BE PATIENT,
NOT 0isHEARTENE0,
BUT ABOVE ALL LOYAL

This is no time for stampede
not any more than IL is a time for
rejoicing. The fact that Germany and
Austria are having some successes
along the Italian front does not mean
that the war is lost-not any more
than the fact that America oyersub-
scribed the Liberty Loan means that
the war is won.
But the Italian situation may serve
to bring home to us the fact that we
are actually facing the stern realities
OF war.
To those among us who had felt as
soon as the Sammies got into the
trenches they would 'go over the
top" and Germany would be licked
without further delay, there are many
bitter disappointments in store.
simultaneously with the arrival of
the American troops on the battle
line, Germany has scored her greatest
victory of the year and it cannot be
denied that Italy is seriously threat
ened.
But Paris was seriously threatened
at one stage of this war-and so was
verdun and so was Calias. No battle
Is won until it has been fought to a
finish and there is many n deahi.ne
between the Teuton horde and the con-
quest of Italy.
Yet this much We must understand.
The full brunt of the battle does not
rest with General Diaz and his men.
II is not with Haig or Petain or even
our own Pershing.
The deciding factor is the way we
at home back up the fighting line.
The things that we are asked by the
government to do may seem pretty
and small and insignificant to us. But
we should remember that those who
are giving their lives to working out
the winning OF this war believe thai
these things which are asked are vi
tally important.
II we remember this and If we ar,
loyal, II we deserve the name o
Americans, then we will gladly d,
everything that Is asked.--Los An
geles Herald.

British Scientists Discover That Bios

The munition output Of lndia has In

fold, mainly through the discovery thnt
one Of India's commonest blossoms. the
flower Of the mahua or mhOwra tree,

II widely known to all travellers In
Brltain's Asiatic empire. but Its use as
base for explosives Is at least one
thing new under the sun, says the
Scientific American.
When the war broke out, acetone.
which forms the chief ingredient Of
cordite. was extracted mainly from
wood, maize. and starch; and the Brit
ish admiralty erected n great factory
for the process OF acetone recovery
from starch. But fortunately two Eng
llsh scientists In Hydernbnd discovered
that the mahua flowers contained ace
tone In larger proportions than II Ia
found In any other vegetable substance
that this inoffenslve bloom was ten
time richer In tho material In Ques-
tion thnn amy known wood. In fact,
the director general Of ordnance for
India reports that the NAHUM is BY
all odds the best source for acetone
known.
Manufacture on large scale IL now
under wny and It Is whispered that the
abundance Of munitions with which
the British forces In Mesopotamia ap-
pear to be blessed Is to be attributed
to the new discovery.
