In commenting on his decision. the
governor stated that after due dclib.
Grafton OF all phases OF the proposed

west are ready to food the world
with silver now that II has rirCn
above the dollar mark per ounce
The attitude OF Governor boyle is
that although Nevada has wonderful
silver mining resources and that the
mining industry will be greatly benc

that metal, II will be wise To avoid
agitation at this time and permit tn,
market to work out its destiny until

materialism. ignorancc--thosc three
and the greatest of these is ignUr-
ance. WiIrul ignorance is at the bot.
tom of il all. II is the cause OF hatred.
tyranny. rapine, treachery, cowardice
and indifference; and these not alor"
in Germany but also in America. and.
incidentally, in EIko.
There is no excuse for ignorance
and yet We tolerate it. Let us have

the trcachcry Of spies and traitors.
Let us know the anguish of the naked
steel in womcn's breasts, the pangs Of
hunger in fragile infant bodies. And
know we shall ourselves feel and act.

WAR TO THE FINISH
by Carl D. Groat, United Press Stan

by Carl D. Groat, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. L.
A. The United States will talk
8 specific terms Of peace only
when Germany is beaten.
This Is the decision of the govern
ment as allied democracies enter upon
the fourth year Of the world struggle.
Behind 1t are found the reasons for
Americas refusal TO support. now, re-
tention by France Of Alsace-Lorraine
as a peace proviso. It further reveals
the United States is committed to
press through to the finish, side by
side with her allies. And it may be
stated with authority that there Is an
understanding among all these ma
tions--America included-that there
will be no separate peace.
The government today is concerned
only with victory. The government
refuses to state even what terms it has
in mind-if any-though the belief is
that the allies now have common
understanding with this country as to
how far the war should proceed and
what must be wrested from Germany
when victory comes.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-08-01

UNITED Press Leased Wire 6eTvtoe.1
LONDON. Aug. Tho most titanic
concentration Of men and engines OF
destruction the world has ever known.
was juggernauting it's bloody way over
the German lines today. In twenty
four hours the war monster, represent
ing England's and Frances supreme
efforts, has spread over thirty square
miles. An area Of that size. blackened
by rain of shells such as even the
greatest of wars has not heretofore
seen, and dyed probably by the blood
Of thousands, has so far been wrench
ed from the invaders.
London is not counting the cost to-
day. 1t expects great human sacrifice.
It hopes, however. that the stroke may
be so aimed that Germany must relin-
quish her submarine bases on the
coast. The whole nation waited ex-
pectantly today as It's troops still
drove forward in probably the great
est thanking operation in the history
of military science. The front started
at twenty miles. Fighting today had
apparently spread over an even great
er extent, from Armentieres on the
south to Ddxmude on the north.
Already Field Marshall Hais's men,
assisted by indomnitable French
troops, have penetrated at some points
three miles through the German
lines.
The count Of prisoners has not yet
been reported, but It will reach at
least five thousand. German losses in
killed and wounded will be staggering.
Every front dispatch today dwelt on
the terrible effect Of the deadly British
artillery fire Line after line Of Ger
man trenches were literally levelled
into crumbling earth, the concrete en-
placements reduced to dusty frag-
ments.
On the line where the French we're
driving ahead, the "oloooy Yser' again
lived up to its name. Time after time
French engineers bridged the stream,
only TO have their pontoon structures
wrecked by the eneny's desperate de-
fensive fire. But they got the troops
across and beyond, in the mud and
muck Of the lowlands. the poilus
struck hard and furiously.
England and France are driving at
what military experts have Judged to
be the most vulnerable spot In the
German line. Any great penetration
here will menace the enemy grip on
the North sea bases, where the suDma-
rine warfare centers, no less than the
German hold On the great industrial
centers Of Belgium around Lille, Tour
mai, Roulers and Courtrai.
The offensive is no overnight plan OF
strategy. Preparations have been go
ing forward for the stroke for more
than month. Germany had warning
Of something that was impending In an
artillery preparation that began twen-
ty days ago and reached a continuous
crescendo OF fury a week back.
