Entering an artillery observation
post for the first time is a surpris-

should not stumble or make any I'M

Money and National Defense
~ On. FRANK CRANE
tCopyright 1915. BY Frank Crane)

With his usual perspicacity Henry
Ford, In offering the free use of his plant
to the government in case of war,
touches upon vital point.
Il cannot believe that war will come"
said Mr.. Ford. "but If II does il Is then
our duty and the duty of every man to
help all he can, and not TO make money
out Of the distress of his country.
1T is my firm conviction that war
would seldom occur IL individuals did not
make money out Of war. They form the
interest which cultivates so-called patri-
otism, which alarms the fears of the peo-
pie and throws them into the greatest
Of all calamities.
Real patriotism win never seek to
make money out Of the misfortunes of
the country. Real patriotism will cause
every man to contribute his share when
the country unfortunately falls into war,
contribute it without cent profit"
One thousand one-man submarines,
eighteen to twenty feet long. plus 5000
motors day, is what Mr.. Ford says his
gigantic Detroit plant could turn out In
case of war.
The Mexican Petroleum company,
thru Mr.. Doheny, its president, offers
the government five million barrels of
fuel oil now in storage. Other firms
tender to the nation their plants and
services.
When war comes IL is the supreme
test of national life. Everywhere the
gospel is preached that men should vol
unteer to give their lives for their coun-
try.
|. II life, why not money!
If human life is TO be commandeered
to the last man, il need be, why not
capital to the last dollar?
Many fortunes were made In our
civil war. Huge profits have already
been reaped from this present war. The
ethics of war profits is questionable.
War means untold loss, calamity, dis
aster. No man should reap private
gain from the public misery.
The poor give their bodies to be
wounded or slaughtered; their families
are plunged into bitter hardship. II u
but right that the rich sacrifice also.
II speaks well for the patriotism OF
our country that great business con-
Germs are offering their services even as
men are coming forward TO give their
lives.
We doubt not that, il the worst
comes, the wealth Of the nation will vol
unteer for its defense as eagerly as the
brain and Drawn.
And if il comes to the CONSUMPTION
of all men for military service, such an
act ought TO be accompanied by laying
the nations hands upon its accumulated
wealth.

President Wilson Signs
a Greater Defense Measure

While the senate was in the throes OF
articulation over the bill authorizing the
arming of American ships, the president
provided for a more sweeping and for.
midable system of national defense by
affixing his signature to the measure that
banishes booze and booze advertising
from twenty-six states of the union.
Whisky is never neutral. Processing
friendship and service, it is manknd's
historic foe; fiercely inimical to both in
dividual and national life.
No military preparation for defense
and no achievement of arms over an
European enemy could rebound as def
nitely to the credit Of this country as the
overthrowing of the national curse and
abomination in majority Of the states.
The country went into the war against
this ancient and treacherous power by
vote of the people The people them
selves won the war Not president or
an ex-president or any political leader
sufficiently prominent to be nominated
for the presidency by either of the two
leading parties with the single exception
of the Hon. William j. Bryan, had the
temerity to lead the onslaught upon the
liquor power.
With reference TO the severing of dip
somaniac relations with King Alcohol,
nearly all the metropolitan newspapers
Of the country were pacifists at any price

advertising card rates.

The chief glory of keeping the fires of
