Those women fighters over in Russia may fail in

not fail in picking a press agent.

ably still had material advantage due
to this long. intensive preparation, yet
at that time both France and Germany
had at least brought into play the
highest forces that a democratic ma
tional life vas capable of producing
and opposing to those of the maximum
imperialistic inspiration.
With Different Ideals
The third year of the war opened
with this democratic and imperialistic
contrast even more pronounced in the
field of military operations than else
where. Against the generals command
ing the French armies - generals
whose whole military education, ideals
and aims had been those of a demo-
cracy-was ranged the German armies
in almost every instance
by German princes and sovereigns in
spired by the highest imperialistic am
training and beliefs.
The third a of the war entered
with two great battles already in pro-
gress-each representing a different
form of warfare and a form which the
Germans themselves by their superior
preparation had been able at will to
impose on France. At Verdun it was
he wal of siege; on the Somme, the
var of trenches.

That "Stragetic Retreat'

~ ltSNASu
Preparations were Immediately be-
gun by the French for the resumption
of the battle of the Somme this spring
IN a vastly extended front. Facing
irrepairable losses and certain defeat
in this event, Hindenburg chose to
avoid the danger by his retreat of Feb
ruary and March, abandoning the.
trench warfare which the Germans.
themselves had previously chosen, and
seeking to impose on the French the
open, strategic warfare of vancouver.
Just as the French had accepted the
warfare of siege imposed at Verdun
and the warfare of trenches imposed
on the Somme, they accepted likewise
this new form of warfare-with the ex-
ception of one point.
Instead of accepting battle before
the Hindenburg line on the ground
prechosen by the imperial German
the generals of France with
the superior strategy inspired in men
who are fighting for the democratic
ideals of their own land. forced the
Germans to accept battle on the ground
prechosen by them-on the Aisne and
in Champagne. That battle still con-
with an ever increasing ascend
ancy on the part of the French that
gives the utmost hope of precipitating
/ definite German retreat.

beginning of kidney disease. If you
have reason to suspect your kidneys

TELEPHONE EMPLOYEES To
BUY LIBERTY BONDS

Arrangements have been made
whereby employees of the Iowa Tel
ephone Company may subscribe for
Government Bonds of the Liberty
Loan and pay for them on monthly
installments, according to an an
nouncement received by Manager
Virtue.
In addition to the s5.000.000 of
the bonds which the Bell Telephone
System has taken, it is expected that
the employees of the various COM
panes of the System will subscribe
for an equally large amount under
the plan of paying for the bonds on
monthly installments.
The installment plan provides for
the payment of 81 each month for
ten months and IS per month for
two months on each $50 bond for
which the employee subscribes. This
will enable telephone employees to
pay for their bonds in one year and
collect six months interest in June,
1918. This will give them return
of approximately 3R per cent inter-
est on each installment paid.
In case an employee desires at any
time to make all remaining payments
at once and take up MS bond, he will
be permitted to do so.

WashingtOn-Uncle Sam is rather
pleasantly surprised at the way the
nation Is standing the war tax gaff.
The grouching, such as there Is. has
been growled in minor key. and most
Of 1t comes from the trouble-makers
the whining pacifists, those Of sick

Nobody really enjoys paying excess

And If you are married, you must pay
two per cent on what you make over
$1,000. The tax for all of 1917 must
be paid by June l, 1918.
All of the new taxes fall upon the
average man. They have nothing to

They are part of the program of
