DetrOit's Patriotism AS
% Per Cent Above Par

The grand total of Red Cross weeks
merciful munifcence confirms the prom
ise of patriotism-plus contained in De
troit's response TO the consumption and
liberty loan apportionment.
Put down originally for Sl,500,000;
then put up to 100000 Detroit came
thru with the increased quota and $500,
900 besides.
One hundred and twenty-five per cent
patriotic passion TO put more into the
war than we can get out of its a quo
tation that all prideful Detroiters can
contemplate with quickened pulse.
And this is only the coldly statistical
part of it. The sacrificial fervor OF the
committees, the captains and the teams;
the ready response of the humanity help
ers; the inspiring midday rallies OF the
workers, and the thrill Of the parade OF
allies and the melting-pot ceremonial
surely those heart-warming phases of
the campaign proved it is more blessed
to give than to receive for mercy and for
country.
Mr.. Hugh Chalmers and his volunteer
organization go into the bullying roll of
honor that the citizenship and resources
of Detroit are inscribing in this time of
the nations supreme need. lnscribing
here and at Washington and with the
colors wherever they are being borne.
And this particular piece of work was
accomplished according to the choice
tenets of the Chalmers creed of sales
manship. All who contributed felt blest
in the bestowal and were left in frame
of mind that makes it possible to return
for the later appeals that are bound to
come as the country's and democracy's
cause goes marching on.

Pilots of the Purple Twilight

One guess is as good as another. and
mine is that this war will be decided in
the air.
The huge land ornaments of the CEN
trail empires on the one hand. and the
allied forces on the other~have main
tanned practically a deadlock since the
Germans were turned back from Paris.
There have been fluctuations, one side
advancing here and another there, but
no decided and determining advantage.
According TO the reports of the best
informed correspondents who have been
on the scene of action. there is every
prospect that this deadlock will continue
anywhere from a year TO three or four
years. There seems to be a general
opinion that in the end the allies will
win, but that it is going to be long
and exhaustive process
The condition at sea is somewhat SINH
lar The German fleet is locked in mine
guarded harbors where the allied war
ships cannot get at them There seems
TO be no prospect at present of de-
cisve engagement.
AS the United States enters into this
war it would seem that Yankee ingenu-
ity could devise some other way than
merely supplying millions more of young
men for cannon fodder, more boats, and
more guns, and the way that presents
itself, at least to the imagination if not
to the judgment, is the way of the air.
If the extensive machine shops of the
United States could be co-ordinated for
the purpose of manufacturing aircraft,
and if the machinery could be standard
lied, we could certainly, in very short
time. be turning out airplanes as fast as
Henry Ford turns out automobiles. 1t
would not be long before we could es-
tablish record of an airplane every
minute.
If American airplanes in sch over
whelming numbers as to drive the Ger
man craft from the field could be mass
ed upon the battle front they would very
soon render the army in the trenches
useless.
Germany has attacked with the super
submarine let America respond with the
superairplane.
Most Of the inventiveness in this war
seems TO have been on the German side,
such as the asphyxiating gas, shooting
flames. Zeppelins, and the like.
To go on with the war as it has been
carried on is to make a mere wrestling Of
brute force. To mass the new and
boundless resources Of America in an
attack by air would be worthy of our
reputation for originality and inventive
ness.
Was not Tennyson's vision accurate
when he saw that "the parliament Of

be preceded by "the nations airy navies

"A Woman Declares That
Love To Be Lasting Must
! Be Won Through Character

1--WE asked woman, mother-and woman
who thinks and has real opinions matters
that are a part of life and the world-we asked
her to write the following editorial II Is
based on the case OF the Chicago husband who
gave his wife up 10 the man she declares is her
soulmate)
If the attraction, often mistaken for
love, between man and woman could be
relied upon to last, and if there were
no children to be the victims of such
riotous abandonment; also, if other per-
sons involved could cease to love and
neither be seriously hurt, such cases as
that of Estelle Hamsley, Elwood Mat
lock and the respective husband and wife
of each, might be looked upon with
equanimity by the public at large and
regarded as are many other of the radi-
cal ideas of the day.
theoretically marriage ceases to be a
spiritual union when love on either side
no longer exists, and no right-thinking
man or woman desires to hold another
in such union against that others
will.
This is the ground taken by Hamsley,
who is essentially a brave, good and
generous man and one whose unselfish-
ness partakes of divine character.
But there is another factor, so insist
ent in our lives that it must be reck-
oned with before such steps may be
safely taken.
Can any right-minded man or woman
attain happiness, even though joined to
what he considers his soul-mate, if that
happiness is built upon the ruins of an
other life?
We think not.
They have tried il many times and in
the majority of cases the end is disaster
or return to the former mate, who may
or may not be able to tie together the
broken threads Of torn life.
There is feeling in most people that
SOMEWHERE on the broad earth is a
living soul finely attuned to theirs, which
would understand our every thought be-
fore it was uttered and in whose pres
ence we would feel that JOY and peace
which passeth understanding
Occasionally there are gImmerings Of
this satisfaction felt in the society of
those we meet, and IN ardent, Unbalanced
minds this feeling is given rein until it
wrecks homes. lives. and in more primi-
tive individuals, unused to controlling
their will, often results in crime in or
der to remove the obstacle in the way
of supposed bliss.
AS a matter of fact the moral code
(Which means public opinion) will have
to be changed before this sort of thing
can be done without grave danger to the
two who expect to bring about a perfect
union of souls
There is no doubt but that public
opinion deals more lightly with them
than it did two generations ago.

unable to divorce ourselves from the

THE HATE-MAKERS TURN TO
FRANCE.

Many American newspapers have
published American, British and
French reviews of the third year OF the
war ard forecasts of the course of
events in the fourth year which is now
befinning. A dispatch from Berlin
gives brief summary Of a German re-
view and forecast-that of the Berlin
Tageblatt. The most interesting fea-
ture of this is the emphasis placed upon
| the alleged weakness of France. The
military strength of the central empir-
es, says this German reviewer, has in
creased while that of France has Wis
IDLY diminished.
With the accuracy of this general
zation we are not at present concerned.
The point is that it illustrates again a
German conviction which, neither true
or false, is evidently a governing fac
tor in German military policy. This is
the conviction that France is about
done for
The Germans have been trying to
eliminate France by crushing her and
thew have been moved to this effort by
the belief that France, being much
weakened, can be crushed. That, as
we have remarked before this, is ev-
identity the meaning of the Crown
Princes furious and long-sustained Of
fensive against the French front. The
emphasis placed e the alleged weak
ness of France in the Tabeblatt W.
review is an indication of the new
channel into which German hopes have
been turned.
Another interesting point comes to
mind here. The military effort of the
German armies is now being directed
mainly against France; it is a good
time, therefore, for German leadership
to stir up anti-French feeling. Thus

people, whatever their form of govern
ment, as long as they maintain the
right to live outside of International
law There can be no peace while
German armies and German soldiers
continue to write over the face of Eu-
rope that spirit which produced the
war, which made the war the thing
| i. is and which makes Germany the
peril to all our common civilization
that she is.
, If the American people wish, as SEN
ator Borah suggested the other day, a
| restatement of issues, one need not go
outside the case of Belgium, one need
not go beyond the example of the Lu-
sitania. to find it, How shall one
bargain with a wild beast? How shall
one talk with a Germany which con-
fronts the world red-handed and I'M
ashamed, still renewing the old threats
and engaged in the same crime?
Such adversities as have come to the
allied side in recent months should be-
| and must be, only a new incentive
to greater effort and larger sacrifice.
We have seen the procession of Ger
man horror unfolding for three years
from the moment of the invasion of
Belgium in the hour when women and
children were driven into slavery
themselves the survivors of those who
have been murdered and dishonored.
How can any man or woman think OF
peace now, when Germany faces the
world unashamed and unrepentant,
considering only what portion of the
booty wrung from the world by yio-
lence she may retain now and forev-
er?
This war is beyond all things else
fight of spiritual forces against the
material ambition Our civilization
has been wounded, its very soul ane
life have been threatened; and until
that civilization is indicated and re-
established it is idle to talk Of peace;
it is futile to discuss an agreement

WHY 1T Is GOING TO BE A LONG
WAR.

The preponderance of expert opinion
inclines to the belief that the war is to
be long drawn-out struggle, and the
average intelligent man who cannot
qualify as an expert entertains pretty
much the same view
Germany does not admit as yet that
the possibility of being decisively de-
feated has occurred to her leaders of
thought. The Kaiser and his supporters
will not admit that Germany can fail
to win until all hope of longer of de-
Iceiving her own people has passed.
When the government speaks, whether
through the Kaiser or the Imperial
Chancellor it is to give fresh emphasis
to oft reiterated promises of ultimate
triumph for "kultur" and Teutonic mil
itary might.
And this is going to be a long drawn-
out war for the very reason that Ger
man autocracy's most desperate stand
will be made not against Great Britain,
France and the United States, but
against the German people. 1t would
b. easier for the Kaiser to yield to an
overwhelming superior military force
that had fought its way to German soil
than to confess to the German people
that Hohenzollernism has been weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting
and that those ideals which have been
instilled into the very moral fiber of
the nation are false ideals leading in
evitably to bitterest disappointment.
The war would end tomorrow if the
! issue were between the German peo-
pie and the government of the Ally
countries. The Allies are not fight
ing to punish anybody, not even the
Kaiser. What they are pouring out
blood and treasure for is to destroy the
power of such governments as that
which centers in the person of William
II of Germany.
Autocracy made the war inevitable
Autocracy will keep the war going as
long as it can, and because autocraey
/ is so strongly entrenched in Germany,
the struggle is practically certain to be
protracted one, and bitter to the
very end.--Albany Herald.
