A Bellicose Pacifist Floored.

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts has
has been placid in his career, scholarly
and reserved. But this morning he
demonstrated that his intellect does not
wholly dominate him. He showed
fighting spirit that no doubt greatly sur
prised his immediate audience. Heckled
by pacifist. he declared his purpose to
vote for a war declaration if the Prcsi-
dent recommended it. Charged then
with cowardice, he gave the "lie direct
A blow came from the paeifst, and a
harder blow from the senator went
smashing into the pacifst's face.
The incident has its valuable purpose.
It proves that it is futile to try to
change the course of events here by
badgering legislators or insulting them.
The present pacifst demonstration is in
bad taste and ill-advised. 1t is not max
ing converts, but on the contrary is
causing those who face the situation un-
iinchingly to grid themselves with the
greater determination to do their whole
duty to the country in this hour of
trial and need.
Senator Lodge will receive the plau-
dts of the people for his prompt re-
sentiment of the insult wantonly flung
at him this morning. Fisticuffs are de-
plorable anywhere, and especially so in
the halls of legislation. But the blame
rests upon those who provoke them, and
no one with any spark Of manhood can
fail to indorse the action of the senior
|isenator from Massachusetts,.

which the French advanced was easier
to traverse. Tho British, in short. en-
countered the body Of the German army
sooner than did the French and have
since had to hit harder blows than their
allies. Now the British are gaining
ground more rapidly than the French,
and the reason is becoming evident. The
French pushed the German lines farther
back than the Germans thought possible,
and the latter have had to readjust them
selves to an unexpected condition. 1t
is evident that they hoped to hold the
line from Arras to La Fere at some dis
tance west of Cambria and st. Quentin,
but with st. Quentin menaced by the
French from the south through their ad
vance along the Disc it has apparently
been impossible for them to hold as
stif1ly against the British push as their
first calculations contemplated. Now the
British are driving in steadily west and
northwest of st. Quentin. They have
within a week gone nearly half the dis
tance from the first pausing point to
lie Catelet, which lies half way on the
straight line between Cambria and st.
Quentin. The capture of LIE Catelet
would put st. Quentin in pocket. This
is the maneuver that was worked on the
original Somme front to envelop
Peronne and Bapaume and that caused
the general German retirement. Success
sive yieldings necessarily weaken the
most stifily intrenched lines, and at their
present rate the British are likely to
have drawn an arc around st. Quentin
in another ten days that will upset the
supposed general German plan.

Enveloping St. Quentin.

When the big retirement Of the Ger
mans began on the western front the
French made speedier and deeper ad-
vance in pursuit than the British, and
some comment was caused by tho fact,
which was not clearly understood from
the reported circumstances. Now it ap-
pears that the German retirement was
not as great along the front opposed by
the British forces as along the southern
sector, and therefore the French had
larger area Of ground to cover in their
pursuit. Moreover. the country ovsz

War.

%6eclaration Of the Congress which
ASSEMBLIES today war may tomorrow or
even possibly tonight exist between
Germany and the United States.
Many millions of Americans, includ-
ing The Star, believe that Germany is
already in fact making war upon the
United States, in that she has deliber-
ately, repeatedly and unlawfully, in spite
Of solemn warming, destroyed American
lives and shed American blood.
But We are not on our part making
war at this time upon Germany. Neither
the President nor Congress has formally
recognized that state of war exists.
Until tomorrow, then, or perhaps only
until tonight we may differ among
ourselves without being reasonable
over the issue of war or peace. But
when the President speaks and Congress
acts, and war results, as save for
miracle it must, the case is closed and
this issue no longer exists among Ameri-
cans.
When we are at war those Americans
who hoped and labored that war might
not come in the sincere belief that the
national welfare and the worlds well
fare would be better served by peace
will, so far as they are patriots, be trans
formed in a moment into pro-war
Americans, fighting or laboring patri-
otically, each in his sphere, to protect
the Stars and Stripes and the great re-
public which it symbolizes against for
eign assault.
The acid test of patriotism and Ameri-
!. canism will then be applied As each
man or woman responds by acts to this
test so will his or her classification be
determined. There will then be only
Americans and Germans, with the di-
viding line distinctly marked
Patriotic responsibility in wartime is
individual and cannot be shifted.
Whether you and shall be counted as
good and loyal Americans depends
upon the thoroughness with which we
meet and perform the duty of devotion
and self-sacriice imposed upon US by
our country in its need. Whether we
fight under the flag on sea r-land in
actual battle; whether we train our
selves to fight in the future if our coun-
try calls, in the meanwhile contributing
freely OF our treasure; whether our
patriotic labor is not as soldier but in
factory or field providing food and mu
nitions of war for our soldiers and our
allies; the manner in which each of us
Performs his specific duty is the real
test Of his genuine Americanism.
When war comes the whole country

MORE CARE WILL SAVE
HALF YOUR TIRE BILL

Last year the motorists of the
United States took from their wheels
and replaced some 100000 tires,
which had apparently run their course,
representing an original expenditure
of about 5000, ZOO, 900, according to a
statement just issued by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
The cry OF the car owners who dis
carded this great multitude of tires is
for better tires, less tire trouble, fewer
tire changes, longer tire life, lower
cost per mile. Yet, through the ap-
plication of the simplest methods of
tire conservation, at the command of
every motorist, it is estimated that
fully one-half of this enormous NOR.
tality in tires and loss in money might
have been prevented. Thousands. of
these tires were replaced because tney
bad passed away before their time.
If S150, 600, 900 of the nations tire

should be called TO their attention
that the two most important factors

the motor car manufacturers Of this
country TO supplant this horsepower
with motive power. In other words,
we will be called upon to furnish
motor cars and trucks of all descrip-
lions in vast quantities.
Mechanical power will take the
place of horsepower abroad. 1t is
we'll to remember also that labor OF
