LIBERTY LOANS AS AN ANSWER TO GERMANY.


the past few months the German rulers and press
have suddenly ceased their pretense Of paying little
attention TO what America is preparing to do IN the
war.
The fun state Of facts may not be known to the plain
peopie but the "allhghest circles reveal enough TO
make the Germans view the future with apprehension
They are therefore acting true TO form. They are
now singing their hymn Of hate about us
First it was cyeed at the French then at the English
Now Il Is our turn.
Abuse is heaped upon President Wilson for declining
TO talk peace with the murdcrous crew now In control
OF the German empire.
Cheer is brought TO German hearts by assuring 'ne
faithful the American army is joke. and that our navy
cannot hone TO cope with the submarine menace.
Editors lick their lips over fond dreams Of ndemnities
they are going TO extract from MS, and over visions OF
nroparaton TO secure outposs for the future war cy
are going TO make upon us
We arc told Germany's answer to President wilson >

indeed It has been a surprising success sometns o'V
three billion dollars being secured
The rmercan people are determined TO match soldier
for soidior with the Kaiser until he is defeated. we
ave d,ern,ined 10 match dollar for dollar with the Ger
man nation-and then some. We have had the oppor-
tunity in this second Liberty Loan. and II mas Deen

II we agree with our President In his stirring ana
nohe words in which he dashed the Prussan masters Oh
the plain people, II resent the slurs ana ridicule
heaped upon the brave lads who comprise our army anu

we will have to pay humping indemnity to the KAISER
wo viii show the feeling that is in us by making ui'

only in that way millions Of us show inc halse'

-Four times in the present war Ger
many has sought a decision by one ter
rnendous thrust. Her ;lrst effort was
parried at The Marine and blocked at
the User. Her second blow was success
ful at the Dunaiec and ultimately
brought about the collapse Of Russia.
Her third blow was made at Nerdun.
The present attack upon Italy Is her
fourth effort, and, like the preceding,
10 aims not at a victory on the field
primarily. or the capture OF territory,
but the complete paralysis OF the tia
liam war power and the ultimate cllmi-
nation Of Italy from the war.
on the military side the German at
tack upon Italy must be compared with
Mackensens great victory at the Duna-
ice. The strategy is the same. The
success up TO the present moment has
been Of the same sort We shall I'M
sderstand the victory In Italy better by
recalling the Galicion triumph Of two
years ago.
In April, 1915, the main Russian for
ces were driving an offensive aiming
at the Hungarian Plain and designed
to put Austria out Of the war. They
had achieved victories more decisive
than have the Italians about the Ison-
20. and the recent taking Of Przemysl
was a greater exploit than the Italian
capture OF Gorilla. On May 1 the main
thrust Of the Russians was still going
VIGOROUSLY through the Carpathians
The flank of the victorious army OF
Ivanoff was covered by the army OF
nimitrieff along the Dunaiec River
precisely as Cadorna's flank was GOV
cred by the italian army which stood
between TOlmno and plezz0. on May
Day Mackensen, after a tremendous ar
tlllery preparation, attacked Dimitrleff''
army and destroyed IL, and titus opened
the flank and rear OF lvanons army
Which had to retreat preciptately L
avoid development.
Now. this is exactly what has hap
pcned IN Italy. Mackensen's army, hay
| ing broken its way through the Italian
| defences west OF the Upper isonz
| River and pushed through the noun
| lain passes, has come down tovar
| Udlne, through Cividale, exactly acros
| the rear Of an the lines of cOmmunica
| ton which served C0dornas army fac
ing the Carso Plateau and occupyin
the Bainsizza Plateau

once the resistance Of the Northern
Army was broken, Csdorna had no
choice but to draw his troops out OF
Gorilla and off the Bainsizza Platoau.
and the sole question became wlIolner
he could retreat westward quickly
enough TO escape development by ile
forces coming down from the north
Could he do this, then his natural Inc
was the Tagliamento River, which runs
south from the Alps TO the Adr.atlc ana
offers an admirable line OF DEFENCE
provided his forces could be reconceh-
trated behind 10 in time. II was on the
east bank Of this stream that the AUS
trians made their final stand IN Napo-
Icons Italian operations, When inc
passage OF the Tagliamento by lhe LOT
sican was one Of the feats OF the great
campaign Of 1877.
Il would be a mistake to minimize
the extent Of the italian disaster. IL
would be an error to refuse to recog-
nize how much Austrian and German
morale will be strengthened by a great
victory. We cannot blink the posi-
bility that Italy may fall into domestic
disorder as did Russia, but on the
other hand the time has not yet ar
rived TO give up hope that ltaly VIII
be able shortly to stand and check inc
invader and that national unity VIII De
stimulated by invasion, as 1t was IN
France. Nor should we permit our
selves to overlook the fact that the
front between Switzerland and the
North Sea is the decisive front ana
that all German operations away from
this front are In the nature OF a sioe
show, unless they produce results thal
affect that front. II they succeed IN de,
taching large number Of French and
prltish troops from the Western front
