Brilliant British
Epigrams On War

LONDON. Aug. 4.-Some of the re-
views Of the war published today 10
memorialize the conclusion Of three
years of struggle are epigrammatic
For instance that from Sir Robert Ce-
ell which says The path 10 freedom
lies through the German lines
Sir Edward Carson said the Ger
mans mnsheathed the sword; they must
not allowed to put il back unbroken."
All editorials agree that victory for
the allied democracies is absolutely as
surcd: that their strength i growing
while that of the German allies j. wan
ing. They recognize, however, that
Germany remains, from military
point, economically and politically
strong and formidable and that her
downfall i hindcred by the results of
the Russian revolution.

the U-boas piracy and thereby rlsked
the declaration of war by the United
States acknowledged its own desperate
condition and has ever since tried, par
ticularly before Verdun, to break the
French and British lines when it found
that the U-boat frightfulness did not
frighten and was failure as military
proposition.
Thus barring some great military sue.
cess, or some political changes, among
the fighting nations, Germany cannot
hope to win the war. while with the en-
trance Of an American army and the
abundant munitions and food supplies
from across the seas France and Britain
have only to hold their present positions
and the war will end next summer.
No military news of Importance this
week, unless the fact that the Italians
appear to be more than holding their
own in resisting the Teutons. In that
case we may expect that the Italians
with their own reinforcements and the
reinforcements from the French and
British will grow stronger and their re.
sistance more certain as the time goes
on.

"chinooks from Sahara" Secretary Of
State Tom Hall has just been acquitted
OF embezzelment of Automobile funds
on charges preferred by the state ex-
aminer. Treasurer Steen has refused
to honor draft drawn by the state audi.
tor on him for clerk hire. on the ground
that it is not needed and that the state
Auditor has already exceeded by nearly
four thousand dollars for clerk salaries
than did his predecessor. OF course
such controversies involve all the officials
from the Governor aad supreme court
judges down. 1t is evidently case of
happy family" and mostly within the
non-partisan party lines. Perhaps the

lind himself in the hands of the Bolshe-
Wiki of North Dakota little later.

Senator Baer has introduced a bill in

purchase seed wheat for the destitute
farmers of North Dakota. Several news

that these farmers who have been toll

years better move to northern Minnesota
to locate where such condition never ex-
lsted. Mr.. Baer who we understand
has not dollar invested in this state
and who was only transient when he
was elected to the United States Senate,
probable never will return to this state

engineer divisions are third in popular

WARDWELL d THOMPSON.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Again the birthday of the Prince of
Peace and there is no peace. But in the
hearts of the peoples of all nations the
desire for peace increases as the bloody
work goes on. This perhaps is the
strongest power for peace that we just
now know-but that it is power we all
do know and in time it will show itself
stronger than the sword.
From military point of view the past
year has given neither side any decisive
advantages over the other. For the Teu
tons the collapse of Russia and the drive
in Italy were the principle events, while
the salients made by the French and
British in France while not important as
to terrain, were important as showing
the superiority Of the entente allies in
men and guns.
Many other matters have only contin-
ued the "attrition'' of the war grind
which perhaps after all may be the most
important military factor in the achieve
ment of success.
AS to the exhaustion by the different
forms of ''attritlon" we know that both
France and Britain while far from ex-
haustion yet are both feeling the pinch
in the supply Of men, money, munitions
and food. The real condition of Ger
many is best figured by the fact that
while its losses are certainly equal to
those of the entente allies, the blockade
of it's ports has been sufficient to pre-
vent any large amount of supplies from
abroad, and @hence after four years of
war Germany must necessarily be rum
ming very short of many necessities, and
it is impossible to prevent the conclu-
sion that unless something now unseen
happens that country will shortly be ex.
hausted. That is, it would appear that
Germany is so near the end of it's re-
sources that we may logically look for
some desperate action within short
time.
Germany as yet has as many men in
the field as ever ind with the collapse Of
Russia has more men to face France and
Britain than ever, SO this will be the
time to make the struggle or never, be-
cause it has now few available reserves.
On the other hand Franco and Britain
Also have more men in the field than
ever before. and soon the Americans will
be coming fresh and strong to reinforce
