Hit Hard

EDITOR THE TIMES:
You are hitting the nail square
ly on the head with 60-pound
mallet when you declare in big
letters and on the first page
and that's the place l like to see
it-for no halfway measures In
the war with Germany.
Where was war ever fought in
a namby-pamby. milk-and-water
way that resulted in anything but
defeat, failure, disaster and ridi-
cule?
The safest way to fight, the
sanest and most merciful way to
overcome in war. according to his
tory's best military examples, is
to make the war great and terri
BILE. The moral effect of this
kind of fighting is good for US
and 1t is demoralizing to the
enemy.
There might be a superlatively
extraordinary occasion once in an
age where Fabian tactics are ex-
pedient, but when Fabius declared
for this dilatory form of military
warfare he had for his antagon-
list the genius Hannibal, one of
the most brilliant strategists the
world has ever seen, and even at
that military men have always
been divided, as the Roman gen.
erals were divided in Hannibal's
day, as to the wisdom of the
course followed by Fabius.
When a nation finds itself fac
ing a solemn and stupendous is
sue, as is this which stands be-
fore us today, It is instructive to
turn to the wisdom of the past
for counsel, and looking down the
vast landscape of history we see
many guideposts and in their ut
terances there is no confusion of
tongues.
When David fought Goliath he
ran to meet him.
When Abraham slaughtered the
kings and overthrow their armies
he made aggressive war.
When the boy Alexander, whom
Bonaparte said knew more about
war than any man that ever lived
fought The Great King he imme.
diately invaded his kingdom. AL.
exander was tremendous be-
lever in hard-hitting and fast hit
ting and close work in war.
! When julius Caesar, whom
some historians term the most
powerful intellect Of time, "mov-
ing through the world like an ele-
mental force, as one of them has
said, made war, he crossed his
Rubicon and marched to Rome.
Imagine Napoleon Bonaparte
Ghengis Khan or Tammerlane
fighting a defensive war in such
situation as ours, and whatever
else may be said of them they
knew how to make war!
They knew the shortest road t.
peace with the least effusion Of
blood was by immediate and hare
direct hitting and close might
ing.
Had the north and the soutl
each fought a defensive war we
would still have the rebellion
with us. Fancy our fighting 6
defensive war with Spain few
years ago. The reason that wal
was settled quickly and with sc
little expense of blood and treas.
ure was the expeditionary naval
and land forces we sent into Cubs
and the Philippines and destroyed
the Spanish fleets and captured
or drove out their armies.
A like line of aggressive action
must be figured out and fought
out IL a like result is obtained In
our present situation.

FAWCETT
SUED BY
KAISER

John B. Kaiser, the city librar-
Ian, today filed suit against Mayor
Fawcett for $2S8.15, the amount
of a warrant that the mayor has
held up since last June for Kais-
er's trip east to the national IL
brarians' meeting in New York.
The library board sanctioned the
expense.
Kaiser claims the board author
lied the trip east, and that the
board wanted him to gather GER
tain information from other liz
braries in the east.
The warrant was drawn up by
the library board and after being
signed by Controller Shoemaker,
was held up by Mayor Fawcett on
the ground that the city should
not pay for such trip.

10 to l, She Says

EDITOR THE TIMES:
There is much talk regarding
the old-fashioned girl; many sigh
and gasp at the passing of these
good old-fashioned girls. But
this is done only when man is in
a semi-conscious state. When he
is really awake he much prefers
the 1917 model, and il given his
choice between a woman who
paints, powders, wears corsets,
silks and is strictly up to date,
and one who is not, I'll bet 10 to
/ the vote would be unanimous in
favor of the former.

Siberia where horses run wild. Little

ages of twenty-one and thirty, inclu-
sive, have been registered in the
United States. More than a million
have been examined. accepted and are
already in camps of training for the
war. All wars are fought in the
main. by young men. Ahab. king Of
Israel. was told by the prophet that
the Syrian host would he delivered in
to his hand. Ahab said: BY whom"
and the prophet replied: by the
young men!" This has been the rule
in all the battles which have been
fought since that time. Our young
men are going to turn the tide in the
great war and bring victory and safe
ty for democracy with all that it
involves.
1t is vitality important that the
young men should be enlisted for
Christ today. Never before We're
there so many of them in the church.
