THE NEW LIBERTY BOND ISSUE.

THE NEW LIBERTY BOND ISSUE.
The banks of the United States have
found that the hotation of the first issue
of $1,000 100000 of the Liberty bonds did
not disrupt business, either their own
or any other, nor did it even interfere
except temporarily, with the ordinary
course of their transactions Another
and greater issue of the bonds will not
handicap them permanently in view oil
the greatly expanding business OF the
United States through foreign trade, and
they will be glad to assist IN the nota-

American Bankers association, Peter w.

THE RESILIENCY OF BRITISH ARMY
STRENGTH.

STRENGTH.
The certain indication of the weaken
ing of the German land forces is afforded
by the futility of the counter attacks
which the German commanders order
after every fresh requirement of terri
tory by the British or the French on the
western front Never has this futiity
been more noticeable than since the Brit
ish began their recent offensive on the
Ypres sector Not only have the British
been able to advance almost mile at a
time but they have been able to with
stand the fiercest counter blows given
bv. Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria
after great concentration of troops.
Moreover, the British strength has been
of such resiliency that it has been able
to hurl new offensive the day following
most bitter counter attack by the Ger
mans. This power to rebound after be
ing attacked is definite revelation that
the British have the preponderance Of
strength in men, guns and munitions,
lending strength to the belief that it is
only question of time before the Ger
man war lords will be compelled to re-
linauish their bloody hands from down
trodden Belgium. The strength of the
allies already in the field is constantly
increasing, relatively, as the German
forces are being worn down by the con
slant hammering. That superiority will
be tremendously more marked just as
soon as the American expeditionary
forces take the field to show the kaiser
ct al that world domination is but an
idle dream for them One million Amer
leans, with the proper accompaniment Of
guns and munitions, will shorten the war
six months, if, indeed, they do not bring
it to a speedy termination. That the
bloody minded kaiser sees the handwrit-
ing on the wall is shown by the apparent
haste on his part to assure Pope Benedict
that Germany is ready to turn over most
of her rights 1--WE use the word careless
ly) in Belgium, at the same time saving
chance for German exploitation in GER
tain parts of King Albert's realm. II is
too late for the kaiser to exact terms of
peace; he will have to sue for peace and
take the LOSERS part.

American troops are taking their final
test in subsection to shell fire before be-
ing placed on the firing line in France
for actual battle and the prospects are
that within a few weeks the men of the
first expeditionary force from the United
States will have real chance to show
their mettle against the Germans. Re-
ports which have been permitted to come
Through the various censors indicate that
the regulars have stood the early tests
well and that they are eager for actual
participation in battle. There are not
enough of them in France to make any
.appreciable effect on the progress of the
war but the men already there will form
a tried nucleus for the great army which
is now in the making and which is de-
stined to swing the balances of the war
in favor of the entente allies. The more
substantial the training this nucleus gets
the more steadfast will prove the entire

George Washington.

We commend the birthday OF
George Washington as a day for
sober reflection and stock-taxing by
American pacifsts, including that
transforming Chautauqua gladiator,
William Jennings Bryan, and the in
tellectual leader of the peace party,
Oswald Garrison Willard.
Washington was no "peace-at-any-
price" man; the American Revolution
was decreed by group of high-spirit-
ed and clear-thinking Colonials not be-
cause Of any tyranny and oppression
of the sort which drove the French
into the debacle which toppled over
the house of Bourbon, but because of
the suggestion and the implication Of
tyranny in small and comparatively
unimportant tax which was resented.
The Revolution came because
Anglo-Saxon principles of self-gov-
ernment had been bred in the bone
of the pioneers who had fled from
oppression abroad. They were willing
to fight for a principle, just mere
academic" principle, and did not wait
for tyranny to grow untn It hung
like a millstone around their necks.
There was no pacifsm in 1916. Not
even the Tories were pacihsts or nom
resistants; they were active Royalist
sympathizers.
George Washington is the symbol
OF the American Revolution to the
present generation of his country
men. His world fame has steadily
grown as the republic he founded has
developed into the foremost democ-
racy of modern times. 1t is we'll for
Americans in this eventful hour of
their history to remember that blood
was spilled that the nation might
be born. There is no Communication
OF the ancient rule that nations which
maintain their rights must fight for
them; not all the clever logic of the
pacihSts can wipe it out.
The Washington herald., 1917-02-22
Forcing the Issue.

Not the U-boat menace, but the
food problem is driving home to the
President the need of drastic and i'm
mediate action in the German crisis.
The subjects are directly related.
Submarines have created chaos in ship
sailing schedules at New York and
other American ports; the direct re-
suit is a freight tie-up at railroad ter
minals; following that comes wide
spread arrangement OF food transpor-
tation and distribution. The country
has had ample warning in the past
two weeks. 1t is now past the warn
ing stage" and the plain, flat ques-
tion is up to the White House as to
whether action can be delayed many
days longer.
What is the action required? Just
what the majority of responsible
thinkers in the nation have called for
since the time of the rupture with
Germany-the arming of American
merchantmen with full governmental
support behind them. These ships
are not sailing now into the blockade
zone because they have not been given
this support. They are not armed
because the administration has blown
hot one day and blown cold the next
on the question, and has evaded any
definite stand. The performance has
not been creditable to the President.
He has been put in the position of
decreeing indirectly the Punishment
of American shipping from waters
where Germany has forbidden it to
go. He is represented now by some
of his spokesmen as hesitating to take
the needed step for fear it will be
"rnisinterprcted' by Germany. He
should make his action so clean-cut
and decisive as to admit of no mis-
interpretation.
1t looks now as if he will not be

The Voice Of the People.

That in the high cost of living the
country is facing a crisis which may
surpass even the seriousness of the
war situation is becoming more ap-
parent daily. Food prices have ad-
vanced far beyond that stage where
they are material for paragraphers,
and in a number of cities actual food
riots are occurring.
A food riot in any community is a
national problem. 1t is the voice of
the people, and unless the lawmakers
of this country awake and enact leg
islation that will remedy the condi-
ton and punish those responsible,
these United States may find them
selves facing a civil or socialistic war
of far greater proportions than any
international conflict.
Prices of necessities have risen to
such prohibitive figures that not only
the poor man, but persons who here
tofore have been possessed OF moder-
ate incomes find it extremely difficult
to meet living expenses.
Food riots may not sound so dan
gerous because OF the fact that this
country has become somewhat fa-
miliar with the phrase. But until now
the news has come from Europe and
we have not vitality felt the effect.
We have drifted along in the false
security OF inflated prosperity and
looked upon rising food costs as a
sort of necessary evil and left it in the
main.to eliminate itself.
5 There is but one process of elimina-
ton for the problem.
If the condition is abnormal
through the action of any individual,
or group of individuals, punishment
commensurate with the enormity of
the offense should be dealt without
favor
1t is a problem OF unbounded pro-
portions for the President, Congress,
and every branch of our legislative,
executive, and judicial government,
and delay may mean national suicide.
