YOU WILL WIN THE WAR.

Saturday Evening POST
Two great battles against Germany
are being f0ught-One In France and
one In America. We shall win on both
fronts.
Mr.. Hoover says that food will win
the war.
Mr.. Hurley sayf that ships will win
the war.
other men say hat guns. shells. air
planes, Thrift Stamps or Liberty bonds
will win the war. A large number
hope that the other fellow will win
the war. They are all mistaken.
You will win the war.
Just how o o o will win depends
solely on how long II will take YOU to
get down 10 first principles. TO cut
out your nonsensical and %nonessen-
tlal Ideas. TO discard your pea-ahoOter
and pop-gun notions OF war and to
concentrate yourself and everything
you possess on a one-hundred mile
line In France.
Someone has pointed with pride to
the fact that Great Britain is fighting
on thirty-seven fronts. But this is at
best a necessary evil. a defensive mea-
SURE to safeguard the British empire
itself. The statement was made to lend
force TO an argument that the United
States should divert men and money
10 Russia. We hope that this will not
be- done. Until Germany Is whipped
on the western front she is victorious
everywhere. Once forced back W. the
Rhine she Is beaten everywhere.
We must not chip away our resour-
ces on deuces and busted straights.
Before you can win In France con-
gfess must get on a war basis. II this

If 1t Should Be He.

Unusual interest attaches TO the report,
printed in the papers this week, that a
French patrolboat in The Mediterranean,
after destroying German submarine,
captured thereon Lieutenant Schwieger,
the man who commanded the German
submarine that destroyed the Lusitania.
II this report Is true, the question that
naturally arises Is What shall be done
with him?
1t is significant III TINS connection that
recently the German " ar Office issued an
announcement that Lieutenant Schwleg-
or had died II may be we'll understood
why such an announcement was made.
The German War Office well knew that
should this premier assassin be captured.

world from which Germany has long
since deliberately separated herself =

Ordinary prisoners OF war are held IN
captivity. Convicted traitors and desert
.ers are executed after trial But what
shall be done with such a despicable
assassin as the man vino deliberately
destroyed the Lusitania and so many Of
it's living freight Of men, women and
children?
There can be but one answer If the
French have really captured the leader IN
the awful Llisitania murders, there is
but one fate for him A formal court

Helping the Wnr-Blind.

As the result of the successful work done
for the blind at Ampere, n. j., where
they are earning their livings dong clec-
trical construction, DIR. Schuyler >
Wheeler, president of the Crocker-
Wheeler Co, recently spent three months
in France and England, introducing his
system of blind work in those countries,
on the invitation of their respective
governments As the United States rs
facing the possibility of American soldiers
being blinded, DR.. Wheeler S trip is of
special interest
"In France. | found that they had
adopted the paternalistic attitude toward
the blinded soldier" he said, whereas in
England. under tho able direction of Sir
Arthur Pearson, the idea is TO fit the SOL
der for further use in the commercial
world In England they strive to make
him independent and able To earn his own
living The English idea must be the
American as the people of this country be-
Iieve that ever man, blind or sighted,
should have the opportunity of earning his
own living There, at st. Dunstan s, the
blinded soldiers and sailors hostel IN
London, the men are taught dozen
rades, from cobbling to massage. They
are taught to write their letters on the
typewriter and to do stenographic work
They are graduated able TO earn their
living in competition with sighted workers.
More than 500 are now doing this and OF
this number. more than $50 are earning
more money than they did before they
entered tho army and lost their eyes.
This Is a splendid record and shows the
wav to us when we have to face the same
problems.
DIR. Wheeler found that while the
French insisted the blinded soldiers
should only do such work as they can do
at home, the English believed IN fitting
them to take their places in the workshops
and factories, as they did before they
sacrificed their eyes for liberty Tie be
lievcs that this idea should hc adopted
here and established his blind workroom
at Ampere to prove that 1t was possible.
This workroom, known rs the Double
Duty Finger Guild, docs exactly the
same kind of work as is done in the fac
tory OF the Crocker-W hecler Co. The
blind insulatc the coils used in motor and
dvnamos and do their work as effectively
as the sighted workers In addition, the
blind are doing other work hitherto done
by the sighted, such as weighing and
stacking rotor cores. assembling and rIve,-
ing pole shoes, sorting punching and tap
ing field coils Graduates Of the guild arc
working in other factories Five are
sticking pins in cards in the factory Of the
Consolidated Safety Pin Co, Of Bloom
field, y. j., two are helping build tire
treads and attending 10 stock tables in
the factory Of the Combination Rubber
Co. at Bloomfield n J., one is twisting
wire BY machinery in the New York fac
tory of the Western Electric Co and one
is painting and polishing the arms and
legs Of dolls in the factory Of the New
York Toy Co, in Newark, \ J., and
thus the blind may bc made self-sustaln-
ing and independent.
