 American army was ready to take the field They assuredly are anxious in regard to the rapidly growing forces from across the Atlantic ocean, and are trying their utmost to use up the old armies in front of them before the fresh transatlantic troops arrive in sufficiently strong force to turn the balance.
 The heroism of the veteran troops who, in these last days, have inflicted such terrible losses on the flower of the German army, has given the foe a rude shock
 The Germans probably will try to break thru somewhere else, but the allies, with their armies under com mand of General Foch, are confident that they will check the Germans.

SAVING The DAYLIGHT
Majority of People Do Not
Want to Change Back.

Now that we have a season of
longer evenings un Ter the daylight
saving plan, we can begin to figure
up and see what we have gained.
The most obvious results are time
secured for outdoor work and re-
creation, saving in light bills, better
working conditions. Under daylight
saving the production Of back yard
gardens is probably double, Theo,
retically people might just as welt
get up at S a M and work an hour
in their garden before breakfast
As a practical propositation they
would never do it After the even
ing meal they are in the mood for
it, if we give them the light to do it
by. Women say the good light
helps them do more sewing. A
certain fatigue goes with artificial
light. and factory production should
have been better under this system
An employer of labor is quoted
in the newspapers as saying that
the change had given his help a
new outlook on life. 1t had enabled
them to take up new interests
Whereas formerly they could do
nothing after supper but loaf around
the streets and hangouts. this sum-
mer they did garden work and the
younger fellows went into out door
sports. The long daylight promoted
n neighborly intercourse and people
got better acquainted and made
more friends.
The life of great many people
is work, eat, sleep the same old
round day after day. The monotony
wears a man out faster than the
actual toll. The human body needs
a certain amount of variety to keep
it at Its best.
There is no doubt that daylight
saving helps create variety in
daily life for a great many hard
W working people. The plan should
be made permanent 1t has pleased
all classes of people, except possibly
hose that have artificial light to
sell.

Women in War Work

Secretary McAdoo has designated d
October S as Women in War Work
Day.
Millions of women in the United
States are engaged in war work.
Seven hundred thousand serve as
active workers in the organization
of the National Woman's Liberty
Loan committees. Seventy thous-
and women are employed Oh the
railroads. Hundreds of thousands
of women are laboring in the muni-
ton factories. Other hundreds of
thousands serve in clerical work d.
rectly related to the war. AS many
more are engaged 10 the Red Cross
and other activities for the ameli-
Grafton OF war conditions.
The women of America are doing
their share in the winning of the
war, both by actual work and by
the tremendous force of their moral
influence. 1t is fitting that their
service should be memorialized,
and Saturday, October S, has been
designated for observation ia the
Fourth Liberty Loan campaign as
Women in War Work Day"

We Must be Sure

We are warned to be prepared to
resist a peace offensive. The Ger
mans are beginning to talk more
humbly. They will doubtless, soon
be pleading for mercy. Then is the
time that many among the allies,
weary of war, NAV be inclined to
yield. But we believe the soldiers
will be determined to fight OH until
autocracy is overthrown. When
the military power is thoroughly
defeated and ready to give up its
unholy ambition, its arrogance and
desire for war. then and only then
can we safely trust them. Even
then we must make such arrange
ments that it will be impossible
for these men to maintain any
large body of soldiers The Globe
Democrat says:
America must stand firm when
this peace offensive develops. 1t
must stop its ears to the monkly
vows of the sick devil. remember
ing his proverbial proclivities when
he is well. Germany shows no evi
dence of contrition of heart; Its
sorrow is entirely worldly. Its
moral sense was long ago lost. Not
an atrocity of this war has been
condemned by any German on any
other score than that ofexpediency

mites" pledge of the. Reichstag be-
came a scrap of paper the moment

peace with Russia appeared. Ger
many is not cured of its cupidity
however much military prospect:
may point the advisability of post

must be made to realize that an az
gressive war does not pay. Not
until it loses what it gained in 1871

war and is deprived of any chanct

SHOP EARLY THIS time
Christmas Buying Should be
"Safe and Sane"

A movement has been started to
get the holiday purchasing season
spread over the months of October.
November aud December. The
Council of National Defence regards
the present customs of holiday buy
ing as a handicap to efficiency.
1t is hoped to get through the
holiday seesob without increasing
the working forces, to confine Christ
mas gifts to useful articles and
presents for children.
If we have the usual Christmas
scrimmase, the store. postal and ex-
press employees will be tremendously
overworked, and must have helpers.
But in these times when most peo-
pie are busy, it is going to be difficult
to get those helpers. And if they
are secured, they are likely to be
taken from essential industries.
Now this whole program can be
carried out if the people will stop
and think about it. The merchants
have no doubt made a useful start
by buying for holiday purposes
m ostly useful goods. Little else
will be sold this year. except of
course that no one wants to cut off
the children from a reasonable
a mount of toys.
Now let everyone else here in
Monroe Cily, begin to-day to think
up, what they are going to give
people for Christmas. Let them
ce ase giving gifts for mere polite,
ness or On the swapping basis, but
just give to few of their nearest
friends. Then let them get busy as
soon as possible and buy their gifts
A great many of them can be de.
liv cred in person by people who
are going from place to place, SO as
to let up on the express companies
and the post office, If people will
do that. Christmas will cease to be
a nightmare for many thousands o.
o verworked people, and the custom
will not interfere with national ef
ficiency.

This situation and the fact that

Gen. Crowder to appeal 20 the dis

Until the classification of the
