AUX Armes, Citoyensl"

There could me no greater mis-
take, no more monstrous treason,
than to slacken in the least our
utmost efforts to push the campaign
with every attainable man and gun.
Splendid as is the achievement at the
Marine, 1t has not won the war. It has
not even definitely turned the tide.
1t has simply shown us what we can
DO If we ever get fully into the war.
1t has simply demonstrated to us the
need of more men, more guns, more
airplanesP more munitions.
Are the Hunnish armies checked
in their latest drive? Then the check
should be made a defeat Are they
defeated? Then the defeat should be
made retreat. Are they retreating?
Then the retreat should be made a
rout. Are they routed? Then in God S
name and Democracy's, make the
route annihilation! This is no time
for hesitance, for watchful waiting,
for looking for something to turn
up that will make it unnecessary to
send another million men across the
seas. 1t is rather a time to grid up
our loins and press on and on, lest
these dead shall have died in vain"
and our first battle be sacrificed to
the gods of procrastination and pa
cifism.-North American Reviews S

LIGHTS FOR WAGONS
|. HARRISBURG automobile was

A HARRISBURG automobile was
"A broken and a farm wagon
- smashed the other day as the
result of an accident due to the fact
that the farm wagon carried no
lights on very dark night. Every
vehicle on the roads ought to be re-
quired to carry illumination sufficient
to notify other users of the highways
of its presence. The next Legislature
should enact such law.
Heretofore legislation of the kind
has been blocked by the efforts of
the farmers, but the time has come
when more automobiles are owned
in the country than in the cities and
these old and foolish objections
should no longer prevail. The farm
er who declines to light his carriage
or wagon is not only endangering
the automobilist but himself and
his own property as well, for the
horse-drawn vehicle invariably suf-
fers most from an encounter with
a heavy gas-driven car, and the
chances of the occupants escaping
uninjured are. few.
