4 More Serious Test

It was only day or two ago that two of the most eminent of the German military critics published exhaustive statements, the main object of which was to belittle and make light of the Americans in the great war. Sarcasm was the rampant note ot these statements, and they were laced through and through with tolerant indulg- ence of American statements and indit- ference of American efforts. But retribu- tion was swift. In a battle of considerable magnitude which broke out at dawn Mon day morning, and may well be still raging with undiminished violence, the Americans have met the kaiser's crack storm troops and, so far, fought them to a standstill. It is too soon yet to indulge in boasting. We may vet be beaten But 1t is certain that along wide front, with many thousands ot men engaged, the Americans have made splendid showing in their sectors against major drive. In fact, 1t seemed last night, that the main effort of the Prussian often sive was directed against the Chateau Thierry lines held by the Tanks. Let us not minimize. The Germans seem to have crossed the Marne at some points and threaten a serious advance. But they were surely foiled at other points by American troops, and at one vital spot were actually driven back by a counter attack that netted over 1000 prisoners. The Germans de- clined to take the minor engagements at Cantigny and Chateau Thierry and Belieau Wood. brilliant successes that they were tor our boys. as serious indications of our abil- itv to fight. And the German editors and writers may continue to be sarcastic in their references to the Americans, but the Ger man soldiers will sing another song Tn different key and in more earnest tone.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-16

This columns old friend and critic, Rob ert w. McCourt of Warren, sends in most timely quotation from Bismarck, offering it as an unassailable reason why the allies should not even stop to listen to the latest peace talk from Berlin. Bismarck said: Never discuss terms of peace with an enemy while he Is in possession ot your country. The strength and sagacity ot a great statesman stand out strongly in this sentence. Any nation that will behd and crouch to discuss peace with an invader en- camped upon her soil is ripe to fall. The very act is an open admission of weakness. It invites the most exacting and arrogant terms and the invitation is always accepted. The world has recently witnessed two sam ples of German peace, first discussed while German soldiers were upon the soil ot the duped nations, and one was with Russia and the other with Rumania. The bait was no annexation or indemnity, and the hook was steel claw that brought both. And. after all, the nation servile enough to discuss peace with an invader, gets what 1t deserves. It has always been so, and It always will be. Thank heaven for Lloyd George. a Clemenceau and a Wilson, this triumvirate stand like granite against any German peace.

FROM A WORKER TO WORKERS

A well known eastern newspaper editor who has. for many years, written ot men and things from close range, recently ad- dressed an editorial particularly to workers that seems to be most timely and full or good sense and practical advice. Himself a worker who has, he declares, never missed day from the payroll tor thirty wears, he appeals to workers to take full advantage of the stirring war times and get in every day possible, not alone tor Patrl- otic motives but for more selfish and prac' ticaI reasons of making and saving all pos sible for the proverbial rainy day. lhere was never such demand for labor or such high wages as now he says, but 1t will not always be so. In his editorial he says Tn part:
 Workmen of the United States, use your time well, your intelligence and your strength now. For this is the golden time of high pay and plenty of work. And different time Is coming.
 Every day that you work now, with honest industry, combining reasonable overtime work and economy, will help to make you free from worry, the actual want that may come in little while-after this war ends.
 The man with Easy come, easy go, for his motto will hate himself and his motto before very long.
 These are the days of pouring out Armies are pouring out their blood, nations are pouring out their money.
 Every man is worth for his labor twice what he was before murder became the worlds occupation.
 There are no situation wanted adver- tisemenfs in the newspapers. Everything is help wanted
 It will not be so when this war is over.
 Workers, remember that when the wer ends the ammunition factories will dis charge their people.
 When the war ends millions of soldiers will come from the armies, looking for jobs.
 When the war ends manufacturers and business men in Europe will be employing
