shortest cut to victory is to hit your hardest
when you're winning. It's all right to ward off
blows, to be on the defensive when the other is
driving at you, but when you've got the upper
hand strike out as if your very existence depend
ed upon that one lick. Thus are overwhelming
victories" won, and thus are foes beaten soundly
and roundy
/ Merely because we are forging ahead in the
war is no reason why one single American should
cut down on his war effort. Rather is that sig
nal for him to increase it, for by so doing ne ar
rives more quickly and more surely upon the days
when he can turn all attention to peaceful pur-
suits.
Victory is not won until the enemy is defeated.
Halfway victory means partial peace, which
will last only until Germany is ready to fight
again.
Halfway effort will bring the aforesaid half
way victory, which in our estimation is no bet
ter than defeat. 1t is defeat!
Therefore, we Americans cannot now indulge
in any halfway effort, in shop, home, field or in
the trenches sa
Keep a-going, and quicken the pace wherever
possible.

THOSE BULGARs

Bulgaria is an accursed disciple OF the Hun.
The Bulgarians are making the occupied parts
of Greece second Belgium.
The rules of war have been swept aside and they
take sort of beastly pride in initiating the vie
style of the Teuton invader.
Hundreds of Greek girls are the paythngs OF
Bulgarian brutes in officers garb.
They have deported thousands into living Hell
of slavery underfed and under LASH
Outrages the Dark Ages seldom saw are Of
daily occurrence Atrocities unspeakable are the
sport of their craven soldiery.
The conduct of Huns and Bulgarians more read
lily associates itself with claws, hair, fangs and
the roar of wild beast than with even the utter
depravity Of man!
The lust Of savage and "demeanor" Of gorilla
seems to sum up the uhleashed Bulgar or Teuton.
When judgment is passed by the allied powers,
Bulgaria will be meted the same severity as Ger
many, and anything Bulgarian will henceforth be
anathema to the civilized nations that today stand
aghast before the crimes of this nation Of butch
eers and beasts.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE NEW DRAFT AGES

The decision Of the war department to recom
mend to congress that the draft age limits bel
placed at 10 and as, instead Of the present limits
of 81 and 80, comes as something Of q surprise.
+ Expert military opinion has strongly favored
including the lower ages, but congress has showed
sentimental disnclination for such action, appar-
emily preferring to escape it by extension to I'M
clude the older men. Secretary Baker, however,
meets the dilemma by grasping both its horns and
recommending radical extension in both direc7
lions. VI .- .sa VI.
There ssno question that young men from Is
to % "a make the best soldiers. Their recup-
erative faculties are the best, their Elasticity UNI
der training and discipline is greatest, and their
ardent spirit is factor Of the greatest import
ance, E
Senator Knute Nelson, who began his own serv-
ice in the civil war at 18, never misses an oppor-
tunity to push the truth home. He called the
attention Of the senate recently to the gallant
exploits Of the marines in France and to the fact
that most of them are lads under 81, who had
volunteered because too young TO be drafted.
n The Civil war has sometimes been called boys,
war because Of the tender age Of SO many o. the
combatants The average age Of the union sol.
diers was certainly under Is and probably near7
er %.
There isanother aspect Of the question. Youths
from Is up can be better spared to fight than old
er men. They have finished their schooling but
have as yet taken on neither family nor business
ties They are at the Threshold Of mature life:
They have notsyet been woven into the business
and social fabric Of their communities.
Besides, the army program contemplates year
of training for these youngsters, SO that none OF
them would see actual fighting before reaching IT,
The recent registration Of those who had attained
their majority since the first registration year
before, is yielding not less than SO per cent Of

|. On the other hand, much smaller percentage
Of elgibles is to be expected from those between
30 and as The intention is to retain the present
classiicatons, and to continue to make all drafts
from class one. Naturally there will be found
comparatively few men over 80 who are without
dependents, who are not needed in essential indus
tries and who are physically acceptable:
| The Importance of securing, enough eligibles
from class one without going into other classes is
lobvious. That is what makes the extension OF
draft ages necessary. Otherwise there would be
serious dislocation, economic and social, to con-
tend with at home. The extension will put at the
disposal of the draft boards . vast reservoir Of
American man power, from which can be drawn

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

In spite of the war and all the additional bur-
dens which it has imposed upon the publishers,
American newspapers are retailing their circu-
lation and advertising at very small advance
over ante-bellum rates Those who have objected
to the very slight increases which have been made
under the spur Of absolute necessity will be in
terested in the following letter from The London
Times, established in 1885, and one Of the worlds
wealthiest newspapers:
Bismarck Tribune, Bismarck N. D.-Fors
some months past we have been mailing you Il
copy Of The Times to the order Of the Brit
,ish foreign office. We are now instructed by
the foreign office to cancel this arrangement.

list, and in order to give you an opportunity
Of entering subscription, we will continue
to mail The Times until we hear from you
one way or the other. The RATE FOR ONE,
YEAR is $24.96, payable in advance. Short
