LET US BE READY.

War casualties among American
troops last week were a third larger
than for the previous Week-than
for any preceding week, in fact. The
total was 7OS, and the combined
American losses since this country
entered the war reached ,O%5.
But England's casualties for the
week were almost 10000. Last
month that country had about $780,
600 men killed, wounded and captur-
ed or among the missing. The Brit
ish losses Of May were even larger.
So it will be seen that we have as
yet scarcely tasted the bitterness, of
our army thus far has not borne the
shock OF main assault. The Brit
ish losses we're sustained in Ger
many's terrific efforts at breaking
through the western front-an un-
dertaking which cost the foe even
heavier casualties than England ex-
perienced in beating back the
charge.
Our time will come, unhappily. The
nation must be prepared for it. The
news from the front indicates that
Gen. Foch considers America suffi-
GENTLY we'll represented along the
western line to take full share in
the stemming of the next German
offensive. 1t is even limited that the
EuI0HlS allies dllu AlucllCd Will oOOh
begin a movement against the
enemy's position. In either case, our
own sacrifices will mount up to pro-
portions equalling some of the ex-
periences which England and France
have gone through in recent months.
Let us bear this in mind. Let us
prepare now for the sore trial which
is coming. We cannot be spared
this, if we do our full part in the
awful struggle for the supremacy OF
the earth. One hears scarcely a
word of complaint from ENGLAND;
one hears little from France of her
griefs. They are bearing their sor-
rows with that courage so necessary
in continuing a great task whose
faithful discharge must be fraught
with ever increased suffering.
1t will be our turn ere long to
the quality of our ma
tional courage We have been We e.
fight to the end. Let us prove our
by the fortitude with
which we endure to the end.

When you stop to think that this
war came upon us without an army
and 1--WE are told) without a navy,
and we know that we have 100000
men in France, the best navy in the
world, nearly the largest transport
and merchant fleet, and surely have
the largest of everything, and all in
dications of the aircraft investiga-
ton being a glorious chapter in
United States history and everything
about the war conducted so very
efficiently, doesn't it make you take
little pride? Don't YOU. fellows
that are opposed to the Wilson ad-
ministration feel a little ashamed?
Oh! boy, no party, no president, no
government ever conducted so gil
gantic a war, SO completely nor SO
successfully, SO free from graft and
so sure of victory as has Wilson and
his democratic administration

OF ONE MIND.

Judging from the newspaper COM
ments, President Wilson'S Mount
Vernon speech is accepted in the
same spirit throughout all the coun-
tries at war with Germany. IN n:
acclaimed in almost the identical
phrases in which it is acclaimed in
the United States.
Nor is there any failure to under
stand and appreciate the full signi-
ficance of the Presidents words.
Mr.. Wilson has closed the door on
relates to the vital issues Of the war.
This is done not inferentially, but di-
These great objects can be put in
to single sentence. What we seek
is the reign of law, based unon the
consent of the governed and sus..
tanned by the organized opinion OF
be achieved by debating and seeking
to reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their pro.
jects for balances of power and of
national opportunity. They can be
realized only by determination OF
what, the. thinking peoples OF the
for justice and for social freedom
and opportunity.
These words are susceptible OF
only one meaning, which is that be.
fore there can be any discussion or
peace with Germany there must be
a formal acceptance on Germany
enduring peace can be established.
Yet we hear no criticism of the
Presidents speech from any of the
groups that have heretofore been so
, insistent that the Allies must go
rather more than half way IN meet
ing any proposals that Germany
4 unity of mind has been estab-
lished among the nations at war
with Germany which is even more
remarkable titan their military or
financial unity. Their moral nur-
poses have been pooled even more
effectively than their armies, 4seir
merely that they have one .,: onlnloa n
Germany's guilt, but that they have
one opinion about the future as we'll
as about the past. They know what
they are fighting against, but they
also know what kind of peace they
are fighting for, and in neither re-
spect is there a clash or counsel "r

P Presid af g Wilson. He gave express
sion to it's basic principles and made
himself it's most persuasive spokes-
man. In every successive public ut.
terance on the aims and objects OF
the war he has knitted the free, PEG,
piles into closer union of thought. and
action. That in itself is an achieve
ment for which there is virtually no
s Sin e Of mind and purpose can
not be exaggerated. Its effect is felt
no less on the firing line than in
parliaments. 1t has brought new
hope and courage and determination
to all the Allies. That is why they
are fighting with a confidence and
have previously known in any other
period of the war,-New York World.

PEACE HINTS FROM GERMANY.

Count Won Hertling says the Ger
mans are ready to hear peace oHers
from the allied countries, but at the
same time intimates that Germany
position now is the same as that
which was outlined in reply to Pope
Benedict's note. This may be the Inc
has been predicted, and against
which there has been warning.
Peace now would be victory for
Germany. tits true that she Will
not have penetrated through BEL
GUM to Paris and will not nave
Wrested her seaports from England,
but she will have. extended her ter
achieved her middle European plan.
said Mr. Frank H. Simonds in last
Saturdays letter in The News-Press,
will be a real peace proposal, a
prefer of peace on reasonable or
possible terms, while the German
army is unconquered, because all
peace proposals will be controlled by
those who control the German army.
Therefore, all proposals must be met
as attacks by the enemy, not as any
thing else"
whatever that the war has made
upon Prussia the impression which
President Wilson, with the assent OF
the allied governments, has declared
to be a prerequisite of peace nego-
tiations. The allied governments
have no confidence in the sincerity
of Berlin. Germany's entire conduct
since the invasion of Belgium has
been an unbroken record for ins1n-
cerity. Nor IL there any such ind1-
cation on the part of the German
people that they have awa 49,. g q
