Now is the time for the people

running till the Rhine is crossed
and complete victory is won.
General March says that America
must speed up instead OF let up
in its war records if the Allied Ar,
mics are expected to continue
their advances at the front. "Do
not let the recent successes made
by the Allies create too sanguiue
hopes and cause the letting up
on war Efforts" says General
March. This is no time to stop
to indulge in hopes and to waste
time arguing as to when the war
will be over, or the kind OF peace
1t will bring. The thing to do
now," be says, "is to put the
maximum punch into every A.
merican effort"
That America shall speed up
at a greater rate than she has
yet done isnow deemed necessary
not only that the Allied Armies
shall continue to fight victorious.
ly, but that the German Army
shall be completely disillusioned,
that is, that the fighting men of
Germany shall know the stuff
that American soldiers are made
OF and the kind of fighting they
can do. The German people are
just beginning to know that they
have been deceived by their lead.
ers and that America is in the
war to win. When they shall
know this in full, the best part of
Germany's fighting strength
ter morale-will be gone and the
greatest barrier to Berlin will be
broken down. Americans should
see that the German people shall
know their strength and purpose
in winning the war as soon as
POSSIBLE. They can do this by
every man standing back OF the
Government, a solid front, until
the war is over.

The Soldiers chaaes.

One OF the foremost physicians
OF the United States says tbat
the solder has 100 chances OF
long life to 100 chances OF long
life to 100 chances the man in
civil life has. The reason is that
the soldier is cared for by skilled
surgeons and not allowed to take
any risks except those of batt'e
and camp life, while the civilian
is beset on all sides by innumer.
able dangers that hurry mortals
home. Even tuberculosis is less
in the French army now than be.
fore the war, owing largely to
the rigid care that is thrown a.
bout every man. Typhoid fever
has been cut down to less than
three mild cases in a hundred
thousand. Lockjaw, once the
scourge OF the army hospital, has
PRACTICAL disappeared smallpox
il unknown, dysentery, and near.
ly all the maladies that get the
civilian, are conquered. Wounds
are amenable to the modern style
OF treatment. Arms and legs aye
not cut off now as they were in
all previous wars. They are sa.
we'd. Hospital surgery tackles
anything, and with surprising
success. The folks at home who
see the boys come back from the
front remark the physical i'm
provement in nearly every man
who went to the army. The
change is a revelation.-News &
