FACING GRIM FACTS.

So the German Grown Prince ad- mits that our American soldiers are first class fighting men, but then he spells the compliment with the charge that they don't know what they are fighting for. Well. perhaps they will learn in time. and it ought not take very long, because of their being in close contact with the enemy and in close communion with the unhappy peoples of Belgium and France. It is to be assumed that the average American soldier is fairly intelligent, and that. when not solely occupied with the order of the day, is employ. ing his facilities of observation to good advantage. The French and Bel. gans and British undoubtedly know what they are fighting for. and our men will probably be able to figure cut good reason before long.
 Meanwhile the grand march to the Rhine is under way and seems to
 
 during the past few weeks. Thanks to the magnificent maneuvering of his splendid armies. Marshal Foch fin ally has the Hun on the run. How fast and how far he will be able to drive him this summer Is purely matter Of speculation. There are cer- tain optimistic persons who expect to see the war end by the close of the year. IL doesn't seem possible. Then the sentiment is spreading that the struggle will come to d decision some time next summer. That is possible, but to acc mplish it We Americans are up against the most trying year of our experience. As a whole people we have yet pay the price that will entitlc us l. a respectable share in the rev. rd lat will come with vic tory. War it's compensations. no less th21 pc ce. but they must be earned
 So we nigh as well prepare for the worst. t { we shall not ultimate ly win.

This thought is in no sense colored with pessimism - it simply confronts us with the unvarnished truth of the situation ahead.

Our people will be forced to undergo hard ship and prvation in order that this mighty giant we call America, by strainng every nerve and muscle, may at last achieve a world victory. That victory will come, but it will be at the expense of every energy, every power we and our allies can muster

II must suffice merely to say that the
need for feverish haste was so urgent
that Mr. Schwab took the first boat back
to the United States in order to speed up
production without counting cost.
The miracles Schwab then and has
since wrought constitute a chapter with

world war.

without It, nothing can get done. For publicity; or
advertising, Is the art of making known something
of importance or general interest
The government once more has had to take
leaf out of the business mans book and learn to
advertise. No business enterprise of any size
can exist without publicity as a means of getting
into touch with peoples minds and needs and
purses. No single idea can bear any fruit until by
publicity it has pemeated the intelligence of vast
numbers of thinking folk
