SUBSCRIPTION RATES
NO DANGER THERE

- ONE timid souls express
the fear that government
control of the telegraph
and telephones will impose a
censorship on the press. The
best answer is that government
control of the mails, in vogue
for lao years, has not produced
such results. The press uses
the mail more than it does the
wire. If it has done this from
the time the republic was form
ed until the present date with
out having the government
seek to control public opin-
ion" or exercise any sort of ty-
rannical control why borrow
trouble over wire control?

MANPOWER, AIRCRAFT,
ARTILLERY

~ ERMANY is reputed to
VI have approximately e.
100000 fighting men on
the western front. At the rate
we are now sending men across
it will not be many months I'M
til the United States will equal
the German manpewer, if one
judges by indications. How
ever, there is nothing to show
that the kaiser's two and a half
million on the west front in
cludes all the men he can mus
ter. Very probably there are
as many more Hun soldiers who
can be assembled in the west if
necessary. 1t must be borne in
mind that until very recently
the kaiser equalled the allied
manpower in the west, if he did
not exceed it. So Germany has
probably not as yet gone to the
limit in mastering men to op-
pose the Foch armies.
The facts justify the policy
of augmenting the allied force
as swiftly as possible and the
plan to enlarge the American
strength by extending the draft
ages both upwards and down.
If we are to have a long war
the new men will be needed, if
the war proves brief so much
the better for all concerned.
The new men will not suffer
through being inducted into the
service. They-will be the bene-
ficIaries and this is a truth
that will be verified by the fu-
ture.
AT present, however, it may
be surmized that the govern
ment feels the manpower SUBJ
iect is no as pressing as it
might be. OF vital Importance
is the matter of getting our air
force built up to a point where
it dan sweep the skies of enemy
scouts and fighters. OF equal
importance is the matter of
Strengthening our artillery,
with. gas shells and siege shells,
so 1t will be fully ready to play
its part in the big game. Man
power, aircraft and artillery
are the three factors that will
win the war. The more bal
anced this strength the better.
Very probably this is the view
of Secretary Baker and ac-
counts for the fact he is wait
ing until fall before pressing
the extension of the draft age. |
