Lookin to that last streak OF light

Lots of makin's and buckets of suds,

new u. 5. TRACTOR
Stands HARD TEST
FWe-Ion Caterpillar Type Ridden
BY Secretary Baker.

Witnessed by the Secretary OF War,
Chief Of Stan. military attaches of
allied and neutral nations and mem
bers OF Congress. a new American
development of an artillery tractor
yesterday afternoon climbed a g Der
cent grade in Rock Creek Park, now
ing down trees. crushing rocks,
bridging bitches. and in general out
doing even the feats Of a British
tank. all the while dragging its 1o.eoo
pound burden OF n "a gun.
This was a test OF a J-ton tractor,
caterpillar type. the first Of the group
OF military tractors designed by ex-
perts OF the Ordnance Department
for use with the American Expedition
ary Forces. The try-out was made
under various conditions in the bad
lands Of Rock Creek. to simulate the
actual war conditions of battle
broken terrain. and the results were
said TO be thoroughly satisfactory
Secretary Baker rode the tractor
through part OF the test.
MotoriZation of field artillery, Il is
said will be carried out to a greater
extent with the American army than
with any army now engaged IN the
war. This not only will save ton
mage In transporting horses and fod-
der for them, which is Of great bulk,
but will give greater speed and mo-
bility 10 American arms in offensives
All American artillery is TO be mo-
torized except the heaviest field ar
tillery mounted on railroad carriages
and the 3-inch batteries. and even
some OF these will be mOtor-drawn.

Our Little Patriots.

Most every schoolehild in America is men,
Der Of the thrift stamp army. They are trying
to help their big brothers "over there" win the
war by providing the money with which the gov
ernment may buy guns, food and ammunition for
our fighters.
These little boys and girls are enrolled a.
privates in the thrift stamp army when they have
sold certain number Of stamps and are promoted
as their sales mount upward. They are encouraged
to 90 from house to house and to consider every
American as possible customer. This is fine for
the youngsters 1t teaches them salesmanship and
it enables them to help with the nations war work.
They will ring many doorbell in their quest
for thrift stamp customers. And days will come
when many a housewife will go several times to
her front door to meet these youthful patriots.
Many a person will be asked over and over again,
Mister do you want to buy thrift stamp?"
1t may grow tiresome to answer the often re-
peated question 1t may often interfere with ones
household duties. But-let never forget that the
children are doing this for their country and yours
not for profit! If we must refuse to purchase a
stamp-and we cannot buy from all, much as we
would like to, let our answers be kindly, given
with a smiling appreciation of the childrens efforts
forts.
Thus will we encourage them
They are miniature editions of fine American
ism. Treat them so.

bound in duty to render unuuestion-
ing obedience to Congress"
There Is ample Justification in the
above paragraph for the course
honest. patriotic men have taken in
bringing constructive criticism to
bear upon the government to cor
rect grave faults in war manage
ment. There is abundant justifi-
cation for taking a course which
may not at all times make a mem
ber of Congress conform to the ad-
ministration idea OF rubber
stamp" Senator.
But after all. even before the war
came on how ridiculous to state
that President Wilson has rendered
''unquestioning obedience" to Con-
gress. He has. in fact, demanded
the unquestioning obedience of Con-
gress to him. Bills he wanted r3t
through he has demanded that all
men support and that the measures
be put through as he wanted them.
This has not prevailed in the main,
by any means. for the measures
have been considerably altered-but
this was not because the President
wanted it so.) While measures
which members had the temerity to
introduce without the consent first
of the President, the administration
leaders in Congress have at once
asked, what does the President
think about this legislation? Does
he want it to be passed."
The fact that the President has
stood for some very meritorious
legislation in general principle. has
made the people look with pleasure
upon his prodding of Congress. The
people. in the main. have been with
him and against Congress when
ever a grave dispute between the
President and Congress arose over
dealing with some Of our great
problems. And this may be said
to have been true even in some
cases when it was shown that the
Presidents suggested legislation
was not as effective as it needed
to be.

End Comes with Victory.

From time to time we will make note OF such
war protests as come to our attention, not be-
believe that any large number of Ameri-
in sympathy with such professors. but
because think that these protests launched
by enemies in our land and by them nourished and
fed to Americans citizens who do not mentally
dig to the root of their protests.
Among these pro-German and entirely anti
American protests is this:
AS soon as we get through with
liberty loan drive they want money for the
Red Cross and war chests, and then they
start thrift stamp campaigns. Why don't
they give us breathing spell in between!
Without doubt some helish Hun soul cooked
up that protest. And this is why: The less money
Americans can be persuaded to lend in bond and
stamp campaigns the fewer guns and soldiers
be placed against German aggression "over there"
the less money give to Red Cross the more
American, British and French soldiers will die on
battlehclds.
OF course it is true: Americans are urged from
money-producing campaign to another, and
there is little time between them. They will come
faster and faster right along from now until the
foe is vanquished. Just past this
thrift stamp drive must begin saving dollars
ior the next liberty bond campaign, and again Red
Cross and other wn-the-war drives. We cannot
sit down and say that through-not until
horde back beyond the Rhine and beaten the
Kaiser into submission and his power lust into
oblivion.
Our boys who have gone "over there" and the
millions who yet go will be able to throw
down their guns after battle and take prolonged
breathing spell. The enemy will not let them do
that. Their foes and yours will harass our boys
day and night, early and late, with shell and gas
and bayonet The boys send to France
soldiers too brave and too we'll trained to har-
Dor one thought Of protest, though they are
sent over the top again and again.
Shall we who stay in safety and case here at
lome complain more than they who hourly for
lays without number face death. Shall we pro-
:cst and beg longer breathing spell' between
trives to produce money long "over
here" must stand in peril and must daily
endure hardshps utterly unfathomablc to us
civilians.
Let our drives come when they mayl Let

The U-Boat "Blu&. /"

Germany is aiming to slow up the sending of
American troops abroad at an hour when she is
beginning to the handwriting the wall.
Her submarine threat against the United States
is nothing less than her cmacteric attempt to keep
the nation from becoming the determining factor in
the
She hopes to scare the nation and to dsarrange
our transport program. knowing full well the re-
markable speeding up" of Transporting OF
armed forces to France, she is aiming to retard
and even to block the blow which she knows must
come, and come even sooner than her enemies had
expected.
This is her supreme hour of destiny in the war.
If she delay the coming OF American aid to
the allied sixty ninety days. she be-
lieves she have fair chance of reaching de-
cision this year in the West But her general staff
knows that. at the present rate of transportation,
American divisions will wipe out her numerical su-
periority in the war within the months.
That is why she has made this bold attempt to
demoralize shipping. She will not succeed.
She cannot sustain really effective submarine
fare on this side of the Atlantic in mid
Atlantic. The sensation of yesterday is merely a
characteristic German raid, whose real blow is
pointed at American morale and American plans,
rather than on any logical plan for terrorzing
shipping. There many remarkable things that
the Boche has learned how to do, but continuing
effective submarine warfare 5000 miles from home
is not enc Of them.
Within few days we expect to hear that the
nest of this group of U-boats has been discovered,
If it has any; least that the submarines have
been chased out into the Atlantic and off the
shipping lanes. Undoubtedly the conveys of
transports will have be even larger than in the
past, for no chances can be taken.
But there is chance whatsoever that the pro-
gram OF troop movements abroad will be changed
by single hour that America will modify the
program OF participation in the Battle for Paris"
that Destiny has marked out for her.

striking the surface 1t turned over OH
