SPEED? WHY, CERTAINLY

~ HE splendidly encourage
VI ing news of our military
accomplishments contin-
ues. Only the other day the
War Department told of the de-
parture of more than a million
men for the European area of
war. Now the same soure of
information announces that a
grand total of 2,170,4 400 is with
the colors, here and abroad;
that more than 2700 Browning
guns were delivered during
May; that more than 100000
rifles had been produced and
delivered up to June z; that we
are making 80 combat airplanes
a week and that over 1000 Lib
erty motors have been deliver
ed and are being turned out at
the rate of 115 a week.
Looking at these fine accom-
plishments, it seems a dream
that only six months ago SEN
ator of the United States pub
Iicly stated in the upper cham
Der of congress that Secretary
Bakers assertion that. before
the end of the year he believed
that there would be 100000
men in France was "exaggera-
ton of the widest Sort; that
the promise was absolutely
preposterous" and that the
whole thing was "a gigantic
bluff on the part of Mr.. Ba-
ker. Where is that gentleman
now? Only IL days more
than half the year have gone,
and more than 100000 men
are already overseas. If that
be bluff" let's have a lot of it

The boys who face the trench

OUR SOLDIERS ALSO ARE A
GREAT HELP

ANNE at home plume our
~ selves much on what we
are doing to win the
war. When we eat a potato
instead of a slice of bread we
think we are doing something.
When we use less sugar than
usual we feel we are serving
the country. Our purchases of
war savings stamps and liberty
bonds and our Red Cross sub
scriptions we view with pride,
even though we don't hurt our
selves by the process.
All this is very well. We are
really helping to win the war.
The war could not be won
without the efforts of the home
folk. But while we boost our
selves and call ourselves gener-
ais and colonels and other
names for doing work that wo-
men could do if they had to,
let us not overlook entirely the
men who are really putting the
thing over.
We at home are an indispens-
able element in the winning of
the war. We can lose the war
through failure to do our part
and we should be ashamed to
falter or complain at our trifl-
ing duties. But wars are won
