WHY NOT END THE WAR?

Most people say they wish the war
was over. Well, then, why not end
it? Why not end it by making war
efficiently, unitedly, whole-heartedly :?
People have got it into their heads
that war is made only by Washing
ton. They listen to the never ceas-
ing stream of gossip that flows from
the capital and wisely talk of how
we'll or how i'll war is being made
there. Everybody is eager to help
if he can get government job (even
at 81 a year, or a definite commits
sion with the Red Gross or the Y.
NJ C. A, or a uniform of any kind.
If he can't if he is tied to business
and private life and no khaki, he
seems inclined to let George at Wash
ington do the war-making.
But we will never beat Germany
until we fight as hard as Germany,
save as much and eat as little as she
does. And we must not wait for the
command to come from someone in
Washington. The nation, the whole
embattled nation will be in the fight
when, for example, we hear of a pc
tion from a million motor car own
SIS SOlIS W
that they be given gasoline cards
and be put on reasonable allow
ance of the fluid that is precious on
our battleline in France. Every mo-
tor owner knows today that he is US
ing too much gasoline. Why not
stop it? France has stopped it. So
has England. A few luxurious and
ingenious people in London drive
their cars by Illuminating gas, and
the huge gas-bags on the top of the
limousine bodies look like a giants
family wash being taken to the laun-
dry. But most Londoners manage
with the public conveyances, and they
get along. They go to their busi-
ness and they even go to the thea
ters-be it said in greater numbers
than at this moment of theatrical
depression go here in America. Life,
it may safely be claimed, is possible
without gasoline. There are people
