The Kaiser can have no hope
of gaining the mastery of the
seas, so that even if his armies
overrun France and Italy, how
does he expect to conquer Eng
land and the United States?
This is easily answered. He
expects them to quit. AS re-
cent editorial in one of our pop
.ular periodicals states, HE
hopes there is enough laziness
and selfishness and cowardice
in the people of these countries
TO give the game into his hands.
He thinks they will get tired of
fighting. He thinks they can
not stand the self denial it will
take to win.

resent having their profits and
pleasures interfered with, their

italist who forestalls as much

man who will not buy a Liberty
Bond when he can get 8 per
cent on a mortgage, and the
labor leader and wage Garner
who will strike even against
the Government. To this we
may add, "He also relies on the
farmers who will not plant
wheat because some other less
essential crop is more profita-
ble." There are undoubtedly a
few farmers who, because they
think they have not been treat
ed fairly in the matter of price,
have worked themselves up to
such a state of self pity, and
feel themselves so abused, that
they are ready to quit. The
thing to do with such men is to
