party organizations will be assisted by
national party organisations, and the
result at the polls win possess national
import.
The war has not banished pslitics
properly so-ealled. We have politics
with us today, as vigorous, as de-
termined, as frankly confessed q b.
fore the war began. That is repub-
ican convention to be held in Maine
Later, the democrats will hold one. The
three senatorial candidates in Wiscon-
sin are party men, nominated as such.
This is right Let us all rejoice in
it. Whatever We have accomplished as
a people has been through party agency.
Our leaders have been party men. Our
leaders of today are distinctly party
men. Mr.. Wilson, although President, is
none the less the leader of the party
which elected him to the Office.
We are squaring off for a straight
party contest for control of the next
Congress. Candidates are announcing
under party banners, and party COM
mittees are preparing to take charge
of the canvasses. And two years hence
we shall be squaring off for a straight
party contest for the presidency.
The stronger our polities-the more
carefully watched and cultivated-the
better government we have. We should
always have the best brand of both.
Good men everywhere should be encour-
aged to action in the political field
to stand for Office, or when not candi-
dates themselves to bestir themselves
in behalf of good men who are.
We have, and should have, politics al
ways with us. 1t is healthy sign
the sign of health-when the primaries
are as full of ginger as the regular cam
paigns which follow; when subscrip
tons are liberal; when stumpers are
numerous and crowds to hear them
large, and when the figures at the polls
show there was lively general interest
in what was going on.

Ttanes, whore hs, held eommunisn with
the men, French, English and American,
who are conducting operations on the
western front. He knows the situation
there. Everything has been explained
to him by those who have set the squad
rons in the field. So that he is speak
ing by the card, so to say-speaking for
those who have arranged the card, as
we'll as for himself.
Congress for a long time gave no
heed to men of Woods stamp and
training. They made their reeommen-
datiens to their superiors, who in turn
transmitted them to Congress, or ig-
nored them. Nothing came of them.
We droned and drooled along as if ap-
preaching or entering the millennium.
No more wars. Peace and good will on
earth to the end of the chapter.
All this time the world stage was be-
ing set for a war which for size and
destructiveness was to dwarf all pre-
vious struggles in the worlds history.
And when it broke we were as helpless
rs could be. Moreover, We undertook to
comfort ourselves with the thought that
the appalling eonfagration could not
possibly spread to us; that the Atlantic
ocean would necessarily be its western
boundary
Then, in a moment. the eonfiagration
leaped the sea; and since then we have
been feyerishly trying to crowd the
work of years into months. This ex-
plains the blunders that have been made.
and the lack of progress. Hades to pay,
and no pitch hot and ready.
There is no doubt that Congress is
alive to the existing situation, and wants
to meet it. Hence the importance of
calling Gen. Wood to the stand, and the
advisability of digesting his recon-
mendatious

The Third Liberty Loan.

Secretary McAdoo's announcement of
the terms of the third liberty loan con-
tains two surprises, first in the interest
rate proposed and second in the mini
mum figure named. 5000 100000. A
new element is also added in the state
ment that the new bonds will not carry
the convertible privilege, which indi-
Gates that the process of conversion to
stopped. The rate of Al per cent is
slightly lower than that which had been
expected. but the addition of one-quarter
of per cent makes the loan more at
tractive, doubtless sufficiently so to in
sure its complete subscription. A new
feature of the third loan will be the
provision for a sinking fund of per
cent during the period of the war and
for one year thereafter to enable the
government to buy the bonds of those
who ind that they are not able to hold
them. This should serve to keep the
bonds at par, or nearly so. The term of
the loan is not fixed. 1t will probably
be determined in the legislation that is
necessary to authorize the AZ per cent
interest rate. Inasmueh as the term of
the second loan vas shortened by FIVE
wears from that of the first there has
been q general expectation that the
third loan would he aJso five Years
shorter, making it twenty years. It is
virtually assured that it will not be as
long rs the second loan, to avoid the
dates of maturity coinciding.

Germany's Westward Drive.

the belief that the German drive will
fail 10 reach its objective and TO bring
10 Germany results Of permanent value,
There are indications which encourage
the belief that the Hun tide is close
upon the high-water mark of its ad-
vance. The allied armies are intact, and
loss Of ground is no reason for loss of
hope Of course, the British have not
yielded ground through choice, but
Through necessity, sometimes because
they have been forced back by superior
weight Of men and gunfre, sometimes
because the maintenance of a position
would not be worth the cost in men re-
duired to hold it and sometimes be-
cause of events on the right or left of
the position it Is prudent to withdraw
from it.
