Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-04-10

this showing of the part Iowa is play
ing at the commencement Of our seri-
Gus participation in the war out OF
any spirit of vainglory. 1t is particu-
larly noteworthy that Iowa should
lead, because the general accusation
of apathy leveled against the middle
west has been specifically directed at
Iowa possibly more frequently than at
any other state.
Furthermore, the liberality with
which the French government has
bestowed medals for heroism upon
men from the old Third Iowa indicates
that the National Guard in action is
quite different body Of men from
the descriptions of it which used to
appear with such unfailing regulari-
ty couple of years ago. If the Ger
mans took at their face value all the
old inveighments against the National
Guard they must have been woefully
disillusioned when they launched their
attack upon the Rainbow division near
Luneville.
The theory that the National
Guard was worthless was universally
entertained in German military cir
cles long before the war broke out,

anticipation Of American forces

participation Of American forces"
1t Is hard to believe that General
Wood. and those who talk as he does
are not bent deliberately on creating
wrong Impressions with people who
are not in position to know the facts,
and because we do not have 100000
men in arms and on the European
line, to discredit our whole national
policy.
The American people can no more
eat their cake and keep it than any
other people. They can supply Eng
land and France and can get mil
lion and half men on the western
line this year. Those men are in
training and will be ready. Moreover
the shipping will be ready, and the
airplanes will be ready. To mini
mize all that and make it appear as
nothing is surely not the part Of pa
triotism, nor is it calculated to help
England nor France in the desperate
straits they are in.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-04-10

and that belief was of course strength
ened by the attitude toward the guard
in America. 1t was shattered on the
morning of March 5th, when the first
shock of battle was sustained by the
One Hundred Sixty-eighth regiment,
and the Iowa men met an attack on
three sides with steady resistance
which sent the enemy back to his
trenches with loss Of 100 men, re-
suited in the death of fifteen Iowa
boys and won the French cross of war
Lieutenant Colonel FINLEY and ten
others Of the regiment.
American soldiers in France will
fight like Americans. They will not
vary in efficiency; according to mem
bership in any particular branch Of
the service. Nobody will be able to
distinguish the difference in fighting
quality between the regulars and
guardsmen, or between the volunteers
of any unit and the men who are Sc
lected under the draft law.
Iowa will not continue to furnish
one-fifth Of the total casualties of
the nation, nor to win a dispropor-
tionate number of the war crosses,
but the leadership which this state

MAKE RIGHT THE LAW.

Germany has once more said that
force, and force alone, shall decide
whether justice and peace shall reign
in the affairs Of men, whether right
as America conceives it or dominion
as she conceives it shall determine the
destinies Of mankind.
There is, therefore, but one re-
Spouse possible for us:sss
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world, and
cast every selfish dominion down in

IOWA FURNISHES A FIFTH.

(Des MONIES Reg1ster.)
Up to March 22nd the American
army in France had lost 1856 men
killed in action or died of wounds.
Thirty-four of these men were
from the state of Iowa
This means that Iowa. with 2 per
cent of the population Of the United
States, has furnished 1873 per cent.
Of the fatal casualties in the Ameri-
can army since the beginning of the
war And it will be recalled that an
Iowa man, Merle Hay, was included in
the trio of American soldiers killed in
the first conflict.
There is also more than passing in
terest in the fact that out of twenty
five war crosses awarded to American
soldiers by the French government,
eleven were presented to men from the
Iowa National Guard.

IRELAND AGAIN A STORM CENTER.

Yesterday Lloyd George made the
boldest move of his life by proposing
home rule for Ireland and the extern
sion of CONSUMPTION to that country
About the time the war commenced
home rule for Ireland became the
statute law of Great Britain, but the
taking effect of the home rule statute
was held UP by the British cabinet.
The right of the Irish people to home
rule was won after a long struggle,
covering period of many years, and
the suspension of the taking effect of
the act tended to exasperate them,
Lloyd Georges attempt at this late
day to correct the mistake that was
made, when Ireland's rights under the
law We're withheld, does not seem like
ly to correct or make good all the
damage caused by the mistake. 1t
was a serious mistake for English
cabinet officers to keep the old Irish
quarrel alive at a time when the Huns
were knocking at their country's gates.
The English people that gave home
rule to Ireland may drive that cabinet
out of power. But no matter what
grievance the home rule party may
have, it's members should not strike
at the heart of England through the
soul of their own country
If England stands, ireland stands;
America stands; if England falls, Ire
land falls; America falls; victory and
honor or defeat and dishonor shall
come upon us all alike. The crucifier
Of Belgium is demanding more VIC
Tins
May the Great Power shat shapes
the destinies Of nations hep Ireland
to waive past grievances and join with
Lloyd George in protecting the de-
mocracies of the world from extefmi-
nation.

LET Us BE REASONABLE.

(Des MOlneS Reg1ster).
It is hard to speak with entire pa
thence of the demand of General Wood
that 100000 men be at once drawn
into the training camp.
Let any reader of The Register stop
to consider precisely what that would
mean. It would mean enormous with
drawal of the workers from every line
of industry. 1t would mean an enor-
NOUS demand upon the labor that
was left to enlarge environments to
hold them. 1t would mean an enor-
nous demand upon the labor that
was left to feed and equip them.
And all the while the real call up
on this country has been to rush sup
plies to Europe
What do General Wood and those
who talk as he does expect of the
United States? Do they expect that
we can meet the demand of England
for 65 per cent of the food now being
consumed, and of France for an equal
percentage, the demand of all the al
lied powers for money, munitions and
supplies; can we build boats to meet
the submarine campaign and still
keep commerce moving, can we turn
our railroads and shops over to for
eign demand, and still call from the
ranks of the workers the biggest army
in one year one people ever muster
ed? ...
The situation as it is seen in Wash
ington is thus set forth by David
Lawrence, and any reader can see
that the Washington view is the cor
rect view
"In order not merely to take away
another two million men from their
civilian occupations but to divert
enough men to keep such an army
supplied and equipped, the United
States would have to interrupt her
supplies to the allies. Unquestion-
ably the United States could raise an
army of five million men if she were
in the war alone, but the needs OF
the allies are paramount, and since
there is not tonnage enough to carry
an army of five million across in less
than three years at the outside the
value of keeping men in training who
could be more useful to war indus
tries doesn't appeal very much to
the administration upon whom rests
the responsibility for effective CO.
operation with the allies as perhaps
even more important than actual

obscures or tends to make anything

Governor Harding opened the Third
Liberty Loan Campaign in Dubuque

with sharp points, from which the fol-
lowing selections have been made:
What July 4th is to America, April

'The time, almost to the hour, for
the opening of this war was fixed by
to set the hour for it's close"

sion that the retired farmer must go
back to work. When farmer re-

During the past week the Germans
have continued their attacks. as a
rule their, attacks have failed, and in
many instances their losses have been
very large. Yesterday they made
their first gain of any consequence,
and that was only at one point in the
line. At all other points they were
hurled back.
It begins to look as though the pres
ent battle will be repetition of the
battle of Verdun, only on larger
scale

Indians of Chile.

The Araucanians are the primitive
race OF Chile, and one of the finest
OF all the American Indian tribes. Al
though the rGmaining Indians are
wards of IIC government not unlike
those III t1Is country, the tribe is said
never to have been formally conquered.
Furthermore, the blood of the Arauca-
mans Is widely disseminated and gives

NATIONAL PROHIBITION CERTAIN

Congress submitted national pro-

has acted adversely. And among the

THE PRICE OF SHAMEFUL PEACE

public the following:
More than a billion dollars Of
American agricultural exports were
sold to the European nations at war
with Germany during 1917 Had this
Nation maintained peace at the price
of obedience to the German war zone
decree this European market would
have been closed and this billion dol
lars worth of agricultural products
would, most of them, have rotted on
farms and in warehouses, or been
used in improbable ways, with con-
sequent stagnation and ruin to the
farmers

support to his Government in this
