Every sick civilian worker means waste of war power. @r Every sick child withdraws an adult from needed work.
 Every case of serious illness in- creases pressure on doctors. nurses ana hospitals.

 Casualty List Announced
 Bv the Press Associations

This plan, of course. means publica- tion of the names a few days later than if they were telegraphed to the papers, but with direct telegraphing out of the question, it furnishes means of nation wide distribution which will place the lists before the public long before most of the papers could re- ceive them by mail from Washington.

 lie information explained tonight 1t will not affect the war departments policy of notifying immediately by tel eeraph the families of men mentioned lin the list. The committees statement said:

TO the Critics Back Home

There are certain patriots back home who
admit that they are willing to support the
army program up to a certain point, but
who insist that they have right to rise
up at any moment with any criticism they
may care to make.
They begin their support with a brick
held in the right hand, looking for the first
chance to let the brick fly.
No such ffty-ffty support is wanted by
the A. 3. F. This is no fifty.ffty war in
any sense. There is no ffty-ffty stuff in
the soul of the soldier who swings over the
top under heavy fire.
Those backbone patriots who do not
intend to go the whole distance with the
A. E. F. with all they've got should never
start at all. They are merely clogging up
the road. They may mean well enough, but
they are not hooked to our kind of war.
There are but two kingdoms ahead-the
kingdom of Liberty and the kingdom Of
Kaiserism.

or e."-Stars and Stripes published in

Ono Wonderful Achievement.

Sixteen hundred thousand American soldiers
are now serving with the colors on foreign soil.
Just what is actually involved in this simp.e an.
nouncement by the chief OF staff of our army is
difficult to explain. 1t is wonderful achieve
ment, composed OF 4 number Of separate but
correlated achievements, each In itself wonder
Under conditions that existed fourteen months
ago six or seven years would have been con-
sumed in getting the force we now have in
France to the scene Of its service. Six months
ago we were told we would soon have half a
million men under arms in Europe This so
eheered the Huns that the great drive of March
was set in motion that victory might be secured
before enough Americans to turn the tide might
be landed. Hindenburg's campaign was we'll
planned, but he underestimated our capacity for
hurrying up. In one month since then 28s000
soldiers have been delivered in France. In Au-
gust more than 2sO,000 were sent across That
means that in these two months more American
troops have landed in France than we sent there
in the first year Of the war. Their equipment and
supplies have gone with them. Nothing in all
history equals this performance, and the mos,
satisfactory thought in connection with 1t all ID
that the boys got there in time.

A sidetracked "peace Drive"

Events along the front line trenches in France
and Flanders have had the effect Of sidetrackng
the German "peace drive" before II could get
under way. The oo-ordination Of a Conference"
of socialists and other pacihsts in Switzerland
with forward push towards Paris was the open
ing move Of this remarkable bit Of strategy. The
kaiser had pulled the trick before, however, and
the Allies were watching him. Ludendorf's
drive on Paris was checked by the American
army, and the refusal Of the British government
to issue passports to delegates intending to visit
Switzerland put stop to the Conference" Since
the middle Of July the Hun has been so COM
petely occupied in trying to keep ahead OF the
Allies steam roller he has had no opportunity to
set in motion any further devices to entrap the
sympathies of misguided peace lovers. Some
whines have been heard from behind his lines,
indicative OF the disappointment that is heavy
over the councils of the kaiser, but his beautiful
vision Of another diplomatic triumph, together
with military success. has been disspated.

Tribute to Sam Gonapers

Whatever questions may have been raised
in the past of Samuel sGompers' stand upon
domestic questions, there can be few men in
the United States who will not echo what
Lloyd George, the British premier, said of
him yesterday in as distinguished an assem-
bly, as London could muster.
mo one" said Mr.. Lloyd George, "has
done more than Mr.. Gompers to convince
the civilized world" that Germany must be
beaten; and specifically that victory in this
war means more for those who earn their
bread by the sweat Of their brow than for
any other class" He who spoke has the
right of one raised by energy and merit from
humble circumstances to high place to speak
for labor. He who listened had deserved
the tribute.
Among the big factors which are swinging
the war against the rule-or-run clique in the
Berlin war party, not the least is the fact
that, when the conflict was treacherously
brought on for the loot of half the world. the
president OF the American Federation Of La
Dor was not bolshevik or one tainted with
the doctrines of the /. w. w., but strong
and brilliant champion of true democracy

Correcting a Diplomatic Blunder.

The United States is to mediate between
Nicaragua and Honduras, in the interest OF peace
between those touchy neighbors, and is thereby
offered an opportunity to correct diplomatic
blunder.
Planning for defense of the Panama canal as
we'll as to protect the future of American con-
Germs, It was found necessary to secure naval
bases on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
north OF the canal termini. On the east this was
located on the Corn islands, which were acquired
with little trouble On the west the base Is stu-
ated on the Bay Of Fonseca. While the area ac-
tuaily obtained is wholly within Nicaraguan ter
ritory, Honduras and Salvador have control Of
those portions of the bay bordering its entrance.
and, therefore, claim concern in the presence Of
the United States Obtaining control of the So
called Nicaragua canal route also brings Hon
duras into the matter, for the river involved forms
part Of the boundary between Nicaragua and
Honduras.
In negotiating for these rights the United
StatAs dealt only with Nicaragua, as it was held
that no right or privilege of either of the other
countries was involved. Hope had been ex-
pressed that the three small governments might
abe consolidated into one. The people of the
three have not yet responded to such sugges-
ton and have shown decided resentment Of the
action OF the United States. This has gone so
far as to bring an end to the international court,
through which the Ave Central American repub-
lies were operating to maintain peace, result
greatly deplored by the advocates of the plan.
If the United States can avert war between
the Nicaraguan and Honduran government, and
at the same time do something to rectify the
bunder made in the course of establishing the
canal defenses, it will be doing real service to
the cause Of universal international arbitration.
