Prospects Of Complete Victory

Russian Revolution started there wasn't
one human being in ten million that
even dreamed Of what was going to
happen TO Russia during 1917 and 1918.
The German people, we know, are dlf-
ferent from the Russian people, and
II the smash comes in Germany before
the Allies cross the Rhine, II probably
won't work out the same way that
things have worked out in Russia. But
another winter is coming on, with the
prospects Of more suffering among the
German people than there has been
since the war started Moreover, this
winter, coming as II will on top OF the
Allies repeated military victories OF
the summer and fall. is not going to
make II any easier for the German peo-
pie TO bear their sufferinss and losses.
But why can't the Allies win nnal
victory this fall?" asked Jimmy.
Because It Is doubtful II they are
strong enough TO crush the German
army sufficiently to force a surrender
or to make the German rulers and mill
tary chiefs beg for peace" said Uncle
Harry. But. what the Allied troops
and our own American troops have
been doing these past weeks is paving
the way for next spring. Marshal Foch
evidently intends to keep on hammer
ing the Germans and driving them
back Just as far as he can before the
winter weather sets in and the fighting
comes to a temporary halt. In the
meanwhile, thousands and thousands
Of more American soldiers are reaching
France. By next spring or early sum
mer our War Department plans to have
about 100000 men on the Western
Front. Germany will probably have
several hundred thousand-possibly a
half q million fresh soldiers-young
men who have just reached the fight
ing age: but what are 10000 men COM

Government-knows very we'll that Il
is between two fires. Every day the
Allies are driving the Germany army
back; and every day the German Gov
ernment realizes that ii is nearer the
day when It will have to explain to the
German people why the army hasn't
won the military victory that it
promised the German people it would
win. So. being in that fix. the Kaiser
and the military chiefs will probably
hold on as long as they can-some con-
siderable time after they realize that
they cannot win.
But by next summer the Allies will
be so far superior to Germany in every
way that military experts I'm general
agree that the German army will be
completely whipped and the German
Government forced to accept tile AL
lies peace terms.

MIR scuooIBoy MISS SCHOOLGIRL STARTING
Would You be Like Lincoln?

OF the litigation in courts is caused
by the use OF uncertain. indefinite,
double-meaning. ambiguous words and
phrases In the writing Of constitutions,
statutes, rules and orders. and con-
tracts-in the use OF improper and in
definite language, oral and written
meaning one thing TO one party, quite
another thing 10 another party.
Commandment a stands for the casual
relation Of things. Lincoln was firsI
last and all the time thinker" In
speaking he was merely telling his
thought on the platform; In writing
he was merely telling his thought Oh
paper.
Reason, clear, candid. calculating
reason, was his master weapon In In
tellectual and moral warfare, whether
as lawyer, orator or statesman. He
FIRST made sure OF his facts and then
proceeded TO make sure OF what those
facts proved or tended TO prove.
A NTH commandment Lincoln gives
the American student, not out OF his
words so much as out OF his work.
He truly and thoroughly believed that
knowledge was valuable only as IL was
useful and, therefore, he proceeded
at an early age to use his knowledge.
A simple statement OF this command
ment would be use your knowledge
by thinking, writing. speaking, In the
simplest and strongest terms OF that
knowledge"
lie was always organizing some liter
airy or debating society.
Nothing could be better for The
American student than to have the old
fashioned literary and debating society
restored 10 teach young America the
idea OF self-government, the art OF
composition and good English, the art
OF reaching and argument In debate.
II was the Lincoln Way.
Last, but not least, our boys and
girls should study and know Ameri-
canlsm, what 70 is, what IL stands for.
Germany has taught the Germans Ger
manism with all its horrors. America
should teach the true Amerlcanlsm
with all its humanity.
Lincoln got his Americanlsm largely
from Thomas jefferson. In February,
1851 he said In independence Hall,
II have never had feeling politically
that did not spring from the sentiments
in the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence."
Let the students Of the twentieth
century likewise get their inspiration
for liberty humanity and democracy
from the Jeffersons and Lincolns OF

The making or
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A VISIT to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
10 extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution In cleanliness
the medicine Is pasteuri5ed and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
30 successful In the treatment of
female ills.
