THE ARMY NEEDS

Resolutions have been introduced in
Congress by members OF both parties
providing for large increase in the size
Of the army. The colossal fighting in
France is opening the eyes Of our people.
We can now see that the war can not be
ended by tall talk.
At no stage Of the war have our peo-
ple looked ahead with intelligent fore
sight. We have kept Understanding the
demands we have tohmeet., ssVv1ien s1~the.
demands came, we were not ready.
Germany is now splendidly provided
with artillery, captured on the Russian,
Italian and British fronts, besides her
own guns. She can not keep up the
present rate of the present offensive very
long. But she can dig in, erect terrific
ally strong defences by the labor Of Bel
gian and other slaves contrary to inter-
national law, and hold us off for years.
To break through the German trench
line, a 2 to force will probably be re-
quired. We should be assembling great
new army at the environments, and have
them ready to send over at this time
next year. It seems probable that 3,OOO,-
600 men will be needed. And very likely
it may take 100000.
It will be great deal cheaper, in both
lives and money, to take hold Of this
thing as if we meant business, rather
than let the war drag along four or five
years. With a powerful force we should
be able to finish the thing in few short,
swift strokes. With force only half ad-
equate, we can not see the end Of it for
years. -
Probably the army environments need
enlargement. Much of the disease last
winter was due to overcrowding at the
camps. It will be much more expensive
to wait to the last moment before making
the additions, and we may not be able
to get it done if we wait.

TOBE CONGRATULATED

Without dissenting voice the press
of the nation has hailed with delight the
appointment Of Charles M. Schwab as
head of our national ship building pro-
gram. The nation is turning at last to
practical men Of affairs to handle its
great war plans.
Close upon the heels of Mr.. Schwab's
appointment comes the appointment of
John D. Ryan, another of Americas great
captains Of industry, as head Of the air.
plane construction program.
For year ship building and airplane
construction have Jagged under political
management but some good has come
from it, it has proved to the people, what
thinking men have often said, that no
form Of political management can ever
secure the results of downright individ-
ual American initiative, if freed from the
restraining influences Of official red
tape.
President Wilson is to be congratulate
ed on his business like plan Of putting
real builders in charge Of our construc-
ton program.

Billy Jones
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

Billy Jones-meSbS your son or the
pon Of Q neighbor--was In the front
line trenches In France when the Ger.
man bombing party was driven back.
His enthusiasrh to get the Boches car.
Red him over the top Of the trench,
and at the edge u No Mans Land Q
Hun bullet got him.
A comrade-maybe your boy-crawl.
ID out into No Mans Land and brought
Billy Jones back to the American
trenches.
Other comrades carried him back
through the maze Of trenches to Q
dressing station, where his wound was
cared for.
A medical department ambulance
carried him on to the field hospital.
From there Billy Jones was taken to
the base hospital. and there Red
Cross nurse-your Red Cross nurse
Ia tenderly, carefully, smilingly nursing
him back to health again 30 that he
may not have to pay the extreme sac
rifce that we-that you and and our
neighbors-may enjoy the blessings Of
freedom.
There are half Z million of these
boys Of ours In France today and
more going "ovcr there" every week.
They are there to wage the supreme
conflict Of the world with the brutal
forces of autocracy that democracy,
our heritage, may not perish.
We want these boys Of ours to come
back to ~, and It II the Red Cross men
and women--our Red Cross men and
women-who will bring Thousands Of
them back who would not otherwise
come II our dollars will but keep them
there to minister to these boys Of ours.
They are but doing for Us what We
cannot do for ourselves.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Many business men are worrying over
conditions to be expected after the war.
This feeling restrains them from new
enterprises.
They argue that the world in war time
is like sick man who has been living on
9 stimulant. Remove it, he is all gone.
They talk about all the people to be
thrown out Of work when munition bus
mess, shipbuilding, air craft work, etc,
shall stop.
Yet others think differently. Otto H.
Kahn, 9 leading New York banker says:
~Unless we make grave mistakes, we have
right to look for period of great pros
perity and suspicious achievement after
the war;"
While the war continues there will be
plenty OF work for everybody. Prices are
high to be sure, but wages have gone up
about an equal amount, and in addition
there are none Of the long periods of un-
employment that usually cause distress
AS consequence many people who have
been in debt will have bank accounts
enjoyed prosperity during the war will
keep spending money, and will help tide
over the readjustment period. Also there
will be great deal of reconstruction
work. Our new fleet Of ships will help us
get foreign trade.
It will take good many years to
pay for the war, but the great bulk of the
cost comes out of the pockets of the rich.
And it is all paid back to our own people.
OF course you can't figure profit on
war; But if people save the cost out of
their foolish extravagances, as they can,
no new burden is created. So let cur

THE WAR AND LABOR

"The workers must compose their Diff
ferences during the war, and not strike
or enter any movement that would make
them ashamed to look our soldiers in the
face when they bring victory back from
the present war. Either give Uncle
Sam what you have in bonds, taxes, and
service, or you will ultimately pay for it
with an indemnity to the Kaiser"
The foregoing utterance was not made
by any capitalist seeking labor support
for the war. It was Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation of
Labor, in an address at Boston last week.
Early in the war, the idea was sedulous-
" fomented by German agents, that this
was rich mans war, promoted by the
munition makers. Many honest people
believed and repeated this lie.
: It should be perfectly evident that no
workingman is safe in this country or
any other until the Kaiser's despotism is
destroyed. That autocrat realizes per-
fectly that his system is out Of date. He
must either destroy democracy or 60 un-
der. He has chosen the former alterna-
tive. He felt that by hitting unsuspect-
ing nations first before they were ready,
and by long advance preparation, he
could gain such an advantage that the
democratic nations could never catchup
with him.
The working masses Of Europe, ground
under the heel Of military despotism, hold
out their hands in pitiful appeal to the
American workingman. "Come over and
help us and rid the world Of this curse"
is their cry. If the Kaiser's despotism
gains the upper hand, democracy is de-
stroyed in Europe. The progress Of the
working masses all over the world is set
back for centuries. AS Mr.. Gompers well
says, I'VE must forget our differences,
and support the boys as well that we
can all look them in the eye when they
get back.

GREATER SUGAR OUTPUT

No American industry is essential to
win the war as sugar beet production.
Unless we are able to supply 100000
tons Of beet sugar to the Allies, that
sugar must be got from Java and we
move 100000 less soldiers to France.
The Food Administration, at the re-
quest Of organized beet growers, inves-
tigated the conditions Of sugar beet
growing, to establish a price that would
stimulate production.
The farmers unions Of all the western
states carried on campaign for sever
al months early this year demanding that
prices of beets be advanced to $40 ton.
The raise from SIPS to $40 ton was
not granted to enrich the farmer. the
manufacturer, or to raise prices to the
consumer, but as war measure to pro-
duce more sugar.
If we cannot deliver 100000 tons Am
erican beet sugar to the Allies in 1918
with ships that take thirty days to cross
the Atlantic, instead Of ships that take
$50 days to 60 to Java for sugar, we
block the transport Of 100000 additional
soldiers to the fighting line in Europe.
In asking farmers to grow beets the
nation is asking him to help save ships to
send soldiers to France.
