A Superior SOldiGry.

Man for man and gun for gun an
American soldier with even but six
months training is superior to the
German soldiers with all his years
of discipline and training by which
we do not doubt the great majority
of German soldier nave become
mere machines capable only of do
ing the bidding'ot their officers aud
therefore incapable of any effective
work as soldiers without the direct
supervision of their officers.
We do not intend to convey the
idea that an army or corps, or
possibly even a division of young
American soldiers who had receiv-
ed only a half years training ought
TO be sent into battle against a
trained army that had been engae-
ed in many battles, although even
IN that case we do not doubt that
their adversaries would find them a
decidedly difficult force to deal
with. The idea we do intend to
convey is that an army, division
or corps in which SO per cent or
even lesser part was como posed of
men Of more extensive training and
with more or less experience under
fire, whether their fellow soldiers
were OF their own nationality or of
the nationality of one of the allied
powers, that the young Americans
would be found the superior man
for man and gun for gun, of even
the flower of the German army. We
believe this to be the case because
the average American soldier is a

Protect The Road Fund.

The large amount of money in
the good roads fund should be kept
intact for the purposes for which it
was collected. The De mocratic and
Republican platforms should so
pledge themselves. Next winter
there will be very strong tempta-
ton to divert it to other purposes.
The automobile owners of this State
have paid this money to be expend-
ed under the Hawes' road law. To
substantially alter that law and
divert these funds would be a
breach of puplic faith and the viola
ton OF a sacred trust. Steps should
be taken now to preserve the fund
intact, so that it will be available
for the vast engineering projects
now under way.

consists of the will and command
of the master, that knows nothing
but to obey orders. that has no in
itiative of its own, that stops run
ming or that is liable to run in the
wrong direction when the master

From what we have read and
heard of the German soldiers in the
ranks we cannot conceive of a
German regiment or a German com.
pany going straight to the mark
without the commands, the direc-
tions. in many cases the driving OF
them forward by their officers.
Anyone who has made a study or
who has even kept pace with the
history of American soldiers knows
that there have been and still are
companies and regiments in Ameri

know what to do. but that would
keep right on doing it, even though
every officer should fall That ia
the difference between men aud
machines, between the American
and the German soldier.
If the German war lords have not

at all of their brains they must be

what effect it is going to have on

a drive toward The Rhine is to be

the Rhine he will 90. This also

this region more thoroughly than
Hindenburg did the region of the
Somme before his famous retreat in
the spring Of 1917.
The threat, it is intimated, will be
made to Belgium aud France sep
arately, with appropriate promises
of rewards if they will consent to
withdraw from the list of Germany's
foes, while a similar offer will be
made to Italy.
In view of what has happened in
the last four years, no one need be
surprised at any threat, or act, Of

is improbable, however, that the
German High Command would car
