TOO MUCH FREEDOM.

Every body m America believes IN
freedom. 1t is the cree5 OF our peo-
ple and the rock upon! which our ma
ton was founded. That all men were
born equals and only through-the sell
debasement of some can others be-
come their acknowledged superiorS IS
the .,octrine of all free-born peoples
who i've and flourish under the varl-
GUS flags of that form of government

body polite is of the people and Tor

saws. freedom does not mean 1ha'

Wa has clearly developed the fact
that too much freedom exists in
america for that minority of her peo-
ple. who have sought her shelterlns

Obtain under the flag beneath whose
folds they or their ancestors were
born. Bomb plots, wilful destruction
Of lives and property, prohteerlng'
strikes and denunciations Of our gov

places to-day in the records Of our
present-daEs history. The. time, has

ings' of a people at war must be
stopped in their stealings, that Amer
leans in name and Germans at heart
must be checked in their preachings
and speakings, and that all men who
are found guilty of treason shall pay
the penalty of their acts at the end
of a rope, Immediately upon the es-
Establishment of their guilt. There is
too much freedom in America today
for men German, things German and
thoughts German. There are too
many free German Fairgrounds in
America today and too few German
burying grounds.

THE WESTERN DRIVE.

The prelude of the long-advertised
German drive on the western front
was the following statement OF the
Kaiser, according to a dispatch from
Amsterdam:
"The prize of victory must not and
will not fail .us-no soft peace, but
one which corresponds with Germanys
interests"
Unlike other boasts of the German
emperor, there is no reference to the
confederacy which he thinks exists
between the Teutons and God. The
Kaiser, it appears, is about to go
it alone in the present drive.
The terrific bombardment of the
British front yesterday is not inter
,preted Washington as the beginning
Of the widely, heralded general Ger
man offensive against the allies in the
west.
Army staff officers express the be-
lief that the heavy artillery assault
against the sBritishpositions was de-
signed to screen operations elsewhere.
If the German move against the
British proves to be the opening OF
the predicted German offensive, as II
would appear on its face, American
Officers are confident that the allies
will be found ready and prepared to
meet any and every attack, however
strong they may be.
"The line will hold" said a'veterah
staff officer last night. IL don't, be-
lieye the Germans have started or
ever will start a general movement
against the allied lines. Unless they
are more desperate than any OF Us
anticipate, can't see how they can
afford to risk their all in drive which
can have but one end-failure. Such
a failure would cost them thousands
upon; thousands of men that they can
not afford to lose. Then an allied
offensive would have a far better
chance of succeeding"
All over the War Department there
is feeling of utmost confidence tna'
the allied line in, the west is as nearly
impregnable as it can be made under
modern conditions. The Huns may
penetrate short distance here and
there, but in the end they VIII ne
thrown back, is the general prediction.
The allies will emerge from the I'M
pending conflict stronger, relatively
than when the enemy launched the
attempt.
Germany is stalking everything on
this play, and if the great attack fai:s
to break clear through, it is believed
that the Germans will be finished, for
they have nothing further to offer eS-
cept a gradually weakening defense

MAY STRIKE AT ENGLAND.
Government Has Made All Prepare
tions For Defense and Possible
Evacuation.


Is the most stupendous scheme of
conquest in history about to be at
tempted by the Kaiser? Is the in
vasion Of England-an age-old dream
of every great continental military
power--the real German surprise for
1918?
1t is no eXaggeration to say that a
Teutonic onslaught upon the island
fortress has been since the war be-
gan a recognized 'and menacing pos
-sibility. 80
There is no disputing the fact that
now or never is the Kaiser's chance.
A Knockout Of the Entente in 1918,
or complete disaster-Germany un
qucstionably recognizes that this IS
her alternative. "World-power or
DOWNFALL has become now, in fact,
the desperate gamblers choice before
the Kaiser. In 1919 Americas
strength will begin to irresistibly tc
turn the tide against him.
How can the Entente be smashed IN
1918? BY blow in the solar plexus,
by an invasion Of England, and by
that alone.
TIE ruthless cunquests in the east
are netting the Huns no advantage
that they can keep unless England S
crushed. Capture of Paris would noe
smash the Entente while the power
of England stood.
England is, therefore, the one logi-
cal object for Hindenburg's predict
ed 1918 blow.
These arc S2'ne of the considerations
which have led up to the current talk
among military critics about pos
sible invasion of Britain.
That this talk is not mere idle fan
cy is shown by the names of those
VINO are responsible for it. Only two
need be cited.
Lieut., Col. Charles Repington, Great
Brita:n's leading military critic, in
MS analysis of the possibilities Of the
German blow in 1918, mentions first
of all "an oversee attack upon Eng
land"

We are far from ashamed Of River
Falls for it's failure to enthuse over
the proposition Of so-called home
guard" organization. About the
only excuse for such an organization
in River Falls, where there are no
large factories liable to strike dis
turbance or similar menace, would
be to allow some men to wear mill
tary clothes and to gain therein a
certain refuge from enlistment into
active service. There is, however,
an opportunity for military work in
River Falls. We refer to a provi-
sion which would give drafted men
who are in line for early transporta-
ton to camp an opportunity to re-
ceive disciplinary drill at home. 1t
Is being done in hundreds of com
munities and it certainly is wise
thing. The young man who goes in
to the army equipped with a work
ing knowledge Of the drill forms has
a great advantage over the untutor-
ed rookie and his chances for
early promotion are excellent. In
many districts whole squads of men
who took advantage of the home
training became non-commlssloned
