MAKE THIS COMPARISON IN
SITUATIONS.

When you think about the little
bother there is to buying War Saw
ings Stamps and Thrift Stamps be
sure to recall the greater bother
the boys are encountering over the
mud in Flanders. Sometimes they
are compelled to go without food
for long stretches and to sleep in
damp holes in the ground. For
hours they must wear half-suffo-
eating gas masks and stand in
ice-cold water. Why, then, should
any person over here object to tax
ing the trouble to secure these evil
dences of loyal support Of the he
roes Of sacrifice over there?

THE AMERICAN WAY.

The keen ability for soldering shown by our
boys on the West front has astounded and de-
lighted the allies and at the same time made
heart-sick our enemies. They believed f~atuous-
ly that America wouldn't fight. Now they are
finding differently.
What makes the American such a fine soldier?
Is it not the environment of freedom he is raised
IN! Does not our scheme of developing the in
dlvldual to the highest point by educating him
and then attording him every chance to become
a free and independent citizen reflect itself on the
battlefelds?

EDITORIAL
EXCELLENT WAR NEWS.

War news couldn't be surpassed. First the
Yanks and the French give the Huns hot Hell
forcing them clear out of their huge salient be-
tween scissors and Rheims and back to the
Vesle. Then the British come back surprisingly
with the biggest result since the Somme battle
of '16. All this is mighty good and we sure feel
tickled to death over it! Whether this condition
is just an incident in a big war or whether it is
the beginning Of the end, Americas duty is
plain: No cessation in preparation, no let-up in
the constant pouring out of men and money to
re-enforce the western front. Whether the al
lied armies are making just a little i%ncursion
across the German lines or whether they nave
really started on the long drive to Berlin is quite
immaterial so far as our cause should be affect
ed. The kaiser caught the civilized world-the
decent people of the world-napping once,
which was not to be wondered at; if he catches
them mapping again it will be their fault.
