To quite a few, it may seem queer
That man should bear the name of
Beer,
Rarely a Mr.. Beer appears:
We're more familiar far with Beers
The name BcerhaVcn bears no blame

New York name seems to imply
Its bearer. Beeroft. was not dry.
No harm from frequent drink we
fear
When we use only bible beer,
AS by that book it doth appear,
Gods chosen people went to Beer" '
That is to say. went to tn we'll
Whereof the Lord did speak, and tell
His servant. Moses, to declare
That God would give them water
there,
Then sang this song. did Israel.
Sing We to it. spring UP we'll;
Digged with their slaves, by princely
men.
Directed there by Moses then.
Beer in the Bible signifies
A well, or spring; that which. sup

The homo with water. fresh and

AS did that we'll in Palestine
w
swore,
And named it Beersheba of yore.
Beer stands for well, sheba, an oath
The we'll of swearing mean they both,
The town Beersheba had it's name
From this same we'll, which some do
claim
May still be seen, with one well more
Where old Beershaba stood of yore,
And was the end of all the land,
While Dan stood on the otheS hand,
OF other beers the Bible tbs;
Beeri, my well. Beeroth, Neans wells,
The we'll of Elm. or Of rain

While Beerlahairoi seems to be

Fighting All Summer.
Idaho Statesman) J.

When Lord Dunmore was in Boise
on Monday he pointed out an impore
tant fact which the general public
occasioally forgets-namely that ever
if the Germans drive the British on.
of Flanders, even if they over-run al.
of northern France-even If they cap
ture countless towns and many elite.
and gain one strategic advantage aft
or another, the war will still go on
and those temporary successes will
in no way affect the final outcome OF
the struggle except as they postpone
the inevitable conclusion-an allied
victory.
This is a point which the Germans
cannot Comprehend--that the Allies
will fight on and on. Germany may
take Dunkirk and Calais and Bou
logne. That will not end the war.
Germany may take Amiens and Havre
and Paris. That will not end the war.
Germany may destroy the present
British army. That will not bring
victory and a German peace to the
kaiser. The bulldog tenacity of the
English is aroused. The bulldogs
teeth arc set, and they will not be
relaxed until the enemy is worsted.
The French people arc of the same
mind, and so are the people Of the
United States. President Wilson
voiced this in his speech at Baltimore
when he said force, force to the ut
most force without stint Or limit"
would be eNerted until Germany is
dccisive1y defeated
This means that the war will last
for a long, long time, Last year there
were persons who hoped it would end
in FIVE or six months. Today the
prospects are that it may last for five
or six years-at least that is the view
OF most able commanders in the al
lied armies. When the war broke
out Kitchener was laughed at when
he said it would last for from three
to five years. And there arc people
today who laugh at the declaration
that Germany will not be defeated UNI
til we have sent 100000 men
abroad to fight This view Of tho
trained military man, which the lay
man has difficulty in understanding,
is based upon the hard fact that in
modern warfare the primary object
of both sides is the destruction OF
armies--not the winning of certain
terrain or tho capture of rich cities,
Last year the British offensive be-
gan in July and did not cease until
November. The German push against
Verdun continued actively from late
in February until early in june. SO
with this years offensive of the Cor
mans---it will go on from day to day
and from week to week smashing
now here now there. And to meet
this offensive the Allies must have
men-and the United States must fur.
nsh them as rapidly as possible.
There is no other way to assure VIC
tory. and the longer we lag the more
remote will become the days of peace,

1.-The English BeInhardi".
(Springfield Republican, }

William Herbert Hobbs, professor Of
geology in the University of Michigan,
says in the New York Tribune that
the feeble voice Of the dying Cramb
was drowned in the clamor of the
British pacifists.' Professor Crambs
physical voice may have been feeble;
his writings were not. He sought to
rouse England with regard to Ger
man ambitions, but not from any
hatred of militarism. His American
editor says: professor Cramb finds
much to praise in the War-spirit: he
looks on it as something, which, like
religion, is super-ra tional, and there
fore not to be critized by the stand
ards of commerce and everyday life. y
His half-mystical Interpretation of
the war spirit and his imperialism
we're more German than British Is
it to be wondered at that the public
failed to heed his dying voice? In
Lord Robertss warnings about Ger
man aims. there was at least no
Sloritication of war for its own sake
as there was in Cramb, who might be
called the English Bernhardi.
