Germans and Air Raids.

It is reported in Germany, through
Switzerland, that allied air attacks in
German towns lately have caused panics
in the Rhine valley. From some of the
principal cities Of that region large
numbers Of people have moved to CEN
tral Germany and Switzerland. Already
a sentiment is growing for the abandon
ment Of the German policy Of bombing
English and French cities, for which
these attacks by the allies are in the
nature of long-delayed reprisal.
As The Star pointed out yesterday,
Germany's motive in bombing English
and French cities has undoubtedly been
to strike terror to the hearts of the peo-
pie of those countries. But the raids
have not had that effect. There has
been no sign of panic in England or in
France, although the raids have been
persistent and costly in life. On the
contrary, the repeated bombing of non
military points has merely stiffened the
determination Of the people to con-
tinue the conflict to the point Of VIC
tory. Germany could not have adopted
q course more surely calculated to whet
the fighting spirit Of the British and
the French.
II the civilian population of the
Rhine valley is terror-stricken in con-
sequence Of tho allied raids-twenty-
three towns have been bombed within a
month-there is happening IN that coun-
try precisely what Germany hoped
would happen in England and Franco.
The difference in the behavior of the
peoples is an evidence Of ono Of the
basic issues in this war,

This itinerary covers an extended
sweep Of territory. Included in it are
the agricultural strongholds Of the south
and southwest, and the manufacturing
strongholds of the east. Farmers and
mill owners are both to be appealed to.
Both are flush. Both of recent years
have been prosperous. Both, it is to be
assumed, will weigh the appeal, and re-
spond in the spirit of the day.
Neither the leaders in Congress, nor
leaders in the financial world, are un-
derestimating the situation, In all well
informed quarters there is appreciation
of the fact that in this third appeal the
government has hard task in hand
This third loan viii succeed because
subscriptions will come in part from
sources that were untapped, or but
lightly tapped, by the other two. The
bonds must be more widely distributed.
Greater numbers must take them. Hence
the "drive" that has been planned.
Mr.. McAdoo will have assistance.
Many men influential in politics, or
in business, or in both, will be heard.
The situation should be, and presum-
ably will be, frankly stated. There is
no reason why it should not be-. Greater
publicity about all operations connected
with the war is now being adopted.
The people are being taken into the
governments confidence. 1t is assumed
that they are behind the government,
and will support its policies with an un
derstanding of them.
1t is not enough simply to tell the
people that war IS expensive, and that
as the present war exceeds in size and
destructiveness any previous war very
heavy expenses are necessary. They
already know that, and have grasped
the statement of the cost per day. But
they should know-it should be clearly
explained to them-the relations of
these loans to business; how they are
adjusted, and what business may do
toward helping the government, and at
the same time helping itself.
Mr.. McAdoo's first speech will be
heard and read with much interest, for
in that will probably be sounded the
keynote of the whole campaign.
