Where COURAGE is Valuable.

1t takes courage to do that which is
unpopular, but which one feels is right.
Courage is a great asset in citizenship
because it impels US to do right for
rights sake and not because it pleases
some one else.

ROWING 10 PREssuRE.

New evidence is furnished daily to tle effect that the central powers have seen the handwriting on the wall and as the result thereof have realized the necessity of moling T serious move with the idea of bringing about con cit:ons in those countries which will prove to be sters toward meeting the conditions which have been set forth by President Wilson as preliminaries to peace.
 Austria Hungary has been staying of the demands of the many nation alities within it's confines. It has been forced to this by the dominating in- fiuence which Germany has exerted over ii' but with Germany engaged in bringing about reorganization of its own government it is not at all sur prising that the announcement should come from the Austria premier to the effect that Austria is to be divided into four states as a concession to the de- mands of the people for autonomous government, and that proclamation was read in the Hungarian parliament declaring Hungary to be an independ = ent state.
 Though these steps may not have been taken as yet. there are strong indications that they are on the way and will be put into force. for 1t car not help being recognized from the at utude of the people that if such ac. tion is not taken as the result of present conditions it will be broueh, about as the result of force, not only from without but by strong and de- teTmined u5risings without. The dua' monarchy Is therefore lowing to the inevitable. It Is not doing so out ot desire to see the changes effected but because it's hands are beinf forced. Reforms are apparently pend.

glass houses when 1. comes to wrong and unjust treatments. At the same time Germany and not the al,aes was the nation which insisted upon the war had been preparing for it for years and has no license therefore to talk about conquest in view of it's pam Germanic plans.
 Just what will be done with the former German colonies is something which will have to be determined when the peaRe terms are written. In- asmuch as the allies stand for the self determination of peoples it Is not i'm probable that some such plan will be resorted to in regard to these possess sions, and in view of the kind of treat ment which the people ia those colo nies have received at the hands of Germany there can be little question but what they would welcome the day when the German yoke was definitely cast aside. Most any arrangement which the allies might make would be an. improvement to them.

GERMAN COLONIES.

Germany may be thinking of a gTeat deal more just now than it's colonies which have been for some time in the hands of the allies. It hasn't forgotten nevertheless that it cannot get along without them as it liss frequently said and there can be little question but what it will make a determined effort to get them. It VIII make all kinds of pleas. It will claim that it is being wronEfuIly treated, that the allies are resortins 10 conquest although they maintain that they are opposed to it and that if Germany Is going to give up terri tory which 1t has taken the allies should do the same.
 There is no evidence at hand, how ever. at the present time to show that Germany is going to give upon anS territory which it now occupies ex- ropt that it is forced to do so and il iE thoroughly understood by the world that Germany is in the glassiest oi

EDITORIAL NOTES.

With Germany bending the thing to do is to buy more bonds and make it break.
 Considering who is after them you cannot blame the Huns very much for showing their heels
 Those who do not buy bonds be- cause of the talk about peace are simply throwing up their hands to the Huns.
 if reports are true Austria Hungary is beginning to set it's house in order that it may take advantage of Wilson's terms.
 The man on the corner says: If it were plums you would not require ad- vice. but being bonds get everyone you can.
 Do not step lending until you are convinced that you are doing every thing possible to win the bond vic tory over here.
 The latest long range gun bcmbard ment of DunRirk by the Germans is in all probability a parting shot at a much shelled town.
 if the ambition of the kaiser is tc die war lord he is entirely overlook. ing the opportunity which the from line positions afford.
 Your last chance to buy bonds ir the fourth Liberty loan and yol haven't done your part unless vol help to meet the, quota.

In January, after weeks or bitter winter, the quail came to the farm yards, and the farmers put out grain for them No one can fathom the inn pulse or instinct that led these wild and tinid birds to seek. in their direst extremity, the aid Of men; but they did seek, and many sought not in vain. Despite the food that was placed conveniently for them the coV- tys diminished in numbers from day to day. The struggle against cold and hunger was losing one. When Feb ruary brought warmth and thaw many of the quail had perished In some parts Of the state it fs said that no quail were left alive.
 Last summer 1t was generally ap- parent that the enactment of a per rnAnent quail protection law had in- e reased the number Of birds in Ohio They were fairly abundan. in regions where they had not been seen or heard for years.

DOES IT MEAN REFORMS.

Whether the evacuation of the i'm poEtant city of Lille without the burn ing of the buildings or the blowing up of the churches. libraries and other public institutions indicates Aan ifnpor- tant reform on the part of the Ger mans can be told in time but it Is as yet too early to reach such a decision as the result of that instance alone.
 It is of course being accompanied by the stories coming from Holland that Germany has recalled all its sub- marines to their bases. From this it is possible to infer that Germany is to abandon it's ruthless submarine warfare but even that. does not of necessity mean that such is the case. Germany has gotten to the point where nothing it does is above suspicion and it can be appreciated that if there is going to be harder submarine cam paign attempted it would be only nat ural that the underwater boats should be recalled for instructions.
 It is entirely possible, however, that knowing what the situation is at home and at the front, and having been brought face to face with the fact even at this late date that it is working to it's own detriment by the wantoh prsc- tees to which it has been resorting Germany recognizes the necessity oi instituting immediate reforms in the hope that it will be able to modify the feeNns which exists against it.
 There can be no idea that the allied nations are in any mood to forget what Germany has done. but if Germany is really striving to tighten the penalty which it must pay more than one in stance of indulgence in destruc- ton will be required. It, however shows by the manner in which it has left Lille intact that the devastation in which it has been engaged was oi no military advantage.

OUR AIRPLANE ACTIVITIES.

t has taken us a much longer time than was first figured upon to furnish our forces in the field with the neces- sary air fighting equipment, but from the latest reports which are coming rom the front it is shown that we are rot only providing more nearly in keeping with the needs but that we are furnishing type of airplane which is meeting the requirements and mak- ing it possible for the Americans to do as effective work in the air with their own American made machines as those who are fighting with them and from all accounts much more telling service than their opponents
 For war service it is acknowledged that the De Haviland type of fighting machine is meeting all demands and well along toward ten thousand of these machines are now in France or on the way there and in this connec- ton the Liberty motors are not only coming in for much praise but they are being sought by the allies in such numbers that the orders cannot be filled.
 This is certainly a gratifying out come of the discouraging start which was made in this line of production. Apparently the experiences of the ear ly days, or the far-reachlng cry Against the methods which were at first used, have brought about tho necessary reforms. It is a welcomed change and regrettable that we could not have received the benefits which are being gained now right from the very start.
