DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE
ENEMY.

The other night during the inter
mission in one Of the movie picture
houses here,> a performer came out
from back of the wings and sang
with gusto a song which pleased the
audience about "Pershing crossing
the Rhine Every few days one o1.t
proclaiming that nine Americans
have repulsed or yanquished thirty
three Germans. This is baleful talk
Our delay in the production Of ships
and aeroplanes and guns may have
been unavoidable, seeing that some
people are thanking God that the

frain from brayado, stop Boosting OF
what we are going to do and recog-
nize the gravity OF our undertaking..
1t is stated by a Washington offic-
ial that he heard an American offlc-
er high in command say not long
ago, II our troops ever reach H. Fer r
building-the quarters Of the Ger
their hats" He spoke from the
point of view of military prowess.
1t is meet for Americans to bear
in mind that all other wars which
they or any other people have fought
contest in history, and that their
part in it has only just begun. Let
us cease to hug the delusion that
our troops are cover there" to show
the others how to fight and that. all
will soon be over but the shouting.
Let us open our minds to the grim
truth that this war which we have
pledged ourselves to win is likely to
be supreme test of American ener-
gy, endurance and self-sacritice and
to cost thousands of American lives.
We are all of the belief that no man
is drawer than an American, but it
is indispensable that we appreciate
the quality of the foe against whom
we are fighting for he is not only
resourceful, but is strong in mum

whole lives have been spent in study
ing the war game.

must be won by hard tighting-anG

THE RIGHT COURSE.

President Wilson speaks with
clear sense and patriotism when he
urges congress to remain in session
until the governments legislative
needs have been fully met. There
is no good reason for congress to adj
journ; there are many cogent reas-
ons for its remaining in session all
summer.
The two million soldiers who are
under arms do not go home when
they feel like it. They are required
to remain at the post of duty. That
home each soldier loves may be de-
stroyed, his loved ones fall victim
to frightful disaster, his every pri-
vate interest suffer-but he cannot
desert his government.
COngress-and every other depart
ment Of the federal government
should bring itself under some such
discipline as that of the army and
navy. Then our country would be
as well served at home as it is in the
fields where the soldier and the sail
or are doing their best every moment
for the republic.

unbroken. AS far back as 1912 Mr..
Wilson adopted the policy of silence
as regards the colonel, and during
the campaign of that year never as
much as mentioned his name, and
throughout the campaign of 1916
the president acted as though the
