BRINGING THE WAR NEARER

Tho sinking Of a number Of American ships off the
North Atlantic coast Of the United States brings the war
nearer to this country both in fact and in the apprecia-
ton Of the public. .m.
The ships that have been sunk within the past few
days were small cruft, hence the loss in both tonnage
and life is small. This, of course. is gratifying. But the
fact that these sinkings have occurred indicates a set pur-
pose on the part Of the German authorities to carry the
war home to tho people Of the United States, and to in
fuct upon them all the damage possible.
The recent sinkings serve again to emphasize the re-
markable thoroughness with which the lanes Of travel
across the ocean have been guarded. During the year an
immense number OF commercial vessels have crossed the
ocean, and few of them have come to grief. And. in the
transportation OF close to a million soldiers within the
space OF about a year but three vessels carrying American
soldiers have been sunk, and. in these s.nkinss the loss Of
life was but zoo.
The duty Of guarding the transports and other yes
sells is shared by the British and American fleets. It is
now a little over a year since the first American squadron
crossed the seas to take up the work of helping to guard
thase fatal lanes of travel. and since then a large share
Of the splendid work that has been done has been per-
formed by our gallant American seamen.
The recent sinkings will serve AZ a warming Of the
desperate effort that is being put forth by the Germans
to stop the stream Of American troops across the ocean.
part Of every American ut home. Our men abroad are do
ing all that human beings can do. It is for us who are
in safety to perform our share.

flushed with her victories. ana supremacy arrogant in
the consciousness Of invineibility, would have picked a
quarrel with the United States? But. say those who
counselled the easy way. the pacific attitude Of the United
States would have made Germany her friend. hence We
need not have feared attack from her.
In what instance has the course Of Germany been
governed by considerations Of friendship? When and
where has Germany acted save from = desire to promote
her own selfish interests? Peace with a victorious Ger
many. with the United States dominating one continent
and aiding in the building in another OF a democracy
which Germany both fears and despises; with the United
States in control Of the. Panaha canal ana the gateway
to it: with the Philippines and Hawaii in our possession!
Such a thing Is unthinkable. At her own convenience
Germany would have forced a war upon US. ana Ia that
war We should not have had an ally. We should not
have had. nor should we have deserved, a friend, And
that war. unlike this one. would have been fought out on
American soil, and 1t would have been American and not
French and Belgian cities and homes that would have
been despoiled.
America mead not have entered the war when she
did. But had she not done 80, instead Of aiding ctvtlixa-
uon to rid itself Of a monster, she would have been
forced into a losing war tor her very existence. and, Ger
many would have vanoutshed the United States as she
would have vanquished>those nations which are now for.
tunately fighting with US In the same cause.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4. 1918.
FINANCING PATRIOTIC CAUSES

Several American cities have adopted the plan of
creating a war chest" for the financing Of the various
causes connected with the operation Of the war. It is
evident that the people generally cannot give to every
worthy war cause. And there are 80 many Of these
causes. each with It's own merit, that II individuals and
committees were to 60 about soliciting for each. life
would be a burden to both solicited ana solicitors. In
order to prevent this work. and to provide tho
funds that are needed in the most convenient way. a
decision has been reached as to tho principal causes
which shall be supported by means Of funds from a
community, and pledges are obtained from individuals
to pay stated sums regularly into that general fund.
Then. when payments are to be made for q cause on the
approved list, the money is drawn from that fund.
Thus far. in the cities where tho plan has been tried.
1t appears to work well. Less labor is involved in the
work of soliciting, and the time and attention Of the peo-
pie is not consumed in listening to appeals for this. that
and the other fund.
The selection of a method to handle these matters
is largely a question Of local conditions. The plan which
will work admirably in one city may not work at all in
another. In Grand Forks there has been developed q
plan which: has given splendid results in the last Liberty
Loan and Red Cross campaigns. That is the plan Of in
viting the people in the community to call on the col
lection committee instead Of sending the committee on a
pilgrimage through the community.
The thought behind that plan is that this war and
everything connected with It is the affair of each indi-
vidual. 1t is assumed that the individual recognizes this.
and is willing to do his share. The committee is there
in order to handle the details. and to give needed infor-
nation. not to solicit money. 1t is assumed that the in
dividual, will pay gladly his proper proportion when he
understands what that proportion is. In the working
out Of this plan in Grand Forks there is every reason for
satisfaction. We have seen what the oversubscriptions
amounted to without solicitation. And aside from the
convenience to both committee and public, aside from
the sums of money collected, the plan has tended to
arouse interest as no other would have been likely to do,
and to strengthen in the minds of our people the feeling
Of personal responsibility. .M

If We HAD NOT ACTED

The United States need not have entered the war
when she did. There were many people who advocated
a course which would have kept US out OF actual warfare,
at least for some time. Early in the war we could have
yielded to the demands Of Germany that we forego our
natural right to freedom Of intercourse with other ma
tons and permitted Germany to say with whom we
should trade, and in what commodities we should deal
outrages against our commerce and our people having
been committed, we could have continued our parleying
isfactory explanations which we knew were false. and
promises which, as we well knew. were made but to be
broken. We could have permitted the incidents Of the
Lusitania, and the Arabic. and the Suffolk. and all the
rest, to be CLOSED over with fair words, and We could
have permitted ourselves to become the virtual allies Of
Germany by denying the ordinary commercial facilities
of our country to the nations with which she was at war.
Had we done all this there would have been no spe-
oaal need for US to 90 to war a year ago. In fact, 80
pleasing would have been our course to Germany, and
so advantageous to her, that in her dealings with US she
friendship. And then what?
The German influences which resulted In the col
lapse Of Russia had long been at work. Russia would
have dethroncd q r'cxar; and With the autoeratic govern
ment would have vanished an that made Russia q fight
