Pershing's Offer to Foch.

Something enthusiastically American will be
found in the reported visit OF General Pershing
to General Foch, there to offer him the aid Of
the whole American people in the present battle.
1t amounts to request that American troops
in France be permitted to share in the big work
that is now going ahead there. That such re-
quest should be made is proof that our men have
not been engaged, except in small bodies and
incidental to other work. Until further nforma-
ton comes we will not know what disposition
General Foch has made of the proposal but it is
not reasonable to think Americans will not get
some part in the fighting before the decision of
the battle becomes final
Proceedings OF the ninth day of the copaiet
are conclusvely in favor Of the Allies. The
German advance has been checked, apparently
definitely, along its principal axis. In some
places it has actually been thrown back What
is undoubtedly diversion by the Germans in the
neighborhood of Arras has been insufficient to de-
tract from the danger into which the kaiser's
men have thrust themselves at Montdidier Ber-
lin papers promise an even greater blow impend-
ing, for which we may believe Allied strategists
have made preparation. What form this will take
can only be surmised, but it may be a1move to
support the exposed flank Of the salient pushed
out to Montdidier in the effort to reach Amiens.
Despite the boast OF the Germans, the line is not
broken, but is holding finn and growing stronger
as the attacks loses headway. ..t.a z =. a.1 E.
Observers are intent on the counter move
that Anust come. So far the replies to the Ger
man attack have been chiefly defensive, and,
while as such they are of Importance, they can
not be looked upon as in the nature of general
assault General Bells disclosure of the fact that
the present move has been in conformity with
d we'll arranged plan leads to the other fact that
some equally definite plan for countering must
exist and to its operation Americans can look
forward confidently. Il, n

The Battle Hymn IN the Dugout

If any additions to the Battle Hymn of
the Republic we're permissible, they would
be such spontaneous additions as the soldiers
themselves make when they sing the hymn
in the trenches. These additions might be
of rough and ready character, but they
would at least meet want of actually in
the hymn which the boys might feel, and
their amendments would be accepted at least
during the period of the present war-after
which the battle hymn would be restored to

the hymn under circumstances closely CORE
spending with inspiration, iS entirely right
in protesting, as she has done, against any
purely literary additions to the poem. The
better the literary quality Of the amend
ments, the more impertinent they would be.
But it seems that the boys themselves do
not want any changes. In letter to his
mother, written by young Vermont soldier
in the New England division, under date of
FEBRUARY H. which the St: Adams Messen-
ger publishes, we find this inspiring passage;

there playing the Battle Hymn of the Re-

went down the side of the hill and found
the entrance. The place where the band was
playing was large room with big hole
overhead and tunnels leading out in every
direction, and large pillars supporting the

men, "and this We can only do if we apply that

have chosen to resist that machine, and events of

"When Cheyenne Was Young"
Chapter Reminiscent Of Border Life Foytou Years Ago
By William Francis Hooker in THE Prairie Schooner"

Let us suppose this is the year 1872, and
that we are taking trip across the continent
on the first railroad from the Missouri river
to the golden gate. We have passed through
western Nebraska and its uninhabited hills
and plains, and we are entering Cheyenne, on
a vast pain, yet situated at the foot of a
range Of the Rocky mountains known as the
lower Black Hills. We are in sight of Long S
and other Colorado peaks OF the Rockies and
while apparently on a wide prairie for several
hours we have nevertheless been climbing a
steep grade all the way from Sidney, the last
division point. ~
Cheyenne is Tin 72, remember) city of
boards, logs and canvas, but is beginning to
shake off the very first things of camp,
and is entering the brick age, with good
prospects of acquiring fame as a substantial
city.
But there are some hundreds of things
here that are strange to the eyes of an east
ern man. For example, in all his life he has
never seen man, outside of military en-
campment, with a revolver strapped in a
bolster to belt around his waist. Perhaps
he has never seen faro game in his life,
and chuck-a-luck is as mysterious to him as
the lingo of the broad-hatted men who rec
ommend it to the fortuneseeker instead of
a gold mine or honest toll Of any kind. He
has never seen, much less heard Of, hurdy-
gurdy where the men, and the scarlet women

He used to see his Uncle Cyrus plow with
slow-plodding team of oxen among the
cobble stones of Vermont farm; but this is
the first time in his ife that he ever saw seven
yokes of oxen hitchcd together in front OF
two big wagons and every team pacing a
gait that would bring praise from the judges

sees The Gold Room" in big letters on a
big wooden building. "This is where they

The Third Liberty Loan.

Secretary McAdoo's preliminary announce
.ment of terms and amount for the third Liberty
loan comes as pleasant surprise to the financial
world. Neither the interest rate nor the total
amount is as high as had been expected. Atreas-
ury device in the form Of sinking fund is de-
pended on to keep the price of the bonds at par,
while the total is fixed blythe gratifying fact that
war expenditures have not reached the limit of
estimates. In these statements is evidence of the
soundness of our financial condition as we'll as
some proof of the sincerity with which we en-
tered the war. Dollars alone will not win battles,
but money is essential, And just as the American
people took up their share of the conflict with a
whole-hearted devotion to its purpose, just so
they gave without stint OF their treasure to its
support That the stupdendous cost has not
swallowed up the sums provided is encouraging,
but the future must be looked to. General Wood
advises that present forces be more than doubled
and his words will be needed. Americans must
furnish men and money alike to carry the contest
to the only end that will be acceptable to them.
Further revenue legislation will have direct
bearing on the task of financing the war; and a

1t is impossible, especially at this dis
tance, to learn all the iacts concerning the
financial conduct of the war by Germany,
for the government has thrown a veil of
secrecy about every vital point connected
with finance, especially the subject. of ex-
penditures. But there are two sets of figures
which it has been impossible to suppress or
probably distort and from a study of these
we may deduce the approximate Indebtedness
Of Germany at the present time.
The first of these is the votes of credit
by which the Reichstag appropriates money
for the use of the government. AS it is
constitutionalIy necessary to have parlia-
mentary approval before the money can be
raised or spent these votes are matter of
public record, and hence may be accepted as
accurate. Up'to and including December |,
1917, 10 such votes of credit had been
granted, aggregating lOOO0o,OOO,Ooo marks
($27 250000000).

STRIKE OUT THE "pRovIso."

The proposed amendment to the constitution
of Nebraska relating TO dcclaratory citizenship
has been presented to the legislature, presumably
in conformity with Governor Neville's peculiar
ideas. As drafted it pretends to disfranchise
first-paper voters, but in reality saves them by
cunning "proviso" that it is not to be effective
for three years In other words, if the amend
ment should be submitted and adopted as framed,
we would stop alien enemies from voting in Ne
braska three years hence. If this is not the
height OF absurdity, will not someone please tell
us how it could be more absurd!
The popular demand OF the hour in Nebraska
is to insist on full American citizenship as the
prerequisite to suffrage and to require full nat
uralization, not three years from today, nor next
year, but just as soon as the change can be
legally incorporated into our constitution. The
danger OF our present system Of first-paper vot-
ing has been driven home by the condition of
war; which is immediate and critical and is not to
be met by waiting three years. 80. ....' y
The absurdity OF the "proviso" may be seen
also from another angle. The legislature will
meet twice in regular session before three years
shall have passed--so what need for an extra
session to do something for which there is no
more hurry than that?
e.. Rather than submit the amendment in the
present form it wYbe far better to do nothing
at all Before the proposed measure goes any
farther, the fool "proviso" inserted to save dis
