LOTS Of water has flown over the
wheel since the United States became
IN active factor in the great war, and
there has been nothing which illustrates
this quite so forcibly as the announce
ment OF United War Work Campaign
in which the Young Mems Christian
Association, the Young Women's Chris
tian Association, the Catholics War
Work Council (which includes the
Knights OF Columbus), the Jewish We'll
fare League, the War Camp Community
Service and the Salvation Army will
participate. Instead OF seven different
campaigns for seven worthy organiza-
tons there has been a merger OF drives,
At the request OF President Wilson, and
one monster whirlwind effort is to be
made week Of November Ills. The
campaign in West Virginia is being
worked out by an executive board,
which gives representation to the various
bodies included in the merger and to
other interests Of West Virginia and has
the endorsement of the State Council Of
Defense, with Governor John ]. Corn
we'll as honorary chairman Of the
executive committee. The identity Of
the various organizations is to be lost
sight OF in the united campaign which
Is to be waged, with arrangements
which are expected to assume every
county in West Virginia going over in
the eight days allotment to the drive.
THE Kaiser, with inevitable defeat
staring him in the face, is trying to
square himself by whining that the war
was not OF his making in the first place,
and right now all he wants is peace.
This Is in marked contrast to his brag
and buster, but it will not save him
and it will not save Germany He and
his government must answer for their
crimes against civilization and against
humanity. They must give an account
for the murder and the enslavement OF
the innocents, for the ravishing Of
Belgium; for the deliberate descration
OF churches and cathedrals and the
destruction Of private homes and public
buildings; for uncounted murders by
submarines; for the bombing Of hos
pitals; for the atrocities Of poison gas
and flaming vapors that they have in
troduced into warfare; for lying, for in
trigue and treachery; Tor stealing and
footing and wanton destruction-for
thousand crimes Of individuals and OF
the nation, such as the civilized world
never knew OF until introduced by the
modern Hun in his campaign Of fright
fulness.
The Allies are now on the borders OF
German possessions, and when we
shall have carried the war into the
enemy's country we may look forsqueal-
ing loud and long. But there should
be little mercy for these outlawed bar
barians. They must answer to God
and to the armies Of civilization-they
must pay the price of their unparalleled
atrocities.
Inc Kaiser and his people must be
brought to their knees--they must l;ct
AZ 'ne rect Of their conQuerors.

Air Raids Upon Germany

MO more significant reports have come
" across the German frontier than those
telling of widespread uneasiness throughout
the empire a result of the air raids which
the allies have executed against the enemy
munition ccntcrs These stories. reaching
the outside world by way of Switzerland and
Holland, reflect the gravest concern on the
part OF the German people over the damage
already done and that which is expected
once the great American air feet gets into
action.
1t has long been the belief OF leading allied
strategists that Germany will be defeated
by assaults from the air. if defeated at all.
Many OF these military experts have dcspaired
OF breaking through the German lines without
sacrifices which will be utterly CHASTITY. But
the feeling has been somewhat general that,
with 10000 TO 10000 battle planes in COM
mission, the German air defense will not
only be completely shattered. but that the
interior strongholds Of Germany may be
dynamited at will.
1t was with this far-rcaching possibility in
mind that this government undertook to con-
tribute 10000 airpanes to the allied cause,
and set aside almost billion dollars for that
purpose. To that end, half Of the great auto
mobile manufacturing plants in the United
States began the building of aircraft; a score
or more OF flying schools were established and
more than $4,000 men placed a the disposal
OF the signal corps. This great piece Of war
machinery is now operating under forced
pressure and by spring American aviators
Will be fighting alongside the Frenchman and
the Englishman for the supremacy of the air.
once that supremacy is achieved we NAV
confidently assume that the beginning of the
end is in sight, Once the German armies are
unable TO combat the allied forces above the
clouds, the German armies will be bereft of
their sight. They will be cropping in blind
ness. unable to advance and fearing to
retreat. Then will come carnival of bomb
throwing not only upon the enemy troops in
the field, but upon every munition plant
within reach of the aviator
Reports have como concurrently from diff
1crent sources in Germany TO the effect that
the utmost difficulty is even now being expe-
rlenced by the German government in keen
ing men at work in the great munition works
explosions have occurred in many parts OF
inc empire. Some of them resulted from
accidental causes, no doubt. but others are
attributed by the German people to the air
raids OF the enemy No official reports Of
such raids have been given out but that is
no reason to believe that they have not been
made II the stories of fright which have
reached the outside world from Germany are
even half true, they go far TO SUPPORT the
theory of allied commanders that the air fleets
OF the United States. France and Great Rrit
AIN will do more to win the war than anv
other one agency.
