U. S. WAR POLICY LEADS.

Independence Day has been celebrated in Lon
don if it were an American city, and there
had never been an English King known as
George III. The Stars and Stripes were shown
as the national emblem, and emotionally the
two countries felt as though they had never
been sundered. This is an event of great sig
nifcance, and we hope it will be rightly and
nobly interpreted. America is the determinant
power in the Western Alliance. But the de-
termination is an act of moral more even than
of material force. Hitherto the United States
has led us in policy. She must go on leading
is, and remember, too, the true significance of
her initiative. America came into the war to
deliver a knockout blow to Germany's con-
ception of politics, not merely to lay her armies
i'll the dust. When the first aim HAS been achiev-
ed, the second disappears. 1t is not the mil
ion the two million of Americas men in
arms that is her contribution to the Allied cause
1t is the hundred millions of Americans, who
stand behind them, and the liberating idea
which their President communicated to his
men in arms that is her contribution to coun-
tidy and to the world.-London Nation

SMILEAGE.

On another page will be found an appeal to
the people to provide their friends in camps
with "smilage" books. The appeal is made upon
Q two-fold basis: one an expressed desire from
some Of the boys who are denied the privileges
Of the cantonment theatres for time because
they do not have the money with which to
purchase the books; and the other the conf
dence that there are plenty of people in the
county who will be glad to accommodate the
boys with such a privilege if it is only called
to their attention.
"Smileage," in explanation is merely book
of coupons which are presentable at canton
ment and camp theatres in exchange for admit
tance to the performances there The coupons
represent pure pleasure and diversion for the
boys: those persons who are anxious to do
something for the men in service which will re-
mind of their civil life and take their mind
away 70 ran hour or so from routine matters will
find this an excellent oportunity.
THE WORLD has these books on SALE They
may be secured at the Office. As the appeal
states, the more desirable way is for patrons
TO send the books directly to their friends at
camp But for any who do not have particular
people in mind to whom they would like to send
such books, THE WORLD would be glad to take
the money and forward the books to some rep
resentative men at the camps and ask him to
give them an equitable distribution

A WIDE DIFFERENCE.

What difference" says the Wall Street Jour
nal, between the sons of Roosevelt and the
Kaiser crowd"
Yes, the difference is the difference between
lighters and takers, between honor and dishon-
Or, between the upholders of virtue and the
destroyers of virtue, between men of courage
and honor, who led into battle, heroes ready
TO de- if need be, for humanity, and brutal cow
ards, vino drive into slaughter their brutalized
slaves-in brief, the difference is the same as
that between Heaven and He'll.

A VINDICATION.

The success of Colonel Watson at the polls
a success the exact figures of which are rot yet
available but which are correct enough to pro-
nounce it a decided success,-is vindication
of the principle of recognizing efficiency il the
Governments assistants. The strongest cand-
date, the ablest candidate, the most promising
from productive standpoint has been selected
by his party to make the run for the position
of United States Senator; and we heartily con-
graduate both Colonel Watson and his party
The party as whole will get back &C the can
1idate now for the election Those issues which
have divided the workers will be forgotten in
the effort to win at the election now A good
candidate went down when Mr. Chiffon was de-
deated,-a candidate who had decided ability
for the position, but ability as we had occa-
sion to state during the primary campaign
which was overshadowed by the ability of Mr.
Watson at this particular time
Primary elections have one most excellent
feature about them: they automatically eliminate
party post-primary dissension. The nominee is
SO far as methods go today, the choice of the
party because he is the choice of the majority
Every individual voter has had the opportunity
to express his preference,-and the majority
wins. Under those conditions the entire party
may well get behind the nominee

A WAR CHEST.

AS campaign follows campaign for money toll
support the various war undertakings we be-
come more and more convinced of the wisdom
OF the war chest" idea. By reason of its pur-
pose to provide for all except the sale of the
Government securities, to provide for them in
systematic fashion by combining the probable
allotments and raising the funds to meet them
through single, businesslilSe canvass, the
idea will commend itself to all people who APP
preciate the responsibility of meeting these de-
nands and who would prefer to provide for
them in advance.
The single campaigns coming so closely upon
one another do have the good effect of keeping;
clearly before the people the necessity of Civ
ing, and it might properly be urged that the
combined campaign would not have this fea-
ture. But we are quite certain that what it
might lose IN value that way it would more
than make up for in the impression which would
leave upon the people at the time of the COM
hined campaign. No sensible person would hold,
ON the other hand that the American people are
likely to forget the existence of war during
these days; and for that reason no specific re-
ninder is needed periodically
We thoroughly believe that the people would
prefer knowing what their share of the war
activities support is and would appreciate hav-
ing as much time to prepare to meet their obi
cations as possible The sum does not grow
smaller as the campaigns wait, nor does the in
come increase. 1t is far easier for one to CO.
ordinate his income and outlay if he can count
upon the demands in definite manner
The idea has worked with conspicuous success
in other cities,-with success not only in raising
the amount asked but in the spirit in which the
task is attacked. The business feature of the
idea is the feature which appeals to the people
they are willing to pledge themselves to whole
hearted assistance paying in their money as The
campaigns actually come. They do not give be
yond their means in one campaign and then fal
back upon that an excuse in another cam
pagn.
We believe the idea capital one, and rcac
teable one; and we should heartily support an!
effort to launch such a campaign in PerkeIe,
County.

AND GETTING THEM!

This isn't true story, but it's a favorite with
The wags up front, according to the Stars and
Stripes:
A German prisoner was being questioned and
the quiz finally led to the why's and wherefors
of the war. He was asked if he realized the
great cause for which the allies were fighting.
Certainly he said. 1.-THE Italians are fight
ing to whip the Austrians; the French are fight
ins, for their country; the British are fighting
for the seas and the Americans are fighting for
souvenirs

POSSIBLE To LOSE TIE WAR OVER H(EII}}IE::
AS the Stay-at~Home Army Thinks and Feels, So Does the
Array at the Front. The War Must First be Won
Over Here

Did you kr wv that the war could be
lost over here as easily. or more so,
as over there? While the actual fight
Ing takes place On the fields OF France.
most Of that which goes into the
fight, to win Or lose it, takes place
over here.
There are hundreds Of ways in
which America can lose cat in viii
ming the war and 80 per cent of these
are dependent upon those who stay
at home. The s~tay-at-home army
largely determines whether the army
at the front loses or wins. In the
first place, the soldiers over there
must have supplies and must have
these in sufficient quantity and quail
1ty to make them the most efficient
fighting men possible. They mrst
nave clothing of the proper texture
summer and winter to protect them
n yet not cucumber them. They
must have mental and moral recrca-
ton, but above all else, they must
nave that courage OF the soul. known
as morale, that from the peo-
pie at home.
AS the army feels over here, so it
Feels over there. AS strong as grows
its determination to win over here. so
determined are they to win over
there. Whatever is done, said or
felt owe here has its effect over
there. Therefor, it behooves every
American citizen, American soldier
that he himself is, as ready to max
sacrifices as to expect it of them, and
that he himself is, as ready to make
OF the Government as they who gave
up their homes. and loved ones and
offered themselves to their country's
cause.
Probably the greatest call that has
come to the people OF this country is
to save and serve. Every individual
has been called ON to practice econ
cmy and refrain from spending money
for things not essential to health and
efficiency, not only that the Govern
.ment may have all surplus money to
finance the war but that labor engag-
ed in the making Of these things may
he released for making material need
ed to win the war. The person who
does without, who saves his money
where he used to spend it, who makes
personal sacrifices for his country's
sake, is indeed To-Day the real, true
patriot. He is rendering a service in
] eeping with that of the soldier at
the front. On the other hand. he
who is selfish and insists on living as
he did before the war, who critjctses
the Government, who has not time for
var work, who needs no call of the
Covernment,-he is a greater enemy
tan the Hun across No Mans Land.
u fact, if America loses in the war it
