Fletcher is the congressional pioneer

introduced the first bill to create an

shipping board. If that bill had been
allowed to pass instead of being talk

no words that can tell how much this
would mean in the winning of the war.

Here is a little lesson in patriotism
which it would be we'll for native born
citizens of Champaign to study.

of thirty-eight Greeks, heads of

they are the proud owners of Third
Liberty bonds from individual pur-

as $50 and thus, the Greek colony To-
caliy stands 100 per cent.
1t is also interesting to know that
every man, woman and child among
them is member of the Red Cross
and has also contributed literally to

1t might also be bit of interesting
news to skim milk patriots to know
that since the declaration of war sew

THE WESTERN OFFENSIVE.

Germany has been checked around
Amiens, but her attack has spread TO
the north and the entire British front
seems to be destined for heavy hgnt-
| ing. This indicates that the Teutonlc
plan of campaign is not only to break
through the allied positions, but, tail-
! ing in this, so to weaken the British
army by long continued assaults as TO
leave the Teutons free for action
against the newly arriving Americans
In other words, if Germany can not
win before America arrives she can
win after that only in the event that
the British and French armies are so
weakened as to be incapable of serious
fighting when the Americans attack.
1t is gratifying to see that while great
gains in terrain have been made, the
British front is intact, the home front
maintains its confidence, and that the
French, British and American troops
are ready to assist each other wherev-
l
err the foe attacks.
Too much Importance cannot be CIV
en- to two things, the appointment OF
supreme commander and the dis
patch of American troops to fill up the
gaps in British and French commands.
As Lloyd George declared the kaiser
told King Constantine, in referring to
the western fighting, 81 shall beat
them, for they have no united COM
mand." That advantage is no more
with Germany.
Another statement of the British
premier lends confidence to the stu
alton. In the last of January the
British staff predicted that the Ger
mans would attack the British on
every wide front, and that it would
be an attack on the widest front ever
yet assailed," and that the attack
"would come south of Arras," and it
was also stated by the military lead
ers of Great Britain that the enemy
might succeed "to the extent of pene-
trating the British line to the. extent
of half the distance of the front at
tack"
These were remarkable statements,
destined to prove exactly true, and it
demonstrates clearly that the British
general staff is on par with the Ger
man staff, and that furthermore, no
great surprise was effected by the
initial German success. The fact that
General Foch, up to this time, has
carefully held up his reserves indi-
Gates that the situation is not yet crit
ical, and the time for an allied coun-
ter attack has not yet arrived.
Confidence in the failure of the
Germans in the west continues I'M
bounded, and the allies should be
stronger today than when the German
assault began, which is more than can
be said for our enemies.

WILSON'S BALTIMORE SPEECH.
The tone of President Wilson'S re-
cent utterances at Baltimore was gen.
orally predicted all over the country.
No sane man could fail to see the DIFF
ference between Prussian promise and
performance after the Illuminating IN
cidents of Brest- Litovsk.
The fastening of American war
plans was not needed to tell citizens
that peace is still afar, and that it is
hardly to be expected without a nil
itary decision. Thus it is that Lloyd

tional aspirations" of France and Italy
are tacitly approved by our nation.

ident exposed the shameless panhan-
ding of Russia, with faultless accura-
cy he drew the conclusion of the dem
ocracies of the west as to their fate
fs-2fussia wins, and with matchless
simplicity he took his stand even now
for a peace in whose terms the small
share alike with the great, but, fail
ing this, he called to the opposition of
German power the strength of the
American people, promising the Teu-
tons "force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world, and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust"

by Irwin S. Cobb, just back from the

"Thc European battlefield has seen no
