HOW VICTORY WILL BE WON
National Determination to Put Every
Ounce of Strength Into Righteous
Cause VIII Bring Triumph.

Suppose we send 10000 bombing air.
planes over Germany. They alone will
not win the war. Ten thousand or
fifty thousand tanks alone will not win
the war. A thousand land battleships
or g thousand other fearful land cruis-
ers alone will not win the war. Rain
ing death and destruction upon the
civil population as a rule has only one
result: 1t inflames the people to
greater deeds, to greater sacrifices, to
greater hate, to greater determination
to win the war. France, England and
Italy are shining examples of this. No,
any one invention is not likely to win
the war. Some day, perhaps, someone
will invent an atomic ray which is
capable of pulverizing whole regiments
at a stroke. Nothing of this sort is
impossible. But it is not very prob
able. Rather it is the whole-hearted
devotion Of the nOf1combatants to
great and just cause that will win the
war. The nation that can throw into
the scales the greatest amount of war
implements, the heaviest weight of
metal, the greatest amount of fighters,
coupled with prodigious use of all of
the best war inventions, will win in
the end-providing that every man and
woman behind the lines constantly
thinks and dreams of war and victory
and is prepared to put every last ounce
of strength as we'll as all worldly be-
longings iato the righteous cause with
out stint or restraint. The greatest
war invention is the fiery, undying will
to win.-Electrical Experimenter.

GERMAN AIR PROTEST LATE
Berlin Plea Recalls Raids on open
Towns and Hospitals in France
and England.

Washington, Nov. 6.-ActiOn of the
German military forces in the past i'll
conducting air raids on defenseless
towns in France, Belgium and England
and on hospitals preclude, in the Opin-
lon Of military and diplomatic Observ-
ers here, the giving of any serious at
tentiOn to a protest made from Berlin
against the aerial operations of the
allies armies. The plea for cessation
of the raids on German towns, deliy-
cred to the state department Monday
through the Swiss legation, declares
that since October 1 German air forces
have been under orders to operate only
against military objects Should SINH
lar directions not be issued by the
allies the German government declares
if reserves the right to renew its aerial
attacks on territory behind the allies
lines.

THINGS TO LEARN IN NAVY
Old Petty Officer Reminds the Recruits
There Are Some Things That
Cannot Be Taught.

The old petty officer in charge Of
the drills drew a deep breath and
looked down the long lines of newly
enlisted apprentice seamen. A few of
the boys were from the poorer quar-
tiers of nearby cities and towns; some
were from the farming districts; but
the greater number were undergradu-
fiocking to the colors at the first in
timation of their country's need, and
all were aStonishingly transformed by
the mere DOMINIC of uniforms and
caps, into potential sailors for the
ships of the United States navy.
The petty officer cleared his throat,
writes Harriet Welles in Scribner's.
Somehow the sunshiny parade ground,
bordered by cheerful yellow brick bar
racks and backed by the sparkling
blue of Narragansett bay and the dis
tant, pointed spires of Newport
churches, seemed too anonymously
peaceful compared with the things of
which he was trying to speak. He
cleared his throat again.
"pd like to remind you, lads" he
said, "that there are some things in
our navy that you'll have to learn for
yourselves. We can teach you the
manual of arms and the drills; and
there are schools here to train you for
any branch of ships work that you
have leaning toward-wireless, cleo
tricity, signal corps, hospital corps,
engineering, cooking and yeOman's
workout what you've got to get, if
you're to be of any real use, is the
spirit of the navy!
Maybe there's those with education
enough to explain that spirit to you.
I haven't got the words. only know
what it means in actions. Summed up,
1t amounts to about this: Aboard ship
there amt no you and there amt no
me; there's just us And we're work
ing together under the flag of the fin
est country on EARTH"

His Autobiouraphy.

In one of the big base hospitals OF
the army not long ago new librarian
was set to work by the American Lii
brary association. She was a very
charming young woman, and very
anxious to please all of her custom
ers," though some OF them didn't even
wish to look at a book. In her rounds
she approached one of the patients
and he declined to be interested in
her wares. At the next cot she stopped
and offered it's occupant book.
whats it about?" the patient
asked.
"Oh,. this is Bambi," said the IL
brarian "It's about a girl who mar
ried a man without his having any
thing to say about it,

who had declined all books. He raised
himself up on his elbow and reached
out his hand. "Give me that book.

Human in Snite of Stars.

A private of the buck species was
watching a plane duel in the skies.
"Quite sight" said voice beside
him. and his head nearly dropped off
when he saw that it belonged to the
general commanding the division.
There is a story in that same divi-
sion about the same general, which de-
scribes how he was seen one day re-
Gently walking along and chatting
with a top sergeant. This shows that
a use has at last been found for top
sergeants.
That division did its share, and paid
its price for the doing, when it helped
to drive the Hun back across the
Marne. That night some one softly
opened the generals door, and then as
softly closed it. And the word went
around that he sat with his face
buried in his hands, and his frame
quivering with sobs.--The Stars and

About Group

If your children are subject to Group,
or if you have reason to fear their be-

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

ditiOns for an armiStice with Germany,

Washington, Nov 6. = Marshal
FOch has been authorized by the Uni
ted States and it's allies to receive rep
resentatives of the German govern
ment and to communicate to them the
terms of an armistice.
The German government is so in
formed in a note handed to the Swiss
minister here by Secretary Lansing.

have declared their willingness to
make peace with the German govern
ment on the terms laid down in Presi-
dent Wilson's address to congress

settlement enunciated in his subse-
Quent addresses.
The allies reserve to themselves,
however, complete freedom of action
when they enter the peace conference
on the subject of freedom of the seas.
It was further stated with reference
to restoration of invaded territory

stand that compensation will be made
by Germany for ali damage to the
civilian population of the allies and

Meanwhile, speculation regarding
the identity of the commissioners
continued without any intimation
from official sources as to actually
who will compose 1t. The lis. today
contained the names of the presi-
dent, Col. House, Secretary Lansing,

of Mr.. Roots nomination continued
to insist that his brilliant legal mind

opposition will have on the president.

M'ADOO COMING SOUTH
TO INSPECT RAILROADS
LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED
IN FISCAL POLICIES
Regardless Of Appointment to
Treasury Post-Control of
Railroads Main Issue.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Mr. Nc
Adoo plans to leave tonight for an
inspection trip of southern railroads,
arranged for more than q week ago.
He will be in Atlanta tomorrow and
later will go through Florida and to
New Orleans, returning to Washing
ton before President Wilson sails for
Europe. M
Mr.. McAdoo walked to his Office in
the treasury at the usual hour this
morning and found his desk piled
high with personal kilograms from
friends throughout the country COM
menting on his resignation.
Mr.. McAdoo said yesterday he had
no idea who his successor might be,
and added that he would make no
recommendations to the president.
Regardless of the appointment to
the treasury post, it Is considered
improbable that there will be any
great change In future fiscal policies
of the government. War bonds Of
short maturities to the sum of about
eight billions probably will be iioated
In 1919, as planned by Mr.. McAdoo
and his treasury advisers.
Before he leaves the treasury Mr..
McAdoo will prepare recommended
tons to congress for legislation to
change the war finance corporation
into O. peace finance corporation"
as he has suggested, thereby permit
ting 1t to finance industries during
the readjustment period. The future
Of the capital issues committee is
uncertain, and the attitude of Mr..
McAdoos successor may have much
to do with its course.
As for the railroads, the new di-
rector general doubtless will have
much to do with the formulation of
policies for future management. Mr..
McAdoo recently indicated that he
had planned to continue consolida-
tions, pooling, short hauling and other
reforms looking to efficient opera
tions, regardless of the fact that the
war emergency Is over.
Opposition to this course now ap-
pears to be developing, and the issue
OF whether railroads are to remain
permanently under government di-
rection and even government owner
ship. or be returned shortly to their
private overs, Is taking form. This
issue is a principal legacy which Mr..
McAdoo will leave to his successor.
Mr.. McAdoo is known to have un-
der consideration the formulation of
a statement of his individual attitude
on what should be the nations policy
toward permanent government man
agement or ownership. His friends
say he leans toward the view that the
government should own the railroads,
but this has not been confirmed by
mis- own public statements.
