ST. GEORGES AND AuroMomLrsrs.

q r. GEORGES is a little town. Like all little towns
- It hopes that the day will come when It viii be
Dig one II It is 70 become big one It must do things
TO populsrize itself with the public.
At the present time it has streets which are in such
deplorabe condition that the st thought OF an auto
mobilist who uses them is not MY. am glad am in
st. Georgesw but. MY, I'm sorry I came into St.
Georges and shall be glad when get out Of Itr
Such condition that is bad for town St. Georges
is nice little community. It up OF nice people,

is delightful It s OF the best and most popular
north-and-south AUTOMOBILES routes in our State
But from the instant Sutomoblst strikes the town,
no matter whether he from the north or from
the south, he everything st. Georges except
what IT'S best interests demand that he say; and it is all
due to the deplorabe condition that part Of its street
system which constitutes portion Of the through route
up and down the State.
It may be admitted that che town Is not rich enough
to have stone roadbed. Certainly however t cannot
be admitted that IL is not rich enough in resource and
that should not be rich enough public spirit 10 keep
in repair that short stretch Of dirt road which now links
the good stone roads which are above and below the
town. With an arousIng Of public spirit with the
securement OF grsuitous advice from State Engineer
uphom or County Engineer Wilson, with the econom-
ical Of materials and labor at hand in few days
passing through pretty little ST. Georges would become
pleasure and not torture.
For the sake OF themselves and for che sake OF their
home town. the people Of st. Georges should assert
themselves IN this matter even II they do nothing more
than call into play couple OF teams OF horses road

there is any chance Of a social upheaval
In Germany either now or after the
war unless Germany suffers military de-
feat. And the very worst thing that
our leaders can do for us is TO foster
the idea that the revolutionary Gle
ments in Germany are going to fight our
battles FOR us. Such pleasant hopes
soften our fibre and discourage effort.
There are no signs Of revolution in
Germany today and there will be none
after the war II Germany emerges un-
Deaten. Statesmen and editors who hold
out these false hopes do not know their
uermany. Revolutions do not happen
IN Germany simply because the people
are cOwed by discipline: they do not
happen mainly because the people are
extremely we'll cared for under the Ger
man system, much better than under
our own system. German radicals are
not friendly to many aspects Of the Ger
man social system; but if it wins out
against a whole world in arms they are
going to be loath to change 10 for what
we are pleased TO call greater freedom
Tor the individual. That must be appar-
ent to every reasonable person. We say
we are lighting for democracy. So we
are; but we are also In the war 20 dis
cover whether democracy is worth
lighting for. II we are so badly or
ganized, so unwilling TO make sacrifices,
so lacking In nerve, that we are going
70 admit the impOsslbility Of beating
Germany before we strike a blow, then
our democracy is doomed. Obviously
1t Is not the best system.
The Metropolitan still believes in
democracy, and believes that wa can
beat Germany, but we can not do 1t by
talking and we can not do IL this year.
In spite Of Mr.. Bakers million and a
half men we can give very small mill
tary aid to the Allies this year. Nor
can we starve Germany out. II that
were ever possible IL Is hardly con-
ceivsble now that Russia is open TO cul-
tivation and organization. But wars are
not necessarily won by starvation and
they are never won by talk. They are
won by the brutal process Of killing.
Today France and England can kill
about as effectively as the Germans
perhaps more so. And the forces are
roughly equal now that Russia is com
pletely out Of it. In a war Of attrition
the advantage is slightly with France
and England. Now comes America and

Germany. can stand up against man
power twice as great as her own? She
can not do It.. If we have the courage
and self-sacrl1ee to carry on the war
until our man-power becomes effec-
tive. That will take ships and time.
We can not exert our man-power to
any great extent until 1919 and not fully
until 1920. This is going TO be long

In the meantime the Germans will en-

Z
From the New York Tribune.
Our London correspondent asks
Does America appreciate what Field
Marshal Haig means when he says the
British army has is back to the wall"
10 does not.
IL thinks: "Oh, that's only what Haig
says. 10 cant be as bad as that. Any
how, an Englishman doesn't begin 10
fight until no gets his back to the
wall"
We doubt very much whether the
British appreciate any more than we do
what it means for Haig to say that his
army has its back 10 the wall.
1t means that the British army for
the first time in this war knows what
It is TO be afraid For months 10 had
been studipdly unafraid. 10 stood on what
it believed TO be an "inpenetrable line, 3"
with mountains OF munitions and sup
plies piled up behind It on terrain very
thinly fortified. It was too confident.
The reason an Englishman Is really
dangerous only when his back is to
the wall is that in that position he Is
open at last tO the emotion OF fear
Then he fights, not with his mind,
which was never a fighting instrument,
but instinctively, with all OF his power
Then he is terrible.
What is true of the army is true Of
the people behind, In Great Britain,
as in this country. 1t has been incred-
ihle from tho first that Germany should
ever be able TO win. The emotion Of
fear has been almost unknown. But
20 put itself wholly into war the civil
population. Ike the army, must know
what it is 20 be afraid. Then It will
drop everything else and attend DO the
business Of survival.
