,that have preceded us. The great
est inheritance that we can leave our
children is the spirit of democracy
and the national idealism which we
ourselves received.
The victory of the Germans means
the collapse of those ideals in pub
lie life. that we have cherished since
the foundation OF our country. By
refusing to make the sacrifices, both
in men and blood, that all the rest
of the world is making we fail in
our duty to the next generation.
The nation which definitely fails in
the consummation OF moral obliga-
tions, regardless of the sacrifice in
volved, has taken the first step to-
ward ruin and decay. We shall not
win this war without huge sacrifices
.of every sort 1t is futile to minim-
ize the strength OF our enemy.
1t is necessary that every indiyid-
ual in this country feel a personal
and direct responsibility to the is
sue of this war. A country is strong
and endures in the direct degree in
which the individuals, composing
that country feel personally the
burden OF public duty. If the men
and women OF this country appre-
ciate and realize what is the issue
lat stake and understand that, only
by his or her individual and person.

)icion, as i'll the case OF butter, that
carries the germs of disease.
In spite OF all the restrictions
placed q the sale OF oleomargarin,
the statistics OF its manufacture
show an increased demand Tor the
product during the past year, repre-
sented by an output Of nearly 235,-
100000 pounds. IS it not high time
to ask whether indifference to the
needs OF the general public shall con
tinue to be maintained by special
class Ii the Legitimate substitutes
for butter were allowed to come into

Qualified, not only would reduction
OF living expenses become possible
thereby, but also the price OF milk
and cream ought to be decreased be
low the rapidly approaching prohibi-
tive point.
1t is doubtless true that the fats
Of milk carry a desirable amount OF
growth-promoting yitamin which
the oleo oils manifest only in lesser
degree, and which the vegetable fats
seem to lack entirely. No one as
serts that butter and cream should
be excluded from the ration. All
that can be asked in fairness is a
repeal OF the odious discriminatory
taxes that tend to prevent the other
fats from competing with butter on
fair terms. II the necessities OF war
succeed in doing this, they will
merely right wrong that has long
offended fair-minded students of nu-
triton.

We are working for exactly the
same ends as the United States citi-
zenS are trying to attain. We ought
to have a most friendly interest in
each other, and believe that with
a few exceptions such is the case.
There are great many things
which serve as handicapS for our
work, but we are getting along quite
well at that. Some people who eth
er are misguided as to facts, or else
are seeking something for an ex-
cuse without any particular regard
for the soundness OF their grounds,
attack the British Mission by max
ing the claim that England is not
doing her full part in the war.
! would be much pleased ii all
such would read the recent article
in Vanity Fair touching that point,
Whatever military successes
have been won by the allies in this
war, no benefit OF permanent char.
acter could have been achieved had
it not been for the British navy
English forces are now fighting
on many fronts-in Flanders, in
Italy, in Saloniki. in Mesopotamia,
at the Suez, in Palestine, in East
Africa, and with the Russians in Ga
licia. In August OF last year Eng
land had 100000 men at the
French front alone. OF these, l,670,-
900 were from the British Isles :;
10000 from Canada; 10000 from
Australia; 1900 from India, and
5000 from South Africa. There were
100000 holding Great Britain, and
100000 reserves TO replcnish the
10000 weekly losses.
The charge that the Canadians
and Australians are getting more
than their share OF the fighting in
Flanders is concisely answered by
the following figures for the recent
prolonged offensive in the Ypres
sector, given out by General Mau-
rice, OF the British war office, on
Oct. 4th.
The troops which have been en-
gagged in the fighting front from
July 5lSt to the present are COM
posed as follows: British (English)
70 per cent Colonials 10, Scottish
8, Irish 8. The casualties in the
same period are distributed as fol
lows: British 70, CoIonials 8, Scot
tish 10, Irish 3.

What The Victory or Defeat
of Germany Means To America

Contributed by Stanley Washburn
to the National Security Leagues
campaign OF Patriotism Through
Education.)
There are number of factors
which make for progress and pros
perity in modern society. Econom-
ic, industrial and scientific develop
ment contribute largely to the for
ward movement of civilization. Ma
terial wealth and the increase OF
rade and commerce are important
elements in the growth and develop
ment of nations. But there are 9TH
er factors which are more vital.
These are not in the same degree
concrete and manifest. They are the
factors which involve ethics, NOR
ais, humanity and justice and are
as potent and elemental in the rise
of nations as the law OF gravitation
in the world OF physics. This is not
question OF idealism bur ques-
ion OF practical policy learned
Trough twenty centuries OF history.
The race or individual who ignores
these laws, more fundamental than
he material, is doomed
The victory of Germany in this
world war would mean primarily
that the greatest fallacy in world
thought had been vindicated by sue
ISess. That fallacy, briefly stated, is
he point OF view that declares might
. be right, and that asserts the
means justify the end, and defends
he doctrine that the suitable aim
and ambition OF a nation is its ma
terial development which must be
carried forward regardless OF all the
avs OF humanity and righteousness.
We in America, have received
from our fathers and fathers faith
ers government based on idcalism.
1t has been purchased by the self
sacrifice and blood of millions OF
men and women in the generations

That's jes' the word that a toiler'll

They glimpse the fish on the hungry
