Important to Subscribers

Herald subscribers are earnest
ly requested to compare the dates
printed after their names on the
wrappers or margins of the paper
with the dates in their subscrip-
ton receipts; and if they find that
the dates are not the same, report
to this office at once. Sometimes,
an error occurs in the printed
dates or in the book list, and it
causes us to send a bill to a sub
scriber who has paid up, which is
very embarrassing to our book
keeper, as he is ashamed to be
caught in an error.
We began last week mailing
bills to fully hundred subscrib-
ers, whom the lists show are in ar
rears, and we are sure it is not
to urge them to pay up.
They know as well as we do the
great need of money at this time
to meet the increased cost of ev-
particularly taxes, pay
ment of which is now due and
cannot be evaded.
We hope it will not be necessary
hereafter to send out subscription
bills, for the increase in postage is
prohibitive. By looking at the
date after his name, every sub
scriber will know when his time
expires, and he should remit with
out waiting for a bill to be sent
him.

MILITARY PROGRESS

So much attention has been paid to the various de-
fects that have come to notice concerning the progress Of
our military preparations that there has been a tendency
to, overlook the really. remarkable and gratifying things
that have been done. That there have been defects goes
without saying. Some Of them have been glaring, and
perhaps inexcusable. But notwithstanding all the defects
we have been making real progress. We have in France
forces are in actual control Of more miles of front than
are occupied by the Belgians. Many thousands Of our
soldiers are brigaded with British and French troops, and
are playing their part most capably in the great drama.
Further, there has been formed in France the first field
army of American troops. and this force numbers zoe, 900
men, a force Of no mean proportions. @
If something similar to these things had been under
taken in our own country it might be possible to account
for it on the theory that in order to make an impression
on public opinion the authorities were going through GER
tain forms and creating organizations which, while per-
haps numerically strong enough, were imperfectly train
ed and inadequately equipped. Such a supposition cannot
be entertained under existing conditions.
In France we are not acting independently. General
Foch is in supreme command OF all the Allied forces in
that country. In constant conference with him are the
high officers of the French and British armies, as we'll as
our own General Pershins. Great Britain and France
realize that this war is no pink tea affair. They know
that it is a struggle to the death. They know that every
point on their line must be made invulnerab!e. and that
they must not only be able to resist successfully the great
est effort that the Germans can put forth, but that we
must, be prepared, when the Germans have exhausted
themselve7 sufficiently in futile efforts. to take the often
sive and drive it home.
No American force will be entrusted with the work
Of guarding a yard of line unless in the opinion of the
supreme command that force is adequately equipped and
fully competent. There is too much at stake to permit
the slightest degree of laxity in order to pay a compliment
to a friend. Hence we may rest assured that when Amer
lean soldiers are assigned to important duties in critical
positions, and that when they are permitted to organize
a separate army of 200. 900 men ready for action, it is be-
cause they are fit and ready, down to the last shoe LACE
and the most minute item Of discipline.
