THAT FRIZEFIGHT

Our beloved sons, brothers, husband, sweet
hearts, by the thousands may be filling the she'll
holes of war-torn France with their life-blood.
Other thousands may roll, scream, plead in agony,
upon the hospital cots over there. The lines Of
corpses Of our boys may be Of horrible length.
Hate may so rage, Death so reap that even mercl-
less Mars shall cry "Enough!'
But 1t this distance one cannot see the blood
run or the bodies sCiIen, or smell the peculiar door
of the carnage, or gloat on human suffering and
defeat In Short one canont fully enjoy the horror
and torture there's so much lacking to satiate the
Hun that's in one.
So, on our next glorious national birthday an
niversary, July 4, prizefight for the heavyweight
championship is staged: If enough blood runs,
lit will be satisfactory. If one Of the contestants
is beaten so cold that he canot arise while one
counts ten it will be complete success. With
out either of these, it will be fizzle and no man
in the audience with one particle of the real Hun
in him but will regret the price of admission ne
paid. The excuse for it is that 1t promotes the
manly art of self-defense is conducive to the phys
ical vgor of our youth. The boys in Europe fight
ing and dying in the manly art of defending moth
ers' honor children's lives and human rights must
share, for weeks, the press attention, the public
concern with Mr.. Fred Fulton, who is guaranteed
$50, 900 for taking the blows Of Mr.. Jess Willard,
who is guaranteed rs per cent of the net profits of
the show.
On July 4, many of US who have been on wheat
less meatless heatless, sugarless days without a
whimper, will have paid our income tax Our chill
'dren will have put every cent they could beg or
earn into War Thrift Stamps We will have dug
deep for third Liberty Loan bonds, We will have
pinched and scraped to the bone and, maybe, taken
the very marrow from the bone to help out the
glorious Red Cross, Ordinary taxes, higher bread,
higher meat, higher shoes, higher everything,
it's only Trust in Cod with many Of u.s. And
the empty hands grope for more to sacrifice and
give that the heroes in the trenches may not go
cold and hungry while facing death tor Americas
sake.
Twenty thousand dollars for Prize-fighter Full
ton; Is per cent Of the receipts for Prize-fighter
Willard! It is 50 written in the bond And along
comes the U. S. government for which those boys
in Europe suffer and die, for which we all pinch
and save, and asks cent for every 10 those prize
fighters take in! .'.r.' - :. Z, =.
Under the income tax law, prize-fight is
taxed, as "a public performance for profit, ten
per cent of the admission price: Before July 4,
1918, congress should put prize-fights in speci-
fled class by themselves and raise the tax to 50
per cent or more Of the admission fees. We hope
| to see a member Of congress brave, sensible and
patriotic enough to put such a measure through.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE SELF-SATISFIED ENEMY

The reports of the reichstag and reichsrath
meetings at Berlin and Vienna respectively, show
the enemy governments basking in the warmth of
general congratulation over their peace with the
Ukraine and their prospect Of successfully coercing
Petrograd. The Polish indignation against the
allotment of slice of Russian Poland to the
Ulllanan republic seems to be slightly mitigated
by the promise OF a Polish Ukrainian commission
to report on the precise delimitation of the new
frontier. The promise clearly does not amount to
much and the keenness of the Ukrainians to re-
tain what they have been given may be inferred
from Herr Won Kuhmann's declaration that with
out it they could not have been induced to sign
peace. The new offensive to coerce Great Russia
evidently excited misgiving at first especially in
Austria; but the prompt and abject surrender Of
Lenine and Trotzky and the great hauls Of booty
made by the advancing German troops seem to be
fast dssipating it. Already at Dvinsk the Ger
mans claim to have taken hundreds of guns, which
will presumably appear next on the western front /;
and our special correspondent, DR.. Williams, ex-
presses the fear that Reval may yield them even
richer spoils. The arrogant and cocksure tone Of
Herr Won Kuhlmann before the reichstag may be
proftaby pondered by those who fancy that Prus-
sianism has as yet been chastened by events

BOLSHEVIKS' PROMPT SURRENDER

The Germans seem to nave gagged the Boil
sheviks very accurately. Twenty-four hours of a
German offensive, which captured Dvinsk and
Luck without opposition, have resulted in an
abrupt climb-down by Lenine and Trotzky. They
have issued manifesto, in which they say that
their government REGARDS itself as forced to de-
clare formally it's willingness to sign peace upon
the conditions which have been dictated by the
delegations of the quadruple alliance at Brest-
Litovsk" These conditions, according to Mr..
Trotzkys report to his central executive council Of
Soviets, included "disguised indemnities" (prob-
ably disguised as reimbursement for the cost of
prisoners maintenance) to an amount of eight to
ten milliards of roubes or lat the prewar rate of
exchange 800 to 1000 millions sterling). They
also, of course involve recognition by the Bolshe-
viks of the German and Austrian annexations in
Poland, Courland, Esthonia, and Lithuania After
all the sonorous protests, that Bolshevism would
never acquiesce in such iniquities, not even the
farce of "non-recognition" now remains. We mag
inc that the central powers will grant formal
peace under these circumstances; but must not
be assumed that their forcible Intervention in
Russian affairs is at an end. They will probably
give it as far as possible the shape of a response
to local invitations. Thus their interventions in
Finland and the Ukraine may be expected to go
forward till the Red Guards are driven out of those
territories; and any similar invitation received
later from the Anti selshfyk dekcss in Great Rus

Inc laSL week III eUludly, OeC4oVoAy Oone. AZ
sned a statement to the effect that American
airpanes then were en- route to France i've
months ahead of schedule.
The second week in March, there was issued
from Washington the following authorized state
ment as to aircraft production: :.
"All immediate requirements for train
ing planes having been met the number OF
fighting planes delivered will mount rapidly
each month, Before the middle of April,
shipments of combat planes will be moving
by carloads, and by the middle of May they
will be moving by trainloads There is every
reason to expect that before midsummer
our supplies of planes in France will more
than provide machine for each trained
aviator we can have and that by late sum-
our machines in France will almost double
the present total of German, English,
French and Italian machines combined"
General Wood returns from the fighting front
and testifies that our boys practically without
airplane protection.
Senator New member of the senate military
committee, testifes that instead OF delivering
$4,000 combat airplanes in France by July !, we
will be able to deliver 81; that we hadn't one single
man planes are attacking our boys so low that the
latter are trying to beat them off with revolver
fire.
Senator Lodge, another member Of the military
affairs committee, declares that we have no heavy
guns in France, save few old coast guns.
Senator Johnson, with a son in the expedition
ary forces, rises to demand "pitiless publicity in
this matter He is absolutely right. Every father
with son, every wife with husband in uniform
demands it.
This time the counter-charge Of partisan poll
tics will not be accepted by the people as genuine
