PRESS COMMENT.
MAGNITUDE OF THE WAR.

The number of troops which the
french had at the battle of the Marne III
1914 was about 100000. The United
States has today more than SO,0n
soldiers in France
The staggering proportions 10 which
the war has grown even while 1T has been
in progress are shown by tins comparison
At it's verv opening, in 1914, the magnitude
of the war so far passed anything which
had previously occurred III world history
that the possibility OF its continuance
for more than few months was question:
ed by many good authorities, Probably
none were more confident that IT could
not last long than the worlds highest
military authorities Mt that tune the
leaders of the German Army. Their
expectation of short war WAS based on
the calculation that the blow which they
had prepared was too heavy either To he
borne or sustained for any length oi time.
Yet today, when the war Is within SIX
weeks of It's fourth anniversary, Germany
probably has from three to- four times as
many men in France rs she had IN l9lf-
She has prolonged and increased her citorts
many times beyond the utmost limits
which her very best military minds
thought possible IN 1914
And what Germany has done has been
considerably surpassed 10y what the
Allied nations have done Ia resist and
defeat Germany Vet, so far as the
United States is concerned, our efforts
have only begun Buffalo Express.

JUST FOLKS

THE MEN WHO SAY "YES."

It's easv enough 10 say mo, when

"No" is an easy response to the man who
bcgs for a dime at your door
"No" Is the first word that springs to
your lips when your shoulders are
heavy with care
And somebody needs YOU te help IN n
cause which means extra burdens
to bear
But this is time when there's need for us
all. when sacrifice calls more or less,
And the man that's worth while IL tho
man of affairs, who isn't afraid to
say yes.
Excuses arc easy 10 find in this world,
bit this Is lfe's curious plan
That man never knows just how much
he can do, or when he has done all
he can.
The busiest toiler may do something mora
and often we find that he will,
lie manages somehow the minutes OF life
with some useful service to flll.
For not by the deeds that you've already
done will men know the courage
OF YOU
The tasks of tomorrow are asking YOU
now, how much are you willing tn do3
Can you say that you'v gwen enough to
the cause if still you have some
thing to give?
Can YOU answer them mo. when you re
asked to do more than honor and
freedom shall hve2
II is hard to say yes, when you're weary

SHOULD HELP RUSSIA.

We ought to aid Russia if there is any
way Of doing it That is, we ought TO
aid Russia if it is willing TO resist the
Germans. At present it Is as submissive
to Germany as Austria and Bulgaria
and Turkey are If the Russians won I
resist the Germans they are enemies OF
all the allied nations, and Japan ought
to be allowed. and urged, to occupy as
much OF Siberia as possible.
Whether Japan would stay permanently
in Siberia. or would get out when the
Russians develop some capacity to govern
themselves. is a matter of no sort of CON
sequence at present The need now Is to
prevent Germany from getting any men
or or supplies or help of any sort from Russia
and Siberia Turn the japanese loose in
siberia: we cannot afford to have the
Russian Empire annexed to Germany.
