How long her life will be for her

With nothing of him but remember

She working still, and Jimmie in his

And now today we're asked again. to

And give, give, give the country what

And toiled to earn. It's hard for all

covernn.n. Control and Shareholders.

Express companies have gone to the govern
ment with suggestion that their business be
taken over for the duration of the war on terms
similar to those adopted for the railroads. Post
master General Burleson has written letter to
the senate, in which he presents reasons for gov
ernment operation of the telephone system within
the District of Columbia. In these propositions
hescongress is fairly faced with the question be-
tween the government and the shareholders, both
sides OF the question being squarely offered. As
with the railroads, so the telephone Is neces-
sity in the work of carrying on the war and es-
pecially is the system in the District of Co.

Young Men for War Service.

Showing determination to organize the
fighting forces of the United States on the most
effective basis, General March has relieved FIVE
commanders OF the grade of major general be-
cause of physical un6tness for overseas service,
Intimation Of this course was had when General
Mann and General Sibert were returned from
France. Its wisdom is unquestoned. Our army
is being prepared for strenuous work under con-
ditions that make necessary the absolute fitness
of each member. Men in high command will be
required to sustain physical strain that will de-
mand the utmost of strength and endurance, and
unless they can measure up to this requirement
they should not 60 abroad. Americans will serve
under conditions much different from other
armies. In France, England and Italy the rigors
of the service have compelled the withdrawal Of
the older men to places Of less importance than
commands at the front. This is not criticism Of
their service, but the inevitable toll taken by
time. War is still game for young men, in
their full vigor and our army is doing we'll to
provide for this condition from the first. Cen
erai March's reorganization Of the high command
will retain the soldiers displaced in positions
where they will be of service and will give to
younget soldiers the harder work in the field.

Japan, Siberia, the Allies and Germany.

Much perplexity seems to surround the prob
lem of Siberia, arising entirely through the
chaotic conditions in Russia. If Russia possessed
even de facto government, one with which
dealings might be had, most of the difficulty
might easily be avoided. Absence of central or
responsible control, the presence of an actively
militant faction which has subjected for the time
the majority, give an appearance of decacy to
any move on part of the friendly powers to re-
lief that involves unlimited entrance onto Rus
sian soil. Opposed to this is the activity of the
German emperor, who regards only his own ad-
vantage and is undeterred by treaty obligations
let alone the niceties of international communi-
cation. As matters stand, unless some step is
taken to prevent Siberia is in danger of falling
under Gernianic control, with consequences sin
lister if not actually dangerous for the United
States and its associates. President Wilson is
understood to have declined to assent to japanese
Intervention because of his policy as exemplihed
in Mexico. II is rather difficult to arrange the
two cases parallel, for the menace in Russia does
not exist so much because OF the conduct of the
Russians as from the course pursued by Ger.

time is of advantage only to our enemy Timorous
diplomacy by Sir Edward Grey lost the Balkan:

Siberia in the same way. Here, as in the Mexican
affair, "watchful waiting may prove costly.

Under Which Flag-Loyalty or Disloysltya

For the special primary in Wisconsin in which
he is seeking the republican nomination for
United States senator to fiji the vacancy, Con-
gresham Lenroot has done precisely the proper
thing in promugating as his platform the one
overshadowng issue OF loyalty as against dis.
loyalty.
So long as the United States is confronted
in arms with foreign enemy, the first considera-
tion in the choice of senator must be undivided
and unwavering allegiance to the Stars and
Stripes
In his announcement Mr. Lcnroot says: II
have but one plank in my platform and that is
loyalty" II there is any difference Of opinion on
this score among Wisconsin republicans as re-
suit Of Senator La Follette's questionable actvi-
ties, this should bring it out and we may as we'll
know now as later the relative strength of the
loyal and disloyal elements Flying the flag Of
loyalty, it goes without saying that Lenroot
wants the votes only OF those who are loyal and
that all who are openly or secretly in sympathy
with the kaiser, or skeptical about Americas VIC
tory, should vote for someone else.
With Lenroot as their nominee on platform
OF loyalty, as he surely will be, Wisconsin re-
publicans will be in position to challenge anyone
the democrats or any other party may put up
And the outcome in the election will be governed
according to which candidate commands popular
confidence in his ability to contribute most to the
winning OF the war.

! ing the peace that will follow only after a
thorough defeat OF our, enemies on the other
side of the water Then may the nation be
filled with the reasonable hope that this year
of our Lord, 1918, will see the end of this
horrible war For Germany is like Bengal
tiger, raging and tearing at the net only the
more desperately as it feels the net more
tightly drawn"
Mr.. Simmonds concludes his review as fol-
lows:
"The German military party, which is in
practically undisputed control, means to at
tempt one more offensive the most gigantic
of all and the greatest military gamble since
| Napoleon went to Moscow If it should
succeed then there will be campaign Of
1919 and perhaps of 1920. Any German vic
tory, large or small, this spring and summer
would mean prolongation of the war, be-
cause it would mean an extension of the
time in which the German military party
would remain in control of Germany.
IF America should now lessen her prepa-
rations, slow down her effort, any German
victory this year might be expanded next
| year into final triumph. We are the last
reserve Of the allies and of civilization. We
must be ready when the hour comes and
the hour may come. If we slacken our pace
even German defeat this year may not
prove the end of the war. brit it seems to me,
save for the possibility of considerable sue
cess by the Germans in the next campaign
or failure on our part to do all that we can
possibly do, the coming campaign will be the
last. --

Germans will win any victory or, indeed, do
better than they did at Verdun, which was
for them one of the greatest defeats Of mill

come down to the naked question of greed
against self-defense And in such a combat
| believe the French will fight again as they
| fought at the Marne and at Verdun, the Brit
ish as they fought at Ypres.
1--WE are, it seems to me, bound to have
one more great military crisis, as great as
that of the Marine, perhaps, although the
Germans will have no such odds in their ia
vor in the spring as they had in the autumn
of 1914 But if the allied lines hold, if the
allied peoples behind the lines stand firm
then it seems to me the last great campaign
of the war will be over l do not believe the
| German army or the German people have the
strength or the spirit to make more than
one further assault like the two of other
years which were repulsed.
IF Germany is defeated III her next attack
we shall have real German proposal for
peace, proposal based upon the peace map
of 1914, not the war map of 1916 or 1917. 1t
will not be satisfactory; it may not even be
basis for negotiation, although believe it
may be-, but it will be proposal honestly
made; that is, it will be unlike the previous
proposals which were made to disarm the
enemy and deceive the German people"
