Grant fastened the end Of the war
of the rebellion by ordering his army
at the Battle Of the Wilderness to
advance at daylight and fight the
enemy wherever they found him. and
by repeating that order day after
day as long as there was an enemy
to be found. Foch seems to have
adopted similar policy or strategy
in the present great battle now being
waged in France Every day his SOL
diers, on some part of the active bat
tie line which has kept extending I'M
til it is now 120 miles in length, are
ordered to advance and find the enemy
and kill him. Every day the enemy
knows that he is going to be struck,
but he can only guess where the
blow is likely to fall, and it is least
likely to fall where he has prepared
to resist it. Foch knows where he
is going to strike and his soldiers at
all other portions Of the line can
rest and recuperate. Not so with
the enemy. His soldiers on all parts
of the line must be in readiness, for
they are likely to be attacked by
superior numbers and obliged to
fight for their lives with but a few
moments of warning. That kind of
campaign followed up week after
week and month after month is suffi-
cient to destroy any army.

outraging and destroying for the pur-
pose of intimidating, did not in

Ito SOW dragons teeth that brought
"a multitude that is ruthlessly rendfng
them. When they crucif1ed Canadian
prisoners, by mailing them to barn
doors, they sowed dragons teeth; they
transformed the Canadians into furies.
When they ravished and destroyed
Belgium and northern France they
sowed more dragons teeth and brand
ed themselves as an outlaw force, as
the enemies Of humanity, and humanity
in every land will help to rid the
world Of those responsible for the doc
trine of "frightfulness."

WHAT THE FEUDAL.MINDED POW.
Err TOLD AMERICANS.

IBy Secretary of Agriculture Houston)
1t was from this feudal-minded,
vain, insolent, and arrogant power,
from the military overlords Of Prus-
STA, that the orders came in Febru-
airy, 1917, to us, to 100,000,00O Of the
freest people in the world. These
orders were the final expression of
Prussian whim: Keep your people
at home" they commanded. "Tie up
all your ships except one. Stripe it
as dictate; let it sail on the day I
fix; send it to the port l designate.
Tell your manufacturers to keep their
products in their warehouses. Let
your surplus foodstuffs go to waste.
Tell your farmers to keep their mil
lions of bales of cotton, their grain
and their meat at home till l order
otherwise. Set aside International
law and accept my law Of necessity
till 1 crush the great modern free
states of Europe. Stand by until
finish with them and then maybe
will attend to you. Although our
spies are operating among your peo-
pie, in Mexico, Japan, and elsewhere,
even while you give hospitality to
our ambassador, and although our
agents are destroying your plants and
our submarines are killing your citi-
zens, stand aside. These are my or
ders."
What would we do about it? What
answer would we make? What ans
wer was there except one? Life is
precious; but not at the sacrifice of
everything that makes it worth while.
National peace is desirable; but not
at the cost of everything that makes

PoRTER'S SUCCESS.

Iowa City Press-Claude Porter, the
Democratic nominee for governor OF
Iowa, has won a notable success and
generous recognition in the verdict
against the I. w. w. at Chicago, in
Guiding the notorious w. D. Haywood,
who for years has been a disturber Of
the peace in the labor world.
1t was an honor for Porter to have
been selected for this important duty,
called as he was from his post as
I United States attorney for the south
ern district Of Iowa. He was chosen
because OF his recognized ability, and
because Of his familiarity with many
phases Of the labor situation through
cases he had tried here.
The convictions secured against the
L w. W. at Chicago are regarded as
Of the utmost importance, as many
similar cases are pending. and 1t Is
well known that Mr.. Porter was
largely responsible for the assembling
and presentation Of the mass Of evi.
dence which made this verdict pos
sible.
Mr.. Porters duties as district attor-
ney will considerably restrict his cam.
paign for the governorship. since his
public duties have first call on his
time and talent. He will In the near
future begin the trial Of the case
against the four prominent Davenport
men, headed by Fred Vollmer, who
were charged with conspiring to bring
to Davenport the notorious Wallace,
now under sentence at Leavenworth
for urging resistance to the draft.
However, Mr.. Porter's eloquent
tongue will be heard in many of the
counties Of the state before the cleo
ton, and it is possible he may be
heard in Johnson county, where he is
strong favorite.
