Victory, Not ''When"
but HOW

r. VEN NOW, some Americans do not
seem to quite realize that this war will
either Prussianize or civilize the world;
that 1T will crush or construct America.
Too many people ask "when" it will end,
instead Of asking HOW victory NAV be
brought to American arms, and doing their
utmost along lines laid down by Mi Nc
Adoo, Mr.. Hoover, Mr. Garfield and other
government experts to make victory GER
tainty
This war will end when America ends it,
IS our belief. Peace plans based on any
thlng short OF decisive victory on the bat
Tic held are but q prelude to another and
even more terrible war Diplomacy, no
more than enemy propaganda, must be
allowed to lull our senses into q false feeling
Of security.
The chief essentials are MONEY, MEN
and FOOD, and furnish these in adequate
quantities is our problem.
1t may take 100000 men; it NAV take
100000 men, it may take more than this.
But what IS the cost compared with the
bondage of 1O0,000000 men, women and
children Of the present age and the people
Of the future generations of this country?
And America does not want (of Europe)
dollar, an acre or an advantage in profit;
but 1t does want security in peace.
Our government wants us to conserve
foods and invest our means in its interest
bearing securities. Could it reasonably, in
times like these ask us to do less? What we
can do we will do-HELP!
Out of this war will rise millions of men
and women who have been taught their first
real lessons of thrift.
THE LITTLE WAR SAVINGS STAMP,
like the Liberty Loan Bond. means moro
than a cheer for the flag. 1t will initiate
our people into the secret work Of prudence
thrift.
And this is what we most need.

PEACE POLICE CRY
Win the War, It's Message to
ASpiraDtS for Office

New York, July 26.--The League
to Enforce Peace has tossed its hat
into the political ring, although it's
officers take pains to state that the
campaign is absolutely non partisan.
The league has addressed a letter
to democratic and republican leaders
in Connecticut, beginning with the
national committeeman and state
chairmen and including the members
of the state executive committee and
the county chairmen. This letter
urges that the political conventions
held this summer and fall pay at
tention not only to winning the war
and making the world safe, but to
keeping the world safe by stacking
German military despotisn forever.
1t urges the insertion In every con-
vention platform of a plank favoring

the entrance of the United States
into League of Nations to Safeguard
the Fruits of Victory"
w. r. Boyd, Jr., the young Texan
who recently came to New York to
be the Leagues National Campaign
manager, pointed out today that the
League of Nations movem ent is far
too big to be partisan because it is
of political world reconstruction to
which practically every important Al
lied leader Is committed. It's lead
ing opponents in this country he
said are a democratic president and
q republican ex-president-Mr. Taft
not to mention former candidates for
the presidency on both democratic and
republican tickets-Alton 3. Parker
and Charles e. Hughes.
AS q war platform the league asks
every convention in the state to
adopt the following:
we declare that it is the supreme
task of the civilized world to crush
the insolent attempt of German au-
tocracy to substitute a military die
tatorship of self government and the
right of independent thought. The

victory, and We demand victory so
complete and conclusive that military
ambition will be forever silenced and

J peace secured that will make an
end of war. The world must be
kept safe by the cooperation Of the
force should be organized by a
league of nations to keep the peace
Of the world And we favor the en-
trance OF the United States, after the
war, into such a league of nations as
may be adequate to safeguard the
peace that must be won by the joint
military forces of the Allied nations"
In his letter to the republican and
democratic leaders Camp aign Man
ager Boyd says:
Each Of the two major political
parties at their last national con-
ventions adopted a plank in their
respective platforms favoring the
participation of the United States in
internationally organized machinery to
preserve the future peace of the
world--in other words-a league Of
nations to enforce peace.
The president of the United States
favors this idea. Ex-President Taft
leads our organization in a campaign
to make the idea g. reality. Already
sixteen state legislatures have adopted
concurrent or joint resolutions OF ap-
prevail. The declared purpose Of this
ORGANIZATION is to burn into the soul
of American manhood and woman
hood the consciousness that the
world must be made safe for democ-
racv by the defeat OF Germany and
German rnilitarisn; that it must be
kept safe by league of nations These

there is only one way. It lies through

There are men in this camp from
all parts of the country, and they
bring with them jokes from their sec.
tion Of the u. s. A. Most of these
fell Of the hatred of the races in the
south. Although some are very much
exaggerated. yet they are worth re-
cording.
One boy tells the following story of
the rural district Of east Mississippi:
zone day was walking down a track,
and noticed an old Negro fastened to
4 plow. 1 asked him what he was do
ing there in the rain pulling a plow.
He told me that for years he and
Beck, his boss mule, had pulled that
plow over that field, but, as it was
raining that day, the mule had been
left in the stable, and he had to pull
the plow alone" He also tells that in
certain parts of the south it is against
the law for black mule to kick
white mule. Another man added
that in the part of Georgia from
which he had come, when Negro man
passed a white mule on the street he
had to say, Good morning, Mr.. Mule.
A boy from Ohio tells this story OF
his experience in Cordwood, S. c.: 1--WE
were in the Barnum & Bailey band
wagon. All of us were dressed in red
suits trimmed with green, and were in
a gilded wagon. Soon a number OF
pecks congregated around us. One
of their number said: "Say, you
shines will have to come down out OF
that gold wagon. We won't ride IN
them and we are not going to let you
shines ride in them. And another
thing, you will have to take off them
good LOOKING clothes, and take them
gold horns ont Of your mouths. They
dressed US IN jeans and put US IN an
old wagon, telling us that we could
play, but not those gold horns,
