The Aim shows the activities OF our
troops abroad in every line of endeavor;
it depicts simply but none the less with
striking emphasis just what America
has done in France during the last year
and just what is being done now. Pic
lures somehow bring the war down to
the basis of the personal equation, and
while there Is one thrill at reading Of
the gains made by United States troops
along the Rheims-Soissons salient there
are a score or more thrills at seeing the
same troops going into action and see

Creel Explains Purpose.
Mr.. Creel said that the purpose OF the
films was to aid in the campaign Of driv-
ing home TO everybody the progress OF
the United States and he added that the
answer OF the nation does not come
through any one class or by any single
endeavor but through united effoCt.
Sacrifices at home are necessarily
small compared to the sacrifice Of giving
ones blood and life itself as the SOL

pointed out.

that the task on the whole had been
creditably performed.

The Slavery of Austria

from the New Republic.
 What Austria Hungary is to get o,,t or the compact with the Kaiser is nnlli- tary support. not, as in the case of the old Austro-German alliance against Rus- sra or any other foreign country hft against the insurgent forces at home For sometime at has been plain that inc German and Magyar sections Of the dual empire could not much longer hold in subjection the Czech, Jagoslav and Latin nauonalists. Left to herself the dual empire would have to face seriously the alternatives of liberalization or dissotI- ton. Federation would imply the ulti- mate political predominance of the Slavic clements, who in another half century will constitute a decisive majority of the population, And even so it may be that the opportunity of solving the Austro- Hungarian problem of federation has lapsed. If then the Germans and Mag vars of the empire wish to retain their old political privilege. they must com mend themselves to the German Kaiser as weak barons of the middle ages com nended themselves to the greater lords But this is the end of Austro-Hungaria bnrgs, once confident of his destiny to rule the world, falls to the rank Of a subject state. The central European po- litical unit comes into existence not by mutual consent, as Naumann proposed but by Germanys S conquest of her allies. How long the central European unit will endure. however, depends upon the course Of events on the western front
