out of the air. They are looking forward to it also, but with uneasiness and dread instead of enthusiasm and hope. They are bending their utmost energies to meet the menace which is contained by Americas aerial fleets and her great armies. Their military experts realize that an offensive will be launched against them which has never had parallel
 Recent events must have added greatly to this uneasiness Their much-heralded of fensive, both political and military. in Italy has failed of its object of putting Italy out of the war. Russian peace negotiations have failed for the time being at least and possibly permanently The absolute unity of the all lies regarding peace considerations renders futile any hopes they might have had for a break in the alignment of their enemies. To the Hohenzollerns and their tribe, "next spring" must indeed have fateful portent

UNFOLDING THE DRAFT

If any doubt regarding the constitution ality of the selective service draft law of the United States has ever existed, it is now swept away by the decision handed down yes terday by the supreme court of the nation. To make the governments victory all the more complete, the decision returned was unanimously concurred in by all the justices
 In the minds of most Americans, there has never been any question regarding the validity of the law. The principle of equal liability for service has been recognized as basic by every American generation, and to the majority of us, its reafirnation by the supreme court was not necessary.
 It will, however, serve to stop the howl ing of a certain class of obstructionists who have been endeavoring to hinder the work ings of this law by intriguing its followers to demand their constitutional rights and re- fuse to answer draft summons and otherwise defeat the purposes of the government.
 As has been claimed by the government, there was no real ground for the contentious of those opposed to the draft law. These contentious are shown by the court to be nothing more than the workings of the imagi- nations of diseased or perverted minds. Now that this line of activity has been squelched, these minds will probably find other ways of annoyance in keeping with their character
 The decision will not produce any change in the governments policy, as the statute was being fully enforced prior to the ruling of the court. The contentious of its uncon- stitutonality have not been allowed to inter fere in any degree with its operations in any section

PHON 262
KINDNESS INEFFECTIVE

After more than ten months Ot fOrDear- ance, of patience and ong-Suffering, by not only the government, but by the American people as a whole, our efforts to regulate and stop the alien enemy plots are as far, if not farther, from success than at the beginning. There is no conclusion to be drawn except that our motives of kindness toward the mis- taken zeal of those enemy aliens have been mistaken for weakness, and the failure of the government to summarily deal with these ot- lenders possibly interpreted as sign of fear
 By nature the Teuton has no mental at titude from which he can judge the American viewpoint. We Americans are just coming to understand the real German. One of Ger many's leading divines throws some light upon what be- and those for whom he stands, con- siders true German" Says Pastor Baum gartner: "Whoever can not prevail upon him. self to approve from the bottom of his heart the sinking of the Lusitania, whoever can not conquer his sense of the gigantic cruelty to unnurnbered perfectly innocent victims and give himself up to honest delight at this victorious exploit of German defensive power him we judge to be no true German" Part of the creed which is drilled into German youth by official organs says: War is the nobest and holiest expression of human ac- tivity," and again. ''When here on earth a battle is won by German arms and the faithful dead ascend to heaven Potsdam lance cor poral will call the guard to the door and Old Fritz (Frederick the Great), springing from his golden throne will give the command to present arms That is the heaven of Young Germany"
 So strongly has this doctrine of the di- vinity of war; with the German improvements, been drilled into the very lives of Germans, that they are unable to understand the lofty principles of peace which actuate America. It is hundreds of these fanatics which the gov ernment has been trying to control by civilized twentieth century methods. Is it any cause for wonder that these methods have failed when the persons against whom they are di- rected find cause for rejoicing at the drown- ing of small children without any possible chance of rescue
 Only the most stringent methods can be of any avail. To place fine or stick one of the plotters in prison for few months car rles no Warming to them. Another is ready to step in. The discovery by government agents of another nationwide plot of sabot- age by the enemy aliens should be sufficient reason to alter our former course of action. The summary execution of few of the guilty ones would contain arguments which would be understood by the most bood-soaked Ger man patriot in America, or any other country.

THE LIBERTY TRUCK

The Liberty truck, the automobile which has been designed tor the use ot the Amerl- can forces Ill Trance, product Ot the best bralns Ill the automobile industry, IS an illus tratlOn Ot what can be accOmpnShed III Am erica by cooperation.
 England and france have been and still are using trucks of many types. Although the need ot standardization was recognized, the foreign manufacturers have been unable to center their energies upon single machine because of the inS1Stent demands tor maxi mum output.
 As a result of this condition, something more than 2,OOO,OOO parts must be kept on hand to make prompt repairs to the trucks Whenever damaged. The expense, the contu sion and the delay that thus IS occasloneu was responsible tor the demands of tnls gov ernrnent tor standardized machine.
 The best engineers of the automobile in dustry were requested to meet at Washington to tackle the problem. One of them in de scribng the initial meeting said: We were rather awkward and suspicious of each other at first as we got around the table. For twenty years we had been fighting each other in battle of brains and wits and ingenuity to see which could develop something little bit in advance of the other. We had been trained in the atmosphere of concealing ev- erything as far as possible to prevent our com petitors from stealing 1t.
 All these handicaps to cooperation were splendidly overcome When these experts set tied down to the detailed matters before them, they forgot all about their previous battles and threw into the task all the intelligence and experience at their command The result was inspiringly complete. "Why," one of them remarked later, "we have jumped the motor truck by this work three to five years ahead of where it would have been except for our working together"
 Sixty factories today are working on an initial order for 10000 of these standardized trucks. The American army in France, in stead of being compelled to carry 100000 separate parts, will have to carry something like from one-twentieth to one -fftieth of that number.
 Moreover, the Liberty truck is better truck than those in use abroad. It has been declared by experts the best ever constructed. This triumph of engineers was the result of c-operation-the one thing that all Ameri- cans must strive for in order to assure vic tory with minimum of expenditure of life and treasure.
