Force Alone to Decide.

Germany has once more said that
force. and force alone, shall decide
whether justice and peace shall reign
in the affairs of men, whether right as
onceives it or domion as
she conceives it shall determine the
destinies of mankind. There is, there
fore, but one response possible from
us. Force, force OF the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force that shall make
right the law of the world, and cast
every selfish dominion down in the
dust

THE LISTS GROW LONGER

One by one the names of the killed
and wounded come home to us-names
Of our boys who went out so jauntiy
ried under its surface serious sens
of duty and responsibility, the hope
fulness and courage of youth prevent
ed sadness and depdession Each one
knew that some among them would
not come back, but such thoughts were
not allowed to cause gloom. And now
the list begins of those who are not
to return.
England and France have been re-
ceiving their lists for three years un-
til now there is scarcely family in
either country which has not lost one
of its members, some of them all of
their men. 1t is the same in Carada,
which is mourning for its sons, but
which is bravely sending others when
the call comes. Never was such de-
termination known, never such unflag-
ging patriotism, such readiness to do
or die for the cause of freedom. New
er was such noble endurance of loss,
such suppression of natural grief.
1t has been all the more remarkable
since France ard Gseat Britain and
Canada had long enjoyed the softness
of peace, they were not warrior ma
tions; they had soldiers, but they were
soldiers who did not seriously look for
war. But underneath all the softness
was the invincible spirit of men who
cannot be subdued to oppression and
tyranny or to submit to repass upon
the sacred rights. England knew and
France knew and Canada knew what
fate would be theirs if Germany should
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-04-25

win and men and women all over those
lands sternly put aside personal
weakness and Offered themselves for
service or gave their dearest into dan
ger and held back the tears.
Americans are facing the same prob
lem. They know that if Germany is
victorious this country will thereaf-
ter need to be forced on guard; that
their harbors will need to be defended
as never before; that stupendous and
ominous military establishment must
be maintained without relaxation; that
we shall have to be constantly ready
to defend ourselves against a power
full, unscrupulous and brutal enemy
bent on obtaining world power
We are not in France to defend de-
mocracy in the broad sense only. We
are there to defend our own democracy
and so it is that the fathers and moth
ers of soldiers sons who realize this
are steeling themselves to bear with
courage whatever blow may come,
knowing that the peril to their cOun-
try is great. The tragic list will grow
longer as days go by and many hearts
will grieve, but they will draw COM
fort from the knowledge that they and
theirs have done what they could and
that it is better to die for the glory
of their country than weakly to sue
cumb to ignoble peace.

IN WAR TO FINISH

The magnitude of the task of sup
plying our government the requisite
funds is indicated by the fact that ac-
cording to the best estimates the ag-
gregate Of the annual incomes Of the
people of this country does not exceed
forty billions of dollars, while our an
nual war expenditures will not be less
than fifteen billions of dollars. 1t is,
therefore, obvions that, so long as the
war lasts, we must transfer to the
Government each year rot less than
one fourth. very likely one-third, pos
sibly one-half, of our individual in
comes.
From this very stubborn fact there
is no possible escape except by aban-
doning the war or by reducing our con-
tribution to it in men and equipment
to such a degree as would result in its
abandonment by our allies, alterna-
tives to which no red -blooded Ameri-
can will give moments consider

OUR OBLIGATION

The speech of Premier Lloyd George
in the British House of Commons on
the question Of the Man Power bill!
now pending, should be read by every
American. and read carefully. There
is much in this speech to give us seri
Gus thought.
Mr. Lloyd George practically admits
that Great Britain is making little if
any headway toward winning the war,
and that England is nearing the limit
of her resources in men. The bill pro-
poses to call men of 80 and boys of 1S.
The speaker is careful to state that
not all the older men will be sent to
the front, but that they are needed to
take the places of younger men who
can participate in the fightingA
In this emergency, Americas duty
is plain. We can no longer sit back
and wait for the allies to stop the Ger
man hordes. We are vitally interest
ed as they, and have as great stake
in the final outcome as any one of the
European nations.
Certainly no person OF average IN
tclligence could doubt for moment
that the fate of America is now indi-
solubly linked with that of the allies.
Certainly none can doubt that an allied
defeat would prove staggering blow
to American progress and American
prosperity, if not to her very existence
as free nation.
America must win the war Her
power must be the added force that
shall turn the scale in favor of the al
lied cause. To that end all her i'm
mense power must be exerted. Presi-
dent Wilson has assured our allies
that our armies will be rushed to
Europe as fast as it is humanity posi-.
BILE to put them there.
But while our fighting men are has
tening to the fray, there is also her
culean task for every man, woman,
boy and girl who, remains at home

Ireland is untrue to herself. For
centuries the term "Irishman" has
stood for all that was gallant, brave,
loyal and true. That she should re-
fuse to bear her share in the great
world conflict, when the very principles
for which her history has been one
long contention are trembling in the
balance, is inexplicable. 1t is sin
cerely to he hoped that she will now &C

An investigation is being made by
Chief of Police Harry A Ort into the
status of John Mario, who claims he
is Finlander and who was taken in
to custody here about noon when he
applied to police headquarters stat
ing that he was looking for work.
Mario looks as if he is in the draft
age and Chief. Ort began to examine
him. The foreigner said that he was
native of Finland. In a short time he
contradicted himself by giving two
names and Chief Ort thought it best
to look further into his case.
The man produced a passport from
Canada into this country which he
carried on his person. The passport
was issued on July 10th and was good
only for one month for a visit to the
United States. Thinking that the man
might have come into the United
States in order to escape conscription,
Chief Ort ordered the man locked up
and Immediately took the matter up
with the Federal officers, who in turn
will look into the matter with the
Canadian officers.
Pending this investigation Mario
will be detained here.

There is no more serious actor in
pictures today than Harry Carey, who
makes his net appearance at the Pas
time Theater Today in "a Woman's
Fool" His forte when on the legiti-
mate stage was out-and-out melodra-
ma. But since the war started he and
his director rave never accepted a
story for production which has not
yet been relieved by almost as much
comedy as drama. That is policy
which is a double effect 1t height
ems the effect of each. "a Woman's S
Fool" is a frankly dramatic subject,
but the comedy relief is so cleverly
interjected that you can call it dra-
ma or comedy, whichever you pre-
fer. Special at the Pastime today.

MASON DOCTOR ON
TORPEDOED Ship;
ESCAPES INJURY
Relatives Are Advised That DIR. Clay
pool, Formerly of Washington,
Was on Boat TOrpedoed-
Thought to Have Been on
the Mt. Vernon.

Relatives here and in the county
have just received a cablegram from
DR.. j. II. Claypool, formerly of Mt.
Olivet and later Of Warrington, this
county, who is now in a London hos
pital, morning them that he was very
recently on board an American steam
ship when she was torperoded but
was minjured and is now we'll and
safe in England.
DR.. Clapool several months ago vol
unteered and was commissioned in
the United States army. For the past
several weeks he has been accom-
panying wounded men from Europe
to America and practising on board
ship.
With the cablegram from DR.. Clay
pool telling of the ship upon which
he started across being torpedoed,
comes the announcement from the
War Department Of the torpedoing of
the steamship Mt. Vernon, former
German vessel upon which thirty-five
men lost their lives. 1t is believed
here that the Mason county physician
was aboard the Mt Vernon.
Senator ]. Ham Lewis, who is re-
turning from a trip abroad was a
passenger on the Mt. Vernon but no
one was injured or killed eXcept fire
men and workmen below and the boat
was able to get into port under her
own mower.
