OUR WORK ON THE WAR


1t has been the desire OF The Lo-
gan Republican to cover the war In
no routine way. We want not mere
ly to cover the local side and the
general news of 1t. but to get at the
great unseen forces that shape the
big results.
Prominent among the elements
that will win the war are the scien-
tific and technical forces. 1t takes
a high range of scientific ingenuity
to promote a successful war. Every
new battle brings up a new technical
problem. The side that is most fer

inventiveness will win. The story OF
what our scientists are doing is one
of the great romances of the war.
