PRESS COMMENT.
ARE HUNS PLAYING FOR TIME.

London opinion is 10 the effect that
the retreatIng German army " not bound
for the Rhine OF for the German bound
AIRY line, but for another defensive line
that will extend through the middle
of Belgium, from Antwerp on the north
to Brussels, thence to Namur and thence
to Sedan, thus linking strongly fortified
cities. Such line would reduce the
stretches Of trench dcienses and would
concentrate the strength OF the yet
available fighting forces. The London
suggestion, from which we are quoting,
takes thc view that the main purpose
OF the new hnc Is to make delay gain
time for rcorganizing the demoralized
German army and for general rearrange-
ment of militant forces, The new line
will be expected to hold through the
winter and that will afford great op-
portunity for conversations II no
formal truce can be obtained talk is
expected to bring about something like
an informal ruce--a relaxation in the
war drive.
In this connection and AS sustaining
the theory that Hunism is playing for
time III which TO reorganizc fighting
forces, The Bernc correspondent of

This talk explains the German govern
ment reason for the evacuation of Bel
gum. II is not surrender move quite
the contrary The German official is
quoted as saving that the time necessary
for evacuation and for parley talk will
leave a latitude To Germany of three
months The winter will add two addi-
tional months. and FIVE months will
suffice for the total renewal Of our armies

An Army OF Patriotic Investors.

Il is estimated that the number Of
individual subscribers to the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the campaign for which
closed 50 successfully, last Saturday
night, Is at least 25,O0O,O 600 This is
more than 20 per cent Of the entire
population Of the country
This large army Of subscribers reveals
the patriotic interest Of our people in the
successful prosecution Of the war, and
their purpose TO stand by the administra-
ton TO the limit in supplying the money
that Is necessary to this end
The actual amount OF the subscriptions
viii not be known for several days, but
it is certain the issue Of six billion dollars

the vast number Of subscribers is evidence
of widespread interest in the loan and
Of the patriotic spirit that prevails

ALCOHOL AND INFLUENZA.

Reports Of the usc Of whisky in treating

interest IN their relation to methods of
combating the epidemic and their bearing
on Prohibition sentiment. In Camp
Dodge, la, hundreds Of cases of con-
iisCatcd liouor have been utilized To
give patients alcoholic ba hS and also
rs a stlmulant. In Tennessee similar
use Of condemned whisky has been au-
thoriged hy the courts Two carloads Of
liquor have been shipped into Camp
lee IN Virginia, and there are accounts
of a like lifting Of the ban III Louisiana.
South Carolina Is said 20 have author

posed IN Georgia.
Thus the moot question Of the mcdici-
nal efficacy of alcohol in diseases of the
grip type has become complicated with
the ethical question OF its use in Pro
hibition territory and under conditions
involving a seeming notification Of
state laws by Federal procedure The
important thing is 70 check the disease;
and if alcohol can help in the process
then so much the worse for laws pre-

While nothing Is charged against the
Democratic administration in the league s
resolutions, the inference remains that il
has been ineffective in the conduct Of the
war. For, when 1t Is urged 10 be necessary
to effect a change IN national adnlnistra-
ton in order TO meet the grave problems
OF peace. there could be no more cony1nc-
ing argument in favor of the Democratic
administration than that il has conducted
war operations in 4 marvelously effective
Inanner-which il has done. This beng
conceded, there is not the rcmotest
reason for asking the people to make q
change In asking for change, there
fore, the league inferentially charges the
present administration with inefficieney
and lack of ability.
We take it that the people of the coun-
try will study the situation carefully,
and give due consideration to all the
matters involved, before casting their
ballots at the November election. And
the very first question the interested,
intelligent and independent voter will
ask is: What assurance is there that q
Republican administration could do as
well as the present admiDistl alton has
done, to say nothing Of doing better?
For answer, the interested, intelligent
and independent voter Will refer to the
past. lie will make a study Of the most
recent Republican administrations and
compare results.

The following word was received
from C. B. Bach Of Minot who is
Grand Chancellor of the X. of P.
Lodge of North Dakota. According
to his letter he is going into war
work and has appointed G. W. VOL
pert of this city to act in his place
during his absence. His message is
as follows:
have long felt my uselessness
during the great struggle which has
so successfully terminated, and that |
should be doing something to help the
cause in which we were so righteous
ly engaged. With that end in view
l filed my application last July with
the Army Y. M. c. A. I have just
received notice of my acceptance and
a wire to report at New York for
overseas duty as quickly as possible.
1 am getting my affairs in shape as
soon as may be, and expect to leave
in two weeks to take up this work. |
am turning the affairs of the Grand
Lodge over to the competent hands
of the G.. V. c., G.. w. Wolbert, to be
acting Grand Chancellor until my re-
turn or until my successor is elected
and qualified, should be able to re-
turn by that time. bespeak for Bro.
Wolbert the same courtesy and con-
sideration you have given me. l
regret deeply having to abandon
these associations before my term
expires. I feel however that more
good can be accomplished over there
among the boys as there is a big
need for Y. M. c. A. workers, and
more necessity than ever for work Of
this kind.
