Who's Who And Why

There are just two kinds of people
in this country today. those that are
loyal and those that are not. 1t is
time that every one came out in the
+, ,open and show his colors, there is
no neutral ground, either you are for
this country or you are against it. II
you are for this country it is your pa
triotic duty to aid the government in
the conduct of the war. If you are an
enemy we intend to find it out and
act accordingly.
We are now just about to float the
third Liberty loan, if you are a loyal
patriotic citizen 0 will come for
ward and take as many of these bonds
as you can, if you can buy a bond and
won't, you are a Stacker, you are dis
loyal, you are aiding the enemy, you
have no right to the protection OF
American citizenship. We are at the
parting of the ways; you are either
for us or you are against US.
Our boys on the bloody battle fields
of France are today fighting the great
est fight in the history of the world,
and for the most just cause, they are
fighting your fight, for liberty, for
humanity, for the freedom of the
world. Are we going to prove our
selves traitors to those dear brave
boys? No "a thousand times no. The
temper of the American people will
not stand for it.. This, the third Lib
erty loan, must and will be a success,
we are going over the top with it and
you will have to help do it. It is I'M
fair and unjust.that Others should have
to shoulder your responsibility IN
this fight, while yous~set back and
reap the benefits. rsy eSafl
In the past drives there have been
many who shirked their duty, In this

THE CRISIS OF THE WAR is NEAR

There can be no doubt that the crisis of the war has
been reached and that the fate of the world will be de-
oided within the next few weeks. Germany has staked
her all on winning with a drive to the English channel
and it must be admitted she has made great Roadway.
Whether or not she can be held without reaching her
goal remains to be seen. The renewal of the great
drive is about to begin, if it has not already begun and
events of vast import are likely to happen soon.
Germany is paying an awful price in lives for the ter
ritory gained, but what are lives to the kaiser and
Won Hindenberg and the war party in Germany. They
count no more than chaff. If the dynasty of the robber
barons can be extended it matters not to the Hohen-
zollerns if the lives of their subjects, who have not
enough intelligence to resist the oppression that holds
them in bondage are sacrificed by the millions.
The people had as we'll prepare for the greatest
struggle the world has known. Past battles, which
dwarfed into insignificance those of other wars, are
to be overshadowed by the battles to come within the
next few weeks, if not days. Germany must win with
the drive started three weeks ago or acknowledge her
self beaten and submit. to slow defeat. If she fails
to crush the allied armies now she will continue to
fight for months and may be years, on the defensive
but she will have to be completely crushed, disabled
and beaten before she will quit, for when she quits the
reign of the Hohenzollern dynasty will be at an end.

CARPING CRITICISM

Any criticism of the administration for the manner
in which the war is being carried on should be carried
on solely with reference to lettering the service. Any
criticism made solely for hampering the work or for
political gain should be frowned upon by the people.
There are many and preplexing problems and perhaps
those too ready with criticism might not be able to do
any better. 1t is easy to find fault, and the least cap
able are ready to do the most of it. The recent outburst
in the senate is a case in point. If it be true that as
yet we have, but one airplane in France and will only
have 81 by July 1, instead of 10000, it is deplorable. 1t
may mean inefficiency or it may not. In any event
it is difficult to see just what good can be accomplished
by advertising the fact to Germany. Why can not the
government officials and all in authority get together
and thresh these things out and if possible devise
remedies for anything that needs ~remedying without
advertising to the world &Nampa Leader-Herald.
Be prepared to meet the demands of the committee
on Liberty loan bonds, when the members call on you
within the next few days. If you were to loan the gov
eminent every cent you have you would be giving very
little compared to what the brave boys who have gone
across" or will later go across the ocean to fight for
you will give if they lose their lives, which they are
freely offering to their country.

The record Of the Hapsburg militar!
machine in Russia and Italy conclus1
lively demonstrates that 1t cannot hold
before British-French and American
attacks. 1t may, in fact, give highly
valuable aid to major operations BY
the allies, for complete break
through against Austro-Hungarians
would be much easier OF accomplish
ment than against the Germans.
These facts are well known at Ger
man headquarters. The German mill
tarists have long been unsparing In
their criticism Of the prowess OF the
armies. Germany
has had to come to the relief OF the
Hapsburgers too often during the past
four years to be under any delusions
now. Therefore, +, hen tie Eaiser calls
