IT'S ALL RIGHT

There is no hysteria, no futile
frenzy, no maudlin regretting from
relatives and friends Of those Arneri-
cans in General Pershing's list of
missing after the fight with Ger
mans near Cambria.
It's all right. The Stars and Stripes
are good enough for him to die for"
So one father crystallized the senti-
ment of these anguishing ones for
whom the term missing" can mean
everything terrible. Dead" would be
definite, at least. Missing" harrows
the Imagination and tortures the mind.
And yet there is nothing but calm
heroism from these to whom is given
the First Sacrifices. They are sus-
tanned by love of country and its
ideals which transcends even the ties
of flesh and blood. Their pure pa
triotisn has indissoluble kinship with
the spirit in which their loved ones
offered their lives.
Unconsciously, perhaps, they all
have the spirit of that Galileean
Teacher who said His mother, sister
and brother were those who did the
will of the Great Father of All.
What contrast to the spirit of that
spinster aunt who attempted to con-
sole her niece! TIE niece had freely
sent her own best-loved-a young
husband-to France, that her country,
and ours, might be redeemed
The aunt drew the young lady into
a darkened chamber and. pulling
down her lips, said complainingly:
Well, my dear, do Rate to be un-
patriotic, hut / did so hope that this
war wouldn't take any of nine!"

THE RESERVES OF VICTORY

1t is easy for bravado to take hold
of speculation as to what Americas
fighting forces will do during the COM
ing year Our muscles are SO strong
and our resources in strength so ire
mendous. And ave are not as yet
shocked by first losses of blood, dis
mayed at having the first Payments
on the Price of Liberty come due.
What we are going to do must,
therefore, be. given as background
! What has been done" The thrice
noble achievements of our Allies,
bought with untold crimson sacrifices,
should be present as we look into the
yelled year-l91S. Their example
must hearten us with high resolve that
their dead-and ours-shall not have
died in vain. On the threshold of an
other year of war we must renew de-
voticn to the cause for which they
gave full measures of devotion.
Determination must be ours-calm,
holy. stern Observation-Disclosures PTus-
sianism and ali it implies of murder,
rapine, violation of womanhood ard
ruthless dissertation of childhood's
happy shrine shall be crushed to earth
never to rise again. When our neigh
boris sunny-haired girl is ravaged by
wolves, is our little one safe until the
beasts have been destroyed. The
power we know as Prussianism has
taken our neighbors' precious ones.
Would ours be spared, if that power
were allowed to live?
Germany must be crushed, if Sc
curity is to be vouched for all these
things which Humanity cherishes-
women and happiness and children and
peace. That is the task ahead It is
the task to which America has put its
mighty hand. Having put hand to the
piow there is no turning back. The
Job will be finished, and Americas por-
ton in the business is a vast one.
Americas armies now training and
those to be trained, her resources in
mine and factory, her brains, her
womanhood, strong of heart, are to be
called upon during the year 1918 as
they have never been before. They
constitute tremendous power. 1t is a
power which is righteously directed
end inpelled by the purest of motives.
1t is the Reserve of Victory which will
bring an end to Prussianisrn.

after Waterloo. The French Of his
day were an admirable, a wonderful
people; but led by his military am
bition they became the conquerlng
enemies of mankind. 1t was his wars
that imposed militarism on Germany.
1t Is his tradition that now anlmates
the Prussian imperial buzzard. Use
less to talk of terms OF peace with
this new Napoleonism. Useless to
plead the virtues of the German peo-
Die. They have become the outlaws
of civilization, surrounded by a posse
of nations and lighting desperately
at the mouth of their cave. There
can be no enduring peace till they
have deposed their robber chieftian
and renowned their creed o. blood
and iron.
Forced Upon the United States
The United States has been COM
PEELED to join the posse. After en-
during outrages with a patience that
exasperated mankind, we have en-
rolled in the league of peace against
Germany. Our Navy is fighting in
European waters to protect our own
shores. Our Army is going to the
trenches in France that we may not
have to dig trenches in America. We
have organized for war because we
have been denied peace. We have
accepted CONSUMPTION against con-
scription. We have given our Gov
eminent the powers Of military die
tator to save ourselves from the mill
tary dictatorship Of the Most High
of Potsdam. We have surrendered
all our peaceful liberties in order to
organize our country for purposes of
war, because war can be efficiently
waged in no other way. Only with
blood and iron can we save ourselves
from the devotees of blood and iron.
When death comes into a dispute
there is no answer to it but death.
The "War Lords" Peace Offer
Now that the German war lord
sees the sword at his throat, he is
willing to use another argument. He
offers to talk of peace without pun
ishment." He is willing to forget
our dead, to forgive our wounds, to
overlook our injuries, to bow us out
of his fortress and repair his de-
lenses, and fit a new blade to his old
hilt. His agents assure us that our
allies are not our friends; that this

realization of how little we were pre-
pared for participation in such a war
if it came on us as suddenly as it did
on Europe. They would see their
belated emotional response to the
Preparedness" idea and the shocking
suddenness with which they dropped
it. They would see their legislators
attempting (and for a time success
fu4y) TO cripple the General Staff of
the Army through the agency of the
otherwise admirable National Defense
Act. And they would see themselves
permitting their legislators to make
huge appropriations for ships and guns
and munitions and clothing only when
it was years too late. This is what we
see in the mirror the Senate Military
Affairs Committee is holding up to the
nation; and these pictures are there
for everyone else to see if he will but
clear his eyes Of the mists of indiffer-
ence and ignorance that has clouded
them too long.

The following article by Harvey
O'Higgins is issued by the Commit
tee on Public Information:
''The Germans, their beloved Bis
marck said, "are a nation of house
servants
His successors seem to have made
them a nation Of army worms.
All their fine qualities OF loyalty
and service which Bismarck
summed up so contemptuously-
been turned from ideals of domestic
peace and labor to the ravaging Of
their neighbors in a devastating war.
A nation Of army worms, led by i'm
perial locusts, they have advanced
upon the world IN their famous mass
formations, gray-green swarm of
devoted loyalists, at once admirable
and horrifying.
World Banded Against Them
And the world has banded against
them. One by one a score of States
have been forced to arm and defend
themselves. Not even the peaceful
traditions of China Or the determined
isolation of the United States could
save them from the unproyoked as
saults of this Submissive people led
by ambitious maniacs. The war has
become a war to rid Germany and the
world of Germany's Mud Mullah.
And just as there would be no peace
a hundred years ago in Europe, and
no freedom in France until Napoleon
had been Gagged, SO now there can
be no security for any nation and no
liberty for the Germans until their
Hohenzollern has been crushed and
his loyal victims awakened from their
national hypnosis. The free peoples
of the earth are battling against the
last serfs OF military autocracy not
only to protect themselves, but to
liberate their enemy. America is
fighting to establish among the ma
tons of Europe another such peace
full league of self-governing States as
our War of independence founded on
this continent 1t is war against
war-against international injustice,
and predatory ideals of empire, and
the slavery of willing slaves assault
ing freedom.
Again and again the nations made
terms of peace with. Napoleon. 1t
was useless until he made his final
terms Of unconditional surrender

A MIRROR TO THE NATION

The current Survey" by the Senate
Military Affairs Committee of the
War Departments preparations for
liz war, and more particularly of the
preliminary work of the Ordnance De-
bartment, is not so much an investiga-
zion as it is a revelation, says The
Army and Navy Journal. 1t is the
holding up to the nation great mirror
in which the people of the United
States can see themselves and their
chosen representatives in Congress re-
fected in all their blind Indifference to
a few simple truths about military af-
fairs as to which they have elected to
remain Indifferent these many years.
IF this mirror had the tabled qualities

'tates few pictures, emerging and
isappearing, of their mental experien-
es since the outbreak of the European
tvar. They would see their sudden
