without further delay would upset
their partisan plans.
1t would seem now that an APP
propriate slogan for the Republi-
cans in the campaign which has
been initiated by the President him
self would be HE Kept us out of
War-Too Long!'
Had the United States begun the
work of preparation in 1914 instead
of listening to President Wilson's
fatuous and misleading argument,
against preparation on the ground
that we were in no danger of being
involved in the great struggle the
war would have been ended much
sooner and with the saving OF
thousands of lives and much treas
ure. Instead of writing notes after
the destruction of the Lusitania all
dealings with Germany should nave
been broken off in response to the
widespread demand of the Ameri-
can people for immediate punish
ment of the Hun monster.
Had we not been lulled by the
pacifistic propaganda of peace
without victory" and TOO Proud to
Fight and II didn't raise my boy
to be a soldier and a lot more OF
the same sort the full power of
America would have been felt long
before the present year and who
can doubt that with our entrance
into the war the happenings of the
last year in Russia and elsewhere
might never have occurred.
So that the Republican party can
very properly insist upon a new
slogan which will comprehend the
sentiment of the people now that
it is being expressed in no uncer-
tain way. He Kept us out of War
Too Long," When one considers
all the horrible things that trans
pired after the sinking of the Lusi-
tania before America did enter the
war it is difficult to restrain the
deep-seated resentment that is
aroused over our procrastination-
a representation which placed us
in a false position as a people be-
fore the world. Thank God, our
boys on the firing line have wiped
out the stain upon the patriotism
of the American people!

SO / SENT MY TRUE LOVE

Lips that still were laughing,
Eyes that still could dance
So l sent my true love
On his way to France.
Through the days he needs me,
While we are apart.
He shall feel my laughter
Lifting up his heart.
He shall go unburdened
By any grief he knows,
Down the dusty roads of France
Singing as he goes.
All my love and laughter
Through his days shall flow
If I cry before the dawns
He shall never know!

LII signs point to an oVerwhelm-
Il ing Republican victory inPenn-
~ sylvania next Tuesday. The
personal popularity OF Senator Sproul
and the confidence of the voting pub
lie in his intention and ability to
make good his platform pledges; the
undoubted strength of Senator
Beidleman, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, the normal Republican
majority in the state, and last, but
nv no means least, the whirlwind of
Indignation and protest that has been
stirred UP in every county by Presi-
dent Wilson's effort to drive Repub-
lican votes to Democratic candi-
dates, are all clear indications. In
less than a week the attention OF
the people has been attracted from
almost complete absorption in the
war to a serious contemplation of
political conditions at home. Apathy
on the part of Republicans who had
devoted their whole thought to the
winning of the war has given
place to general interest and Repub-
leans who might not have gone to
the polls are reused TO the pitch
that they will permit nothing to keep
them away.
Indeed, so strong is the Republic
can tide setting toward big MAORI
ties for the heads of the ticket and
congressman that many Legislative
candidates who otherwise might
have lost out on purely local issues
or because of their attitude on the
liquor question in all likelihood will
be swept into office on the wave OF
Republican sentiment that is being
rolled up. All other issues have been
submerged by that which the Presi-
dent has raised and even the pro-
hibition amendment, close as it is tc
the hearts of thousands of people
may be lost sight of in some districts
by straight-ticket voters, although
as a whole it will receive a tre-
mendous advantage through the
election of Senator Sprodl as gov
ernor.
The liquor forces have been en-,
d~eavoring to stir up the public as a
result of the temporary prohibition
we have been enjoying by reason o.
the influenza quarantine, but nobody
is finding fault save the saloonmer
themselves and a few old topper,
booze that drink is more to then
than bread itself. These in any cast
would not have voted for Senator
Sproul. But, granted that here an(
there he may lose a few votes o.

attack"
That principle has been Fochs
guiding star. Foch economical
forces when the enemy wasted his
in abortive attempts TO break
through Foch yielded ground. when
he could without endangering his
strategic position. rather than waste
men. He was saving his resources
for the tin when the Germans had
welded their club so vigorously that
exhaustion Of German reserves took
away the terror Of the club.
Basis Of AIRED Attack.
That principle is at the basis Of
all the allies have done since July
is, when the Franco-Americans
started their offensive which
drove the Germans back to the
Vesle. The second battle Of the
Marine had no more than ended
when the third battle OF the Somme
began. with Haig's attack on the
Amiens front While German re-
serve divisions were thrown i'm to
halt this drive. ManEin struck on
the Aisne front and this battle had
no more than thrown greater con-
sternation and confusion in the Ger
man command than Byng's blow
was delivered on the Ancre. Foch
was working out his principle OF r
liquid offensive" keeping the
battle nourished." and working to-
ward the moment when the allies
shall pass from preparation to the
main attack"
Before the main attack is deliver
ed the allies must be much stronger
than they now are. In consequence
OF continued hammering the Ger
mans also will be very much weak

struck until there is every reason
10 believe that II will win and shat

Seemingly. the Germans, II Ber-

have not even grasped the signifi-
canoe OF Foch's strategy, or If they

where the Germans make their first
mistake The allies are not trying
10 effect a break through" Foch
has not vet reached that point in
his offensive plan.
Foch's strategy is based upon "A
liquid" or shifting offensive. one
which is started on a comparatively
narrow front. designed to gain linn
tied detectives. II these are obtain
ed then the attach may be widened
and when the Germans bring up
reserves the plan is 70 hit somewhere
else. Thus the whole German line
is kept i'm constant state Of dread
and anticipauons. while unable TO
retrieve the offensive so skilfully
welded by Foch.
LudendOrn's Plan.
LudendorTs plan or attack was
simply to break through the allied
line by sheer weight. He struck only
after weeks OF careful preparation,
devoting all his forces TO the one
salient attacked AS his blows lost
momentum and "petered out" he
was then compelled 10 start all over
again on some other sector. Zach
offensive was a separate enterprise,
and when he drained dry the posi-
bilities of each. his strategic success
es were unimportant. He failed to
accomplish what he set out 70 do
Ludendorff's blows were along the
same lines OF every other big Ger
man movement such as brought
successes against a weaker force. as
in Roumania. Serbia and at Cap
orettO. Ludendorff evidently paid no
attention to what Foch had In mind
for Ludendorff hoped for a crushing
success. and with that the plans Of
the enemy matter little.

guided by a maxim laid down by
himself when instructor at the

shock troops had difficulty in cross
ing the bodies of their own dead.
But II is the Germans who are
now striving TO initiate Gouraud's
plan OF defense, a plan first employ
ed by the French general whereby
he halted the German drive east Of
Rheims by stubbornly but only
lightly holding the forward positions
and removing the line of resistance

Foch, who daringly wrested the
offensive from the Germans after
he had skilfully conducted the
greatest retreat and defense in his
tory may be fully trusted TO "nour-
ish the combat right up to the mo
ment we shall pass from such
preparation TO the main attack"
This preparation entails keeping the
enemy disorganized in retreat. and
low in reserves. Ii contemplates
making the Germans use up their
