DELIEF that the war will soon end'
- SAYS Henry Clews, the well known
financial authority of this country,
grows stronger each day. This belief
Is not entirely intuitive, and is largely
based upon the break-away IN Aus
tliaHungary and the growing dlssen-
sions in Germany, particularly the
great protests by labor in Berlin,
Hamburg and elsewhere, which may
or may not be exaggerated for effect
here. The allies, no matter now
weary. are certainly in better condi-
ton to continue the war than Ger
many. which is slowly but inevitably
drifting toward some sort of collapse.
II is well to remember, however, that
Germany is pre-eminently military
power and being such the only maj
argument that counts is blow. Mil
itarism can only triumph through
force. and can only be defeated by
the same means. 1t is hardly likely
that Germany's military dynasty VIII
surrender until knockout blow has
been administered. No such argu-
ment has yet been delivered, and prob
ably will not be until American armies
have reached France in sufficient force
TO deliver it. Moreover, military
dynasty facing inevitable rum, is
quite likely to sell its life as dearly
as possible. The most encouraging
event of the last few weeks, therefore,
was the arrival of a number of Amer
lean transports in France with con-
siderable body of men. Our govern
nent has been undoubtedly spurred on
by recent criticisms and such dis
plays of energy will convince Ger
many of our determination to win
far more quickly than any threats,
implied or actual. President Wilson's
announcement that he believed the
war would end this year was also as
surfing and materially strengthened
peace hopes.

When You Have a Cold

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Parma, ILL.,, writes
"Our fve-year-old son Paul caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy that l got a
bottle of it. The first dose benefited
him so much that l continued giving
it to him until he was cured"

CURRENT COMMENT

WHILE the war department is urg-
ing boys to enter aviation, and
many experts are of the opinion that
the United States can do much to
overthrow autocracy by sending a
swarm of airplanes over and back OF
the German lines, and while venture
some American young men by thou
sands are responding to these invita-
tions, congress talks of reducing the
pay in this branch of the service. To
induce young men to enter aviation a
bonus Of rs per cent in pay was Of
fered them when they should win their
commission, but only on flying duty
then. The idea was to stimulate am
bition, urge the boys on to obtain
their commissions, and encourage avi-
alton. Now congress proposes to pull
the string, depriving those who have
responded to the governments APP
peals of the pay originally offered as
an inducement to get them IN. In
these days Of billions, the small item
is not worth the saving, at the cost
of convincing many young fellows that
Uncle Sam in his dealings with them
is not above what has a look of sharp
practice. They will stay in the ser
vice undoubtedly, even if not getting
the pay expected and were led to
expect. Congress would better think
better Of such a method Of saving in
war time. 1t will cost more in throw
ing a damper on the enthusiasm and
ambition of candidates for aviation
than it will come to in dollars and
cents.

WHY Japan has been of no support
to the allies in the occident,
though Of considerable in the orient,
has been subject of good deal of
debate. A Japanese, Adache kinno-
suke, explains the riddle in the current
issue Of Asia, under the caption, "Why

rope Fewer than a million Japa-
nese troops to France would not be Of
much service, this writer asserts, yet
the entire land force Of Japan at the

army at home to care for several i'm

A Hint to the Aged

IF people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.
