How can it be otherwise? Was it not

In the mere announcement 1t means
the use of the Danube river for Allied
purposes in the war. 1t means the
breaking up of the German dream Of
an outlet to the Bosphorus. 1t means
the killing dead of communication

mean the surrender of Turkey soon,
and possibly Austria. Both of the lat
ter countries are already sick and sore
of the war. They have long been on
the verge of collapse. Servia will now
come back to her own, and in the end
Germany will be punished savagely

PRESIDENT WILSON'S SPEECH.

The world is never disappointed at
what President Wilson says. He has
been put to all the tests that try a
statesmans resources and has never
failed to deliver. His Liberty loan
speech at the Metropolitan Opera
House, in New York, was, like most of
his other war utterances, a master
piece Of expression for the American
heart In the war. 1t cleared up much
that the enemy wanted, needed, to
know. 1t placed the country once
more on record as meaning business"
1t told Germany to look out, we are
coming. But the Marine, Cambria, St.
Mihiel, Chateau Thierry, all have re-
corded this message. Every doubt that
Germany had about Americas potency
has been emphasized by President
Wilson and rubbed in on the western
front. Such masterpieces of thought
and clear definition of ideals and pur-
pose as we have now had again from
the spokesman of America, who is the
real leader of the world today, re-
moves every obstacle before Ger
many's vision, and she now sees the
greatest spectacle in all history, the
American giant coming on with a furi-
GUS tread that shakes the world and
makes the very stars tremble.

JUSTICE AND MERCY.

A verse in the LXII Psalm reads !:
s'Also unto thee, o Lord, belongeth
mercy; for thou renderest to every
man according to his work"
What a fine thought is embraced in
this text. 1t is a subject that may be
viewed from many angles, but the truth
of it may never be gainsaid or ques-
toned. We should always hold this
thought uppermost; that we cannot go
along deceiving ourselves into the be-
lief that we may do as we please and
not expect retribution. According to
the justice of this quoted thought from
the psalmist, all evil doors are fore
doomed in advance of any wrong act.
1t is bound to react. Carlyle must
have had this thought in mind when he
said that no man ever did another a
wrong that it did not sooner or later
come home to him.
One Of the strangest things we have
had to face in this country under our
system of politics is the acts of the
men who do selfish things with the
public's rights and hope to get away

Gates itself. We have examples of this
every day. Look at Germany. Here
have this great people, wonderful in
building up a great nationality, even
under the autocratic rulership of a
KAISER going along through many cen
turtles Of existence, rising in so called
civilization, possessed of many great
men Of science and having the reputa-
ton as people of being the most eff
ficient in the world. But all of a sud
den they break loose and reveal their
true character. Without notice they
announce war against the whole world
with the end in view Of having all
civilization won over to its ownership
through conquest. What an ambition
what an aim This thing we call mer
cy will, of course, be melted out to Ger
many according to her work. We cal
look for no other result of the war.

A WAR EXPERTS VIEWS.

Frank III. Simonds, war expert
writer for the New York Tribune and
other American newspapers, in a long
review last Sunday, tells of the mean
ing of the German peace drive. He
classes it exactly in line with SINH
lar drive made by them in 1916, and
says both were with the same intent,
viz, to distract the Allies while they
(the Germans) made yet greater prep
arations for military gain. Mr..
Simonds mistrusts everything Ger
man, especially their diplomatic trick
cry. OF course, he could not dodge
this.
But what strikes Mr.. SimOnds as
more important than anything else at
this time is the close analysis he
makes of the present physical aspect
of the war. The allied gains in pris-
Oners captured and in territory taken
must not be mistaken for the begin
ming of the end of the war. We must
be optimistic, but not too certain.
Americas aid in the war is of tre-
mendous meaning. The morale of both
French and English has been helped
most amazingly by the continued sup
ply of men and food and materials
from America. German morale is cor
respondingly weakened by the late
summer and autumnal successes of
Foch's masterful strategy and his I'M
questioned successes in battle. But
Mr. Simonds says the only possible
way to end the war is to BEAT GER
MANY TO HER KNEES ON GER
MAN SOIL. This task is ahead, and
it is gigantic one, while not an i'm
possible one. Any form of settlement

There was a party of town folk in

Mrs. Brady said in jest she didn't

the northern part of that line, and
we're making further progress yes
terday.
The Londoners fought with the ut
most gallantry on the western edge
of Croiselles, where for a time they
were checked by a blast of machine
gun fire from the crest. Further
south other troops, including York
shire battalions, are extending our
gains north of Bapaume by Beug-
natre and the sugar factory at
V%raucourt in the direction of Bulle-
court. In that region the enemy is
fighting hard with strong counter
attacks, in which some of our men
had heavy fire to face, though gen
cral success has been assured. The
New Iealanders are forcing their
way around the northern outskirts of
Bapaume.
The Australians and other troops
are steadily making their way across
the Somme battlefields, the old woods
of ill-fame, like Bernafay and
Trones, and Maricourt and our line
is now nearly straight up from near
Naux on the Somme to near Tongue
val and the southern outskirts of
Bapaume.
The Germans can make no stand
in most of these places, and they
know it. Personally, | believe they
are only fighting for time, hard rear
guard actions, to gain a few days
and exact a price before they fall
back on their old line of resistance
on the other side of Peronne.
For them, this retreat, which has
completely wiped out their mon
strous efforts which followed March
81, is a deadly blow to their mill
tary and national pride. and proof
that they will never gain a victory
on the western front. They cannot
hide this from the world, nor from
their W people, but don't let all
this good success of ours lead us to
false optimism and hopes beyond
the touch of reality.
