The message that Congressman
Dale brings back from the battle
fields Of France is one to steady,
strengthen and inspire. The very
seriousness of the situation and the
great task before this nation brings
SOLDERING thoughts to us all. We are
not respondent, just sizing up the
work before US and getting a better
grip that our efforts may be more
effective and this war the sooner
ended. Such messages as Congress-
man Dale's are unifying public senti-
ment on the necessity of cooperation
and speed to win this war. Let us
meet this call in true American
spirit and strike with all our power
for the freedom and liberty of man
kind and the safety of the world.

Holland is between the devil and
the deep sea. If she bows to Ger
mar demands she ceases TO be a neu-
trail nation and if she maintains her
neutrality Germany will gobble her
up as she has many other little ma
tons. The Dutch have an army Of
SOC, 600 and could put up a scrap
with the help of the allies that would
show a spirit of independence, but
she probably will seek a conciliatory
course and thereby gain the con-
tempt Of the world at large.
