Who Won the War

Omaha, July Ito the Editor
of The Bee: There Is bound to be
more or less academic discussion
concerning who won the war. Even
so prominent leader as Sir Dougles
Haig has admitted that the British
won 1t. Americans have been talk
ing in the same way ever since the
turn of the tide at Chateau Thierry.
The French, of course. point to the
length of the line they held and the
fact that they were the first on the
line blocking the path of the in
vader. The Belgians have Alright to
claim their initial resistance at
Liege gave the French and British
time to get under way. Quite pos
sibly the Italians could say that
their attacks divided the enemy SO
as to give the others chance on the
west front. The most unique argu-
ment is undoubtedly that Of the Ger
mans who claim that their former
imperial chancellor, Her Won Beth
smann-Hollweg won the war for the
entente. The Germans say that the
war was lost by four days; the four
days Won Bethmann- Hollweg was
trying to prevent the British from
entering the war, back in August,
1914. Thus the argument might 60
on indefinitely.
But when all that sort of talk is
put aside and the facts are looked
squarely in the face, it is evident
that neither the British alone, nor
the Americans, nor the French, Bel
gians, Italians or Won Bethmann-
Hollweg won the war. The war
was won Incorporation and defi-
mite progress to that end was made
even with each nation fighting Ger
many until the allies decided upon
and made effective unity in COM
mand. Then, and not uptil then,
was it possible to make ppgs-sss
against the central powers.
At least one lesson has been
learned by the nations in the pres
there is to be great war in which
several nations shall cooperate
against common enemy the first
condition for success must be unity
in command. The right command
ing officer may not be discovered at
first. but that will not be the fault
of the principle involved The big
thing is that whatever is done must
be done as part Of general plan.
And If this unity Of command in
war is so necessary, why should
there not be at least unity of pur-
pose for the preservation Of peace?
Unity of command in peace time is,
Of course, not practical but agree
ments guiding each nation for the
welfare and safety Of all ought not
to be altogether impractical.-V.

You who are annoyed with embarrass-
ing growths of superfluous hair have
waited long for something that would do
more than merely take off the surface

BAYVIEW SEES LOWEST DAY
WHEN CHILDREN ENTERTAIN,

Bayview was at it's loveliest last
night when children of North Hill, in
the guise of summer butterflies. mar
tial young patriots and all the joys
of festive masquerade gave their per-
Torrance under the auspices of the
War Camp Community Service.
The pier was used as a stage and
blue Bayou Texar with setting of
greenery on the far shore, furnished
a background of mingled woodland and
water artistic and intensely beauti-
full Graceful steps with charm and
a careless abandon peculiar to juve-
nile performances.
1t was the first children's commun-
1ty sing and spoke well for the success
of future ones which the young people
of Pensacola will put on.
Gold and black butterflies gave a
