tressed. II We are the good sports
We should be, We will buckle down
TO business here on the home front
and await tidings of ultimate VIC
tory. Germany is whipped; Russia
Is on the rampage. America is maK-
ing ready. Great Britain is poised.
italy is sick of 1t all. The scales
OF victory are steadily turning.
OF course 1t may take some time
and great cost to prove to Ger
many that she is whipped; but her
ultimate defeat is in the cards Be
cause her position is precarious
Germany may be expected to resort
to dangerous expedients. There is
very great fear that poison gas will
be employed to stem the tide of
defeat. 1t is a horrifying prospect;
but such is the course of the ide-
ology of master race"
The reverses then In North At
RIGA are not fatal, but are the price
that inexperience and over-enthu-
siasm entails. Enthusiasm is one
thing and experience and prepared
ness is another Just like Hitler's
intuition, sheer enthusiasm is no
match for the experience that the
Germans have gained on many
fronts. Hitler's intuition worked
finely against the weaker nations
and against Russia in a retarded
state of preparedness; but once
Russia recovered from the initial
attempted Knockout blow, Hitler's
intuition became a flat tire.
BOUND TO BE LOSSES
There is no reason to doubt the
valor of the American soldiers, and
that they are going to come through
gloriously is foregone conclusion
There is no reason why we Ameri-
cans should expect ultimate. vic
tory without losses. There are bound
to be losses, heavy losses, but such
is the price that master-racism ex-
acts Of humanity And this is but
the beginning of the sorrow it will
inflict upon mankind unless it is
haniShed from the earth.
1t is safe to say that the Ameri-
can soldier has the greatest handi-
cap of any soldier on the far-fllrng
battle fronts of this global war. We
often boast that our soldiers are
the best-fed, est-clothed, best
equipped of all the world soldiers.
But just as man cannot live by
bread alone, so soldiers cannot win
with material equipment alone.
Above all else s soldier must be
convinced of the righteousness of
his cause. In other words he must
have moral equipment
ISSUE CONFUSED
1t is In moral equipment that
cur soldiers are perhaps at a dis
advantage. We are confused on the

ing for democracy and the Ameri-
can way of life; some are fighting
to maintain status quo while some
are fighting to perpetuate white
supremacy and the master race
theology. Great is our confusion
and added to this is the political
Vaccinations Of some Of our sup
posedly political higher-ups. The
political "Outs" are so bent on des-
troying the political ''ins" that our
war efforts are seriously handicap
ped and our ranks are given with
divisions of one sort or another.
There is confusion and that this
would affect our soldiers and their
morale is not beyond the realms
Of probability.

easily become a milestone to sink

False Citizenship
Claim Admitted

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. PUP
Arthur Linkletter, radio cOmmen-
tator, pleaded guilty today to an
indictment charging him with false
claims to citizenship.
Answering federal charges, Link
letter said his earliest recollection
of a home was of one at Lowell,
Mass. Until 1882 he believed he
bad been born there. He then
learned he had been brought to this
country from Canada when he was
four years old.
A special inspector of immigra-
ton and naturalization testified
Linkletter wrote to Canada in 1880
for his birth certificate and was
informed it had been furnished to
his foster father, The inspector
cited subsequent alleged misrepre-
sentations of citizenship when
Iinkletter applied for passes to
Radio Studios in Nov, 1912.
