A BILL HAS been introduced in
Congress which proposes to have
the government extend medical and
hospital benefits to approximately
110,000.000 persons in the United
States. If made into law, it would
cost the people, roughly, $4,000, ,000,-
900 annually in taxes, to support
what the advocates of the bill like
to call free" medical care. This
is nearly as much as the total
cost of maintaining the Federal
government each year on the aver
age from 1924-33. In addition, the
entire fund would be at the dispos-
al of one man, the Surgeon General
of the Public Health Service, who,
by law, would become a medical
dictator.
We are indeed a sick nation if
we are willing to swallow such a
pill. After swallowing it, we
would find that, instead of taking
a progressive stimulant, we had
taken political opiate intended to
dull our senses to an uncompromis-
ing truth soundly expressed by
the Lake County, Indiana, Medical
News: ut is only in an atmosphere
of freedom that the lamp of science
and learning can be kept alight. In
all the history of the race, pro-
gress has never fiowered in a sub
ject people. 1t is only free men
who dare to think, and it is only
through free thought that the soul
of a people can be kept alive"

Milford, Friday, August 20, 1913

1T is BECOMING increasingly
obvious that aspiring holders of
public office are going to seek re-
newed tenure on the strength of
their war records. No one should
object to that. But what everyone
should object to is the tendency to
glOrify government by intimating
that it has fought the war almost
singlehanded-even to the extent
of being primarily responsible for
the quantity and quality of tanks,
planes and ships with which our
men are fighting. That is the way
of the dictatOrs. to seize all the
credit from private citizens for
every achievement. And once they
begin seizing the credit for the ac-
cOmplishments of the people, eX-
perience has shown that they soon
begin seizing the resources which
made the accomplishments pos
sible.
Therefore, it is imperative that
the American people be not de-
luded as to how and by whom this
war is being fought. Due credit
should be given to the political and
military leaders who are coordinat-
ing and directing the armed forces.
Beyond that, the credit goes to the
people for whatever degree of mil
itary success the nation may enjoy.
The tanks. the jeeps. the planes
and the ships were not created by
government any more than were
the men now in the service of their
country.
Private industry. managed and
operated by private citizens. is the
handspring of the war effort. From
the men deep underground in the
mines to the men and women in the
OlnCCSs NuC JuD 10 DelllS
by sweating individuals who are
working for the glory of freedom,
not the glorification of govern :
ment. The mighty electric power,
transportation, and production ia
cilities, without which the war
effort would halt in the wink of
an eye. are furnished by countless
individuals operating their own
businesses with single determlna-
tion to help wipe out alien gov
ernments that think they are big
ger than the people.
Our political leaders should heed
the ignominious end of the first
to fall in this war-Musso-
lini. Mussolini claimed the achieve
ments of his people as his own.
He dominated their souls and their
in the name of govern
memt. By so doing. he brought de-
feat to himself and to the nation.

British BottIinq
Nuzi Isle Thrust

which wreSted Crete from the
Allies in 1910, but it nevertheless
must have been considered suf-
fiCient by the Nazi command to ac-
complish its purpose.
Allied sources interpreted the at
tack as q German warning that
the Nazis intend to contest every
penetration of their southeastern
flank.
The British announced the oc-
cupation of Cos by Raj fighter
planes Sept. 81 and said that the
airdrome there already was being
operated with the cooperation of
Italian personnel.
The surprise Allied move, which
was followed quickly by the oc-
cupation of Leros, also in the Dode-
canese, and the Greek island of
Samos to the north, outflanked the
German bases on Crete and Rhodes
and gave the Anglo American COM
mand springboard for amphibious
operations against those islands or
Greece itself.
FEW MILES FROM TURKEY
Cos, also known as Coo and Kos,
lies only a few miles off the south
western tip of Turkey, so miles
north of Rhodes. 100 miles north
east Of Crete and 200 miles south
east of Athens. It's occupation adj
yanced the Allied line 400 miles
north from Egypt.
British planes have been attack
ing Rhodes, from which the Ger
man assault probably was launched,
with increasing frequency since the
occupation of Cos. Airfelds at
Calato and Martha on Rhodes were

GERMANS STILL POWERFUL
Jacksonville Register-Pa aronian)

Jacksonville Register-Pa iaroniam
Quite often these days we hear people
ask With their army about shot and
their war plants bombed almost to de-
struction, how can the Germans possibly
hold out much longer?"
And with Sen. Sheridan Downey set
ting himself up as a master war strateg-
ist Wednesday in congress debate on
drafting of fathers, more people will
probably be asking the same thing.
Partial answer, at least, came from
high military officials this week at
Washington conference attended by in
dustry, labor and newspaper leaders.
Stressing the difficult path ahead to
victory, the military leaders declared
that:
The German air force is larger now
than in 1889 (and the japanese air force
is increasingly
Germany has 800 powerfully equipped
combat divisionS-three times as many
as she had when she attacked Poland
Germany has 35,00O,00O workers en-
gagged in war industries compared with
23,000,000 four years ago.
German military leaders have aban-
doned hope of winning the war, but Anglo
-AHeTlCdl DOHlDlHSS Have Caused no
break in German morale.
When the United Nations start hitting
the enemv'S main defenses "our losses
will be felt in every village and town in
the United States"
Undersecretary of War Robert Patter-
son summed it all up in words we should
remember: Our recent victories have
failed to affect in any vital degree the
strength of the enemy but made it plain
that we have long way to go before this
war is won =. to be sure of victory we
must not relax our effort until the last
enemy has thrown down his arms
