Keep the home tires burning' brightly. :o:- The Hun and brutality go hand in hand. -:o:- The detectives should pinch them selves to see if they are awake. McAdoo and Wilson both are op posed to the prohibition of the manu facture of beer. -:o: Last year's straw hat may be good for something, but not anything in the wav of a hat. -:o: Nothing could possibly be safer than the war time safety match. There is more danger of fire from a bucket of water. The Nov York Tribune says Hearst is a pastmaster in the art of camouflage. He has plenty of com pany in metropolitan journalism. Roumania. engulfed in the ruin brought on by Russian defection, may look ahead to the time when Ralkan affairs will be readjusted elsewhere than at Berlin. :o: If personal property wore exempt ed and taxes were levied on incomes and real estate, very great progress would be made toward a just hand ling of this complicated problem. :o: The more intelligent children will not be perturbed at the announce ment that a substitute for castor oil has been, found. Xo substitute could taste as bod as the original, as they very well know. :c: The chautauqua which begins and holds the last week in this month, premises to be much bigger success than last year. The attractions are all first class in every respect and national in reputation. :o: Chancellor Von Hertling is expect ed before long to make a verv sensa tional peace speech in the Reichstag. General Foch, General Haig and Gen eral Pershing may be depended upon to make a very sensational reply to this speech. -. ; o : Just what there is about, a Red Cross which so infuriates a German airman we cannot understand. Per haps some of the zero minus patriots in this country who flew into a rage when the Red Cross solicitors called last month can tell us. -:o: Maybe the hiked prices in barber shops will turn out to bo blessings in disguise. Some barbers have becjine so independent lately they don't care whether you take a massage along with your shave or not. and a few of them won't even argue with you about it. :o:- Chuncellor Hertling is billed for another peace speech before the Reichstag soon. The chancellor and the Reichstag seem fond of these little occasions, realizing probably that they will have nothing to do with the making of the real peace when it come;. ' -:o:- ln the novelty of having IT-boats so close to home the government is quite chatty about details of sink ings. Let's hope we don't, get so tised to the experience that informa tion will be reduced to a monthly bulletin, as in England, giving only the total tonnage .sunk. :o:- While our experiments would not be called extensive, they were thor ough as far as they went in the mat ter, and we must confess that we don't see how any invalided soldier with ordinary sie loes ever learns to write on a typewriter with them. Or a pen, either, for that matter. THE BIG DRIVE. There are certain phases of the great battle now raging on the banks of the Marne which thought ful observers ' may well consider. Pessimism, as well as over-confid ence, should be guarded against. The situation at the front is of course serious, but such a condition should only serve to simulate patriotism and war work. In the first place, It is not un reasonable to interpret the shifting of the scene of attack from the Flanders front to the Soissons Rheims sector as evidence of Ger many's realization that the attempt to reach the English channel was a failure. On March 21 when the Germans started their drive for Amiens, the strides made the first few days were not unlike , the advances made this past week in the Aisne sector. The success of the present drive is attributed to the perfecting of gas shells used by the enemy. These shells, according to the reports from the front, may be fired a distance cf eight miles, herebv making useless the allies' second lines of defense. The Germans are now within forty- five miles cf Paris, but it is not at all probable that they will be able to continue their present pace. The llics will find some way to counter act the fee's advantage of superior gas shells. There is yet another phase to con sider in the present advance. The crown prince has mass?d on his front fully (57.T.OOO ir.cn which greatly out numbers the allied forces. In the meantime. General Foch is rushing reserve troop.s to the scene of battle. Among these reserve troops are merican units who will be joyful at the thought of getting into the thick of the great struggle. This fact that American soldiers will probably take part in this drive will remind the observer of the real objective of the kaiser in his wes tern front offensive. His real aim s to bat the American forces in a race against time. The kaiser knows- that there will soon be a million and a half Americans in France, he knows that the president has been given an unlimited army and that there will be unlimited financial sup port. It is this spectre of Amer ica's untold strength, in men, re sources, money and spirit which causes the kaiser to strain every division ot his armies to bring a speedy victory in France. The kais- r can only do his best to win a decision before the full force of morica strikes. President Wilson. Secretaries Mc Adoo, Baker and Daniels, Mr. Schwab and Mr. Ryan are all do ing their best to win tiie race ag-tinst time. And there should be no Americans on the sidelines in this race. Every person in this country can help win it. Luxuries and sur plus must be cast aside in order to get down to running weight, for it is a race against death between de mocracy and autocracy. The sold ier at the front will do his part. That he has proved at Seicheprey and Cantigny. It is the soblicr at home that must, show greater speed.
