D. Darling 115-117 West Third Street Alliance - - Nebraska Brief War Comment I We've got to send armies to Eur ope to keep the war from coming to our own doors. Don't forgot that. o - Whatever I'm lie Sam may do on the tiring line later, he has alre.nl won the position anient: his allies as the ' 'angel" oljhis war. o "Preserve or Perish" is the point ed slogan ol New Yoik farm women who seek to have the best use made of the berry and fruit yield. Once more the kaiser has remind ed his soldiers and people that the wtir was "forced on Germany." but as usual modesty prevented him from naming the distinguished gent who did it. o-- The Berlin Loknl Anzelger says. "The German navy does not wish anything more than n new encounter with the enemy " It wishes more to save its skin, or it would come out of hiding In the Kiel canal and invite a drubbing. o Amos Pinchot. pacifist and ob structionist, seems to be contemptu ously Inclined toward "a war 3.000 miles away." If the Lusttania's American passengers had entertain ed a similar disdain they would have been promptly cured o In diving sixty feet from a swiftly flying seaplane to save an ensign spilled from another seaplane In flames. Seaman Torreano of the French navy made ordinary heroism of the Carnegie medal variety look almost like thirty cents. o The kaiser isn't quite sure that the Berlin-directed Socialists hove got Russia fooled, for he haB not yet stripped his eastern front of troops. Perhaps he will be more doubtful than ever now that the American commission has arrived at Petrograd and begun to talk sense to a deluded and liberty-drunk people. o It Is not surprising to hear that the Filipinos have offered to send a division of troops to fight with the United States against Germany, but the name of General Emlllo Aguin aldo on the commission coming to Washington to make arrangements was scarcely to be expected. Who could have predicted this more than a decade and a half ago when the capture of Aguinaldo by Funston put an end to the long-dragging Filipino insurrection? Forbearance in lieu of the heavy hand tends to make friends out of the stubbornest enem ies. Many persons seem to be under the impression that the Council of National Dfense is composed of Daniel Willard, Bernard M. Baruch, Howard E. Coffin, Mollis Godfrey. Samuel Gompers, Franklin H. Mar tin and Julius Roscnwald, but these form merely an advisory commission appointed by the president to assist the t'ouncil of National Defense, which ody with great power con slsta of six members of the cabinet. Mr. Baker, secretin of war: Mr Daniels, secretary of the navy; Mr. LatMi secretary of the interior: Mr. Houston. soctotaty or a grleult in e Mr Rod field. aocretal of commerce, and Mr Wilson, secretary of labor If peace were possible, war's costs would make pacifists of us all. Tins country's war bill for a year is esti mated at no less than the colossal sum of 18.100,000.000. o - Perhaps tlM r.reatosl danger threatening this country at the pres ent moment is the growth of a mis guided yet plausible expectation that we shall escape a serious war. The allies and an ocean are between us and the Hermans why should we Worry T Why should legislation be rushed, why should the people rise up and prepare for war In earnest, when we are so favorably situated? Even If the worst should come, which Is more than doubtful, have wo not plenty of time? Apprised of this short-sighted feeling of confi dence and desiring to encourage H in order to make the most of the op portunity it gives, the Germans have craftily refrained from any offensive movement. Not even a Bolltary aub marine has been sent against us. Ab solutely nothing has been done since the 6th of April to stir up or incense the American public. We have suf fered less nt Germany's hands since we have been at war than during our neutrality. The manifest obpect of this maa terly strategy is to strengthen the hands of all the secret enemies among us who tiro working like bea vers to retard war preparations and convince the people that these are needless. Germany wants to keep ub quiet. Inactive, comfortably fool ed, until she has satisfactorily dis posed of all her nearer enemies bb she confidently expects to do and then descend upon us like ravening wolves upon n lot of helpless, naked sheep. That is the plan to keep the United States pacified until Eng land and France are worn out and we can be caught napping. A shrewd plan a veritable stroke of genius; and there have been dark hours In the councils at Washington oppress ed by the fear that it might succeed. n Inst iiefore the "Dav of Honor" the Frankfurter Zeitung claimed to hear from a "special correspondent" In New York that there was great re luctance to Join the colors through out this countrv. and explained this on the ground that "from the begin ning it was Wilson's war and In the opinion of the American nation It remains an enterprise frivolously be gun, entirely unnecessary, and there fore highly immoral." The Day of Honor answered with Its registration for military service of nearly eleven million Americans In the prime of their young manhood, from whom are to he drawn our needed armies From the shop, the factory, the count inc to Mfc and the fields they came, on willing feel and with devot ed hearts, to answer their country's call for self-defense against the ag gression and evil ambition of Ho modern linns There Is no answer to be compar ed with this, but there Is another an swer In rhetorical form, the strong statement of Secretary LftftO, "Why We Fight Germany." which ought to be pondered as well as read at Her lirt. The secretary clearly shows that we are In the war because we COUld not keep out of it, that It Is for self-defense, that Germany de ceived, betrayed and outrageously wronged us and Intends our ruin, that Germany Is an outlaw nation, that she haB cruelly stamped upon the rights of the weak, that civilisa tion Is shamed by the outrages she has committed, that she "proclaims the gospel that government has no conscience," that her war Ib one of outworn and lawless - feudalism against democracy and the freedom of the masses of men, that Germany as now misled must be suppressed or the world is undone. Such is our "frivolous." "Wilson's" war! aWWM SJi.im.lli,:1rii..wi,.j1)Ulli:li,;w.
