L Aliape Snd. il descendants, an assembly of men who ‘left the world of tyranny to embrace a larger freedom and to give force to the sentiment that true soverelgnty ‘was’ vested in the people, not in a .representative family. ‘We all have our sympathies accord- ing to our blood; but our hopes and our fears in this new world are iden- tical. Not a monarchy in Burope has any sympathy or much respect for a government of the people by the people for the people. Britain has fought us ‘twice and would have done so a third time but for Russia. Germany has been frank enough to set down for our perusal its military opinion that ‘We are an easy mark. If we are not true to the idea which drew us together, and loyal to the hope that is within us, we are an easy mark. What we hope for as the result of the present European war is of less consequence to us than what we hope for ourselves. Do we desire to be men or slaves? FORCES AND CAMPAIGNS, There are engaged now in war for the nations representing the triple en- tente six other nations with a total force of approximately 19 million men, and the three countries today repre- senting the triple alllance have 9 mil- lion men, so the armed forces now disturbing the world count up a total of 28,000,000 armed men. A year has elapsed and the land forces have see-sawed along a little over 2,000 miles of boundary lines, have almost trodden out of existence two Inoffensive nations, have killed and injured full three million men, spent $14,400,000,000 in cash, to say nothing of property destroyed, and honors are even and the future uncer- tain. Looking calmly at this appalling record, why shouldn’t it make for per- manent peace? 'What is there in it for men or nations from the point of view of battling for conquest, What is the hope? An increase of power, a change In vassal states, another triumph in error. The world cannot be cemented together for the welfare of man by this antiquated and bar- barous method. —_——— WHY! ‘We learn after weeks of flerce fight- ing that the Germans in their third and greatest drive -against Warsaw have come to a standstill—they have been checked. The question hag often been asked why the allies in France and Bel- gium have not undertaken a counter drive to-push the Germans back and relieve the pressure upon Warsaw? Simply because they couldn’t. They ‘have all the men they can raise at the front and-the -artillery duels there lowed. The officers of the Eastland are probably least to blame for this marine horror.~ The-boat was unfit for passenger service. —_— MILITARY TRAINING. ‘We have less than 100,000 men in ’ population of 90 millions who have a practical knowledge of military tac- tics. Our regular grmy totals 25,000 train- men familiar with camp liferand mil- itary tactics, ‘When the secretary of the National ‘Security league says we are ‘“‘woe- fully inefficient,” he tells a plain and alarming truth, and when the league recommends a reserve force of 500,000 trained men it has the interest of the country at heart. ‘We need a revival of the military spirit. At the close of the Civil war the country had 1,500,000 fighting men, but today it is woefully shoft of the knowledge and skill which so recently was its security and defense. EDITORIAL NOTES. Live and let live is no motto for roy- alty. It prefers do or die! ‘Artillery fire may be a rainmaker, but it makes water the most expen- sive fluid on earth. The Kaiser says the war will end in October. As second In the field, how does he expect to be first out? Francis Joseph, as a feeble old brute, hangs on, to the dismay of the cor- respondents and the undertakers. 'As Roosevelt represents high and Bryan low in the war game they must regard Wilson as the Jack in the pack, ples an hour. The political ple -eaters put him out of the cabinet. His think- er always seems to be foreign to facts, There is no doubt President Wilson is stronger than his party, but he is not strong enough to pull it through in 1916, The German papers in this country do not hesitate to stand for the tyr- anny their subscribers chose to flee from. The Kaiser seems perfectly satis- fled to be able to shock the world. The greatest man that ever lived dled to save it. Germany has played the part of the world’s schoolmaster so long that it doesn’t forget Iits pedagogy in war or peace. Wouldn't it be creditable actfon on the part of the government to make Gen. Huerta salute the flag since he has been captured violating our neu- trality ? ‘Who will pay this great war bill of fifty millions a day? The people who survive. ""hey were created to serve course. The third assault upon Warsaw has the Germans have much for their money. The Sons of Rest of Norwich have always distinguished themselves by thinking twice before they do any- thing and then deciding to let it go undone, Nebraska having originally been a Platte must have been the original salt river. her knees.
