President Wilson in his address .at Daltimore gave the only answer pos- <ible under existing circumstances to the challenge of Germany that the great war shall be won by force when in behalf of this country he ac- cepted that challenge by declaring that “Force, force to the utmost, fores without stint or limit, the righteous triumphant force, which shall make right the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust” will be put forth by the United States. it is force which is zoing to es- tablish right)and justicc in the world it must be the force which stands for such right and justice that will re- spect treaties, live up to international law and see that democracy ge:s Its nlnco in the world. The president b plain that he stands for the i are supported by -this counlry. that the nation is desirous of through redeeming the world ¢limigaticn of T the and the weak shnll share alike. He properly calls attention to what sort of peace there would be should Germany succced in its aime. It i§ well known how Belgium has been treated but there has been a repeti- tion of the same sort of conduct by Germany in regard to Russia whers its armies are still buey in getting control of territory far beyond the lines marked out by the treaty. Such does not stand for justice or lasting peace. It represents thie spirit of con- quest and the destruction or slave- dom of small nations. A forle there- fore greater than Germany can put forth is required and that is what he assures in view of the German atti- tude. And in so declaring he speaks for the nation. ———ees OPENING THE SECOND YEAR. It is a year now since this country declared itzelf in a state of war with Germany. That step was takem af- ter the machinery of preparation had been set in motion to some cxtent bu! in the past twelve months all of our energies have been bent towurds malk ing up for the time that was lost in the past. “We have made what might be con- sidereq remarkable progress under the conditions. We have raised and put onto the battlefield a large army. We are tiraining an even greater force, and that is to be followed by more in all branches of the army and navy. Our industries have been speeded up and plans for furnishing the neces- sary supplies, the needed warships, the troopships, the cargo carriers, the cquipment for the men, the foodstufls ana the airplanes are beingexecuted. We have gone from peace, and peace which was not marked by what might be properly termed adequate prepara- tion against the day when our rights would be persistently and glagingly trespassed upon, to war in a remark- 2bly short time. There have been mistakes and blunders. W have heen cbliged to face obstacles and not a { of ‘them have been thoge wal.l ‘were purposely thrown in our way. ‘We have suffered from profiteering and bad organization as well as the work of the enemy agents but we have only fnat hnain to realize what our resousces We have only wiat. must be don: t the henefit thersof.

At the present time the landing of the Japanese in small number, fol- protec it is cartnmly time ‘that there should be a thorough understanding of the whole situation; and- the Russfans or soviets informed as to the“attitiude of Japan so that i case matters de- velop to a point ‘Where more” troops have to be sent there thare will be a knowledge in advance as to wha.t it means. Havinz the interests of sibefls. and the peace of the ‘east " at heart, it ought not to be difficult to make Rus- sla understand what Japan's real at- titude is or what the attitude of all those nations fighting as the allies is regarding Russia. It has been clearly demonstrated what the purpose of ik Germany and Austria is and what ad- vantage they are now taking of the peace treaty which has. been sizned. Russia_should therefore welcome any leglitimate assistance which it can ob- tain - in offsetting it and there are good reasons for believing: that it would if it could be made to realize the situation. e . DEVELCOP THE WATER POWER. In connection with the question of provilling power Fuel Administrator Garfleld has authorized a survey for the purpose of determining the merits of the idea of estblishing larze power plants near the mines in Pennsylvania in order to cut down on the transpor- tation of fuel, the plan being to trans- mit_electrical power by high tension wires_instead of sending coal by rail What the result of this investiga- tion will be cannot be foretold. It may be found that it is just what'is :equired to heip out the situatiom, but while the matter of power transmis- sion is under consideration it would seem to be high time that as much if not more attention was given to.the matter of utilizing the great number of water privileges throughout the .country for the purpose of generating electricity at -hydro-electric plants Where the use of coal would be climinated and a double saving ef- fected. That there are opportunities for the development of millions upon millions of horsepower through such stations is well understood. Increased atten- tion has been directed to” them be- cause of the shortage of coal that has been experienced and' many such vlants. or the enlargement of those es- tablished, are already started or un- der contemplation. There {s need, however, of making ‘the most of the cheap waterpower which has been go- ing to waste for centuries and a sur- vey of the situation with the idea in view of making a more determined move in that dlreqkon would certainly be timely, TIME TO CLEAN UP, We are riow getting along Into the month of April and entering the sea- son when the outdoor work s going to steadily increase. It is the time of vear when the housewives are putting the dwelling, or thinking seriousl; about it, wnd it is certainly time that there should be a determined effort put forth for the improvement of the anpearance of tae yards, vacant lots, streets and alleys where the accumu- lations of winter are to be found in quentities. Much of this unsightly debris could have been prevented had ihere been due consideration on the part of those responsible, for there is little excusc for those who open a window and throw their tin cans and waste paper cut into the yard instead of exerclsing |- 2 little care and placing them in re- ceplacles to be removed each wesk, |¢© Such were of course covered up whil we were getting in their disfizuring array, a discredi: ‘o the houschold, the neizhborheo: and the community.
