But why not? oremism is the most pronounced American character- It makes our millionaires, builds our great cities, tS US a great people—and WINS OUR WARS, — | If President Lincoln had given way to the Pp imists | Union would have lost the civil war. If Washington, won only one victory, had not been anguine of suc- ” there would have been no United States. So why not be optimistic now, when we are with our greatest need for optimism? We have just won our first great victory on the western mt. Why shouldn't we cheer and throw our hats in the warning * Supposiny, the Germans do turn about and give our a licking. Will that dim the glory of Chateau or lessen the triumph of the Marne Will it diminish the glorious optimism that found ex on in the reply of an American general who, when lective he had selected, said: e hell we can’t! Any place I ask my boys to go, il GO!” Will it dampen the spirit of those comment when seriously wounded was we can’t chase the Heinies any mor eeression may be the mental attitude of a British after a reverse. But not of an American Yank! “The pessimist sa “Germany MAY win the war. The optimist replies: “Germany SHALL NOT win war!” We would respectfully advise our allies to follow the tan example rather than deprecate it. Let prereany have the despondency, the pessimism, the © OPTIMISM WILL W THE WAR! Germany has arranged for a Bolshevik guard at the an embassy in Petrograd.

Power for the Farms The following is suggested by Assistant Ousley: “Agriculture has contributed its due share of to the army—perhaps no more, certainly no less. Other industries that have contributed man army have recruited man power from the farms. Despite this disturbance, the farmers this year have in- their production over last year, which was an over the year before; they have worked more more hours, and have put their families to work; have labored in the fields while their babies slept shade of near-by trees; many country children have while many city children have played.

From the ostrich point of view, however, they're still necessities. What . Americans Now A Londoner recently wrote to a London daily prote because Canadian soldiers had been called “Americans” its pages. The editor solemnly and. patiently wrote a ly explaining t Canada was as much a part of North ica as the United States, and even a larger part. The point for regret is not that it was necessary for a newspaper to explain this to its readers in this en- itened day, but that this distinction of nationality should le made between dian soldiers and those of the United Of course, for purposes of military organization the © armies must be distinct, but for purposes of winning the ir, we're all AMERIC( now There is no army in the field that so closely resembles ir own in personnel and in fighting ability as the Canadian. of both armies are stalwart, healthy, upstanding icans of the best manhood of North America. Their ikes and dislikes, even their army slang, are the same. They Moke the same brand of cigarets and maybe they even to the same girls. That’s one reason why the Canadian soldier feels drawn ard his brother from below the sat Lakes. The most important reason is that the quicker the ed armies on the western front are welded into one, as well as in theory and in command, the quicker win this war. Benjamin Franklin’s famous declaration, together, or assuredly we will all hang separately !” is good today of all the armies that are fighting Terror- and Hunishness We must cons ider ourselves, as all British, all nch, all thing, all AMERICANS.
