"; THE losses, as announced, af ford another interesting slant. We took approximately , 21 times as many prisoners as von Rundstedt did. It is a. fairly fcolj established rule of war that more prisoners are tuken by tho OF FENSIVE side than by the de fensiveespecially In a sudden drive In unexpected strength;: ac companied by surprise. , Thttb - Is easily understood, i The defend ers, fending off a thrust they weren't looking for, ore' apt to be broken up into small units, which are surrounded by the swiftly advancing enemy. Yet, with all this In his favor, Von Rundstedt lost more thdn twice as many prisoners as we did. Why? ' ,' ' .' '' ' ' We distant .and. uninformed home -f ranters don't know, but we can gueRS that ho was taking long chances, gambling for big stakes, and that our men, al though taken by surprise, held llrm and were not demoralized by the enemy's swift and power ful blows. , OUR obvious conclusion is that the Germans were BUYING TIME. Why they were willing to pay such a price for the time thus bought, we do not know. Maybe they still hope for a quarrel among us, the British nnd the Russians. Maybe they ore readying secret weapons, as Ihey so vociferously claim, alitl Jieed more time to perfect them. iMuybe they are Just postponing the Inevitable evil hour. Tills question then arises: Will they strike again? As to that, time will tell. IF we Americans are wise, we will keep our fingers crossed nbout Poland, the Balkans, etc., Where the Russians arc methodi cally establishing something even more tangible than a sphere oi Influence. It Is obvious by this lime that Moscow knows what it is about and Is determined to Carry through whatever plans it has in mind. Since we can't stop what Rus sia proposes to do there, we jnlght as well hold the hope that it may turn out to be the best in the Jong run. , OL1SLAV BERUT, president of the new Polish provisional covernmcnt just , established at l.ublln with Russian aid, called Jn the correspondents at- a din jier the other night and told them Borne Interesting tilings about Poland.- - Before the war, he said, more than 70 PER CENT of the Po lish population consisted of peas ants "who existed, but scarcely lived, on the land of 10,500 per sons owning all the money-making farms In Poland." These "marginul and sunn-ar-ginttl peasants," he continued, jverc unabli; to .Ray for and con- i ' Mtlkit Pubu1jjj44s!S'i.tioii . i ' i !; THE 18-YEAR OLb VOTER ' By Charles CHALL voting age bo lowered tion being seriously debated in many states of the Union and one coming before the Oregon legislature at its current session. . It is quite probable the matter will be referred by the legislators to the people of Oregon. : lit is easy to say :"lf he is old enough to fight for his conn try, he. is.old. enough to vote." It is an appealing sentinvmt. At first glance it would seem indisputable. But what happened to an 18-year-old before he was able to fight? ...... ; He was placed jn a camp where every waking hour was devoted to one task and one task alone learning to fight. He was carefully Coached and trained. He spent hour upon hour marching marching ached, his feet covered with blisters, und he was ready to drop with exhaustion. He learned his weapons and how to use them. He was drilled and drilled until every movement became mechanical. This went on for months and months, often for a year or more, and, for battle and was sent out to But even then his every movement was supervised. He was told, what to do and when to do it. If he showed superior talent, he was made a non-commissioned officer and took on more responsible duties. aptitude, he may have become there were still men to give him orders and supervision. Who would think of appointing an untrained, 18-year-old youth to lead an army? Or out an army of untrained 18 combat? If : 18-year-olds could be as they are taught to fight we would be very much in favor of permitting them the right of franchise. In fact, as soon as, enough had been' so qualified, we would favor disfran chising all untrained voters. ' It is true that high school youths are given a smattering of history and civics.; But we doubt if any great number of ; 18-eai-olds could debate seriously upon any major politi cal issues. Their minds are not attuned to such subjects, The American Legion In its Beaver Boys State, an annual summer school where a selected group ol boys receives special training in civics and administration, is doing a re markably fine work in educating voters. , But rather than lower voting qualifications, it is our opin ion they should be raised. I jiimes J. Cupp, Mollno, 111., and ! Records recently compiled by the National Commission ! 20 yJor TJesj. Rop for the Defense of Democracy Through Education show that! also entailed dishonorable dis 24.9 per cent of the voters in this country have received no j 11"w'cntl. loss of aH pay and fjiore than a 6th grade education; 39.1 per cent have had j Rot!pkc sakl lhat snortiy af((n one or more years of high school education, 24.1 per cent: they landed in France the battai have graduated from high school and 4.6 per cent are col-' mSH'iMuSZ lege graduates. j men, ."If any of you go hungry . Simply because a man has not had more than a 6th grade Xn onTic'system'of tducation does not necessarily mean ho is ignorant or un qualified as a voter'. ' Nor do we imply that a person is ignorant at the age of 18 years. What we are endeavoring to point out is that we need training and education to be voters just as we need instruction to be soldiers. ' If an 18-year-old youth is old enough to fight after a (year's training, he would be old enough to vote if given the samo type of intensive instruction in the duties of citizen ship. But when he is required to obtain that knowledge through association and debate with people little more in formed than himself, or through serious study, which all too few Voters attempt, he needs more years to mature his judgment before undertaking the right of franchise. Proper voting Is as important as winning wars. In fact, if every nation had voters who were trained and qualified before being permitted to cast have fewer wars. It is Irresponsible leadership that produces war and such leadership results only from failure of people of a country to see clearly and Sentiment is a fine thing in its place, but if we learn any thing from the great war in which we are now engaged it should bo the lesson of individual responsibility toward gov ernment. Rather than introducing a large body of untrained and largely irresponsible voters, we should be thinking of ways to create more thoroughly qualified voters among those to whom tho privilege of franchise now is permitted. sume enough of the products of Polish industry to BUILD UP a volume that could employ a large number of industrial workers. Hence Polish Industry LAN QU1SHED. T HAT is anything but a sound picture. Yet it Is a picture of the Poland of before the war the Poland that Is represented by the Polish government in exile In London which the Russians upset the aristocratic, more or less feudal Poland with which we are vaguely familiar through his tory, song and story. A Poland made up of glittering nobles and slurvlng peasants. BEFORE kicking up too loud n disturbance about what the Russians are planning in Poland, maybe we'd betor read up a little more fully on the Poland of the past- so that we may better un derstand lis almost constant tur moil. Maybe there has been a screw loose there. Maybe what Russia Is planning tor the Poles will be even better than what they have had. So far as ALL THE POLES (not just the great nobles' are concerned, almost anything could be as good as what they've known for centuries. Benjamin Fnmklln Was tho flint postmaster general of the United Sutto.. V. Stanton to 18 years? That is a qucs- until every bone in his body finally, he was pronounced fit fight. Or, with ability and special a commissioned officer, but who would think of sending - year - old youths to engage in thoroughly trained to vote as ballots, we probably would act responsibly.
