tosses than the enemy can. ,(Jiist
as Grant, In the final campaign
before Richmond, could afford to
lose more men than Lee.) ; , '
Judged by that standard, von
Rundstedt's thrust Into the Ar
dennes forest was a costly fall
lire. ";
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. ,

!; 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

24.9 per cent of the voters in this country have received no j 11"w'cntl. loss of aH pay and

. 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.

BEFORE kicking up too loud n

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
