"My Country 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land
of Liboriy.'
BOOST, DON'T KNOCK.'
The old slogan as applied to business
arid general civic affairs just now has
a place in patriotism. The country
was never more sorely in need than
right now of boosters. We need ev
. eryhody to "root" for the big war
game. And it- little scriptural para
phrase may be applicable: "Ho that
rootcth not for us is, against us."
These are the trying times, and not
the least of the difficulties in the way
are the misguided patriots who per
sist in rocking the boat. The most
alarming symptoms are not apparent
so much 'among the' general ' run of
people as it is the highest councils of
the nation; Members of congress who
criticiso the war preparations are not
anti-patriots by any means. On the
whole some good has come from the
agitation which has brought out a lit
tle tetter understanding through Tnore
general 'publicity. Hut it is quite evi
dent that some of the critics are prem-
atuie.

General Forh is credited with being

great forte in strategic maneuvers is
in having at nil times a force of re

known to the enemy and even as far
as practicable to the general public.
These forces of reserves are kept In
readiness to strike at any time mid at
