AMERICA’S WORK GREATEST.
Then' is no rivalry among the allies
for ctainis of credit, but there is a
tendency on the part of some states
men to discuss the three great power«
on equal terms. Recognizing England's
wonderful work on sea and land, hold
ing back no credit from France and
Italy for their defensive and offensive
programs, we still urge that the great
work of the war has been done and
will be done by America.
It was
America thut fed England and France
when food was the first essential. It
was America that furnished munitions
legally at a critical moment and it was
America that sent the reserves when
the allied reserves were failing. But
this is not the big thing; the real thing
'of the war is that we have sent a mil
lion and a half men across three thou
sand miles of water and an average
of half that distance over land, says
St. Louis Times. Our boys are fight-1
inp far from home. England's men are
merely across the channel from
“Blighty" and France is fighting on her
own ground. When the war is over
the big credit for winning it must cothe
to America, where it belongs.
The German diplomats speak of
“pawns” which they hold in their
hands for trading off at a peace con
ference. But they are veritable pawns
compared with the knights which the
allies have on the chessboard. Their
control of the sea gives them, so long
as the Germans cannot break it. a
power which can be used so ns to com
pel Germany in the end to ask for
pence. German trade can be openly
threatened for a generation to coni'
unless the German government agrees
to such terms of peace as have been
laid down by President Wilson, says
New York Evening Post.
Germany
has Already a warning of what may
happen in the plan of the administra
tion to take away the Hamburg and
North German Lloyd docks in this
country.
THE «©RALE.
"Morale” la a great word these
days. Here Is an article in the New
York Tlniea tnagaaine entitled “Italy'«
New Morale," What does It mean I
Certainly not artillery, regiments,
munitions of war, or anything of a
material nature. It Is altogether n
different force. It is spiritual, or as
Ren Hur described it. “the resolution
which Is the soul of a man's soul” It
Is that which possesses a soldier
to make him brave, faithful and self
sacrificing. says Ohio State Journal.
Without It he Is a coward. So the
great thing Is to keep up the morale
of an array. The recent victory of the
Italians was won by their morale, by
their spirit pushing to the front, w here
brave deeds were ueeded. The morale
Is the grandest part of any man.
wherever he Is. It is needed every
where—In religion, education, politics,
business, family life. But It never
comes for
low, mean cause. The
spirit is God in the life of a tuan. The
morale is the reawakening of ourself
from within, where God put all of
real worth in a man. So It makes a
better tighter, better business man,
better scholar, better worker out of
a man.

Come to everybody. Life has more
ups and downs. Right now, while
you are making, you ought to be
saving; then when the downs come
you will have something to fall

Where is the money you have been

it and somebody else put it in the

why let the other save what you
