TILTING AT THE WINDMILL?
VERY AMERICAN familiar with the life story of Henry
E Ford will hesitate to condemn him as a mere visionary, or
to indulge in ridicule upon the occasion of his apparently quix­
otic voyage to the Great War. Only a dreamer with executive
energy and ability to realize his visions could have builded the
colossal commercial success that Henry Ford has. • While we
may differ in opinion as to the probable efficiency of his efforts
towards peace, we should feel shame to answer to the ribald roll
of those who decry such effort.
It is preposterous to presume that the financier is entering
the jungle of conflict with his judgm ent clouded, without defi­
nite plans, or assurance that these plans will be considered.
At any rate, the dollars that charter and coal the peace ship
a 3 Henry Ford’s dollars. The hope of service is Henry Ford’s
hope.
Let them be.

NLISTMENT of responsible citizens to the ranks of a Jackson
E county taxpayer’s league is a most commendable proposal.
Why not a taxpayer’s league, anyhow? There already exists
clubs and societies to commemorate and carry-on any quantity of
frivolous social business. Daughters of This and Knights of
That are so frequent that even the chronic ‘ joiner” is forced to
thoughtful decision by the limitations of his spare time.
A Jackson county taxpayer’s league would be, essentially,
both club and forum to the plain people who are interested in
lightening the burden, not lengthening the road. There is no
question but that officials of the county now desire, and would
gladly welcome, the cooperation and advice of such an organi­
zation in the economical transaction of public business.
BRIEF WAR NEWS
Late reports from Mesopotamia
show that the British hold the battle­
field of Oteslphon, and that the Turks
are retiring to Dialah, within 10 miles
of Bagdad.
The Turks are showing more activ­
ity in the Gallipoli peninsula, where,
with new supplies and ammunition,
they have made an attack on the al­
lies' positions without, however, mak­
ing any gains.
The Serbian forces soon will be­
come an army without a country, un­
less the French should defeat the Bul­
garians. Closely pursued by the Aus­
trians, the Serbs are crossing the fron­
tier Into Montenegro, west of Mltro-
vltza, it la stated official^ at Vienna.
In Galicia the Austro-Germans are
attacking in the hope of compelling
the Russians to divert a part of the
Bessarabian army thence. While the
Austrians opposing the Italian offen­
sive on the Isonzo are unable to get
assistance, they are counter attacking
with terrific fury.
For some reason, variously explain
ed, the Bulgarians have halted their
march on Monastlr. It Is said lawouip
dispatches that, having reoccupied a
part of Macedonia, largely inhabited
by their fellow nationals, the Bulgar­
ian people and government sure disin­
clined to push any farther west.
The situation along the Roumanian
frontier, where a great Russian force
Is said to have been gathered, 'Is Still
obscure. It Is reiterated that General
Alexei Kuropatkin is to command this
Russian army of invasion, which will
either be sent up the Danube or allow­
ed to pass through Roumania to attack
Verna from the land -side.
