Crila. thn famous Cleveland surgeon, returning to this country after five month of hospital work. In France, says that ho U surprised at the optimism he find. "It la only after my arrival at New York," he aaya. "that I find talk of an early end of the war. I Iiear no one over there express the opinion that the enemy km weak nine or that the Germans were Btarrlnf. I talked with many Ger man prisoners. They teemed to have been well fed and well taken car of. "Germany is conducting a wide spread peace offensive against the people of the United States. She is conducting it in this country. And from the expressions I hear on every land at home, it looks as though she was being succesf ul to a decided degree. Have you noticed that the very day, or the next day following newspaper reports of mutinies or riots In Germany, a first class Teu tonic offensive starts which gains more ground in a week, than the allies have gained In months?" While there may be dissatisfac tion among Germans, that nation is no where near civil disintegra tion. Germans are probably hearing of I. W. W. riots, and bomb plots, and factory explosions and dock fires, and the like which are almost daily ooeuring In America. But what American would seriously question the national determination to fight this war to a successful finish? We know that the Russian col lapse has released large Teutonic armies along that front for action elsewhere. We surmise that this is the real explanation of German suc cesses in the Italian offensive, coupled with the usual German! strategy of striking a fierce Wow against the weakest link in the al lied chain, in the hope that she ran start a move for peace while she Is In a position, territorially, to make concessions and still win a substan tial victory for kaiserlsm. But we certainly do not know that Germ soy is so weak that she cannot keep .ip the fight for years to come, and it ; is the part of foolishness for thin government to proceed on any other assumption. Word from Washington Indicates that those In authority there aTe of this opinion. War preparations have been started on a vast scale. They are constantly being broaden ed. There is talk of an army of 6,000,000 men. While every 'Am erican hopes that It will not be ne cessary to throw such an army Into the scales on the side of justice and democracy, still the country as a whole realizes that it will be in finitely fatter to train too many m?n than too few: to build more ships than are absolutely needed, and to Saturday NOV. 22-24 You ask us "What is a One Cent Sale?" h is ? sa,e.whc yu uv an item for the - - - t regular price then another article of the kind for lc.
