THE YEARS WE LOST
The Springfield Republican takes
comfort from the thought that we
declared war on Germany a year
ago. Otherwise, It reasons, we
might find ourselvea today aa pow
erless before the Hun aa Russia Is.
This argument the Republican bases
on the fact that we have employed
the intervening year in military
preparation. It Is a pity that the
gifted possessor of so much hind
sight did not go further and point
out how much better off we would
be if we had begun that military
preparedness two years . before we
did. Our failure to do so was not
for lack of warning. Stout voices
were raised In behalf of so sensible
a course, but the president resolute
ly refused to hear or to heed them.
He permitted the U. S. to drift into
war without forethought for the
means by which it would be tarried
on; and the feverish haste and waste
of the past year have not made up
for the lost time which we might
hare employed in putting ourselves
In a state of defense which would
have advanced our effectiveness in
war, when we finally did go In, to an
extent which no man can estimate

"Next time we are relieved I think
I shall ask If I can't stay alth the
relief. I don't want to tome here
attain anil stand guard over the end
of a belt rope where there Is nothing
going on. Nearly every, other man I
know feels the same way about It.
They would pick the line every
time."
President Wilson, In his telegram
to the president of the t'nited Car
penters and Joiners' union, summed
up the whole situation when he said.
"Will you cooperate or will you ob
struct?" This applies with equal
force to every Individual In the Unit
ed States, and It is not only the
president of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners' to whom
this question is addressed, but to
every other union, and to every citi
zen, and to every manufacturer and

OF
LIFE IN TRENCHES
With the American Army In
France, February 15. (Correspon
dence). Here's an incident that
happened in a little shell-spattered
town in the rear of our lines which
shows how the average American
soldier feels about life in the
trenches. It was Just at dusk. A
lone sentry was walking up and
down In front of an abandoned
church, upon the door of which was
a little printed sign conveying the
information that in the event of a
gas alarm the church bell should be
rung for a minute. It was the sen
try's duty to pull at the bell rope,
should occasion arise.
He was plastered with mul from
head to foot. A substance not un
like red mortar was ground into his
putties. There was a dent in the
canteen swung at his waist, the top
of his shrapnel helmet bore red,
muddy stains, his face was covered
with a growth of about three days
of hair.
Falling to see a pamlng captain of
artillery, he did not salute. The
captain asked him a few pointed
questions, gave him a few pointed in
structions about saluting and passed
on.
"Good Lord," remarked the sen
try, "I have been out of the trenches
days now and I am going
back tonlsht perfectly happy. There
used to be a time when I thought a
trench was about the last place on
earth to spend a week or so. But I
have changed my mind. There Is
that officer, for Instance. I ran Into
him up on the line not long qgo and
he was nlcec as could be. Now be-,
cause I did not see him I catch h .
"Yes sir, give me the trenches
