1 KIPLING ON WAR
"Other wars have been merely wars.
This is for the life and death or we
world's bodv. soul and spirit,"
, This is what Kudyard Kipling wrote
' recently to a personal friend in this
country.
"It isnt pleasant," says Kipling, "to
have girls and children, hospital nurs
es and schoolteachers, blown to bits
or mangled in the streets by bombs.
But aa you say, nothing matters so
long as the Hun is finished lor gooa
and all.
"If the Hun continues to exist as a
nower the world is lost.
, ."There need be no more hate or an
ger over finishing him out than there
,: is in dealing with an epidemic ox ty
phoid or smallpox.
"We know that certain microbes
cause certain diseasse and it is the
business of mankind to clean out and
sterilise the centers where these
Mrmi live and the channels by which
tk mark human beines. as well as
to take care that they shall nave no
further chance of infecting our sys
tems. -
."Less than this means trouble and
, defeat in the future."
THE FIRST SERIOUS DEFEAT"
-
"Events between the Somme and
the Avre constitute the first serious
fcfeat of the war."
Thus the Deutches Zeitung of Ber
lin. Of course, the Deutcnes zercung
never heard of the two battles of the
Maine or the three of Ypres, of Ver
dun" or of the Somme. Its editors ac
cept without reservation or question
the word of the German high com
mand, and that command has yet to
admit that any offensive operation in
four years has proved a failure, or
that any retreat has been other than
"a strategic retirement to previously-
prepared positions." The Zeitung, iiv,
deed, is fsirly representative of the,
German people.
, .None should complain because the
Germans do not know when they are
beaten. The trouble with them is nof
that they have not realized when they
were beaten. Their real difficulty
lies in the fact that they do not yet
know why all civilization is in league
to. beat them.
. The testimony of the Deutches Zei
tung is proof, however, that there is
hope for the race. This great journal
knows, now, that the German arms
have suffered one serious defeat. It
should be but a step to the searching
for the reason. When the German
people really undertake to find out
where they stand in the world and in
the world's opinion, they will have
progressed tremendously.
A few more lessons like those of
the second Marne and of Picardv
should help.
SAYING THINGS AND DOING
' ' THINGS
The best way to measure the
strength- of political parties in cam
. algn is by their issues.
Issues should likewise be and as a
rule are the producers of votes. That
the vote in future campaigns will be
Influenced to greater degree by clear
est issus and less by claims or the in
fluence of astute politicians is one of
the' beneficial consequences of the
war:
In the political skirmishes which
have so far preceded the fall cam
paigns, especially for office in the
United States senate and house of
representatives, no difficulty was en
countered on the part of the Demo
crats to state their issues in precise,
strictly' confined and clear-cut terms.
Can as much be said for the re
publicans? '
lrIH the war" is a national task
not' national political issue. It is
the most important business in which
w as nation are now engaged. It
must and does take precedence before
anything else, but as already stated,
thls'is not a political issue.
Thr manner of performing this task
however, the conducting and manag
ing of this foremost business of ours
is an issue partisan critics seek to
.nis.
Tremendous though this task is, it
can rightfully be claimed that the
present administration has more than
.-onte up to expectations. Innumer
able obstacles encountered in the gi
gantic development of this business of
"winning the war" have been over
come in the past, are daily being sur
mounted and will not block the
achievement of ultimate victory.
It is not claimed that this is a "dem
ocratic war" though it is a "war for
democracy." However, it is a denio-

Party lines have been obliterated
for the sake of efficiency wherever
necessary or advisable. "Politics has
been adjourned" in word and fact, not
withstanding claims to the contrary
by republican officials and publica

Back of the Firing
Line
Modern war conditions demand that our armies must have behind them na
tional solidarity, the coordination of all the vast activities and an indus
trial army many times greater than the Nation's fighting forces.
The Nation's capital is linked with all these varied activities by the toll
and long distance lines of the Bell System. Thonsands of miles of special
wire systems have been turned over to the. Government for its exclusive
use. Switchboards in the Government departments at Washington have
been enlarged and new ones installed. Right of way is given to Govern
ment business over all commercial lines, so that the Government 'chiefs
may keep in constant touch with (very phase of the Nation's great task
and direct its progress intelligently and effectively.
In organizing the military activities of the country, the Government has
had the effective cooperation of the Bell Telephone System, which even
in peace times reached 70,000 communities and now extends to the head
quarters of every Army Department and Naval District In the United States.
THE PACIFIC TELEPHONE &
TELEGRAPH COMPANY
state organ of that party In Indiana,
well-tlvsrribes the activities of rcpub
lican leaders not only in thnt state
but similar conditions as they exist in
other parts of the country.
"If the republican party in Indiana
is to abandon its attitude of unflincli
ing and effective prosecution of the
war to a complete and overwhelming
victory in favor of a timid and trim
ming policy toward the German vote,
then it deserves to lose the election
and it probably will. There is no dif
ference between a democratic copjier-
head in 18t4 and a republican copper
head in 1918. 'Win the war now'
should be every man's motto. The
only criticism that is good for any
thing is one thnt will show us how to
win it quicker and make its results
more permanent and sure."
The political issue is: Help win the
war by supporting the President. Sup
port the President by giving him as
counselors and advisors, the men he
desires, prefers; the help by co-reln-tion
and I! need be co-ordination of
effort and ability. That men of his
own party are more apt to do this is
sound logic.
Soft coal, they say, will do just as
well as any, if only you know how to
fire the furnace properly. But how
do you fire the furnace with no coal?"
MONEY POWER
I The banks and trust comnaniea in
New York state, at the close of the
first half of 1918, had $150,000,000
more resources than they had 12
months before. And this after con
tributing enormous amounta paid out
for Liberty Loans, War Savings
stamps, federal taxes, Red Cross and
: other war purposes.
I In the absence of complete reports
from the whole country we can prob
ably take this situation aa typical. All
! the billions we have poured into the
1 war pot have not impoverished us,
have not weakened us, have not even
lessened our resources. We have ac
tually supported our first year of war
out of our current savings. As a na
tion, we are probably a little ahead of
the game in spite of the drain.
It is an amazing exhibition of finan
cial power, and of the great earning
capacity combined with increased
thrift that makes such power possible.
We may not be able to make so fine a
showing next year, because of the rapidly-mounting
war costs. We cannot
earn much more. We should be able,
however, to save a good deal more,
and end the second year with our
I bank resources only slightly diminish
ed. It all depends on what we spend
I our money for.
