Ambulauco Scrvico, IT Corouei NO PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY. THAT there will lie no peace without victory is the eon elusion of Frank J I. Sinionds, who lias won wide repu tation as a war writer. He lias just returned from Europe, where he visited the battle trout and m t'.'e April Jieview or Reviews sets lortli Ins eonelusions. lie states: "As far as the military situation was eoncemed, there was a fixed belief in the Uritish army that the German military machine was slowly hut surely breaking down and that the ultimate defeat of this army in the field was only a matter of time, eonceivahly not to eonie until 1918, but certainly not. to be postponed longer. The individual Uritish soldier held this opinion, based upon his own per sonal observation of what was taking place before him, his experience with the steadily rising tide of German deser tion, and his recognition or the declining iorce ot German resistance as he encountered it. "The situation was not different in France. I heard from French officers the story of the last fighting about Verdun, which regained for the French Dnuaumont, and Vaux, which I visited, and the ground to the north. To the mind of the French soldier these, last conflicts demon strated the superiority of French organization and system over the German and proved that the new French com mander. General ivelle, had round a way to deal with Ihe trench war, which had become so terrible a burden to the French spirit. "Neither in (he French nor the Kritish army was there any question as to the outcome, save in the matter of time and on this point I found the French more optimistic, than the Uritish. lioth armies are equally 'resolved upon peace after victory and both are satisfied that the signs are already unmistakable. "Ho far as I could judge by what T saw at the front and back of the front, there is no present prospect of peace in Europe, and there is as much determination as ever to carry on the war to victory. And 1 must emphasize again the fact that the confidence increases as one approaches the front, and those most assured ol complete triumph are ihe men who are dealing day by day with the enemy across the narrow strip ot Ao Alan s Land." "In all the things that are considered the machinery of an army, the British have now passed both the Germans and the French. 'Their equipment, their armory of heavy artillery, their stocks of munitions are unequaled, and their soldiers are cared for and provided for as no other troops about whom 1 know anything. TAX THE SLACKERS NUM KIx'OLJS requests are being made that the city fur nish free water to those desiring to plant vacant lots to gardens. The request seems unreasonable and unjust to those who have improved places. The city water rates arc very low for irrigation, when the amount of Avater consumed is considered, and gardeners can easily afford to pay for the water used. Many crops, such as potatoes, can be matured without water, providing there is sufficient cultivation, and such crops should be planted. 1 he. season promises to be a late and moist one, with every prospect for summer showers. The city lot idea is an excellent one, but more to the point are the vast stretches of idle land throughout the valley, which should lie planted at once, or the valuation increased for taxation purposes. Tlio agricultural slackers arc just as unpatriotic as those that shirk military and other services to their eoun- try.

Initial steps toward the orpiniza tion of (lie company were taken at a mass nicetinj;, called by Mayor C, K. Gates at the hijth school assem bly room Tuesday evening. About 250 patriotic citizens of all walks of iif were inatlendance, eighty of whom at once surncd their names to the preliminary company membership roll. Mayor Gates was chosen tempor ary chairman and Frank Hcdclin temporary secretary. Committees on permanent plan of organization and armament were appointed to re port at another mass meeting to be held at the same place next Monday .evening. The general committee on organization plan consists of Delroy (letcliell, George Collins, Will G. Sleel, Dr. K. II. Porter nnd K. E.

C, for a cornet solo. The lad immedinlcly began playing the Star Spangled Banner, and with one ac cord every man jumped to his feet and stood throughout the rendition. The meeting was without oratori eal fireworks. Nor were there any decorations. Not even n U. S. flaj of any kind was in sight. But patriot ism was there serious, sober minded patriotism. E. E. Kelly, Spanish-American war eteran, was introduced by Mayor Gales to explain tho Home Guard company plan.
