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. I

E
Jledl'ord will have a Ilmne Ounrd
military company of between 100 and
200 members, composed of men who
because of af-'e or physical disability
are ineligible for active service at
the front.
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. Kel
T!:o deep seated patriotic feelini
of t!:e ji.;:iciid;!age was shown when,
in opening tile meeting, Mayor Gates
introduced Sergeant Frank, 11 year
old mascot of the Seventh company
('. A. 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. The main idea is to
form an organization for home pro
tectionto guard the railioad tun
