Other citizens have told us, and we believe It Is true, that it is the simplest matter In the world to drop behind in payments to the Vigo County War Fund. The response for signatures •was splendid. The people, men, women and children, entered into the plan with admirable spirit and everyone realizes that if the fund is well supported it Is going to make the burden of everyone lighter and place Vigo county in an enviable position in her response to the various calls from the government to uphold her arin In the great struggle.

But, as we ft seems a Terycommon experience to overlook or forget one's payments, and the result Is that large areas of what should: bo an united, solidified plan are laggard, and are holding back th® success of the enterprise.

The Vigo War Fund is a splendid, wonderful thing. Since It was started here at least forty large cities have adopted the idea, and within the past few days the same plan under the name of "The War Chest** has been launched In New York and Cleveland.

Terre Haute should be congratulated on her pioneering In this work. I ft time it will be understood what an immense work Mr. Herman Hulman undertook and successfully launched, hut 1t will be our most unpleasant and

really alarming experience of the war if we permit the plan to collapse. Of course it won't collapse entirely. There will be a certain per cent of loyal citizens to do their bit faithfully, loyally and uncomplainingly, but It will be to the shame of any subscriber should he default on this pledge to the government.

Here's another point. The plan Is wholly volunteer, it is without a penny's profit to any individual, and there is no share of it to pay collectors. The original idea was that the money should go to the government to help win the war, and not be dissipated in salaries and such before It reached Uncle Sam. This purpose has been religiously adhered to.

There are no funds to pay collectors. So remember prompt payment each month is not only admirable compliance with your duty, but Is a confirmation of the patriotic purpose with which you signed your name. To fall to see that the fund gets your payment each month would reflect on one. nearly as disagreeably as a refusal to originally participate in the plan.

LOOKY HERE, KAISER!

There Is no comfort for the kaiser in the figures of the third Liberty Loan. While4 not yet complete, they show that th* loan was largely oversubscribed and that Secretary McAdoo's appeal for 20,000,000 individual bond buyers was not overshooting the mark much, after all.

This is the outstanding fact in connection with the recent bond drive that will carry most weight among understanding people, whether allies or enemies. The Germans sneered at our first bond issue, because they said it was a forced success, made so by the government ordering the banks to underwrite It. There were approximately 4,500,000 subscribers to that issue. On the next drive there were about 10,000,000, and on the third attempt the number of buyers was almost doubled again. The banking resources of the country were not drawn on to an injurious extent to make this possible,

and the real wealth and patriotism of the nation have been most strikingly shown. The people are out to, win the war.

BREATHE EASIER.

The revelation of the real facts yesterday concerning the American army will squelch the critics who have sought to make people believe that Uncle Sam had "fallen down" on his promises to our allies.

It would be refreshing to see the airplane critics as completely exterminated.

Secretary Baker's plan for an army limited in size only by the ability of the government to equip and transport troops is sound and sensible. That limit is the only limit congress can afford to consider if the United States is fully to meet the situation created by the German spring offensive.

What the allies need most Is manpower, for they have been obliged to use up their own reserves to meet the German drive. Man-power is what they will need most for the rest of the year, food, raw material and other supplies from the United States being taken for granted, Just as money i3 taken for granted.

This country is now the great reservoir of man-power of the self-govern-ing nations at war with Germany, The British have combed out their available men until comparatively few are left who can be spared from essential industry. This is true also for the French. The United States has already furnished enough troops to offset the losses of the British and French since the German offensive began.

The Germans were at their maximum fighting strength on March 21, when Hindenburg began the attack on the British lines. The losses that they have sustained during the last six weeks cannot be replaced. The eastern front was stripped before the drive in the west began, and there are no untapped reservoirs of German reserves.

The difficulties in the way of sending American troops to France have been largely overcome by means of the nnl-

fled command and the policy of brigading Americans with the French and British, thus dealing with all of them aa one army. We ar® no longer dependent upon a single French port, and troops sent by the way of England do not have to cross the British lines of communication In order to reach the front. American troops can be transported in increasing numbers as the shipping facilities grow, and every regiment will add to the numerical advantage of the allies.

There is no merit in trying to fix any particular number of troops to be raised and equipped during th© year.

An army without limit la the true index to the sentiment of the American people In this war.

ABOUT POTATO PRICES.

A reader of the Tribune suggests that if potatoes had been offered at a low enough price the surplus would have been consumed long ago. That is not the question now. A reasonable price has been fixed and the public is .asked to eat more potatoes in order to save more wheat. Th® matter of helping those who own the potatoes to get rid of them is only incidental

Now that the armies of the allies are locked in a death grapple with the invading Hun, armifes of which our own "boys in brown" are an integral and active part, it becomes a matter of vital importance for each one of us to know as nearly as may be just what is transpiring at the front, how the battle is going along those three hundred odd miles which mark for us the frontier of freedom. The daily papers give some idea of the situation, but

Why the Great German Push Has Failed

Victory is the bag of oats continually dangled in front of the German people, remarks the Chicago Daily News "they never get it but they believe it is never far away." -Thus while the kaiser declares flamboyantly that "the people who wish to destroy us are digging their own graves," the desperate German thrust in the battle of the western front fails disastrously General Ludendorff announces that "the idea of forcing success by the employment of masses must be abolished absolutely" because "it only leads to unnecessary losses"jand, as the New York World notes, even the Berlin battle-bulletins begin to read as though it was an allied offensive which is being victoriously resisted by the Germans.

Meanwhile, American battalions are fighting valiantly on a sector of the Picardy front which blocks the way to Amiens, and the process of fusing the allies into one invincible army—the greatest ever commanded by a single general—is being accelerated and completed in the furnace of the German offensive.

There is a searching analysis and review in THE LITERARY DIGEST for May 11th, of the great drive on the western front showing all its many angles, and drawn from all sources of available information.
