OTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. you fail to receive your copy of THE TIMES as promptly as you have in the past, please do not think it has been lost or was not sent on time. Remember that the railroads are engaged with the urgent movement of troops and their supplies; that there is unusual pressure in various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many trains are late. TH TIMES has increased its mailing equipment and is coin every way with the postoffice department to expedite delivery. Even so, delays are inevitable baof the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal at men from many lines of work.

of the war, speaks kindly of Sir Edward Grey, Britis

foreign minister, whom he records as "a pacifist." He

speaks with equal kindness of Asquith. then the premier, who was also a pacifist. When war was finally declared the ex-ambassador says of his last interview: "'On Aug. 2, when I saw Asquith. in order to make a final attempt, he was completely broken down, and although quite calm, tears ran down his face" The pacifism and the tears did credit to the heart of Premier Asquith, but Great Britain, as events have fully proved, was unfortunate in having a man at the head of its government who believed in pacifism and who shed tears when his country was forced into the war. What Great Britain need then was men after the type of Wellington Nelson, and Pitt, who would have faced the crisis unmoved, who would have sacrificed the last pound and the last British soldier to save the emand who would have realized that the most critical hour in the history of the British empire had struck. France, only one of the great democracies, saw clearly the meaning of the war; she saw only of them all the ruthless purposes or Germany. And she, of all the democracies was most ready, and she of all of

them has won most honor and most glory in the war against Germany. When this war is over, when the re sults of all mistakes have been overcome, when a trivictory is achieved, we trust that America and Great Britain will have learned the error of following doctrinaires, who exalt weakness and decry self-reliance and who preach irresponsibility instead of responsibility.

WE HAVE NONE OF THOSE. In West Hammond, which is over the line in the noble old state of Illinois, saloons have been limited to one to each 150 of population. and four aldermen have been granted licenses. The situation is inexplicable until one underthat West Hammond, Ill., adjoins Ham-Ind.-South Bend Tribune. And at that neither place has a multimillionaire who took his pampered pet to Washington and got him a slacker's job in order to keep him out of the trenches, while he himself goes around the country lecturing on patriotism and you won't see this in any South Bend paper, either.

THE DRIVE THAT FAILED. The great Austrian drive against Italy turns out to be the most cheering thing that has happened to the Allies this year. As a drive, it is a joke. It may almost be said to have stopped before it started. The Italians, with a little help from the British and French, checked the initial blows in almost every sector of the great battle front, and in many cases promptly threw back the aswith an actual loss of territory. In the few places where the enemy succeeded in advancing at all, he was quickly "contained" before he had got far enough

to do any harm. In these exceptional cases the defend

ers have been fighting with such zest and force that it seems only a question of days, or hours, when the foe will be driven back altogether behind the lines he started from. It is something quite new in the annals of trench warfare. By all precendent, the Austrian should have plunged ahead in their first rush, as the Germans have done lately in Flanders and France, and as the British and French have done whenever they launched a big offensive. The battering ram is always expected to pierce the front lines. It is an acknowledged fact of the new strategy that it takes several days to bring a powerful thrust to a halt, before the counter-offensive can begin. And here we find the counter-offensive startalmost simultaneously with the offensive itself. Any tyro in war criticism can see in this developthe pleasing proof that Austria-Hungary today, ex erting its utmost effort, is far inferior to Italy in military and public morale. War-paralysis has come upon the autocratic, artificial, predatory empire of KaisKarl, while the free, youthful, democratic monarchy of Italy is at the zenith of its power.

HOW FAR BEHIND THE BOYS ARE YOU? One of Pershing's men, returned from France, was speaking: "When I left for home," he said, "the boys over there were feeling pretty blue, because they thought that you here in America were not backing them up as. you ought. We had a pretty bitter winter over there. The weather was the coldest France has known in years. Many of us were without proper food and clothing. Some were even without shoes. None of us were com plaining, though, but the feeling that when we were doso much for you, you were not doing everything in your power to back us up sometimes bit in pretty hard. "We felt like the little Irishman felt in a Y. M. C. A. hut one evening A bunch of us had gathered there to listen to a speaker from America. During the course of his lecture he said: "We in America are behind you boys to a man." "Then my little Irish friend got up. 'Yes,' he re'you're all behind us, all right, a hell of a ways behind-4,000 miles.'"

DOCTORS FOR PROHIBITION. The sprech made by Dr. Arthur Dean Bevan on the occasion of his installation as president of the American Medical Association at its recent convention was a speech in favor of national prohibition. "There can he no doubt," said Dr. Bevan, "that the greatest single factor we can control in the interest of of the public health of the nation that would be the elimof alcoholic drink. I want to plead for the united action of the organized medical profession of the country to secure protection by law against the injury that drink is doing to our people, not as a political measbut as the most important health measure that coul be secured." He also said that for the prosecution of the war "we must organize the entire nation in the most efficient way possible, and this cannot be done without eliminating drink." One by one the big constructive forces of the nation line up on the non-alcoholic side of the question. The only big force left seems to be that of the men who make and sell the alcoholic beverages. And as the man ufacturers turn to the production of soft drinks, or of alcohol for industrial purposes, or any of the numerous allied products for which there is a great and wholedemand, they find themselves faring quite as prosas in the good old days. It is not without great significance that the AmeriMedical Association stands so strongly for dryness. In time even the brewers and distillers may join them.

UNPREPAREDNESS FOR WAR. The pro-German element in America and Great Britain were not responsible for the development of the popular support of pacifism in America, which Germany found so useful when she launched the world war. The pro-Germans merely assisted the pacifists and used them at a critical period in the history of our country. Great Britain first and now America are suffering because they gave heed to the doctrinaires, who in the name "liberal ism" taught irresponsibility instead of responsibility and who exalted weakness instead of strength. In his mempublished last week, Prince Lichnowsky, who was German ambassador to Great Britain at the outbreak

all established principles of diplomatic intercourse and the weaving of a gigantic spy system throughout a friendly and neutral nation, are some of the

things that have taken long to penetrate the hard shell of security and trust that had formed over the minds of the American people. But now that we are aroused and have undertaken to help avenge the wrongs of civilization, there will be no turning back. If ever there was a war for humanity, this is. It is made plain that we want nothing for ourselves. We are not in this war for self gain, but for humanity, and we will win if it takes every man and woman in America to do it. This is a time for people to think. Doubts should not be tolerated. The ignorant and the timid are always filled with doubts.
