Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Second Claaa Mail Matter. How England Will Try to Use Us v if War Comes Oar country is on the verge of war. A single overt act on the part of a German submarine commander and President Wilson will give the

word to fight. 'It is well, therefore, to consider

how deeply we might be drawn into Europe's

bloody struggle. It will be wise to consider Eng- ' land's policy as shown during the course of the

war and understand its relationship to our own t interests. In the first year of the war England held aloof on the western front while the German

army pounded the Russians to a pulp.. While her

, valiant ally France was bleeding almost to the (death under the terrific shock of the German in

vasion, England provided enough men to hold but

I thirty miles of a five hundred mile front in France. England's excuse was that the army, of mili lions she was raising was too inexperienced to go Ito the front at the time. Yet she sent thousands of her equally inexperienced colonials, the Australians and New Zealanders, to their death at Gallipoli, the other thousands of Canadians to be I slaughtered in Flanders.

Already American newspapers that have been notorious in pro-British propaganda since the beginning of the war, are at it preparing the American people to' consent to sending "a 'gigantic , American army abroad to fight for England. Just as she has spared herself to date largely by letting her allies and colonists bear a disproportionate share of the human slaughter, so England, if she can, would let us provide the remaining disproportionate share of lives to be blown out of existence. England's obvious intent is to be strongest of all the nations at the end of the war. To that end she spends her treasure and the lives of other nations. As the strongest nation at the war's end she can regain her treasure from the larger share of the spoils that will naturally fall to the strongest. The American nation should not fall prey to

England's scheming. If we are actually forced into the war by the overt act of a German submarine commander it will be to uphold President Wilson's conception of the rules that should govern submarine warfare. Americans should never lose sight of that fact even when under the delirium that will attend the excitement of the actual outbreak of war. It will be when the war excitement is at its height that England will seek to entangle us in her destiny. She will propose the same form of alliance to us by means of which she holds Russia, France and Italy. That is that none of the, nations composing the alliance shall accept a separate peace until all are ready. In other words England shall say when peace shall come and on what terms.

Unless Americans are ready to forswear their birthright of freedom and dishonor their history which began in the war of the Revolution against England's scheming and tyranny, they will never consent to any such alliance that would make

them in effect, and later probably in spirit and in name, once more a colony of the British. All Americans, if the need comes, will fight loyally to make President Wilson's conception of submarine fighting prevail and become the. law of nations. Not one loyal American, however, will fight for the destiny of the British empire and for linking thereto the destiny of our own glorious nation, born as ours is from war against tyranny and dedicated to the cause of freedom. Whence this Fear of Melpolder? We have paid unqualified tribute in the past to the shrewdness of John T. Melpolder, "paid agent of public philanthropy" in this city, and have assorted that he always obtains that which he wants. Acquaintance with the history of the Social Service Bureau and his methods substantiate our assertion. A year ago Melpolder decided that he would remain general secretary of the Social Service Bureau even if the members of the board sought his resignation. He won. Last week he determined to continue at his post, even if the community had discredited him and three members of the board were on record as "trying to get rid of him if they knew how." He won. Whence this power? Whence this hidden agency that enables Melpolder to swing the board into line afer it has decided to get rid of him? Whence the cause that prompts members to reverse their decision after they have twice agreed individually that he had outlived his usefulness ? Does the board fear Melpolder? Does the man possess hypnotic power that sets at naught the will of his superiors, disorganizes their mental

processes, making them, as it were, puppets answering strings that lead into his office? The community is beginning to believe thatthe members of the board really fear the man. It is believed that he cows them into submission, bluffs them into acquiescence, intimidates their good judgment, terrorizes them into submission. Slight acquaintance with Melpolder will convince any one that he knows how -to bluff and bulldoze. If the supporters of Melpolder want corroborative evidence, all they need do is to ask applicants for charity to tell their experiences. Melpolder, seemingly, has reversed his status. Instead of being submissive to the board, anxious to please, deadly in earnest to carry out its plans, he has made the board submissive to him, fearfulof incurring his wrath, and subservient to his dictations. Or, to use the "plain language" of the Friends, Melpolder "bosses the board," instead of the "board bossing Melpolder."

Besides his ability to be a "boss" Melpolder

possesses a vindictive temperament that may accentuate the fear members of the board enter

tain for him. Cross Melpolder's path once, and you have an enemy for life. He is implacable and ruthless, vituperative in his denunciation, and bitter in his browbeating. If you doubt it, ask some of the people who have tried to work with him, or who have had the courage to oppose

his methods. Perhaps the members of the board prefer to accept his dictation rather than to lay themselves open to the abuse and the attacks that inevitably would follow their opposition to his methods. The persecution which some who opposed Melpolder have suffered may be the powerful deterrent that is keeping members of the board in line. But why should the board fear him ? The best foil against a vindictive foe is the knowledge that your conscience is clear and that you have done your full duty. If fear of i Melpolder is keeping the members from telling the full truth to the public, some members of the board are not true to themselves or their trust. The unqualified endorsement of Melpolder may have been written because some members fear the man.

PERFECT HEALTH IS YOURS IF THE BLOOD IS KEPT PURE

Almost Every Human Ailment Is Directly Traceable to Impurities in the Blood. You cannot overestimate the importance of keeping the blood free of impurities. When you realize that the heart is constantly pumping this vital fluid to all parts of the body, you can easily see that any impurity in the blood will cause serious complications. Any slight disorder or impurity that creeps into the blood is a source of danger, for every vital organ of ' the body depends upon the blood supply to properly perform its functions. Many painful and dangerous diseases are the direct result of a bad condition of the blood. Among the most serious are Rheumatism, with its

torturing pains; Catarrh, often a forerunner of dread consumption; Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas and other disfiguring skin diseases; Malaria, which makes the strongest men helpless, and many other diseases are the direct reult of impure blood. You can easily avoid all of these diseases, and rid the system of them,

! by the use of S. S. S., the wonderful

blood remedy that has been in constant use for more than fifty years. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly, and routs every vestige of impurity. It is sold by druggists everywhere.

A$k yovnt Goodyear Service Station Dealer aboat the Goodyear Tire-Saver Kit

N All - Weather Tread on a

Goodyear Tire is the best

guard against winter tire troubles man has been able to devise. It is double - thick and densely tough, studded with big, rugged, sharp-edged blocks an effective barrier to most punctures, and a vigilant resistant to skidding. It is as sure-footed in snow as a malamute, and as serviceable as your car itself. Every Goodyear Tire ought to be at work outside a Goodyear Tube. No other tube so safely insures the constant air pressure needed to cushitm strain and shock. No other tube is so protected in the making against leak, seep or creep. Goodyear Tires and Goodyear Tubes both can be had from Goodyear Service Station Dealers. Probably there is one in your neighborhood. He is worth searching out and doing business with. For he is there not only to sell you tires, but to help them deliver you their last mile of service (more than you're used to from your present tires) after he has sold them.
