Our Quota $945,020 for Stamps

Wavne countv must buy $945,020 worth of

war savings and thrift stamps as its share of the

$2,000,000,000 that is to be raised for the federal

treasurv throucrh this medium.

Divided among the men, women and children of the county, it entails the purchase of $20 worth

of stamns by every individual.

A far reaching campaign to make effective

the buvmir of $845,020 worth of stamps in this

community has not been initiated. The purchase of these stamps must not mean the removal of

money from the banks and savings institutions

but must be a thrift effort.

The small change in our pockets easily can be

converted into thrift stamps and these in turn can be exchanged for war savings stamps. No

one will be inconvenienced by indulging in this form of small investments. A Cure for Cussing The Y. M. C. A. is reducing profanity in the army cantonments. Some of the methods used by the secretaries may be applied with success to business organization where profanity jars the atmosphere. "Kindly Kwit Kussing," is one of the slogans which the Y. M. C. A.'s have adopted to curtail cussing among the soldiers. In some camps, a recent bulletin of the Y. M.'C. A. says, a distinct falling off has been noticed and the moral tone has improved. "If you curse in your own home, curse here. We want you to feel at home," says another slogan that points out the utter foolishness of profanity. Profanity is a dirty habit. It can be overcome by will power and a desire to reform. It is unnecessary as a form of emphasis and exceedingly annoying to those who do not indulge in it. Conquest and Kultur "The most dangerous foe of Germany in this generation will prove to be the United States." "Operations against the United States of North America must be entirely different. With that country, in particular, political friction, manifest in commercial aims, has not been lacking in recent year, and has until now been removed chiefly through acquiescence on our part. However, as this submission has its limit, the question arises as to what means we can develop to carry out our purpose with force in order to com

bat the encroachments of the United States upon

our interests. Our main factor is our fleet.

It is evident, then, that a naval war against the

United States can not be carried on with success

without at the same time inaugurating action on land. It is almost a certainty, however, that a victorious assault on the Atlantic coast,

tying up the importing and exporting business of

the whole country, would bring about such an

annoying situation that the Government would

be willing to treat for peace. "If the German invading force were equipped and ready for transporting the moment the battle fleet is despatched, under average conditions, these corps can begin operations on American soil within at least fourweeks. The United States at this time (1901) is not in a position to oppose our troops with an army of

equal rank. "The fact that one or two of her provinces are occupied by the invaders would not alone move the Americans to sue for peace. To accomplish this end the invaders would have to inflict real material damage by injuring the whole country through the successful seizure of many of the Atlantic seaports in which the threads of the entire Nation meet. It should be so managed that a line of land operations would be in close juncture with the fleet, through which we would be in a position to seize in a short time many of

the important and rich cities, to interrupt their

means of supply, disorganize all governmental affairs, assume control of all useful buildings, confiscate all war and transport supplies, and lastly, to impose heavy indemnities. "As a matter of fact, Germany is the only

! great power which is in a position to conquer the ! United States." Freiherr von Edelsheim, Opera

tions upon the Sea, trans. 1914, pp. 86-92.

DON

T SUFFER

A Democracy at War From "Democracy in America," by Alexis de Tocqueville. I AM therefore of the opinion that, when a democratic people engages in a war after a long period, it incurs much more risk of defeat than any other nation; but it ough not easily to be cast down by its reverses, for the chances of success for such an amy are increased by the duration of the war. When a war has at length, by its long continuance, roused the whole community from their peaceful occupations and ruined their minor undertakings, the same passions which made them attach so much importance to the maintenance of peace will be turned to arms. War, after it has destroyed all modes of speculation, becomes itself the great and sole speculation, to which all the ardent and ambitious desires which equality engenders'are exclusively directed. Hence it is that the self-same democratic nations which are so reluctant to engage in hostilities sometimes perform prodigious achievements when once they have taken the field. Thus, while the interests and tastes of the members of a democratic community divert them from war, their habits of mind fit them for carrying on a, war well; they soon make good soldiers, when they are aroused from their business and their enjoyments. If peace is peculiarly hurtful to democratic armies, war secures them advantages which no other armies ever possess, and these advantages, however little felt at first, cannot fail in ,the end to give them the victory. An aristocratic nation, which in a contest with a democratic people does not succeed in ruining the latter at the outset of the war, always runs a great risk of being conquered by it.

WITH

NEURALGIA

Use Soothing Musterole When those sharp pains go shooting through your head, when your skull seems as if it would split, just rub a little Musterole on your temples and neck. It draws out the inflammation, soothes away the pain, usually giving quick relief. Musterole is a clean, white ointment, made with oil of mustard. Better than a mustard plaster and does not blister. Many doctors and nurses frankly recommend Musterole for sore throat, bronchitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or oints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet colds of the chest (it often prevents pneumonia). It is always dependable. 30c and 60c jars; hospital size $2J5Q.

By CAPT. A. W. OWEN, 49th Infantry Battalion, Edmonton Regiment. (Capt. Owen has done some pretty stiff fighting in the Tpres salient, the battle of the Somme, Vilmy Ridge in the Battle of the Arras. While Vilmy Ridge was perhaps the most spectacular the Canadians have ever been in, in that it was carried out on schedule time and was an unqualifieed success, there was one experience during the Somme fighting which stands out in the mind of every soldier who took part. That was the attempt to take Regina Trench on October 8th, 1916. The battle of Courcellette was begun September 15. and although a bloody and costly affair, it was a success in that all and more objectives were taken than were ordered to be taken.) We had been Ighting almost continuously from that date to October 4th when we received word to withdraw

in order to be re-inforced. The reinforcements consisted of only 50 men and immediately we were informed that we had to go "in again" and take Regina Trench, a position considered impregnable, which had resisted capture a number of times. Our whole Division went into this attack on the evening of Oct. 7th, every man knowing he was against the toughest proposition of his life. The wire was uncut and we had to go over the top for five hundred yards before reaching the German trench. I had spent the night previous with a scout sergeant, crawling around "no Mah's Land" ona reconnaisance patrol, for the purpose of examining the wire and looking for gaps, that our men might get through. I considered it absolutely hopeless, and reported it so. However, orders had been given and we "went over" at 4:50 a. m. (Continued tomorrow.)
