FACING GRIM FACTS.
So the German Grown Prince ad
mlts that our American soldiers are
first class fighting men, but then ho
spoils the compliment with the charge
that they don’t know what they are
fighting for. Well, perhaps they will
learn in time, and it ought not fake
very long, because of their being in
close contact with the enemy and in
close communion with the unhappy
peoples of Belgium and France. It
is to he assumed that the average
American soldier is fairly intelligent,
and that, when not solely occupied
with the order of the day, Is employ
ing his facilities of observation to
good advantage. The French and Bel
gians and British undoubtedly know
what they are lighting for. and our
men will probably be able to figure
out a good reason before long.
Meanwhile the grand march to Iho
Hhine is under way and seems to
have gained considerable momentum
during the past few weeks. Thanks
to the magnificent maneuvering of
his splendid armies, Marshal Foch fin
ally has the Hun on the run. How
fast and how far he will he able to
drive hitn this summer is purely a
matter of speculation. There are cer
tain optimistic persons who expect to
see the war end by the close of the
year It doesn’t seem possible. Then
the sentiment is spreading that the
struggle will come to a decision some
time next summer. That is possible,
but to arc mplinh it we Americans!
arc uii against the most trying year
of our experience. As a whole people
wo have yet o pay the price that will
entitle us b a respectable share in
thr row rd cat will come with vic
tory War < its compensations, no
less th: pe co, but they must be
earned
So we nigh as well prepare for the
worst. t i t we shall not ultimate
ly win Herb the thought Hut the
time is at h id when America, like
her gall ill ies. must lay her pre
cious sa rifi i on the altar. Who
can . a}i ’ iti lie billions that must
he raised am ,he blood that must he
spilled curing the next twelvemonth?
\ed w’ o kt iws the privations and
hearts: tics 'hat must visit hundreds
of thousands of American homes be
fore the enemy will finally strike his
colors? This thought is in no sense
colored with pessimism—it simply
confronts us with the unvarnished
truth of the situation ahead In the
Senate the other day Senator Reed of
Missouri drew a striking picture of
America’s task Hart of It Is well
worth repeating. We quote the fol
lowing:
"Tin task we are upon will require
more than the boys of 18 or 19. I said
the other day, and I repeat now, that
the women of this country will be
obliged to do what they are doing in
France, to enter the factories and
many of them must enter the fields;
that children barely beyond the ten
der years will lie compelled to take
up the dreary tasks of labor; and
that old men who have long since laid
aside the implements of toil will he
compelled to resume their tasks. Our
people will be forced to undergo hard
ship and privation in order that this
mighty giant we call America, by
straining every nerve and muscle,
may at last achieve a world victory.
That victory will come, but it will be
at the expense of every energy, every
power we and our allies cap muster
"We may as well face the grim
facts * * * Only cowards bury
their heads In the sand and seek to
j escape Ihe actualities of life. Tell
the American people, as brave as the
bravest of this earth, that they may
us well beRln to prepare for a struRRle
that will be Ioiir, that will be bloody,
and that will be bitter. Tell them
so that they may nerve themselves
for the ordeal. Tell them so that
they may re-baptlze their souls in the
fountains from which the fathers of
the Republic drew their inspiration
In the dark days of the Revolution.
Tell them the truth That truth s
that we must take the lx>ys, we must
take the men, we must call on the
women.”
