CHINESE WILL IIKLP WIN WAR.
Laborers Are Heilig Furnished to the
Alllrs by tho Thousands.
(Correspondence Associated Press.)
China's llrsl and most important
contribution to the cause of Ibo en
tente allies in the war doubtless will
ht? labor?is.
Ilefore China joined in tho war
against (lormany and Austria, she
had already supplied more than 100,
000 laborers to France, IOU gin nd and
Russia. Coolies for agricultural work
and dock work have been going to
Western Kuropo for nearly two
years, Russia lias also been draw
ing from China's Inexhaustible sup
ply of labor for Siberian mines and
Siberian farms.
Now that China is actually in (he
war. the task ol' recruiting laborers
for work beyond tho seas will be far
easier. Tho government will loud a
willing hand and competition which
hitherto has existed between the va
rious powers in recruiting coolies
probably will ho eliminated,
Of the i un,nun,omi persons in
China, ii is estimated that at least
10,000,000 are men capable ol' carry
ing arms or doing sonn? sort of la
bor directly connected willi the war.
Of this number 20,000,000 are living?
within reasonable distance of trans
portation facilities, and could boj
nioblll/.ed were il necessary. China
luis such au abundance ol' men that '
millions could be spared to tho ad
vantage of those remaining at home.
Premier Tuan-Chi-Jul is enthusias
tic about sending an army lo Bu rope,
Ile believes 1.000.000 soldiers could
he trained and sent to Kuropo within
six months, wen? the allies to sup
ply equipment and officers for gene
ral supervision.
Figures concerning tho actual
number of men under aims in China
are imperfect and misleading. .Each
of the provinces has its own army.
In addition the central government
has many troops. There arc probably
ROO,OOO men in all under arms in
China at thc present time. Perhaps
half of these, or 250,000, would mea
sure up to the standards of a modern
army and he an effective lighting
force, If properly equipped and
trained for a few months under for
eign supervision.
Chinese officials, high and low,
would welcome an opportunity to
solid a large ajmiy abroad. Rut China
hicks transports for sending troops
abroad, and her small arsenals and
poorly organized leather and cloth
industries make? it impossible for lici
to ontflt even a small army.
Chilla hus tho wool, the cotton and
t ho hides necessady to clothe a great
army, but she lacks facilities to con
vert these Into shoes and clot liing.
Raw material and labor exist in
Cliina in abundance, but (here is no
effective industrial organization.
Should it become necessary China's
unlimited labor could furnish much
of the clothing for tho allied armies,
wore modern factories erected in
China under loreign supervision.

(Tho Stute.)
In an editorial article headlined
"In I ts Last Year," the Evening 1'osl
of Charleston argues that "it is prob
ably well within the mark to say that
Germany cannot .stand another year
of war" and that "it might be said
that none of the powers which have
boon three years engaged in tho
dreadful struggle can." From this it
proceeds to the conclusion that tho
recent "verbal" declarations by Ger
many about Belgium will bo follow
ed hy others more definite and more
acceptable to the entente allies. "The
(Jutted States can, however," in The
J'osl's opinion, "go for three years
from the date of its entrance, even at
the tremendous pace it has set in
five months it luis been In." "Tho
nations locked in the battle," it con
tinues, "are breathing hard, all of
them and they must and are deter?
mined to have peace. . . . The first
halt in the war will connote its con
clusion. . . . This war has reached
the point at which lt must be kept at
full speed to keep it going at all.
Once tho normal processes of mind
were renewed, as they would be in a
large measure by the consideration
of peace, it would be next to Impos
sible to resume thc war. And that is
likely to come about beforo thc cam
paigns of I'.IIS are fairly under way.
Tho war is In Us last year."
This is Hie most sanguine predic
tion from any newspaper that has
com?; under our eye and we confess
to 110 ordinary attachment of weight
to Hie expressions of our Charleston
contemporary in respect ol' the world
conflict.
If one grant Its premises, is not a 1
question raised as to the course of
thc United States at the moment j
when the other combatants shall he ;
ready to quit? If they shall be at the
point of exhaustion when this great
nation ol' ours shall he only at the
first Hush ol' realization of fighting
strength next year, should it, also,
consent to a poaco of exhaustion? If
for the Hist time in 1918 .1 shall be
armed cap-a-pie, If thou its loins
s hui I he girded, should it not strike
the blows required to make good the
pledges of its government for world
freedom? Hardly could il ho con
tended that tho l'niled Slates should
agree to a settlement ol' the issues at j
stake short of its claims for no bet
tor reason I lian that its allies were
j wearied and. however profound their
j weariness be, it should be able to Im
I part to thom for even another year
I something of the renewal of spirit,
that they have received from its en
trance last April.
I fi the notion that the war may bo
brought to a close in the manner sug
gested by our contemporary lurks an
clement of peril for the future. lt
were better that tho American mind
refrain from dwelling on the Iden of
IK'ueo, however entrancing lt h", at
this time.. Being in the quarrel, our
country should bear in mind that the
opposer will beware in future and,
with that in mind, the less we con
cern ourselves about the state of
mind of tho enemy the moro swiftly
shall we approach the peace for the
world that will endure.

SAXON SIX
A BIG TOURING CAR.FOR FIVE PEOPLE
Try This Test Yourself
It Proves the Wonderful Value of Saxon "Six"
Take the important features of
Saxon "Six" one by one.
Bear in mind the price of Sax
on "Six"-$935 f, o. b. De
troit.
Then look among the costly
cars and sec whether cars of
far higher price have these
same features.
If they do, that is absolute proof
of the high quality of Saxon
"Six" and thc remarkable value
it is?
Here's how the test works out :
Saxon "Six" at $935 has a
Continental six-cylinder motor.
So have 12 other cars ranging
in price from $ 1 JJ 5 to $2200.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has Tim
ken axles. So have J 9 other
cars ranging in price from
$1115 to $4000.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has Tim
ken bearings. So have J J
other cars ranging in price
from $1250 to $5000.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has the
Stromberg carburetor. So have
9 other cars ranging in price
from $JJ J5 to $4000.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has the
Remy ignition. So have 9
other cars ranging in price
from $1175 to $4000.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has the
Fcdders radiator. So have J?
other cars ranging in price from
$1175 to $6300.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has the
Spiral bevel gear. So ha ve 18
other cars ranging price from
$1115 to $10,000.
Saxon "Six" at $935 has the
semi-floating axle. So haye 11
other cars ranging in price from,
$1200 to $4800,
Saxon "Six" at $935 has thc
Exide storage battery. So have
9 other cars ranging in price
from $1145 to $4800.
There's the evidence. It's the
straightest, clearest proof ever
offered as to the value and
quality of any car.
It sets Saxon "Six" above the
claims of-all other cars, within
$200 or $300 of its price.
We quoted you $935 f. o. b.
Detroit as the price of Saxon
"Six." That is true. But with
manufacturing costs going up
and up it?may not remain long
at that price. So place your
order now.

O God of infinite mercy, hear the
mothers of this land as we plead
before Thy throne for the loved ones
we are sending forth to battle for
tile Right. Though our hearts are
bowed with sorrow, we pray not for
ourselves; all our prayers, () God of
Love, are for them, the priceless
treasures of our lives. We are will
ing to suffer, and, if need he, to die,
for our Country!
We would gladly give our livos to
lia ve these loved ones, dearer to us
than life itself, wiio are going out to
light foes, seen and unseen, to face
all the horrors of thc battlefield, and
some perchance to die, that others
may live, but by no word or look will
we hold them back when duty calls
them to save others.
Give them the manhood to moot
this supreme test of life; give thom
strength of body, of mind and soul
to do battle for tho Right, and to
succor thc women and children. Arm
thom with Divine power to smite
evil; fold thom in Thy loving arms;
yea, though I hey walk through the
Valley of the Shadow or Death may
Thy Presence banish every fear and
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort them.
For three long years the men of
our allies have battled for us as for
their own homes, and their loved
ones have endured thc sorrows which
now we must face. Our men go forth
to help save us from rain and the
world from barbarism. We suffer,
bul we glory In their manhood. We
dedicate our lives to this Great Cause
that we may serve behind thc lines
while they carry forward thc flag of
civilization.
Tho prayers of a world In agony,
for whom those loved ones are fight
ing, are lifted up to Thee for those
mon. They aro offering all that
earth holds dear, because they have
heard Thy voice calling them to tho
noblest work to which lives woro
over consecrated. Thy love, O God,
our Father, excels all human lovo, so
i wo leave them with Thee. To Thee
have we committed them. They are j
Thine, created in Thy image.
Into then? Thou hast breathed the
breath of life in its largest and divin- !
est sense.
In their sacrifice, offering their 1
lives that others may live, they are '
following in tho footsteps of the Son
of dod Himself, who died to make
mon free from the power of evil. We
trust Hiern, O God, to Thy Infinite
love, and to Thy ever watchful eye.
Hold i ho mas In the hollow of Thy
Hand, for they are doing Thy Work
and fulfilling the teachings of Him
who spake as,never man spake, when
He taught that greater love hath no
man than that he is willing to lay
down his lifo for others.

Dr, W. A. Could, of Des Moines,
the chief- advocate of the plan of

Since thc days when savage tribes

exposure, the world has swung to the
opposite extreme in the effort to pro

No case ls any longer too desper
