“Wars may ■ be-lost behind

troops are being rapidly rushed

it very probable that the next

CUR RESPONSE.
SECRETARY M'AOOOS STATEMENT
At this writing it is yet too
parly to give. the exact figures
of tlie response of this country
to the Red Cross. But the'indi
cations from* various sections
serve to show that we will 1 go
over the Top. This is as it
•should -be. For we have been
abundantly blessed with in
creased wealth. No other ob
ject coubt so justly claim cur
generosity a§" the service of tho
Red Cross. We are not only
money getters, hut money
givers. We Wou’d indeed
write ourselves very small on
the pages of patriotisnHf we jnf
“otlr abundance withheld ' our
means from the necessitiesi of
our allies who are standing be
tween us ami Hun ferocity, and
fnun the jjeaceful inhabitants
who have been driven
their homes by
battle. 1 . We are glnrito >ay• to'

is coming
when.our millions of men rnus;
fill the places made empty by
tlie thinned ranks of Franco and
England. Then their debt to
u- will be equally a*fj|reat. Gtr-
manv cannot go on forever.
The military party now in the
saddle bids fair to r;de the na
tion to its complete exhaustion.
As long however as the German
people are willing to be led as
sheep to the slaughter against
the resources of the whole
world it is notour business to >
give them too much sympathy.
The coming German offensive
may, fall either in France or
Italy, and may by an unfavora
ble combination of events re
sult in allied defeat. But a
long view of the situation was
given by President Wilson last
week when lie said that we are
in the war to oiir last dollar
and hist man to win it. One
tiling is certain, and that is
tlie allied armies will exact a
terrible price in German lives
for every foot of ground that
our armies yield.
