The Herald has not had anything to say about subscriptions for a long time, and we dislike very much to take up space now for this purpose! when we have so much other matter i . \ i pressing us for space. But the business department must live. We have sent out cards to all who are in arrears and we must insist upon prompt settlement. The people are not so poor that they cannot pay out a dol * * ? \ n vifo>- o ohnnt lar axia a- xxaxi. .in* ?>?,* ^ cuv; uuum as poor as any the rest of the people. We are printing what our friends say is the best weekly newspaper in this part of the State, and we certainly want to maintain the standard. Our subscribers can help us do this by keeping their subscriptions paid in advance. If any of our readers don't want the paper, we hope they will be frank enough to tell us so. We certainly are not able to send it to people who do not intend to pay for it. We notice that the council of defense intends to inaugurate a campaign of enlightenment in regard to the war. We do not know along what line the council intends to direct its campaign, but we trust it will be to inform the people more thoroughly of the causes and the purposes of the war. The apathy toward and the resentment of many against | the war is the result either of lack of information or misinformation, mainly from the latter cause, we believe. A large number of people are : under the impression that America entered the war to fight England's battle. The impression also prevails that England has done practically ' nothing in this war, putting the burden on the other allies. Many people also believe that America has absolutely no cause for war. To dissipate these false impressions, the council will do well to tell the people just what America's aims are. The government has already prepared statements along this line, but all that we have seen are column after column in length?too long to be assimilated by common people?and couched in rather technical terms. "jV"" 1 XT ? ??- TT ? ?? 1 J \Trtttro 1 fl? i\ewuerry ntJiaiu anu which is one of the four or five newspapers in the State that supports Ex-Gov. Blease, in commenting on Blease's speech at Pomaria some days ago says that while it does not consider Blease uttered treasonable language, he did employ words it does not approve of. The Herald and News says: This is a time above all others for our^ people to get together, and to work for the good of the country. It is no time to be calling one ugly names. Mr. Blease in his Pomaria speech used some adjectives that we would not have used in speaking of some men in high office. We would not use them about anyone. We no not believe in that kind of argument or oratory. It will be noted that the Herald and News says this is the time above all others for the people to get together. Does the Herald and News consider that the leader of the faction of which it is a part is doing his part in gettmg the people together? What Blease says about the partisanship of the present administration is political bunk spoken for political reasons; but, for the sake of argument, grant that ail he says about the administration is true, what is Blease doing toward helping the situation? He is making speeches in' the interest of arousing resentment against the war with Germany. Is that getting the people together? We do not believe that the personnel of the so-called Bleasite faction is lacking in patriotism any more than any other faction. In fact, we believe that the percentage of enlistments in the army and ilavy by Bleasites is just about the same at the percentage of the anti-Blease faction in this State. In view of this fact, we hardly think the Bleasites can find much room for enthusiasm in a statement made by their recognized leader at the Filbert picnic, in York county, a few days ago. This statement is accredited to him, and we believe the meeting was reported by an adherent of his: "***They . talk about a free America. I don't care what kind of an America it is after I am dead and gone, neither does your boy whom they are sending to war." Mr. Bleasite, what do you think of that for a patriotic speech? How does that sound from a would-be statesman? The ex-governor confessedly does not care what kind of a country we have after he is gone. Washington's men fought, starved and died that America might be saved for those who came after. They gave their lives willingly that the country might be saved from tyranny. They had no thought of themselves. With what feelings such a statement can be received by the fathers, followers of Blease, of boys who have volunteered already to give their lives that the world might be safe from Prussianism, we cannot say: but it is safe to say that they entertain no such sentiments. There are hundreds of sons of Bleasites now in the service and there will be hundreds more of them in the draft, and there will be no better soldiers in France. They will willingly give their lives that "the kind of America after I am dead and gone" will be the kind for which our forbears laid down their lives. ? ? SEND TKOOPS EAST AS POSSIBLE. Transports to be Pressed into Service to ('any Soldiers to France. A Washington dispatch says: American soldiers are going to France just as fast as transports can be pressed into service to take them. Tnct bow fnct this will be is some what problematical.' It' there were enough transports available now, and the situation in respect of cargo ships were satisfactory, it is probable that the great bulk of the regular army and the federalized militia would be in France within the next few months. Cargo ships are just as important as transports, as the amount of supplies Aat nuist be taken to France for an army of any considerable size is tremendous. Of course, it would be more than folly to send troops to Europe any faster than they can be supplied with food, munitions, transports of every character and the thousand and one things that go to make up the complete equipment of a modern army. The war department, from the secretary down, is working with almost superhuman energy to overcome what at times seems insurmountable obstacles to land an effective fighting force in France at the earliest possible moment. Up to a few weeks agosit was not thought good strategy to send more American troops to France this year than was necessary to evidence our good faith to our allies and for moral effect on Germany. The allies had about given up all hope of landing the knock-out blow on Germany this year. Russia's ability to renew an offensive on the eastern front was doubted, and it was thought America could best contribute to the final overthrow of the kaiser by diverting all possible shipping to the feeding of her allies and supplying them with necessary war material, while training her armies here. Suddenly Russia, contrary to expectations, gathered herself together and began to strike. Then came well authenticated rumors of great dissatisfaction and unrest among the people of Germany. The possibility of defeating .Germany this year again claimed the attention of the allied strategists, and it was decided to press the enemy on every front and try to force a decision. It is not too much to say that the allies hope the German people are sufficiently disheartened so that six months pounding on all fronts will convince them they are doomed to certain defeat, and cause them to turn against their rulers. Under tiiese suaaeniy cnangeu conditions, it was decided that America could best contribute to the end sought by adding to the allies' strength on the western froht as large as possible, delivered as soon as possible. The reason for this is only partly military. The bigger reason is to prove to the German people that their rulers lied to them when they told them America would fight only with her dollars, and could not send more than a handful of soldiers to Europe in less than two years. When the news filters into Germany that shipload after shipload of American troops are landing in France a year and a half before the kaiser and von Hindenberg said they could, it is going to be pretty hard to restore the morale of the German people?at least this is the reasoning of the allied strategists and statesmen, and it seems both rational and logical. While it is impossible to get any figures from the war department, it is probable there will be 200,000 American soldiers in France before " * * ~ 4- K ttl? snow nies. 11 IS pussiuie lucic will be twice that number. The Pershing expedition is merely the advance guard. It has not yet been determined in what order the militia divisions will be sent. The difficulty of transport service will be somewhat relieved by the return to service of the German interned ships, aggregating 600.000 gross tons. These will be available for the war department from now on. Some of these ships are freight carriers, while the Hamburg-American uiners are peculiarly adapted to fast transport work. Candor l\Irs.
