ESTABLISH Kl) APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, August 9,1917. :
a.
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

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.

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.

Love's Limit.
I'd swear for her, I'd tear for her, N !
The dear knows what I'd bear for her;
I'd lie for her, I'd sigh for her,
I'd drink the river dry for her;
I'd "cuss" for her, do "wuss" for her,
Kick up a thundering fuss for her;
I'd weep for her, I'd leap for her,
I'd go without my sleep for her,
I'd fight for her, I'd bite for her,
I'd walk the streets all night for her,
I'd plead for her, I'd bleed for her,
I'd go without my feed for her;
I'd shoot for her, I'd boot for her,
j A rival who made "suit" for her;
I I'd kneel for her, I'd steal for her,
| Such is the love I feel for her;
j I'd slide for her, I'd glide for her,
| I'd swim against the tide for her;
I I'd try for her, I'd cry for her,
j But?hang me, if I'd die for her!
