Germany Is no more beaten today than the was when the war broke out There is not the slightest doubt that all the belligerents are suffering prr portionately; but we are en the big ger side. The colossal debt that Brit ain is acquiring four millions a day will require a lot of labor to reduce, and the workers will have to pay it through the nose. Since the death of Kitchener, Brit ain has been unable to find a man with the proper grisp of affaire, either on the Held of battle or direct ing the home and foreign policies. What a pitiful spectacle confronts us of . thp smashing ur of Rumania a nation that was enticed into the field by a group of incompetent muddlers both Britiwh and foreign. So with our military chiefs. What a frightful ' mess was made at the Dardanelles how the un-narallflf-d con raze of Australians was thrown to the wind through the gross muddling of those who engineered this colossal blunder the perpetrators of which ought to be hanged. . The same In Mesopotamia. It is significant that the imiuiry now being held as to who was responsible for these, mistakes hopes to fix the blame. It Is more significant that those who directed Operations are all alive to tell the tale. This speaks for Itself. They dare not trust their own carcasses, where they reckoned on certain death. The unfortunate plight of Rumania is an other example. The courage and valor of millions of men is wasted when improperly applied. v ' We are not winning the war not by a long way. Germany has her tongue in her cheek, and all the faked news we hear is so much stuff and non sense When Australia provides men of unconquerable spirit, she expects leaders of equal judgment, and the sooner the automatons that pull the strings of war are seized with this fact- the sooner will the aspect change. We cannot keep up our re inforcementc as we are doing for very much longer, and God help us if Brit ain cannot provide the necessary brains to successfully direct affairs.

HAWAIIAN LEI LIES WITH ASHES OF JACK LONDON A little dried lllma lei, reminder of the islef the noted author loved so well, was among the flowers entwined about the urn containing the ashes of the late Jack London.

Hushea, candidate for the i.re&idency. Lyons refers to Johnson as the "Benedict Arnold of his party." ."Back Hast, in the highest circles of the Republican party, we feel that there was something rotten in the Cal ifornia election in short, that Hushes was double-crossed there." says Lyons. "I . do not mean by that necessarily that Johnson deliberately went to work to knife the candidate of the party, but that he saw a chance to help himself and make himself the bluest man in the West, and did so without my thought cf what the result would be. "He irobally accomplished his ob ject so far as California and the other Western states are concerned, but as a national figure I believe that he is dead. I am confident that he is re garded throughout the East as the Benedict Arnold of the Republican party in the last campaign; that he un doubtedly killed .the chances that Hughes h3d for election, at least in California." MODELS HIS PART AFTER PRISONER Before William H. West attenn.roi tc. portray a leadin? role as a hiah- vaymaa, a champion of honor, and a u-!f-appo'nted officer of the law, he spent some time in making a cloise study of one of the most noted t f Australian bandits, then behind the bars at a Melbourne prison. The pris oner Is said to have -been highly flat tered by -the visits of the screen actor. Practically all the tricks of the trade were enacted for the benefit of West, who ea?h week figures with promin ence in the entertaining and sensa tional serial feature, "The Stingaree." Today West, Paul Hurst and a well balanced company appear at the Em pire theater in the fourth episode, "The Villain Worshiper."
