UP TO US TO WIN
About tlip only danger that could thrpaton the success of our arms in
the war upon which this country lias launched would be a minimizing: of
the importance of Mie work hefore us.
Aft^r almost three years of war. after pouring out blood and treasure
until nearly bankrupt in both, the allied nations yet seem almost as far
from victory as r.t the beginning. Their leaders admit the terrible de-
struction wrought by the T-boafs. and frankly rejoice that this country
has elpcted to cant its lot with them, practically admitting that without
aid victory would still be far in the future.
Now that we are committed to the fray it should be our single aim
to carry ir to a successful iss.ue. This will never be done by half hearted
measures. What the allies need is MATERIAL assistancemoney, food
and men. These we must furnish to t'he limit of our resources. We must
pour mT.fy into their coffers must dispatch to their shores every pound
of food not absolutely needed to sustain life here we must send to France
a trenvulous army that, added to tlu?se of the allies, will by its sheer
weight of numbers crush out all opposition.
Let cur part in the war be short, sharp and decisive. We must prove
ourselves AMERICAN'S, and not slackers.
College athletes are debating the question of continuing their sports
during the war. If they haven't brains enough to farm or arm, then the
governors of their respective states should take them by the slack of the
pants and kick them into the front rank of the first batch of conscripts.
We aro ar, ^ro^nt advocate of planting more crops in Beltrami county
this spring but would like to mention that nowhere have we seen any
authority urging rowing wild oats.
The radical kaiser boosters in this country are beginning to disap-
pearsome to Mexico, others to jail.
A fightera producera slacker. Which tag shall your neighbors
hang onto you? 5
It is reported that there is a 100 per cent rise in the cost of skeletons
which ought to be good news for those having samples in their closets.
We know of a doctor who cured a man of failing memory recently and
the patient promptly forgot to pay the bill.
Amidst the press of more exciting matters, don't lose sight of the fly
and the tramp. Swat him and kick him.
If this talk of economy is kept up it won't be long before a fat man
is looked upon with suspicion.

It bore many figures.

BABBY AVOTHEB JOFFBE
A single glimpse of General Joffre Is sufficient to set off the fireworks
in the American heart end the American throat. Men, women and chil-
dren have gone wild with enthusiasm oyer the great marshal, of France.
"And there's a reason." Joffre is amen of deeds, a field soldier and not
a newspaper or parlor hero. He says little and does much. In France he
won the greatest battle of history. To the American congress he made
a epeech of four words and sat down.
Major General Thomas H. Barry, commander of the Central Depart-
ment of the United States army, is another Joffre. He is a hard and swift
hitting soldier and not a parlor diplomat. He is a performer of, deeds and
not a seeker of notoriety.
Joffre is quiet and reserved so is Barry. Joffre scorns fuss and
feathers so does Barry. Joffre hits hard and first so does Barry. Joffre
is first and last a fighter, and so is Barry.
We are told that an American army will soon be in France. But
who will be its leader? Will it be some officer whose principal claim to
fame depends upon the good will of the press, or will it be an officer whose
clear judgment and strong fighting characteristics render him the logical
choice?
Many thousands of fathers and mothers whose sons will fight on for-
eign soil would feel easier in their minds if the government sent General
Barry as the commander of the American forces. He is an officer who can
inflict the greatest damage upon an enemy with the least injury to our own
men. Instead of vassillating from indecision he would be inflicting his
personality upon the Germans in such a manner that history would never
forget.
He would be the Joffre of America.

GRAND TONIGHT
"Little Meena's Romance" is one
of those finished productions that de
light the critic even more than the
producer can believe ,and it will de
light an audience in exactly the
same way. The story is fascinating
frpm the outset, though the happy
beginning is due almost entirely to
characterization, characterization in
which Owen Moore shines as never
before, the biggest surprise in a pro
duction of many surprises. Without
a blemish in construction, with deli
cate preparation at every step and
adequate realization in setting, act
ing and subtitles, "Little Meena's
moves softly and sweetly
into our hearts, keeping us busy as
well as perpetually entertained.
