EDITORIAL PAGE
V I.OXG WAR
The great war has begun its
tenth month and there is ab
solutely uo sign that it is Bearing
its final stages. Neither side is ex
hausted. Neither is talking of
,;eace. Neither has lost confidence.
Nowhere is there any slackening of
preparations for a very long strug
gle growing more destructive and
more terrible as it progresses.
Americans who have business in
terests which are affected by the
war have ample reason to govern
their course, in all their affairs, by
the general belief of European
statesmen and military authorities
that the conflict is far from its
last months. It is true that changes
of the greatest importance some
times come quickly but the balance
of probabilities is overwhelmingly '
In favor of those who believe the I
war will go on a long while.
Already the course of events na»
mocked the confidence of many
who thought that the struggle was
too tremendous to last long. It has
been entirely in accord with the
views of those who argued from the
beginning that peace could not bo
expected for a year at least, with
two years of war more probable
than cue and three ye:'7s quite
possible.

\ MODEST WAY?
l>o you want to do good 111 a
modest way? To be sure if you are
roing to do good at all, it should
be modestly; but there happens
along one of those exceptional and
appealing chances to do good, where
it will be appreciated and the ex
pense will be nil.
General William Ha-rding Carter,
commanding the Hawaiian depart
ment of the United States army, se
cured a library for the 6000 soldiers
in Honolulu, whose only recreation
available was the saloon and the
cheap dance hall. More than 10,000
volumes were collected through Eaa
ern newspapers.
Xow Geueral II. P. Scott, chief
of staff, is bo pleased with the
plan that he suggests its repetition
for the benefit of the troops in the
Pnilippines. All there is to the
movement is publicity and a little
organization. Argument is unneces
sary to carry conviction as to the
worthiness of it. The very state
ment of the case makes that part
of it self evident. The appeal
itself is not merely to generosity, it
is to patriotism as well, and the
end in view is the moral, social and
intellectual benefit of those young
men who are serving Vncli- Sam in
11 .n-oil
There are few people who are
owners of books but can spare a
few volumes from 'heir private li
braries. There are comparatively
few libraries In which there are not
duplications of some works, either
in whole or in part; a'.so vol
umes or sets that could be spared
just as well as not. Here's the
< hance for a fine and serviceable act,
without expense to the individual
contributors, which is bound to
bring great pleasure and benefit to
those for whom the appeal is made.
There is nothing to prevent the be
ginning and the success of the move
nient here. There is nothing in
volved about the inauguration and
the conduct of it. It is a fine com
bination of generosity and pa
triotism.—Portland Telegram.
