NOT A SHORT WAR
Late war neyg is not favorable
t* early peace. On the con
trary, it tends to confirm the judg
ment of those who have predicted
from the flrBt thai the great strug
gle would be long and desperately
contested for many months to
come, says the Cleveland Leader.
The French and British armies
show no such strength as they
would need to drive the German
forces out of Francq and into Ger
many and then make important in
roads upon Oerman territory, The
allies must grow relatively much
stronger and the Germans relatively
weaker to make such results
possible.
That change may come, but it
will take a long time. British re
cruits cannot be trained in a few
weeks sufficiently to b« fit for
hoary work against such a foe as
tho German army. France is quite
thoroughly drained of her reserves
—at least as much so 3s Germany.
if the allies were assured that
.Russia could soon invade Germany
with armies of such size and power
as to promise decisive results, all
that the Aaglo-French forces would
need to do would be to hold the
Germans in check and let Russia
strike when the Czar's generals
were ready. But there is no such
prospect.
Evidently the German military
authorities are assured now that
they can hold Russia at the fron
tier, or near it, without U6lng very
large forces for that purpose. Those
who look for the speedy ending of
the war by the czar's promised
march into Berlin greatly overrate
the sizQ and mobility of the Rus
sian army.
.Nothing within the t^uuas ot
probability which can happen to
Austria-Hungary would ever suffice
to force Germany to accept such
terms of peace as the Russian and
British governments are evidently
determined to exact, if the allies
prove victors. There is absolute
ly no way to compel Germany to
listen to such conditions except by
crushing the German armies and
rendering Germany helpless.
It is a vast task which has not
yet been brought within any near
time limit which the most san
guine of the partisans of France,
Great Britain and Russia can fix
aud justify. There is no remote
hint, as yet, of such an end.
Oq the other hand,, it is impos
sible to discern anything in pres
ent conditions or in the outlook
which points to the quick ending
of the war in the triumph of Ger
many and Austria-Hungary. Rus
sia is practically intact. Russian
territory is not seriously menaced
at any point where invasion .would
count greatly. The United King
dom and the British colonies are
steadily gaining strengtH. iu the
military sens®. The British mar
gin of superiority on the sea is
even more overwhelming than it
was when the war began. It will
steadily widen as the warships un
der construction in British and
German shipyards are brought to
completion. France is not vitally
hit. The French army is standing
the strain and wear of war admira
bly. Even Belgium is far from
"done." Servia and Montenegro
are still full of fighting spirit.
Japan is easily master In the limit
ed ield of Japanese operations.
Where is the prospect or prom
ise of peace within many months?
Is it not plain that American busi
ness men and all Americans must
plan and prepare for a long -war
and the consequneces and condi
tions it creates and entails?
But how does the senate tinance
committee know there are no
democrats among automobile
manufacturers and dealers?
It 5s pleasant to learn that the
horrors of war are to be mitigated,
bo far as lies within the power of
the individual towel.
And not eycto the hopeful Fili
pino would be likely to care much
for a neutrality guaranteed hy
nothing but an international agree
ment
So far as the navy department
cares, wo take it, the inventor of
tho nitroglycerine bomb is wel
come to a front seat at tho test.
The situation in Mexico would
not be so monotonous if they were
got to the point of staging a
world's series.
Possibly it will be found that
the American people are as much
averse to taxation without economy
as they were to taxation without
representation.
Perfectly Equipped.
When the larne iind healthy looking
individual who has nskeil at the door
for "a little something to eat" was told
that he might have it if be would work
awhile at the wood pile he shook his
head mournfully.
"I've got the ague." he explained,
"and my hand is that unstiddy 1
couldn't hit rnore'n one stick In seven."
"All right." exclaimed the mistress
of the house. "Go out in the back yard
and shake those ashes for me."—Ex

Mrs. M. E. Cook, State St., Sed
ro Woolley, Wash., says: "I strain
ed my back while lifting and it was
lame and weak for a long time. I
had Bharp shooting pains in my
back, and if I stooped it was hard
for me to straighten. It was also
hard for me to get up from a chair
I was bothered with too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions
at times, then again they didn't
pass often enough. I doctored, but
got no better, and finally I decid
f < *o try Doan's Kidney Pills. After
I had taken a few doses, I found
