U S. TROOPS WILL CELE-
BRATE WITH FRENCH
It is curious but significant
that so much energy has been de-
voted to hair-splitting, deadening,
trimming discussion of a formu-
la which merely embodies the
passionate wish of Russian Lib-
erals to know that their Allies
are not fighting a war of con-
quest and despoliation. This wish
does not deserve evasion or so-
phistication. Nor does it deserve
the veiled menace of Japan. There
is no obstacle to an honest re-
ply. The formula of no annexa-
tion and no indemnities does de-
clare the principle on which lib-
eral Western Europe and liberal
America are fighting the war.
That clean high motive is increas-
ingly dominant. That it is quali-
fied." by certain elements in each
country, it would be folly to deny.
Fan not America talk to Russia
in a way that is less diplomatic
and more human.
Fan we not say in effect?—
You Russians have just entered
the family of nations in which
the principle of freedom has
struggled to* emerge. Until recent-
ly, you, next to the Prussian au-
tocracy, constituted the greatest
menace to the future of that
principle. You have achieved the
most notable transformation of all
history. That you have arrived
by one great step ut a complete
solution of your problem we
frankly do not believe. That tre-
mendous and as yet unmeasured
forces will emerge and help to
shape your destiny is the convic-
tion of those of us who know
your country. You will have to
account with much stupid conser-
vatism, even reaction. Non are
trying to consolidate your liber
al elements while in the midst of
a great and desperate war. The
basis of unification is renuncia-
tion of imperialistic aggression.
Your success is assued if your
allies can give you support by a
like declaration of policy. Ger-
many is confidently expecting
.\our disintegration and that she
can victimize you at her leisure.

THAT PEOPLE WHISPER TO YOU, YOU REMEM-
BER TO YOUR DYING DAY
Suppose, instead of writing this form of an advertise-
ment that—
THE YOUNGBLOOD FURNITURE & UNDERTAKING
COMPANY
—would be delighted to have you call and see it, we should
head this advertisement with big price figures And perhaps
a knife cutting through them—you know the kind.
Which do you think would make the lasting impres-
sion—-would it be the price, or are you really looking for
quality and service?
Now let us whisper something to you: The Young-
blood Furniture & Undertaking Company would rather have
you in their store just thirty minutes to look at the goods
and read the price tags—TIIE QUALITY OF OPR FI R-
NITURE AT THE QUANTITY PRICES WHICH THEY
ARE MARKED will make an impression far better than
all the big headlines about price we could write.
“THE QUALITY OF OUR FURNITURE IS REMEM-
BERED LONG AFTER THE PRICE IS FORGOTTEN"

Mr. and Mrs. “Luckless” Col-

pany, which is an awful blow to
a young married couple at the
present high prices.

by is considered one.

woman marries the sweetheart of
her girlhood, she suddenly be-

Expert Service!
Expert service is the cheapest service you can buy. You get ex-
pert service in our Jewelry Department. You get expert service
in our Prescription Department. In fact, that’s the kind of serv-
ice we render throughout our entire business.
ITS THE ONLY KIND TO BUY
CRAVEN
Your revolution is as valuable
the allied cause as your partici-
pation in the war. Your repu-
diation of aggression will have
more effect on the course of the
war than a summer offensive. The
American people are with you in
your intention. Only diplomats
"can construe that intention as a
legalistic formula by which you
are trying to force the hands of
your allies. In some way we can
^ee tlie ultimate results ol the war
better than you can. France is
not bidding farewell to her school-
boys and passing them oil to the
mill ot destruction because she is
dreaming of empire. England is
not in a deadly clutch with the
maddog from under the sea, and
sounding the call to assemble the
remaining manhood, of all her do-
mains because she wants terri-
tory. This is a war of defense,,
n war to protect all that makes
the world a decent place to live
in. Because we believe this pro-
foundly, because we passionately
desire that democracy, a young
thing and far from realization,
shall be given an opportunity in
the future, because we see the
grave danger that the liberty of
man and the liberty of men may
perish under the heel of an effi-
cient barbarian in the jaws of a
wolf that has learned to hunt
in packs—because of all this we
are plunging ourselves into the
war up to the hilt, we are grim-
ly stepping into a future of im-
measurable sacrifice, we are im-
posing upon ourselves means of
concentrating our power that are
utterly abhorent, we are daily
deepening our determination that
the Prussian autocracy shall get
off the world and are staking all
that we have and are to curry
through our purpose.
To the German people, .our
President has spoken our aim with
absolute sincerity. We have rio
desire to dismember them or any
body else. They are in no dang-
er of having our political forms
thrust upon them if we overcome
them in battle. The Germans
can have peace, so far as we are
concerned, when their state ceases
to be a menace to peace-loving
peoples. We believe that to seek
domination through war is the
vice of irresponsible power. The
German people must choose be-
tween curbing that power and
fighting us to the bloody and bit-
ter end. They believe in their
sufficiency and ultimate triumph.
So do we, and we shall test the
matter through whatever number
of years is necessary.
You Russians can see, then,
where we stand. We are fighting
for that tolerant liberalism which
will live and let live. That, we
understand, is what the new Rus-
sia stands for—to erect and main-
tain in the world a standard of
fair play. You have done great
things but you do not want us
to cajole you with flattery and
the appearance of agreement back
to the firing line. Permit us to
say. then, that you have not yet
earned the right to instruct Eng-
land and France in the ways of
democracy. Whatever of liberal-
ism the world possesses was born

are not all on the other side of
the battlefield. We are under no
delusion as to the patriotism that
prompts some of our citizens to
a participation in the struggle.
There are those in every country
who stand ready to fill their
purses from the generous impulse
of the Nation, who, when men’s
minds are fixed on the object of
their sacrifice, seek to steal a
mean advantage. Our rich men
as a whole are showing small
title to nobility. Our steel kings,
that you mention, are indeed
alive to the advantage that events
have given them, and know how
to exploit the Nation’s necessity.
But we are aware of this menace
to our liberties, the monopolv of
natural resources, the groundwork
of our economic oppression, and
shall most surely deal with it.
The only international policy
pies. We liberals believe with
you that the only permanent good
in dealings between nations is a
mutual good. It is only through
a community of liberal ideas that
internationalism can be born in-
to the world. Let us stand to-
gether in the fight against Uie
danger which unmistakably now
threatens to overwhelm all our
liberal institutions, and be thus
freed to win against the enemies
of democracy everywhere—The
Public.
