THE UEKMAN OFFENSIVE
Several weeks aiio the Record
stated a.s its opinion that the tier
mans would attack the Uritis
front. The Record reasoned that th
British front was the strongest
in
France and that Britain is now the
strongest enemy in coalition agains
the Germans. To defeat the great
est foe and put it out of the wa
would bring peace, according to the
Gorman view. The defeat of th
smaller nations, as will be recalled
only caused the allies to fight the
harder.
Only a few weeks ago the Record
cave it as its opinion that the
Germans were bound to begin an of
fensive in the west; they could not
hold their gains in the east and con
solidate their conquests unless they
could remove the menace of the al
lied armies. In three months, si
months or a year the Americans
would have an immense army
in
France. The Germans know this
Jt was necessary to strike at once
This is not written in the we-told
you-so spirit . lhe offensive may
not be genuine; it may be a feeler
and Germany may have a punch up
her sleeve for some other theatre
But the logic of the situation fa
vored the assumption that the Ger
man general staff would deliver
mighty blow against the strongest
belligerent in the west. That hap
pens to be England. The Record
declared Hindenburg's armies would
not break through. They will be
hurled back, and the German hope
of conquest will be ended.
In any event, the allies will do
well to keep their sentinels on the
job elsewhere; the mighty punch
may be delivered elsewhere, but the
logic of the situation points to the
British front.
LOYALTY TILVT COUNTS
Representative Lenroot of Wiscon
sin, who has won! the Republican
nomination to succeed the. later Sen
ator Hustings, was not always
staunch in his Americanism; in fact
it has been used against him on the
stump that ho was rather pro-Gorman
at one time in his career.
Mr. Lenroot today, however, is one
of the most loyal of American rep
resentatives, and that is what
counts. Wisconsin cannot go wrong
if either he or Mr. . Davies, the
Democratic candidate, is chosen sen
ator. Tartizans may favor one or
the other, but the vital thing is that
hoth arc right.
There are many men in the United
States who are ungrudging in their j
support or their country who have
unwittingly furthered the German
cause at times . They could not
foresee what Germany would at
tempt. Even the cloak and suit
makers of New York, at one time in
tensely pro-German, have swung
round and now denounce the Prus
sian robbers with as much spirit as
intelligent Republicans and Demo
crats. This country is more interested
just now in seeing that Americans
tfo to congress than that the parti-

Democrat or Republican.
Japan's loyalty to the cause of
the allies, in spite of tempting bait
angled before her by Germany, has
been unswerving. Japan has set an
example in fulfilling her engage
mcnts that some of the western pow
ers might emulate to advantage. We
hope this paragraph will find its way
to Berlin.

A CREDITABLE ENTERPRISE
The American people are fortu
nate in that there are a few publi
cations whose vision is broader than
the territory in which they circulate
most largely. This nation has too
many "obscure writers," as Addison
remarked in reference to careless
English newspaper critics of his time,
and they are doing the country im
manse damage. Anybody can name
the newspapers which see visions of
yellow and brown men marching
through the United States. We
have this kind of newspapers.
Fortunately, however, we have the
other kind. There are the Outlook
and the Springfield Republican and
the New York Times, chief exponents
of looking at things with our eyes
open and combatting the evil ten
dencies of baleful newspapers with
facts.
These things were brought to
mind by receipt of the Third Japan
Number of the New York Evening
Post, a 48-page magazine with col
ors, and nontaining speific informa
tion on our eastern ally. The chief
article in the Post is a plea for an
American mission to Japan, written
by the editor, and it is followed by
other articles by Japanese and Am
erican statesmen, publicists and oth
ers." The Post brings the two countries
closer together. Lately the people
of the United States have been more
cordial to their friends across the
Pacific and there is no reason why
there should not be a complete un
derstanding. Statesmen of both
countries have prevented crises, and
newspapers, like the Post, can do a
great deal towards creating that
sentiment which will insure complete
understanding between the "Yank
ees" of the west and "Yankees" of
the east.
SHIPPING LOSSES
The British admiralty is announc
ing the aggregate losses of ship ton
nage since the beginning of the war,
together with the net losses, has tak
en the allied public more into the
confidence of the governments. In
cidentally this official announcement
has eliminated the element of doubt
the people know where they stand.
The sinking of over 11,000,000
tons of shipping since the outbreak
of war has caused a strain on allied
shipping, but the alliied countries
have replaced all but a little over
2,000,000 tons with new ships and
the seizure of the Dutch vessels
brings the net losses down to some
thing like 1,000,000 tons. The sub
marines cannot win the war.
This progress in replacing losses
was made before the United States
seriously undertook to build ships;
the program this year will show
that the United States has contri
buted many thousands of tons. The
allies have nothing to fear.
The Record has received a letter
from its old friend, Victor Lee
Stephenson, formerly with the Ob
server, earlier still an old side-kick
of ye scribe, and now one of the
bright young men on the New York
Evening Post. In the olden days, one
couiu not ten trom "Vic's" copy
whether he wrote it with a pencil and
interlined it Jon a typewriter, but
he requires no pen or pencil now ex
cept to sign his name. When one
writes for the New York Evening
Post he must have class, and that
the former Statesville boy has.

OVER $1,700,000 PLEDGED
TO WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
Wlinston-Salem, March 22. Forty
four counties reporting $1,702,000 in
pledges to the "War Savings cam
paign have been enrolled at state
headquarters here as a result of the
Limit Club drive which has been on
in the state for the past two weeks.
The counties enr.ling more than a
hundred thousand dollar members
are:
Forsyth 182, Wake 130, Cleveland
117, Buncombe, 110, Edgecomb 110,
Gaston 107, and Wilson 100. Guil
ford reported the next highest num
ber which is 93. The remaining
counties which reported are: Ire
dell 75, McDowell 70, Durham 51,
Craven 43, Cumberland 40, Franklin
39, Stanly 35, Wayne 30, Randolph
26, Harnett 25, Cherokee 25, Union
23, Montgomery 20, Halifax 20, Pam
lico 20, Beaufort 20, Burke 18, Sur
ry 18, Wbrren 17, Swain 16, Gran
ville 15, Chowan 15, Johnson 10,
Jackson 10, Alleghany 9, Orange 7,
Lee 4, Hyde 4, Hoke 4, Yancey 3,
Stokes 3, Person 3, Madison 2, Avery
1 and Tyrrell 1.
While not half the counties in the
state have yet reported, the results
are considered sufficient to show
that th.e "Thousand Dollafr'" cam
paign has met with success. Rock
ingham, which is one of the most
active counties in the state in war
savings work, writes that she is not
working the "Limit Club" plan but
that she is hard at work on another
plan that will reach the people and
get results. She promises her full
quota of 1,000 members.
This week begins a campaign for
$500 contributors to the war savings
campaign. Every county is expect
ed to furnish at least five times as
many 500 subscribers as it did
$1,000 subscribers. That will mean
it is estimated something like 15,000
