THE CROAKERS. Croakers who are disgruntled at the finaeial cost of civiliza tion’s victory over Prussianism would do well to reflect what the cost would have been had events turned out contrarywise. We might have won on a good deal less, but then suppose we had lost! There was waste be it admitted; there was shortsightedness here, bungling there, and divers sorts of money-losing inefleiency. Nev ertheless, we are now dictating the pence terms, instead of desper ately figuring how to pay indem nity to the Hohenzollerns. That should be some consolation to the croakers. As tlie Anderson, (S. C.) Mail cogently puts it: “If a few dollars were needlessly spent, what of it? After tiie fire is out and the factory has been saved, it’s easy to fret about the quan tity of water used and the splash es on the office rug.” America’s human losses in the war, including deaths in action and from disease, numbered ap proximately seventy-two thou sand lives. Mow many of those youths, do you imagine, return ed their sacrifice in the trms of dollars and cents, or paid their heroic debt with a miserly grudge? The rank and file of them assuredly could have said in their hearts with Nathan Hale, “My only regie! is that 1 have but one life to give my country.” How petty and truly pitable in contrast are the croaks of them who, having all the priceless ben efits which those sacrifices made secure, yet essay to write the epic of the war on the keys of a cash register. Wliy was it that American loss es numbered approximately seven two thousand men, whilst those of Britain ran high into the hun dreds of thousands, and those of France into millions? It was be cause we had a few months of ex tensive fighting, whilst our Allies had four years of it. But suppose America’s pr eparations and ex penditures had been on a smaller scale than they were. Suppose the Government had thought more of saving money than of producing guns and munitions and ships and airplanes and all the other mountainous array of material and equipment. Suppose that instead of speeding two mill ion soldiers to the front, without hesitating at the cost, the Govern ment had gingerly figured on the minimum force that would sufiee to break the llindenburg line, and had paused to haggle over ev ery contract which entered into this herculean perfomance. Who will say that if these penurious tactics had prevailed, the war would have ended last November leaving us with a life loss of only seventy-two thousand? Who will say that it would not still be in progress, with an ever-lengthen ing list of casualties, an ever-wid ening toll of broken hearts. It was gigantic expenditures that en abled America to put her forces so swiftly and so decisively in the field; and, though there was many a wasted dollar, there is also a many spared life, in consequence. Let us think of these things when the croaker begins a lamen tation from his little puddle of self-interest. Let us think of them when the Victory Loan cam paign begins, and we are called upon to do our part once more in sustaining the Government’s credits, wherewith the war for civ ilization was won.—Atlanta Jour nal.
