"There are so many different wavs of looking at money.-' I aald. A hundred and seventy millions look big at first alance. It la forty times what Jefferson gave for the Louisiana territory. It's a dollar and seventy cents tor very man. woman and child in the land; It's more than eight dollars and a half for every household. "You can figure It on that basis." I told him. "On the basis of dollars and cents. Or you can figure tt on the basis of boys." "Of boys?" he questioned, "I do not understand." "It's less than fifteen cents a day for each of our soldiers and sailors." I answered. "Fifteen cents a day for warmth and comfort and entertain ment, and lectures and games and the thought of mother and God." "Fifteen cents a day for a boy; two for a quarter a day. How many boys will you take?" And his eye kindled. "I think I roulil take ten at least," he said. He irew his check book out. "Figure it out and tell me the price," he said. I want you to give them the best you've got. What is it going to cost?" " for ten boys, for a year, at two for a quarter a day?"

It will be Impossible for the German command tn renew. "It is not possible yet to asesa the consequences of this great consumma tion. We know only that this tragic al war whose consuming flames swept from one nation to another until all the world was on tire, la at an end and that It was tho privilege of our own people to enter It at its most critical Juncture In such a fashion and In such force as to contribute, In a way of which we are all deeply proud, to the great result. "We know, too, that the object of the war Is attained, the object upon which all free men had set their hearts, and attained with a sweeping completeness, which even now we do not realize. Armed Imperialism such as the men conceived who were but yesterday the masters of Germany, la st an end, Its Illicit ambitions engulf ed in black disaster. Who will uow seek to retrieve it? The arbitrary power of the' military caste of Ger many which once could sucretly and of Its single choice disturb the peace of the world Is discredited and de stroyed. And. more than that, much more than that, has been accotupllh ed. The great nations which associ ated themselves to destroy It have now definitely united In the common purpose to set up such a pence as will satisfy the longing of the whole world for disinterested Justice em bodied In settlements which are bus ed upon something much better aud more eluting than the selfish competi tive interests of powerful suites. There is no longer conjecture as to the objects the victors have In mind They have a mind In the matter, not only, but a heivrt also. Their avowed and concentrated purpose is to sutls fy and protect the weak as well as to accord their Just rights to the strong, "The humane temper and Intention of the victorious governments has already been manifested In a very practical way. Their representatives in the supreme war council at Ver sailles have by unanimous resolution assured tho peoples of the central empires that everything that Is pos sible In the circumstances will bo done to supply them with food and relieve the distressing want that Is in so many places threatening their very lives, and steps are to be taken Immediately to organize the) ef forts at relief In the same systematic manner that they were organized In the case of Belgium. By the use of the tonnage of these central empires it ought presently to be Impossible to lift the fear of utter misery from their oppressed population and set their minds and energies free for the great and hazardous task of political reconstruction which now faces them on every hand. Hunger docs not breed reform; It breeds madness and all the ugly ditemyers that make an orderly life Impossible. "For with the fall of the ancient governments which rested like an In cubus upon the people of the central empires have come political changes not merely but revolution; and revo lution which seems as yet to assume no final and ordered form, but to run from one fluid change to another, un til thoughtful men are forced to ask themselves with what governments and of what sort are we shout tn deal III the making of the covenants of peace? With what authority shall they meet us and with what assurance that their authority will abide and sustain securely the International ar rangements Into which we ara about to enier? There Is hers matter for no small anxiety and misgiving. When peace Is made, upon whose promises and engagements besides our own Is It to rest? "Let us be perfectly frank with ourselves and admit that these ques tions cannot be satisfactorily answer ed uow or at once. Hut the moral Is not that there Is little hops of an easy answer that will suffice. It Is only that we must bs patient and helpful and mindful above all of the great hope and confidence that lie at the heart of what la taking place. Kxcesses accomplish nothing, Unhap py Itussla has furnished abundant re cent proof of thst. Disorder Imme diately defeuls Itself. It excesses should occur, If disorder should for a time raise Its head, a sober second thought will follow and a day of con structive action. It we help and do not hinder. "Tho present and all that It holds belongs to the tuitions and the peo ples who preserve their self-control and the orderly purposes of their gov ernments; the future to those who prove themselves the true friends of mankind. To conquer with arms Is to make only a temporary conquest; to conquer the world by earning Its esteem Is to make permanent con quest. I am confident that the nations that have learned the discipline of freedom and that have settled with self possession to Its ordered practice are now about to make conquest of the world by the sheer power of ex ample and of friendly helpfulness. "The peoples who have but Just come out from under the yoke of ar bitrary government and who are now coming at lust Into their freedom will never find the treasures of liberty they are In search cf If they lunk fur them by the light of the torch. They will find that every pathway that Is Stained with the blood of their broth ers lends to the wilderness, not to the seat of their hope. They are now face to face with their Initial t"t. We must hold the light steady, until they find themselves. And In the meantime If It be possible, we must establish a peace that will Justly de fine their place among the tuitions, remove all fear of their neighbors and of their former masters, and en able them to live In security aud con tentment when they have" set their own affairs in order. I, for one, do not doubt their purpose or their cap acity. There are some happy signs that they know and will choose the way of self-control and peaceful ac commodation. If they do nut. we must wait with patience and sympa thy the awakening and recovery that will assuredly come at last." w. s. s. bristling with rifles and all the fugi tives were armed.
