' 1 It would be of little use if President Wilson were not in full accord with the idea and its aims. In fact, it might do more harm than 'good. ' i " . Senator Chamberlain's proposed war cabinet is obviously in tended to be made on the Britisfimodel. It is very questionable that a'sueeess would be made of adapt ing the British idea to American conditions. " The war cabinet set up by Premier Lloyd George a year ago Kas'noY'been vindicated by conspicuous success. The result after - a' year Is that Lloyd George is virtually the whole tiring. The unsatisfactory British experience with a war cabinet wofcld be repeated here if it were an effort to place the Presidency in com i missionVith stout congressional strings tied to it, - No inner political group of ruling men can by law be established-at Washington for the prosecution of the war. No triumvirate can thus be set up by CJongress, having representatives of the leading parties. As against . the President such a group would be' powerless, and calling it a Cabinet instead of a council would not make it any the less an ad ' visory body.; For it is impossible to deprive the President of power ' commensurate with his constitutional responsibility. ! . . The responsibility must be the President's in any event- f , .. If President Wilson thought he needed a -council 1 other tharr ihis regular cabinet, it would of course be well for Congress to pro Tide fori this arrangement. ; - - ' ? . li If be thinks, as he no doubt does that the cabinet as at present constituted will sejve the country better, as it has stood the test of all the wars" we have, be fofe been engaged' in, then the matter may as well be left as at present. ; I " . i , ' There are ample provisions forisecuring thejseryices .of the very, men who would be selected to serve on the proposeed new council ;or cabinet. ; .. j v .' i The most competent men in the United States, in nearly all ;lines, are. giving their services to the .Government freely. i: IJvery patriotic citizen of the "country stands ready to do the, , It is not a "tempest in a teapot.' The issues are too great to call it that. - ' ' - '.And the discussion may have done good." : ,But the President ought to have bis way, without questioii. He would have his way, any way, even with a new war cabinet or council. ' i ' rectly connected with the war. Any of these that can wait should be held in abeyance until the war with its enormous demands for aid is brought to" an end. Some time ago it was reported that 20(0 doctors would be nejeded for immediate service in the jwar. At that 'time so great a number seemed too many to hope for. And now ten times that number, without nourish of trumpets and without bravado, but just as service simply given to their own kind in their hu man need have offered themselves. BOOKS FOB OUR SOLDIERS. More than half a millon books have been, sent :by. the American library association to American sol diers and sailors jin; training camp3. Thirty-four library buildings fcjave been, or are being, erected in tne main camps. Trained and experi enced librarians have been put in charge at these camps to organize and conduct the library service. Tha smaller camps, posts and forts and the nava stations and vessels are being supplied with books and maga zines througjp their chaplains, Young Men's Christian Association and Knights of 'Columbus secretaries. Plans have been made for the sup plying of books to the men on board transports and for the shipment of books to France. The thirty-'four buildings erecteJ were made possible by a grant of $320,000 from the Carnegie corpora tion. They are simple in design and construction, but are rather more at tractive than the other camp build ings. They are equipped with com fortable, chairs and provide a quiet, restful place for reading and study. The library building houses the cen tral or main library. Every Young Men's Christian association and Knights of Columbus building, every Young Women's Christian associa tion hostess house and every base hospital reading room in all thesa camps Is a branch of the Americaa library association camp library. Daily delivery of books, magazines- and newspapers is made to these branches and deposit stations by an Awierican library association camp' library automobile-.

There should bej careful thought given to all money-raising enterprises not di- Ezpert motor builders of the coun try agree) that; the Liberty motor is all that has been claimed for it. It will be remembered that it was brought into being through their un selfish cooperation. Fifty of them at an early private conference discussed the strong and weak points of their own motors as the basis, for giving Uncle Sam th-J best motor possible. Out of the dis closures so made grew the Liberty motor, which Major James G. Vin cent, late vice president of the Pack ard Motor company; told a recent gathering of motor men In New York city "is more efficient than any mo tor made tbroad." This engine can be made in. greater 'quantities than any, other, on account of the standardization of its parts, and be cause of their recognition of Its mer its the allies have ordered in as large numbers as can be , spared. Major Vincent might be expected to exalt this American product but the fact that so , many other . experts agree with his estimate is calculated to' reassure the country in the face of the statement that foreign motors and air machines are always' being changed and improved. " Evidently these experts consider the present result the best possible. And- to start off with what they believe to be tho best ' motor in the world means so much of advantage. And, besides, the Liberty motor will drive the best fighting airplanes In the world; manned by the most efficient bird men . in the world. The United States is now ready to begin the work of taking the domin ion of the skies. j Now for more loganberries. The manufacturing end is stabil ized. And the selhng end", which is tho big thing. Peace before spring. K S ' That is the hope of the German socialists. Philip Schiedemann, the Socialist leader, came out into the open, for the first time since the war started, and talked in plain words. He knew he could do so safely, too, for the first time, or he would have miiiced his words. V The order from Washington Is to save more wheat, "and more nie.it especially pork. N The American people trill willing ly comply. They want the -so.dier boys in France to be properly ra tioned; and-they want the civilian population of the allied nations to have enough to 'eat. ' - ' S V The report of yesterday that Aus tria had broken away frqpi Germany ana would make a separate peace with Russia was not confirmed. That Austria would like to break away from Germany, however. If she dared or could, is evident to the entire world. - S Philip Scheidemann, the German Socialist leader, tells tho people of that country that German; and tLe United States can, agree on peace terms, excepting is to Alsace and Lorraine, The crime of 1870 per sists, in disturbing the peace of the world, as it has 'done. for over forty years. There must be no such crime la? the 'forthcoming peace terms. . m S i Don't worry there will be no short age of salt In' the country.

Back in tho Middle West they would say. the same thing, but refer to the measure as being "hog tight." i It is all right to believe that In the tomorrow of death" those who have uvea userul lives here on earth will be transported to some far-off heav en, and certainly no one can disprove the contention of the religious mlnC ed that such a happy destiny awaits tho faithful. But it is rtlll a good plan . to gather a the fjowers or earth I while contemplating the bliss of a more perfect afterwhile.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 10.-What Serbia and Montenegro have to ex pect from a victorious Germany is indicated in an ai tide' published in the' German papers from, the .pen of the Austrian historian. Professor Ileinrich Friedjung. He says: , - "It will be the duty of the victor to consider carefully the good of the Serbian people, and not make them pay for the sins of their , King and his advisors. The uniting of Serbia with Austria-Hungary will fulfill the desire of the Serbians for national unity. Serbian would be closely bound to iAnstria;Hungary by eco nomic tiest In this way the Serbian people would emerge from the strug gle victors. In spite of their terrible sufferings. The House of Hapsburg will give better guarantees for, the prosperous development of the Ser bian people-than their own dynasty which is responsible .for all their troubles. If 'Serbia .kept hey army and her Independence, she would be used as a tool by fanatics supported by English and Russian money. But incorporated in the Austrian Empire, only small garrisons will be neces sary.
