THE BITER IS ABOUT TO BE BITTEN : The German "military. overlord exultantly planned "pincer" movement for their drive upon Paris and the ports. It failed. The whole plan failed. ; Failed, because the world is tired of military overlords. Because peoples are tired of kings. , BecauHe democracy is triumphant. Now4, the biter is about to be bitten. The forces of democracy and decency and justice are about to be given a chance for a "pincer'V movement against the decimated and discouraged and fagged-out German armies and, if the leaders of the forces of pro gress think it is worth the cost, they will close the jaws of their great pincers, their human nut-cracker, and -wipe out the gains of the Germans which they have made at the expense of a half mil lion lives and at the same time all but wipe out the German forces now holding the bloody ground they have taken mt the awful cost. Military autocracy is on the skids, headed for eternal oblivion. " " , . Those old grannies in the United States senate who are weeping because the United States is not fully ready in all things ought to be Oslerized. Of course, the United States is not fully ready, in all departments. But she is getting ready, more swiftly than any nation ever did, in all the world's history. It looks like & Waterloo for the Ilohenzollern. - . ; The Americans are helping. :" 4 , THE WORLD'S DE CISIVE BATTLES. , ' The list of fifteen decisive battles of the world, to which the Ger man emperor declared he purposed to add a '"sixteenth" before the area t battle now rasing- on the western front is concluded, is as follows: The battle of Marathon, In which the Persian hosts were defeated by the army of Greeks under Mil t lades, B. C 490. The defeat of the Athens at Syracuse, B. C 413. , The battle of Arbela, in which the Persians under Darius were de feated by the invading Greeks under Alexander the Great, B. C. 331.

Even the German people will not for long ac cept a different version. The British and French reserves will throw tbe Huns out of their new positions. If they think it ts worth the .cost. But they will count the cost. The German general staff counted the cost, and the German soldiers paid it, with half a milllonjllve. But it - cannot be repeated. i Eten the German people can be "fed up" on slaughter when It Is the slaugh ter of, their own.

For a thousand years this ancient custom has survived. Year after year the bounty is distributed to deserving men -and women amounting to the total number of years of the king's age. The custom originated In the practice or washing the : feet of , twelve beggars on Maundy Thurs day, but this usage has not been oh served in England since the time of James If. At one time tbe king' lunty was distributed by the lord high almoner In the chapel royal Whitehall, but it is now given dur ing a special service in Westminster Abbey. 'Members of the reichstag are ask ing embarrassing questions, and all they get in reply is more talk about tbe might of the German sword.

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell pre dicts the day when the airships will attain such speed that wings may be unnecessary. It Is a mistake, he cays, to believe that even the present type of airplaine ; is supported in flight because of the pressure of the planes. The present war alliance is not entangling." Tbe United States is entangled by circumstances, not by association. It is caught in tbe maze of German deceit. Intrigue, ambition and cruelty in defiance of the laws of nations. George Washington would have declared vigorously for the cambatting of German evil. LlXCOLXH CiRKAT GHANDDAUGff. TKIl TO PEJIFOIUI FARM WOIIK. Mary Lincoln Beckwith, great granddaughter of Abraham Lincoln, who has been representing the Wo man's Division of the Committee on Public Information in Cuba, has re turned to this country and states her determination to plough the fields of the family farm in Vermont as part of her war work this spring. "Last year there were only eight men left to cat the hay on an 800 sere farm," said Miss Beckwith, and conditions will be even worse this year. I could not sit on a ver andah In Cuba and knit when there was a man's place to be filled here." Miss Beckwith has purchased a tractor which will be attached to her automobile and she believes that the work of ploughing can thus be done without undue effort or even discom fort. She has taken a short agricul tural course at Cornell as a prepar ation for her field work and hopes to organize a unit of young womed who- will aid farmers In that section of the country lacking male labor. Miss Beckwith, who Is said to have inherited much of the spirit of her great ancestor, is a granddaughter of Robert T. Lincoln of Chicago, Abraham Lincoln's eldest son, and at one time secretary of war. . A SIGNIFICANT OMLS8IOX. j i By MARION HARLAND f of The Vigilantes. The thoughtful: student of the times In which we live cannot fa'.l to note a significant omission in the several pious peans Issued by the kaiser in summing up the results of each campaign. His exultant con- fidence that he has bad the coopera tion of high heaven In every victory Is nothing short of advertisement o2 co-partnership with tbe Ruler of the Universe, This he proclaims In so many words and in terms that may well shock the reverent reader of Holy Writ. In none of these proclamations does he once make mention of Him for Whom the whole Christian Fami ly in heaven and earth is named tbe Saviour of a sinful world. 1 have called the omission "sig nificant." It Is too marked to be unintentionaL To the Christian be liever it does not seem possible that, at the height of his vainglory, the would-be monarch of the world dare blend with his thanksgiving thoughts of the Prince of Peace.

Yet! the Lucifer of the twentieth century is wise in his generation in avoiding sedulously aught that might remind the world he would conquer of the promised reign of Righteousness, the triumph of Love over Hate. Furthermore, we write down the impious braggart as infidel to the Fatherhood of the God he blas phemes in arrogating to himself al liance with Deity in this most Un holy War, What place in the kais ers creed has the tender Parent Whose mercies are over all His works? Whose compassions fail not. and are new every morning?' "Who clears the grounding berg. And guides the grinding floe, He hears the cry of the little kit-fox And the lemming in the snow." The kaiser's god finds a feeble likeness in the pagan's juggernaut, rolling right onward with a fixed smile upon bis painted face, crush ing and mangling old men and maid ens, strong men of war and babies in his ruthless career. To our shame be It said, we have seen matter for mirth in the mon strous iniquity of coupling the In communicable .
