Armistice Day
A year ago on '1 uesday next,
the armistice was signed. It is
still a debatable question wheth
er it was not signed too soon.
At first glance it would seem
that the claims of humanity, in
the saving of further loss of iife
and destruction of property, out
weighed those- of military glory,
which a more derisive victory
would bring. Rut it is by no
means certain that refraining
from the thorough subjugation
of Germany and giving her a
taste* of her own meelicine, by
the ravaging of her territory,
will in the eml prove the more-
merciful course*. This, time can
only determine, and there is
something to be-said tor erring on
the- part of mercy. If Germany
proves sincere in her promises of
amemiment and restitution, well
and goe)d, but if she is ernly
marking time, so as to get reor
ganized and in shape to repudi
ate her agree-nu-nts, then the
allies made a big mistake in not
giving her tin- epiietus when it
was possible.
The Coal Strike
In spite ot the- clouds of ver
biage* with which tin- union lead-
e-rs of tlu- miners try te>enshroud
their action of e*allimr a strike- in
the soft coal mines, the- public
will re-gard i: nothing short of a
bedel up. Coining as it does on
tlu* ev e of winter, it is evident
that they thought it was the pro-
pi ions moment tor extorting de\-
mands w Inch are self condemned
by their own umvasonahleness.
Rut they will learn that they
have overreached themselves.
I ’ nfortunate-h those- re-sponsible
will md suffer as their dupes.
We* hope the* government will re
main tirm. otherw ise sooner or
later there will be no longer any
ge)vernnu*nt but anurcln with its
attendant tyranny and ruth-
lessnesg.
p is an ill wind etc., the delay
« ' the senate in ratifying the
••«-ity. is mitigated by tin fact
x at the extraordinary war pow-
, is of the presielent have not
tn-en withdrawn ami he- ha^ tnvn
able to act promptly in the* pres
ent e risis.
Now that a retrospect of the
war is possible and some conclu
sions can be drawn as to the rea
sons for Germany’s defeat, it
may be said that she lost through
a series of miscalculations. Ger
many would have won the war:
I f Belgium had not refused to
alleiw her neutrality to be vio
lated.
I f England had not regarded her
treaty with Belgium and her
agreement with France as more
than mere “ scraps o f paper. ”
If the British empire had not
acted as a unit.
I f Russia had not forced Ger
many to split up her forces
and carry on the war at two
fronts.
I f the military governor of Paris
General Gallieni, had not, con
trary to all military precedent
when Kluck was nearing Paris,
summoned all his available
men and made a victorious
sortie.
I f Italy had not abandoned the
triple alliance.
I f Japan had not kept her word
with England and relieved tin-
latter of patrolling the Pacific
waters and custed Germany
from Kiaochau.
If the Lusitania had not been
torpedoed.
If Germany had not determined
on unrestrained submarining.
I f America had not entered
the war.
If Germany’s cause had not been
unjust.
If Germany had not run counter
to the MORAL GOVERNOR
OF THE UNIVERSE. WHO
