It is estimated that 10,000,000 people perished in Eu rope as a direct effect of the war. Other millions have died since the armistice was signed, from its indirect! effects. Now former Ambassador Morgenthau, aftena tour of investiga- tion, anounces that "nothing on earth except a miracle from heaven can prevent the death by, freezing and starvation of from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 people in Europe and the Near East this winter." He wants to know whether America is "going to stand aside while Europe flounders in agony into dissolution." There' is iminent peril right now of a financial collapse in Europe, which if it comes will be the most disastrous in history. Such a collapse would add unnumtfered millions to the war victims, and leave a blight on European life for generations. It would add incalculably to the tides of dis content and! radicalism sweeping through the world.' It would prostrate business and defer reconstruction and sound prosperity in every country, including our own. The world is one today, more than ever before', in thought, feeling. and work. Europe , cannot be ignored Physical disease, moral disease, political disease, economic disease may come from Europe to America, just as the dis ease of war came and will, -unless America' does something about it. ' America saved civilization from Prussianism. "but the job did not end there. America must now save civilization country has done much, but it must do more. The United States is not only the Good Samaritan' among nations. It is also the man with many talents, from whom much is ex pected. And holding out a helpful hand to Europe is not mere chanty, - Like the man in the parable,, if America does not use its talents to advantage, they will be taken away. The whole world is bound up together, and our fortunes, despite our great independent resources and isolated position, are linked with those of parental Europe. If Europe goes down, America goes down, too not to the same depth, but lm measurably, lower than she would with- the Old World still standing fasti in its civilization and prosperity. What, then, is the United States to do? First of all, ratify the peace treaty so that the victory can be Clinched, and Prussianism can be kept down and there can be a sound basis for peace and reconstruction. Then Europe must have such help, in credit, goods 'and moral support, as the United States can render, until that prostrated continent gets on its feet again. . V Speaking of the heating problem it is said that there were 20,000,000 words spoken in Congress last session. That record may be broken this winter. But no satisfactory way has yet been devised for piping hot air long distances. ' I There's talk of Italy becoming a republic. That's mere-; ly getting back to first principles. It was Italy that invented republics. ... ; : With a musician ruling Poland and a poet aspiring to ; rule litaly, art is certainly picking up. Why doesn't some enterprising party nominate a painter or a sculptor for Presi dent in this country? The packers have been busy lately explaining how lit tle money they make. The coal operators carefully refrain from giving "gures. Treasury Department reports suggest that they have cleaned up more than the pac jeers. o A magazine writer says the. Germans like us now better than they do any other nation. We simply can't keep track of the love those Germans bear us. There s one thing sure( however.' When they loveus, they want something.

It Decent Always Change aa Friday Today the weather has moderated and the stir of business has opened all the streets and many of the county roads. Rural mail wil without doubt be delivered Friday, the optomistic Harriaburg Bulletin predicts. Hsve Patience Pity the newspaper carrier bays, pleada the Corvallis Times. They waded through last night's snow and some of them were aa late aa ten o'clock in getting through with their routes. That's really little more than boys can stand, and more than moat reasonable people will expect Today several people have suggested to the Colette-Times that they would be glad to pas up their paper rather than have the .boys try to get them.
