most of them will remain there.—

It cost a lot of money to send our
boys to France. It will cost just as
much to bring them back. Uncle Sam
is spending money by the millions on
the job he undertook. The fight is
over, but the "hall rent" is not all
paid. Another Liberty (or Victory)
loan is coming up soon after the first
of the year. Better start preparing.
We have got to see the whole thing
through. While the fighting is all
finished, the job is not yet completed

No matter how it turns out, Presi
dent Wilson could' have saved much
wear and tear on the nervous system
of tne world had he made clear be
fore he sailed for Europe just what
he proposed to do and defined the ex
act meaning of his peace terms, and
especially that relating to the free
dom of the seas. Utterances of both
English and French statesmen and
newspapers betray their anxiety as
to what the president has in mind
and they are losing no time in mak
ing their own intentions plain. It
may be the worry on both sides of
the Atlantic is without cause, but
why should have there been cause
for worry? The war was won by the
American people they are entitled to
a voice in the settlement, and thereis
thus early unmistakable evidence
that there will be no settlement
which they do not approve. The
president may give his terms, but
unless they are ratified by the people
they amount to nothing, and this be
ing so it is hard to find a good reas
on why they should not have been
told in advance just what tiie presi

insisted upon laying personally upon

llons. —Independent.

France and America, made it impos
sible that Germany could win.
It was not easy to see the part
played by seapower, for much of it
was everted behind the curtain or in
the wings, nor any easier to under
stand its effect. Yet the fact remains
that the navies of England ruled the
seven seas and silently held the Teu
tonic powers in the unbreakable
grip of vice. Tiiere probably has
never been so perfect use of sea
power as the use of the British navy
during the recent war. It is the one
arm of service that has dont what it
was set to do aud has done with
scarcely a slip, setback or instance of
recklessness. The -defeat of Craddock
off Chile is the only instance ot fail
ure that now comes to mind.
Bismarck knew that neapower had
overthrown the great Nepoleon, and
BKmarck took pains to wage wars in
which seapower could not be used
against Prussia or Germany. But
Emperor William, who is said to
have told Mahan that he had devour
ed his books on seapower, misread
them and mistook shadow for sub
stance. He deluded himself into the
belief that his navy was a match for
England's and that Germany's future
lay on the sea. His delusion caused
him to lean on a broken reed and
brought him to a Waterloo.—Spokes
