Anyway, Admiral Wilson, of the U. S. N., is a good
sport He takes whatever blame may be attached to the
sending out of the United Press report that an armistice
had been signed between the allies and Germany which
ended the war.
THE UNITED PRESS EXPLAINS.
The Capital Journal is inclined to think that it was
mistreated by the United Press, which furnishes it a leas
ed wire telegraph service. .' ....
We do not mean to say that this was intentionally
done but was no doubt the result of too great a desire to
beat rival press associations to the news.
The United Press has an explanation today blaming
the whole affair 6n the cable service and the censor. They
claim to have filed a; cablegram to the effect that the
armistice had been signed, on the authority of Admiral
Wilson at Brest, France. -" ' ,
Later, the explanation says, the admiral announced
that the news was unconfirmed, and that their cablegram
stating this fact was .held-up, and never got through to
the United States.
We know nothing about this ourselves. We pay the
United Press for its full leased wire service. The associa
tion has, heretofore, been reliable and enterprising. Their
' . . ' ja .1 111. J
explanation of the occurance ot yesterday win nave to
stand for itself.
That the war is practically over is almost.a certainty,
and, since all information is to the effect that the envoys
are in session, an official announcement of the signing of
an armistice may be expected at any time.
The Canital Journal regrets the. occurance of yes
terday exceedingly because it' prefers being reliable to
If the United Press management cannot prove con
clusively that they were honest in this instance and the
victims of a serious mistake on the part of cable officials,
they will not continue very much longer to serve the
Capital Journal with news.
THE GERMANS MUST PAY.
In all our discussions of peace terms, Americans
should never lose sight of the fact that Germany must
pay for the damage she has donoe in invaded countries,
and that nothing must be allowed to interfere with such
payment,
There is a popular impression now that if the German
people promptly 'overthrow their government and estab
lish a responsible democratic government, they will be
allowed to evade the natural penalties incurred by Ger
many in the war she has waged against innocent nations.
Some penalties, no doubt, the German people may es
cape or sfoten, if they act with sufficient celerity and
honesty. But surely the allied governments do not intend,
and the allied peoples should not permit it if they did in
tend, that b yso doing the German nation may avoid its
just war bills.
There must be reparation to France and Belgium, and
to other nations whose cities Germany has destroyed and
whose lands she has ravaged withouot provocation. If the
property of the Hohenzollerns and their fellow-freebooters
is taken by an awakened people and applied to that
purpose, well and good But it will noftgo far. ; There are
inany billions to pay.
Any popular government that is the successor of the
present autocratic government will inherit its pecuniary
obligations to creditor nations. A German republic may
disclaim some of the heritage of distrust and hate be
queathed by the German Empire, but it cannot disclaim
the heritage of retribution for property destroyed.
The German property must make good the property
wiped out by Germans. Not only as the heir of the pres
entent German government, but as an accessory to the
government created by the German nation should pledge

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
THE UNHAPPY BARD.
Most workers pull down princely wages, reward of
honest sweat: but still the bards and kindred sages must
take what they can get. -The man who comes to do my
choring draws many bones a day, and at odd moments he
is roaring, because of meager pay. At times I hire a
learned mechanic to tinker round my car; his charges
put me m a panic, and gives my soul a jar. The butcher,
grocer, and the baker have hiked their prices high; and
I'm afraid the undertaker will skin me when I die. On
everything the price is higher, except on deathless pomes,
and bards can hardly find a buyer for products of their
domes. My wife declares she needs a bonnet, she's worn
her lid three years, and I remark, "I'll write a sonnet, a
thing of smiles and tears; and if it fetches in some plund
er, a roll of good long green, you'll have a helmet that's a
wonder; the smoothest ever seen." Then in the market
place I flaunt it, among the shopping gents, but not a
buyer seems to want it for more than forty cents. They
've raised the price on hens and hearses, on all. the things
that grow, but soaring and immortal verses won't bring
ten cents a throw.

Bulh could scarcely impress tho guilty
feeling she. had a,t accepting her em
ployer's invitation. It camo over her
that she was doing oxaetly what sho.
hated so to have Brian do -then ex
cused herself on tho ground, of business.
Had Brian boon coming homo as usu
al, she would not have gone. But Mr.
Mamtcl had been so insistent' that she
diuo witlr"hiui, if sho worked ovor-
tune, that it had been easier to consent
than to refuse.
Ill will be careful not to toll him
when Brian is out," she said to her
self as she smoothed her hair, pre
paratory to going to dinner. fcho had
worked with Mr. Mandel until a little
past cven, and was both Tired and
hungry.
She was thankful for tho waiting
taxi. It would rest her a bit.
" Sfou arc very tired,' Mr. Mnndol
said us sho leaned bock -with au un

"Kot so vory," Kutk had answered,

'You must eat a good dinner. Then
I '11 goud you hxmie in a cab. I was go
ing to propose a theater; but you aro
too tired."
"Oh, I couldn't have gone!" Ruth
exclaimed, knowing sho would havo en
joyed a good play.
"Why not!"
"It wouldn't be right for mo to do
something so selfish whon Brian, my
husband, is working," sho had not told
her employer that her husband was go
ing to school. Simply that ho had to
be out on business.

dently knew nothing. Had he realized
that already Ruth was terribly jealous
of Mollio King, that sho knew of some
of Brian's visits; ho would havo hesi

day whon she saw them when thoy vis

"It will do you good," ho hndsaid
when sho objected, and so once mure
sho did as ho asked rather than discuss
tho matter furthor.
When they finished ho put Ruth into
a taxi, bade her good night, adding:
"Don't hurry down in the morning.
You need tho rest."
"Was ever employer so kindf" Rnth
wondered as she loaned back in the
corner of the cab. All through dinner
ho had chatted brightly, told her inter
esting stories and anoedotes of people,
without taxing her in the least to do
her part to entertain him. She had
been grateful. She' did not fool like
Walking and it had been a relief to know
it was not required of her. And some
way she knew that Arthur Mandol
knew sho did not want to talk; and so
had saved her tho necessity.
Ruth was just the typo of a woman
who appreciated such delicacy of atten
tion, Hho thought much of Manlol as
a consoquoncc. Sho regarded- him as
tho kindest, most thoughtful man she
ever had known. Occasionally she won
dered idly why ho never had married,
and was rather pleased, that he had not,
although sho could havo given no rea
son for the. feeling.
Sho went directly to bed when sho ar
rived homo and fell asleep almost im
mediately., Sho had not intended to;
she meant to wait for Brian and tell
him of hor .nice dinner, and hear how
he had got along with his typewriter.
But she really had been very fatigued,
and so had slumbered, rcgardlessol her
intent to remain awako.
She woke with a start! she must have
fallen asleep. But Brian was not yet
in, so sho could not havo been sleeping
long. Ho had said he would be home
a little after nine if he had his lesions
early; and it had been just nine when
sho lay down. '
Sho' looked at the tiny clock on her
dressing table. It was after eleven. She
had dozed nearly two hours. Where in
the world was Brian f
Sho went to the window to watch
for him.
Just as the clock struck twelve she
saw him. Some impulse, for which she
could not account, sent her scurrying
back to bod; and made her pretend to
be asleep whon Brian switched on the
lights. - '

Late as Before.
