June, the month of weddings, finds France and Eng land facing a serious problem in the shortage of men of marriagable age. The young women of England, at an age when they would be most likely to be marrying outnumber the men of similar ages two to one. In France 58 per cent of the men between the ages of 21 and the flower of bridegroomhood, are dead. , This is no matter for light mirth, for time-honored. jokes about old maids and like Involous comment. It is truly a terrible situation as regards human happiness and the continuance of the race in England and r ranee. A national suggestion has been that these girls im migrate in great numbers to the United States and Can ada where the war has not taken such a heavy toll of the men. This suggestion has met with some opposition on both sides of the water, the girls of America apparently dreading lest their chances for happy matrimony be less with an influx of willing brides frob abroad. But, after all, why not welcome these girls? Mar riage is largely a matter of selection; and if American Henry wants American Elizabeth, not all the Marys in Britain or Maries in France can stop him. Perhaps sharing the marriageable men of America with the bereft women of Europe is only part of the burden-bearing which has fallen to America's lot. TEASANT WOMEN KNIT NOW. have nionev.

Almost anything that congress might do, or is likely to do, now could be pointed out as following the suggestions made by the chief executive. The game of diplomacy in which the president has been engaged so strenuously for several months may have had the effect of transforming him into a more adroit politician than heretofore. , The great Red Cross centers in America are closing, one by one, though the activities of the society will be ex tended in peace no less actively than in war. The knitting needles are being packed away in the attic along with the winter underwear, and American women are turning to other employments for the fingers once so busy with needles and yarn. But in the meantime the inhabitants of the devastated villages of Belgium and France are taking up their knit ting needles, as one by one they iind a doorway to sit beside or a bit of roof to shelter them. In order that every refugee woman who desires to knit may have supplies, the Red Cross societies abroad will distribute over $2,000,000 worth of knitting mater ials including 1)00,000 pounds of yarns. It is pleasant iiugury of better times to come, when the peasant women of Europe once more turn to their knitting. The Prussians are finding those Fourteen Poh's sharper than they expected. An Irishman who calls himself "Envoy of the Provis ional Government of Ireland," says that the Irish Repub lic will welcome the aid of "the freeman of th; Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic." Untangling all these words, we seem to find a bid for an alliance between Sinn Fein and the Bolsheviki. Do the Sinn Feiners im agine that that will help them to win recognition What has become of the "parlor socialist?" An Armenian friend, a good citizen and a good Ameri can, too, objects to some of the off-hand comment of this paper on the Armenian question. Well, maybe we are wrong, since the eastern question is one that has puzzled the sages and statesmen of all ages. The more we West erners dabble in the muddle the more trouble we accumulate.
