If Britain has been spending twenty
eigiit uiu a naU in.li.cn uoiais a day
on the war then somebody has not
been getting hts money's worth.
It doesn't seem that England needs
a tmauer cab.net so much as she
needs greater generals. How incom
parably priceless to her would ha"e
been Wellington during the pant year.
Greece i3 the last of the little
nctions to be tried out. She Is jmw
turning hot and cold ir her indeavjr
to hnd out which lid It will be better
to burn on.
General Von Biasing. German mill
trry governor of Belgium, Issued on
ed;ct protecting the song buds of that
country. Probably many a BelgUn
has long since wished to be a lark or
wren.
Railroad men have had their trials
In recent years and they are going *o
have some more soon according to
ptess dispatches. Well, freight and
passenger tolls pay for their Lawyers.
That is to say the people pay to
prosecute the railroads and pay to
dr fend them too. Kunny business.
The claim by a German scientist
tr?.t Moses was a German may have
seme basis in fact. Wasn't there
something some where that we us»J
to read about his breaking all the ten
o-mmandmcnts at one crack? And
Germany's enemies say that she h-ie
broken all the commandments and
tier some.
Isn't tt about time for the Culebra
cut to take another slide? Or have
the army engineers finally got a
etirngie hold on it? If they have, it
might be a good idea to turn them
lotse cn Villa and the Mexican situa
tion and thus give them another kind
of a chance to use their ability which
to undoubted.
The heroes la some of the moving
pictures have the most wonier'ul
revolvers ever made. With these little
pocket pistols they are able to fire
»<vpral hundred shots at their foes
without ever reloading. Also they are
the worst shots in the world. At a
distance of only a few feet they cm
miss a dozen times in succession and
It doeatn't bother them. They keep
on shooting.
Congressmen In Washington may
not be arested while congress is in
session and most of them leave the
cr-pital as soon as adjournment ia
taken. This may account in «orr.e
mrnsure for the progress prohibition
frr the District of Columbia Is making
as a result of the lobbying of the
anti-saloon workers A senator or re
po sen tative might bring back a
valise full of booze every time he
runs over to New York to spend a
eight on "public business" and no
Washington cop will be able to take
his nourishment away from him.
Most women on being asked whether
othey object to emoking will reply
Uial they Ae Ml, whatever may he
their real feeling in the matter. It
seems a part of feminine diplomacy
In approve of certain masculine in
dulgences. All of which philosophic
tru.suns are merely introductory to

Great Britain, It sernu, which has

Perhaps the immeuiate success of
l'r-nch arms toliow ,ng the retirement
of Joffre and the assumption of su •
pi erne command by General Pet Ain
may have already finally turned the
scale for more war. Perliaps there
arc internal reasons in idngland which
tend to make peace at almost any
price higmy aesuabie. As every let

Is censored we can only surmise the
state of public sentiment there. Xc
letters expressing discontent wouid be
allowed to come to us through the
mails.
W hile we wait with intense interest
for the outcome of the peace proposal
and the counter offer, we may be
certain only of this; that now is a
dramatic hour in world history. The
gnr.t minds controlling the desinies
of nations are try ing to peer into the
future. They are sincerely trying to
bs«t serve their countries. They may

lo see what mistakes, if any, wore
trade. We are ail wise in our after
thoughts. Only the really great minds
ore wise in their premonitions.
Whatever course is 10 be pursued can
only be pronounced the best course
after events have proved it so.
Could the leaders of Europe have
fcreseta the uauuerable horrors of
this war they would never have let
srch a trifle as the assassination of
the Austrian Crown Prince lead to
anything other than the legal trial of
somebody or ther for murder. A great
war was expected but not of the mag
nitude and duration of the struggle
that has occurred. And so it may !>e
that historians looking back to the
last month of 1916 will say that had
the allies been able lo foresee the re
sults of their dicision they never
would have done whatever it is they
ere about to do.
WAR WILL LASJ
FOR TWO YEARS
WASHINGTON—That the war in
Europe will last well into 191s. and
possibly longer, in his opinion, is the
assertion of John Eauett, director
of the general Pan-American Union,
who has just returnej home from a
visit to Europe. He issued a state
ment to that effect when interviewed
by local newspaper men upon the
results of h.s trip.
Mr. Barrett says that his opinion Is
based on statem r.ts made to him by
British ar.d French officials and busi
ness men. The majority of them, he
says, concurred in the opinion thai
the war will probably last for two
more year3 at the latest. The reason,
says Mr. Barrett, is that the re
sources of the Germans will last ut
least two years and possibly longer.
