(From address by Miss Anna 4. Cor don, president of the National W. C. T. U.. before the senate Judiciary subcom- mittee, May 1)
 One of the speakers at the hearing on April 25 stated that all Germans are drinkers. We are sorry our Ger man friends do not know that many hundreds of German women in this country are members of the Woman's S Christian Temperance union, and in Germany we have a splendid following of thousands of total abstainers, band ed together in national society of ab- staining women of Germany affiliated with the Worlds Woman's Christian Temperance union. The white-ribbon- dent the great-grandniece of the gal lant Gen. von Butcher, who led the allied forces with Wellington in the famous battle of Waterloo
 We are surprised that our German friends did not allude to the most con- spicuOus figure in the fatherland. Elm peOr Wilhelm, whose good advice to the naval cadets to let alcohol alone has everywhere been noted and com mended. Evidently the kaiser believes as we do, that the naval defenders of great country must be total abstain CTS if they are to reach the necessary degree of efficiency in service.
 The gentleman also asserted that Von Moltke was a thinker. We know that he was total abstainer. Von Moltke said, Beer is far more danger ous to Germany than all the armies of France" Our German friends Germany's famous chemist and sci enlist, Liebig, many years ago de. clared There Is more nourishment in the amount of flour that can be held on the blade of a knife than there is in quart of the best Bavarian beer v
 All Germans do not agree with the speaker that beer should not be classed with alcoholic liquors. Tt is just this precious beer" writes pr. Max Gruber, president of the Royal Institute of Hygiene at Munich, which lowers the intellectual capacity and willpower of thousands and thou sands of people and makes them old before their time, ruins stomach, liver, heart, and brain; brings them into the poorhouse and prison, hospital and asylum, and early puts them under the earth"

LOSS TO THE NATION?

GoSS V iNS\ tiSN'
 The following statement Is taken from the report of the Massachusetts commission on drunkenness: The greatest economic loss to the state lies in the likeness of capable men. Nineteen out of every twenty men i'm prisoned for drunkenness in Massachu- setts last year were of American or British birth, unhandicapped in their occupation by difficulties with our Ian guage. Four out of every five men so imprisoned were between seventeen and fifty years of age, and therefor. at the very period of life when indus trial output should be largest These men. at the prime of life, lost over 300,000 working days from imprison~ ment alone last year and probably an equal amount of time was lost in hunt Ing for work after release from prison. That efficiency in work Is reduced through alcoholism Is unprecedented It Is impossible to calculate the com tinuous loss which it involves"

It is perfect work ing model, and if a track was supplied, sufficient steam could be raised in it to demonstrate quite a pulling power.

 In the great war at the be- ginning of the last century the public was asked to subscribe, not merely for relief funds, but for the actual raising of forces. And by no means everybody sub- scribed even for that.

NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
Detroit Free Press


 The mental condition of the Austrian Government seems to be pretty well defined by the readiness with which it has agreed to pay the Italian Govern ment an indemnity for the in- jury it's floating mines have done to ships, also by it's quickness in assuring the complaining gov ernment that efforts will be made to pick up and remove menaces to navigation in the Adriatic sea.
 This haste to conciliate has little in common with the atti- tude of the Vienna of six weeks or two months ago, when it was intent only on devastating Ser via, and, confident in the back ing of Germany, seemed willing to oppose it's armies to all com CTS. The rulers of the dual mon- archy have seen a light. They have witnessed the invasion of their territories by upstart Ser vians and Montenegrins; they have been obliged to stand by while their armies have fled hel- ter-skelter before the Russians i; they have found that Germany has all it can do to take care of itself without bothering about their troubles. Their empire seems to be crumbling, and they want no new trouble with a strong nation, fully armed and eager for battle. Austria-Hun- gary today stands in the attitude of a nation that has had about all the fight it wants.

THE PRESIDENTS ANSWER

Pins, it is said, have saved countless thousands of lives by not being swallowed. By a sim liar process of inverted reason ing we may affirm that our repu- tation for justice, impartially and wisdom has been conserved by the innumerable blunders which the President did not com init in his reply to the German and Belgian representations con- corning atrocities. Pitfalls yawned on every side. There was the obvious temptation to address the German emperor a homily on the advantages of peace; time might have been gained by asking for a detailed presentation of the evidence; MT Wilson might have given offense to both sides by inquiring how he could be expected to make up his mind when the testimony was so conflicting.
 He did nothing of the sort. To the German emperor and to the Belgian committee the President gave an answer that is faultless in it's language and in it's sub- stance. It would be unwise, it would be premature, he says, for any one government "to form or express final judgment" and ''it would even be inconsistent with the neutral position of any nation, which like this, has no part in the contest" Very ap- propriately he reminds the en- peror that "the nations of the world have, fortunately, by agreement, made a plan for such a reckoning and settlement" The Hague Tribunal can hear and determine causes of this na- ture, and the opinion of mankind ''the final arbiter in all such mat ters', will supply whatever is lacking in any decision that may be rendered at The Hague. Such a reply to the protests made can not fail, as the President says, to commend itself to the con- plaints "as true expression of sincere neutrality"
 When war is over a day of ac- counting shall come, and the President takes it for granted that "the nations of Europe will assemble to determine a settle ment." That is an assurance to the Amreican people and a re- hinder to the powers now at war that the tradition and the prac- tice which we have observed since the founding of this repub- lie still control our actions. With the political concerns of the Flu ropean nations, with their agree ments and their disagreements, we do not concern ourselves. We are deeply pained when they make war, we rejoice when they make peace. The terms of peace are their own affair, not ours. It is a source of great comfort and satisfaction to feel that in such time as this we have Presi- dent who knows so well how to do and say the right thing.-The New York Times Qnd.)

JUST A GLEAM OF HOPE
Chicago Evening Pos

CnlcagO Evening POSt
 'Tll do it if you will" seems to be the status of the negotiations between Venustiano Carranza and Francisco Villa in Mexico.
 Villa won't fight if Carranza will withdraw from control. Car ranza won't fight if his army chiefs tell him not to do so, and at the same time compel the withdrawal of Villa from con- mand of the northern army.
 Apparently, both are jockey ing for the future mastery of Mexico.
 We see no compromise in sight but the mere fact that Carranza and Villa are negotiating instead of fighting gives a gleam of hope.

THERE are umors that former Senator
Watson is not averse to another term IN
the United States Senate and that he
means to make an open light for Senator
Chilton's seat, Notwithstanding that they
were such close allies when they were
first elected. II is needless to say that il
Senator Watson and Senator Chiffon are
in opposition that il will be battle royal.
While Senator Chiffon has the advantage
OF being in power and has the influence
and prestige that the senatorShip gives
him, It is fact that these very advantages
are source OF weakness in reality. II is
charged-we do not assume to say wheth-
er Justly or unjustly-that Senator Chiffon
is dispensing patronage in West Virginia
in rather narrow circle. They say that
no one who has not been pronounced
Chiffon man can get look-in-that he
recognizes no Democratic excellence ex-
cept il has the Chiffon brand on it-that
he is paying Chiffon political debts with
favors that belong to the party. 1t is
noble quality in Senator Chiffon, or any
other man, to stand by his friends, and
we commend him for it. But we submit
that party policies should not be subor-
dinated to personal politics, and the
Senator will serve his party beSt-and in
the long run himself also-by making a
fair distribution Of the plums.
We appreciate the difficulties OF the
Senator in being the dispenser OF patron
age in this State, but we suggest that he
add to his generosity and friendship great
wisdom. Senator Watson will get him
il he doesn't watch out
