Night Watches.

To write English humor SO that
Americans can see and appreciate
it is a task that verges almost on
the impossible. Jerome X. Jerome
does it to some extent, however,
and SO does w. w. Jacobs, who now
comes forth with a new collection
Of ten short stories under the gen.
eral heading of might Watches"
Mr.. Jacobs is the genial portray
er Of the old but hearty dock watch
man and his longshore friends. His
stories have caused laughs innum-
cradle in this country before: so
he scarcely needs any introduction.
His dialect is beyond the criticism
Of any but Cockney; his plots are
snappy; his situations are droll;
and he can pretty nearly guarantee
smoker to a paragraph.
Best of all, Mr.. Jacobs has the
wisdom to confine his literary
ventures to a circle where he is
sure of himself and Parker Butler
of the English longshoremen.

that of some of the nations en-
gagged in the great European strug-
gle. but that is defect not SO hard
to remedy. A few more subma-
rines and a little more attention
to aerial equipment will put US
on a par with any nation with
which we are likely to have trou-
BILE.
1t is highly improbable that we
shall fall afoul of any power OF
the first order for at least a decade
or two. Italy is the only first-class
power in the world that is not
depicting its resources of men
and money in the war. Even if all
the nations of the world were our
enemies we might be sure OF peace
for years to come None of them
would care to incur our hostility
while their last reserves are being
called out. And after the war is
over it will take all the combat
ants years to recover from the ter
rible drain of men and money.
Today we are at peace with all
the world. Our geographical po-
sition makes it easy for us to
maintain this state. We have no
boundary lines that can draw US
into war. We have no inherited
Quarrels. Our commercial inter-
ests do not run afoul of those of
any other great nation. There is
no reason why any of the nations
of the world should pick a fight
with the United States.
We need not be drawn into
war of aggression or conquest. We
have no need for an army of con-
quest. The fact that we do not
have one will make it easier for
US to keep out of trouble.
We do not need to spend all our
national revenues for national de-
tense when there is nothing to de-
fend ourselves against. There is
no reason for turning our country
into an armed camp. We are at
peace and about the only way
we could go to war would be to take
the initiative ourselves. The jim
goes have selected the time for
their agitation poorly.
University Missourian., 1914-12-15
A FITTING REWARD.

Prophets, it is said, generally
are without honor in their own
countries. Such has been the
case, too, with the ambassadors
of the United States to foreign
governments. They have been
sent out in the past shorn of pow
ers. shorn of dignity, shorn OF
official ambassadorial residences
-shorn, even of salaries big
enough to pay rent on the man
sions they secure to befit their
supposed Importance.
1t is gratifying, then, to observe
the honor and the reward bestowed
on Myron t. Herrick, retiring am
bassador to France. This Amer
lean gentleman did good and val
liant labor in the stressful first
days of the war-caring for strand
ed feIlow-countrymen, preserving
the neutrality of the United States
and handling the affairs of several
belligerent nations, temporarily
persona non grata at Paris.
As a result, he became beloved
of the people of France as well
of his own country. His depart
ure was an ovation. On shipboard,
he was decorated with the badge
of the Legion of Honor, the high
est reward for good work that the
French give. Arriving at New
York, he was greeted by the cheers
of a crowd.
This is unusual treatment for
an ambassador. Mr.. Herrick
surely could not have been led to
expect it. He was surprised, un-
doubtedly, and overcome.
It is merely an illustration, how
ever. that sometimes the good are
made happy and that people think
something even of United States
ambassadors.

"-" published by the

In the publication of the Savitar,
as in the case of every other activ-
ity which is supposed to be a stu
dent affair, the students should be
the active parties, and the students
alone. If the Savitar is published
by a combination of the faculty and
junior class, then let the faculty
do some of the work.
The case of the Savitar Is only
one instance of activities where
most of the student body is fooled.
by the faculty, into thinking that
something is being done by the stu
dents alone.
Why have a student government
or elect board from the members
of the junior class to publish a
book, supervised entirely by the
faculty. Why have a Student
Council and Student Senate? 1t is
one way Of making people think
they have something to do with

A NEW FORM OF JINGOISM.

The resolution that Represen-
tatives, asking for an investigation
of the army and navy and Of mill
tary and naval expenditures by
regular congressional committee
for that purpose, looks like anoth-
er manifestation of the jingoism
that is thriving today on the scare
reflected from the war in Europe.
Senator Lodges resolution in the
Senate is the same. The senator
is working hand in hand with Rep
resentative Gardner.
Some of the agitators have gone
so far as to recommend military
service for the United States.
Nearly all of them agree that our
standing army should be doubled
at least. They are practically
unanimous in declaring that we
would be an easy prey for any
frst-class power that saw fit to
attack us.
That part of the Presidents mes
sage that deals with the subject
of national defense is marked by
the Presidents usual freedom from
the influence of unwise agitation.
He admits that we are not able to
put a great army in the field on a
few days notice as the combat
ants In Europe we're able to do.
But he affirms that we are able to
defend ourselves against any at
tack that might come in the near
future.
The President is right. We are
not so terribly unprepared for a
foreign attack. Admiral Fletcher
has Just pronounced our navy Sec
ond only to that of Great Britain.
Our coast defenses he pronounces
almost impregnable. 1t is true
that our military and naval equip
