PRESIDENT WILSON

Fortunately. says the New York
Hearld. I'VE have at the head of the
government at this critical time a
man in whose calmness and judge
ment We have as great confidence as
we have in his patriotism"
"Calmness and judgement" Great
words, expressing great qualities. In
the terrible storm OF war has burst
over Europe Americans have new rea-
son to admire the sense and sanity
of their own chief magistrate.
In the light of the worldwide cat
astrophe Of the last ten days the
most blatant jingo in the United Sta
tes would not exchange Woodrow
Wilson for any European statesman
and the ashamed of their country
have all been silenced by events.
1t is very nice to prattle about "a
vigorous foreign policy" but con-
science and sincerity and integrity
have their places in government de-
spite the Metternich legends that still
control European chancellories. There
was plenty of vigorous foreign policy
in Berlin, in Vienna and st. Peters,
, burg there was none of the good faitn
, and common honesty that have shone
through the diplomacy of Washington
| In consequence all OF Europe is di-
| rectIy or indirectly at war, and it is
/ only in he United States that the
flame Of civilization burns steadily
and brightly.
! More than maps will be changed
4 by this conflict, and We ourselves will
| be affected by 1t in respects that are
neither financial nor commercial. New
/ standards of statesmanship will be es-
! tabllshed in this country as the Amer
/ lean people contemplate the terrible
results Of personal government and
/ imperiallstic ambitions abroad.
To the historian Of so years hence
the fact that Woodrow Wilson was
/ President In this crisis may seem no
less proyidential than the fact that
Abraham Lincoln was President when
| the very life OF the Union was hang
ing in the balance.-St. Louis Post

and SOLDERING both to US Americans

plan of war may be laid for long
period and carried out in every part
The first collision with the enemy
changes the situation entirely"
In the light Of recent events that
declaration is strikingly fulfilled
Seemingly the Germans hoped to
break into France via Belgium with
comparative ease. The stubborn re-
sistance Of the Belgians has altered
the whole face Of the situation if the
biased reports received in this country
mean anything Belgium has blocked
the kaiser's path and given the
Frenchmen time to prepare for the
invader.
The difficulty about madein-ad-
vance military strategy is that the
strategists cannot foretell just what
the enemy will be doing while the
problem is being worked out AS the
Germans have realized this fact for
many years, judging from the Won
Moltke writings, it is possible they
are not as badly discomfitted as one
would think and may have something
Just as good" up their sleeve.
