extended to special interests all sorts of favors in the way of government controlled transportation rates and the like. Their aim has been not open competition such as the Eng. fish have offered, but exclusive trade so far as they have been able to obtain or enforce it. And they are so obsessed by their own ideal that they seem unable to understand that another nation, particularly a rival nation, can have a different one.
 We are far from contending that British foreign policy has always been unselfsh or free from mean mo- tives. History contradicts any such assumption. But we are persuaded that in the matter of commerce it. has more and more nearly approach ed the highest level of fairness, self dependence, and faith in the final ef ficacy of freedom and equality. It will be a great blessing to the world, i+ will immensely strengthen the chances of general and lasting peace if, at the close of this war, the spirit that has animated the English policy of commerce can be made to pre- vail.-New York Times.

SPEECH AND THE CHIN.
Maybe at Ono Time tho Tongue Proved
 Miqhter Than the Teeth.

Maybe at Ono Time tho Tongue Proved
 Mightier Than the Teeth.
 In man the chin seems to project more and more as he progresses to- ward his modern civilized condition. This must imply that immediately the huge lower canines degenerated the part took on some other function of vital importance to the race and that the need has increased with his intel Iectual and social advancement
 My theory. then. is that the chin is essentially part of the mechanism of articulate speech.
 It is tempting to theorize little fur ther and to suggest that the human chin perhaps bears testimony to pre- historic change from carnal weapons to others which. if not exactly spirit ual. were such as appealed to the part of us where spiritual forces work, for apparently long ago before the pen proved mightier than the sword the tongue proved mightier than the teeth.
 If one could only prove this one might show that even before the gla' cial epoch parliamentary institutions (using the terms in its widest sense| began to take the place of lethal weap- ons in settling disagreements and that the substitution of arbitration for war is not merely a doctrine of latter day moralists. but is part of the ordered march of cosmic progress as inevitable as the other evolutionary changes which have brought us up from among the brutes.

15O FRENCH SOLDIERS
 HIDE AMONG GERMANS

PARIS-So far as known, a party of 150 French soldiers who failed 10 hear the order to retreat during the fighting in the forests of Belgian Lux emburg as far back as Aug. 23 are still roaming about from one hiding place to another in the woods, resist ing the enemy. This surpasses the record of the Twelfth company of the 10th French infantry, which re- gently passed fifty-eight days within the enemy's lines.
 The party has now been cut off from the French lines for nearly four months. It is a motley force made up of stragglers who, instead of sur rendering when they found the return to their lines blocked by the Ger mans, escaped to the woods and lived off the country as best they could, picking up ammunition from the bat tlefields at night Aided in this by women and children, it is said they got together 17,0O0 cartridges, which they deposited in various caverns for safety. For shelter they built huts and dug trenches, from which they frequently emerged to harass the Germans.
 The latter finally decided to beat the entire forest country of about E. 500 acres. Columns of 1000 men took part in the hunt, but were unable to discover the hiding place of the stragglers. Despairing of succeeding by any other means, they resorted to persuasion and posted the follow ing notice in the villages in the south of Namur and Luxemburg:
 French soldiers: We know where you are and the strength of your force. In your interest 1t will oe better that you surrender. and we promise in that case that you shall be accorded the honors of war. You must know, however, that you ex- pose the population of the country to reprisals. We have forbidden all farmers, all millers, and all peasants to furnish you with provisions and in case of infraction they will be shot,"
 The following morning another mo- tice was posted in Beaurain. signed by the officer commanding the French detachment: ...... Since you know so well where we are come and take us."
 The Germans have not yet reported taking them, however. and they are supposed to be still rambling fro n 1 forest to forest between Givet and Bastogne.

Six Killed By Aviators.

LONDON, Jan. 12.-In spite of ex- plosives dropped upon Dunkirk by the German aviators last Sunday when the raid upon England was attempt ed only six persons were killed and several score injured. The small loss of life is due to the fact that many of the people have fled south to avoid the danger from bombs.
 No General Eng- cement Until Spring
 In spite of the oft-repeated state ment in the press that the Anglo French war offices were ready to launch the general engagement all along the line in Belgium and north. ern France no such plan is under ad- visement. The general offensive for. ward movement will not take place until spring unless the situation in Russia should require it to save Rus sia from defeat. Were 1t not for the possibility that this may be necessary y Lord Kitchener would keep most ot | the new British army in England, but as 1t may be necessary to attack the German line to relieve the pressure on the army commanded by Grand Duke Nicholas the troops are being sent to reserve camps in France.
 Months Needed To Prepare.
 Four months is needed to prepare the recruits, gather sufficient sup plies and have everything in readi ness for an effective blow at the Germans. who are in strongly forti fled positions which must be taker at terrible cost of life.

BERLIN, Jan. 12.-Reinforcements have been sent to the Germans hold ing the positions at Steinbach, in AL sace, where the French have taken an advanced position. The assaults at Cernay continue and it is report ed that the German forces have made remarkable progress against the Allies.
 French Advanced Too Soon.
 The French advance into Alsace was premature, as the Allies dare not use the recruits and new troops against the regular German army and in consequence while greatly s,l- perior in numbers the morale of the enemy is inferior to that of the Ger man soldiers and the French have failed to hold the positions taken and are slowly falling back towards the border.

It may be necessary for the Galicia campaign to be stopped again and more troops brought to Warsaw for the protection of that city.

Contradiots Our Neutrality Professions


AS Il passed the senate. the immigration bill.
with the lteracy test applying to the people OF
all nations except Belgium, squarely contradicts
our national professions OF neutrality. An ex-
ception In behalf OF one combatant Is as clear
cut discrimination as Il would be for our gov
eminent to come out openly and express sym
pathy on one side or the other. II we are TO
maintain our neutral attitude as we should
then congress will have to sustain the presi-
dents veto. which the bill in its present form
is sure to invite. so far as that is concerned
the president has declared his intention Of veto
ing the bill because of the lteracy test not to
speak OF exceptions. Adding the exemption pro
yiso as to Belgium would seem to be simply
heaping on another objection
The overwhelming majority by which the
bin passed the senate naturally would suggest
sufficient majority in that branch to repass
the measure over a veto, but that does not
necessarily follow. Senators often vote for
bill in the first place and then vote TO sustain a
veto. IL viii be interesting to see whether 1t
will be done in this instance. Should the veto
be overridden. then Il would mean widening
of the breach between the president and some
OF his partys leaders in congress- particularly
in the senate. II is worthy Of note however that
