NO ALLIANCE FOR AMERICA

In Norman Anges new book "The Worlds High. way" he shows the tallacy of the argument thst the United States could insure her safety by creatius army and navy sufficient make her "the strongest in the world" For it longer avails to be mere y the strongest power Nations fight not units but groups One power depend its strength matter how great that strength is because t is al ways possible for other nations combine against it in greater power as the allies combined against Germany War has become internationazed," and the only safety any crisis lies in international agreements for mutual defense.
 If therefore America intends to vindicate her rights perhaps even if she intends to rsafey on land-by military means she too. must do what even the powerful military states of the past have done enter into the game of military alliances"
 And yet as Mir Angen proceeds to explain in the next breath that method is of little to us. Because for purposes-the establishment and enforcement Of international and treaties-he alliances must be permanent and 'of the very few things that history with any certainty one is that these military alliances do outlsst the pressure warcondions No international settlement that has followed the great wars ever settled or endured"
 Eeven if the common enemy is destroyed" he never stays destroyed than a year or two. If the con quering of nations makes itself police keep the outlaw suppressed. the outlaw becomes the ally of of the policemen against the rest and the process must strat all again
 It's dscouraging prospect, any way you look at it And matter how far may go in enlargng our own defensive armament this reasoning drives us all the to maintain the wise principle of internationa relations laid down by George Washington Friendship for al but entangng alliances with none" Uncle San will continue to play the game alone

TAg Mosr rAANKFuL MArIoN

If there is a nation in the world that has for gratitude God at this time of thanksgiving it is the United States.
 The supreme blessing that instantly to every mind is the blessing of peace We have thus far es capped being drawn into the conflict that is making a graveyard of Europe And though the peril is not wholly past there is very little likelihood of being drawn into it hereafter Alone among the great powers it is privilege to continue working our national destiny without risking everything in devastating war And 1t is our privilege even to turn the ad vantage by deriving from it, as an onooker the lessons need to shape our course wisely for the future
 This Tn itself would be blessing enough even if our hnaunty from being 'bed white" were accompanied by the poverty into which nearly all the world has been plunged But to this must add benefits which. even in ordinary circumstances would be considered good reason for special gratitude
 Thanksgiving was established primarily as a national harvest home festival Now t is our pleasant privilege to celebrate the greatest heryes in our history of this or any other nation not only in volume but in value Our fields and orchards gardens. stIl the chief source of our wealth and comfort have been blessed as never before.
 Alcne with this overflowins agricultural wealth we are rejoicing today renewed industrial prosperity great and unexpected There is not blast furnace in ule country that is lighted There is scarcely fac tory of any sort whose wheels not turning. There is hardly railroad that is not revivng under the i'm pulse of a and compelling business activity. Mer- chants are once more making money. Capital again is earning dividends Workingmen have more employ men than they have had for years, al higher wages The war itself which is so huge calamity for most Of the world has stimulated proseprity
 There are darker spots in the picture, to be sure There is the menace that mpels to for our flu lure safety unwiingly and expense. There is the disheartening menace of division and dsloy aty among Americans. But these are but the sardows hat aemphasize the high lights and make our genuine blessings evident And nation that has met every crisis the past unfinchngy has faith to believe thai
 deal adequately with the evils of the present and the future.

THE DEATH PENALTY

On the same day that Joseph Hilstrom, the l. W. w.. was shot to death as convicted murderer in the Utah peniteutiary, William Zmmer convicted of murder in Baltimore was sentenced to serve day in jail for his crime
 These cases represent the extremes in our treatment of murderers And. absurd as it appears to punish man with only one days imprisonment for killing hu man being the Baltimore penalty represents phase Of American sentiment
 There were great differences of Joseph Hill srom was guilty of deliberate murder His record was considered bad and his prominence in W. W. ac- tivy from which Utah has suffered much, looked upon as ageravang his offense The evidence against him was crcumstantia but apparently conclusive There was nothing particularly horrifying in his being shot rather than hanged The Utah law allows choice shooting is probably the mercifu of the two methods
 William Zimmer the Baltimore murderer is a para Iytic 67 years old. The he killed was proprietor of a cheap lodging house zimmer while drunk, had an altercaion with him. and struck blow with his fist which resulted in the victims death The killing was in sense accidental and the prisoners physical condi uon helped to win him enency
 But there was one common element in these eases The rdiculousy trivial penalty imposed Zimmer wa The extreme manifestation of the American prejudice against capital punishment The prejudice ap oegred in the wave of protest which rolled in upon th lish authorities from an the country and in cuded an,spped for leuency the president of tn United States

HoTEL KEEPgRs MRATHY

PARIS.-French hotel proprietors have been very much worked up by recent publication of a list of eleven leading Parisian hotels that are still under the direction of German or Aus trians who had taken the precaution Co have themselves naturalzed before the war. and who thus escaped the se- questration of their property and oth- CT measures taken by the French gov ernment against subjects of countries at war with France. The owners of these hotels have acquired interests that cannot be justly interferred with but. what can be done. in the opinion of leading members of the principal hotel syndicate is, to develop more largely distinctively French hotels un- der French management, and with French employees.
 To accomplish this. greater eXten- sion is to be given to institutions or. ganized for the training of hotel em. ] ployees and an effort will be made to find capital sufficient to support such French hotel enterprises as are need ed in certain places to compete with l foreign establishments.

CATS AND DISEASE

New York is getting after its cats. New York City is especially exercised about them just now because of fatal Of anthrax supposed to be traceable eat girl bought cheap set of furs, and died few days from this dreadful disease She caught it, appar ly, from the of the fur collar with her baro chest The theory is that the cat from which the fur wa staken was afflicted with anthrax-as stray sometimes are-and that the imperfect treatment in- yoved in the manufacture of cheap furs faed to kill the germ.
 Another adduced is that Of a Brooklyn girl who reached down to pet stray cat on her ya to school and received sghtscratch which resulted in her death from rabies
 The National Association Of Audubon Societies is very active in a campaign against cats It argues that not only the feline tribe responsible for transmitting a great deal of tuberculosis rabies tetanus paralysis. scarlet fever, dphthena smallpox measles, whooping cough humps ringworm etc., it devastates the bird population and thus indirectly does damage to agr culture. There are 5OOOOOO song birds destroyed by New York every year, and 6OOOOOO in Mas sachusetts says the AudSbon society the number killed in the entire country amounts to many of millions.
 It s the stray of precarious living and uncertain habits that responsible for most of the diseasebea
