Press Comment Assumes That

Berlin. April THE historical i'm
rortance Of Dr.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
weg's speech, in which the Imperial
Chancellor for the first time referred
with any defniteness to the future OF
Belgium and other occupied countries
and in which he spoke guardedly OF the
possibility of giving up Belgium under
ADEQUATE guarantees, is generally APP
preciated throughout Germany. Dr.
Peter SPAIN. leader Of the Centre
party. who followed the Imperial
Chancellor. endeavored to expand the
latter's words into a declaration that
Belgium. whatever its formal status
after the war may be, must remain
politically, militarily and eeononi-
callv" in German hands.
For this Interpretation, however the
Chancellors words furnish no basis.
Friedrich Ebert, leader OF the So
cialists. who followed " SPAIN, imme-
diatelv uttered a protest against such
Interpretation. Although he upheld the
Government on questions involving for
eicn relations. Herr Ebert criticised Sc
yerely the conduct Of internal affairs
Herr Ebert said he welcomed the
enunciation by the Chancellor OF a
more definite peace programme, but de-
dared he had no expectation OF any

The New Beautitudes.

of the .beautitudes, according to

The text is by the Rev. John
Haynes Holmes, of the Church
of the Messiah, New York City,
and reads as follows:
Blessed are the proud in
spirit for theirs is the kingdom
of earth"
Blessed are they that mourn.
for they shall be pensioned. 3"
Blessed are the mighty, for
they shall inherit the earth. "
BLESSED are they that hunger
and thirst after preparedness,
for they shall be drilled. "
Blessed are the merciless, for
they shall obtain victory"
Blessed are the sure in heart,
for they shall steal God"
BLESSED are the war-makers,
for they shall be called the cham
pions of Cod"
Blessed are they that are

sake, for theirs is the kingdom

Homemade Philosophy.

Poor men "die," rich men and
kings pass away"
Success is getting there. tri-
umph is staying there.
Great men look small to the
grocer they stand off for year.
Hope and happiness Danish all
the diseases medicine fail to
cure.
The wrongs your neighbor does
to you stand out like sore fingers
before the eyes of the world.
God expects all adults of sound
mind to take care of themselves,
and without adding care to any
one else too.
That noiseless attachment to
guns would work immense ben
efits were it applied to certain

men is designated in the hats
they wear, there is no brain re-
quirements needed.

Opportunity or You.

Some people are always wait
ing for opportunities to take
them by the hand. 1t never
does, and it never will. Oppor-
tunity is ever present with US, it
is by our side, it dogs our steps,
it never leaves US. But it never
reaches out its hand. We must
do the reaching, the grasping the
improving. Don't sit still and
wait for opportunity to come to
you. Go out and hunt it, and
hunt till you find it. 1t is flirting
with you every day in the year,
every hour of the day. One of
your greatest opportunities lies
in what you may accomplish in
aid of your home town, for what
is good for the town, is even bet
ter for you. If you want your
town to do something for you
you should first do something for
the town. Opportunity believes
in that, and greets the one who
does it. Don't expect to receive
everything and give nothing.
Opportunity does not approve of
that, will not sanction it, will not
lend its aid and encouragement.
Only fools expect that, and fools
seldom step beyond the shadow
of their own foolishness. The
wise man makes his own oppor-
tunity, and that begets other and
greater opportunities, and they
breed success. Your future is
not up to opportunity-it is up to
you.

Did it Ever Occur to You?

Did you ever ride on a train
and when you put your head out

experience of getting good hot

fence, keep it to yourself.

What Next?

With Villa dead (?). his ban
dts punished, and our troops re-
turned, what next? There are
still Villaistas, more bandits, and
dangers along the border. There
will be probability of trouble
just as long as there are unset
tied conditions in Mexico. In
view of this fast can the United
States afford to withdraw its
forces from the border-can it
afford to be unrrepared? These
are the questions now to be an.
swered, and in such way as to
emphasize the impression our
troops have made in Mexico. A
Mexican paper says: THE Grin

saddle"
The United States has won
some respect from the Mexicans.
Itmight win more. 1t certainly
must not lose what it has gained,
though it be compelled to keep
every available man on the bor-
der. But the United States can
not now turn its punitive expe-
dition into an army of interven-
ton without stultifying itself in
the opinion of the whole CONT

cupation fail to realize this fact.
