Washington, D. C., Feb. 9.-"Amer jeans who have spent vacation times wandering through the Alsation Vos- ges will remember the long forested slopes the velvet-green valley floors, the unexpected views through breaks in the pines on the mountain ShOul- ders, the quiet ways softly carpeted with pine needles, the spicy air filled with the aroma of eVergreens, and the perfectly-kept hills, mountains, and winding valleys as combining to form the cOziest, most intimate charm pos ScSseQ by any mountain country on ea1th,' says a primer issued today by the National Geographic society," which describes the Arcadia turned in fcrnO by a year and Q half of stub born mountain fighting
 This region was d paradise of peasant proprietors before the out break of the war, a green golden patchwork of little farms, some no larger than American city lots; and thrift, tidiness comfort. and security characterized it all. Splendid. hard surfaced, white roads followed the bends of the valleys, shaded through

TOO MANY COOKS.

All the campaign orators, of both 1 parties-Or are there still three i parties ?-are being turned loose upon
 us. From now on we are going to
 get it left and ght-'preparedness '' | It is bObbing up on all sides and 1 every time a partisan politician opens
 his mouth we get a new brand of | argument. In six months no man in ! the nation will be without his own . doctrine. The administration has a program, Congress has one, every committee in Congress has one, every ] stump orator knows just how the na- ! tion ought to proceed in a crisis that has not yet put in an appearance 1 With the exception of the admins trations plan which was formulated 1 by real military experts of the army 1 and navy and which may have been distorted some by the President as his enthusiasm grew on his western particularly at St. Louis,-it is a safe bet to wager that none of these professional wind dispensers know
 
 whereof they speak. For every ex pert on preparedness there are any where from ten thousand to million theorizers to offset him. Party poli- tics are cropping out in every little railroad station the land over, until the whole block system will be thrown out of order and public opinion short circuited. There are too many wires attached to the same pole, too many cooks in the kitchen.
 While every intelligent man in the nation realizes that we have been shilly-shalling along at a too easy gait, that the nations fences need re- pairing, by the same token every man with half an ounce of brains realizes there is no use of working ourselves into a frenzy nor of thrusting the en- tire country into a state of panic. Great heavens! One would think the end of the world was at hand.
 We must hold our horses. Com mon sense recognizes that our army is little bigger than the combined po- lice forces of several good sized Amer ican cities; that our navy is not ade- quately equipped, that because of the rapid strides made in modern warfare both these arms of the service must undergo complete overhauling and must be brought up to date. But this change cannot be brought about over night, nor will another admins tratiOn see the job finished, and by that time the European war may be over. And then even if the victor of 1 the colossal struggle abroad should ! make an attack on us, as many fore ! cast, we shall be ready to meet the enemy. Because whoever ventures ] across that wide eXpanse of Atlantic 1 will come not as a foe in the hey-dey | of it's power but as a weakened and battered military expedition hardly strong enough to make the journey. 1 Even the combined forces of Europe, granting such thing possible, would ! have hard time getting away with | anything if we make our preparations along cool and sensible lines. But if ! we let our hearts run away with our { heads and follow the numerous and divers limitations of the Pied Piper | roaming the land, we shall be like babes lost in the wood. It is time we got our feet on earth again and
 came down from the ctherial regions

When Henry D. Estabrook under takes free translation of Presid ent Wilson's language he sounds more like musical comedy comedian than a presidential possibility. Taking the perfectly plain, yet elegant phrase, we feel justified in preparing our selves to vindicate our right to inde- pendent and unmOlested action by making the force that is in us ready for assertion" he comforts it in this fashion: If anybody slaps us in the face we will deem ourselves justified in the slats.' All of which savers too much of the ringside.

of lrlshmen, Australians Canadians, Indians, and sturdy men from all of Great Britain'S colonies As the United States has not the distinction of being a possession of Great Britain, America is in no way obligated to fight under the flag of John Bull.

Comes the news from Nebraska, the native state of William Jennings (We had almost written "Chinnings'D Bryan that the Commoner may not be sent as a delegate to the national Democratic convention in St. Louis. And then on top of this we learn from today's despatches out of the Missouri city, where the committee on arrange ments is working, that "every effort will be made to keep the Nebraskan in the background if he does worm his way into the convention. They brand him as public nuisance to the party. Now that the Commoner is going down the hill, everybody wants to take a kick at him. Human nature all through, but who would have thought the Boy Orator of the Platte would ever suffer such fate?

When President Wilson in his St Louis speech declared that "the Amer ican Navy ought in my judgment, to be incomparably the greatest Navy in the WOrld,' he allowed the enthusiasm of the moment to carry him too far. If he meant the statement to be mere ly the theoretical expression of a con- fessedly unattainable ideal he may have been right. If he meant it to be the statement of practically feasible ahlpillon' u seems to us obvious that ne Was Wrong.-New York World.
