JUST HOW 1T ALL WILL END
A Host of Predictions to Take Effect When
the Great War Ends
To The Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: ! feel sure | can prophesy the condi-
ton of the European governments after the
war In Germany there will be liberal form
of government, because the Germans will
have lost the war and will argue that their
autocratic form of government has proved a
failure, so they will try another. But the
South German monarchies will depose the
Kaiser from being the head of the German
Empire and will give their allegiance TO En-
peror Charles of Austria, as Emperor Of Ger
many. The only reason the kings Of Bavaria,
etc, ever allowed Wilhelm 10 be their head
was because they thought the Prussian sys-
TEN meant success. Once that system fails,
they will throw it of. The King Of Saxony
will declare himself independent and the
Duke Of Cumberland will be made King Of
Hanover.
Poland will be united under Russian
grand duke as King of Poland, hereditary
title. Great Britain, which began the war
under a Liberal government, will become I'm
perial and Tory, for the British Empire has
realized that the easygoing and inefficient
ways Of the Liberals were the cause of the
empire being unprepared and at the mercy
Of her enemies. So they intend to organize
the empire under almost an autocratic gov
eminent
France will change TO a monarchy She is
Disguised with her radical and unpatriotic
politicians, and blames them for her UMPIRE
paredness at the beginning of the war. She
will elect Prince Victor Napoleon Bonaparte
as her Emperor, partly because the name
Bonaparte always typifes military success
TO the French and partly because his wife,
Princess Clementine, is Belgian, and France
feels she owes a great deal to Belgium. Also
they have a son to be heir to the throne.
The Greek King and Queen will be deposed
and sent into exile. Venizelos will become
the real ruler Of Greece, and Prince Peter,
the eight-year-old son of Prince George of
Greece and Princess Marie Bonaparte, will be
proclaimed King of Greece, with Venizelos az
his Regent
Serbia and Montenegro will become one
country, Serbia under Prince Alexander of
Serbia. Russia, which began the war as an
autocracy, will be more liberal, because, for
the first time in Russian history, the army
looks upon the people as its friend, and after
the war the army will be all powerful in Rus

What Proof?
Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: The Rev. James V. Chalmers says:
81 venture 10 assert that for any infraction
of the law in any prohibition state there are
ten violations in any license state" What
proof has he Of this assertion? The number
of prosecutions for violation of the excise
laws in the license states is a matter of
record. There are also records Of thousands
of criminal cases In such states as Maine and
Kansas arising out of their prohibitory laws.
But who can number the countless thou
sands of violations of those laws by illicit
dealers that go on constantly?
The United States Internal Revenue Bureau
records show that there are III Illegal liquor

The people in this world, we are told,
have respiratory organs only one inch in

ours. "The increase of oxygen produces
carbonic acid gas" it is explained, and is
therefore fatal TO organic life." But
these peculiar people with "gills in their
shoulders" are well adapted to the condi-
tons and "have practically solved the
problem of perfect health"
There is much other information in the
pamphlet, all of it equally useful and lucid.
It is quite equal to the average and rather
more positive than what spirits are COM

remembers how dissatisfied he was with
the spirits while he was here on earth.

In Loving Memory

from INC MtftpNuhtp JVH0 htl
A little old man came into the Office Of the
Chicago Charities and laid down $50, "to
help out some needy families" Then he told
them a story:
"Years ago, when all Of my folks were liv-
ing couldn't afford TO give presents. Things
are different now, but most of my folks have
gone. I went shopping, just as If my folks
were alive. picked out shawl for an aunt
Of mine She's dead and so didn't buy it,
but put down the amount Of money would
have spent. Then l went and got some things
for my dead brother and for my father and
mother and for few old friends Of mine
didn't really get them, you know, but priced
the things l thought they would like. When
added up all the money l would have spent
il came to almost $3.50 so l added little to
it, and here it is"
ful way Of showing a mans love for his dead
The things he had wanted TO do il was too
late to do now. He might, it is true, have
spent money on stone TO make more artificial
and melancholy the quiet hillside where "his
folks" rest. He found better way TO spend
his affection, TO remember in fancy those he
could no longer reach and then 70 see that
his loving memory of them went TO make 9TH
ers happier. He made his love for his dead a
power TO gladden. the living. He laid tribute
on grief and made it a blessing. II is not a
sad story; we need not pity him. But we
cannot help loving him.

sections will remain to a considerable ex-
tent as they now are; and after the con-
struction work is completed there will be
in prospect a park twenty acres larger
than the existing one-a park, it is reason
able TO assume, as useful, and possibly
even as beautiful, though not precisely the
same, as the present one.
All these phases of the problem the
members of the Board Of Estimate have
considered and must continue TO consider.
They must decide, after still further argu-
ment, whether a plan working great good
for the entire city has not sufficient merits
to justify its adoption, in spite Of its flaws
in the eyes Of the people of the Riverside
Drive section.

More News from the Spirits

No one who has dabbled in the world of
spirits is ignorant of the annoying habit
the discarnate have of evading pertinent
questions and, on the flimsiest of pretexts,
breaking off all communication at the very
moment when the most important informa-
ton appears to be imminent and inevitable.

inquirers, has published "a partial selection
of some revelations" in a pamphlet which
may be commended to the curious. 1t is

interest inasmuch as the ghostly narrator

from Missouri, and each was In the clothing
business, one in Chillieothe, the other in

Moses Alexander was clerk in a clothing
store in Chillcothe and afterward became
partner and then owner. He went TO Idaho
Cor his health, went into the clothing bust

Mayor of Boise and was such a good Mayor
that they elected him Governor two years
ago and reelected him last fall
Simon Bamberger had a clothing store in
Pleasant Hill. He went to Utah and became
millionaire railroad and mine owner. He
was elected Governor last fall by the Pro-
gressives and Democrats, who wanted an
honest Governor who would sign a prohibit

first Governor of Utah not a Mormon.
Both Of these men. beginning life in small
businesses, arose to riches and honor be-
cause their business and public life was
builded on honesty, integrity, cleanness Of

An Indiana Mystery

President Wilson has nominated as one
of the members of the commission to ad-
minister the Federal worhmens compen-
sation law one John J. Keegan, of In
dianapolis. Mr.. Keegan is not unknown
among the Democrats Of Indiana. He
served in that states Legislature, and had
what 1.-The indianapolis News terms a
remarkable career as a statesman" in
the office of Auditor of State. Later he
sought to become customs inspector IN
Porto Rico, but his entire ignorance of
Spanish interposed bar, so he turned TO
service Of himself and his party by taking
a lob with the Western Democratic head
quarters in the recent campaign. But
with all this career behind him Mr.. Kee-
gan remains a mystery. Senator Kern in
dorsed his appointment, but did not sug-
gest it, and no Representative from lndi-
ana is willing to admit that he is the APP
pointee's sponsor.
1t is TO be surmised that President
Wilson had some great and outstanding
knowledge of Mr.. Keegan's fitness for
this important Office which Indiana lacks.
1t must be so, otherwise the nomination
would not have been made. Obviously ne
is a deserving Democrat" quite as de-
serving as any whom Mr.. Bryan sought to
inject into the Federal service. Never
theless, there is bound to be curiosity in
other states than Indiana about his quail
fcations to handle the questions of social
justice which will come before him in de-
Gliding compensation cases. "Who let John
Keegan in?" plaintively queries "The
News" Who, indeed?

Up to the Men in the Guard
,ditor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Allow me to congratulate Corporal l.
A. Barrymore for his letter published In The
Tribune regarding the spread eagling Of Max
Kelerman.
Not only is it a shame, but a disgrace
to the National Guard to think IL should be
advertised in this manner. The whole trouble
is punishment is not enough in the Guard
and the men have no fear Ii all the men
acted in the manner of Max Kellerman and
had the protection he has we would have a
fine body Of men to depend on in time Of
need. Men in the Guard arc old enough TO
know right and wrong; then, when they do
wrong, let them suffer for IT,
/ enlisted in the Guard TO get q military
training, which / got, and am proud of il, for
came out with full honors, and my reason
for not serving now is that the Guard has
been made a laughing stock by men such
as Max Kellerman.
The Guard can't make an army of the
men unless the men make an army of the
Guard. NlNCENI GULL, Jr.

Where Does a Commuter Live?

This is not a puzzle or piece of impu-
dence. It is the grave query of the Gov
ernor of New Jersey and 1.-THE Brooklyn
Daily Eagle" And these two eminent au-
thorities disagree in their answer, the one
urging the commuter to vote in his home
town, the other conceiving him as having
but one real home, and that his office,
wherefrom he should by all means cast his
ballot. A genuine doubt is raised. So we
dismiss without discussion the jeer of the
cynic who would contend that the com
muter does not live at all-anywhere. Of
such existence as is his, where is the centre
and axis?
If the question were one simply of hours
passed the Office would, of course, win.
Eliminating the period of sleep, most of
commuters time is licked off at his work.
Second would probably come the 7;4S and
the 5:S2, to which he devotes something
like one-twelfth Of his mortal existence,
rain or shine, and including those delays
for which no railroad is responsible. Last
and least stand the occasional waking min
utes, mornings, evenings and nights, passed
in the bosom of his family. BY the time
clock 1.-THE Brooklyn Daily Eagle" is right,
and the commuters heart is where his
treasure is, taking as his treasure the
source of his income in dollars and cents.
But the Governor of New Jersey, who
NAV have been a commuter himself, knows
better You can read the truth in any
commuters eyes at any hour of his sojourn
within the city's limits. He is physically
present with us, but his heart is far away:
I'm but a stranger here
Heaven is my home.
No matter how busy he may be amass-
ing treasure or eating luncheon or even,
upon occasion, waiting over with business
friend for dinner and the theatre, he is
still a stranger. His true home is the
succeed jewel of Eastwood, forty-five min
utes distant on the fastest trains, where
he must be sure to put three shovels of
coal on the furnace and see the dog to bed
before himself retiring for the night.
Petty, indeed, is the sordid business of
money making by comparison. A COM
muter's heart is where his treasure is, yes.
But that treasure is something other than
an office building and bank account.
These are only the foundations, necessary,
but negligible when the real business Of
living is in issue. We blush for "The
Brooklyn Daily Eagle" and heartily APP
plaud the seeing Governor of the greatest
state.

Our Foreign Affairs

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Can any one tell me who this House
person is? Here is man who has taken
full charge Of the foreign affairs OF the
United States at one Of the most critical pc
RODS Of its history and evidently intends to
carry us to the support of Germany In the
firm belief that she will be victorious. It is
he who whispers the last words Of instruc-
ton into the cars of Ambassador Gerard as
he goes on board of his ship TO sail for his
post at Berlin There the earliest oppor-
tunity is seized 10 announce publicly that
never have the relations between the United
States and Germany been so cordial as at the
present moment, when Belgium and Serbia
have been so successfully overrun, the Lusi-
tania and number Of other ships have been
so skilfully sunk with numbers of silly Amer
lean passengers on board, that stupid nurse
Edith Caven has been stood up against a
wall and shot full Of holes and fifteen mill
ions Of the Allies have been killed or wound
ed in a war brought on TO crafty the ambi-
lions Of the imperial House OF Hohenzollern.
This is the stand that the Wilson Admin
istraton takes through its authorized repre-
sentatives at the most critical period OF the
war. and expects that such nations as Eng
land, France Russia and Italy will bow their
heads in humble submission. What is going
to happen to this country if Woodrow Wilson
and Colonel House have made bad guess
and Germany loses out, after all?
At any rate, let as have no illusions re-
garding the situation. This country has been
committed and must take the consequences.
