King Gambrinus.

The committee on agriculture has
recommended to the Senate that neither
whisky nor beer be manufactured in
America during the war. 1t brackets
the two articles as evils, and urges that
both be forbidden. The vote was to z
so close that the fight for beer will
be renewed in the Senate, and waged
there with warmth.
King Gambrinus has many subjects.
All are loyal. All are raHying to his
support in this day Of his peril. What
ever becomes of other crowns, they
want his saved. It is so interesting a
fight it ought to be conducted in the
open, as it now must be.
The proposition that the case Of his
majesty be left to the President lacks
merit. Let Congress decide it. The
President already has his hands full.
Moreover, frank discussion in the Sen
ate, with the vote to follow, will re-
veal to the country what the country is
well entitled to know-where every
senator stands on a question of SO
much moment.
There is talk of filibuster. Well,
let that come if his majesty so DEGREES
If it does come We shall see proved
again what has so often been proved,
that it makes all the difference in the
world whose OK is gored. A man may
favor eloture at one time and abhor it
at another.
But, cloture or no cloture, the Senate
should, after debate long or short, de-
eide the matter, leaving nothing to the
President but the duty Of executing the
law. The House has spoken, and the
Senate committee on agriculture has
indorsed the House. Now what says
the Senatei
There remains, of course, the ques-
tion of revenue. The Senate finance
committee in reshaping the House reve-
nue. measure has not yet eliminated the
House provision for heavy taxes on the
drink traffic. In effect, the House re-
versed itself, for after voting favor
ably on those taxes it voted to abolish
their sources. The country cannot eat
its cake and have it. If it prohibits
the manufacture Of an article It can
net, of course, collect taxes from it.
Some new taxation or an additional bond
issue must supply the lost revenue.
The President should not be drawn
in at this time. His time is later; and
when it comes he will doubtless be
ready and willing to meet his obliga-
ton: as an executive.

Germany's Enemies and Honor.

German coeksureness-or is it merely
vhistling in the graveyards-seems to
rise higher with every fresh addition to
the forces arrayed against Teuton mill
tarism. The latest manifestation of this
spirit is afforded by an article in the
semi-oficial North German Gazette by
Gen. Won Blume, who says:
with head erect and a gaze full of
contempt we come to a consideration of
the nations which since the beginning of
the year have joined our enemies. the
United States in the forefront of them.
With our three allies we have now to
guard ourselves against thirteen entire
ly hostile and nine half hostile states.
composing the greatest part of the
earth's inhabitants. The more enemies
the more honor"
1t does not seem to occur to Gen. Won
Blume and other heralds of German VIC
tory that there might be possibly some
thing significant of dishonor in the fact
that nation after nation has Joined the
great alliance against Germany and her
colleagues in this war. Probably to the
Teuton mind there is nothing shameful
IN the spectacle of practically all civili-
kation united against the force that has
been indicted for barbarism.

At the Front.

A deduction drawn yesterday by Inc
Star from an inquiry in the house of
commons to the effect that American
troops had actually reached France was
quickly proved correct. The news of
the arrival of the second contingent
thus indicating the prior arrival of
other troops-eame in time for yester-
days edition. and thrilled the people.
France receives our soldiers with
emotion and enthusiasm. They are vel
coined the more warmly because it is
not denied that they are greatly needed
to aid in resisting the desperate Ger
man thrusts to regain lost ground and
to give the necessary new power to turn
the tide of battle and force the in
vaders back to and into their own land.
American enthusiasm is aroused
chiefly by the fact that this great OPP
Grafton of transporting thousands of
men across the Atlantic. infested, as it
is. by submarines, has been accomplish
ed speedily and safely There is rea-
son for pride in this achievement. Only
few weeks ago the United States was
ct peace. Today it has placed an army
in France. an army of seasoned men,
thoroughly equipped and ready in point
of physical fitness to take place in the
firing line today should that be required
or advisable.
Necessary secrecy surrounds the mode
of transport, but it is known that the
troops went on several ships and that
they were conveyed across the ocean.
1t is not known how long the passage
required, but the intimation is. given
that good time was made. Nor is any
suggestion conveyed Of how many
troops are now in France. The fact
suifices that in an almost incredibly
short time the United States has organ
lied, equipped, transported and estab-
lished on the continent the nucleus of
an army which may grow to millions and
which cannot fail to have a determin-
ing effect in the war.
Americas debt to France incurred in
the revolution is now being repaid
France recognizes the reciprocity by
Z scclaiming the troops from these shores

that these men will discharge their duty
faithfully in accordance with the high

Cheaper Bread Assured.

Hats OF to the American bakers!
They have recognized the national neces-
sity and have agreed to reduce prices.
Through newly effected organization
they have assured Food Controller
Hoover that they are prepared to cut
down the retail price Of the loaf of
standard size to cents and to main
tain that price BY certain economies and
changes, including the stoppage Of re-
turns Of unsoh loaves, cutting of of
fancy leaves and rolls, a reduction of
competition and the consequent over
lapping Of deliveries to q minimum.
They expect that the government will
insure cheaper wheat through the en-
barge measures which will prevent a
needless outflow Of grain from this coun-
Try.
An immense sum Of money will be
saved for the people by this means. Fig.
ures are obtainable that provo clearly

Our Soldiers as Linguists.

It is related that when the English
troops first went to France nearly three
years ago they had some difficulty IN
acquiring a sufficient familiarity with
the language to make known their wants
outside of military routine, but they
very quickly picked up patois that
enabled them to get along very COM
fortably with the people. Now the aver
age British Tommy" is quite proficient
in sort Of French, though his pronun-
citation Of the Gallo tongue is some
thing weird and wonderful. This brings
to mind the question Of how the Ameri-
can troops will assimilate on the Ian
guage question. That they will be as
facile in establishing verbal communica-
ton with the French people is assured.
The average young American is rather
quick about getting hold of new line
probably all be chattering volubly with
the French people within a month, es-
pecially as the French have themselves
in the last three years acquired much
additional English.
This suggests that it would be desirable
for every man who has the least idea of
going to France in the service to begin
now to study the rudiments of French. 1t
is true that there will be no actual ne
cessity for learning the language, for
the American forces will be kept intact
under their own officers, even as the
British have been kept as a unit under
British command. But familiarity with
the speech of the country will be useful
and will make the position Of the Ameri-
can soldier much more comfortable than
if he is shut off from communion with
the people. 1t is desirable, too, that
there should be the fullest and freest
intercourse between the soldiers and
the French people, to cement the friend
ship that the American entry into the
war has so greatly strengthened.
