Every enlisted man in the military
and naval forces of the United States
who has wife and children de-
pendent on him is required to allot
for their support during the war at
least SIS a month, but not more
than half his pay. To these allot-
ments the Government adds month
ly allowances ranging from SIS for
one motherless child or SIS for
wife without children and an addi-
tional amount if there be children.
Allotments for a wife and children
are compulsory But if the enlisted
man wishes to make allotments for
a dependent brother, sister, parent,
or grandchild the Government will
add certain allowances thereto, de-
pending on the size of the family and
the amount, if any, already paid by
the Government to the enlisted

Wilhelm and Nap5ieon

1t is news of unus dal interest t. a,
the Berliner Zeitung gives to tine
world when it says that Emperor
Wilhelm has informed his Govern
ment that if the diplomats" at
Brest-Litovsk arrive at an agreement
"he will endeayor to assemble all
the sovereigns and regents of Eu-
rope in a peace conference, as was
done after the Napoleonic wars. !"
The announcement is dramatic, eV'.
en- sensational. An assembly OF the
"sovereigns and regents of Europe
to consider the conditions of peace,
103 years after the meeting OF the
Congress of Vienna, which took up
the question that had to be settled
after the Napoleonic wars, would
have and hold the attention of the
civilized world. We should almost
forget the fighting.
Emperor Wilhelm if he has in
mind the purpose attributed to him.
has overlooked one or two lrcum-
stances, trivial it may be, bG1A ardly
negligible. When the Congress-
Vienna began its multitudious labors
in 1914 Napoleon had abdicated and
had been packed off oElba. A very
fat and distresslngly gouty Bourbon
King had been brought home from
England and put upon the throne of
France The Allies had triumphed.
We recall these minor incidents of
history at that time, not to suggest
that the Napoleonic parallel must be
completed before a peace conference
of sovereigns and regents can COM
fortably be got together, but merely
n that until
certain things have happened, which
it is not necessary here to set forth
in detail, it may well be doubted
whether the sovereigns and regents
would not decline the Kaiser's invl-
tation on the familiar ground of pre-
vious engagements.
The Berlin paper credits the En-
peror with the declaration that "ev-
erybody wants peace" We are con-
vinced that is true, but on condl-
tions 1t is something to De assured
that the German Emperor wants
peace When he says that the fut-'
ure offers SO many great tasks that
all States must cooperate in them,
we are again reminded of Napoleon.
1t was after his 100 days stroll thru
Europe, when ne was entertained at
Waterloo and elsewhere. indeed, al
ter he had been securely put away
at ST. Helena, that Napoleon, thru
his secretary, Las Casas, thought 1t
well to take the world into his con-
fidence by revealing to it the scope
of his ambitions. He, too, had an
eye on the sovereigns and regents OF
Europe. 1t was his purpose to es-
tablish a European confederation,
bound together by unity of codes,
principles, opinions, feelings, and
interests" He, of course, was to be
overload of the federation, the sub
ordinate sovereigns were to recog-
nize his primacy. At one time he
had an idea that they should all have
palaces in Paris where he could keep
an eye on them.
