4 SPECKLED PERSPECTIVE.

The man who Is trying to keep up
with the developments Of, the war in
Europe is apt to develop a crick in
his neck You have to look so many
| different ways and there Is little or
| no coordination In the prospect.
| There is no reason TO doubt that Ger
many's position IL daily getting
nearer the untcnable point, but vet
the day OF decision seems very far
away. Those careless street corner
strategists who would have the war
ended In six months or a year are
talking TO hear their own voices They
do not believe their own words I'm
less some unexpected or spectacular
upon the scene of action, there is
every reason to believe the war will
continue for two or three years yet
Crmany will only talk peace on two
conditions--one that she hold the
handle of the Jug, and the other that
she be thoroly and decislvely licked
The first part we are not going to
permit, and the last part is n mans
size job.
Russia is still provokinGly incor-
riGlble Sooner or later we expect
her TO be heard from In massive
tones. but the wait Is long and
drcary. Argentina has withdrawn
herself from the American en-
tente by accepting the apology and
promises of Germany. She may get
fooled as badly over those German
promises as has been her Uncle Sam.
But her relapse into neutrality spoils
the concert OF the western hemi-
sphere against the relic OF the dark
ages The British and French on the
western front are slowly but surely
eating away the ground from under
the German army, and there is moth
ing TO complain OF here. But Italy
| furnishes the brightest spot In the
whole perspective, for her recent ad-
vances upon Trieste are calculated 10
give the Austro- Hungarian anomaly
"A cold chill and to make her wish
she could pull loose from the kaiser :
Strip while the pulling is good.
AS the one power which. tho in
spired and guided 10y the influence
OF Berlin. actually began this worlt
| war, there will be few to mourn II
she falls an easy prey TO her enc.
mics now while the kaiser has his
hands full In taking care OF himself
There is only one nation that de.
serves more contempt at the hands OF
an indignant world, and that Is
Turkey, and we hope her days are
few.

II Is Not an Army We Must
shape and Train for Man; 1t is a
STANDARDIZATION Wilson.
Ambulance Service

S<TNlce.
America has already aided the
French In the service of the Ameri-
can ambulance, which has been op-
Grating hospitals and field ambu-
lances since the beginning OF the
war At the present time a large
ambulance corps is being organized
as part Of the national army. and
this corps will go TO France for serv-
Ice with the French as soon as its
personnel is enlisted and trained
They Will be under the command Of
General Pershing when on French
soil The organization of this ambu-
lance service is in charge OF Col. JEFF
ferson II. Kean. The equipment Of
TINS ambulance corps vii consist Of
1000 ambulances, 100 two-ton trucks.
100 three 'fourths-ton trucks, 100
light touring cars, and 100 motor
cycles The personnel of each sec
ton Will consist of ! sergeant (first
class, l corporal, ordAlies, 2
clerks, ! chief mechanic, 2 mechan-
les, cook, l assistant and "a motor
drivers. Five sections will be placed
under captain, and 20 sections will
be commanded by major About
half the number will be recruited
from college men.
lte-Education and Rehabilitation
A phase of medical work which
has received great attention from the
allies is that having to do with the
re-education and rehabilitation of
men who may be maimed and Grip
pied In the war. This problem we,
too. must face, for, whether or not
we shall return men from the front
to America except when permanently
disabled, we know now that we shall
need in this country many hospitals
TO care for those chronically incapaci-
tated and those whose injury robs
them of their former usefulness and
who must be re-educated as well as
rehabilitated Medical care and
teaching must combine to rebuild
some of our returned forces into
useful citizenship. Doctor Amar. one
Of the most noted French authori-
ties, has said The time has come
for organizing the work Of the
wounded in such a manner that each
man may take his true place in the
social machine and contribute ac-
cording TO his ability" At the end
of the war we do not want those who
have fought and have been perma-
nenuy injured to feel that they are
merely onlookers in our national life.
This work of restoration will be con-
siderable. The physicians studying
the question have found that of the
whole number of crippled men at
least so per cent, and probably more,
can De Te-euucdteu OF lTdlneu 10 new
occupations If their physical defects
are given immediate treatment after
they have left the army hospital and
their training is given the proper at
tention. From 70 to so per cent of
the wounded returned to Canada
have needed reconstruction work.
The allied nations have been giving
much attention during the latter pc
riod OF the war to find proper occu-
pations for the blinded and those
who have lost an arm or a leg. Fur
thermore, much study has been
given to the rehabilitation of men

THE POPE Is ANSWERED..

II Is not sufficient TO say that the
presidents answer TO the pope'B
peace proposal is an excellent docu-
ment-it Is more than that-it de-
serves the word splendid. No more
forcible. courteous and yet easily un-
derstood pronouncement could be
imagined. At the game time 1t states
In plain words the American attitude.
the determination that was born after
long deliberation and after suffering
unnumbered indignities without re-
sentiment Not only is IL n good
American statement. but our allies
can do no better than TO frame their
replies after the same fashion, and
there is every reason to believe that
they VIII do so. To make Il long
story short, Presiodnt Wilson has
spoken bravcly and well for the
whole civilized world and II there Is
any more effort TO agtate peace II
Will have to be on the lines he has
laid down.
The keynote Of Mr. Wilson'S rejec-
tion OF the papal note is the plain
statement that neither the United
states nor any other humane country
can any more accept at its face value
any promises or protestatlons of the
German government. They have
broken too many promises and dis
carded too many scraps Of paper
for any assurance they may see III to
make or have any credence with any
other nation. Nobody believes they
have any conception OF morals other
than what concerns the advancement
Of German plans and ideas. Any pro-
posal OF peace. therefore. or any
agreement looking toward a settle
ment OF the war, in order to get seri-
Gus attention from the world outside
OF Germany, must originate and be
indorsed by some power not con-
trolled by the present rulers OF Ger
many.
We trust the pope will be enabled
to see the force OF Mr.. Wilson's argu-
ment and the Justice OF Amerlca's x
position. He was right in looking TO
this country as the best hope Of those
who longed for the end of bloodshed
but he was wrong in thinking we
would trust for moment the power
which has so often broken faith with
us and has made Teutonic faith and
sincerity a byword among the ma
tions.

What do / know OF the worldi Oh much
That never "a college teaches
I've found some things by common touch
That seldom parsOn breaches.
] was crammed with facts when ! came from
school
And 1 talked OF lifes higher plan,
But was an educated fool
Regarding the ways Of man.
! was no better for being trained
That many a man unlcarned,
In the breast OF him whom then disdained
The same ambitions burned.
And gold or polish no difference made
The dul!ard or toicr fine
Loved the little ones that about him played
In the same way | loved mine.
The toiler ihot Of his wife as l.
And greyed for her sorrows too:
And ! came to know as the days went by
That the self-same cares he knew.
II sat all night by my baby's bed
with the great fear haunting me
And q heart rs heavy and cold as lead
Tho untutored, 30 did he
] thot suffered more pain than he
When little OF men / knew,
But AS years went by came TO tee
His body could suffer, too.
II l dreamed great things for that boy Of
mine
Tho never a chance he'd had
The dreams he treasured were just as fine
For his innocent little lad.
There were things knew that he didn t
know,
could do ~hA, he couldn't do,
Bat Out IN the world / had TO 20
Io lsara what is kept from view
ThEi uuder the skin where the heart abdes
Anl baot q the pomp and fame
Ans ht rLs, and CRIME and the worldly
We're moved ty = common aim.
