One of the greatest blessings a

to tell the tale. "Thermopylae had its
messenger, but the Alamo had none!"
exclaimed Benton, and so it is likely
to be with the Roosevelt army.
We cannot agree. however, with
those harsh and unsympathetic cri-
tics who accuse Mr.. Roosevelt of hav-
ing deliberately deceived the country
as to the strength of his famous divi-
sion which held up the Army bill in
Congress for nearly three weeks. Mr..
Roosevelt has a fervant and boyish
Imagination. He is capable of believ-
ing anything he wants to believe, and
no doubt he convincded himself that
he had 10000 men ready to start
for France and take their place on
the firing line.
The fact that these men existed
only on paper is irrevelant, immater-
ial and unimportant. Mr.. Roosevelt's
mind can instantly transform paper
soldier into flesh and blood soldier,
eauip him for war and hustle him
into the trenches before the breath
less reporters for whom he had tele-
phoned can reach his hotel.
War is always depressing bust
ness. and if the Roosevelt army has
contributed anything to the gayety
of the Nation, let us be gratful. for
there will be gloom enough when the
real troops reach the front and the
real casualties begin.

AFTER-WAR PEACE LEAGUE

No temporary adjustment of con-
1iicting interests at the end of the

indifinite date the renewal of whole
sale slaughter can be worth fraction
oil the price already paid. How strong
~ the idea. put forward by Presi
dent Wilson, OF forming a union Of
free nations for the preservation u
permanent peace has taken root was
shown at a meeting OF the League Of
Nations Society in London.
1t was not a combination of powers
Joined together for the purpose of
hiding in subjugation any one par
ticular nation, that Gen. SHUTS OF
South Africa or the Archbishop of
Canterbury forsaw as the rational
solution. but the policing OF the fu-
ture by league OF nation open to all.
Lord Buckmaster explicitly declared
that such a league must fail if Ger
many were not admitted to it, be-
cause it would be nothing but a
league against Germany. I'VE have
got to separate the German rulers
from the German empire" he said.
I'VE must destroy the one and sup
port the other. If that is done, ! be-
!ieve the future will be safe
1t may be too much to hope that
when peace is restored Their will
never be war again. The passions
that have been aroused will be slow
20 subside But after the horrors OF
the last three years and the horrors
still to come, common self-interest
among the people of Europe and this
country must compel them to rea-
lie that i'll lasting peace lies their
only salvation under whatever gov
eminent they live.
