What Balfour Finds.

There IS no link OF logic between
them, perhaps; nevertheless the true
welcome which this rich Capital gave
the British foreign minister yesterday
with its promise of abundant fruit
in a new Anglo-American solidarity,
and in welding new war weapon
which will be rresistible-surely fur
nishes a strange, prophetic contrast
to that hunger-girt, blackly pessimis-
tic German metropolis which sees the
goad of desperation daily growing
worse, and the first runblings of the
crack of doom sounding over the
horizon.
Mr.. Balfour comes to America to
find a nation morally ready, but ma
terially unready, to aid in the crush
ing of the greatest conspiracy against
civilization that the world has known.
We are ready in money, beyond
doubt; and We will rapidly forge the
spear-head to thrust our mighty re-
sources with full effectiveness into
the fray. But long before that spear
head is forged, the Teutonic fate will
be sealed, although it Is fairly certain
that Kaiserism will not submit until
securely pinned and PROSTATE on its
back. The war may drag along for
many weary months, or even years,
yet.
Americans have drunk none of the
wine of tragedy in this war. To them
it does not mean widowed homes,
broken lives, desolated countrysides.
For this reason the British foreign
minister may detect a certain light
ness in our spirit-an absence of that
unspeakable bitterness and hate which
the German has engendered in the
peoples he has assailed. But this
should not deceive him. The Ameri-
can people have chosen their path and
will follow it through to the end, no
matter what that end may be; no
matter what sacrifice of life, of treas
ure, It involves. We will reach the
goal side by side with our allies, ask
ing to be spared none of the sacri-
fees they have made, none of the sor-
rows they have endured.

They haven't been baking any bread, but
just by way Of practice, they turned out
a batch of cinnamon buns the other day.
1t was a complete knockout" as thcy
say in the show business when anything,
scores heavily. That batch Of cinnamon
buns disappeared so quickly the girls
couldn't even remember the taste of
them, so the sergeant in charge Of the
bakery has invited crew of the girls
to come down and help him get out the
next batch. This time the girls will mix

Please Stay Home, Colonel
Roosevelt.

We are in thorough sympathy with
Col. Roosevelt's gallant plan to lead
against the Germans a division of
American soldiers under the command
of British or a French general. II is
a fine spirit that animates this pro-
posal. and Col. Roosevelt will find ten
times the number of volunteers re-
quired- even if we could get them
well trained within the next four
months. as he thinks we could. and a.
we think we couldn't.
But how about the British and
French generalsp Do they want us to
send over this diyision1 Do they want
the gallant Colonel to come dashing up
to the front. waving Old Glory in with
the folds of the lilies of France and the
Union Jack of Great Britain1
No. they don't want it a bit. They
ike the sentiment. but they view the
proposal. as a practical measure. with
little less than horror. We have re-
Gently had the good fortune to secure
6rst-hand information as to how the
highest military authorities on the
British and French fronts regard this
proposal. This information comes to
us in the form of a direct quotation.
which we shall repeat. even though the
language be much stronger than the
editor of this newspaper is accustomed
to use: For Gods sake" say these
generals. don't let anything like this
happen. Don't let Col. Roosevelt
come over here with 25.000 men or
even with 5000. Keep him at home.
Keep all of them at home for the
present. A year from now. perhaps
yes; but now. oh, no; not on any
account
What we want now is not men.
but food. ships and munitions, espe.
cially food. What in the world could
we do with $4,000 half-raw men. to-
tally unused to our method of modern
warfare as learned by US in the last
few years2 All we could possibly do
with them would be to deplete our al
ready sadly decimated staff of officers.
for the purpose of furnishing officers,
to train them. They would bother us
no end and would render us no real
service.
Please don't send us 25,000 more
mouths to feed. meaning just so many
more of our soldiers taken from the
trenches IN order to man the trans
port service that brings our food to the
front.
America has been fine. wonderful
to us. We are now comrades. shouI-
der to shoulder in spirit. Let US be
comrades in practical measures. Food.
munitions, and transport; give us those
three things. Train your own men at
home; then if a year from now we
shall need them. as please God we
shall not. then you can send them
along without interfering with the
shipment of more valuable COM
modities.
But. today; don't send the Colonel,
don't send the men; send US what we
really need"
