how to attain it-by universal service.
It's like this: When you're well you
prepare to conserve health by soap and
common sense. So In time OF peace we
must conserve peace by preparedness.
With the awful example before us,
there's not much danger that any free
nation will hereafter choose to be

preparedness Is like vaccination. IL

A wisely defended state Is no more mill.

ready in France and other hundreds of
thousands are getting ready to join
them. But these troops are neither
well trained nor properly equipped for
service. And that is fact apparently
as well known to Germany as to every.
body else.
The sole remaining chance of Ger.
manw winning the war lies in an Of.
fensive that will bring the allies to
their knees before the winter is end
ed. For the first time since verdun
the German commanders have nothing
to distract them on other fronts. The
Italian situation is at a standstill ap-
parently, and under present climatic
conditions il Is extremely unlikely that
either side will make any serious effort
to advance over a wide front With all
anxieties removed so far as Russia
and Rumania are concerned, Germany
can now concentrate every unit Of
power upon the western front without
it's lines anywhere else. In
the opinion of skilled observers Ger
many must now make its big gamble.
If France can hold out against the ut
most endeavors of the German armies
it will mean certain victory for the
allies and perhaps sooner than could
otherwise be achieved. And France
and Great Britain are waiting this
mighty blow with the same heroic for
titude that has always characterized
those nations in the face OF supreme
tests.

DIMES IN FRANCE.

Word comes from France that the
American dime is beginning to circulate
freely there Most of the Sammies who
cross over have a little small silver in
their Jeans They insisted. from the
first. that il was perfectly good money
which II is-and after a little the ma
tives took their word for It, The dime
now passes current as half-franc
piece, and thus fits neatly into the
uniform currency system prevailing IN
France. Belgium. Switzerland and Italy.
There's no sound reason why Ameri'
can money, whether gold silver or
paper. shouldn't be accepted freely In
small transactions anywhere in the
world. Heretofore that honor has been
reserved for British money. but with
the growing prestige OF American fin
ance-not to mention American COM
merce and American soldiers. our cur
rency is rapidly extending its sphere
Of influence.
There are good reasons why France.
particularly, should take kindly to our
dimes The very word Is French. for
merly written 'disme.- meaning a tenth
part, or 1.-THE II represents. too. the
decimal system of money notation which

II might further be remarked that
the American dine is worth more than
the French half-franc. But the French
are welcome to the difference.

Quoted the recent truce negotiations
with the Russians.
According to an account printed In
a Petrograd newspaper, the negotiators
were informed that they must maintain
a serious mien. controlling their facial
muscles despite all temptation to laugh
at the ridiculous situation.
1T may happen" the instructions
read, that at the first meeting the
Russian delegates will attempt to kiss
the negotiators. They must be prepared
for that. and must press the Russian
to their hearts. saying repeatedly. 'Tava.
rish' (comrade). The fatherland demands
this sacrifice of the negotiators.
They should also have at their
tongues end the following favorite Rus
sian phrases: Universal democratic
peace Peace without anexations and
contributions
They were further notified that they
need not take the trouble to note the
Russian positions and inform them
selves regarding the number OF guns
because that would be attended to by
"stafY officers especially designated"
Never was a wolf more carefully

UNCLE SANS SHIPPING PROFITS.

Uncle Sam. operating several hundred
ships. is said to be making nearly 100
per cent profit on them. It's partly
good management. but mostly the bene-
fit Of monopoly. The government pays
the owners of the ships $3.50 a ton and
collects $12 ton. The freight rates
are fixed by the shipping board to ac.
cord with those Of the British govern.
ment, which derives large war reve-
nue. from its shipping.
Ordinarily. this procedure would
arouse keen resentment. But somehow
the good old trust rule of charging all
the traffic will bear looks different
when it's our Uncle Sam that's doing
the charging. He needs the money, and
it's good way to raise it, even though
1t does make our imported olives. an.
