HOUSES TASK.


When it was recently announced
Colonel +. Nj. House had been dele
gated to collect data in preparation
for the eventual peace conference,
every pro-German, pacitist, disloyalist
in the land began delighted cacklc.
But their noise was confession Of
ignorance.
In time of peace prepare for war is
all old saying. The president is also
convinced that in time of war we must
prepare for peace.
1t simply means the president is
wary, alert, on the job.
Past peace congresses often caused
more misery than the wars they end
ed The seeds of the present world
war were laid in the cowardicc Of
the Berlin congress, when the Balkan
question was side-stepped. President
Wilson, with characteristic prudence,
is trying to take time by the forelock,
so when this war ends it will end
properly.
This means that not only will
the allies, fighting for democracy,
win on the battlefield, but that
they will be prepared, so that they
will not be euchered, cheated,
tricked and hoodwinked by slick,
lying, Teuton diplomats in the
peace conference.
We have a big job. We have to
help smash the most formidable war
machine the world has known 1t is
going to take time and money. BY
next spring Uncle Sam will begin to
make some of his power felt in
France. by next fall he hopes to
have big army in the trenches. The
real energies of the country will be
absorbed in this. Within year we
will be doing our manful part in the
work of freeing the world forever
from the menace Of Prussianism.
But in the meantime it will do no
harm to prepare the material our dip
lomats will haye to use when the war
ends. Colonel House himself pointed
out that he will have to gather mass
of historical, political and economic
data. Then he added this. which gives
the rebuff to- all who are spreading
peace propaganda:
Such a task as this could not
even be we'll begun In less than
years time. That it is being UNI
dertaken now may be taken as an
indication that there are yet no

Folks who really are Interested in ring

Any one SO popular as Darcy would
have no trouble at all in tanning a
