PARIS. France. November IA Ode
layed).-The breath OF truth for the
irst time In this nightmare war has
broken forth from the mysterious and
tente. 1t spreads throughout the world
and must be shaking the souls OF ma
lions. What did Lloyd George, the
greatest figure and veteran statesman
in the councils of the allies, say? In
few words it runs thus:
We might have run the war. but we
have not. because of mistakes Of our
narrow prejudices and of spirit OF
sel1shness." ,-s'
AS a confession it was courageous
but terrible, and must weigh down the
authors of those mistakes under a
crushing load of responsibility. The
truths now acknowledged by Premier
Lloyd George have for long time
been seen by outside observers Of the
war. The people must tremb1e today
and fear for the future, lest the same
mistakes be repeated. They must tear
away the veii~ of hypocrisy and make
believe in order that they may know
and act
Democracy and Autocracy.
1t is said that democracy to make
war must become an autocracy. That Is
German doctrine, and it cannot be. APP
pileo TO democracles. Let us try, for a
change. to inform the people who are
lighting this war of the real situation
and ask Of them the effort to win.
The speech of Mr.. Lloyd George has
produced the most profound impress
sion everywhere. Two, weeks ago he
gave his hearers to understand that
unity of effort on the part Of the al
lies was a reality. Today he says the
unity of the allies. in SO far as strategy
goes, is a pure make-b believe. He does
not attempt to reconcile his two
statements.
His speech contains many ideas
which I expressed in an article written
in September and published October
II. For months prior to that time THESE
ideas had possessed me. but 1 had
neither confidence in. my isolated judg-
ment nor the courage to believe that 1t
was best for the common good to pub
fish the truth. So great was the power
Of political hypocrisy Of public men
and false patriotism that 1t took the
Italian calamity. to bring a 'realiza-
ton of the truth home to the govern
ments and force action which under
an honest discussion of the situation
would long since have been brought
about.

THE PHILIPPINES
 GOVERNMENT USING
 GERMAN VESSELS
Two Have Already Been Put In Commission And Others
 Will Follow
(ASsOciqfcd Prc3S)

VANILLA, August 7.-The first Of the smaller of the commandeered Ger man vessels in the Philippines to ap- proach the completion of her repairs will be put into commission within two or three days to be followed soon by two more.
 These three vessels probably will be the first of the inter-island fleet which the Philippines government expects to establish with the seized vessels. The 23 steamers seized in the Philip pines at the time of the rupture of relations with Germany had an az gregate tonnage of S4,000. The Phil ippine government, while recogniz-
 ng that the larger steamers should be put either into the Pacific or Att lantic trade, as the National Shipping Board thinks best, made plea to Washington that ten of the smaller vessels representing perhaps third of the total tonnage, be assigned to the government for such services as the insular authorities deemed wise.
 While the chief use to which the German steamers will be put, will be either in inter-land traffic or in sea trade between the Philippines and the China coast, the insular government has in mind the possibility of employ ing one of the vessels perhaps in trade between the islands and Spain. There is population of close to 10000 Span iards in the Philippines. They alone provide a market for many Spanish products.
 Meanwhile, work on the larger Ger man steamers is proceeding rapidly. Two already have sailed. The out fitting of so many vessels and in so short time has exhausted the SUD- plies of naval stores in Manila and of the China coast. Some vessels may have to wait for the arrival of these stores from the United States. The manning of so many vessels also vir-

NEW STATIONS ARE
 NAMED ON RAILROAD

Two new stations, Pittman and Houston, have been added to the schedules of the U. S. railroad rec ently, both on the main line beyond Wasilla. Pittman was formerly mile 166 and Houston mile 174, the crossing of the Little Susitna river. The change in designation was made necessary by the introduction of regular service between Anchorage and these points.
 Both stations are named for con gressmen who have been instrumental in the development of Alaska and the government railroad. Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, for which Pittman was named, formerly resided in Nome where he was the first proecuting at- torney Congressman William c. Houston of Tennessee, for which Houston was named, was chairman of the committee on territories and hand led the Alaska railroad project in the house.-Anchorage Times.

SOME BALL-PLAYERS
 ARE VERY PARTICULAR

Once in while the question arises as to how baseball managers decide who shall have the upper Pullman berths and who shall have the lower when the teams are on the road. Some ball players are particular where they sleep and most of them want lower berths.
 Captain Bill Rodgers of the Port land Pacific League Club has explain ed that when the Portland team trav- els, the first man on the Batting list gets berth No. One, the second on the list berth No. Two and so on. For the pitcher who is to work the follow ing day and for Manager Walter Nc Credie, there are saved two lower berths in the middle of the car. The utility men get the berths remaining after the regulars are accommodated.
