NOBILITY.

It is manite t that the powerful people of this world gre by no means necessarily noble, and that most modern kings, poor in qual- ity petty in spirit, conventional in outlook, co ltrolled and limited, fall far short of kingship. Neverthe- less there is nobility, there is kin ship, or this earth is a dustbin and mankind but a kind of skin disease upon planet. The aristocrats are not at the right table, the kings are rot enthroned, those who are enthroned are but pretenders and sirlulacra, kings oi the vulgar; the real king and ruler is every man who sets aide the naive pas sions and self-interest of the com mon life for the rule and service of the world.

ings Really scientific war has no strategy except that of sheer ami hila and destruction"
 The New Republic describes this "stratCgy Of annihilation" as fol- low:
 The Allies capture a few hund- red yards of trenches on one sec tor of the line The Germans score similar success on another. Oc- castoraly the few hundred yard : increase into several miles, and the experts affect to believe that a railway junction or some other strategic point CT line of success ful offensive appear to be di pro portionate to the cost in ammuni- tion and men. On the eastern front hundreds of thousands of sol diers have been killed and an uni imaginable amount of suffering in 1icted OI their surviving com rades without effecting anything but in ignifcant changes in the mi litary situation.
 "On this front the fighting re- suits in much larger territorial gains and losses. The armies dd- vance and retreat over hundreds of miles; great victorie are won and lost; and hundreds of thou,ands of soldiers are captured. But the net results are not any more con elusive. The German victGrit in Galicia and Poland were g., brilliant as anything in military history. Ii the Germans had only the Russ sians to deal with they would have inflicted decisive de feat upon the enemy; but their vic tories tactcally complete as they are, are inde"isive.
 Futile as thi terrific fighting appears to be, it possesses hideous and frightful conclusiveness. It isl -emincntly successful in achicv- ing what has always been an es- sential object of ho tile 2rmies- that of killing large number Of their opponents. The percentage of losses among the troops which participate in the engagements is enormous and unprecented.

HIGH COST OF TRUANCY

DR.. SeIden M. Ely, supervising
principal, estimates that a boy loses
$40 for every day he remains away
from school. He does not give the
basis on which he makes this COM
putation. But his statement should
be taken to heart by parents who
are too willing to let Tom, or Dick,
or John Skip" school for a day.
1t likewise costs the community
money when a boy or q girl stays
away from school. 1t has been esti-
mated that it costs about $40 per
year per pupil to educate the chill
dren of Washington. It becomes a
heavy burden on the city when any
considerable number of children fail
Of promotion. Besides the economic
loss they sustain, which also affects
the community, there is an actual
cash expenditure involved in keeping
them in school year longer.
That is why the efforts being made
by the Community Center at the
Wilson Normal School to coach
backward pupils, and by the play
grounds department, to provide sum-
mer schools for conditioned" pupils,
deserve moral and financial support
Of this city. These efforts tend to
save taxpayers money.

comfortably full. Once more the
railroads are headed in the direction
of a partial freight embargo, after
the manner of last year. The situa-
ton is plainly one that cannot COM
fortably be prolonged above week
or two more. More ships must sail,
or enormous economic loss will re-
suit, to Americans as well as to
purchasers abroad.
The ships are waiting for two rea-
sons. They fear the German sub
marine order of February l, but
they also expect to gain the benefit
Of the policy that the United States
may adopt. In order to avoid con-
gestion or to minimize it, the United
States must act promptly. Convoy
ing or arming vessels from the New
York port or any other measure that
may be deemed proper should be
taken without undue delay.

DOES THE PUBLICITY PAY2

We beg leave to call to the atten-
'tion of the ladies who stand with the
yellow banners outside the White
House gates this comment by Will
lam Hard just returned from study
ing social conditions in England:
English women, by two and
half years of hearty cooperation
with men in managing the vital
affairs of the nation, have done
more to advance the cause of
woman outrage. not only in their
own country but throughout the
world, than they could have done
by years of idle waiting.
Do the women who shiver and wait
at 1900 Pennsylvania avenue truly
desire to advance the cause of suf-
frage? They are sure they want
publicity; but are they sure they are
getting the kind of publicity they
want? For a circus, even for a
public man, perhaps, it is better. to
be criticised than not to be talked
about at all. But is quantity the
only thing to be desired in getting
publicity for great social reform ?

Plans today were completed for
the Boy Scout parade Saturday after
noon. in which practically every Boy
Scout in. the National Capital will
take part
Should the weather permit the pa
rade will exceed any demonstration Of
youthful activities in Washington.
The parade, forming at the Peace
Monument, will be led by Major PIfil-
man at the head OF a large squad OF
mounted policemen. Following the
police will be the Washington Boy
Scouts Band, with fifty-four musi-
clans, led by J. l.. Kidwell.
The Boy Scouts troops will form a
line, marching eight abreast, several
blocks in length. They will parade
from the Peace Monument, up the
Avenue to Seventeenth street, thence
to the White Lot.
At the White Lot the Scouts will
execute the Scout spiral, led by
Deputy Scout Commissioners Patton
and Taylor.
The drill will be executed with the
Eagle Scouts, nfty-seven in number,
at the head. The Eagle Scouts are
those who have attained the highest
degree of perfection. The Eagle
Scouts will be followed by the Star
Scouts, the Life Scouts, the second
class Scouts, the tenderfoots, and the
candidates.

PROFESSORS AND NEWSPAPERS

President Nicholas Murray Butler,
of Columbia University, took Lin
coins Birthday as an occasion to
emerge from academic pursuits and
indulge in that hoary and ancient
pastime Of making bromide comment
about the insccuracy of newspapers.
He remarks that "The only counsel
/ have to give you is never to be-
lieve anything you read in news
papers about Columbia unless you
have personally seen it, and then
only half Of it." But he gives a
ray Of hope for better things by
pointing out that eve have a school
of journalism here, but it is still too
young to have wholly reformed the
American press"
Not infrequently newspapers must
feel impelled to protest against the
inaccuracy of college executives.
But life is short and space is scarce,
so they refrain. President Butler
affords too good an example of the
hahitual tendency of the professors
to forsake their laboratory con-
straints, their scientific exactitude
of statement, to overlook. The
newspapers would not mind SO much
if the standards of criticism and in
vestigation applied to botany, let
ters. music, or astronomy, were
maintained when the professors 90
in for reforming newspapers.
Instead of that they invariably in
dulge in the broadest generalizations
about newspapers. DR.. Butler un-
doubtedly has found errors in text
books. He does not advise, on that
account, that students believe only
one-half Of what they see in text
books, even in the histories, which
have been under heavy fire recently.
Every exhibit Of pictures includes
some meretricious works, some that
are mediocre, some that are palpably
untrue to life. But Dr.. Butler does
not advise students to view the art
galleries askance on that account.
Maybe the speaker was misquoted.
Maybe some newspaper got its facts
twisted. But we doubt whether all
newspapers did SO in respect to his
particular bill of complaints.
There is a more elusive, but
fundamental, aspect of newspaper
making in DR.. Buffers appeal to be-
lieve nothing in the newspapers "un-
less you have personally seen it, and
then only half of it." DR.. Butler
would have one mistrust what he

THE coMPLExITY OF EATING

Dieticians have impressed the pub
lie with the cosmic significance of
calorfes. They have even put us on
speaking terms with vitamens,
though most dictionaries ignore the
term.
Becoming more specific, but no
more Illuminating to the male intel
ligence, they asserted we ought to
eat more lentils. It is not for mere
man to deny there is such an animal.
But, we protest, it isn't chummy
sort of edible, like carrots, or cab
bage, or steaks, that everybody
knows, neither does it seem to have
any historic setting or regional asso-
citation, like corn pone or Boston
baked beans. Housewives assure US
that lentils arr hard to find, that they
are not a common article Of diet, and
the dictionary throws this light on
the subject:
An old world leguminous plant
with pale-blue flowers and broad
pods containing edible seeds; also,
the seed itself.
That is not enlightening; it even
reflects on the neutrality of the len
tils, by leaving in question that part
of the old world from which it
emanates.
Now come the advocates of herbs.
Just herbs. No specifications. What
sort of herbs? We stand ready to
reduce the cost Of living by eating
lentils and herbs, though it sound
like a cave-man diet, the sort of
thing Gilbert Chesterton, and our
other advance thinkers might eat; but
how to get them? By the Gdart,
gallon, or package? And where to
find them? In drug store, grocery,
or with our own hoe in the back
lots?
it is all confusing. Life is CON-
plex enough. We venture into the
higher realms of thought regarding
cubism, postimpressionism, color
music, and can no longer get a re-
action by sitting down to steak and
fried potatoes, something that
seems sure and tangible, but in
stead we must delve into the un-
known gastronomy Of lentils, herbs,
and whatnot, and extract the cube
