TALK WAR NOW
AND NOT PEACE
Elihu Root Urges Nation
Not to Be Carried Away
With Peace Discussions.

Chicago, Ill. Feb. Elm a letter
read at the congress Of national SER
vice today Elihu Root of New York,
honorary president OF the National Sc
curity league. said the public should
be careful not to have its attention
distracted from the intense coneen-
tration necessary to win the war by
the discussion about peace terms that
was appearing in some OF the papers
and at some gatherings. He pointed
out that there were no negotiations
and no basis for negotiations.
IN his letter regretting his inabil-
ity through illness to be present Mr..
Root said:
Let US be warned by poor Rus
sia's present position The Bolshe-
Wiki were very eloquent about peace
without annexations or indemnities,
and they filled the minds of Russian
soldiers and Workn1en with the idea
TO such an extent that they stopped
fighting and making munitions, but
when they got to Brest-Litovsk they
found what the leaders probably knew
all along-that Germany had no in
tention Of making any such peace.
She wanted the Baltic provinces OF
Russia and she seize1 and proposes TO
keep them, and Russia having
stopped fighting in favor OF the KIND
Of peace she desired, finds herself IN
position where for the present she
has nothing whatever to say about
the kind of peace there shall be. We
must beware of anything in the re-
hottest degree approaching that"
-Of course there have been mistakes
and shortcomings in the conduct OF
the War-it would be a miracle II
there were not. Sincere AID con-
structive criticism Of executive con.
duct is a very useful thing. But we ali
must be careful that neither short
comings nor criticism tends in the
slightest degree to divert or decrease
the heartiness with which we all sup
port and reinforce the president and
his civil and military officers in car
rying on this war.
II beg OF you as citizens OF this
great republic, not to let your minds
be carried from the great work we
have before US"
Democracy Is on Trial.
S. Stanwood Menken, president and
founder OF the National Security
league, in his address. assert
ed that as yet the people of the
United States have not proved that
democracy is the most effective form
of government
I'VE have failed" he said. "to de-
velop in the average citizen a sense
Of personal responsibility for the con-
duct Of the government, sufficiently
strong to translate itself into continu-
Gus service for the common veal
Mr.. Menken insisted that enemy
aliens should not be permitted to
gather in Sssemblages of more than
five without a special permit, and
pleaded for full national obligatory
training.

ONES INABILITY TO SLEEP
insomnia May Be Overcome by For
getting About 1t and Avoiding
Unnecessary Excitement.

If you don't sleep well don't worry
about it. Your lack of sleep isn't go
ing to kill you or drive you insane
That is the substance Of the advice
given by a doctor writing in the Amer
lean Magazine.
It is advice that good many nerv-1
GUS people need, observes the Kansas
City Star. How often do you hear
some one apprehensively complaining
that he lies awake "aa night" The
chances are that he only thinks he was
awake all night, and that in reality he
got several hours Of sleep between the
spells Of wakefulness. But even 1t he
was wakeful, it is nothing to be
alarmed about. Especially is 1t Moth
ing to warrant taking medicine.
The way to get over insomnia is to
pay no attention to it, and not to talk
about it. Sleep is largely matter OF
habit. 1t depends on living ration
ally and going to bed at regular time.
You are likely to be wakeful il you
stir yourself up in the evening. Ii
you work at night or get deeply IN
terested in anything you find it diff
cult to relax. That is the chief rea-
son for wakefulness after party. The
excitement of the crowd interferes
with sleep. The ideal way is to taper
off the days activities as evening
comes.
