The literal translation of words and

A gentleman whose wife was noted
for her domesticity was seated next to
a Frenchman at IA dinner party. De-
string to compliment his neighbor and
enter into conversation, he remarked:
"Your wife, she is very homely."
But it remained for a German ho-

taken trip on train he was much
impressed by the brakeman calling

UNSUITABLE SHIP FOR U. S.
ton Will Defy German
Submarines.

New York, Feb. 13.--Means have
been found to make troop transports
unsinkable by submarine, according
to statement made by William L.
Saunders, vice chairman of the naval
consulting board, in an address at a
dinner of the University of Pennsyl-
vania alumni In this city.
Mr.. Saunders said that one of the
ships recently Communicated by the
government now lies at an Atlantic
port and in such shape that she cannot
be sunk by an exploding torpedo"
II can conceive of no reason why
this information should be withheld"
he added "On the contrary, l believe,
it is we'll that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has been
reached when American transports
which that enemy cannot sink are
ready for the transportation of our
troops, This ship may have a hole
thirty or forty feet in diameter blown
In her side and she win remain afloat
Such hoie would, waterlog but one
tenth of the honeycombed alright
cells"
Mr. Saunders described in detail the
plan to keep ships atloat afher they
had been torpedoed and the manner in
which IL had been developed by Will
liam 4. Donnelly, New York marine
engineer, working under authorization
OF the naval consulting board.
1t Is understood that the unsuitable
ship has no fewer than $4,000 alright
cells
COZ course 1t will take some time to
equip similarly the large number of
transports we have continued Mr..
Saunders. ut is my belief, however.
that nothing will be left undone by
the administration to safeguard the
lives Of large troop eontingents to be
moved across the Atlantic"
Secretary Baker has insisted before
the senate committee that 100000
American troops could be taken TO
France aud kept supplied during 1918,
His replies 10 the questions MS to
where the tonnage for the task was

was some information at hand which

volved In this war must be made In the
interest and for the benefit Of the popu-
lations concerned and not as part Of

claims among rival states; and

satisfaction that can be accorded them
without introducing new or perpetual
Ing old elements of discord and an
tagonlsm that would be likely In time
TO break the peace Of Europe and con-
sequently Of the world.
Autocraey Sole Bar to Peace.
"A general peace erected on such
foundations can be discussed. Until
such a peace can be secured we have
no choice but to go on. SO far as we
can judge these principles that we re-
gard as fundamental are already every
where accepted as imperative except
among the spokesman of the military
and annexationlst party in Germany.
II they have anywhere else been re-
jected, the directors have not been
sufficiently numerous or influential to
make their voices audible. The trag-
lcal circumstance is that this one party
In Germany Is apparently willing and
able to send millions Of men to their
death to prevent what all the world
now sees to be just.
Il would not be true spokesman
ef the people of the United States If /
did not say once more that we entered
this war upon no small occasion and
that we never can turn back from
course chosen upon principle. Our re-
sources are In part modified now and
we shall not pause until they are mo-
bilized in their entirety. Our armies
are rapidly going to the fighting front

desire of enlightened men everywhere.
Without that new order the world will
be without peace and human life will
lack tolerable conditions of existence
and development. Having set our

shall not turn back.

WILSON'S GREATNESS

No man connected with this war
has manifested more greatness in
character and constructive power
than President Wilson. The repub-
licans, while rallying around "Roose-
welt demagogy and high-tariff plu-
tocracy" endeavOred to rob the presi-
dent Of the honors he had achieved.
While the peace conditions pro
mulgated by Wilson and accepted by
the big minds Of the nations engaged
IN war, were being considered by a
council composed Of representatives
from these nations, and at a time
when the president should hvae had
the entire support Of the people the
mud pots were by republican leaders
thrown wide open, and rallying
around a man who once almost des-
troyed the republican party and will
do so again if the party does not full
ly respond to his selfish ends, endeav-
ored not only to destroy Wilson, but
to dictate the terms Of peace which
shall be advocated by the responsible
representatives Of the American peo-
pie as well as of the allied nations.
These attacks under the conditions
they were made shows that Wilson,
seeing the danger ahead, was correct
wFen he appealed to the country for
congress in sympathy with the adj
ministration's war measures and
peace conditions. 1t was natural that
he should want congress in SYM
pa by with him, one that would CO.
operate with him and his administra-
ton rather than congress out of
accord with him and ready to res
pord to the dictation Of medlers and
critics of the Roosevelt type.
Of course the election gave partisan
republicans chance to show their
dislike for Wilson and they did not
hesitate to express themselves pretty
freely. The country, however will
move right along and Wilson will con-
tinue to lead the ntions Of the world
in the progress of the war and peace
terms, recognized by all countries as
the greatest man of the day.

THE FOLLY OF WAR

Bulgaria, Turkey and Australian
gary, in the order named, have sur
rendered and are now practically out
of the war. This leaves Germany
alone in her struggle for world power.
For more than four years the three
central powers mentioned above have
fought with Germany and to this
very day but few of the masses of
the people, those upon whom the
hardships of the war bear the heav-
lest, know but little of the cause of
the war or for what they have been
fighting.
Billions of dollars have been spent,
millions of lives have been sacrificed,
the very best manhood Of those coun-
tries have been either killed or MAIN
ed for life, and what have they got in
return. 1t will take generations to
pay the indemnities and to rebuild
their waste places, Homes have been
destroyed that can never be rebuilt.
How foolish it was in these ma
tions to enter the war, and we inn
agine, they are now fully realizing
their folly. But they made their
choice and must suffer the conse-
quences of their folly.
The central powers, though res
ponsible for the war, will not, by any
means, be the only sufferers. Forced
to enter the war the allied powers, al
though they will be VICTORIOUS, and
were entirely justifable in taking
up arms against the central powers,
will suffer immense losses, both in
men and property. They are fight
ing for a just cause and know what
they are fighting for, and as they
see the central powers crumbling be-
fore their mighty armies they, too,
realize how foolish it was in Ger
many to bring upon the country a
conflict wrought with so much des-
truction to life and property
When the end comes civilization
win pronounce the bringing on of
the war the master piece of the
worlds folly. And it is to be hoped
the world will be fully convinced of
the folly Of war and viii never again
experience such conflict.
