Henry Lane Wilson, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, must derive q degree
of cynical satisfaction over the unus-
ually rapid working out of this law in
case of the men who misrepresented
his official acts to the administration
at Washington and to the American
public during the last difficult months
of his diplomatic service. There is
William Bayard Hale, fer example.
MIR. Hale was sent to Mexico as a
confidential representative of the
president. II was understood then and
later that he aspired to become am
bassador to Mexico himself. Natural
~, he was not able to approve of AM
bassador Wilson's course or of the
policy toward Mexico which he recon-
mended to the administration at
Washington, and reported accordingly;
though Mr.. Del Valle representing
Mr.. Bryan at the same time. made a
report-officially wholly
supporting the ambassadors acts.
There was long delay in appoint
ing Mr.. Wilson'S successor due main
~ TO the fact that there was no stable
government to appoint him to. and
meanwhile Mr.. Hale. tired of waiting
perhaps, became critical of the presi-
dents Mexican policy and fell into
disfayor. Now, through correspond

HE HEARD GENERAL SHERMAN
fEvarybodv'ql


Before General Sherman's death he
tried to recall the when and where OF
his famous epigram, WAR is hell, .
and found no evidence that would es-
tatlish the matter. But John Kool-
beck, Civil war veteran of Harlan
Iowa. now solves the mystery.
1T was in 1868, after the battle of
Vicksburg.' says Veteran Koolbeck,
General Sherman was commanding
both the infantry and cavalry of the
western department.. At that particu-
lar time the army was crossing the
river Pearl at Jackson, Miss, on a
pontoon bridge General Sherman
sat on his horse at the waters edge
In deep meditation. The infantry had

Sherman suddenly broke his silence

ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE NOT
INFECTED WITH ANARCHY.

English-speabing people never have
seriously caught the anarchy infec-
ton from continental Europe, and
they never have lost their own self
control With common sense and
breadth of view at Washington, there
should be no danger of extension of
the !. w. w. movement in the United
States. The Anglo Saxon process of
political and social progress may be
described as a growth. an evolution.

down from precedent to precedent"
The reason for this exemption from
the fury which once ragged in France,
which now RACES in Russia, and which
may soon be raging in Germany and
Austria, is not far to seek.
No monarch ever succeeded for

long in subverting the rights OF the
Ehglishman, whose home has always
been his castle, whose claim to trial
by jury of his peers has ever been
acknowledged, whose participation in
the realms government Is as old as
the name of England.
While attempts upon the English
mans rights have more than once
succeeded for a little while. the
Anglo Saxon freeman has always re-
sented them and defeated them quick
~. Our own forefathers, protesting
the -handedness of a German
king on the English throne, resisted
with arms and won the independence
of the greatest republic that the world
ever has known.
The wild fury of the mob IS incon-
sistent with our temperament and
traditions. 1t is intolerahie to our
genius and institutions. Our people
never have been in the political fry
ing-pan, and therefore they are not
going to jump into the Bolshevist
fire.
But there must be no provocation
for an appeal TO the prejudices of
men and women who make ready re-
eruits to the l. w. W. and kindred
organizations. There must be no large
unemployed class during the latter
part of this winter or next.
The government now controls the
railroads of the country the greatest
single source of employment aside
from the farms in America The fl
nances of the railroads are in the
hands of the government. and will
be until after the next election, UNI
less the law is repealed.
The railroad managers before the
European war broke out had planned
for the construction OF many branch
lines. Three were planned for New
Mexico by the Santa Fe. Will the

There is no symptom now of any,

lands, the location of which is not
yet known. All of which reminds one
of the speech by General Goethals

Never measure a mans love by his
reluctance to part from you, dearie,
but by his eagerness to see you again.
For woman to keep two devoted
men on the string at the same time
is sign of artistry; for man to
keep two devoted women on the
string at the same time is a sign of
lunacy.

THEY MUST ALL SUFFER-.

The Berlin government has asked
the allies that commission of neu-
trails be named to fix responsibility
for the war. The German mind
does not seem to grasp the fact that
Germany is understood by the allies
and that no trickery can. for mo-
ment, mitigate the terms that will
be imposed ct the peace conference.
Germany is guilty. Austria is guilty,
Turkey is guilty. Bulgaria is guilty.
They will be sentenced separately.
Austria, historically, is the worst
offender. She hasn't single good or
generous deed to her credit. Marked
up against her are expressions of
Italy, Poland, Serbia, Rumania and
the non-German-speaking peoples
who constitute the major portion of
the Austrian empire.
Next in line. historically, comes the
"unspeakahle Turk" The Turk is an
Asiatic of Monaghan descent, an in
terloper who has cursed Europe with
his presence for almost seven oentu-
ries. He has been unprogressive. and
his rule has been one of murder and
assassination. His infamies culmi-
mated in the torture and death Of
nearly eight hundred thousand Ar
menians record of inhuman cruelty
unequalled since the days of Jinghis
10 II 10
butcher whole peoples.
Historically, Germany is not as bad
as Austria or Turkey, because the
German empire has been in existence
less than half century. but her
atrocities during four years of the
war were worse than anything ever
charged to Austria as part of one
event. Germany's conduct in Bel
GUM was not quite as horrible as
that of the Turk in Armenia, though
it is probable that just as many wo-
men and girls were subjected to the
vilest brutalities. The fact that not
so many people of Belgium and
France were murdered, as there were
of the Armenians, is due chiefly to
Germany's need of labor which could
be secured through enslavement of
their victims.
The German is q far better bust
ness man than the Turk.
So far as Bulgaria is concerned her
king did all the evil that his cunning
could invent. But the Bulgars were
the first to surrender and throw
themselves on the mercy of the court,
and 1t is possible that this fact may
serve to mitigate the sentence in some
degree.
But against Germany is the charge
that she actually inst!gated for her
own benefit, the greatest war in all
history. She melted Austria to de-
clare war on Serbia, knowing full well
that Russia would resent 1t, and that
for her own protection France would
be compelled to stand by Russia. She
knew that Great Britain would go to
war If the neutrality of Belgium was
violated.
For forty years generally. and for
twenty-five years specifically, Ger
many had been preparing to impose
her will on the rest of the world and
for booty raids on her near neighbors
in Europe,
Germany must. in the circum-
stances, be given the severest punish
ment, because It was she who incited
the others to their participation in
the most hideous crime of all history.

CRAFTSMANSHIP NEEDED NOW.

Iuere Is nlucn rear tluL GOISne-
vsm, like the Spanish flu, viii en-
circle the globe before it is checked
effectively. Bolshevism. which is the
latest name for anarchy, riot and red
terror, never has gained a foothold
among the English-speaking people.
There is no danger of it becoming a
serious menace in Great Britain or
America if the people thrown out of
their present employment as war
workers and soldiers are protected by
the government from unemployment.
The plan of gradually feeding back
into the Industries the million or two
OF men soon to be returned from the
camps to civil life has two good OBJ
jects: TO protect the employee from
over-competition; to protect the sol
der against unsalaried idleness.
But in the meantime, every day lost
by an able-bodied man is a dead loss.
Every man unemployed is direct
public charge as we'll as an indirect
loss. The best physical power of the
country is today in the army and the
navy, and two million of. these best
are, or soon will be, totally idle,
merely marking time till they are fed
back into the industries.
OF course, large percentage of
these men will be able TO gain en-
ployment or return to the businesses
in which they were engaged before
they went into the service Of the
country. Many of them have in
dependent means.
But worse than the idleness of the
soldier waiting for his discharge is
the millions of employees in war work
factories and other industries depend
ent upon the continuance of the war
Following every great European
war of the past. the participating ma
tons have been subjected to great
internal disorders, due to the very
problem now confronting America
Ycl never before was there anything
like the number of soldiers and work
ers in war plants as now.
When our civil war ended. The SOL
diers and war-workers were readily
absorbed by the construction of rail-
roads, the settlement on homesteads.
and the building of new towns and
cities. Before the end of the civil
war President Lincoln, far-sighted
and humane, who signed the home
stead act in 1862, almost three years
before the civil war ended.
With government assistance three
great transcontinental railroads were
built, the Union Pacific entering San
Francisco only three years after Leo
surrendered.
But ~hostilities have ended in Eu-
rope, contracts for war supplies are
being cancelled. soldiers are being
discharged from the service, and not
a single thing has been done by the
government looking to employment
of those who soon will be out of en-
ployment,

BACHELOR GIRL REFLECTIONS
BY HELEN ROWLAND

When a girl dreams of marching up
the white-ribbon aisle to the strains
of Lohengrin, she feels sanctified---
when man thinks of it, he feels
petrified.
To a man a filing" at twenty means
a golden, glorious riot; at thirty it
means a love affair; at forty it means
a mild relaxation and bottle of vim
tage wine. and at sixty it means q
headache.
Another thing which the Allies
should have demanded from Germany
was the ahdication of all the little
china statuettes on German mantel
shelves, and the Rehabilitation of all
those funny little unkissable German
mustaches.
