OVERSIGHT OR INDIFFERENCE?

The only discretionary authority permitted the Germans in
the terms Of the armstice was the manner in which the allied
prisoners should be returned to their lines. In every other
respect the armistice terms were stringent enough, especially
those relating to military details, and in matters insuring the
future supremacy of the allies and the continued impotency Of
the Germans.
Some graphic accounts Of the return Of American, French
and British prisoners are appearing in the papers. 1t seems that
under the terms the Germans were permitted to let down the
bars, and the allied prisoners were left to their own resources
in finding their way back.
Many of the prisoners were wounded, others were i'll and
all were emaciated and mistreated. Many Of them walked 40
to rs miles through the mud and cold, with no food except what
they could pick up on the roadside, and no clothing except the
rags and tatters and wooden shoes the Germans lett them.
1t was either an amazing bit of oversight or an alarming
instance OF indifference that caused the allied command not to
require that the Germans provide transportation and food for
the prisoners, and deliver them into the lines.
Some of the prisoners have been in mines and munition
works for three and four years, Repeated representations have
been made to Germany concerning the treatment of prisoners
without results, and it is particularly unfortunate that the
nations that could not compel humane treatmen during the
years Of the war should have been indifferent to the fate of the
prisoners at the end Of the war.

THEM HOME

An Improvement upon the plan announced by the govern
ment for mastering out returning troops would be to direct
them to their local registration boards, from which they would
receive their discharges.
The governments idea is to return the units to some central
point to be mustered out. If this plan is carried out some of
the men are likely to be turned loose at remote points. The
disposition in many cases will be TO try new and for the time
being attractive enterprises with which they have no familiarity,
and in a majority Of cases the men will find themselves entirely
unsuited for the unaccustomed duties.
Unrest and discomfort are likely to ensue, which will be
bad for the men and for industry. If the men are taken back
among friends and familiar faces, they will engender very little
disatfecton in finding their accustomed inches. They will fall
aato their places naturally and without interruption in the trans
formation into civilian life.
Men loosed far from their familiar haunts are likev ~

SHOULD HE COZ

The New York World regards the story that President
Wilson is considering attending the peace conference as a teeler
sent out to determine the attitude Of the country, and proceeds
forthwith to say that the presidents place is in Washington, ana
that there is nothing he could do at the conference that he could
not accomplish as we'll from Washington, The World is devoted
to the nationold precedent %forbidding the chief executive from
leaving the shores of the country.
There are more questions to be considered than mere prece-
dent in the issues to be determined at the peace conference.
In recent years we have come to regard no piece of news as
interesting unless it smashed one or more reVered presidents,
Whatever else President Wilson may accomplish he will for
ever stand in history as the president that led the country into
war, and led it to victory. No achievement can compare with
what he has done, and the farther away we get from the actuall-
ties the bigger it will appear.
If President Wilson wishes to attend the conference there
is no reason why he should not do so. 1t would be a fitting
climax for him to preside over the deliberations of the council,
and there is no doubt that his presence would lend a profound
wisdom and his personality a determining influence that could
not be transmitted over the cables.

Do you ever sit down calmly and
quietly and try to find out what is the
greatest defect in your character? No.
II hurts our vanity too badly when we
try TO viviseCt our W weakness, so
we lay the blame OF our failures n
u %unhappiness on luck, on social con-
d%ittons, on other people, and let It go
at that.
Yet II we knew what was our great
est defect we would have diagnosed
case and found what allied US, and
at least, have a chance to cure 1t, so
II is really worth while to investigate
the subject.
Perhaps your greatest defect Is lazi-
ness, You have never admitted that
to yourself, but you have got that
chronically tired feeling that makes you
loaf and invite your soul instead Of
rolling up your sleeves and tackling a
job as II you meal business, You are
never quite on time IN the morning,
and you work with one eye on the
clock, and are the first to cave in
the evening,
You never do one lick more OF labor
than you are paid for. You never really
put your back into your task, You
never have any interest In what you
are doing or any enthusiasm over It, and
yet you wonder why 1t Is that you
never succeed when the reason for your
failure is as plain RS a pike staff, It's
because you are lazy anu lablleSS ~
a perfectly durable disease "a soon as
you quit ~camouflaging II as the artistic
temperament, or delicate health,
Perhaps your greatest defect is lack
of grit and staying power. You are a
poor, miserable gutter. As soon as
you strike the hard shedding that II
takes endurance and courage to pull
through, you throw up your hands and
You have tried half n dozen different
professions into which you entered with
high hopes and enthusiasm, You were
sure you had found just the thing that
suited you at last, and you were sure
to win fame and fortune,
Perhaps you would, II you had stuck,
but you didn't, The minute your new
occupation ceased to thrill you with
its novelty you grew tired, When you
| found that to achieve success in n
line means long, hard, persistent drudg-
cry, ceaseless striving, and heart
breaking anxiety, you quit cold. You
| wouldn't pay the price Of victory.
You have never gotten anywhere in
life, You have stood still and have
seen hundreds of people, with a tenth
| OF your natural ability pass you in the
race, and you don't understand 1t, yet
there would be no mystery in 1t to
| YOU II You would face the fact that
tho reason you nave failed Is because
you have n spinal column about the
size and firmness of a silk thread.
Perhaps your greatest defect is be-
ing a waster. You spend none as II
| II grew on trees instead Of being coined
out Of ones very life blood You have
never looked out for the future, but
let each day take care OF itself, The
pennies have slipped through your loose
| fingers, as II they were so much water,
Opportunity has come your way, but
ones big chance nearly always has a
price mark on it, You couldn't take
advantage Of the opportunity YOU had
to 60 into business for yourself because
you didn't have the money to swing 1t.
