PLAYING FAIR
(Columbus Dispatch.) !

Columbus DiSpatch.)
 With the coming of peace there will be a tendency to forget what the boys have done in. this war. Already uniform looks different" says cynic from a neigh boring city-and to him it probably does. But to the great mass of Americans it does not, and 1t must not We must not allow our ardor for the soldiers to cool off; they are still our soldiers. They are entitled to all the consideration, to all the love and affection, they would be entitled to if the war were going on at this very moment.
 But it must be confessed there is a ten dency to forget. Few of us remember the bridge which bore us across the stream after we have safely crossed over. In the heat of battle, in the hours when the smoke of destruction is thick about us-when the menace is before our eyes-we make many promises. We are going to do, oh, ever so much for those who rescue us. But no sooner has the battle ceased, and the smoke cleared away, than we begin losing our en- thusiasm for our saviours. These long casualty lists that are being printed from day to day ought to open our eyes to what we owe these soldiers; they ought to fasten in our minds forever the meaning of the uniform
 It cannot be expected that we remain keyed up in our excitement The martial music does not sound so inspiring when it is known there Is no enemy to be met But, deep down in our hearts we can re- solve that we shall not forget the uniform nor treat it with any less respect when a peace treaty is signed than we did in the dark days when the boys went marching away.

GERMAN CONTROL
(Fronn Life.)

(From Life)
 On the evening before solar eclipse the colonel of German regiment of in- fantry sent for all the sergeants and said to them:
 There will be an eclipse of the sun to- morrow The regiment will meet on the parade ground in undress. will come and explain the eclipse before drill. If the sky is cloudy the men will meet in the drill shed, as usual"
 Whereupon the ranking sergeant drew up the following order of the day:
 Tomorrow morning, by order of the colonel, there will be an eclipse of the sun. The regiment will assemble on the parade ground, where the colonel will come and superintend the eclipse in person. If the sky is cloudy the eclipse will take place in the drill shed.

aged and devastated countryside But when it comes to paying the entire cost of the war, that is different In the first place she cannot do it. In the next place this demand. even if enforced. so far as Ger many can pay, will sow the seed for an other war if it does not, indeed, renew this one. Wilson may be too moderate in his demands upon the Hun, and the allies may be too stern. There ought to be happy medium; common ground.

Here is another good thing that has come out of the war: The Americans have learned to make cunning and beautiful dolls Always we had depended upon the French for our pretty dolls and upon the Germans for our solemn and cute ones. Even up to last Christmas the American made dolls in the market were fearfully and wonderfully made So sad and grot- esque were their expressions that they were calculated to bring grief rather than joy to the kiddies' hearts. But this year the American doll smiles and beckons from the counter with a grace of its own and an attractiveness that is sure to win baby hearts We are learning fast A year hence and we may well surpass even the Parisian dolls, and as for the German brand-never again.

Rocheambeau and Washington at York town; Petain and Pershing at Sedan. Two groups with but little more than hun dred years between. And how proud we were to have couple of divisions with the once hated Briton in the glorious struggle for Cambrai. The world moves on. France and England, enemies for thousand years, are allies now, and America, having fought twice against England and, nearly entered into war against France, is now with them, a part of the greatest triumvirate in all the history of the world This alliance stands for the highest and best for the masses of the worlds peoples. Human nature can never be entirely free from selfishness. Hu- man nature can never be entirely free from selfishness, cruelty and pride, but this Brit ish-French-American partnership will stand far above any past or present alignment of nations in its approach towards the ideal.

In naming the victors and praising the fighters and mourning the glorious dead, let us not forget the British merchant ma rine. During the four years of the sub marine war these sailor men who went down to the sea in ships in order to keep British troops on the firing line and British workshops open and British mouths fed, faced as great danger and suffered losses not unworthy to be named with their breth- ren in the trenches. The toll was fifteen thousand for the war Brave as any were the merchant shippers and sailor men who died from explosion and the rush of waters. Never a chance to escape for them. But the British ships sailed on and failed not. Always there were men to sail them. Let us speak of the merchant marine, if you please.

Washington Times: There is, apparent ly, a possibility of Lloyd-Georges defeat at the coming elections. Could you ask a better proof of human foolishness? Lloyd Georges Welch-Celtic fighting blood made possible England wonderful achievements in the war It is he that had the brains and moral courage to put the whole British army under the great Frenchman. Foch. if England should vote against him, it ought to make the kaiser laugh. even if he Is fac ing trial for murder. One leader loses a war and his people kick him out. Another wins the war and the people KICK him out. An able Southern orator eloquently said: Keep always in mind the fact that you can't possibly exaggerate the public stupidity Something in that.

This column has always loved France and her heroic history and has been proud of English accomplishments and it yields to no one in admiration of Lloyd-George and Clemenceau, the tiger, even taking side with their views as against some ot those of our own President Wilson, yet in the matter of recent French and English utter ances, regarding payment for the cost of the war, it must take the other side. When Germany asked President Wilson for peace terms upon which to base an armistice, he conferred with France and England and then modified his expressed terms, regard ing freedom of the seas and restoration ot occupied territory to suit the expressed con ditions of our allies. In other words, he left the freedom of the clause open to a more strict interpretation and the restored territory clause, he modified so as to in- clude payment for damage inflicted by the invaders This was eminently proper and right. But now, England and France are asking that Germany pay the cost of the war. This is an altogether different thing from reparation and restitution and even indemnity. It is more on the order of the German way of right by force. Germany should be made to pay the expense of the armies of occupation and she should pay for the losses suffered at the hands of the submarines and she should restore and re- imburse France and Belgium for their pill
