Unifying the Allies Military Front.

When the British premier, in war time
addresses Parliament at its opening ant
submits, as is the custom, to question
ing, it is obvious that he speaks unde
difficulties. He must deal with military
diplomatic and internal policies and al
the while guard against indisereet rev
Citations. For the facts which the popu
lar representatives and the public desire
and even need to know arc also desired
by the enemy, who as Premier LLOYD
George says, would pay fabulous sums
to obtain them.
The wonder, therefore, is not that Pre-
mier Lloyd George speaks so cautiously
of military tactics, war aims and foreign
policy, but that he can say as much as
he does.
1t is heartening TO know that the SUI
preme war council has, at last. extended
its functions to executive management,
and that the whole western front, from
Flanders to the Adriatic, is to be treat
ed as unit, with the British, French,
American and Italian armies similarly
viewed and disposed. II was lack of
such unity which exposed Italy to her
reverse of last autumn, and it is the
threatened German offensive in the West

Marriage and War Service.

The wisdom of Secretary Bakers rul-
ing against taking marriage as a proof
that man was trying to cyade military
duty, commended by us before, has been
illustrated by an incident published this
week. The New York City district board
of examiners has reversed the ruling of a
local board in the case of man who
took to himself wife since the war be-
gan. Those who are looking for the
worst motives would jump to the con
clusion that he married to escape the
draft
The facts are that the young pair were
engaged to be married year ago last
January. The announcement was print
ed in an Orange county paper of that
month and the production of this paper
was counted sufficient evidence of the
mans good faith The wedding had been
put off by an accidental fire in which the
prospective bride was badly injured. Such
facts only need statement, without any
added argument,
