FRENCH HOMES OPEN TO SOLDIERS

One of the incidental problems of the presence OF Ameri-
can soldiers in France, that of their vacation or rest periods IS
being happily solved by the French people. Awed and per-
turbed by the dazzling lights of Paris, army officers planned to
set aside a city that should be thoroughly Americanized for the
uses of Yankee soldier boys on leave, and Aix-le-Balns was
chosen for the purpose. Something in this did not exactly
square with a finer sense of our relationship with the French;
lit embodied an element of aloofness not in harmony with the
professed friendship of the two peoples. With a tact and dis
erection contrasting strongly with the course we have pursued
IT, preserve our boys from possible contamination by foreign
manners, the French people are planning to open their homes
to American soldiers on leave, SO that they can get a closeup
view of the people with whom they are fighting. Joffre is
president of the organization that is working to this end, and
lit has substantial backing, SO that the plan may be extensively
carried out. Benefits that will come from the closer acqualnt-
.ancr are obvious. They will be of the nature OF some that al
ready have been noted. One of these is the change in the at
titlde of the Yankee toward the Britisher on the front. Our
boys went over with something of the idea that the French
were the heroes and the whole show; they have had oppor-
tunity to see what the English have been and are doing, and
the few months of this sort of contact have brought about q
better feeling than a century of peace had established. The
nations are not only one neighborhood, but are becoming one
family.

THE KAISER AS A pROFITEER

Four million Germans have been killed ana "nJonaad
battle since the war began. Every day the war 10 us ~
more Germans are killed. Every day the war is proioheeu III
kaiser's riches are increased. Every German klied OF Jun
ed adds to the hoard of golden marks in the kaisers uea'u
chest. The kaiser plays the game OF chance WIFI us n'A' "
the game of money he plays a sure thing. ur
The kaiser's wealth and his sources OF revenue r" "l
profits are not confined to the Krupp gun works. Inc ac'lon
|of the United States senate the other day by a vote u o y
giving authority to A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custo-
dian. to take over and sell the piers of the Hamburg merioa
and the North German Lloyd Steamship companies III
and other Germanowned properties in America, VIII doupu1s'
reveal millions and millions of dollars worth of German hoio-
.ings in this country. The capital stock OF the hamDure-
American line is about $40,OOO,OOO. Eighty German shlps nave
been seized by the United States and the value OF these snlps
has been placed, at a low estimate, at ~$75,OU,OOo After
months of research the secret operatives of the United States
have revealed immense values in German-owned steel, cotooh'
oil grain hides foodstuffs and other material in this country.
The total value of all these properties, it is said, Will exceeo

is a arge stakeholder in the German steamship companies ana
that he is also heavily interested in other German concerns In
the United States.

THE BATTLE OF PICARDY

In all the wars of history there has been none to compare
with that which now involves the world, and in this war there
has been nothing to equal in extent or significance that battle
that for sixteen terrible days has pressed across the sacred
fields of Picardy. Never has so much blood been shed In one
spot i'm such a space of time, and never has mankind been so
profoundly concerned in the result of an engagement is TINS
week to stand out as the eliminating point of an epoch, as the
ending of an old and the beginning of a new era? And, II so,
are its consequences to humanity to be measured by the vast
ness of the sacrifice?
No one can answer these questions with definheness, for
the answer lies in the womb of the future. But whether this
battle is decisive or not, it is not unreasonable to believe that
lit marks the highest point of endeavor attainable in this great
est of all contests. There can be no certainty as to that, for
we have gone from incredible to incredible in this war, and
greater and still greater struggles may be before us. Ii IS pos
sibt that this will be numbered with Mons, the Marine, Ypres,
tArras and Verdun, as but one of the progressive series OF CO.
lossal events leading to a consummation of battle, yet more
terrible and yet more destructive. But under the limit Of human
capacity and human endurance it would now seem that the Teu-
tonic forces have touched the supreme height of their power,
the largest possible massing of men and agencies OF destruc-
ton. If they do not achieve an absolute victory now, and they
will not, it would appear hardly probable that they can again
endure such appalling losses as they have sustained in the past
two weeks, and while the war will no doubt go on, possibly
for a long time, they will think very hard and very seriously
before they will make another attempt of such magnitude
against the still growing powers and still indomitable spirit OF
their enemies.
The war surely is to be won in the west. 1t is even so
surely to be won by us and it is neither impossible nor improb-
able that it is being won now. Time alone can measure the
full significance of this engagement, but this much is certain,
the blood shed by the allies on the field of Picardy
in these spring days of 1913 will not have been shed in vain,
and this date will be forever memorable as one which marks
one of the greatest if not the supreme struggle of mankind for
the preservation of human liberties and of human rights.

TREASURY WAR OPERATIONS

Some figures from the treasury department may be OF in
terest in connection with the present drive for the Liberty
loan. The public mind is %bewildered with the talk of billions
that have been or are to be expended in connection with the
war, financial operations having kept pace with military
maneuvers, on a scale far beyond comprehension of common
mortals.
The ordinary expenditures of the government from July
a, 1917, to March 16, 1913, were 81 ,233ye6i 600, or over $13yOOO,-
900 a day. These figures do not include $3621 $4,000 loaned
to our allies, a good investment, nor $~22,OOO,OOO used to pur-
chase bonds of the farm loan banks, another good investment.
Total disbursements of the government for the period men
toned were $i1 ,24, $4,000. Actual expenditures on war &C
count amount to little more than three and one-half billions
of dollars.
The receipts of the treasury in this same time were $i1,-
IO17 257 900, derived from all sources, including bond sales and
issuance of certificates of Indebtedness. Revenue to the esti-
mated amount of $2,5OO,OOOOOO will be due June IS; some of
this already has been paid into the treasury, but by far the
largest part is yet to be collected. Bonds, certificates OF n
debtedness, war savings certificates and thrift stamps had
been issued by the treasury up to March IL in the amount OF
So, 56O,8 O52. SO. Appropriations for the war department since
the declaration Of war total $780, H ,756.48, and of this So
OO6 761, 9O715 had been withdrawn from the treasury. For
the navy appropriations amounting to 81, 9O5,62O,919 were made,
and 81 1854 100000 expended.
In announcing the present loan, Secretary McAdoo called
attention to the fact that expenditures had fallen slightly be-
low estimates, and gave it as his opinion that the sum asked
would be ample for treasury requirements for the remainder
of the calendar year.

And why, pray, are men who insult the flag forced to kiss
it? Is this not heaping insult on insult? What would you
think of a mob that would seize a degenerate accused Of revil-
ing a good woman and punish him by forcing him to kiss her?
Really, we are sometimes very absurd.

The war risk insurance bureau recently announced that
the reason for the delay in sending allotment checks to soldiers
dependents was because of the receipt by the bureau of soma
10000 letters asking the reason for the delay. The excuse of
the small boy for being tardy at school was that his mother had
spanked him for being a slug-abed.

The German socialists have ideas of brotherhood which
agree with those of the kaiser. You first seize your brothers
country, kill off his women and children, appropriate his raw
material, call upon God to witness your loving kindness, set
up one of your sons as king and the trick is done.

GERMANY AND A LEAGUE OF NATIONS

In a semi-official document the German government
scouts the idea of a league of nations to maintain world peace.
Snch a proposal the kaser's advisers deem fantastic and out OF
reason. 1t is quite easy to understand why Berlin should so
regard any move that contemplated an understanding between
tho nations of the world in which equality of rights and recOg-
milton of the interests of each was considered. The Germans
are now fighting to establish their own supremacy; the super
man idea is no longer concealed behind the screen of lofty pre-
world, but only on German terms, which include the supremacy
of all things German. A league of nations on any other basis
is not at this time acceptable to the Pottsdam philosophers
Germany may yet be willing to join in the plan proposed by
our president: General association of nations under specific
covenants for mutual guarantees of political independence and
territorial integrity to large and small states alike" The only
difficulty then to be encountered by the Huns will be to con-
vince other nations of their sincerity.
The shortage of paper in Germany cannot be extreme If
Berlin is willing to waste it by dropping copies of that gorge
Gus fake. the continental Times" in the American lines in
France.
The market for Liberty bonds did not go down in the face
of the German drive. That ought to mean something even to
the German soldiers.
The British bulldog never showed to better advantage than
he has shown during the last week at grips with the German
boar.

BY WEIGHT

The order of the food administration that hereafter farm
and garden products be sold by weight instead of dry meas
ure certainly works no hardship on either vendor or purchaser,
except insofar as it entails a little additional trouble. There
is danger for the purchaser, however, in that certain unscrupu-
lous dealers may take advantage of the situation and sell wa
ter instead of food. Certain articles are capable of absorbing
quite a large amount of water, which, while not apparent as
these articles appear on sale, nevertheless add materially to
