When Soft Answer Doesn't go"

A soft answer turns away wrath ex-
cept when little WIllie's schoolteacher
asks Willie what he has in his desk
that is causing so much amusement
and little Willie's answer is so soft
the teacher doesn't understand the first
time. There is very little wrath turned
away in this case.

The Repington Case.

The military crisis in Britain has produced
nothing significant than the OF Col. Rep
ington, military critic OF the London Morning Post
and formerly of the Times, who is to be prose-
cuted by the Lloyd George government because of
his having made statements about its conduct OF
the war which it deemed dangerous its prestige
Repington, who left Northcliffe after a quarrel
over army politics and army administration ap-
pears now in the breach as a new and greater
Northcliffc, so far defiance of the censorship is
concerned. Hc is the foremost military critic in
Great Britain and probably in the world. He has
a mighty following in England which followed him
from the Times the Morning Post and has
proven the strongest champion of army freedom
from the Vaccinations and the interference of poll
icians that the has produced in any country
Just he is squarely behind Sir William Robert
son, chief OF the British general staff, and Sir
Douglas Hag in their more or less shadowy fight
for independence against the Lloyd George cabinet
and Mai Gen. Sir Henry Wilson, who is the British
representative at the Versailles council, and who
according report, is slated succeed Sir William
Robertson ii Lord George has his way
The progress of the Rcpington prosecution will
be interesting. The details OF the fight war
management in London are not fully understood on
this side OF the Atlantic but the general outline
and the principles behind it are paralleled in our
own war administration. There is already a strong
feeding in the American army that it should be
given freedom and independence of action
than it has been given. The actual fight this
point is d long way off in Washington; but for
year or more it has been the breaking point in
Great Britain Possibly the Repington case
will be brought trial, since critic of his stand
ing and character cannot be silenced by govern
ment fiat in such a nation as England without pro-
ducing profound disquiet among the people

main problem was growing bigger and more exigent,
we confess that we're disorganized inefficient and short
of the labor to build ships. All ant-Germany, today,
finally realizes that the problem is ships the plain urgent
problem of ten months ago.
Evidently the question of this hour is this, no
more, no less:
Can the allies hold Germany, with its man power
and gun power increasing by additions from the
East, until we launch the necessary ships?
There is no question to starving Germany in the
matter of food material for battle. There is no
question relief through internal embarrassment in

The Problem, Always and Today.

What the United States has attempted in this war
never before heard of in all the worlds history
What it has already accomplished is without precedent
The proposition to transport a vast force over
5000 miles of ocean and keep it supplied No other
nation did anything approaching this and it was
basic, all important proposition upon which all our
other propositions depended and without successful
solution of which might well continue as an out
ragged and disgraced neutral Ten months ago. when
We decided to in this hercuean labor that this
proposition plain and definite to the entire
world Moreover such conditions in entente coun-
tries that clearly limited as to time in which
to solve problems In other words we had not
only to get into the fight 5000 miles across an enemy
infested ocean, but get before our friends already in
became exhausted through lack of food and other sup
plies.
That We have in Europe 10000 Americans, we'll
armed well trained we'll provided for modern war busi-
ness IS remarkable. 1t is something without parallel
TO say nothing about the millions and millions of tons
of supplies we've landed in Europe for the allies But
what are the present facts?
Our present forces in Europe are but drop in the
necessary bueSetfuL
The preiers of England France and Italy have Just
issued demand upon US for more and more food.
The antiGerman belligerents have less ship tonnage
than year ago.
To supply million of men in Europe would
require the service of from four to seven mil
lions of tonnage.
The U-boats destroying shipping at the rate of
FIVE to million tons annually
Our experts say that the best we can do under
plans and prospects, is to construct about four
millions Of tonnage this year And in ten months we
haven't put ono ton of new shipping into the service
Ships in time has always been our war problem II
IS more so today than before, because we have
wasted time
Today, We find that we need 10000 shipbuilders

A wise old street car conductor once COM
mented on the class of patronage on his line. He
said: "The works on the o'clock, the clerks
on the eight o'clock and the shirks on the nine
o'clock"
About midway between the hours of eight and
nine yesterday morning passenger found amuse-
mcnt in watching two young women who, in quite
audible tones, informed the others on the car that
at seems SO funny to be up carly" They made
clerks. They were the idle daughters of the idle
rich, and they wanted everybody to know it.
They were handsomely gowned and bored We
might have sympathized with the one who la
mcnted the loss of her beauty sleep, but we didn't
She forfeited all admiration by her anxiety to
have the others on the car know that she was
not working girl
Then we began to feel sorry for the girl who
is not working girl Every morning as we see
this grand army of American girlhood jauntily
marching to her desk we feel proud that men
and women have such splendid daughters and
that brothers in the trenches have such magnificent
sisters.
And when think of the beauty-sleep brigade
yawning their bored mornings through until they
may meet Percy at the nut-sundae fountain we
realize what wealth of useful war material is
being wasted. Indeed we think selectiye draft
of the girl slackers would produce an element that
would help in this Everybody should help,

Bring Out That Amendment!

The United States Senate is keen to play little, nasty
peanut politics but it's different when it comes to hand
ling political measure upon which the nations sin
cerity and honesty as genuine democracy depend.
We refer to the burial of the equal suffrage amend
ment in that body Weeks ago, the House voted for
submission of that amendment but it has hardly been
mentioned in the Senate since. But there has been
plenty of Senatorial bowling for sacrifice and labor by
the women to further the nations business
How can we consistently and conscientiousy engage
in bleeding and paying for of equal rights and
liberty in other nations when nation is half
free and half save?" And isn't the hypocrisy of the
thing emphasized by the fact that highest legisla
tive body has gone to sleep the question of free
dom or slavery? If the women of this country who
called upon to work. sacrifice and suffer for democ
racy should become as foolish and indifferent the
