THE BRAVE SONS OF
CORSICA.

St. Joseph (Mo) News-Press
The gallant warriors from the Midi
the chasseurs of the Alps, the blithe
and gay Parisians, the black dew
lis from Africa, the pious, grimly
determined peasantry of Cham
pagne-between these, and the sol
dierS from all other sections of
France, there is little to choose, for
all arc animated by stern and deep
devotion to "la patrie' In the mat
ter OF utter disregard for death, OF
complete forgetfulneSs of self, all
French officers agree that the Corsi-
cans are superior to all other sol
dierS OF France. lmpetuous and
vindictiye, they hate the enemy with
passionate ferocity that blinds
them to aught else. Besides this,
they are intensely proud of the fact
that they come from the land that
produced Napoleon, and cherish
above all else, the recollection of
the military valor OF the greatest OF
Corsicans. To them cowardice is
the greatest of sins, and to falter in
the face OF danger is to win eternal
contempt OF comrades.
The Corsicans have a long and
warlike history, nor is this the fist
time they have fought side by side
with the English. For brief pc
riod in the eighteenth century Cor
sica was under the protection Of
Great Britain, and the people ac-
knowledged George III as their
king. The English occupation con-
tinue dfrom 1913 until 1906 when
Corsica was relinquished to the
French, and confirmed to them by
the treaty of Paris in 1914. Since
then the department of Corse, as
the French call it, has become an
integral part of the republic, which
has no braver nor more devoted
sons than those from the island OF
Napoleon

NO WAR CABINET NEEDED.

The Commoner: The president
is right in opposing the proposed
war cabinet. 1t would be a confes-
sion that his cabinet had broken
down and would give encourage
ment to the enemy. If such a meas
ure passed it would be construed
abroad as a vote OF lack OF conf
dence.
If the critics of the administra-
tion could win such a victory, they
would Immediately insist upon nam
ing the new men, and would con-
strue the vote to mean that the new
men should be taken from among
the critics.
In Great Britain the king must
summon the opposition to form a
cabinet; will the opposition take
the public into its confidence and
suggest the names OF the new cabi.
net.

INTERNATIONAL BOYCOTT
TING.

The threatened trade boycott OF
Germany after the war in case She
refuses to turn democratic, meas
ure suggested to American business
men in referendum OF the Cham
Der Of Commerce OF the United
States, has met with considerable
opposition. \ significant view OF ii
has Just been expressed in an Off
cial statement issued by The Nation
al Association OF Manufacturers.
"rhe economic boycott says
this statement, is an. unwarranted
interference in 4 matter of intcrna-
tional relations which rests with
the president and congress. Fed
eral action with regard to trade re-
lations should not be hampered or
complicated by unofficial agencies
"The creation of boycott as out
lined by the Paris Conference OF
1916 it adds, I'VE believe to be at
variance with the sentiments OF
President Wilson as stated in his
address to congress on April o,
1917
There was a good deal of favor
able talk last year about the inau-
guration OF an allied boycott against
Germany, either by way OF punish
ment or as a means of inSuring her
good behavior hereafter But en-
thusiasm ior the plan is waning.
Leyel-headcd men are coming to
believe that any punitive boycott
would tend to defeat its own pur-
pose. For one thing, how can Ger
many afford to make reparation in
Belgium and elsewhere, in addition
to carrying her enormous war debt,
If the allies make it impossible for
her to do business with the rest OF
the world? For another thing, put
ting the economic screws TO Ger
many would serve to perpetuate her
enmity and hatred, and would be as
prolific a cause OF future trouble as
Alsace-Lorraine has been.
There will, of course, be a wide
spread prejudice against German
roods for many years to come
which will operate as a partial boy
colt. But that will be informal and
uncomfortable, dependent on pri-
vatc preference. AS for a formal.
public boycott, it doesn't seem that
there can be any justification for
that except as a club to hold over
the head of a nation in order to
make it obey international law and
keep the peace.
In such case the necessary ac-
tion, as the manufacturers suggest,
can best be taken by the govern
ment. The American people can
probably trust the authorities at
Washington to handle the matter
properly.

THE NEXT SENATE.

Washington Star: With bright
er chances for capturing the house
they start on even terms with the
Democrats as to that body-the Re
publicans will try also to capture the
senate this year. Their plans are
laid, and are in the hands of expe-
rienced campaigners.
In Georgia, in Missouri and in
Mississippi the senatorial race will
overshadow all other races. That is
to say, the race for the Democratic
nomination will. In Georgia and
Mississippi the nomination will be
equivalent to election. There is no
Republican part yof consequence IN
either state. The Democrats have
everything their own way. All is
settled at the primaries.
in Missouri the situatio mis- differ
ent. Occasionally, the Republicans
are able to SHOW their Democratic
friends. They have elected a gov
ernor. They have controlled St.
Louis, the metropolis OF the state.
They usually have representation in
the house. A few years ago one Of
the most competent of their number
General Warner-Sat in the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Hardwick, Mr.. Nardaman
and Mr.. Stone are candidates to
succeed themselves. Mr.. Hardwick
and Mr., Stone have served in the
house, and Mr.. Stone has served as
governor of his state. Mr.. Varda-
man has served as governor of Mis-
sisSippi. SO all three know the
ropes, and will give their opponents
run for their money.
All three have formidable opposi-
ton, which grows in part out of
their attitude as to certain questions
relating to the war. They have an
tagonized the president in matters
of policy and come under censure
because of the fact.
But, spirited and entertaining as
those contests will be, the RUubli-
cans will have to look elsewhere for
recruits il they are to control the
next senate. They must try their

WOMEN IN OTHER LANDS.

In order that their soldier boys
In order that their soldier BOYS
may have a plentiful supply of Gig
arets thousands OF women in France
have given up smoking.
In Russia the number of males to
females is 9So; in France, 967;
in Germany q; in Italy, 96.5; in
England and Wales, q3T.
Women working in the European
munition factories turn out two
thirds as much work in five and a
half hours as the men do in eleven
hours.
The annual report of the national
war savings committee estimates
that the women of Great Britain
could save $l00000,0O0 a week on
dress alone.
Women are the rulers OF the island
of Iiburon in the Gull of Califor-
MIA, and the men are made to do
all the work and act as servants
to their wives.
More than 100000 women and
girls are now employed by the Prus-
sian state railways, as compared
with fewer than 10000 before the
outbreak OF the war.
An attempt is being made to com
bat the tide OF elaborate dressing
which is sweeping England. Wom-
ans longing for clothes is being
gratited because Of the high wages
paid them in various branches OF
war endeayor.
Women in Japan are being en-
ployed as dockers, and particularly
so at the port of Tsuruga, a half
way point between America and
Petrograd. These women smoke
and wrestle with huge boxes and
packages that often seem certain to
oyertaX their strength.
All kinds of British women smoke
today, and they smoke in all kinds
of places and at all times. They
smoke in all restaurants, even in
those which once displayed the
sign, Ladies must not smoke"
The signs are still there, but they
are smoke-cloudcd. They smoke in
the theatres, in taxicabs, in streets
at night in clubs, in shops, in trains,
in bed, and in the bath.

NEXT WINTERS COAL.

There will be no excuse hereafter
if the American people suffer from
such a coal famine as We have had
this winter. If it happens again, ii
will be a plain penalty OF shittless-
ness and improyidence.
As q big coal man says, "Ihere i
plenty OF unmined coal, labor to
produce 1t. and railroad cars TO haul
all the fuel that is needed But
that i, not all. ii it were, We should
have had plenty Of coal the last four
months. The important part is that
"the orders must come in steady
flow throughout tie year instead OF
in punches in the winter when rall-
road transportation is always i'm
paired by adverse weather.
1t is too much to expect our rail
road system, no matter how its eff
cheney may improve, to carry all the
coal needed by private consumers, in
addition to industrial coal and its
miscellaneous ordinary traffic, dur
ing the most difficult quarter OF the
year. 1t is too much, also, to expect
the mines to produce coal in the
winter three or four times as last as
they do in the summer. No indus
try forced to work SO spasmodically
can work efficiently.
The sensible thing is to keep the
mines working pretty uniformly all
the year round, and let the railroads
haul most of the coal in favorable
weather. That can be done il the
public will do its part.
A campaign is already starting to
get domestic consumers to fill their
coal bins in the summer That is
recognized as the biggest factor in
solving the problem. There will be
cooperation to this end between the
federal state and city fuel directors.
Agitation will begin as early as
April. Coal for next winters use
ought to start pouring into the bins
not later than Iune and continue in
steady stream all summer.
Some OF the delay last year was
due to the slowness Of the federal
government in fixing the price OF
coal That error will not be re
peated. St is expected that the rates
1or next seasons fuel will be eStab-
lished early in April. Then, if the
consumers will take this winters
lesson to heart and do the sensible,
thrifty and patriotic thing, there
will lie no more difficulty. With
their orders out OF the way by the
time cold weather comes, the needs
OF our great industries can be taken
care Of.
