 Rare is the person who is not capa- ble of reaching conclusions and the conclusions we reach have everything to do with our. character building and our material success. An excellent initiatory conclusion is that "every- thing in this world that is worth hav- ing is worth working hard for" About the worst conclusion one can reach is this: "The world owes me a. living and it has got to provide it" In these two conclusions you find the generator of energy and the depressor of it. Life is not indebted to man, but man is indebted to life: and what we can make of life and from it is the evil dence of our capacity.

THE COAL SUPPLY.

Many promises have been made by the fuel administration during the past two years. Optimism has not been lacking but there have been nu- meroua instances where the prom ises were not kept because of various easons which were subsequently given, though it is hard to understand why those very things were not known at the time the promises were made.
 But in view of the added experience which has been had and the improve ment in many conditions, there seems to be no reason at the present time why the fuel administrator should not be so thoroughly informed upon all details in connection with the coal supply of the country that he could speak with certainty, and not be up- set by later revelations when he says We are ready for an unusually se- were winter, with stocks of coal on hand far in excess of the stocks Of other years"
 It is to be hoped that Nil. Garfield is not attempting to pose as a wea- = ther prophet in that statement, but it is certainly good news to be informed that stocks of coal in excess of other years are available. This gives the impression, and that is inc impres- sion which it is undoubtedly intended to convey. that there is no danger of < fuel famine if proper use is made of the supply. and certainly the short age which has existed ought to be sufficient to teach a lesson in the matter of overcoming waste MT. Gar field doesn't tell us that we can be wasteful and still have enough for all for ke has a right to demand con- servation and knows at the same tima that the price is bound to be effec- .ive to that end

BAKING THE NEWs

That the country was set aflame by the false report 10 the effect that Ger 1anN had signed the armisuee terms Of the allies is fully evidenced by the reports Of the celebrations which took place. The demonstrations were ike wise pretty good evidence of the de- sire Of the people for the ending of the war if if can ba ended now under the terms set forth by the armistice which must Of necessity be as strong i not stronger than those exacted of ne other central powers, and which would leave Germany powerless to re- sume the war and which therefore amounts to about the same thing as surrender
 But it cannot help being felt that inc country was taken advantage of ii most unjust manner by the news service which was responsible for the wholly incorrect inferrnat tion and which gives indications of being gi- Tant'c piece of guesswork put forth for the purpose of setting up the claim that 1t was the first agency to give the news to the world That such T claim can still be made cannot he questioned but the only trouble with t Is that the alleged news was not so other words everything about ,t vas wrong. and a strange feature is connection with it is that inasnuo,, s.s he people are desirous of havins Germany down on its knees as tht -eport Indicated it was. it was next tt impossible to get the people where the celebrations were going on to believ. he truth regarding the matter ever .hough put forth by the government

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Poland is now getting a chance to understand what the alluring German promises were worth.
 The man on the corner says: Deg- tiny has been rolling up a big score in the last few weeks.
 Hindenburg is of course using ex- cerlent discretion in not stating where he is going to eat his Christmas din ncr this year
 Getting to General Fooh's quarters and terms was a hard road for the reutonic delegation to travel in more ways than one.
 The Germans are retreating so fast that they are likely to ger dizzy from the, speed with which they must be passing the telegraph poles. It is of course time for the national republican committee to extend vote of thanks to the president for having lreconvened politics when he did. # Berlin fears bolshevikism ii should realize that it's best chance for avSiG4ng it lies in getting peace rather than in continuing the war.

 Though it may have escaped the at tention of the democrats, it is a no ticeable fact that the Germans hay been retreating faster than ever sine the republican victory on Tuesday.

GERMANY MUST ACCEPT.

Germany is making progress toward the action which it must take in order 10 bring about the end of the war at this time. Having been told that it must apply to General Toch for the terms of the armistice whch it sought, it has despatched a delegation for such a purpose. The request has been made. the terms have been given and Germany is allowed 72 hours in which to accept or refuse them
 How long # will take no one knows but whether it comes within A hours ar the whole 72 are used in deliherat- i1g there can he little or TO question but what lt will result in an accent ance. The situation is such that Ger many can do nothing else It was anxious to have hostilities cease on the receipt of the terms but the re- quest must have been made with the belief that it would be denied. for fioruary knows that the allies are not inclined 10 give il any rest.
 And what is decidedly important is the notice given to the Teutonic dele- gates that there can be no hagglinc ever the terms. They have been fixed and are to be accepted or refused iusr IS they stand. Even if they may be stiT what different had Germany to expect? That country has been de- serted by it's allies. it is threatened with a revolution al home. there have oeen serious detection in tho navy, The impoesibility Of stopping the all lied advance is fully understood. Ger man territory is due for invasion from the west if not from the south. the epirit of the fighting men is broken and Germany knows that the jig is up. There is nothing for it to do but tn surrender through acceptance of Inc arnistice terms and begin to meet the conditions which are imposed thereby. To continue tha war can in no way profit Germany. The longer it tries 10 stick if out the greater is the burden which it is piling up against itself. It is therefore to it's advantage 10 get out of the war on the terms which have been offered it-the best if can hope to get-and it cannot be seen how Germany can look at it any other way No one knows better than Ger many that it has reached the end of its rope.

THE LOSS OF SEDAN.

Although the Americans have not as yet captured the whole of Sedan, the gains which have been made there are none the less significant, for they show that it is impossible for the enemy to hold out against the assaulting tac- ties of the allied forces and that just as surely as they have been driven north along the Mouse they are going 10 be driven out of France and Bel gium if they choose to insist upon such an election.
 aAnd the loss of Sedan. or even part of it Is a sad blow which the Teutons had hoped to prevent. Sedan was the point at which Napoleon III. Surren- dered in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and which event had such an im- portant bearing on the result of. that var, As the result therepf Sedan has

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Appreciation

Mr Editor: The many friends of Miss Annie Fensley, who died at her home Thursday, fully realize that she gave her life for her country with true devotion and patriotism as any of the nurses oversea. She was among the volunteers at Bushnell chapel and her faithfulness in the discharge of her duties was the cause of her death, as she contracted the influenza while there; her courage and devotion to duty were unfailing, and everyone who was in her care or were honored by her friendship were most grateful for her constant cheerfulness and loyalty Hers was a beautiful character May she rest in peace.

meant much to the Germans but even in the present war up to this time the enemy had had pretty much it's own way in that section. It was able to strike at the allies before they were prepared to offset the whirlwind at tack through Belgium so that Sedan had come to be regarded synonymous ly with success from the Teutonic standpoint.
 But that fact did not hold up the de. termined operations of the allies or the Americans in their advance to the west of the Mouse. and the result is that the once powerful German war machine has been badly disabled in that locality and the end is not yet Sedan promises in the present war to bring as bitter memories to the Gers mans as it did joyful ones in the pre- vious ones. At that point it has lost more than territory, while for the al- lies it means the early clearing out Of the enemy from France
