tent factor that brought about the defeat of the Huns! would have been lacking. The American government insisted on supreme council that would map out the course of ac- ton of all the allied forces and resources. Out of this grew the one-lnan control of the armies, thus unifying the purpose of all the fighting forces opposed to the Germans and rendering it highly efficient. And the results of this justified the insistence of the Ameri- cans that it be adopted from the time that they entered the war. The influence of the American way of doing things was felt from that time on and was the one thing that help ed most of all in accomplishing the defeat and downfall of the imperial government.
 And now when America seeks to honor the brave French generals that have striven so nightly in the battle against the world they take turn about and try to show one of the important causes of the allied vic tory They are willing to place the credit where it should go and want Amerlca to come in for its share of the glory that is due for the victory over the central powers.
 America honors them, but they also honor America, and by their attitude, they show how the allied nations as whole, and France regard the United States-the power that saved them from the force that threatened to entirely overrun them.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

A movement has been started to bring all the rulers, who can be held responsible for the war, to trial to answer for their actions and their crimes against the world. A resolu- tion has been proposed and brot up in the French Chamber of Deputies that provides for the bringing to trial of all former rulers connected with the war, and for their extra dition from the neutral countries where they have sought refuge. This is the beginning of the movement that will probably terminate with a day of judgment for those leaders who brot about the fearful war that has shaken the world to its very foundations.
 From this will doubtless grow a de mand on the part of all the allied nations that the refugees be expelled from the countries where they are now staying, and be brot to answer for their crimes against society," It will doubtless include the former kaiser, the former emperor of Austria Hungary, the former ruler of Bulgaria, the Sultan of Tur- key, and then the lesser royalty of both Ger many and Austria Hungary.
 It is right and fitting that trey should be brot to justice, for it wa their influence, their intrigue and misuse of power that led to the conyulsion of war that has just been concluded It was the ambitions of this class Ol pCOplC llldl LII Ut dDOul lHC COlulllOllS lIldl plunged the world into the conflict and ter rife struggle now at an end.
 Especially is it right and proper in the case of the kaiser, who cherished his dream of world domination, of divine right, and be- cause of these dreams misused the power that was his and led his people to their final downfall
 What the sentence will be that the judges will pronounce upon these remnants of a powerful system of oppression, is hard to conjecture. That it will be severe goes without saying but that it will also be just and untinged with hatred is to be expected If the thot and thirst for vengeance should outweigh justice, then, even though defeated the Hun could claim the victory, for the world would be Prussianized, in that it adopt the methods of the Huns themselves.
 Justice should be meted out to those who are held responsible for the horrors of the war, but it should be pure justice, handed out by clear thinking, broadminded men, who are thoroughly aware of the situation that con- fronts them and who will not be influenced by any inflamed opinions of prejudiced and biased individuals who have absorbed the hatred of the Huns and would wreak dire vengeance upon them.

AMERICA HONORS THEM

Since the armistice has been. declared, General Pershing has conferred the American Distinguished Service Medal upon two of the prominent generals of the western front, Gen. eral Joffre and General Foch. In presenting them, the American commander said that he conferred the medal in the name of the Amer ican government and the American army, as a representation of the respect, admiration and gratitude that America felt toward them both Both generals appreciated the action on the part of the American commander, and General Foch's reply give an interesting side-light upon the exact state of affairs in France dur ing the last days of the war. '+:~.>
 He said in part, that he would never for get the tragical day last March when General Pershing placed the entire American army and resources at his command, and that the suc- cesses in the fighting that followed this move were due, to large extent, to the American army conception of organization and com mand. In other words, the American way of doing things was largely responsible for the victorious conclusion of the war; that after the American commanders and men came upon the, scene their influence was so marked that the policy of the entire fighting forces in the west was changed until it brot a glorious victory out of what nearly ap- preached defeat.
 This is quite true, for if it had not been for the American insistence on central control General Foch would not have been placed in command of all the allied forces, and the po-
