LET'S Not Be Foolish
kansas City Starl

Justice Clark of the Supreme Court
tells the American Bar Association
that after the war the German peo-
pie, "chastened as they will be in
spirit and in purpose, shall be in
vited to share in a just, even in a
generous. peace"
Let's not be foolishly senti-
mental. The German Ambassador at
Constantinople told Ambassador
Morgenthau that Germany had lost
this war and would at once begin
elaborate preparations for the next
1t is quite possible to conceive OF
a generous peace" that would inn
press the German people with the
idea that the United States is an easy
mark and that would invite them to
get ready for another try at world
domination.

JUST AN INCIDENT
IKansas City Starr


The agreement by which July /,
1919, has been decided on as the date
when national war time prohibition
is to become effective was reached
by congressional leaders almost
without public notice. The leaders
themselves appeared to make less
fuss over it than we have known
them to make over a motion to ad-
journ.
If brewery stocks fell or showed
agitation we didn't notice it. If busi-
ness was shocked no evidence of it
was observed. The banks made no
preparations to weather a storm and
farmers were not heard wondering
where they would be able to sell their
grain. In fact, if we may judge from
the plainest indications, booze will
have no mourners when it passes and
the country will go along w'.h its
business, which is making war, with
out even stopping to celebrate the
event.
The calmness with which we now
contemplate these great changes in
our national life is easily understood,
of course. The war has so obliterated
our former standards of comparison
that things that before seemed large
are now made very small to our
vision. Tossing the whisky bottle into
the junk pile is the merest incident
to a people that has seen two or
three million of its population
shoulder guns and march to war;
that has one-quarter of a million
miles of railroad ass from private
to government control overnight;
that has spent fifty million dollars a
day for more than a year without a
protest from any quarter.
The Nation has dedicated itself TO
the winning of the war. Nothing else
counts. Whatever 1t does it does to
help win 1t, and whatever 1t refrains
from doing is with the same object.
Public opinion had come to be con-
vinced that prohibition would help
v:n the war. and after that booze
never had a chance

The quietude of last Sunday en-
phasizes the need of strict enforce

Mayor Keister and the police depart

people generally will commend their
efforts in this direction. Let the
strong hand of the law come down on

DEMOCRATS HOPELESS

"HE Democratic party is a small
factor in Pennsylvania poll
tics this year, interest in
to-day's gathering being chiefly
confined to the road-roller meth
ods of which the Palmer wing
will crush out the ambitions of
the Bonniwell faction for control of
the State Committee. Nobody is pay
ing much attention these days to
purely political quarrels or debates,
particularly when they are between
individuals or groups intent only
upon their own advantage or aggran-
dizement.
The Democrats have no thought of
winning this year. The best they can
hope for is to prevent Bonniwell and
his Fair Play party from crowding
the regular organization into third
place. As a peace party the Demo
Gratis never amounted to much in
Pennsylvania; as a war party they
are hopelessly divided. without COM
mon platform or policy and content
to vent their energies in petty bick-
ering while the nation fights for its
existence. 1t is a pretty spectacle.

set off and march about the streets

is not cheer and hardly a hand

FRANCES JOAN OF THE FORGE

I can give you no better interpreta- tion of the character of French wom- anhood than to attempt to visualize what will always remain in my mem ory as the most touching sight have vet seen in the war. It was in the devastated region where the Hun had left trail of ruined towns, blackened forests and despoiled land in his wake.
 I was on my way back from the front, chilled and depressed by the horizon of waste that hemmed me in. Suddenly I heard a steady hammering "a strange sound it was in the midst of such desolation-and no loneliness is quite so utter as the solitude of the ravaged places. l stopped my car, got out and walked toward a dllapl- dated house-the only structure with four walls that remained in what was once thriving hamlet. When l reach ed the spot this is what l saw:
 A woman stood at an improvised anvil, beating out a horseshoe. Her husband, as I learned, had been a blacksmith. He had fallen in battle and she wore his uniform. A child played at her feet while the sparks flew upward. All she had in the world save this mite of humanity and the ruins of her home, had been wiped out by the war. Even the roof above her head was wrecked. Yet she kept to the task that had once sustained her. Between the strokes of her ham mer I could hear the boom of the far away guns, sounding like the doom notes in the last act of Aida. It was a thrilling and unforgettable contrast.

THOSE THIN ARMY BLANKETS

The following bit of soldier dog gerel. inclosed in a letter from France, is said to be popular among members of the American expeditionary forces: I'm here with my army blankets, z As thin as a slice of ham, A German spy, I think, was the guy Who made 'em for Uncle Sam. How do I sleep? Don't kid me; My bedtick is filled with straw, And Jumps and humps and big fat
 bumps
 That punch me until I'm raw. Me and my two thin blankets, As thin as my last thin dime, As thin, I guess, as a chorus girls
 dress,
 Well, I have one heck of time. I pull lem up from the bottom (My nighties are B. V. D.'s) A couple of yanks to cover my shanks And then my tootsies freeze. You could use them for porous plas-
 ters,
 Or maybe to strain the soup, My pillows my shoe when l try to

John Carver had climbed Mont Blanc, had seen the moon rise over the Tai Mahal at Agra, and the sun rise over the Himalayas at Darjiling; he had shot tigers in the country north of Delhi, and lions in Rhodesia; he had wintered at Nice and spent a summer on the Trondhjem ford. His family had been American for ten gen. erations, but he had never been west of Des Moines, Iowa. So when the train de luxe pulled out of Kansas City he was in unknown country. There was little in the first days journey to inveigle him from the d'Artagnan romance that he was des- ultorily reading. When Carver awoke next morning it was to view the lofty mesas, precipitous buttes, and sinuous arroyos of New Mexico. All day he travelled through this desolate but yet fascinating region, stopping for short intervals at picturesque Albuquerque on the Rio Grande, or at some desolate Indian village, where the aborigines, gaunt and stolid, came from their adobe houses to sell pottery.
 The third morning found the train climbing the high grade northward from the main line, through the heart of the Coconino forest. By nine the Grand Canyon of the Colorado was reached. Carver walked up short flight of steps from the station, and stood upon the brink of the Titan of Chasms. Before him stretched the world as it appeared upon the third day of creation, vast, chaotic empire chiseled from the plateau by the dilu-

FOOD SAVING
 SHOWS FEBRUARY GAINS

Food Administrator Timothy A Riordan gives out the amount of food saving in the state for the month of February, which shows excellent re- suits. The saving of beef amounted to 2,432 pounds; flour 4O,344 pounds; sugar 16,642 pounds; butter, 4681 pounds, and lard 1O,99O pounds. Mo- have county gives a fairly good show ing in the total, the saving in King man being, meat, 69O, flour 1900, sugar 15O, butter 60, lard 21O. Chlo- ride was the next in saving, report ing that there was 118 pounds meat, 250 pounds flour, 105 pounds sugar, 33 pounds butter and 60 pounds of lard saved. Oatman only reported 200 pounds meats and 200 pounds flour saved during the month. Hack berry was also short on saving. But taken all together the county made a better showing than did Phoenix, with it's larger population.
 It is up to the people to save and then save some more in the protection of the food supply. While we look for ward to excellent crops throughout the country, it may not be amiss to call at tention to the possibility of. raising large amounts of garden truck.

THE INTERPRETATION
 OF MIR. JOHN CARVER

vial waters through aeons of forgot ten time. Over all brooded the still ness of the primeval world.
 Carver, who was a licensed pilot of an aeronautic club, had vertiginous feeling; he seemed to be looking back ten million years into the past of the earth, for he knew that in this rain less, frostless region the erosive forces of nature, save only the river itself, are so held in abeyance, that the pa leolithic autochthones of the south west must in their dull, simian fashion have looked out over this selfsame scene. Then he turned back to the hotel, where, at least man, was mea- surable quantity.
 He saw the canyon again just be- fore sundown, saw there chiaroscuro such as Rembrandt could not adum- brate. He watched the sun go down and the stars come out, watched the canyon fade into the ghoulish haunt of some implacable chlothonian diety. He saw the canyon at sunrise, saw pin nacle and peak grow rosy with the first sunbeam, saw the bulwarks of shadow driven into the furthest re- cesses. He saw the canyon when di- aphanous cumuli lowered in the side canyons, bringing the sky to earth, joining the terrestrial world to the empyrean.
 He had planned to stay a week; he stayed a year, and when he left it was by the shortest route to Yellow stone Park. The cosmopolite had re- verted to an American.
