A CHANGE OF FRONT

A rev weeks ago the mass Of the Nonparttsan league
membership in the state were firmly convinced that It
would take a majority Of all the votes cast at the election
to carry the proposed constitutional amendments which
were submitted. The league papers insisted on this in
depreciation of the law. They quoted the clauses which
applied and pointed out that it would not do for q voter
al the election to neglect to vote on the amendments ne
cause failure to vote would be equivalent to a vote in the
negative. The same thing was urged by speakers on many
a PLATFORM, and in Instructions to voters sent out from
league headquarters. The membership believed all this,
IN most OF the members voted for the amendments.
amendments received more favorable votes than
were cast against them. They did not receive a majority
OF the votes cast at the election, which is what the con-
sttutlon says they must receive, and which is what all the
league authorities declared to be necessary q few. u,e-.s
ago. But the bosses have changed front, and, without ex-
planation or apology, they have abandoned their former
position. They now maintain that a majority of all me
votes cast Is not necessary. and that the person not votins
is not in effect voting in the negative.
The members generally believed what was told them
IN the first place. Will they believe the exact opposite
now that 1t is told them by the same people? Thew will
Just watch them.

EXTENDING REDEMPTION PERIOD

Ihere is in circulation a report to the effect that at
the forthcoming state legislative session legislation will 90
proposed with league backing extending the period for
after the foreclosure of mortgages on real es-
tate from one year, as now provided, to three years.
10 all 1ntents and purposes the same result could be
reached oS a provision that when one has borrowed money
on real estate he need never pay it back. The effect OF
such a provision would, of course, be to cause people
within or without the state to refuse to loan money an
real estate mortgages in this state. And the effect . = thu
extension Of the exemption period would be practica1Jv
the same.
Provisions of this kind work most severely against
the borrower who needs for his immediate use all the
money that he can borrow on his land. If an elen,en, of
uncertainty or delay in the matter of payment is intro
duced, either the owner finds it impossible to borrow at
all, or he is unable to borrow except in very small suns

many needs food from us. But, before we undertake
to do anything Of the sort, we should have a clear under
standing of just what Germany's food needs are, and
that understanding cannot be reached by listening to any
Of the walls that come from German sources. 1t makes
no difference whether the pitiful appeals for food are
made by DIR. Solf. who seems to be an adept at that sort

dent, they should all be ignored.
Quite reliable authorities assure US that there is

is a fact that certain Of the German people are on the

LEGALIzlNG WAR CONTRACTS

Following the recommendation of the secretary Of
war already made, General Goethals urges congress to
enact legislation legalizing war contracts amounting to
many millions which, in their present state, are without
such authority.
The status Of those contracts was first brought to
public attention through the action of the comptroller i'll
refusing to pay bills arising out of the cancellation Of
certain war contracts shortly after the signing of the
armistice. Vast quantities of materials for which AZ
rangements had been made by the war department would
not be needed, and it was desired, on the part of the gov
eminent. to determine the contracts under which they
were being manufactured. 1t was apparent that in many
cases these contracts could not be abruptly cancelled
without both depriving the manufacturers of the profit
which they had expected to make, and which they had
a right to make, provided the profit was within reason,
and involving the manufacturer in actual loss. For this
reason Secretary Baker proposed in certain cases to allow
the manufacturers sums in excess of the fact of their
contracts in order that they might derive reasonable
profit as the result of their transactions with the govern
ment.
This plan came to grief at the hands Of the comp
troller, who made the point that he had no authority to
make payments for which there was no legal authority.
and that there was no legal authority for the liquidatng
Of contracts in this manner. In the discussion it devel-
oped that very large quantities Of the material which
was being provided for government use was being manu-
featured or obtained without contracts at all. At least.
1t was maintained that the arrangements for the fur
nishing of much of this material were such that they did
not constitute legal contracts.
We must go back to the fact that the country was
in a hurry. It needed a lot of stuff, and it needed it at
once. If all the formalities which ordinarily surround
the making of government contracts had been observed
the war would have been over, one way or the other, a
generation or two before the United States could ge.
ready to fight. Apparently there were some people in
charge of affairs with sense and imagination enough to
understand this, and they acted accordingly. They pro-
ceeded to get goods, and to get them in the quickest way
possible. If a major general were not present to sign
a formal contract, a captain or a lieutenant signed a
memorandum, and the wheels were set in motion. Mil
lions of dollars worth of goods were ordered by tele-
phone, with as little formalty as pertains when the lady
Of the house orders a roast for dinner.
The fair thing to do is to make provision for the
legalization of all of these arrangements and understand
ings which were entered into in good faith, anG to pro-
vide for the liquidation of all of them as may be desired,
on a basis which will be alike fair to the government and
the private interests affected.

WHAT HE LEARNED.

WHAT HE LEARNED. .
IT learned this over there" said a
soldier lad to me,
..That the general and the private are
as like as they a be:
And though one is giving orders and
the other one obeys,
There'd be no such thing as freedom
if they pulled in separate ways.
The thing that counts in battle is a
centralized control
With everybody: in it set to. reach a
ommon goal. s,
1.-THE general wasn't lighting just be-
cause he loved to fight;
He'd the everlasting notion that his
country's cause was right.
The Flag that waved above us meant
as much to him as me,
And the thing that he was after
wasn't fame. but victory.
And / came to understand It,, that
beneath the shoulder straps
And the markings on the tunic, We
were ordinary chaps.
HE was thinking of his children in
the way 1 thought Of mine,
He was wondering where men went
to when death took them from
the line.
oh, I don't know how to tell it. but
down underneath the skin
We were all alike in Flanders, with
a common goal to win.
And we just forgot our notions and
our separate ranks and creeds
And worked and pulled together, and
that's all a nation needs.
IT learned this over there" said q
soldier lad to me,
THAT the general and the private
are as like as they can be,
And when people come to know it
when they learn that every
man
Wants to win his way to Heaven and
to do the best he can
They'll just work and pull together
for the glory of the soul,
And be one united army marching to-

SALVACING U-BOAT
VICTIMS
(Robert G. Skerrett in the Saturday
Evening PoSt.)

(Robert G. Skerrett in the Saturday
Evening Post.)
Within the last few months the
United States has become represented
in the joint salvage council Of the AL
lies and we are ready to do u full
share in the field of maritime wreck
ing.
Besides sending to Europe some of
the best of our civilian and naval sal
wage experts we have equipped and
dispatched a number Of vessels that
are uniquely outfitted for the speedy
and effective handling Of damaged
or sunken ships. These boats have
reached their appointed stations over
there.
We have pooled our skill and
and are now actively cooperating
with the salvage department of the
British admiralty.
The opinion holds abroad that it
would not be commercially prac-
ticable to undertake salvage work at
a greater depth than 100 feet; and
yet American divers have gone down
into the frigid inky gloom Of a
~foundered ship 100 feet below the
surface and have recovered from her
some tons of mail pouches, a large
quantity of silver bullion and the
purser's safe. To do this they had
to cut through the upturned steel side
of the vessel and to follow a slanting,
goal in the very bowels Of the craft.
Performances on the part Of Jul
people mean that salvage operations
over there may be carried out sue
c~essfully on deeply sunken ships,

The fundamental reason for this
widened operative one on the part
compressed air drawn from storage

hand driven pumps, which at times
are dangerously uncertain. Further.
with an ample and unfailing flow Of
his vital element assured, it is now
possible for the diver to control his
air supply to a nicely, and to meet
confidently the changing require
ments of his more or less hazardous
environment.
Finally, as a result of experiments
made by the bureau Of medicine and
surgery of our navy department. it
has been found practicable and safe
to reduce considerably the length of
time a diver must remain in the wa
ter when coming up. from a deep
descent in order to bring about a re-
adjustment of certain physical condi-
tons induced by the compressed air
he has breathed. BY the prompt use
Of the decomposition chamber, one Of
which is on each of our salvage boats,

prevented and the aftermath Of still
grave bodily reactions effectually OFF,
set.
With our men collaborating with
the English and French experts.
there Is good reason to believe that
1918 will prove a bumper wear in neu-
tralizing the grim activities of the
kaiser's U-boats.

(By Theodosia Garrison Of The Vigil
lantes.)
One day a traveller came to a viii
lage green upon which a number Of
citizens stood in a discouraged and
exhausted fashion about a flag pole.
And who are these men?" asked the
traveller.
"They are patriotic citizens" he was
told, who are trying to raise the
flag to the top of the pole. Each one,
however, has his wi method of rope
pulling and though they are very
strong and determined to raise the
flag and though, as you can see, each
one is putting all his strength in the
work, nothing seems to happen. We
spectators are afraid that they will
spend so much time in argument that
the flag will v be raised at all"
This is very interesting" said the
traveller. =

said the traveller, "in. the meantime let

With much distrust his suggestion
was acted upon, the flag went swiftly
to the top Of the pole and opened
gloriously above the cheering popu-
lace.
The patriots wiped their, heated
brows and looked at each other.
