MODEST WILHELM

From the New York Telegram.
 Among recent utterances of the Kaiser were these:
 "As look upon myself as an instru- ment of the Lord, am indifferent to the point of view of the present day.
 The King holds his power by the grace of God to whom alone is he re- sponsible. He chooses his own path and only decides his actions from this point of view.
 There is only one master in this coun- try; I am he. and will not tolerate another.
 There is only one law-my law-the law which I myself lay down.
 'The foreigner has learned the conse- quences of offending the German Eni- peror.
 Tt Is the soldier and the army, not parliamentary majorities that votes. that have welded the German empire to- gether.
 sWe are now in a position to raise the visor of our helmet and to look with the fearless eyes of a courageous Ger man at any one who may block the path we have mapped out for ourselves"
 We print these few remarks thinking perhaps that Herr Hohenzollern may de- sire to revise them.

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

Funny how a man isn't ashamed to be caught in a raid on a kaif on Sun day the way he would be ashamed if he was caught attending a prohibition meeting.
 Don't worry if your conduct isn't perfect. If 1t is little better than it has been you're doing well.
 What has become of the old-fash- toned shark who could make living playing pool?
 A man may wink at Dame Fortune when he nets her. But he never winks at Misfortune when he meets her.
 We, know a whole lot of sovereign citizens and whoopers-up for personal liberty who have to sit out in the back yard when they want to chew tobacco because their wives won't let them have spittoon in the house. After you rubber around for while you will notice that tha pretty gir,a get all the compliments and the home ly girls get all the husbands If every married woman had her way the average dwelling house would consist of eight rooms and 80 closets Every time you start to abuse man you hate the betting Is 10000 to that you can't stick to the truth. Before he is married a man realizes that 1t is impossible to please every body. And after he gets married he realizes that it is impossible to please anybody.
 Keep your nose clean and don't let the knockers worry you, Remember that no matter how respectable you may be they are going to lie about you. anyway.
 A man doesn't marry girl because he thinks he will be happy with her. He selects her because he thinks nc won't be happy without her.

their old jobs back or be promoted to better ones The chairmen of eighty eight draft boards and representatives of the Illinois Manufacturers asso- citation and the Association of Com merce will cooperate for this pur- pose. When the men are mustered out at the port of debarkation they will be given transportation to Chi cago and put to work.
 Other large cities in the United States will no doubt take this means of showing their appreciation for what our soldiers have done in France and our sailors on the sea. It should not be difficult for any man bearing an honorable discharge from the army or navy to find employment. He is en- titled to a respectful hearing any where he may care to present himself and he will not be turned down.
 The problem of what is to be done with thousands of women who are now doing mems work remains to be solved. However. those who are no longer compelled to earn livelihood or assist in supporting families whose fathers and brothers went to war, will probably be glad to return to their former status, while those who are self-supporting can be taken care of in the readjustment of the nations industrial life.

1.-THE GREAT ARMY THAT DIED.

From the New forK world.
 Those were noble words Premier
 Clemenceau uttered in the French Chamber of Deputies as the cheering
 subsided after the reading of the terms of the armistice: Let us honor the great army that died" In that moving phrase he spoke the inmost feelings not only of millions of French men and women but of the peoples If all the allied nations that shared in winning the war.
 It is time for universal rejoicing ! that the shedding of blood on the bat tlefields of Europe has ceased. It Is also time for reverent tribute to tho
 men who gave their lives that the right
 should prevail. They have made tho supreme sacrifice. To them has been denied the reward of joining in the final triumph and exultation over vic | tory. They have passed beyond reach of pealing peace bells, of the voices ot l loving friends and kindred and the touch of hands they held dear. But they, too, wear the victor's
 crown. though they failed to see the hour of ultimate victory. They have | bequeathed to those left behind the glory and the. honors.
 ! In the men who return from the
 wars we shall show our pride, but witt, 1 Premier Clemenceau. may we never | forget to honor "the great army that died"

Paris, and thither the various German armies marched, leaving the landwehr, which could not be ordered to serve be- yond the limits of Germany, to hold Al sace and Lorraine, already considered part of the fatherland. but let us hope and pray soon to be restored to France with proper indemnities. The Prussians did not reach Paris till September l9, 1870. two weeks after the surrender of Sedan.
 Now I do not know how long it will take the allies to march to Berlin, for do not know how open is the road, but have perfect confidence that if it becomes necessary to do so to get sure enough dictated peace that General Foeh will before long be marching with his victorious armies down through Berlins famous street to rest~under the shadow of Potsdam castle, now free from the presence of the last trace of the Hohen- zollerns.
 Let us hope that further bloodshed VIII not be necessary, but that the German neople. awake from their dream Of mill

THE SAGE INHERITANCE

From the New York World.
 The list of associations and lnsttu-
 tions which are to take benefits under
 the will of Mrs Russell Sage is inter-
 esting. The institutional bequests are
 in each case generous. But the really
 impressive testamentary fact is the ol- rect giving away for public uses of $40, ,oO0,000 or fourfifths of the estate left by the decedent.
 Of the 48 states in the union, only New York reaches $40,000,000 in the amount of it's annual revenue. Penn sylvania, swith something more than S34,000,0Oo for the year 1916. came nearest to the Empire States s46,Ooo,- 900. The debt interest and other an- nual charges upon Argentina are less than S37,000,060 upon Canada $2o,- s4s,c00 upon Portugal sS5,6sb.ooo. Even
 Japan met its debt dues in 1916 with less than se0.0oo.o0o. One perceives from a list of world statistics how n prosperous state or group of small CT nations can be run efficiently for year on less than this beneficient $40,00o, 900.
 The Sage estate was free from the claims of descendant heirs. Such per sonal bequests as are provided for i'll the final will are to go to friends, servants and relatives out of the inn mediate line. Advocates of the prac- tical abolition of inheritance will find l in the disposal of this great fortune,
 nevertheless, an argument to their l mind.
 Having served the years of the house l to which 1t accumulated, the mass of the Sage wealth is redistributed; its component dollars, coming originally from the people will draw portions of
 good. To the $4o.o00,oo awarded by last will and testament in this in- stance, moreover, must be added the | s25.o00.ooo given away by Mrs. Sage while she lived So there completes itself a rare record of faithfulness in | trusteeship of great wealth.

GERMANY AS TT IS

From the New York Evening Sun.
 TIT was Artemus Ward who gave /the
 sage advice: Don't never prophecy,
 S onless you know" Predictions as to
 what may come out of the German mess
 are worse than futile, with our present knowledge but 1t is worth while to look at the various components of the witches broth now brewing, so far as we can distinguish them, and there may emerge some suggestions as to the future, though
 quite as likely as not it may "all come different"
 l It is fairly clear that four distinct groups, more or less organized or in course of formation, can be singled out, with a fifth looming behind them, as yet wholly unorganized. First we have the red socialists apparently in power, with Ebert at their head. They repre- sent many shades of the social democ-
 racy-they expressly recognize four sub-
 diy isions among themselves-ranging in ideals from the uttermost depths of pure bolshevikism, or anarchy. up to those | who have some rationally constructive in- tent. But alr agree in excluding, with final emphasis, any participation by eith-
 or the, bourgeois or the old aristocraey. They will have none of the junker or land owner; still less will they admit the bourgeois, the shopkeeper, small mer- chant or manufacturer; and they shy" at even the skilled mechanic. It is a truly red group now in some power. Secondly, there are srgns of the coales- cence of purely soldier group aVart
 from the reds. There are dispatches Ireoounting, from several points. that the
 soldiers have .rformuleted their demands"
 and submitted them-not to Herr Ebert
 but to their former commanders, even to Hindenburg himself. Have we here the Vague beginnings of a praetorian

, guard, potential maker of dctatorships? If there be Napoleon at hand he could sweep everything before him, unless for- eign force restrained him.
 Thirdly. there is the very powerful group of bankers and capitalists, whose | principal headquarters is Frankfort. It was this group that actually gave the coup de grace to the Kaiser. They were willing and eager to follow the junkers 1 so long as the future footing of Asia remained a possibility. When that van- | ished they turned away, expecting to
 make a better bargain with the allies. 1 They are willing to aid the ultimate win- ner, in any case, but have no love for the reds
 1 The fourth distinct group IS the old
 military, land owning aristocracy. at present eclipsed and out of it, but still strong and in no mood to give up. The l land still is theirs, and the old traditions O. obedience to them are not dead, but could be revived in flash if they were to return to power.
 Beyond and separate from each and all l of these groups is the moderately well to do bourgeois. He is not organized as the others are,- or may be. He IS not represented in the other camps to any effect and is likely to be the help less victim of each or all in turn. Prob ably he prefers the junker to the red or to a purely military power. | Given all these elements. with things in a state of .flux, but one point is certain, and that is that there is as yet. no promise whatever of any stability of government It constitutes the most difficult problem presented to a peace conference, and it is greatly to be hoped that We shall not be hurried into a pre- | mature dealing with a Germany still in
 a state of such, chaos.

Preparing for Baptists

We are hoping for great session or the Alabama Baptist convention at East Lake. which convenes on December 5, said President John c. Dawson of How ard college, who will be the host of the body.
 "The flu situation is clearing and the people of the valley from East Lake down to the viaduct are getting ready to entertain the delegates and the visi- tors. The programme is exceptionally strong for this year, and 1t will give the Baptists and their friends of other denominations a chance to hear some of our most distinguished men. The public Is cordially invited to all of the ses- sions."

When War Headlines
 Are Things of the Past.
x x x

1E OR more than four years the 4 newspapers and magazines of America have been filled with war articles and war pictures. When America entered the struggle more space was devoted to telling about what our government and our fight ing men were doing to put quietus on the Hun.
 Now that the war is over, it may puzzle the average reader to discover what the newspaper men, the maga- zine writers and an army of photog- raphers representing both branches of the publishing business will find to write about and to photograph. There need be no uneasiness on that score. The world is always crammed full of news, although it must be conceded that never before have there been so many "big stories" to "break." in such rapid succession, particularly during the last few months of the war, when events destined to influence pro- foundly the future of the human race were of almost daily occurrence.
 For considerable period there will continue to be momentous happen ings both at home and abroad to chronicle. We may have an army in Europe for at least two more years. With so many European nations in a fluid state, there will be plenty of work for the correspondents and there may be some tremendous upheavals before order and stable government succeed to the chaos now prevailing in many parts of the old world.
