fore We received the two great pieces OF
news of the week-the Kaiser's abdica-
ton, and the signing of the armistice
marking practically the close OF the war,

fruits OF victory the task Of restoring
some degree Of order in Germany dis

anarchy--s problem somewhat like that

Whatever else may come ont OF this
war, one result is certain. Never again
will there be ''neutyal" nation in war,
as the term has heretofore been under
stood. Our definition Of neutrality must
have a revision. We have always gone
on the principle that war between ma
tious Was an affair which other nations
might calmly watch with folded arms
and aloofness. 10 fact, Ii was distinct
ly not our business, or that of any other
nat on, TO mix in az all. Now We know
th It such is the way In which all the
peoples of the earth are bound together,
tba a war between nations is not only
their affair. but the affair OF every other
nation.

Nearly complete returns show that In
the next Congress the Republicans will
have a small majority In the Senate, and .
majority of about forty In the House.
The two prominent features of the
election are the defeat of John w. Weeks
of Massachusetts, Republican, who has
been In the Senate from Massachusetts
for years, former Governor David l..
Walsh being elected BY the running Of
Thomas w. Lawson As an independent
candi' ate; and the defeat Of Henry Ford,
who was the Democratic candidate for
the Senate In Michigan.
Dypasties have gone fast In the past
few weeks. Out Of the wreck Of the

monarchies survive, and In most Of them

traditional figurehead Of . practical
democracy. OF the dynasties Of the
central powers, not one survives.

No more can America say that she
will have nothing to do with the affairs
between European nations. Nor can
any other nation stand sloof while ma
tions fight. There will still be wars,
more's the pity; not In the present
generation possibly, but only the mos,
hardened optimist can believe that war
Is TO be done away with at this stroke.
But IL will be the business OF the rest OF
the world to stop any war that starts as
soon as possible. Call il league OF ma
tiops or whatever else, give it any form
you please. but IL Is the business Of the
nations to see that the nations do not
fight. The none-of-your.busiDess idea

Military situations have produced some surprising incidents, and in this connection the return a short time ago of Private C. w. Hanna, to be stationed at Whipple Barracks, oc- casioncd comment in this community, where he formerly resided when with the s. F.'P. St P. in Chief Engineer Jaegcr's office.
 Hanna, it will be remembered, left Prescott seven years ago, and was caught in the draft drag-net at Sioux City. Iowa, and from one station was shifted until he again landed amidst familiar scenes as . member of the General Service Go. at Whipple. He was mustered out of the army on Monday, leaving that night for the old home. He stated he will come back to Prescott in a short time. and 1t is probable will again be employ cd in the local railroad offices.

NJ BAN 0N XMAS CANDIES BY THE
 FOOD ADMIN.

PHOENIX, Dec. lz. - Christmas candy will not be restricted by the food administration. Many stores, in accordance with the voluntary sugar conservation plan undertaken upon the initiative of the trade itself, have been refusing to sell more than one pound at a time to a customer. The restriction IS not regarded by the food administration as a necessary conservation measure this holiday season, since the sugar shortage has been materially relieved.
 Last year the nation faced a ser ious shortage at Christmas time, and the manufacturers were allowed to use only SO per cent of their normal requirements of sugar. This brought about candy shortage and the food administration was at that time ask ing people as patriotic conservation measure to hold candy consumption 10 the minimum and to use those varieties which contained little or no sugar.
 The food administration has never taken any action which would limit manufacturers sales to individual customers. Several of the confec- tioner's associations, however, have passed resolutions requesting their members to sell not more than one pound to a customer, unless 1t IS for shipment to soldiers overseas. While the food administration has never participated in any of these measures during the sugar stringency, 1t re- garded them as valuable aids to con- servation. The need for sugar say
 ing in this direction, however, has passed and the food administration this year will not ask that the Christmas purchases be limited

The sharp turn of the road at the
southwest corner of the fair grounds
was the scene of an automobile wreck
last Sunday, when a Ford car contain
ing Mr.. and Mrs. e. E. Ryan, and
Glenn SCOTS Dodge car, driven by one
of the Wyoming Garage employees, met
in head-on collision. Both ca S were
badly demolished about the front, the
lamps, tenders and radiators suffering
considerable damage. None of the oc-
cupants of the cars received any seri-
GUS injuries, though all were consider
ably shaken up and frightened. The
corner is a dangerous one, as a driver
can see the road but a short distance
ahead, no matter in which direction he
may be going.
