CHAOS

Boston Traveller: A traveller might leave the trench line in France or Flanders and walk eastward to the Pacific, passing through full breadth of Germany, Poland, Russia and Siberia to Vladivostok, or start at Triest for trip through Austria, Hun gary. the Balkans, Asiatic Turkey, Persia Russian Central Asia and many provinces of China, without in either case coming upon solidly established government an unmistakable frontier or community en- toying internal stability and peace. Not since the Middle Ages has so large DOT tion of the earth's surface been given over to anarchy and civil strife. Every sup pressed nationality in central or eastern Eu- rope, taking to heart the maxim that pos session is nine points of the law, is trying to make it's sway effective over as large an area as possible before the peace IS signed No one now can say exactly just what na- tions exist nor what provisional govern ment in each case has the best legal title to be considered representative.

We are not, however going to pretend that we are un- aware of the dislike of the people of the United States to extending their overseas possessions. In spite of great provocation, and not only disturbance but actual outrage on their borders, the American people. as we know. absolutely refused to accept any territorial responsibility in Mexico or in any part of South America. We feel cer- tain that they would tell us that the burdens which they have taken in the Philippine ls- lands and in the Isthmus of Panama afford them not only as much external resPonsi- bility as they desire, but a good deal more.

THOSE GERMAN COLONIES

The London Spectator hopes that Amer ;ca will take over the German colonies Tn Africa. The world knows how cruel and brutal Germany has been in the past to these natives, and how they have been re. duced under German rule to one-third ot their former population. And the world will never consent to the continuance ot German control over these tribes. But the Spectator fears that America will not as- sume this added responsibility in the way of the white man burden. On this subject 1t says:
 If we rule out internationalism, as clearly we must, who else could undertake the iob? We are confident that the French even though they may, and indeed almost certainly will, find it necessary to take over Toeoland and the Kamerun, would re- gard further African colonial possessions as a burden and an obligation, rather than a benefit. The only other possible power besides ourselves is, therefore, Amerca. And here we may say with complete frank ness and truth that the majority ot the British people, and we believe of the peo- ple of the dominions, would be delighted to see the Americans take over and pro-

COLORADO DRY LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE

tRr Review Leased Wire,


 DENVER, Colo, Dec. 13.-Unless state officials alter materially plan agreed upon at a meeting late today of the state canvassing board. the new bone-dry prohibition amendment bill will become effective at midnight Monday, December 16. At the meet ing, which was attended by all mem bers of the board except State Treas urer Higgins. who is i'll Of influenza, the official preparation of the certifi- cate of determination on the result of the ballot on the amendment was concluded and the certificate signed. Secretary of State James R.

He has receded from his original position that it would not be fair to those who are awaiting the delivery of liquor under the Horton permit law to make the new amend ment effective before Wednesday.

try the bodies of American soldiers fallen abroad, ex-President Roosevelt writes to General March, chief-of-staff:
 Mrs. Roosevelt and I wish to enter a most re- spectful but most emphatic, protest against the pro posed far our son. Quentin, is concerned We have always believed that Where the tree fals there let it e."
 We know that many good persons feel entirely after death. to the poor body from which the soul has fled We greatly prefer that Quentin shall lie on the spot where he fell in battle and where the foeman buried him.
 In reply, General March says he is in en- tire sympathy with Mr. Roosevelt's atti- tude, and that General Pershing has authority to pursue the same course in cases where the relatives express a simi- lar wish. We hope that most of them will join the ex-president in this protest, for the transportation of corpses long distances IS heathenish custom. We think it absurd in the Chinese that on travelling abroad they insist on providing for the return of their remains to the Celestial Kingdom, in which they were born.
 Our boys, who have made the supreme sacrifice, have earned the right to rest in peace in the land they helped to free. The idea of disinterment is equally repugnant
  to sense and sentiment. The money 1t would cost were better spent in saving the lives of the starving children of Europe. The truer feeling about this was voiced in the sonnet written by Rupert Brooke short y before he sailed with the British Medi- terranean expeditionary force in February 1915, and died in the Aegean:
 If should die think only this of me:
 That there's some corner of a foreign
 field
 That is for ever England. There shall be
 In that rich earth a richer dust
 concealed
 dust whom England bore, shaped. made
 aware,
 Gave once her flowers to love, her
 ways to roam
 A body of England's breathing English
 air.
 Washed by the rivers, blessed by suns
 of home.
 And think this heart, all evil shed away,
 pulse in the eternal mind, no less
 Gives somewhere back the thoughts
 by England given;
 Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as
 her day;
 And laughter learned of friends; and
 genteness,
 In hearts at peace under an English
 heaven.

B[AMES CONFEREESO OF

Blame for failure to reach an agree

fiteering in rents In the District OF
Columbia was laid upon the House
conferees on the emergency agricul-
tural appropriation bill by Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia today.
"It should be distinctly understood"
said Senator Smith, that the Senate
conferees were not welded to the
Pomerene amendment. but were will
ing to accept amendments thereto and
notifications.
what the Senate conferees wanted
was some kind of reasonable legisla-
ton. The House conferees absolutely
refused to discuss rent-pronteer1ng
ie9isIationS in any shape whatever.
The conferees therefore agreed to re-
port a disagreement
Senator. Smith said he was not yet
ready to announce what motion he
would make with regard to the con-
ference report when the Senate meets
