A YOUNG MANS WORLD.

The greatest Generals of the were old or elderly men, and so the leading statesmen of the warning nations, but the soldiers were povs oi youths.
 To whom are this country and the world going to belong when two three million of these lads come home to be petted by women and to be honored by men, ripened by experience, seasoned by hardshlp broadened by contact with men of other nations ant race? ~To them, we fancy.
 After the Civil War the veterans of 1t, some O. them only lads, leaped into prominence and became the leaders of thought and of action and it will be so again It is, in fact, inevitable and proper that it should be They the ones through whose souls the currents of the age have poured with the greatest power. They have felt most deeply the significance of the great principles for which the contest has been waged and which to be the watchwords of the future.
 What contribution may expect them to mako to the life of the world and to the development O. American civilization? What will their charac- teristics be? What ideals shall find that they cherish?
 It is not too much to expect we think, that ir the first place, they will believe in the moral gov ernment of the universe and consecrate themselves to the establishmn of righteousness in politics and business. How can it be otherwise? Have they not participated in the greatest struggle of good with evil ever staged upon the earth and seen the con quest of darkness by light?
 In the next place. they will throw their whole in fuence into the effort maintain Government o: the people, people and by the people, for they have autocracy tried in the balance and found wanting Once more, they will throw the full weight of their influence into the effort to abolish war; for they will have it's horrors
 And, finally they will maintain with all the fer vor youthful enthusiasm the doctrine of the broth erhood of They who have equal vaor in the breast of all the children of men, white and black red and yellow will help to abolish pref udice break down middle walls of partition, set uI League of Nations and establish international relationship of respect and affection
 We wait impatiently for their return, only that may show humble gratitude for what they have done in the past, that we may re- ceive their aid in solving the tremendous and per plexing problems of the future They may have oul places! But cannot give them up without a little envy. We cannot help but wish that we ourselves "in the May-morn of youth and ripe for ex Dlots and mighty enterprises"

 If there subject of government which at this time the politicians must not touch with public or a privy paw it is the Federal banking code.

GERMANS HAD EYES OPENED.

That the publication of President Wilson's cor with the German government Tn Ger many had a great deal to do toward breaking dowi the Kasers war machine and its hold on the people o Germany is the testimony of Prof. Henry C. Elmer! of New York who had the fortune to be unofficial visitor in Berlin during the month of October l opened the eyes of the people of that country as t inst what the United States in the war for, ant brought home to them a realization of what German mtarism and autocracy meant to their own coun try.
 The Boston News Bureau contains the following the observations of Prof. Emery:
 Prof. Henry c. Emery, who went to Rus sia for the Guaranty Trust Co. and was cap tured and sent to Berlin, says that though the military collapse of the German forces all at once, the collapse of the Ger civilians came far earlier. I was in the press gallery of the Rechstag in Der lin in early October-this is an example Of conditions-and l asked prominent Ger civilian near me: You will fight out the to the bitter end, won't you?' His reply The bitter end has come al ready The train has arrived We are trough The hatred of the Germans for America never as strong, Dr. Emery said
 their hate for England Toward the end of the President Wilson's most re- cent notes to Germany got full publication, and the they read the more the Kaiser discredted, and the more the be-
 lief grew that President Wilson was the best friend the German people had. The Ger
 people, said Dr. Emery understood that they had been double-crossed by the military class and they felt that the United States simply justified in going into the Really big German business men knew they were defeated and worry
 ing only abont how they were going to start the German nations business going again. They willing they said, to accept any sort of terms-even the most humatng- provided they could get their industries in- to action once more."

ALASKA A PARADISE
 COMPARED WITH CAMP
 DODGE SAYS ALASKAN

I guess it won't be long before we will be coming home, and the most of us are anxious to get back to Alaska" writes Carl H. Slade to Claude Ericson. who is at Camp Dodge. "I wouldn't live in this country under any consideration Alaska is a paradise compared to this place.
 'The 'flue' got a lot of our boys. Tony had narrow escape and I didn't think he'd pull through. I was only sick eight days and when I returned to my company all the cooks and the Mess Sergeant were in the hospital. The Captain asked me if I would take charge of the mess as soon as I was able to work and I did. For twenty days I got up at four o'clock and got breakfast alone for the company. besides taking care of the mess and doing the buying.
 MT. Slade has been made Supply Sergeant since arriving at Camp Dodge.

It Will Be a Mistake.
Detroit Journal.)


 Political gossip from Washington has it that the Republicans, when they return to in Congress, will devote large of their time to inquiring into the war administration of the Democrats They intend, it is said, to demand full accounting of the stewardship"
 This if it prove true is to snatch page from the history of the Democratic party. For twenty years after the American Civil the Democrats made it their main duty to nag the Republicans. They sought constantly to "get something em." They played the old And for all those years, until Cleveland naugurated, they remained the minority party. This scoding got them nowhere be- the American people weary easily of scoldng. It solidifed the Republican party instead of weaken ing it.
 We trust that when the Republicans in Congress to discussing how they shall their restored power the scolds among them will be suppressed. We trust that men who know the temper of the people will prevail. If they do not, the Republicans might minority, powerless in Congress and in disrepute in the country
 The Republican party has tradition a party of constructive force. That is tradition to stick to, to work with make glorious In this generation there will again be such op- portunty for political organization show it's ability to build to create to rise above past and lay the foundation for magnificent future.

The Presidents Decision.
Seattle Times

There should be a general feeling of satisfaction throughout the country that President Wilson has decided to go in person to the coming peace con- ference There is certain relief also in the knowl- edge that he had made the decision at this time. It is eminently proper that he should go Indeed, it would have been mistake had the President decided not to take the journey.
 Ever since Germany first sought cessation of hostiities the terms laid down by President Will son. which meant not only willingness but de- sire end the struggle by unconditional surrender it has clear that the origator of those terms have a personal we'll official part in the final negotiations for permanent peace. Notwithstanding the modern facilities of communication by cable and wireless, there is nothing, after all, that take the place of the presence of and the actual human voice, and the very bodily atmosphere of the eliminating individual in conference which is to be the most important the world has known.
 To say that the President of the United States should not go so far away from the country should not leave the country at all while in office pinle It obsolete precedent naturally attendant upon conditions in transportation and communication of the early days of the republic. It is tme that this prece- dent, like that other foolish of the President maining to appear in person to address Congress, should be shattered.
 It is idle also to discuss whether the President, during his absence shall relinquish the reins of state When MT. Wilson goes to the Peace Con- ference he goes, not delegate other delegates but the President of the United States and as the leader and exponent of the great principle of de- mocracy for which this nation fought in this war and which, it be to, is steadfastly pre- in the final settlement and adjustment of na- tions
