EXTENDING THE ARMIsTlcE.

At the time of the signing of the armistice on November II it was re- alized that it would likely have tc be extended. Much had to be done under it's terms in a short period of time, but it was preferable that the time should be made short with opportu- mites for extensions, and thus oyer come dawdling on Germany's part, than it would be to set the date far ahead and have Germany engage in, a policy of delay and obstruction:
 It is therefore only what was an ticipated when it was found that peace could not be arranged within the life of the armistice. and the request for and the extension of the armistice period follows as a natural course of events. The allied troops have taken possession of the territory to the west bank of the Rhine. Germany has turned over much of the war mater ial that was demanded It has sur rendered it's fleet, it has placed guns and motors in the hands of the allies and also relinquished many railway cars but the time for surrendering the stipulated number of these was some days ago extended. It is required ot Germany that whatever agreements have not been fulfilled that this must be done within the extended time end it is further stipulated that tht allied command can with six days | notice occupy the neutral zone on the east bank of the Rhine. This is de. alanded in order that Germany ma, be impressed with the necessity of thu earliest possible meeting of all the i terms.
 But it is not to be expected that tn, peace terms will be arranged wiInII
 this additional 30 day period. Som
 progress may be made, and in tha
 time Germany may finish fulfilling it
 armistice requirements, but as SC
 forth it is probable that one or nor
 extensions will be needed before peac
 is actually signed.

! RED CROSS MEMBERSHIPS.

Never before of course has there been such a demand for such services as the Red Cross has performed, but even if the demand has been the greatest ever there is all the more satisfaction in knowing that it has been so satisfactorily taken care of. The people of this country have fully appreciated the magnificent work which this organization set out to do and they have responded in a man. ner to make them proud of the &C., complishments, for there is credit due to each and every contributor and to each and every worker.
 It is interesting to note that during the year ending with June 90 the Red Cross appropriated nearly SOS, ,o00. .000 to carry on it's work abroad and at home, ot which about sg0 900, 900 went for relief in foreign countries, over s7,500 900 for work i>> the United States and about $5 100000 for wori in various countries specified by con- tributors and there remained in the treasury at the opening or the cur rent fiscal year nearly s51, 1,o0o, 900 There have Of course been heavy de. mands in the several months WhicI the report does not cover but there still remains much work abroad whicl must be continued as long as tht refugees are away from their hom, and require care and as long as tn, military hospitals are maintainei across the water.
 The Red Cross has been working not for a year but for four years. Tn 1 services rendered have been on Ire 1 mendous scale. There is satisfaciio, 1 in the fact that they will not multipl

At present there are two of these camps in Eng and-one at Ripon and one at Dover. Another is tc be opened shortly at Dieppe The "searchers" will visit the camps both here and overseas, and question the men.N This plan has already been followed in the hospitals, and the ''searcher," or the good shepherd" :" as she is known in the army, is an old friend of Tommys. Sometimes wounded men are able to give infer- nation about comrades who were with them when they fell. concerning whom the authorities know nothing.

FEDERAL HIGHWAYS.

It doesn't seem possible that there could be a section of the country at tlis late date which does not know Inc importance of good roads. Ger tainly most of the states have invest cd heavily In them. They know what a benefit they are and as the result of the experience which they have had in building them they understand the value of building for permanency. The initial cost is more but the up- keep and the cost in the long ruR is much less
 = Strong efforts are being made in -congress fer the purpose of getting -an annual federal appropriation for the purpose of road buildings Accord- ling 10 the Bankhead amendment to '-the federal highways bill congress is . called upon to authorize the expendi- .--aure of SiO0. 000. 900 each year for this --purpOse. This sum would not be Bpent in any particulaT locality or on my one highway. but would be di- .-vided among the states which are en- gagged in bettering their roads and .- parceled out in proportion 10 the ex- --penditures of the commonwealths re- ' .ceiving such aid. It would mean in other words that the states would have to spend as much in addition as they received from the government although there would be no attempt e restrict the amount which any state might expend for road buildinga nnual- fly. It would, however, mean that if the States were disposed to meet the gov
 ernment there would be s20o, ,o00 ,00t
 available each year for better roads
 instead of half that sum.

TEACHING THE TURKS.

What is to be done with Turkey rests with the peace conference. There ran be TO thought however, of per- hitting Turkey to continue as 1t has in the past. It has shown that it is incapable of looking out for itself un- der the rules of civilization. Per Aaps one of the chief reasons for this Is that it is unwilling to break away { from it's long established customs and doing as it pleases in order to rise to he standards which are set forth by ether countries. Turkey cannot get away from the idea that it must car " out a massacre against some one of it's subject peoples every now and 7thon just to see the blood flow and to create more misery and terror.
 It is decidedly interesting therefore to learn from London that opinion there favors turning over to the United States the task of teaching the Turks how to govern themselves. Tn the first place it is not believed that the peace conference will leave the Turkish empire intact Turkey in al probability will cease to be an empire It will have nothing more to do witt the Armenians and Syrians and the other broken nationalities which have been under it's rule. Provision will b. made for better conditions for then 90 that they will be free from Turk, - ish rule. Turkey will then be left tt itself. Its government will be for tn, Turks, and while it may be paying compliment to this country to thinl nf assigning to it the task of teach ing those people how they should con duct their government, it is not likel, that 1t will be undertaken. It is no believed that this country wants t take any such part in the affairs c Q. Europe. if in fact Turkey itself wa
