WITH THE EDITORS
INTERESTING BUT NOT PLAUSIBLE

Probably it is not necessary to take with all the
seriousness accorded to inspired prophecy the ru-
NOR circulating in London that the kaiser is going
to follow in the footsteps of the Emperor Charles
and retire to a monastery. For him to do that
would be- indeed becoming act and wise pre-
caution-a becoming actin that no man ever
needed more than he such opportunities for re-
Election on sins committed as properly selected
monastery would provide, and a wise precaution
because, so sequestered under life long vows he
might escape the other and harsher penalties oc-
casonally imposed on roya! criminals considerably
less guilty than himself
For the iumor that the kaiser is thus minded
there sens to be no better basis than that such a
retirement from the world would be gesture"
of the most dramatic sor-one of the sort he
loves to make and has often made. There is
something in that idea, but hardly enough to give
credibility to the rumor in question In the kais-
ers histrionics there has never been revealed any
element of sacrifice any assertion intimation of
desire to retire from view. That anything less
than irresistible compulsion would make him even
think of seeking silence and obscurity can be be-
heved only by those who can believe anything

RESERVES AND REVERSES

A simple transposition of letters spells both
reserves and reverses A simple Encouragement of
conditions will produce either.
These two words, so alphabetically akin, carry
the relationship into their meanings.
The intactness of your reserves depends upon
the extent of your reverses. The seriousness of
your reverses is accentuated or minimized by the
amount of your reserves.
Wherever either figures, both are factors Each
depends upon the other. They are equalizers
They determine the points of solvency and liqui-
dation I'D.
A defensive warfare is one of reserves and re-
verses.
The allied offensive is designed to continue Ger
manys reverses till her last effective reserves are
thrown into the fray.
1t is at once perceivable that the frequency and
weight Of allied thrusts determines the speed with
which the length and strength of the HUN parties
will be diminished.
Through all of LIES vicissitudes, the principle
Of reverses versus reserves stands unchanged. One
francier lightly regards a setback which would be
another's calamity. One mans vital forces magne-
tie his personality while another's. depleted by
