hcially ended by the middle OF next
summer, we should then find our
selves with only $l0,00O,000,OOO war
debt.
The treasury department estimates
that the governments expenses,
mostly for war purposes for the
following fiscal year, ending June
80, 1920, will be S5,000000,0O. That
is evidently expected to take care
OF winding up the war-thc carson
ing OF enemy countries, the last con-
siderable transportation OF war ma
tcrial and rehabilitation OF troops,
etc. Subsequent war expenditures
should be almost negligible.
That makes, then, total of SIS
000000000 TO pay after next June.
1t is what weeshall owe to ourselves
as holders OF American war bonds,
Ii we chose TO continue paying
taxes at the average rate OF these
two active war years, we could pay
off that entire balance in less than
three years after the end OF the
war

PROTESTS AGAINST
ROYAL TREATMENT
OF DEPOSED KAISER

Paris. Nov. 23.-\nswering the
Argument OF the Dutch government
in iustiiying its attitude toward Will
liam lIohcnzollcrn, the former Ger
man emperor as contained i'll a note
issued by the Dutch legation ycster-
day. the Petit Journal observes that
the former emperor was at the very
beginning and continues TO be,
treated not as a private individual,
but as sovereign enjoying fav-
orablc conditions, 1t adds that tel
egrams to or from Amerongen cas-
tie are considered a., official tcle-
grams.
"Despite the protest OF the Dutch
government" the Petit Journal con-
cludcs, and in it, own interests,
the allies must insist that these iav-

WHAT TO DO WITH THE
KAISER

One of the principal problems
left by the war is the kaiser. He has
not settled matters by fleeing TO
Holland. Statesmen the world over
are concerning themselves with the
proper disposition to make OF him,
\ New York paper, conducting Il
symposium on the subject, shows
that the big majority Of public men
in this country want him held per
sonally responsible for the crimes
committed under his orders or
authority. Many would like to see
him tried as a common criminal and,
il found guilty. hanged like any 9th
er murderer. Some suggest an in
tcrnational tribunal for that pur-
pose. Others court OF Bclgians.
Many prefer that the sentence
should he lifelong exile rather than
execution, on the ground that there
would be more punishment in an old
age of torturing remembrance than
in sudden deaht. St. Helena or some
similar island is naturally suggest
ed for this purpose,
The mayor OF Memphis, differing
with these Judges suggests that a
more appropriate punishment would
be to try Wilhelm before military
court and sentence him to spend
the rest OF his life working for the
restoration OF Belgium with ball

PAYING WAR BILLS

Anyone who thinks that hits war
is going to leave us saddled with
heavy debt for a generation has not
looked into the matter carefully. \
little study OF the war bills shows
that, heavy as they are, they are
not so large as most persons sup
pose, and that they are being taken
care OF with surprising speed and
comparative ease.
Official estimates from Washing
ton make our total war expenditures
up to June 80. 1910, about $30.0O0.-
100000. We paid off S+.000,000000
OF that in federal taxes last spring.
We shall pay off $60OO.0O0,000 more
assessed for the calendar year of
l9lS-next spring and summer. That
leaves only S20.000,000,000. Hall of
that sum may legitimately be de-
Quoted because it consists OF loans

SCHOOLS AND COLDS

The influenza has come and gone
through the country, leaving in MS
, wake a trail OF death and serious
illnesses. in some cases the expert
encc has taught lessons to city and
school authorities. In others the
lesson seems TO have been wasted.
Where the school authorities were
alive to the situation rule has been
+ made that any child appearing III
school with any appearance OF cold
in the head, cough or sore throat,
shall promptly be sent home until
the symptoms have disappeared. In
this way an effective check is put
upon the spread not only OF com
mon colds but of grippe, infIuen-
"a. measles. scarlet fever, whooping
cough and intantilc paralysis, all OF
which begin with some OF the symp--
toms of the common cold and all
oi which are most contagious while
in the stage when those symptoms
are manifest.
The schools in one city have
adopted a system OF locking the barn
door after the horse ha, been stolen.
No rule about sending home chiI-
,,.n with colds ha, been made. They
= stay and inject the other chill
(.n a, long As they are able to
ak. But If a child be absent for
1rce days. that child must bring
permit from the health officer
atiug that the child is lit to re-
.~u to school.
The result OF thi, rule will be
about as follows: \ child coming
down with any one OF the above
uqmcd diseases will stay in school

AMERICAN SPORTS
TAKE FIRM HOLD
ON FRENCH ARMY

New York, Nov. 25.-Thc remark
able hold which the American ath-
letics and sport gained in France
with the entry OF the United States
Army is being illustrated in many
ways and there are indications that
the return to peaceful conditions
will only augment this popularity.
Competent observers hold firmly to
the opinion that the coming years
will witness wonderful growth in
international sport competition the
seeds OF which have been sown by
the soldier in khaki and those who
entered Europe with him i'll advisory
or other helpful capacity.
That the French Army author
tiles realized the value OF athletics
a, eXcmplilied by the American SOL
dicrs and sailors is shown by the ap-
pointment OF Special Instructors
from the y. NJ. {. \. Foyer du Sol
dat ranks. These American coaches
are faced by a most unusual and
complicated task but have tackled
the work with the vim so character
iStic in sport in this country and are
already able to report encouraging
progress They found themselves
confronted from the start by condi-
tiCnS that have no parallel in the
United States. At home, the coach
practically never has to teach the
fundamentals of any. game, his pu-
Pill, acquire those in childhood. But
in France, athletics must be "buiit
IRON the ground up Instead Of
organizing and contining sports that
are already well known, the Foyer
du Soldat men must be literally pio-
uoers.
As the first problem is to teach
new games, the work is necessarily
elementary, Instead OF taking ma
tcral that is well-rounded in the
things desired and putting a fine
edge on the individual skill and team
work. the Americans working with
the French must treat his task en-
tirely from the standpoint OF amuse-
ment and distraction.
