WHERE GERMANY STUDDED ITS TOE

Historians will perhaps date the downfall of Ger
many from the Brest- Litovsk treaty. Thoushtful Ger
mans have already been pointing out what a chance was
thrown away to win the friendship of all the nationali-
ties OF Russia and to vindicate the claim that Germany
was not fighting a war Of aggression. If Russia had
been handsomely treated, moreover, che demand for
peace on the western front would inevitably have grown.
But the INSCRIPTIONS treatment of Russia both awak-
ened the Allies to a new sense Of Germany's unlimited
ambition and greed, and did much to disgust Germanys
allies with the war. Count Czernin after his resignation
gave quite plain notice that the people Of Austr;. were
not in sympathy with German war aims. and in Turkey
and Bulgaria discomfort has increased greatly. Bulgaria
mad been at war for six years with only a brief
1ntermission. and Turkey a little longer, since its war
Win Italy was not fully ended when it was attacked by
the Balkan states. Neither of these countries wants tho

THE TEXT VAS SUBMITTED

In view of the recent, and perhaps continuing dis
cusston as to Wheeler or not President Wilson acted wisely
In his handling of the recent German peace offensive, and
whether or not he showed proper consideration for the
opinions Of his associates in other governments, it is in
terestinE to recall an incident in the experience of Colonel
Roosevelt which was quite widely commented on at the
time.
On his return from Africa, and before crossing the
ocean, Roosevelt delivered a number of addresses before
gatherings of distinguished people abroad. One of these
addresses was delivered in London. In it he took occa-
sion to express his views with reference to the British
method of handling colonial government, and especially
the government of Egypt, which country he had recently
visited. He took a very decided stand in favor OF the
adoption of a very firm Egyptian policy by the British
government. He maintained that this was a duty which
the government owed not only to the people Of Great
Britain, but to those of Egypt. and he expressed his
opinion in no complimentary terms of those who would
counsel a weak, temporizing policy.
We on this side of the ocean had become some
what accustomed to the Rooseveltian form of expression,
but even those most familiar with the colonel and his
manner found themselves gasping at the spectacle of a
man visiting a friendly foreign country, being honored
by the people and the officials of that country. and then.
in a public address. presuming to instruct government
and people on a matter Of that country's policy, and a
matter also which was the subject Of many political
differences at home. The thing was SO unprecedented
and so amazing that it, seemed incredible. Yet there
were the facts.
Comment poured forth. Those who had desired a
chance to get a crack at the colonel-and there were
several Of them-were in their element. Those who felt
a lingering fondness for him could do little but remain
dlscreetly silent. Defense Of the indefensible could not
be undertaken. Then, one, day, it came out that the adj
dress which had been so thoroughly denounced for it's
tactlessness had been submitted entire to the British
secretary in charge Of Egyptian affairs, and had been
approved by him on the ground that his government
needed just that kind of advice, and that Roosevelt was
Just the man to give it.

for granted, that the effects Of this wise precaution will
not be rendered nugatory by a premature re-opening Of
closed institutions and the too early resumption Of public

Whatever institutions or gatherings it has been use
full to close cannot safely be re-opened until some days
have elapsed since the appearance Of new cases of the

tically disappeared would be to jeopardize all the good
results that have been attained by the closing, and it will
be much better for our communities to- endure the COM
paratively slight Inconvenience that some extension of the
closed period will entail than to throw away all that has
been gained and be required to go through it all again.
On the whole, the conditions in and around Grand
Forks may be regarded as very satisfactory. New cases
are being reported, which was to have been expected. and
there are occasional deaths. But the number of cases thus
far il not large as compared with the situation in other
places, and both the actual and proportionate number Of
deaths remains very small. z'
The city authorities have taken a wise and exceeding
ly useful precaution in flushing and later sprinkling of
the down town streets. 1t would be interesting, though
it is impossible. to know how many billion influenza
germs have thus been removed as possible sources Of In
lection. The effort was worth while II only because of
the greater appearance Of cleanliness that has been i'm

been communicated to the air. 1t is to be hoped that the
officials will be able quite promptly to extend their al
