1t appears to be settled that the formal ses-
sion OF the peace conference will not begin until
January first Meanwhile it probably will be
determined what questions Of urgent import
ance will be considered, what the general atti-
tude Of the allies will be and what matters will
be left to second congress to be called after
the conclusion of peace 1t seems to be the pol
Icy OF the entente statesmen to bring up at this
first conference those questions only which con-
Germ the closing OF the war. After the present
truce is ended by treaty of peace, the academ-
&c and ideaIistic propositions will engage the
statesmen Of the world. There seems to be no
doubt that the entente powers viii vote to-
gcther all important matters. They are
pledged by their pact Of September fifth, 1914,
TO which Italy became party later, that no one
OF them shall demand conditions of peace
without the previous agreement of each of the
other allies. - 1t is freely predicted also taat
Greece and Portugal will support the entente
program, as Rumania has arady decided to do
and that Norway, Denmark and Switzerland will
concur therein with such Influence as they have
as neutrals who did not formally enter the war

"Nothino But the Truth.u


Which is the title OF farcical play
that will be seen at the Grand next
Thursday, December 26.
To have nothing, but the truth in

is unfolded of the ten thousand dol

PERFORMANCE AND PROMISE.

There may be some satisfactory explanation
Forthcoming from those in control of operation
at the great shipbuilding plant at Hog island
as to extravagances and deficiency in the num-
Der of vessels delivered to the government. 1t
is hoped there will be. So far but one ship has
been completed and delivered to the Emergency
Shipping corporation, according to testimony
given by Charles Piez, general manager of the
corporation, before the senate commerce COM
mittee. The cost of tile plant has been sixty
three million, three hundred thousand dollars
There may have been no more than sounding
brass in the early announcements of what great
things were to be accomplished in shipbuilding
at Hog island, and so the report of the attorney
generals investigators based on recent inves-
tigation of conditions at the plant is greeted
with an interest that is given intensity because
of developments before the senate commerce
committee.

So they must consider he gave them
a square deal.
AGAIN the Hioh Cost o. Paper.

Des Moines Capital: The Des
Moines Capital is now $500 year
by mail in Iowa, and $500 a year
by mail outside of Iowa. Many OF
our subscribers will remember when
the Capital was $500 year, and
still others remember when it was
$500 year. Some of them are at
a loss to understand the tremendous
increase in the subscription price.
OF course there have been great
increases in wage scales in the pro-
duction of newspapers, increases in
freight and postage, but the real
cause of the increase in the cost of
the daily newspapers is to be found
almost entirely in the cost of white
paper. When the European war
broke out. the Capital was paying
$4,000 and $4,000 a ton for white
paper Now the Capital is paying a
little in excess Of $500 ton for
white paper, with the prospect in
view for next year of paying 5000
a ton. The Capitals paper bill for
this year will be in excess of $780,
900. while four years ago the Capt.
tails paper bill was 1880.
We do not know of a single news
paper in the United States that
hasn't raised it's subscription prices,
both in the city and country, and
most of them beyond the figures Of
the Des Moines newspapers. ="
Conditions affecting the making OF
newspapers have been entirely revo-
Iutionized by the war, and it doesn't
seem possible subscription prices
will ever revert to the pre-war fig
ures.

NICHOLAS SURVIVAL.

Of exceeding interest is the report that the
Granl Duke Nicholas is alive and in command
of Cossacks in a southern province of Russia
which touches the sea of Azov. He is the
greatest commander the empire produced in
this war and one of the most distinguished
strategists on either side. Rumor has several
times had him captured or killel and if he still
lives and has Cossack following, fate may
have saved him to play part of some import
ance in the years ahead. 1t has repeatedly hap
pened in history that men who came to great
ness were hunted and buffeted about, escaping
with their lives if by a miracle; or that they
avoided notice in seclusion until events made
possible their emergency or return to power.
Seemingly Russia is approaching state of
misery in which she would welcome the appear
ance of capable, resolute man to put her ter
rorists under foot.

MIR. BURLEsoN's MANAGEMENT.

The present postmaster generals manage
ment Of tie business of the postoffice depart
ment furnishes a strong argument against
granting Mr. Burleson's plea for government
ownership of the telegraph and telephone sys-
tenn. From no former postmaster general
could plea of this kind have come with less
force. Mr. Burleson is answered by his own
record of inefficiency. He has shown keen and
unfailing interest in building up powerful po-
litical machine, while the business side OF his
department has been neglected. There is no
assurance that the government would be more
successful in managing the country's wire serv-
ice than Mr.. Bnrleson has been in directing the
postal service.

One noticeable thing in American
public character and traits is that we
do not miss any man long. The coun-
try seems to be hitting on all twelve
cylinders despite the absence Of the
executive chauffeur.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: There is
great difference between militarism
and national preparedness. The for
mer incites to war; the latter to
peace.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The war
department at Washington has found
a rule under which the boys dis
charged from the service may keep
their uniforms. This is a rule In
harmony with American spirit and
purpose. The boys now should pre-
serve these uniforms as sacredly as
they do the flag they served, and use,
them only when they rally around
the flag in their reunions.
Cherokee Times: Regardless of per-
sonal preference in the governorship
contest, everyone will have good
word for Charley Rawson.
Cedar Rapids Republican: To pun
ish the ex-kaiser and his son is well
enough but the hgureheads-that is

ally means that he Is excellent in

TRAVELLED -LINGUIsTs.

From the National War Work Council comes
a document written by Eloise Robinson that
gives account of the education in language
which our soldiers abroad are undergoing with
avidity The writer says: 'sAs soon as the
American soldier landed on the soil Of France
he wanted to learn to 'parley vous Franchise
He wanted to learn it toute de suite-the touter
the sweeter-and in addition he wantd to ac-
Iquire it by strictly painless process in which
he would not run the risk of spraining the brain
lie mis- ht need later"
There is description of an attitude toward
foreign language study that has long been char
Iacteristic of Americans. And if it be true, as
the Y NJ c. A. asserts, that it has found a
means of teaching our soldiers conversational
French of sort that works in France in two
months time we have war asset OF import
Iance. It is easier now to obtain furloughs and
our soldier lads are improving the opportunity
to see the parts of France that the war has not
Imauled Moreover the London Office of the Y.
M. c. A. reports that more than seven thousand,
five hundred of our men have been given guides
for short trips in and about that city and a
great many of these same men provided with
means of seeing England on brief tours. All
of which indicates that in addition to coming
home veterans of the greatest war the world
has known our men are by way of becoming
travelled linguists.

Hungary by President Wilson
in answer TO the recent appeal Of
the German Imperial Chancellor
for an armistice on land and the sea
and in the air and the discussion of
possible means for ending the war.
In edition President Wilson is de-
sirous Of knowing, and has directly
asked the question. for whom the
Imperial Chancellor was speaking
when he advanced his proposal
whether il was for the constituted
authorities Of the empire who have
been conducting the war, or for the
German people. The President also
desires 10 know if Germany in seek
ing peace accepts the terms already
laid down by the President as the
basis for the ending of hostilities.
