fields of Northern France. of which
will be crowned with success. but it
is expected that American mining en-
gineers will follow close on the heels
of the victorious allies. even though
our troops are not on that fighting
front. The control of the region by
armies of the kaiser shuts off French
industry from most of its domestic
supply of coal.
1t is certain that the Germans will
completely wreck the fine. modern
equipment of the mines before they
are compelled to retreat, so an ar
rangcmcnt is now being made between
our own and French governments to
have American engineers begin the
work of restoration the moment that
the advance of the allied lines makes
it possible. Regiments of skilled min
crs, either volunteers or men included
in the draft. will followly closely,

THE DAY FOR GIANTS.

Under The suggestive title OF

fcrring to Baker and. McAdoo, the
Red Lodgc,Picket strikes squarely
at the root of things, in these
words:
Mr. Wilson's cabinet was Sc
lccted for political considerations.
Neither Bryan, Daniels Burleson,
nor Baker can be accounted for on
any other hypothesis. AS for Mr..
Bryan's successor. Mr.. Lansing,
the gentleman was an after
thought. ~ fact which may be ac-
copied without argument. None of
the men named can be considered
the strongest in the land. The
blindest follower of the president
would not claim them to be. And
vet the ship of state is passing
through n terrible storm with these
men at the throttle and the wheel
while powerful men stand by to
lend a hand at the nod Of the
master. Compare Baker with Gar
rson: Daniels with Theodore
Roosevelt, or Burleson with Will

Picks Flaws in Peace Program.


Editor Missoulian:
The German Reply to Wilson" in
your issue of January Is, and your
editorial of the same date-"A Waiting
Game" both serve to accentuatc one
of tho weak points in the peace pro-
posals. of President Wilson. | refer
TO the apparent stipulation, read by
tn" light of the Russian revelation of
secret agreements among the allies,
that Alsacc- Lorraine be returned to
France, in order ito right the wrong

gested REIMBURSEMENT of the frontiers
of Italy"
Without venturing to contest the de-
STABILITY of these terms talthough 1t
may be remarked in passing. that the
wrong" of 1871 was the still greater
wrong of 1851, when Louis XIV cap
tured Strasburg in time of peace we
may ask, are. we in the position to
make these demands, which might be
met by the central powers basing their
peace claims upon the restoration by
England and France of conquered ter
ritory in Africa-nnd scwhcrc--to
their former rulers and on our return
ing Texas to Mexico and the Philip
pines to Spain? The disposition of
Alsuce Lorraine, and the straightcn-
ing Of Italy's frontiers seem to be with
out our jurisdiction and should be de-
Cidcd by the Inhabitants of the dis
puted sections. otherwise are we not
engaging to prolong this inhuman
slaughter for the purpose of acquiring
territory-not for ourselves, to be sure
but for our allies?

GERMAN AGENTS IN MEXICO.
Harry II. Dunn in Cartoons Magazine.

1t is noticeable that practically every
Latin American republic, with the ex-
ception of Salvador and Mexico, has
made plain its stand on the European
war. The center of German activity
in Latin America is currently reported
to be in Salvador. but that country is
so closely surrounded by republics
which have either declared their al
legiance to the allies, or have so plain
ly manifested their sympathies, that
German agents in Salvador have been
able to do little except prepare soft
places on which similar agents, kicked
out OF other or the Spanish republics
may alight. In Mexico. however. the
situation is slightly different. The
area Of Mexico is sc great and the
