Dan Cupid, Democrat
(Montreal Gazette. )

1 Even the war, with all it's horrors.
 cannot kill sentiment, and the British people, in the intermissions of the ! fighting, are discussing the marriage of the Prince of Wales. It is pointed out that the Prince could never marry l a German princess, after what has l happened; and at the same time, the
 remaining European princesses are 1 few in number, and most of them
 Roman Catholic, which would, accord ing to the British Constitution. bar 1 marriage.
 It has been suggested that the 1 Prince might very well marry into
 one of the great noble families of 1 England, and more than one daring
 writer has gone the length of hinting that the Prince might marry a repre-
 sentative daughter of the great repub- 1 lie, now fighting side by side with the l British in the cause of human free dom This last is, of course fantasti-
 cal to a degree but those who are sponsors for it say that King Co.,
 phetua loved the beggar maid," and, l by so doing. cnnobed her; and that l the Prince, by choosing for himself would aCcentuatC the new conditions l under which life will be lived when
 the war is over, conditions which will ! postulate an equalization of status In
 the social life of the nations, in a re- constructed world, which will laugh
 caste and tradition and hoary pre- cedent out of court. That whimsical i notion of the Prince marrying the daughter of a representative family in 1 the States has been commented on by serious people as a possibility which, made actual, would be the binding
 cement which would link the two great nations in an immense and
 beneficial solidarity, guaranteeing the peace of the world. Of course, the
 idea is born of the daring concept of
 a world in which the duchess will
 marry the mechanic. in which ancient usage will get a black eye; but the
 point is that public sentiment Is not afraid to express itself, in respect to
 so important a matter, along the lines of the free dem OCracy for which the l Allies are fighting It has been said that the present day is not too favorable to the mOnarChical principle and that fresh infusiOns from the
 people might be desirable. Be that as
 it may, dynastic alliances will, in the
 future be deemed anachrCnOus and royal personages will demand the right common to the humhlest, of d0inr their own cOurting.

New York and 1920.
(Wa shington Star.

An interesting question under dis cussion is. What effect will the re- suit of this years election in New ' ork
 have on 1920? Governor WhltmanAs opponents in both his own and the Democratic party charge that he mas the presidency in view, and is building 8 machine to advance his asplrauonS' that if re-leected, he will begln 10 play at once for control of the New
 York delegation to the next Repubh- can national convention.
 The object of the charge is quite
 plain--too plain, probably to insure
 success. MT Roosevelt's admirers
 can hardly be rendered languid or
 hostile in the campaign of such means
 The Roosevelt boom for President IS
 not of local origin, nor greatly de-
 pendent on local favor. If by 1920
 it has attained the proportions it's
 sneakers expect, New York will fall into line of it's own accord. Neither
 Governor Whitman, if still In the
 chair at Albany, nor anybody else
 would be able, even if disposed to
 keep his own state from the man Of
 the hour in such circumstances. II other states want Teddy" New York will want him, too.
 As for the other side, MT. Smith Is not conceivahly a presidential quan- tity. Tammany has reached Albany and might reach there again without acouiring the slightest warrant for set ting its eyes on Washington. Tam many in the White House is unthink- able
 Resides Tammanv and all other Democratic organizations will be guid- 1 ed by MT Wilson as respects 1920. If l MT. Wilson wants a third nomination, it will not be in Tammany's power to 1 interfere with his programme. It may 1 not be in it's disposition. It may ap- 1 pear at the next Democratic national convention as it did at Saratoga
 obeying policy rather than its heart 1 in the shouting Tammany finds no ] difficulty in adjusting it's shout tp cir 1 cumstanceS. Circumstances alter 1 shouts as they do cases.
 But a Tammany triumph this year would, of course, mean complete l Tammany domination or the New 1 York delegation to the national con- l ventiOn two years hence. GoVernor 1 Smith might head the delegation, but
 Leader Murphy would pull the strings l As to New YOrkS choice ot preSldeh-
 tia1 aspirants with MT. Wilson out of 1 the question, 1t is but guess ram ] many might or might not, present q 1 New York name to the convention ] But if it did present one it would not be the name of any man of it's own for it well understands it's Limitations 1 in that particular.

Our Wounded Return. (BostOn Globe.)

While sorrow, travelling by cable, comes from France to many New Eng land homes whose sons crossed the
 sea to make the supreme sacrifice, an-
 other of the grim phases of war is brought near to us with the arrival in
 soldiers from France consigned to hos ; p1tals in this city.
 There are comparatively few in this hrSt group of sufferers to come to us; comparatively few as judged by the homecoming of troop trans ana
 ships in France and England. But others are certain to follow.
 Today our boys are in the thick of
 the fighting. They have helped to drive the invaders from the Marne, and are still driving them back from the ground on which they were stopped two months ago by other gal lant American troops. Some of those just arrived were wounded in the me- mOrabIe engagemen around Chateau
 Thterry, when the German dash tow ard Paris spent it's force againstt a wall of steel.
 Already from the new fields of battle have come reports of casualties. New England, always in the forefront when liberty is at stake, can claim many of these dead and wounded heroes as her own.
 But she stands ready for the test Like France, like England, like Italy and bleeding Belgium, her people, too will bear their part with courage and fortitude. Great though the sacri- flee may be, long though the line of graves may grow across the fields of France, many the sufferers sent back to freedoms land, New England-and
 AmeriCa--Will not finch.
 From these first wounded who have come back to us may be learned a les son. In spite of sufferings, they are hopeful In spite of pain, there is 8
 smile on their lips. It Is all for lib
