ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MouLToN

The Great Peace.
We sat down to wtfte
Something about the peace.
And the subject grew larger
Every moment.
We thought of what
The overthrow of absolutism
MeaIA to millions and millions
OF little children and we
Pondered upon deliverance
From terror and bestiality.
Before us rose the Ldsitania,
Outraged Belgium,
Ravished Serbia and the slavery
OF millions of innocents.
There was so much to say
We could not put it in words,
And we went out and walked
Around the block and smoked
And tried it over again,
And we fell to musing over
The sacrifices of our own boys
For the cause of Justice;
The bravery of mothers
And wives and sisters.
And what peace means to them
A glorious peace with victory
What it means to the world
To be freed from the Thing
Which rnenaced 1t.
We could occasionally
Say something about the war,
But the vocabulary baked
!
And nothing that anybody
Can write or speak or sing
Is enough. 1t Is a peace
That passeth all understanding
The milkman came by and
Left the bottles for the baby
At o'clock in the morning
And the only line we had written
On the old typewriter all that night
Was, isn't 1t wonderful"
Out in Topeka there is crook who
las been studying the methods Of the
ll-highest. When arrested, he offered
plead guilty on one count If the
police would drop the other twenty
hree counts they held against him.

AMERICANS, + ~ soMHE. BATTLE.
Wounded French Captain Declares
Men Of United States Worked Like
Old Hands in Hot Conflict.

Paris, March 29.-EnEi-aly new ii
this warfare, the Americans worked
Ike the best vete.aGs III the battle
Ct the Sornnle," says a wounded
French captain, who has bean brought
back from the front, according 10 La
Liberte.
Two OF the Americans, officers
who were wounded, were brought bac!;
with the French captain, member
Of the Dragons. Each American
were a French war cross conferred
on the battlefield
The F,ench captain refused to re
ceiye attention until the Americans
along side him had first been nursed.
"Thcy are the ones who should be
congratulated" ne said, calling upon
the women of the BED Cross to look
after. the Americans.
The presence of American auX!lia-
~ troops en- the fighting line in the
great battle was the subject of much
Favorable comment, and when it be
came generally known that wounded
American officers and men were be-
ing brought back with the Trench
wounded from the region of st. Quen-
tin, American stock rose high. The
moral effect was considerable, even
though the surpos:tion was that the
number Of the American troops in
lire was not considerable.
The comforting thing to the French
is that recently, whenever there has
been net fighting, the Americans have
had share of it; even if small one,
and have acquitted themselves crcdi-
tably.

DUTCH LESSEN CRITICISM.
international Law Expert in Holland
Tells People Cause is Right.

Washington, March 5G.-Critlc.sm
Of the United States and the allies
ior taking over the Dutch merchant
ships is waning ia- the Netherlands,
according to adyices received by the
State Department. The business IN
terests of the larger cities realize that
the United States and Great Britain
were quite within their rights, under
international law, to make use OF Ho:-
lands vessels, and the cries Of rob
berry" which were set up by some Ct
the prot German papers are beng
stilled by publication of the laws unacr
which the transfer of ships was made.
A digest of an article by prorhl-
nent Dutch authority on international
law has been received here and indi-
Gates that resentment against the
United States is being effectively
overcome. The article was published
in the -Algemeen Hande!shiai, the
leading commercial paper OF the -Ne1h-
erlands.
The article points out that inter
national authorities agree uron the
right O.: nations to take over the prop
crty Of neutrals, especially SHIPS, and
emphasizes thar the laws under "hicii
such action i taken make 10 proVi-
sion guaranteeing the owners OF the
ships full compensation for their prop
erty, nor do they provide that such
vessels, if lost, must be replaced. IN
asmuch as the United States has
agreed not only to full compensation
for the use of the vessels, but also
tc replace an% lost, it is held that
there are no grounds FOR adverse crit
cism on the part o. the people OF
the Netherlands.

FocH IN COMMAND.
Great French Strategist to Be Gen
eralissimo-President wilson SENDS
Congratulations.

TIE appointment of General foch
the great French strateglst, to be ST.
orene commander of all British
French and American forces on thu
West front was diplomatic triumph
for the United States. 1t was recog.
nized as such by President Wilson II
congratulatory message to the gen
eralissimo, which had the approval OF
the Cabinet. The message follows:
"May not convey to you my sincere
congratulations on your new author
ty? Such unity of command is NOS
hopeful augury of ultimate success.
We are following with profound in
terest the bold and brilliant action o.
your forces"
The selection of General Foch IS also
regarded as a signal for the beGlnn!ne
of crushing counter oeffnsive, !"
which the united strength of the en-
tente powers and America VIII &c
thrown against the German armies.
Operating as a unit of one great army.
and under the sole direction OF the
most brilliant military Leaders de.
veloped by the war, the blow planned
is expected to send the Teutonic forccs
Keeling backward to a possible crush
ing defeat.
The adoption of the plan is trl-
umph for the United States, because
it was first suggested by President
Wilson.
