LET'S LEARN FROM OUR BOYS

It is said that our boys in France
are not opinionated or at all chesty'
but 90 about their business quietly IN
the conscientiousness that they are
first OF all learners and simply part
Of the great army of the Allies AS
I see some things, many Of US here at
home have still to get into this spirit
and l think there Is too much talk
about our having done the whole
great job of turning back the Huns.
But l do think but for our boys, the
war would not yet have been ended
and peace proclaimed. But we Ameri'
cans, I think should not get all pulled
up with the idea that we are the only
nation to dictate the terms OF this
peace we have been hoping FOR for
the past year or more, and the latest
declaration in which the idea OF a
league of nations was elaborated,
hardly received any notice In Europe.
This war has been too serious mat
ter to those nations to think thus far
Of readjustments so early after the
war has ended over there. J don't
think that we should believe that
America alone is to fix the terms Of
peace but that in the end all the
warning nations by reason Of our atti'
tude will flock around us and listen
to what we may have to say. These
are critical moments through which
we are passing and I would say go
slow for there are others to be con
sidered. Great Britain, France and
Italy have likely their own ideas OF
what the peace terms should be. Pos
sibly we could learn Of these several
nations the best procedure in these
trying times. So let's get this firmly
fixed in our minds for I must think
that 1t would be a mighty good thing
to do: 1t is very natural for these
allied nations to formulate their own
peace terms and will very likely want
to enforce them. So the end is not
yet in sight, and others are to have q
finger in the great pie.
Sincerely thine, W. 8. B.

WOMAN REPRESENTATIVE
FROM NEW YORK Is KEPT
IN SUSPENSE "a HOURS

New York, Nov. 21.-Mrs, Mary NJ
Lilly, elected to the Assembly by tine
Democrats OF the Seventh Assembly
district, Manhattan, had to walt "a
hours before being sure OF victory.
During this time she was reported
both as winner and loser "by small
majority" and 1t was not until last
Friday night that the final results
were known.
Mrs. Lilly's election is one OF the
surprises of the 1918 campaign. Ac-
cording to the official figures OF the
board of elections she won by plur'
atty of 174 votes In district that for
years has been solidly Republican.
Victory was won, according to Mrs.
Lilly and her campaign manager Mrs.
Lillian B. Sire, through the effective
educational campaign carried on by
the women OF the Seventh Assembly
district. Every house Of the district
was covered by women who organized
for work during registration week.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE

We think the question as to wheth-
er President Wilson should 90 in
person to the peace conference is one
that could be better settled by him
than by anyone else. He knows what
he wishes to impress on the confer
ence and whether he can do 1t better
by his own participation in person
than through agents and If he thinks
he can be more effective he should
go. He has announced clear pur-
poses in the war and they have beer.
received in this country either with
approval or without condemnation
Under the circumstances America is
pledged to carry out the plans he has
announced for he was by virtue of his
position authorized to speak for this
country and when he spoke without
objection the country was committed
to his views.
We would be going into the scrap.
of-paper business on our own account
II our authorized agent announced
that we were fighting for one purpose
and 1t turned out after we had won
victory that we had been fighting
for something entirely different. OF
course as we are associated with 9TH
er nations in this war our aims may
not be entirely carried out, for others
will have voice in the decision. It
may be stated. however, that others
did not object when the President
stated his purposes and this should
be considered as binding on all. But
the representatives Of the other ma
lions will have to decide whether Il
is binding on them.
Unquestionably we will have more
influence at the peace conference II
President Wilson attends in person
than If he does not. II he attends It
is for him to say how long he will
remain, but we are Of the opinion that
he should remain until everything =
settled. We would expect break In
the harmony Of the American position
II its advocate were changed in the
midst of the discussion. This might
not be true. 1t might not be neces
sary for the President to remain un-
til the end and he will know better
than anyone else whether 1t Is nee
essary and will act on that knowl-
edge, but we think 1t probable that
whatever he starts he will remain to
finish.
The trainers Of the constitution
knew nothing about the telegraph and
so did not say whether the President
could sign or veto bills by telegraph
or not. But the signature or veto
would be an expression of his will IN
matter concerning which the con-
stitution gives him authority and his
will could be as well expressed by
telegraph as by q personal signature
affixed in Washington. Jacksonville

DRIVE A nail IN
kAISER'S COFFIN
Plan to Boost Thrift Stamp Sale
Would Yield $4,000

The construction Of a casket for
the burial Of an effigy of Kaiser Will
helm as a means for boosting the
sale Of Thrift Stamps is proposed by
A. L. Smith of So Connecticut ave-
nue.. Mr.. Smith proposes that the
proper authorities approve such a
plan as he has in mind and offers to
aid in the project.
Mr.. Smiths suggests the construc-
ton Of a casket ten feet long and
three feet square. He would have
the surface marked off into squares
so that when finished there would be
points for driving 72,6S8 nails. The
plan proposes that the casket be
placed in a tent at Central Park with
an attendant present. The attendant
would sell Thrift Stamps and every
purchaser of one dollars worth
would be permitted to drive a nail
in the kaisers coffin. The receipts
from the sale would amount to $72,-
688 if all were sold. A live wire act
ing as a ballyhoo would do a thrlv-
ing business. Mr.. Smith suggests
that Saturday afternoons and eve-
nings a band playing at the park
would attract a crowd.
When the work of driving all the
nails in the coffin was completed
Mr.. Smith would have a public flu
neral The date of the funeral would
depend on the public support Of the
project. At that time an effigy would
be made up and a suitable inscrip-
ton plate would be put on the casket
and funeral services would be held
Mr.. Smith anticipates there would
be little, expense in connection with
the project as in his opinion the lum-
Der and hardware dealers would
cheerfully give up the necessary ma
terials. His sincerity and willingness
to cooperate in this project is evi.
denced by the fact that he offers to
undertake the scheme and boost il
along if the proper persons furnish
the stamp statesmen and other attend.

Girl TELLS Court
REVOLVING STORY
George Holden Bound Over to
June Term Of Superior Court

So small that she had to stand on
a chair in the witness box in the po-
lice court in order to be seen and
heard better, a siN-year-old girl testi-
fed in police court this morning to
most revolving assault alleged to have
been committed by George Holden, So
years old. Judge James T. Meskill
found probable cause and bound the
accused one to the next term of the
superior court under $500 bonds.
AS the little girl told her story and
described the actions Of Holden the
blood Of more than one spectator in
the court room ran cold. In some
communities Holdens actions would
be followed with an application of
tar and feathers at least, and possibly
lynChing. The alleged assault took
place Monday afternoon at 335 Main
street Monday afternoon and Holden
was arrested yesterday afternoon
The child Witness pretty and equal
ly smart, testified that Holden, whom
she pointed out in the prisoners pen,
came to her house. Her brother was
present, but the father and mother
were working at q factory. Having
visited there before he walked right
in. He arrived about o'clock and
remained until about 500. His ac-
tons are unprintable. After the as
sault he gave the girl % cents cents
Detective Sergeant Richardson testified
that after Holden was arrested he ad-
mitted having been to the house, but
did not recall all his actions. He
had been drinking. 1t was true he
gave the children pennies. The girl
was brought in and she told of his
actions.
Holden has a court record. A few
years ago he was charged with as
suit with intent to kill and served
a years sentence. He shot a colored
man named Raymond and was cap
tured only after a hard fight by Pa
trOlman John l.. Carlson.
Unlicensed Dogs.
Three dog owners were before
Judge James T. Meskill in police court
this morning. James F. White was
fined So for letting his dog run at
large. He had licensed the dog in
the name of Thomas Starr.
Steve WarsieWicz denied a charge
of keeping an unlicensed dog. He
owns two dogs and had licensed only
one. A fine of S3 was imposed.
Dominis Pasanti said he did not
know he had to license his dog He

Of IS was levied on him.
