THE GLORIES OF SPACE.
A Mathematical Consideration Of Ca

In the northeast and east and rising
higher and higher as midnight draws

tracted more and more to the majesty
Of cosmic space.
When Captlla and Aldcbaran are
sparkling and cleaning in the east it
seems to many OF us almost impossible
that both OF them should be trillons Of
miles distant. Yet not only CapeIla and
Aldebaran but also every sun OF night
glittering amid the darkened dome Is
trillions and trillions OF miles away
from us. and the light from every sun
Of night takes. ms rule. years and

For example. Capella In the constel-

1t seems Incredible that such an

most unsophisticated German, the
best disciplined of Prussians, could
not have failed to observe 80 glaring

is that an incomplete summary Of the

Germany To. day.

The revolution in Germany pro
ceeds with such rapidity that the COM
plete transformation Of that country
IL distant at the longest only n few
hours With the Socialists and the
troops fraternlzing in Berlin, with
military officers in the interior cities
offering their services to the new
administrators, with the population
and soldiers singing the Marseillaise
in the streets of the capital, the
armies in the field will not be deaf
to the message of the hour. Their
temper Of tomorrow, IL not Of to-day,
may be accurately revealed in the con-
duct Of those individuals and units
that have already accepted capture,
declaring thai with the end Of the
struggle in sight they can see no use
In dying.
In the proclamation issued to the
"citizens" Of Germany by Chancellor
EBERr is disclosed a tone new to
German state documents. His words
are neither bombastic nor menacing,
Instead Of endeavof.ng to coerce the
German people h rhetoric he endeav-
Ors to reason with them. Forecaeting
as he does acceptance Of the arms
tice terms offered by Marshal FocH
in behalf Of the Allies and the United
States, the Chancellor lays bare to
the public the grim necessities of Its
case, and points out to 1t the supreme
requirement of situation In which
their preservation from the miseries
Of anarchy can be won only by the
preservation of good order through
self-restraint. This proclamation IS
the antlthesis of the outgivings Of
the Imperial government III apparent
sincerity,
At present there appears to be rea-
son to hope, IL not to expect, that the
German people, profting by their dis
cipline and their generally high level
of education, may make the transition
from autocracy to democracy without
a prolonged interval Of madness such
as has laid Russia PROSTATE. That
this may be the case will be the sin
cere prayer OF all enlightened men
who labor for the permanent enthrone.

A Man Who "Has Deserved Well Of
His Country"

In the gallery OF the great whose
names have been written indelibly
on the page of history since the war
began, none exercises stronger
power over imagination and affection
than GEORGES ClEMENcEAU. Last
week the Senate of France declared
him to have deserved we'll Of his
country he has indeed deserved well
Of the world.
When he came to the Premiership
the resources, the courage. the will
Of France were held In leash. De
featists and traitors escaped the mer-
tied penalties Of their treason. Toler-
ance in politics that came near to
weakness handicapped the armies of
the republic. At moment when dis
nster TO France meant disaster to
civilization, French devotion, skill and
strength were sapped by insidious en-
emles beyond reach of the military,
and apparently immune from attack
by the civil authorities.
Then 1t was that the Tiger Of
France. old in years, old in wisdom.
old in experience, young In vigor of
mind and body, was called to power.
All the ripe knowledge Of n full life
of activity. Nil tho determination of
n mind and body dedicated to sin
gle purpose. were devoted to the su-
preme task Of the day. The follies
and the crimes that had hampered
his predecessors were assailed with
out fear; vacillation and indecislon
vanished; n challenge was thrown in
the face Of traitor and doubter; and
the real France, the heroic France,
was allowed once more to pursue her
destiny unimpeded.
This great work has been done
without mock heroics, without posing,
, with simplicity :nd dlrectness I'M
affected and genuine. The humanity
OF the agent on whom Fate put the
burden and for whom Fate opened
the door OF opportunity has never
been denied In word or deed or ges-
ture. A fine contempt for consistency
In small things has thrown into high
relief the supreme consistency In
those things that mattered.
Truly, GEORGES CLEMENcEAU has
deserved wei, Of hi; country.

According to a British Wireless Ser
vice message, the German Wireless
Service, then an instrument Of the au-
tocracy, in reporting on November 4
the conditions of the armistice to
which Austria Hungary agreed on
that day added this paragraph Of
comment or Interpretation:
at Is assumed that the conditions are
not to be understood in such n way
that enemy armies might use the free
dom of movement for an attack on
Germany"
'This assumption" says the Brit
ish Wireless Service, as contrary to
the truth" Not only is 1t contrary
10 the truth, but it is contrary to the
explicit provisions Of the armietice.
The fourth section of the carefully
prepared document submitted by Gen
eral DIAz to the Austro-Hungarian
commissioners consists Of two para
graphs, the first of which reads as
follows in the translation given out
by the State Department at Wash
ington, the italics being ours:
-. The Allies shall have the right Of
free movement over all road and rail
and water ways In Austro-Hunsarisn
territory and OF the use OF the neces-
sary Austrian and Hungarian means OF
transportation. The armies OF the as
sociated Powers shall occupy such ara-
tegic points in Austria Hungary at
times as they may deem necessary to
enable them TO conduct military opera
lions or to maintain order"
1t is plain from this that the "as-
ISOLATED Powers Allies and the
United Stntrs-eNpressly provided in

ment and for bases necessary to en-
nbie them TO conduct military opera
