report. if true, that he has been in- vited by the Dutch government to leave Holland and refused to comply.
 When the ex-kaiser realized that all was up. that his armies had been beaten and that 1t was necessary to institute peace proceedings. he did not overlook the fact that it was of the utmost importance to consider his own safety. He sought protection from Holland not cnly against the allies but against those in his own country who would deal no more gently with him. He was looking out for himself and even now he fully understands the embarrassment which he is caus- ing the Dutch. That is given secondary consideration, however, for he is no more willing to return to Germany than he ever was and there is mo- where else he can go. It Is not part of his makeup to do unseIfish things It makes no difference to him that Germany imposed great hardships upon the Dutch during the war. or that it violated it's rights.

AN INJUSTICE.

One of the deeply regrettable things in connection with the raising of the large army in this country Is the large number of complaints which are being made over the failure of the government to take care of the de- pendents of the men who have vol unteered or been called into the ser vice. There are intimations that there will be an Investigation asked into this matter and it would seem to be advisable in view of the fact that there are wives, mothers and children who have failed to receive the pay which has been allotted them by their husbands, sons or fathers, and the worst of it is not that they will not set it but that they have failed to gei it for periods of not one. two and three months but of three, five and seven months when the people have been turning over their money to the government for this as well as othei uses and when it is all too we'll un- derstood that a soldiers pay by nc means puts him in the class of the profiteers.
 It is regretted that in many cases Lhese dependents have hardly knowr which way to turn to get a living They have been obliged in some in. stances to ask for charity. bart though it was. The war risk insur ance bureau has admitted that it's or sanitation was back in i:s work fl this respect. and it is of course un 6erstood that it involved no sligh task but when we have been told tha many departments could be placed ol much more efficient basis with muel less help if the heads were allowed f exercise their judgment aaH eliminat much of the red tape the cue to i'm
 proving the situation would seem t
 be provided. It is certainly deplora ble when it is realized how some hay

THE CASUALTY LIST.

While 1t is known that a large amount of work is involved ;n gath ering the data which is necessary in order 10 put forth the casualty lists, the careful work Of verifying the re- ports at headquarters after they are sent in from the field stations re- uuiring much time in order to assure as great accuracy as possible, it IS nevertheless a bit disconcerting that the list of killed in action and those who have died from wounds and dis. ease has not been completed before this lime. This may be because of a lack of knowledge of the detail that Is required, but it Is probable that less would have been thought about the delay and more tolerant attitude shown toward the manner in which the lists are being furnished if the state. rnent had not been put forth by the war department some weelss ago tha; the casualty list would not greatly exceed 100000.
 That. as it now appears, must havc been put forth without due regard fot the situation or a knowledge of the conditions as they actually existed although 1t was accepted as bein, based upon facts. and for that reason 1t was with great surprise that tn, announcement was made a week ol two after the armistice had been sign. ed that the list included the names o, over a quarter of a million, with thu explanation. however, that a largr proportion of them were cases O slight wounds and instances where tn, same man had been wounded nor than once and probably recovered That, however. was not the who'll story for 1t was only a few days be fore an addition Of over 26 900 wa made thereto and now we get still an other addition of over 10000, all bu T thousand or so of which are nun hered among tho severely wounded This unquestionably represents tn hard fighting which took place in tn last few days, but 1t only emphasize the more the mistake which was mad of putting forth an estimate so lon ago which was only about a third c what is now said to be the number.

 she was here she found she hadn't

 ner she never has the right sort of duds. If she lays in a. lot of thin things she finds the weather freezing
 all summer; if she takes heavy things it is hotter than Tophet: if she packs a lot of GTessy duds she finds the place rough and if she takes rough outfits she discovers everybody wearing ev- ening clothes regularly.

 May is the pleasantest month of the year and the valleys then look their best. Snow, of course, lies in the mountains until well into the spring, but seldom lasts throughout the summer, as the tallest reacks dc not attain an elevation of more than 5000 feet.

NOW THE WAR IS OVER.

If one could look into the future ond see for a certainty just what the situation is going to be for the next few years during the readjustment period he could overcome much anx- iety. But with the war over it is generally agreed by those in a po- sltion to know that the country is go- ing to swing from It's war business to peace time activity without any pro- longed slowing up of the wheels of Industry or any overcrowding of the labor market.
 It is well understood that business in many lines has given way to war work The result Is that many arti- cles that are needed are not available in any great quantity. With the de- mand which there will be for them fl means that the factories, mills and plants are going to set about the task of providing them just as rapidly as the readjusting conditions will per. init. The goods are going to be made ready for the demand. This will nol mean that they are going to be pilet up tn anticipation of orders because o1 ihe uncertainty of prices but business ought nevertheless to gather speed from now on.
 Many who were thrown out of theil regular employment and perhaps wen into war work will return to their ok jobs. The returning soldiers will fo the most part find their former em pioyment or better waiting for them The shipping board is seeking mel by the thousands and there is said t be a shortage of three million or nor or the farms. Immigration is by n means going to fill these places whil the many building trades are within a brief time due to attract far nor than were ever engaged in them be fore. It is a time when both capita ard labor must take a sensibl view of the situation and to their ut most to meet it and give the countr not only an early but a sound star on what should be one of the greates periods of prosperity in its history.

CT so good or bad as ther have been painted, but certainly they are worth the effort necessary to Gevelope them and their country. Their chief de- sire now is to be allowed to manage their own affairs and to work their little farms in the fertile valleys, to herd their sheep and weave their gar ments of wool. if only trey are lei alone. They do not submit easily to government; have no love for chance strangers, and are slow to accept change in the manner Of living Or Of cultirating the fields.

WISE SUGGESTIONS.

A matter which Secretary Lane pre- sents in his annual report. and which ought to get due attention, is his ap- peal for measures which will bring about a reduction of the illiteracy in the country and the building up of Americanisn. He wants to know what is to be said for democracy wherein ten per cent. of it's adult population cannot read the laws they are pre- sdnned to know, and which calls upon it's citizens to consider the wisdom of forming a league of nations. of passing judgment upon code which will insure the freedom of the seas, or of sacrificing the daily stint Of wheat or meat for the benefit of the people of Europe, when IS per cent. of the coming citizens of thar democracy dc not go to school.
 He calls attention to the fact that out of the first two million men draft cd for our army raised for the de, tense of democracy there were ZOO. 900 who could not read their orders ! or understand them when delivered CT read their letters sent them iron home, and that there are millions O. people in this country who cannot b. reached except through foreign-lan. | guage publications.
 Some of these things have been un derstood. Not little effort has beer put forward to bring about an i'm } proyement. but Is there any wonde l that the secretary of the interio
 should call for the giving of seriou attention to these matters? There i need for the devotion of greater effor in this direction. We sh0lid give tn
 necessary thought in behalf of legis
 lation which will gradually brint
 about change in these conditions
 The fight against ilIiteracy cannot b
 too consistently yaged and the build
 ing up of Americanism is somethin
 which calls for constant effort.

GETTING RID OF WILHELM.

Holland is reported to be showing a much more favorable attitude to the allied nations. It is but natural to wonder whether this is going to have any effect upon the course which is going to be pursued in regard to the demand of the entente nations for the handing over of the former kaiser who has taken refuge in that coun- try.
 There are reasons to believe that Hollands peace of mind has not been increased by the fact that it is har- boring the head of the house of Ho- henzollern. This is indicated by the

 One of the immediate results of the Czecho -SloYaks' success in Siberia is the reopening of normal traffic on the Trans Siberian railway, at least as far as Irkuts1. the service between Vladi- vostok and Harbin having been in op- eratien for some time, and 1t is no strain upon the imagination to antici- pate through communication to Europe at no distant date.
 The American railway commission in Siberia has contributed to this re- suit. About eighty of the 900 mem bers of the commission which was &C., cepted by the KerenslSy Government went for months to Nagasah after the Bolshevik revolution but the remain der spent the time in Siberia. where by mixing with the Russian workers and demonstrating simple improve ments and up-to-date methods they gradually introduced changes which have enormously increased the eff l ciency of a portion of the line.
