CONGRESS AND CONSUMPTION.

the military registration which provides that they be
placed at the bottom of the list on the ground that would
establish precedent that might make trouble. The con-
Try at large will object to because is an indication that
hostility to the operation of democratic military system
during time of war persists Congress where by this time
the exact nature Of the crisis that cOnronts the country
should be thoroughly understood
When the country went TO war there considerable
sentimental opposition to anything that suggested universal
military service. Mr.. Byans theory that million voun-
teers would rise up over night if the country needed them
was shared by many Few people who held to these the
oes stopped to consider that the country would be just as
helpless in these days, when is matter OF specially
trained forces. with mushroom army of millions as it
would be without any army at ALL but that the feeling
and for the time being it was worthy of respect.
But we have been in the war for more than year. We
have had considerable experience in raising and training
armies and there is not the slightest why any
should be at all patient with efforts Congress out of
1t to obuet the orderly process which decided upon
when the seectye consumption prncp pie was adopted The
country whole has accented this the only fair and
effective method Of raising an army in the United States.
As the system has been worked out is the only possible
way In which the principle which obtained in the early
days of the Republic that every man must be willing
fight for the liberty and security he enjoys be applied
Therefore there ought not 10 be any delay in granting
the request Of the Provost Marshal General that the bill
on passage be brought into line with the policy Of the
government.
THE BATTLE IN FLANDERS.
LII the account, of the fighting which took place in
~ the country near Ypres Monday indicate that the
Germans suffered a severe check, but it would be
mistake to assume that the effect Of tbs will be more than
temporary. German dead were left in piles many times
during the Crown Princes effort 10 drive through the
French defenses at Verdun but the All Highest thinks Of
German sacrifices only as so many military units gone.
ed Just as was the case at Verdm the pressure on the
hoTlhcrn battlefield will only be relaxed when the danger
away from the present operation.

had learned thoroughly the necessity Of unity Of ac6on.
Now there is single headed control Of all the forces OPP

go for time along the line which has followed

At Verdun the French bore the whole br1nt of The
German assault for long time Later British troops
sent to share the fighting but the real British part in that
great battle epic did not begin until the British army
was turned in further north. Now British and French are
fighting practically side by side, and need fear thai
Foch will delay his counter stroke hour longer than the
military situation requires.
But while we know these things to be true must Iso
realize that unless there some unexpected evenuay in

Because Senator Sutherland did not vote for the Over
man bill The Times makes the silly charge that the
President receives no support from West virgina's
Republican senator's" Senator Sutherands opposition
to this probably based upon broad grounds
and he had the courage to vote according to his convc
tons-a sign of strength that is too these
days If there is anything essentially reprehensibe in
not supporting the President why does The Times not
turn its guns on the Senators from Georgia. Oklahoma
Missouri the Democratic Senator from Nebraska and
others who invariably fail to support the President
although they manage to vote right sometimes even
though such votes squarey in opposition to their
sentiments. These men, all Democrats, would scuttle
the ship of state they could merely to satisfy tn
personal hatred for the President and frequently in
the past the administrations most important egs-
lation would have been defeated utterly through the
activities of this boshevk element in the Democratic
party but for the loyal and effective support given Nj
Wilson by the Republicans in Congress. Under the cir
cumstances the less Democratic newspapers have to say
about supporting the President the better it will be
that party.

What Is Genius7
George in Harper's Magazine

w. l.. George in Harper's Magazine.
 Carlyle was much laughed at for say ing that genius was an infinite capacity for taking pains. That does not sound like geninus; one imagines genius as travelling its hair, whatever raveing may be. and producing the immortal word to the accompaniment of epileptic fits; absinthe also goes with genius very we'll But in reality, genius, I suspect. is a tanner affair, and arises easily enough in men like Rembrandt. who painted pie lures because he liked doing it and be- cause the sitters paid him for their DOT traits; much more satisfactorily to Car lyle 1t arises in men like Flaubert who revealed much of his attitude in one phrase of his correspondence, Today I have worked 16 hours and have at last finished my page" Therein lies the diff ference between Flaubert and De Mau- passant it may be, too, that Boileau was right in advising the poet a hundred times to replace his work upon the bench. endlessly polish it, and polish it again, but many instances of almost spontane- ous creation confront us; it Is enough to quote that in six years. between 1902 and 1908, Shakespeare appears to have written il plays, among them Julius Caesar" Hamlet" "Othello," Macbeth and King Lear What shall we say. then. of that vague thing, genius, which Is to mankind what the thing we call soul is to man? For my part believe 1t to be volcanic rather than sedimen- tary. It is as If the spirit of the race accumulated in creature. the spirit of life claiming to be born. Genius will out, but it Is most frequent in certain periods of human history, such as the Elizabethan or Medicean, in certain places, such as France. Italy and the Low Countries, under certain influences. such as oppression, war, revolution, or social decay. That is an interesting cat alogue, and. if history repeats itself the future for genins, as evidenced particu- larly in art would be black. for there have been few periods where comfort. ease and security bred genius It is as if the plant needed something to push against. Every day life becomes more secure. justice more certain, property more assured; humanity grows fat, and
 the grease of it's comfort collects round its heart, It is difficult to imagine genius flourishing in world perfectly administered by city councils

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, January 4.-There was a sharp advance in cotton last week. December contracts maintained large premium over January right up to the last moment and as soon as trading in that delivery ceased January moved up to December's former position in re- lation to southern spot markets. Late months felt the strength of the near positions, while reports of continued drouth in the southwest seemed to create more demand for October which had been selling at very big dis counts compared with present crop de- liveries. Buying was also encouraged by the continued presence of trade de- mand around the ring and by Thurs day January contracts had sold at 31.77c and March at 31.25c, or more than cents per pound above the re- cent low level. Realizing then became more active, while the market also seemed to run into increased hedge selling and there were sharp reac- tions on reports that Carolina mills were being forced to close owing td shortage of water Later advices indi, !, cated that these mills would reopen Monday and a renewal of active trade buying gave the market very firm undertone at the close of the week.
 Nearly an advices received from the south serve to emphasize unfavora b le features in the new crop outlook and apprehensions of another short yield have doubtless played an important part on the weeks advance. Another factor has been indications that prac- tically all the cotton attracted to market by the 30-cent level has been absorbed, as fair business has been reported in the southern spot mar kets at railways verging we'll above that figure. No change was reported in the ocean freight situation, but al- lotments of January tonnage are now, being made and increased clearances are looked for this month. Rumors of small ginning returns probably con- tributed the advance, but would be partly explained by unfavorab ble weather during the last period.

Pensions for Preachers
From Leslie's.

r fOiti l<cSiic 3.
 Pensiops! Liberty loans may be over subscribed, but it seldom happens that church appeal for funds has this re- sulr. This is the experience of Bishop Lawrence. who undertook to raise $. 200. : 0c0 for a pension system for clergymen of the Protestant Episcopal church. More than that sum has already been paid in. while total cash and pledges amount to sS,7l2,0oo The pension granted is. not less than s600 a year nor more than half the recipients average salary. Widows and orphans are assured pro- portionate help. The Protestant Epis- eoral church may well be proud of ita achievement. The ministry is tho most undespaiel Of callings. n situation whose worst effects appear when clergymen are forced to retire through illness or ola age It is serious reflection on the church when 1t takes poorer care of its ministers than indpstri Il corporations take of their employees.
