A FARCE

The hearing" of Secretary Baker,
over which great to.do was made
- It's promoters, is rapidly approach
ng the ridiculous and reaching the
level OF an inspired, political venture.
The very inability Of its directing
forces to make case against the
war secretary when he was recalled
before the senate military committee
"Wednesday suggests more than ever
that embarrassment of the United
States before its enemies will be the
sole result.
Already, vital war information has
been divulged through the insistence
OF Senator's Chamberlain and Hitch
cock and had it not been for sen
sible few on the committee, some ev-
en- more unfortunate revelations
might have been forced Wednesday.
Bakers frank reply OF a week ago
has made such a strong impression
upon the American public at large
that a continuation of the question

A STUPENDOUS BILL.

Stupendous indeed, is the bill which the allies
are filing up against Germany indemnity for
losses sustained in the war.
Great Britain will demand $40, 200, O0O,O for
Great Britain and her dominions in reparation
for the war. This is what the war is said to
have cost Great Britain and her doninions, and
it is estimated that British taxpayers will be re-
lieved of S2,00O0OO.0O0 year by the German
payment.
The French claim doubtless will be much larger
than that of Great Britain, while Belgiuns claim
will also mount high into the billions. And if
England and France and Belgium are to collect
from Germany what the war cost them in money
expended, in addition to reparation for damage
done by Germany in those countries, America
also can put in bill for several billion dollars.
America did not enter the war for any selfish
purposes, says the Bristol Herold Courier, but
we could hardly be charged with selfshness did
we require Germany to reimburse us for actual
money we have spent in the war, if that is to be
the policy of our associates in the war;
It is a foregone conclusion that Germany's col
onies will not be returned to her, and Great
Britain may propose to take the colonies in iqui-
dation of her claim. Alsace and Lorraine will
be returned to France, but Germany will not be
given credit on account for those provinces,
since they were forcibly taken from France by
Germany, together with an indemnity of billion
dollars. The French and Belgian claims must be
paid in money, dso must the American claim,
if we should put in claim.
1t is big bill Germany is going to receive and
the Germans already protesting that it is
heavier than they can pay. The German people,
however, must prepare themselves to meet a
great obligation.
Germany attempted to take the world by force
and must pay the cost of it's effort

Although women have had the local parlia-
mentary vote in Australia for number of
years, ranging from % years in South Australia
to 10 years in Victoria, and the national
suffrage for 16 years, they have not accom-
plished as much in regard to certain measures
OF reform as women in other lands have accom-
plished without the vote. This peculiar condi-
ton of affairs is accounted for largely by the
different methods of working adopted by the
Australian women, but more especially by the
influence of party politics.

HOLLANDS WHITE ELEPHANT

dispatch from Amsterdam quotes the Tele-
graf as saying it understands that William
Hohenzollern, the former German Emperor has
refused to leave Holland after official represen-
tations had been made that his continued pres
ence there was likely to involve the country in
serious difficulties. The former Emperor the
paper adds, told that his free departure
would be a matter of qualification to the Dutch
Government.
The Hohenzollern's reluctance or refusal to
quit Dutch soil is understandable. It may be
safe for him to return to Germany some day,
but not now nor soon. He can not reach Swift
zerland without passing through Germany or
through Belgium and France. He can not reach
either of the Scandinavian States without pass
ing through the northwest corner of Germany
or travelling through the North Sea, and bv
either route his path would be beset with danger.
And could he reach Switzerland or one of the
Scandinavian States, the only neutral countries
LETT In Europe except Spain, which he could not
possibly reach, he would be no more secure than
he is in Holland.
The Dutch Government would avoid the en-,
barrassment it will face when extradition of the
ex-Kaiser is demanded by the Allies but there
is no way out of it. Unwelcome guest though
ne knows himself to be, he will decline to shake
the dust from his feet against Holland. He is
there to stay until he is forced to leave which
will be when the Allies ask for him and Holland
delivers him up to be tried for his crimes
