In Italy Spanish Influenza pa

epidemic struck this country. the
American Red Cross throughout
Italy organized distribution of
condensed milk among the suf-

One can of condensed milk di-
luted with water gives three
quarts Of milk. About two'pints
and a half are allatted daily to
each person.

President Wilson and the
Peace Conference

President Wilson's trip abroad
to attend the peace conference is
a wise and appropriate undertake
ing. There are several reasons
why he should be at hand.
In the first place. the German
advances for peace have been
made to him aud presented to the
Allies thru his agency.
In the second place, at the con-
ference many questions will nat
urally come up which will be sub
ject to marked differences Of
opinion. The Allies. necessarily
harmonious in time of war, may
disagree in regard to the terms
OF peace. President Wilson'S
authority and personality are-liKe
ly to be stronger factor in COM
posing any such diff -rences. The
fact that America has nothing to
ask for herself will strengthen
his position.
In the third place, the America
seeks neither indemnity nor an
nexation of territory. she mas a
real grave interest in many OF the
adjustments To be made. Who
can handle these matters as well
as Mr.. Wilson? We applaud his
decision to 20.

The Challenge of the Past.

Most of US are good people. We
admit it. If we wern't we would
Mt admit q as often as VIC do.
The trouble is to get the other
people to believe it.
When a man has a first-class
opportunity of profiting by sinis-
ter practices and hasn't taken ad
vantage of it he doesn't need to
toot his horn. His record does
that for him.
Your Uncle Sam is in the posi-
ton of that gentleman. He has
had many a chance of territorial
expansion at the expense of weak
er neighbors. and has turned il
down. He isn't perfect. but his
record is pretty good, and it will
help him at the peace conference
Not many of the conferees will
attend with as clear conscience.
The world is fortunate in not
having to depend on guesswork
in sizing up Americas principles
1t. has the same advantage with
regard to the British navy.
If England were to assure US
that naval supremacy would be
benevolently used we might be
skeptical III default of proof But
England's maritime strength has
been exercised with singular be-
nevolence notably in the sup
preston of slave traffic where no
mercenary motive was even faint
ly perceptible. Just exactly whu
has been victimized by it is hard
to say.
The nearing Of that myster-
ious expression The freedom of
the seas" has never been COM
p.etely clarified. Ii doesn't need
to be. We know by experience
what free seas are. The seas
have been free to everybody since
Noah went sailing. it is rather
late to start an argument about
it now.
If Uncle Sam contributes his
vast naval power to policing of
the oceans no one will welcome
him more heartily than john Bull
But Johnny is not likely to junk
his dreadnaughts. and we should
worry while Johnny pays for

The Cause Of the Spirit of
Hatred in Germany.

We have known the Germans
who have settled among us as a
kindly. patient. enterprisinR and
inoffensive people. Such also
was the estimate which most ma
tiohs had formed of the German
race. The atrocities which Ger
many committed in the war-its
relapse into cruelties of barbar-
m-have been the marvel of the
/ world impossible of belief until
proved by unimpeachable testi-
mony.
The original cause of these cru
elites was the spirit Of hatred
which the German government
instilled into the army. In the
early days Of the war the author
of the Hymn Of Hate" ran
corous and bitter poem directed
against England, was decorated
by the government, and the YER
ses themselves were sung with
acclaim thruout the army. The
same spirit was shown when the
German government struck a
model comnemorating the de-
structioc Of the ''Lusitania."
The evidence of ha r d has
been notably absent from the
French armies. France has suf-
fered more cruelty from the war
than any other of the allied ma
tions. but we read that her SOL
diers as a rule have showed much
kindness toward German prison.
ers.
We trust that cur young men
will lluld the same humanity in
their hearts-that as our presi-
dent has always done. they will
discriminate carefully between
the cruel and autocratic German
government and the misled peo-
pie who obeyed and trusted it.
We shall look for our boys to
come home with just Indignation,
indeed. toward the German war;
time excesses and cruelties, but
with only sympathy in their
hearts fer the German civilian
and peasant classes, who have
suffered much in the years Of war

WOMEN MAKE GOOD
in METAL TRADES
Large Percentage Likely to Re
main at Work After Peace is
Signed; Equal Men.

What is TO become of the women who
nave taken the places of the men in the
shops and factories? Will they he dis
placed by men as the labor stringency Is
relieved, or will they be retained?
II Is safe TO say that "A large percentage
of tho women have entered the industrial
ranks to stay, and thousands OF positions
formerly held by men will in the future be
held almost exclusively by women. The
war has brought about many changes in
our industrial life and MANY of these
changes are here to stay Woman has
demonstrated her ability to do equally as
good work In many lines of trade as man
can do and in some cases has shown her
superiority to man. Ono great thing IN
her favor Is that she can be secured at \
lower wage than the average man can
work for. and this will prove to hr quite
an item IN her favor during the trying
days Of reconstruction.
The employment Of women IN large
numbers in the metal trades is regarded
= entirely practicabac bv the National
industrial, Conference Board. which III a
recent report on war tune employment ot
women lin the metal trades asserts that
employers generally commend women

made up by !, higher quality OF work.
The report summarizes information ob-
famed from 131 establishments employing
80 .ol1 men and 1888 women. The
vcstigation demonstrated that no cx-
tensive substitution of women for men
has as yet taken place in the metal trades.
Gut of 96 establishments reporting on
sui ,stitutlon, only l0.S0l women were en-
plovcd on work formerly done exclusively
y men, and Of this number approximately
one half were IN ten munition plants
While the work done by women in the
metal trades embraces a wide variety Of
occupation, they are found chiefly iii the
lighter forms OF operation. The report
emphasizes strongly that work Of q
rcpetitvo character is specially suited to
women.
In 66 out Of 90 establishments where
women and men were working NJ the
