The Old Roads.
st. Louis Globe. Democrat

| We have taken occasion. before
| the beginning Of our war had so
much intensified all OF our traffic
problems, to comment on the posi-
| bilities of motor truck carriage for
the relief OF congestion. For freight
congestion did not develop with the
war. Such concessions are within
the recent memory OF such as re-
| member at all, and the short lived
bread riots in New York antedated
the entrance OF the United States into
the battle OF the world. The most
cheering thing reported out of the
recent meeting Of tho highways
transport committee OF the national
council OF defenSe. In a conference
or Its IL regional chAirmen, is this:
"Repor;s made ny the regional chair
men show tonnage moved over the
highways increasing at a tremendous
rate, In some states as much as 400
per cent increase over last year be-
Ing shown"
The making Of new and better
roadways ~ to no inconsiderable eX-
tent a necessary preliminary TO a
constantly enlarging use OF these
natural means OF communication
But that is surely and steadily COM
ing, even H. at points on the map, II
Is being delayed longer than at 9TH
ers. Secretary kedfield, addressing
the regional delegates, said that he
regarded highway. waterway and
railway rs n trinity OF economic use
fulness, incapable OF fullest function
unless all factors OF 1t were de-
veloped efficiently" Secretary Lane
of the department OF the interior
told ho'V the development OF high
way traffic Is essential to success of
his great plan for locating returned
soldiers on lands now unfruitful but
to be made productive by the toll of
men with ambitions to serve, just as
the great west vas developed.
Possibly Herbert Hoover, food ad-
ministrator, struck the note in the
conference which will find the most
ready response In the breasts OF the
great army OF ultimate consumers
now constituting such large and
constantly growing element in the
country's population, The food COM
missioner saw in the development OF
the rapid rural express n means OF
saving perishablc foodstuffs now pro-
duced and Of stimulating production
OF more food and so lowering the
cost OF living, while at the same time
conserving man power for a more
intensive tilling OF the soil. The old
road" has often figured in poetry and
romance. It has filled worthy place
in many such visions, even while do
ing, and never In | small way, a good
part OF the worlds work. The vision
which can see the old roads as high
ways for a vastly greater commerce,
and a large serving OF world need,
might have been called romantic.
Now Il Is practical

gel they were in the same empire
but they were 5000 miles apart,
This gives you some idea OF the
colossal size OF Russia.
The Arctic circle runs little
north OF Archangel.
Archangel Is on an arm OF the
White sea, which. before the out
break OF the present war, was
thought TO be frozen over almost the
entire year. There Is railroad
running direct down through Rus
sld to Moscow.
After the outbreak OF the war the
Russians attempted to build another
railroad TO an open port on the Arc
tic ocean. This port is called Kola
and Is open the year round.
Great things may come Of the es-
tablishment Of the American army
at Archangel The people OF north
Russia are not tinctured with boil
shevJsm. They are loyal Russians
and. II properly supported. they will
rally TO the allies.

II so. we would feel assured OF his
place among the great writer's of the
world, who care not rap for gram
marians or for grammar, and who
flout the one and violate the other,
often unconscloGsiy but sometimes
deliberately.
We nave before us as we write an
impressive volume dealing with the
grammatical "errors" OF great writ
ers, and we find from this critical
authority that no one OF them can
cast the first stone. for no one il
without sin. His examples OF faulty"
English constitute tan indictment Of
all literature, ana there is hardly a
name that shines in the armament
of words tnat is not subjected to his
attack. Such masters OF English as
Hardy and Ruskin and Lowell and
Howells and Maclulay. and scores
of others 1t would be tedious to name,
and such authorities on English con-
struction as Professor Lounsbury and
Brander Matthews. receive his con-
demnation. President Wilson is fire.
quently quoted t. show his mistakes
All OF which proves not that this
judgment IS right, but that 1t is
wrong. 1t proves that they are su-
perior TO the petty limitations OF
grammatical precision. We would
not go 30 far as to say that they
are great because they are ingram
matical but we do assert that they
are ungranmatical because they are
great, too great to be enslaved by
the punctilios OF the grammarians. II
Shakespeare. who never saw an Eng

assume that his superiority is due, in
some measure at least, to his utter
freedom from grammatical re-

Save a Million Men.

The more men we have on the
front the more lives will be saved in
this war.
This seems a contradiction, a par
adox. 1t seems so to civilians but
not to soldiers. 1t is the simplest
OF truths, As long as our forces and
those of the enemy balance each
other, the war will drag on and the
nations will steadily bleed. When
our forces are overwhelming or pre-
ponderate declsively, the war will
end as 1t must end, in our victory.
Therefore. the more men we send
and the quicker we send them, the
sooner war will end and with it the
loss OF life and all the watse and
destruction OF warfare.
The more men we have IN France
the sooner the end will come, and the
more the American people save in
the consumption OF what the soldiers
need, the more soldiers we can keep
in France.
That means so many less Ameri-
can boys charging machine guns. 1t
means 80 many fewer white crosses
over the mounds where American
boys are asleep forever. Waste OF
food means waste of blood.
II CNNi hNlt dl llO4llt viii httD
this always in mind there will be no
garbage pals full OF food that could
be saved and used. There will be
economy in every kitchen.
Waste Is murder now. nothing
less. II we would save our men, we
will save food for them. Mr.. Hoover
says we can save a million of them
by cutting our food consumption
half pound a week
This is holy crusade The Amer
lean women must lead It, The
American housewife moves up be-
eide the guns. From millions OF
homes she can send her protecting
barrage of thrift over our men at
the front.
Save food for our boys. Save our
men by saving food. Save a million
splendid fighting Americans for
America and the world.

NOW WHAT DO YOU
THINK OF THAT?

Said the kaiser to his henchman
1T have a perfect plan
To subjugate the nations all; now
believe can.
I'll take my mighty army and over
,whelm them-see?
I haven't made the least mistake;
they're bound TO yield to me"
And so he marshalled all his men
put on his royal hat.
And started on to whip the world
Now what do you think Of that
He slaughtered men and women,
too-and children, right and left,
Until the world In pity mourned, for
for those OF life hereft.
He counted light the cost OF war,
nor dreamed that vengeance dire
Would soon he meted out to him;
that soon OF war he'd tire.
He laughed our Uncle Sam to scorn,
and thought his royal hat
Covered a head divinely held
Now what do you think of that ?
But Uncle Sam was stronger than
the Beast of Berlin knew.
And when he called upon his men.
they proved themselves true blue.
They said, "We'll do the best we can
to make this old world tit
For those we love TO live upon;
we'll make the kaiser qhit."
And willingly they went across to
get the kalser's hat
And now, you see. he's on the ruin
Now what do you think of that
And now the kaiser and his men are
in a sorry plight,
They're bound at last to all admit
that Un%e sam was right.
oh. Uncle Sammie's soldier boys are
fine and true and brave.
They do not fear the kaiser's threat
they mean this world to save
From all the schemes that have been
hatched beneath the royal hat.
He'll need to beg for mercy soon
Now what do you think OF that Z?
They're dashing, crashing onward
now-to old Berlin they 20,
While we at home, to help them
win. are buying bonds. you know
Because we want our boys to get
the kaiser and his men.
And pretty soon the Berlin Beast
will doff his royal hat,
And cry, Enough, I have been
whipped
Now what do vou think of that g.?

St Louis Globe Democrat.
A writer in a local contemporary
suggests that much OF the force of
President Wilson's utterances is due
to the fac; that they are always
grammatical But is this premise
correct? We have seen discussions
OF the presidents grammar by
pedantic prccisians who find particu-
lar fault with his use OF would
and should" While we nave no
patience with these people. We hope
they are right IN the case OF Mr.
Wilson. We have a great admiration
for his English, and it would make
us ineNpressibly sad II we could be
convinced That his grammar is abso
lutely impeCCable. For we hold that
grammar Is satanic device for the
restraint VI free speech. an invention
of pestiferuus pcGagogucs for the
torture of innocent children, a syste-
matte effort OF men who cannot
write anything but textbooks to
shaCkle the men who can. We would
like to think that Mr.. Wilson is one
who Is no abject slave to the inv
numcrable rules laid down by these
usurping autocrais of the language.
