Special Cable to The Washington
Herald and New York Tribune.
BY ARTHUR S. DRAPER.


London, Feb. 21.-Britain's political
storm is over and now the country
can concentrate its attention on
greater storm which is likeiy to break
in France almost any day. Whether
all factions and parties are united in
the support of personalities only time
will tell, but that the whole country
is ready to put an unbroken front to
the enemy there is not a suspicion Of
doubt.
Labor disputes, food privations.
financial hardships and political pres
tige sink into insignificance beside the
great problem of checking the enemy
and eventually throwing him back.
II Germany shows no desire for peace
except by force. and IL her militarists
continue to hold the confidence and
trust of the people, then England will
fight on with the determination which
marked her entry into the war.
End In 1919.
Various opinions exist as to the
date when a reasonable or clean
peace can be obtained. L. J. Maxse,
editor of The Globe" says: There
is not a hundred-to-one chance of
the wars being over this year." al
though he is sure it will end in
1919.
He makes the following interest
ing observations on the present
situations: I'VE will disguise our
sympathy for those who. looking
upon all the waste slaughter Of this
unparalleled war and Europe bleed
ing almost to death. allow their
wish to become father to the
thought and anticipate the end of
the struggle in the present year.
We heartily wish we could share
their hopes, but since we cannot,
and since we think indulgence in
them will not. only lead to bitter
disappointment but will also be ex-
tremely dangerous, we ask them to
consider the situation as it really
is.
Since the time of Kerensky. it
has altered very much for the worst.
The Russian army is out of the
war altogether, and no military op-
erations which the Germans may
see fit to take in Russia will put
any serious strain upon their re-
sources. They may-we hope they
will-find themselves in difficulties
in Greater Russia, but in no cir
cumStanceS is the flow Of their
troops from East to West likely to
be materially checked by the events
in that quarter.
Praises America.
The Italians have suffered great
disaster. They have borne up with
gallantry and resolution beyond all
praise. but it is absurd to suppose
that, after a defeat which involved
the loss of a quarter of a million
men and over 1000 guns, they can
do more than stand on the defen-
sive.
Americans are making magnificent
efforts in every direction, but they
cannot improvise an army fit for
modern warfare and convoy it across
5000 miles of sea in a few weeks
The numbers they have already sent
under the circumstances is astonish-
ing, but it is extremely unlikely that
they will be able to place Sufficient
men in the firing line to restore the
numerical superiority of the allies
before autumn at the earliest"

Support Your Government.

This government, the offspring of our own
choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon
full investigation and mature deliberaton, COM
pletely free in its principles in the distribution
of its powers, uniting security with energy and
containing within itself provision for its own
amendment, has just claim to your confidence
and your support. Respect for its authority,
compliance with its laws. acquicscence in its
measures, are duties enjoined by the funda-
mental maxims of true liberty.
The very idea of the power and right of the
people to establish government presupposes the
duty of every individual to obey the established
government.

A knight Errant of Liberty

From Henry Waterson's paper, The
Courier-Journal, is tribute to Quin-
tin Roosevelt, and to former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which so portrays
true Americanism that we here re-
produce it:
To Theodore Roosevelt, that finely
American American. the citizen SOL
dier and soldierly citizen who wanted
to go to France in the American uni
form and under the Stars and Stripes
when his country entered the war. the
sympathy of every American goes out
impulsively and sincerely upon receipt
of the news that his youngest son,
Quentin. has been Killed in France.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
Scottish archer Quentin Durward of
SIR Walter Scott's romance sought his
fortune in France, in the reign OF
Louis XI. and that the young Roose-
welt who bore the name lost his life
in France in an Ige far more heroic
than that in which the most sinister
Louis in the list occupied the French
throne, in q cause far nObler than
Quentin Durward ever fought. in

more inspiring to mettlesome youth
and chiva.ric courage than archery

Our Twentieth Century American
Quentin Durward's mission in France
was more romantic than that of
Scott's adventurous Scot. He did not
seek his fortune, but went unselfshly

Liberty bound frcm the greatest re-
public in the world to defend the
greatest republic in Europe against
fhe greatest outrage in the history of
tine world. His was a gallant under

cd gallantly. He fell. but he fell with
in the enemy's lines. The body Of an
intrepid American youth lies upon in
vaded soil held temporarily by a Ger
man horde. His soul "goes marching
on" By such acts of heroism as his.
and by such young Americans as he,

sanctifies will be reclaimed. Their

edly fine. Its result is certain and
will be glorious.
A young soldiers greatest misfor-
tune is to fall without having flesh
ed his sword. Quentin Roosevelt was
spared that bitterness. IL in the in
slant of the approach of death con-
sciousness supervened he had the
sclace of dying in action, and of h.v-
ing lived to infiict telling blows upon
the enemy. That this is true will be
consoling to the father who would
have gone to France under the flag
had hs been permitted to do SO, and
to the brothers who are under arms.
Europe will bear in mind that after
four years of war the six stalwart
sons of the Kaiser lie snug, and that
at the end of year Of war one son
of former President of the United
States has been sacrificed upon free
dom's ensanguined but shining altar.
and that the other Roosevelt boys
will take chances with other young
men where the fight is hottest and
the bullets thickest, and that mona
of them will, because he is his faith
er's son, be shielded from the "rcn-
devious with death" Former Presi-
dent Taft's son also is participating
in the fight at a level, as regards
risk Of life, with the commonest SOL
dier from the humblest American
home. That is the spirit OF Americas
fight. It is the spirit of the liberty
and equality between men that has
made America. 1t is the spirit that
wins.

hidden in his steel dugout back of
the lines. Frederick Wilhelm is un-
fortunately not easy to kill. Among
all his five brothers there is not one
who would go up in battle plane or
charge at the head of the poor, duped
peasant soldiers across No Mans
Land. So 1t may not be possible to
take the life of a Prussian Prince
Imperial for that of the gallant little
lad in whose veins flowed the blood
of the Bullochs and the Roosevelts
All six of their lives would little COM
pensate America for the loss of Quen-
tin. The death of the Kaiser himself
would not assuage the grief of the
noble American family on Sycamore
Hill. But perhaps, all along the
front. American airmen are saying:

Quentin and pay like hell"

When Things Are Blue

There are times " men things look
blue. and to the farmers of this part
of the state that time was last spring
when there was no rain, the reservoir
supply of water was short and no
flood waters were available or even
to be expected. That time has gone
by, however, and things have chang
ed from the blue to the green. for the
green is the condition of color of
crops thruout this section of the coun-
try both under irrigation and on the
unirrigated lands. Flood waters came
down and the rains descended. and
the crops suddenly took leap. Now
the prospects for excellent crops were
never any better, IL as good, as they
are at this season of the year.
