il" declared a noted American preacher in the
thick of the cussword barrage about Chateau
Thierry last summer Reinforced by that ex-
pert clerical opinion, all thehdoughboys within
hearing proceeded to trace more accurately and
vociferously than ever before the alleged ances-
try of the ex-kaiser,
They kept it up. to be exact, right through
the forenoon of the llth of November in this
year of grace. And the chaplains who over
heard them simply smiled benignantly- when
they did not Join in themselves.
But the war may now safely be declared won.
1t will be the job of the historians of the future
to decide what part the concentrated cussing Of
the p allied nations played in the winning of it.
1t is.our job now to take little thought of pre-
pairing ourselves for our more or less distant
return to English-speaking civilization.
Whatever else may be said of it, no one can
ever call The Stars and Stripes a prude or a
stickler for old maid dction on the part of fight
ing men. But the Stars and Stripes shudders
to think of dad being affectionately addressed
as you old - -,--w by his
beloved son home from the war Or of the dire
consequences if little brother should attempt to
repeat lspingly his hero's animadversions on
the subject of army sum.
What do you say that we all-including the
staff of the Stars and Stripes-try to ease up a
bit? How about cutting down our profanity
output at the rate of one damn day?-Stars

U-BoQt Fiction Punctured

During the active period OF the war the e-
gend of the German superman was fostered in
various ways; in no way more strikingly than
by wonder tales of U-boats gigantic in size,
miraculous in equipment and boundless in po-
tentiality. All seas were to be swept and all
coasts ravaged through these diabolic craft. No
voyage was to be too long for these terrors of
the undersea, no storm too fierce, no opposing
force sufficiently alert and powerful
There were believers in these legends Of an
ndomitable frightfulness on the main. We are
forced to confess that also there were those who
took the tales with grains of sea salt. To both
kinds of listeners comes the verdict of British
naval men who received and examined the u
boats as they were surrendered. The expert
word of John Bulls best sailors is that there
we're no marvtls in all the German submarine
fleet, save as any boats built successfully to pro-
coed beneath the waves partake of marvellous
quality.
So the boast and blare of frightfulness by
sea perish even as the blare and boast of fright
fulness by land. There were Teutonic prodigies
of invention displayed in the war. These had
their equals, in cases their superiors, among the
fighting instruments of the allies. The only
monstrosities in the great contest were human.
Fortunately for civilization. they were with the
vanquished forces.-New York World.

Who Is the Public?

Omaha, Dec. 22.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: Will some kind indi-
vidual tell me who the public is?
This public whom the newspapers
claim to be the goat during the re-
cent car strike? They holler and
chant about the poor public, and the
public must suffer, etc. They car
toon the public as walking doggedly
along like martyr, while employe
and employer wrangle.
During the strike / walked, and
those of the public" whom I en-
were heart and soul in sympathy
with the union men. They were
working men, laboring men, and
their cause was the union mans
cause. The rest of the said public
rode in automobiles, which means of
conveyance is not very goatlike. in
my opinion.
If some of these champions of the
public would canvass the factories,
workshops, mills, packing houses
and department stores they would
get new idea of the public's opin-
ion on such matters.
If the public We're the goat in the
recent quarrel, then the citizens of
America who paid the tax on this
war We're the goats Of democracy.
But such is not the case, for like
during the strike, so also during the
war, a principle was at stake, and
the participants directly engaged
were merely fighting for the rights
of those at home. j. J. CLARKE.
