lens Of the period. All that they
are asking, seemingly, is how far
Congress has gone in doing what il
has been told to do.
Certainly Congress can claim no
credit for the conception Of war leg
islstion, Almost without except, n
every important measure originated
outside Of Congress, in the exec, .
tive departments. The President
has done the leading. Congress has
not displayed statesmanship EXCEPT
by imitation.
Congress being what it is, there
is no hope Of public protection from
the forays Of the profteers except
through strong executive leadership,
Congress will do nothing unless it
is compelled to act, and the impulse
TO action must come from the Pres
ident. 1t is fortunate that he clear
ly visualizes the evil and is not
afraid to apply the remedies.

If Germany Moved Into Texas.

Despite the volumes and slls miles
of columns that have been printed
about everything pertaining to the
war, how many Americans realize
that the whole empire OF Germany
could be put away inside Of single
American State? Texas could con-
tain all of Germany and have room
enough left over to accommodate New
York and New Jersey.
One OF the Review of Reviews staff
of editors of 1000 Questions and
Answers About the War" dug that
fact out in trying to answer ques-
ton by common-sense citizen who
asked. Just how big is this darned
old Germany anyway? Don't tell
me in square miles, for the love OF
Mikei Square miles don't mean
anything in my young life."
Fifteen Germanies." says the
editor in the book, could be put
away inside of our own United
States" And there would be room
for few Americans to walk around
on the fringes, at that.

Letter Shows Gratitude of
French Mothers.

The following letter from the moth
er OF a little French orphan, adop-
ted" by Memphian through the
efforts of the Society of the Faith

gratitude which these mothers feel
toward those in this country who
have befriended their little father
less ones.
The translation OF the letter fol-
lows: Dear Sir-How much joy
your charming letter gave to our
little family, so tried since this ter
rlble war; it is sweet to think that
there is generous, ally who wishes
to replace for my little one this

serve in her heart the love of Amer

you are doing for my little Pier
rette2 Alas, it will be most diff
cult to make you understand above
all, with the seas separating us.
A letter is such small thing to ex-
press the sentiments which press in
the heart OF French woman regard
ing such a noble ally. Never can
explain to you the gratitude | feel
for all you do for my little Pierrette.
/ am following your advice and /
shall have her in school as long as
possible, and will send you fre-
quent news of her.
Like you, dear monsieur, we are
very happy in seeing your fellow
countrymen arrive, who will be and
are already with our dear French
soldiers. Thanks to their ardor and
valorous heroism, we shall van
quish the barbarians, who for four
years have desired only the exter-
mination of the world. Through
the Americans we have faith in our
approaching victory.

The Soldiers Chances.

Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate, the in
diudual soldier has plenty OF chan
ces Of coming out Of the war un-
scathed or at least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics
OF the allied armies, soldiers q
chances ore 40 follows:
Twcnty-nine chances Of coming
home to ono chance Of being killed.
Porty-nins chances Of recovering
irom wounds to one chance OF dyins
from them.
One chance in 500 OF losing limb.
Will live FIVE years longer because
Of physical training, is freer from
disease in the Army than in civil
life, and has better medical care al
the front that at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to from bullets;
in this war / man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those Of our fighting men who
do not escape scathcless, the Gov.

or insurance law gives protection tc
the wounded and their dependents
and to the families and dependent!
OF those who make the supreme
sacrifice for their country.

As sou go where the great war buges play
Here's to the boys in camp; and OH

But know they deserve dadem,
Az fair as the farest gold
For well do know what the hard life means,
OF thankless toll in the back ground scenes.
Here's to the boys in camp God bless

And when the great Gays OF usefulness
For their country sweal are DER

Six months ago President Wilson
warned Congress that the question
Of profteering must be dealt with
by effective legislation. I In bis ad-
dress Of Dee. 4, 1917, he said:
Recent experience has convinced
me that the Congress must 60 fur
ther in authorizing the Government
to set limits to prices, iThs'law OF
supply and demand, am sorry to
say, has been replaced by the Law
of unrestrained sel6shnss. While
we have eliminated prsfiteering in
several branches OF industry it still
runs impudently rampant in others.
The farmers. for example, complain
with great deal Of Justice that,
while the regulation Of food prices
restricts their incomes, no restraints
are placed upon the prices OF most
Of the things they must themselves
purchase; and similar inequities
obtain on all sides.
Congress did nothing to meet the
situation. The Senate, however,
acted in characteristic fashion. In
stead Of undertaking the Suppression
Of profiteering in the public interest,
it get oas Immediately to relieve the
special grievances OF the farmers by
fixing the price OF wheat at $3.50

might become pro6teers too. and

people. 49,
A month ago the President again
appealed to Congress to meet the
issue, and explained that the
profteering that cannot be got at
by the restraints Of Congress, can
be got at by taxation The report
of the Federal Trade Board has
again forced the question upon Con-
gressional attention, and the fact is
worth recording that the most wig.
orous criticism Of this report comes
from the Penroses and Smoots OF
the United States Senate. 1t is al
ready evident that Congress will
never deal effectively with the prof.
itesrs until the President takes per-
sonal charge of the fight and forces
it to successful conclusion.
Every other Government has been
compelled to deal drastically with

there is no war profits. No action

LYCEUM THEATER.

The presentation at the Lyceum to-
day, tomorrow and Saturday of Mile
a-Minute Kendall" featuring Jack
Pickford and his talented co-star
Louise Huff, is attracting widespread
interest. This picture is based upoa
Owen Davis stage success of the same
name which achieved SO notable q
triumph in New York several years
ago. It is filled with highly drama
tic situations, enjoyable comedy and
the story teaches a wholesome moral.
It has to do with the fortunes Of an
idle son of the rich who, after being
cast off by his father, is regenerated
through love, and who thereby attains
to complete happiness both as inven-
been provided with adequate support
throughout SO that an evenly balanced
erformance is assured. This story is
essentially dramatic, the situations be-
ing strong, but relieved by wholesome
comedy. Mr. Pickford's support in
this picture is his sister Lottie, who
is seen for the first time in a picture
with her il1ustrious brother.
The new vaudeville bill is one which
will prove to be entertaining. 1t
will include Willie Smith, the double
xvoice singer, who is also a comedian;
Saxton and Farrell, in a comedy Of
fering. The Troubles of An Actress, :"
