II is the old story over again. tyranny
successful for a time. ruler dreaming
of world conquest and then u defeated
king, a deposed ruler and frightened
fugitive seeking personal safety. II mas
been written again and again In the
history of the world. The Neros and
the wilhelms flee at the end. Now
and then one of them has the courage
to die fighting but the story of con-
auerors generally ends with fight and
an effort to live on however humbled
and disgraced.
And so the Hohenzonern gang fed
from the country they had commanded
to its own destruction. fed to hide
themselves in a neutral nation hoping
that their lives might be spared-as
though life were worth while when the
empire was dissolving.
war lord fleeing for his life is
pitiful picture. War lords II they are
to emulate the great warriors should
die in harness A frightened and
skuIking kings whose nod yesterday
sent millions OF brave men to their
death with cheers on their lips is a
shameful spectacle.
False, perjured. hectins Hohenzoi-
lern, who stabbed the world in the
back. cut the throat of the empire. who
stole from the weak and slaughtered
the innocent trembling at every foot
step lest it be of those come to execute
the penalty of his crimes. A KING
without a crown, an individual without
honor and lacking courage.
Will any people in the world ever
again permit themselves to be so fooled
and mislead and exploited?

The difference between the fake and

right of individual choice. Of course.

YESTERDAY. TODAY AND TOMORROW.

Yesterday and today one great fact
is enough to fill the world-peaee.
Yesterday cheering crowds circied ITO
world Today we are beginning to fnce
the tasks and the duties ahead OF us.
Tomorrow We must get TO work in our
sh!rtsleeves.
The harder labor at home is to some.
In the dire emergency that passed yes
terday it was easy to work, easy TO
lead and easy to follow. When the
building is blazing and excitement
holds all are anxious to carry water.
When the fire is out and the ruins are
to clear away the inclination is to let
others dc it.
The whole world has been on fire
and we have all been carrying water.
But the flames die out ana the black
ened emhers, the mud and waste OF
war, call for further labor. 1t is the
new test of our patriotism and use

terrain sowed with the crops of peace.
The strain Of battle is done. The
strain and restraint Of peace are be-
fore US. We can not stop short. We
have been moving too fast to stop at
once without disaster. Don't try TO
do ii.
We may look forward to other bond
issues. No doubt we shall have at least
one or more Red Cross and war serV-
ice drives. The Red Cross will have
an immense work TO do over there.
We shall have large bodies of II oops
across seas for some time. The war
with the central powers is over but
the war with suffering and famine re-
mains. And we must night on against
these adversaries.
II within the past four years IN
America there has been time that calls
for the best in the American people.
for polse and thoughtful earnestness
of purpose we are come upon that
time. The need for unselhsh patriot
ism is acute. The necessity OF pa
triotic service is absolute.
We celebrated in a brainstorm OF JOY
yesterday. Let US begin to think
calmly today Of the work that lies
ahead of this nation, work that only
we can do. that is a duty and a de-
tense.

OF the stanch little tyke that's the foe
Of despair;
For there's none that's so old in the

Of his eyes,
And his tongue is balm to the heart

G. Washinaton,s Letter..

Uncounted thousands, passing each
day the Franklin statue in front OF the
Federal building on Chestnut street,
have never noticed that the words OF
the inscription are from the pen OF
Washington.
But Doctor James II. Penniman OF
the University of Pennsylvania, In mis-
remarkable study of George Wash
ington as a Man Of Letters" yesterday
received, has not failed to note the
fact.
Washington was in command Of the
army 3,l0S days, and wrote in this
business.
He left some $4,000 letters-and yet
he had no typewriter and no steno-
grapher.
The collection of his manuscripts IN
the library of congress is said to be
the greatest one man exhibition OF
the sort anywhere.
Few persons have used as much ink
as George Washington" says Doctor
Penniman.

Matthew Carey. Washington wrote,
under date OF June %. l1ss:
Il entertain a high idea of the utility
of periodical publications: insonuch
that ! could heartily desire copies OF
the Museum and Magazines. as well
as common gazettes, might be spread
thru every city, town and village in
America.
Il consider such easy vehicles OF
knowledge more happily calculated
than any other TO preserve the liberty.

the morals of an enlightened and free
people"
Mrs. Washington destroyed after
his death all the letters that her hus-
band wrote her with the exception OF
one written when they were engaged
and the enc announcing his appoint
ment as commander in chief"

Clemenceau Told his people the other
day that it is harder to win peace than
to win war. Which is good advice on
both sides Of the ocean.
