The Soldiers Hardest Work.

More than two million American
soldiers are in Europe. 1t will be
months before the first half of the
armies is home. 1t may be year,
two years, before the last Yankee
fighter comes within sight of the
Statue of Liberty.
The greatest work Of the soldier is
done. but the hardest is ahead. This
is the work of waiting The soldier
knows that peace has come to the
world, but he must stay until the
security, the permanence OF that
peace Is absolute. Compared with
the excitement Of battle, the anticipa-
ton of actual conflict. the task ahead
lacks glory. The fever Of war burns
out and impotence su ceeds; impa-
thence TO be home and about the Jobs
Of peace.
From now until the day Of his re-
turn the American soldier, with a
wide sea between him and his home,
will be in greater need of comforts
than he was when the guns famed
in front Of him. He will not be idle
along the Rhine, but his mind will
not be possessed by the absorbing
thoughts Of war.
The country looks to the Govern
ment to speed the soldier home when
ever the safety Of the world will per.
init. Meanwhile. for those comforts
and pleasures which will Tighten the
waiting, the soldier looks to his peo-
pie. This week is their opportunity
TO give. through the United War
Work Campaign, the money that will
help to make the soldier patient and
happy. -o5 reg ~ ff-d &

No Sick Mans Job.

1t Is lunthlnkable that the Republi-
can majority Of the next House Of
Representatives should choose for Its
Speaker JAMES II. MANN. In no
single circumstance is he at for the
place. II his record Of Americanism,
as tested by his conduct early In the
war, Is not the worst in Congress,
nevertheless 1t Is bad enough to dis
qualify him.
MANN is reactionary. Ill tempered
and out Of sympathy with the pub
lies purpose and will. He is a sick
man, sick not merely physically but
otherwise. Some Of his friends doubt
whether his health could stand the
strain Of this important and powerful
post, but nobody shall doubt that the
health az his party could not stand
the strain; and as this is no job for
n sick man, much less is ii job
which. because Of the one filing 1t,
should Itself be made sick.
If the Republican majority In the
House cannot find the ideal member
for Speaker young but capable,
alert yet cool. strong while engaging,
at least 1t cannot fail to find better
Speaker than MANN.

Why should the Allies not be harsh
with them? How else have they acted
with every nation they have, had diff

they met the French commission with
the hard terms already formulated,
which they intended to be crushing to
Franco. Won Moltke and Bismarck sat

THE SOLDIERS APPEAL.
watchful Waiting Is the Hardest
Thing He Has TO Do.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suE--Sir: The
hardest thing a soldier has to face Is
suspense "watchful waiting" The
civilian cannot begin to estimate the
viclousness with which the bug Of un-
certainty eats into tho hearts and minds
Of the enlisted man.
Americans are naturally active and
the American soldier Is invariably rest
less Keep the Yanks busy and on the
''move" and you will keep them con-
tented.
That is why say that the coming
months are going to be the hardest for
the great army overseas to endure.
After peace Is declared the army both
In France and on this side OF the At
lantic will be comparatively inactive.
There will be plenty Of work to be done
true, but II will be OF the type known
TO tho soldier as dirty work" The
former excitement, romance ard feeling
OF heroism will be supplanted by the
thought that tho dirty work" Is delay
Ing their home coming. Day after day
the men will ask, why are we not
sent home r and How much longer are
we to be kept at this work.
At the end of a month or two the
suspense will be almost unbearable.
News from home will tell of the recep-
tons given the first troops back from
the front. Newspapers will tell vivid
stories OF the first organizations to be
demobilized Rumors--tho curse OF the
army-will run rampant; THE army
will be out of France In a year." "rhe
army will take three to four years to
demobllize." These rumors are already
being discussed by the men in service.
Those who accompanied the National
Guard to the Mexican border in 1915
and spent many wearisome months
building roads, digging bitches, laying
sewers, cleaning up the mesquite ard
cactus. and waiting day after day and
week after week for their orders to
return home. will have some idea OF

NOVEMBER METEORS.
Great Bombardment OF the Earth in
Prospect.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: AS
the universe contracts the exact point
OF the earth's perihelion vtbrates to-
ward and from the sun. Some years 1t
Is nearer the sun and other years 1t Is
further from the sun, as a result OF the
law of universal contracting. But as
an ultimate result of many OF these
trips around the sun the earth's orbit
becomes ultimately smaller and Its peri
hel!on ultimately nearer the suns CEN
tire as the universe continues to cor
tract. This Is the law of every orbit In
existence as II contracts around its
primary.
In the year 1893 the swarm Of Noveru-
Der meteors was nearer the sun and
nearer the enrth's orbit than at any
other time. SO that more Of the rneteors
fell to the earth, as their perihelion Is
near the earth's orbit--about 80 degrees
longitude.
Since that time the perihelion OF the
swarm has vibrated outward from the
earth's path; but It will again come
back and moro meteors than ever be-
fore will fall to the earth. as will be
the case Just before the millennium,
when stars fail from heaven This
will occur before the first resurrection.
Daniel, xii. 1. 2. 8. 10; and Matthew,
XIV. Z, ~, IS. Is. q. %, 20. 80 and ~.
Then the orbit OF the November me-
teors will again vibrate away from tho
sun and earth, but only to come back
again in the future. The gravitating
rate of the material OF the November
meteors being greater than the crawl
tatlng rate OF the earth's matter their
orbit contracts more rapidly than the
earth's orbit as the universe continues
to contract (like a moons orbit con-
tracing past a moons orbit. producing
a ring Of Saturn) SO that long after
the millennium the orbit OF the Novem-
Der meteors will contract past the
earth's orbit and the meteors viii col
lide with the earth at the crossing
causing every vestige OF the. works Of
mankind to be destroyed by the Novem-
Der meteors. II. Peter. chapter Ill.,. 10.

Won Bernstor6's Hope Indefinitely
POSTPONED.

When last heard Of, Count JOHANN
HEINRICH Won BERN sToRfF was in or
near Constantinople, somewhat per-
picked as to his travelling arrange
ments. He did not see his way
clearly to an escape with skin whole
from the land of the disillusioned and
angry Turk.
Count Won BERNsTonrr's departures
have not always been attended by the
felicitous circumstances which a SEN
sitive nature and a clear conscience
might desire. When dismissed with
his passport from the United States
on the Frederik VIII. he was asked
by q reporter of the Associated Press
If he expected to revisit US.
Certainly" replied the bland vow
BEgNsToRFF, 81 shall never be Am
bassador here again. That has never
been done in the history of diplomacy.
But l may come back to attend a
peace conference. do not know
whether I fiatter myself, but do
believe that / am not disliked by the
people here"
1t is now quite as certain that the
Count will not come back to the
United States to attend a peace con-
ference as that he will never return
In the capacity of Ambassador. More
over, If he should ever revisit Amer.
lea MS a private person It is ex-
tremely probable that he would be
compelled to revise his former esti.
mate of the regard entertained for
him by the people of republic whose
hospitality he enjoyed for ten years
and abused In ten thousand ways too
notorious to require mention.
We express no opinion as to
whether the former Ambassador Of
the Imperial German Government to
the United States wLald have any bet
ter fortune In the matter of the
friendly warmth Of his reception In
case he should revisit Cairo or Bel
grade, or Petrograd, or even London.
