THE END OF THE WAR

After more than four years of hos
tiIities the greatest of all wars is
ended.
For the last four years the whole
of Europe and much of Asia have
been filled with blOOdshed and in
trigue. Kings, emperOrs and czars
have fallen. A sultan, and an EN-
peror have died, perhaps from the
strain of perpetual thinking upon the
cruelties perpetrated by their SOL
diers and the soldiers of their allies.
Then, too, a car was depOsed and
murdered.
With the war ended a pitiable state
of affairs exists. Russia, starting out
on the side of the Entente Allies.
is in such a state of chaos that it
will take unbounded effort to restore
her to the semblance of nation. Bel
GUM and parts Of France have been
so devastated and overrun that bill
lions of dollars must be spent in re
building the cities, orchards, farms
and all necessities of life. The millions
of dollars worth of treasures that have
been destroyed cannot be replaced.
The priceless cathedrals now in ruins
are lost forever to man.
With democracy victor over auto
crazy, right over might and humanity
over brutality, the greatest period of
reconstruction is to come. Russia
must be settled down into a state.
Austria and Hungary must reform.
Turkey is to be made over. Germany
must change absolutely every present
mode of action and become a new
people in every way. Not in a hun
dred years will she become more than
a lesser state.
The end of the war leaves a better
world, morally. spiritually and phys
ically Men and women will lead
cleaner lives; there should be an all
embracing religion, with sect forgot
ten, and the worn out bodies of men,
women and children must be rebuilt |
with all the arts learned in the last
four years.

FOR A MANS SUIT, $500
Clothing Is Rather Expensive In AUS

clothing in Austria-Hungary now costs
/ from 5000 to $500 a suit. while won
ems tailor made gowns average from
$500 to $500 each, according to the
''Krejcovsky Listy," the official organ
/ of the Tcheque Czech tailors in the
dual monarchy.
Copies of the last number of this
periodical have just reached Rome by
way of Switzerland and give interest
ing details as to the present cost OF
clothing at Vienna and Budapest. Ac-
cording to this trade journal all OF
the cloth manufactured in the dual
monarchy since the beginning of the
was is absolutely worthless and the
/ Tcheque tailOrs practically refuse to
make il up into suits and wOmen's
gowns for the reason that the result
is not worth the cost of the labor eX-
pended on it.
The only cloth that remains in Aus
Hungary that is fit for clothing
consists of the few remnants of stocks
that existed there before the war.
This is largely cloth of foreign manu-
facture and what is left of it COM
mands fabulous prices.
For a mans suit, cloth averages $50
yard; lining, So yard; flannel,
So a yard, and lining for the pockets,
SO a yard.
To overcome this situation the gov
eminent is planning to manufacture a
single style of cloth and to issue tick
cts TO the civil population permitting
them TO have suits from it. In this
connection the same requirement that
already is in force in Germany will be
adopted. namely. every person order
ing a new suit from this government
cloth must first turn over TO the gov
eminent clothing department his old

Food Hint for Today

The impression that persimmOns

does this valuable fruit an injustice.
1t is good for the family, too. and
some of the empty jars on the pantry
shelf might well be filed with per-
simmons. says Miss Essie Heyle. head
of the home economics branch of the
Agricultural Extension Service. Per-
simmons contain 81 per cent SUI
gar, which is three times as much as
is contained in apples and five times
as much as is found in peaches. The
use of persimmons should therefore
help to conserve sugar, Miss Heyle
says.
Persimmon butter can be made en-
tirely without sugar. Mix the per-
simmons with Just enough water to
make them go through the colander
easily. The pulp is then ready to
use as a butter, without the addition

NOT SAYING MUCH NOW.

Possibly you have noticed of late
that the naiser has not been saying
much about God being on his side
winch IS trifle remarkable consid-
erlng the fact that when the war
started the German high chief claim
ed to hold absolute sway over the
creator. About the best thing that
Kaiser's Colt was found in, the last
article written by Washington Glad
den and which was finished only a
day or two before his death. 1t is as
follows:
when the Kaiser talks verv
plously about the help that his god
is, giving him. we have to remember
what kind OF things his god has
been helping him to do. For it is
we know them by their fruits. A cod
who approves the sharp practice nv
which Austria was forced into this
war, who sanctions the invasion of
belgium, and who smiles on the
of the "Lustania" is not a
god in whom respectable people can
whom the Kaiser patronizes and and
brags about. whom the junkers wor-
ship and whom the German profess
sors have been trying to get the Ger
man people to believe in, is a god
that no rational man can believe in.
The human mind is stuItified when
this kind of credullty is required of
it.
Perhaps the best thing ever said
about divine aid in war was the re-
ply of Lincoln to the statement of
an enthusiast that God was on our
side, LINCOLN said: ri am not
troubled about that. What troubles
me is to find out if I am on Gods
side"

THE CASUALTY LIST.

Great Britain had 5000 men kill
ed in July, or about 1000 weekly.
Our own losses in fatalities for that
period were comparatively light
doubtless not more than 800 week.
However, casualties in the American
ranks are increasing as our forces
grow in numbers and take more
and more active part in the opera
tons in France.
The British losses were much
smaller-less than half-for July
than for the preceding month It is
probable that the reports available
did not include much OF, the fierce
fighting Of the last week of the
month. Our own casualty lists are
as yet appearing almost two weeks
behind time, and Great Britain is
probably not in much closer touch
with happenings at the front. 1t is
safe to say, nevertheless, that, the
suffered less last month than for
long time previously.
French losses may be higher, how
ever France has been bearing the
brunt of a great portion of the re-
cent fighting. France holds a long
er stretch of battle line than is
guarded by all her associate. combin--
ed. So her own casualties in recent
weeks no doubt have been very great.
When the full figures are known.
it will be easier to tell where the
hardest fighting, the most heroic
sacrifices, the finest defensive work
took place than is now POSSIBLE from
the equally stirring reports OF war
correspondents widely separated, and
each believing his own field to be en-.
during the hardest experiences OF
the conflict. In proportion to the
number of men engaged. our Ameri-
can force already has made it's
losses prove the tremendous service
rendered. We are, of course. anxl-
ously expecting to learn of far
heavier sacrifices. If our fears shall
be realized, we can at the same time
be sure that where our soldiers fell
was some of the bitterest battling
the worlds war history ever has
known

A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

The problem of supplies for an
American army in France must be-
come increasingly difficult to solve
as the army becomes larger month
by month. No less than 100000
men have now been shipped across ere s.
of staff. German military critics en-
courage their newspaper readers
with talk to the effect that America
cannot maintain a large army abroad
because it cannot be fed, clothed and
munitioned. Lack OF shipping must
prove fatal to the overseas enter
prise of the United States, it is said
concerning the supply problem at
the beginning of last week?
There were in France army food
stuffs enough to feed 100000 men
for three months. Here are some of
the details: Flour for 1912 days;
$50 days; vegetables for 35s days;
coffee for II days; butter for 81
days; prunes for AZ days; jam for
SO days; hay for horses and mules
for 60 days and grain for 10 days;
coats for so days; breaches for 70
days; shirts for 80 days; puttees
for 80 days; stockings for 10 days;
army's supply departments have OBJ
tanned a flying start AS matter
of fact. the supplies landed in France
hitherto have increased at faster
ratio than the number of soldiers,
and there is every prospect that the
supplies on hand will keep ahead Of
the demand for them to the end of
the war.
This is an achievement of which
one hears almost nothing. The pub
lie thinks of the number of soldiers
in France and by those figures meas
ures the governments performance.
Yet the task of supplying the sol
diers is colossal: the real test of the
significance of it's successful accom-
plishment is what the Germans.
think of it. And what they think is
known from the positive assurances
of the German staff that it could
never be done.-Springfield (Mass.)

THE kAlsER's PROCLAMATION.

One. is forced to question the men
tai poise of man who makes such
preposterous and contradictory state
| ments as are contained in the proc
| lamation issued by Kaiser Wilhelm
| the outlines of which are contained
yesterdays paper. Vital forces
| which are streaming across the sea
to- the enemy are being attacked by
German submarines with certain
success he is quoted as saying. The
fact is that more than 100000
Americans have been ferried across
| with loss OF less than 800 not to
munitions and subsistence materials.
Speaking of German victories he
declares that as their fruits the
fourth year Of the war was brou ght
us peace in the east. In the west
the enemy was heavily hit by the
force OF your assault. The battles
won in recent months count among
man history Such a statement in
the face Of what has happened and
Aisne neighborhood is positively
silly. AS for peace in the east how
about the revolts in Russia, punctu-
ated by the assassination of Won
Mirbach in Moscow and of Won Eich-
Turkey and the bitter hatred Of Ger
many that exists throughout Russia?
The kaiser believes, no doubt,
that the German people, whom he
is seeking to bambooZle and sustain,
will believe his outgiving. Have
not the people been trained to be-
lieve him? Does the German sub
ject not belong, body and mind, to
the state, and is not Wilhelm the
divinely appointed head ana spokes-
man? And how can any forecast
that he may make dare to shrk at
fulfillment? So, when he tells the
people that all is well and that ''the
desperate efforts of the enemy will, i
as heretofore, be foiled by your
bravery" he settles the question

sian formula.
But one wonders whether. in
truth, the German people are as
crazy as their kaiser. 1t hardly |
seems possible that there is not left |
in the German brain the common |
human power of ultimately compre-
bending the truth. And it must be !
that some day, there will be an
awakening and reckoning. 1t may
not come until the military power is
down and the people are no longer |
afraid of this crushing force. But
when it comes, it's manifestations |
will be terrible. No amount Of lyl
ing that Wilhelm or any other Ho-i
henZollern can do will befOg the
truth or stay the wrath.-St Joe

A BULL'SEYE SHOT.

, In a recent letter to an admire1
President Wilson has hit the goal in
his clear definition Of the quality OF
supreme executive authori+-- in the
United States. His words should be
widely published and read by all
citizens An artist etched an i'm
aginatlve portrait Of the president in
military uniform. and sent him a
proof. President Wilson's letter in
reply Eliminates the whole spirit of
the American system of government
as follows:
The trainers of the constitution, of
course, realized that the president
should seldom be soldier, and
their idea in making him the COM
manager-in-chief of hte army and
navy Of the United States was that
the armed forces of the country must
be the instruments of the authority
by Which policy was determined. 1t
is for that reason that we can so
truly say that our organization is in
no sense and can in no sense be mill
taristic.
Nothing could be more timely or
desirable than this occasion, which
the president has so acutely improv-
stance Of American governmental
principles in a clear, strong light for
all the world to see. The supre-
macy of the civil authority over the
in our country is to be
taken for granted: but at a time
when enemies are quick to mislead
the ignorant by subtle fa1sehoods,
tile president has done the whole
country signal service by making
this unmistakable statement of the
facts.
