DR.. Masaryk
The Grand Rapids News says


DR.. Masaryk, the first president Of the new
Czecho-Sovak, or Bohemian republic, has sailed
from the United States to take his place at the
head of his government. Of all the new republics
in Europe, that of Bohemia appears to be most
quickly organizing on safe and sound lines.
During his residence in the United States and
the allied countries the past two or more years,
DR.. Masaryk has proved himself an exceptionally
able leader of men,. All his life has given to the
cause of his long oppressed people and to liberty
for all mankind His journeys through the self
governing nations have broadened him. He has
come into contact at first hand with many demo-
cratic peoples. Thus he has been able to absorb
the thought of many races to assimilate their
ideas, and by the same token he should be in
spired to choose straight course, avoiding the
difficulties that the older and more tried repub-

Common Sense and Shopping


From the Peoria Journal.
"HERE are all kinds of good arguments in favor of
early shopping
- First is the patriotic argument-by shopping early
we would permit The stores to carry their business
without adding people who needed in other
industries at this time
Early shopping permits of greater range of selec-
tion.s
It makes possible the selection Of gifts which will
be most appreciated by the recipient
It allows the donor to pick presents which repre-
sent himself herself
1t helps to do away with the last minute rush which
wears out clerks and salesladies
It helps to avoid last minute congestion of the mails
1t makes unnecessary the last minute overwork of
railway mail clerks mail carriers
It gifts from destruction in packed mail sacks
1t lifts great load from the minds of those who shop
And after everything is said early shopping good
oldfashioned common sense.

velopment.
Stephen D. Duggan, who interviewed DR..
Masaryk at his home in Washington several
weeks ago, and who gives an account Of his inter-
view in the American Review of Reviews for
November, says; Il came away from my visit
feeling that in DR.. Masaryk were combined some
of the noblest qualities of Washington and
Lincoln" With a leader of that calber we may
expect the new Bohemia to become in a short
time strong, well-governed and well-ordered
republic.

experts are hopelessly at odds in try

on the west front. Twice each day,
General L,udendorffs communicates

a glance at the. map shows that each
successive locality mentioned as the
scene of fighting lies few miles
farther eastward.
This" says The Hamburg Mach
richten's military expert, darkly, is
"a bad sign for the enemy, because it
shows that his attempts to pierce
the German front have failed and
that he seeks to substitute width for
depth.
lief urther argues that "The early
German thrust toward Amiens fore
stalled the enemy and now even If
the Germans are losing ground it is
no absolute gain for the enemy, but
merely the recovery OF early losses"
These sophistries are not wholly
shared by the Kreuz Zeitung's critic,
who frankly admits that is the Ger
man scheme has gone wrong mas
much as the enemy has successfully
evaded battle on both sides Of
Rheims and therefore the German
plan to tie up and split the enemy
reserves has failed.
He says incidentally that Ameri-
