LET EUROPE DO TT.

The American people seem we'll pleased, or
/ the whole with the system of mandatory gov
ernment of conquered colonies under the control
of the League of Nations, as worked out by the
Paris conference. But, thanking the conference
lust the same the American people do not care
Tor any of the manda--- -0r their own personal
use.
The United States does not want the lob of
governing any Of the German colonies in At
RIGA or the Pacific ocean or any where else. Still
less does it want the job Of governing any part
of the Turkish empire.
We have enough to 40 along the line with
our own Colonies few as they are and simple as
is the work of administration. We get along
fairly we'll with IT, too. But we are not col
onizing people. We are not "demented with the
mania of owning things" We do not banker aft
ev odds and ends of continents and islands as
some of Our Allied friends do. Let those who
like EN- take the lands in question, and rule them
with our approval and blessing-as long as they
rule them Justly, in way to benefit the ma
tiv5s lc less than the rulers.
Most particularly we do not care to get tan
cled I'D with any of the racial and political mess
Of western Asa. We wish the Armenians we'll
also the SyTians ard Paestinians and the rest
but We do mt want the responsibility Of nur
turing them up TO self-gOvernment. There are
100 many complications, and we are too proyin
claI and slmpo-nnded a people and toe far from
snat LesteraG center Of things. Europe is near
er and more interested and knows the game bet
ter. Let Europe do It.

Yet there IS gleam Of nope IN every case.
Fred Franks Of South Boardman, Mich, whose
name had appeared three times in the official
lists as killed and who mad twice been report
ed captured, is expected to reach his home some
time soon. He wired his family from New
York Of his safe arrival there. It IS more than
likely that many men whose names have ap-

The men who prove TO be missing aIter every
effort has been made TO locate them Will have a
high place in our regard among the other heroes

The families Of these men are entitled to the
greatest sympathy for the deadful burden OF

went down to their deaths without fear and in
deed SO great was their courage that when the
summons came not even trace OF them was

GOVT SERVICE
LOST FIFTEEN
SHIPS IN WAR
(By Associated Press

New York, Feb. 18.-Fifteen car
go ships with a dead weight tonnage
Of 103, ,692 were lost during 1918 10y
the Naval Overseas Transportation
Service, according to a report made
public today by the District Super
visor of the Third Naval District.
The removal of the ban of secrecy,
vital during the war as a shield to
these vessels ana their crews, dis
closes that six ships, aggregating
22,6z7 tons, were destroyed by enc
my activity, five vessels with COM
bined tonnage of 44.071 tons, were
sunk in collisions, ard four vessels,
totaling 1894 tons, were destroyed
by fire and explosion.
The report traces the growth Of
the Naval Overseas Transportation
Service since the time of its organi-
Zation late in 1917 and describes the
part played by it in transporting
food, munitions and supplies for
troops and naval vessels abroad, Sew
enty-two ships were originally as
signed to this service and when the
almistice was signed, November Il,
1918, the cargo fleet numbered 453
vessels, including 106 ships ready to
be taken over.
Crews of navy cargo ships are said
to have endured tEo greatest hard

stantly endangered, theH 32ced the

It IS on record that convoy of
fifty ships from New York was dis
integIated by a violent storm in mid
Atlantic and that only two of the en-
TIRE number. reached France under
convey. Every ship for herself,
tie forty-eight others, by luck. pluck
and constant vigil all finally dropped
their anchors in the protected har-
bors of their destination.
'Not only were these crews con
frCnted with the normal perils OF
the sea-" SAYS the report, "but they
faced destruction from torpedo. col
lision and other unforeseen accidents
that might cause fire in inflammabl(
cargoes. 1t takes brave men to

The value Of a cargo ship is real
ized when it is known that under ex-
istinG war conditions each ship cost
to operate 500 every hour. Good
lad and indifferent ships, old or new
fast or slow, were transformed by
the magic Of naval energy into serv.
