riors have made unfavorable comparisons with
the business abilities of the American girl as
compared with English and French young women,
holding that the training of the last-named fits
them to be better life partners.
"As might be expected, a large proportion of
the so-called Stacker marriages, contracted under
the erroneous notion that it would enable the
lodging man to escape the draft have gone to

strates on the other side of the ledger that where

The New Leaven

The demobilization of something near two
million men is bound to have far-reaching results
throughout the United States. Every city, every
hamlet, every community, is bound to be more or
less affected by the return to civil life and civil
known the value of military discipline and mill
tary education.
In no one thing will this new leaven be felt
more strongly than as an aid to the campaign
for the suppression of prostitution and the eradi-
cation of venereal diseases being conducted by the
Indiana State Board of Health and the United
States Public Health Service. As soon as these
men donned the uniform of the United States
they began to receive an education in matters of
social hygiene. They were taught the inexorable
law that an unclean man-unclean physically or
morally-cannot be fit nor an efficient man.
The facts as to right thinking, right living, the
almost unbelievable prevalence of disease infec-
tion among immoral women, the value Of CONT
nence, the baeful effects, even upon children yet
unborn of the venereal diseases-all these facts
have been made known to every man who is soon
to return to his home.
In one sense each one of these returning sol
diers will be missionary to his home commun-
ity By his example not less than by his precept
the work that is being done by the State Boards
of Health, backed up by the United States Public
Health Service, to free the country from the
curse of venereal disease.
Each community has the right to be proud of
the fine achievement of its soldiers and the in
fluence they will exert, perhaps unconsciously,
when they come home, is certain to be great. The
new leaven of their influence is force that must
be reckoned with, and so far as the returning
soldiers pass the lessons in social hygiene
which they themselves have learned, that leaven
must be wholly good.
And it behooves every citizen to stand shoul-
der to shoulder with the returned soldiers in the
fight for clean nation so earnestly advocated by
President Wilson.
The opportunity to serve in this community
is offered in the proposed establishment of free
clinic for the treatment of venereal diseases, with
enforcement of proper ordinance that they be
reported and quarantined by health officers.

Express Company's Deficit

Here's another chapter in the sad story of
government ownership. A deficit of $2,176,O83
after the payment of operating charges and taxes
as compared with surplus of $1,624,852 in the
preceding year, is shown by the report Of the
Wells, Fargo & Co., for 1918 Federal control is
blamed for the condition by President Caldwell.
A long commentary on the deficit in the af-
fairs of the Wells Fargo & Company is un-
necessary as is the growing conviction all over
the country that government ownership has been
tried and found wanting. Federal control has re-
suited in neither improved service nor reduced
rates Quite the contrary! Rates are far in ex-
cess of the level under private ownership and the
service is becoming increasingly worse as the
tenure of federal control continues.

Germany 5 Wall

The clarnor of German statesmen and editors
against the peace treaty came as no surprise to
the Allies. They fully expected it, but the pre-
sumption of a plea for mercy did not deter them
from shearing Germany of all military power and
reducing her to state of economic dependence
that will prevent repitition of the great war
with the Huns as aggressors. To all of Ger
many's complaints against the severity of the
terms, there need be only one rejoinder, Refer
ence to her own treatment of conquered nations
and the terms she imposed upon Russia at Brest-
Litovsk"
There is only one immediate solution-peace
with Russia and the use of bolshevik troops for
Germany" Herr Geisberts, one of the German
delegates at Versailles, is quoted by the Neue
Zeitung as declaring with reference to the peace
terms submitted.
Herr Landsberg-@The cruel announcements
of the press have been exceeded No verbal OBJ
ictions can be handed over. We can do nothing
but say yes or no. That is the quintessence of a
peace of force"
Prof Schueckng- -"The document is simply
awful"
Premier Hirsch of Prussia, speaking in the
Prussian national assembly characterized the
peace terms as representing a purely mailed
fist" peace which would mean slavery for the
fatherland and fresh bloodshed for Europe"
Other statements indicate that the German
people are beginning to admit that their war lords
were primarily responsible for the and to see
that the sinking of the Lusitania and other afro
cities, which few years ago filled their souls
with gee, were moral outrages that in themselves
carried the cause of defeat.
