Some Republicans who are looking
forward TO success In 1920 are
anxious on account of the pro-
spective splits among the Republicans
In both the senate and house. Ir
the house of representatives the divi-
sion will not amount to much. With
46 majority thcre viii not be enough
insurgents to prevent the Republicans
from settling their differences in eau
Gus. But in the senate. with only two
majority, one or two senators are able
to upset any caucus action and they
promise TO do SO unless they can have
their way. II is pointed out that these
Republicans cannot understand that
their victory will he valueless IL they
cannot harmonize differences and thai
quarrel is very apt TO disorganize
the party to such an extent that II
cannot go into the next presidential
campaign with hope of success. The
anxious ones bark back to the differ
ences in 1910 which gave the Demo
Gratis their congressional victory. and
the split in 1912 which assured the
Democrats a presidential victory. Co
ing still further back. they point out
that II was the differences and splits
among the Democrats that kept that
party out of power for so many years.

in feeding value as well. 1t is usually
advisable to have some other stock in
the pastures with the hogs to eat the
coarser plants. Cattle are best suited
for this purpose.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre viii be supported by
permanent pasture. In most cases
it is advisable to have some of the
best supplementary forage crops to
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
of good permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. OF course this acre
age could be reduced or the number
of hogs increased where a complete
succession of supplementary forage
crops is raised or where the land is
very productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.

Washington.-After the Civil war. a
contest of four years in which there
was an opportunity to develop SPLEEN
did officers, three men finally received
the rank of lieutenant general and
general. They were Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan. But 1t was long after
the civil war before Sherman and
Sheridan were advanced. Two men.
Farragut and Porter, became admiraIs.
For the most part. officers of high
rank In both the army and the navy
were denoted. They held commits
sions as volunteer officers. many be
Ing major generals and many briga-
dier generals. But when the army
was reduced, many Of these major
generals found themselves either ma
Jors or lieutenant colonies. Only a
few became colonies.
After the Spanish war there were
great manv promotions. Men went
up 70 high rank In both the army and
the navy.
And now, since the big war has
closed, there is a demand for keeping
the temporary high grades. 1t is sug-
gested that March. now the chief of
staff; Pershing, in command of the
American army. and Bliss, who has
been In France in a military capacity,
shall be retained for life as generals,
and that the men who have been made
lieutenant generals shall also retain
their rank. The demand is also made
that Benson, Mayo and Sims retain
their ranks as admirals In the navy,
instead of going back to their posi-
tions in the regular navy as rear adj
mirals.
There is bound to be a bitter con-
test over this in congress. but 1t would
not be surprising to see these high
grades recognized in the army and
navy appropriation bills.

girls with German babies. Money win
not pay for these things, but money
and work can In soma small degree
pay for the wrecked factories and ru-
ined business of the city of Lille, and
through the payment Of this money
and labor the people Of Germany VIII
learn that might is not right. and that
war for the purpose Of gratifying a
selfish ambition is not profitable.
Why Lille Was Not Destroyed.
The German retreat from Lille came
near the close of the war when the
Germans knew they were beaten and
they would have to pay, and for that
reason the city Itself was not de-
stroyed. But the fact that 1t was not
destroyed is but another evidence OF
German selflshness rather than or V1r-
tue.
There are hundreds Of cities and
towns that have been destroyed after
being looted as Lille was looted; hun
dreds of towns where even the mate
rial of which they were built has been
carried away that it might be used in
the construction of Notifications be-
hind which the German army might
defend itself and its ill-gotten gains.
For all of these Germany should pay
now, and for generations to come.
No sympathetic pardon board should
sit on Germany's case. No sentiment
alIst should have voice in deciding
her punishment. There is no more,
If as much, reason for eriency In fix
ing the punishment of Germany than
there would be for leniency In fixing the
punishment of the ruthless slayer OF
your son or your daughter. Germany
must pay all that the present and fu-
ture generations can pay, and she viii
even then have expiated her crime only
in small degree.
Any Demand Not Too Great.

American people for fair play IL all

the German people an injustice In the
demand for reparation. AS rode mile

senator James Hamilton Lewis
would like to change the method nv
which the senate pays tribute to its
dead members. "If 1t were In NV
power" he said in an address upon the
late Senator Tillman, II would abolish
our prevailing method of giving obItu-
ary-delaying the tribute until con-
venient time. would invoke In this
body that other rule prescribing that
when the solemn announcement Of the
death of comrade came to us, and
there were those disposed to speak OF
his qualities and deserts. that duty
should be discharged then" II the
illinois senator's suggestion were
adopted. the obituary speeches might
not be so polished and full of poetical
quotations, but they would probably
convey more feeling.
An interesting fact In connection
with closing up the affairs of the
great war Is that negotiations diff
fer from al other peace negotia-
lions, just as this war differed from all
other wars. For instance, the allies
are going to hold important confer
ences and will then call in the Ger
mans, Austrians, Turks and Bulgars
and tell them just what they can agree
to. Heretofore when peace negotiators
met, the victors and the vanquished
generally met on equal terms. Such
at least was the way in which the
Americans and Spaniards met at the
peace conference which closed up the
Spanish war. OF course the victors
always have the upper hand. but the
vanQuished are usually treated as
equals during the negotiations.
But the Germans are not going to
stand entirely as interiors. When the
peace terms are presented to them by
the allied delegates it is said that the
Germans intend to stand firmly upon
the IA points made by President VIII
son. They are preparing to assert that
they offered to make peace on the IA
points; that the president then asked
the men who made this proposition for
whom they were speaking, and they re-
piled the German people; that there
upon an armistice was proposed and
they were told to go to General Foch
and deal with him as to an armistice;
that they went to General Foch and ac-
cepted his terms as to the armistice;
that now they get back to the peace
terms in the IA points, and they will
claim that as Great Britain and France
accepted those IA points, Great Brit
ain excepting the freedom of the seas
proposition only, the United States
and the allies are bound to make peace
on the IA points.
But even If this is the proposition
from Germany 1t must be remembered
that the allies have the German fleet,
most of the German guns, all of the
territory conquered by the Germans,
and that they are very well established
in the strongholds of the Germans on
the frontier. And more than that, Cen
eral Foch did not say anything about
Ia points in the armistice and the
armistice was later than the message
of the IA points. and more than all
else, Germany will be compelled to ac-
cept whatever the allies offer in the
way of peace terms.

The guards that clustered so thick
" around the entrances to the govern
ment departments during the war have
disappeared. There was a time, and
It lasted until a few weeks ago, when
a stranger had TO undergo sort of in
quisltion before being permitted to go
into government office and transact
his business. Passes were issued to
employees and people whose business
often required them to visit the de-
partments, but others had to say whom
they wanted to see and what they
wanted to see him about before they
were passed through the Gordon of
guards. With the end of the war,
however. rehabilitation began, and
now there are only the regular num-
her Of wa.chmen on duty, Several of
the departments have reopened their
doors to slghtseers.

1t was interesting to note that when
the great revenue bill went back to
the house of representatives with its
more than GOO senate amendments.
there was no contest made over any
tax Increases or tax reductions or tax
additions. No contest was raised over
the question of making a different rate
of taxation for 1920 from that for 1919.
The contested items consisted of legis-
lation. Four were brought forward.
one relating TO making the District of
Columbia bone-dry; another TO pre-
vent child labor by the use of the
taxing power; a third TO compel con-
trihutors to political campaigns TO pay
100 per cent on contributions over
$500. to the United States govern
ment; and the fourth, the repeal of
the zone postage law and establish
ment Of q different rate of postage on
second-class matter. These items
caused considerable discussion. Mem
bers of the house showed more inter
est in them than they did in the tax
Ing features of the bill. One reason
was that every man In the house could
understand the four propositions that
caused the controversy and they did
not understand very much about the
tax portions of the bill.
