The Spccd Devil,

The devil Of Speed is murderous imp,
His face is SCARED and he walks with a limp
And his arms In sling. and his backs awry
And black and blue Is his terrible eye
Trailing his leap Is a broken array
OF things that got in the devils way
Things that were human, left in the track
OF the imp on his way to hell and back!
The devil OF Speed Is merciless wretch
Always he's eager to hurry and fetch
Death and disaster and broken bones
Dragging his victims over the stones.
Dragging his victims running them down
Stealing upon them in country and town,
Striking them down in the day and night
And grinnng with slee at the merry sight.
Howling and yowllng. ripping and tipping,
SNidding and over the Doulevacds slipping,
Ever and ever he flies his way,
The devil OF Speed in his with today.
Widows shall weep and children shall moan,
And he shall laugh who laughs alone.

Diritling Naval Snoiis

W1 HEN the American peace commissioners
w urged that the sinking OF the sur
rendered German fleet be brought about as a
means OF reducing Germany to impotence as
naval power, they undoubtedly foresaw the
almost nsuperable difficulties involved in any
division of the ships among the victorious
nations. 1t is now evident that these diff
ticulties have been realized by all hands and
that it will be impossible 10 find any basis
% distribution which will be satisfactory to
all interests.
Dispatches from Paris indicate that the
American plan has been rejected; that there
Will be no great naval funeral far out at sea
and that the allied governments have de-
clded 10 appropriate the German feet. They
are now seeking some means of apportioning
the vessels among themselves. Great Britain
has proposed that the ALLEGATION be made on
basis Of naval ships lost by the allies in
the war. This would. of course, give it a
lions share OF German craft France and
Italy ere contendng for ALLEGATION on the
basis OF lives lost on both sea and land This
would give France a larger share OF the
enemy feet.
Having been overruled on its proposal for
the sinking of the entire feet the United
States government has no further interest in
the German men-of-war 1t will make no
bid for single ship the dispatches further
indicate. 1t has stood consistently against
accepting any oil the SpOllS OF war, and while
the distribution of the twenty or more capital
SHIPS or the German navy between Great
Britain, France and Italy would give the
British an enormous lead over America in
fighting craft and would place France in a
position almost as strong as that of America
in sea power, the people at home will applaud
the decision of the President and his asso-
ciates TO make no claim for n share OF Ger
manyS fleet
An unfortunate phase of this situation is
the bearing it has upon possible dsarma-
menl or reduction Of ornaments, as result
of the league of nations. If the league is TO
serve any practical purpose, aside from out
having war-inclined governments that pur-
pose is one Of disarmament. 1t is to relieve
the peoples OF the world OF the heavy burden
OF military and naval establishments and
by that means largely remove the termination
of nations to engage in aggression against
their neighbors.
But disarmament is not to be encourap od
If one small group OF powers increases rather
than reduces its armies their navies The
world will not disarm itself unless the pro.
cess is carried forward by all peoples al once
If Great Britain, through the acquisition OF
score OF powerful German warships Cor
example. places itself in too dominant a posi-
! ton before the United States the American
