10y Munyon left old Idaho,
And to Rochester, MINI, did go.
lie went TO consult Mayo Brothers
About his health as do many others.
They gave the boy some good
advice,
And course OF treatment not so
nice.
On Friday evening he got his
assignment
On Saturday morning to the
hospital he went.
They sat him on a table In the
operating room
And the surgeons got ready to
play surgical tune.
OF all the tunes he ever heard
IL was farthest from that OF an
Idaho bird.
They tied his hands down to the
table
And tho he tried to get away he
wasn't able.
They gave me ether in doses strong
And soon he was far from the
noisy throng.
lie awoke again after little while
But gone for tho moment was that
Idaho smile.
lie wore tired lock on bis boyish

As on the sec ond floor he took his

Potomac Water and Power.

A practical step toward increasing
the water supply and possibly utiliz-
ing the hydro electric power of the
Potomac river has been taken by the
Senate committee in the adoption of
an amendment to the District appro-
priation bin providing for commits
sion of five engineers to investigate
the sources of water supply and to
report "at the earliest practicable
time" They are to estimate the prob
able cost of a project to transmit
water sufficient to augment the pres
emit supply commensurate with pres.
emit and future needs, including the
territory embraced within the juris.
dietion of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission and federal
military reservations contiguous to
the District. The amendment as
drawn does not specifically include q
report upon the project for furnishing
power, though the commission is au-
thorized to investigate with this pur-
pose in view. Doubtless the latter will
be construed as including the former.
1t is most desirable that the cues
ton Of Potomac water supply and
power should be attacked without
any further delay. The District needs
more water at this time, and It's needs
will increase rather than diminish.
Decision should be reached as to the
feasibility of both increasing the sup
ply and utilizing the surplus water
for power purposes. If the two can
be accomplished the urgent necessity
Of increasing the water supply will
make 1t possible at the same time to
harness the Potomac to furnish large
part OF the power required for the
eity's uses. If there is not enough
water available within the drainags
area to accomplish both purposes, With
assurance Of continued power q low

Gefnaany's blunder in forcing the
United States into the war by adopt
ing . policy Of Unrestricted submarine
warfare two years ago caused her de-
feat. This is definitely proved now
BY the figures given out by the War
Department, stating the total numer-
ical strength Of the American forces
when the armistiee was signed and
showing the rifle strength" of the
two sides at different times during
the summer Of 1918. Had it not been
for the accession Of man power from
this country the allies would have
been overwhelmed in the final rush of
the enemy.
Germany began the great offensive
March q, being at that time in greater
strength on the western front than
were the allies, then including a small
number of American troops. Our men
had been flowing overseas In relative
~ small numbers, owing to the neces.
sity of using the major part of the
shipping for the transport of supplies
The rate Of man shipment at once in
creased Every possible means of
transport was utilized. Our forces
began to stream over in great and in.
creasing numbers. It took three
months to turn the tide.
On the LIST of April the Germans had
$4,000 more men in the front trenches
; ready for active battle work than the
allies BY the LIST Of May, owing 10
the accession of American strength
the German advantage had been re.
; dneed to $4,000 men. By the LIST of
June it had fallen to 5000 men
That month of June saw the definite
passing of the balance of fighting
power from the German to the allied
side, in consequence Of the tremen.

and on November / it had risen to ses,.

and on November it had risen to SOC,
600.
Inasmuch as ON the LIST Of Novem-
Der the Germans had only s66,000 men
in rife strength it is likely that in
another month the allies would have
had more than two men in the front
trenches to every available German.
It was undoubtedly this fact that
caused the high command at Spa to
sue for an srmistiee. The German
ease was hopeless. The lines could no
longer hold against the ever-increas-
ing pressure. Not even continuous re-
treats could prevent an utter disaster.
The armistice undoubtedly saved many
lives on both sides, but it averted a
crushing defeat in the field for the
once confident German army.

In his letter to The Star from Paris,
published yesterday, Mr.. Frank H.
Simonds says some things certain to
arrest very grave attention. This, for
an instance:
1.-THE familiar American idea is that
as soon as possible after our job is
done we should recall our troops and
return to our old isolation. This view
is held by not a few Americans in
Paris, but it is not the European idea.
nor do I believe the thing will be pos
sible. Rather, there are multiplying
evidences that when we broke with our
past to enter this war we broke with
it not for year. not for the period
Of the war, but forever"
And then, after discussing the gen.
eral situation in Europe, and what is
expected there to set things right and
keep the world on an even keel, Mr..
Simonds sums up, and concludes as
follows:
therefore, I want my American
readers to examine with some care
this new world which is in the making
in Paris, and which their own coun-
try is doing 50 much to form. Moth
ing seems to be more likely now than
that We who were only associates of
the western nations in the war will
find ourselves their allies when the
peace of Paris is completed, allies COM
mitted to . good peace and sound
working fabric Of the league of ma
tions, but allies also committed TO per-
manent activity outside of our own
hemisphere. 1t IL, perhaps, possible
to exaggerate this impression which
one derives in Paris ought to
say that there are amy Americans
here who strongly Disagree. and be-
heve that Ameriea win easily and
completely separate herself when the
treaty Of peace is signed. But do
not find justification in the situation
here to warrant this optimism or pes
simism, Is one may choose to re-
gard it,
1t has been suggested in other cor
respondenee from Paris that, upon his
return, the President may decide to
stump the country, in explanation Of
his course at the peace conference,
and in advocacy Of the ratification Of
the treaty to be drafted BY that body.
II that instrument Is to commit Amer
lea to any such policy Is Mf. Simonds
describes, the Presidents tour will be
far and away the most important ever
made by an American statesman. And
while great thronss would have heard
him in any circumstances, still greater
thfongs win gather and listen If his
message is to the effect that we have
broken permanently with the past, and
must 60 forward on lines Of perma.
nent and general foreign alliances.

Poland and Czechoslovakia.

A sensible provisional adjustment
Of the Czeeho-P Polish difficulty has
been effected through an armistice
signed February 8 and renewable at
seven day periods. A veritable state
of war has been developed between
the two republics over the rich min
eral area of Austrian Silesia, claimed
by both of them. Armed forces were
in possession of strategic points in the
territory and conflicts had occurred
Had it not been for the influence of
the Paris peace conference these two
peoples SO lately released from monar-
chieal thraldom would have been saw,
agely fighting one another, to the
scandal Of the world and to their own
serious disadvantage.
silesia. the bone of contention, is
one Of the chief sources of European
coal supply. 1t is rich in other min
erals. It is claimed by. Poland on
historical grounds and by Czecho-
slovakia on the score of having been
part of the Austrian realm at the time
Of the secession and also on the ground
Of its economic Importance to the new
state. By whatever method the claims
are decided, obviously the reference
of the matter to an international ar
bitration is infinitely preferable to a
decision by force Of arms.
This war has just been fought to
the end, it is to be hoped, of assuring
the settlement of disputes by peace
able methods. It would be a travesty
and shocking reversion to the old
barbarism for Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia now to fight over a justiciable
question. These new states lately re-
deemed from the oppressive sover-
eighty Of Germany, Austria, Russia
and Hungary have bright future if
they will proceed according to the
new principle Of rational settlement
of disputes and lay the, foundations
for their prosperity in peace.

The District Bill in the Senate.

The District is gratifed, though not
surprised, at the action Of the Senate
appropriations committee in reporting
the District appropriation bill with
The provision for the half-and-half di-
vision of capital and municipal ex-
penses between local and federal reve-
nues restored 1t was confidently ex-
pected that this would be done as in
the past, when the House attempted
to overturn the fundamental principle
; Of District maintenance. The subeom-
nittee by waving all hearings on the
question had clearly indicated its at
titade of opposition to the House ae-
tion, and there is now no reason to
Doubt the sending of the bill to con-
ference with the half -and- half pro-
vision restored and little reason to
! doubt the ultimate passage of the
measure in that form.
II is to be regretted, however, that
the Senate committee did not bring
Tie total of proposed appropriations
up to the measure of the Districts
needs. If the bill is not increased in
the Senate it will go to conference
: carrying an amount less by $1.042,-
e22 66 than the current appropriation,
this being the first time in many years
that the Senate draft Of the bill has
Hsoposed a smaller fund for District
maintenance than that already pro-
vided.
Il is true that conditions were ad-
verse to increases. The estimates
we're submitted under wartime condi-
: lions and were, therefore, curtsiled.
Dy an executive mandate the estimates
for salary increases were separated
from the general budget. Neverthe-
less, it was hoped that inasmueh as
g the time the bin was framed peace
vas sirtuzlly restored, with q conse-
dsent lessenins Of the necessity of ex.
IRENE economy, consideration would
BE- given to the Districts pressing needs
fer expansion and enlargement in
various lines, notably in the matter of
eshoel salAries, the seaae of which has
not been increased by the Senate com
mittee, despite the most urgent appeals
by the teachers themselves and by
citizens grasely concerned In the well
fsre of the local educational system.
The difficulties met by the school ad-
Miaistration in keeping the teaching
force organized efficiently will not be
1ssssaed, but are likely to be In
creased in consequence Of this faiinre

not tell II II was genuine or not. She
did not wish to risk sending q COM

Of sending n return message asking

The answer with the right names
came at once. and the son received
the money. He has been boasting OF
