Afraid to Come Out.

An interesting group OF business men
were standing at a busy corner the other
day waiting for a car. One OF them was
heard to say:
Fellows, what do you consider the
most remarkable accomplishment Of the
war;"
The faces of the men protrayed intense
interest and, quick as a fash, gentle.

"Why. the slash at Verdm viii 60 down
in history as one OF the most brilliant
accomplishments of the war

the sandy hair, but | think the clever

Americans As the greatest yet

the share Of the big things accomplished.
"Well. Jack, what do you say said
the first speaker to 4 tall dark, quiet
man standing with arms folded.
Speaking thoughtfulIy, he drawIed, Il
think the most glorious accomplishment
of the war is contained in these few
words-"Thc German feet was afraid to

Honestly, if a German bomb had been
dropped into their midst, those meu
would not have been more set back. "
They looked at each other and then at
the speaker.

"Sure, you never thought of it.. That
the way with us. Most of us never
thought of it. Most Of us do not think
enough at that. The fact remains that
the American navy "shooed' the subs

They conveyed over two million soldiers

son came over on the Mongolia and just
as soon as he is rested he is going into

to know the real inside life while on the
trips across and says it appeals to him.

this thought ringing in their ears-"The

A Common Language.

There will be music at the interna-
tional festival which begins this evening,
excellent music and plenty of it. But
there will be something vastly more,
When the peoples at the tower of Ba-
bel were smittcn with confusion of
tongues, they were permitted to keep one
language in common-music. Our COM
munity life has been smitten with con-
fusion of tongues, yet out OF them this
international music festival has evolved
the common language to express our
common bond. From piano concerto TO
ancient folk song, the program is a NOV
ing picture of our infinitely varied Amer
lean society The Americanization over
which we have been so concerned has
been taking place before our eyes in the
organization of these singers and play
ers. Like the host in the parable, Mr..
Hallam has gone out among the byways
and hedges for his guests, and the re
ward is picturesque and excellent
1t is more. There is something pro-
phetic in it, The festival is an embodi-
ment of community spirit. All the peo-
pies and races who are merging into this
great American experiment bring the
treasures of their art to common shrine
There is still in it something which is
both touching and inspiring.
In a world which still re-echoes with
the sound of blows; in a world which still
rumblcs with the threatenings of fresh
strife this sound of many voices, this
choiring of 20 nations singing in unison
brings a message Of peace and healing

The Modern Penalty of Victory.

In the Civil war there was usually a
stern investigation by Congress of the
battles that had resulted in defeats for
the union armies But, in this war, there
being no American defeats to investigate,
Congress has grimly determined to in
vcstigate the victories.
Take almost any victory and turn it
inside out--what happens? The conyic.
ton will grow upon you that it could
have been very much better done Either
it was too Costly in casualties, or the
artillery support might have been i'm
proved, or the aerial observation work
was poor, or some of our own shells ex-
ploded among our own men, or the roads
behind the front lines got congested, or
the water boys failed TO carry up water
fast enough for the gunners to drink, or
the division commanders liaison officer
got stuck two days and nights in a shell
hole something OF other was wrong.
The governor of Kansas, with Congress
apparently agreeing with him, isn't proud
OF the victory in the great American bat
tie of the Argonne forest, and the process
of ripping it open and showing the seamy
side has started on its long journey. But
we won the battle, didn't wef' asked
Senator Kirby, after the governors crit
icisms had been offered to the committee.
That fact, after all, should not be for
gotten
Poor Gen. Traub, the division com
mander, under fire not in France, but in
his own country, now tells the committee
in his own defense, that in spite of the
criticism from Kansas. "in the first three
hours of the battle we had taken what
the French had been up against for four
years" But it was costly advance, it
will still be urged by the fault finders.
The obvious reply TO that is that two
months later the war was ended, How
ever, the investigation will vigorously
proceed. Let no officer guilty of victory
escape.
Cen Fitz John Porter, who was under
a cloud for over 20 years on account Of
the blame unfairly loaded upon him for
the disaster of the second battle of Bull
Run, would rub his eyes, were he alive

Porter would now say. Next to losing
a battle. the worst thing general can
do in these days is to win it."-Spring-
