Quoting an apple farm. While handling
the quill on the World Mr.. Trimble
has managed somehow to nurse a So
acre orchard tract on the Entiat into

will harvest a crop worth anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 this year, and
that beats a newspaper mans salary
at least IS cents. Mr.. Trimble Is a

may live long to enjoy the fruits of
his labor.

A year ago today started the big
drive at the front which did not cease
until the Huns had been pushed back
to the Rhine and threw UP their hands
in defeat. That battle summer is one
that can never be forgotten by those
who had loved ones in France. Here
at home every scrap of news was Gag
erly seized, maps of the fighting front
constantly studied and anxiety was
depicted on every face. AT last as the
allies surged forward a feeling of
exaltation was manifested, and while
the daily casualty list was terrible
shock, yet those at home gloried in
the achievements Of the American
army as they could see the end of
kaiserism. After the experience of the
summer of 1913 it is the general feel
ing that anything that promises TO
lessen the possibility of another war
should be given a trial, even the i'm
perfect league of nations.

Legislating An Army

~ PPARENTLY the people of this
|N\ country will have to shoulder a
II y heavy army maintenance burden.
The extreme views of the war department
on militarism seem to be meeting with IA
vor at Washington. But the people may
yet prove the stumbling block to the de-
partment's plans.
Americans are not prepared to spend
$900,OOO,000 a year on the army and $900,-
100000 more on military training. With
regular establishment of reasonable size
$4,000 is the figure now proposed by
the moderates-the next most important
need will be that for officers. With an
abundant supply of these it would, in time
of emergency, be comparatively easy
matter to train new men.
During the recent war we had also to
train officers, which is far more difficult
task. Whatever else the final bill contains
there should be the most liberal provision
for officers as Gen. Leonard Wood has so
forcibly shown. OF course, the manufac-
ture of war material should be kept up, in
Surfing safe supply of guns and ammuni-
ton, and whatever else may be needed. Tt
ought also to be possible to reorganize the
national guard in such way as to make it
a fairly effective reserve. If universal
training is decided on, and this policy has
been widely favored, and is in no sense
militaristic, that, of course, will help
greatly.

for them. The lawyer not only says tneya
appeared and did valiant service, but ne
is able to identity several of them. Inc
heavenly host, he says was led by Joan OF
Arc, which seems entirely fitting and
proper. Associated with her were the
spirits of st. George, st. Denis, st. John
and st. Peter Other spirits that gave the
Allied command constant advice were
Richard /, the Chevalier Bayard, Simon Gle
Montfort, General Murat and Marshal
Ney.
If one is to believe that the long dead
men and women of France were as active
and as helpful to the modern French cause
as if they were alive, the belief must go
beyond that and agree as well that the
German command also called for help. We
admit, consequently, that the spirits Of the
dead German rulers and warriors were ar
aryed against the spirits of those who rep
resented the other side. The spiritual
strategy and efficiency of the Allied cause
was greater than that of the Hun and the
war was won. In the same realm of specu-
lation must come the thought that great
war was being fought in the spirit world at
the same time men fought here on earth.
There have been some startling revela-
tons with regard to spiritualism, but the
spiritualists will find it difficult to make
others believe that in the hereafter we
must go through the same strife we have
to in this world. Let us hope not.

Napoleon Won the War

NN0E have heard much about who won
\VAVI the war but the latest claim is being
wv made by the spiritualists They say
that Napoleon is the one responsible for
the Allies defeating Germany. The occult
converts draw this conclusion because of
their communications with the spirit world.
One of the most interesting things pub
lished in this connection comes from Lon
don where an attorney of unquestioned
integrity tells of some of his experiences.
He asserts that Napoleon began helping
the Allies at the outset of the war and in
spirit messages gave General Foch numer-
GUS strategic ideas. Not content with this
assistance Napoleon is said to have raised
q spirit army and fought beside the French
in the Allied trenches. Much has been
written about the "angels of Mons" The
English attorney goes farther than the
average British soldier telling about them,
who merely states as fact that the angels
were there but who is unable to account

Great Britain was not idle at the
peace conference. 1t was not engaged
in ainaless wandering in the academic
grove at Paris. Great Britain got
about what Great Britain really
wanted: it knocked freedom of the
seas into a cooked hat it picked
German colonies which round out the
empire in n good many parts of the
earth, 1t swallowed Palestine without
difficulty, 1t obtained President Will
sons Endorsement of imperial author
ity in Egypt. 1t is not necessary to
enumerate all the things Great Britain
wanted and got. The reasons why the
empire builders wanted most of these
things are clear, and the fact that
Great Britain wanted six votes in the
assembly of the league of nations does
not bear out President Wilson's pub
lished statement that six votes really
made only one vote.

be interpreted by many politicians as
a tryout of the generals popularity

STRIKE MOTIVES.

We should have supposed that the
threat of the strike or the order for
strike would have been preceded by
a very full statement of the causes of
the strike. That is one of the many
reasons that have led a large part of
the public to conclude that this is not
a strike to improve conditions of la
Dor, but to extend the power of the
American Federation over the Steel
corporation men. 1t is a strike not
for the good of the workers, but for
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the leaders.

Supreme Council Responsible
RHE supreme council of the Allies
peace tribunal was responsible for
/ dispatching American troops to the

Ill peace UTlDuudl was IcSpOuSlUlc LII
II dispatching American troops to the
Dalmatian coast. That was the eXplana-
ton made to congress. 1t comes as a re-
hinder that after all the war is not over
and the United States as a party, as well as
the European Allies in general, face most
serious situation in Italy That country
is astride volcano Of revolution.
But what is the supreme council?
It is a representative body of men Sc
lected by the Allies to handle the unsettled
conditions in Europe particularly those
brought about by our former enemies, UNI
til all of the peace terms can be put into
force and effect The Paris peace con-
ference held this to be necessary and very
wisely so. Congress gave to President Viii
son power to fight the war to a successful
conclusion and placed at his disposal the
unlimited resources of the United States.
While the armistice was signed Nov. IL
of last year, Europe has since been in an
upheaval and the long sittings of the peace
conference at Paris and the delay Of the
greater powers to ratify has not improved
the situation.
1t was natural for the people of this
country to be uneasy over the dispatch OF
American warships to the Dalmatian coast,
without an explanation being made as to
who gave the authority for the move. We
now learn it was the supreme council act
ing jointly for the Allies by and with the
consent Of the President of the United
States in whose hands congress placed I'M
limited power for the war period. Unless
we desire to remove that power we will
have to accept the explanation. Congress
has the power to take it from the President
but it would be unwise, in face of the dis
turbances in Europe, to do So
The endless delay in settlement of the
Fiume question, the embarrassing attitude
of Italy in refusing to accept the decision
of the Allies, has brought about a serious
situation in Italy. That country is con
fronted practically with instruction. II
is held to be necessary to have troops OF
the Dalmatian coast to protect the interests
Of the Allies and that the United States
must cooperate with the Allies in bring
ing about settlement or else withdraw
completely from the European situation, /;
thing we can hardly do now with gooC
grace after having sent millions of ou
troops overseas to fight with the Allies
against common enemy. While Ameri
cans desire to see their sons withdraw
from European shores just as quickly al
this can be DONE it also desires to see tn
peace drive through.
