TOO WILD IN CELEBRATION
Horrors Of Trenches, Somewhat
Astonish the French.

Not the least Of our pride ia the ex-
peditionary force was its good behav-
Tor. For general morals we were the
prize winners. But, of course, soldiers
In nOnpr0hibition country will get
drunk now and then. One reason for
our prohibition wave is the fact that
many Americans have no moderation
In their use of alcohol, and that they
sometimes tend. when drunk, to tear
up the sidewalks, writes Will Irwin, In
the Saturday Evening Post.
Your French p0ilu, who, in his reac-
ton from the trenches took to liquor,
got blissful and genial jag, which ex-
pressed itself in talkativeness and in
Irritation. The American whooped it
up.
As two coyotes On a moonlight night
can give the impression Of O whole
wolf pack, so two drunken Americans
could give the appearance of drunk
en- army. They might be surrounded
by fifty pOiluS, all half seas over; 1t
was the Americans whom one noticed.
This tendency brought Its most de-
plOrable effects in Paris. The capital
OF the world was not leave center.
Nevertheless all sorts of commissions
and activities centered there; soldiers
were constantly coming and going on
military eFrands; moreover, though
Paris was officially barred. men never
theless got Paris leave by pull or ca
jolery. In spite Of the provost marshal
and the military police we always had
the American drunk with us; and
when present he always announced
himself The French, who, as have
said. grow merely genially expansive
with liquor, did not like this

One Of the ablest and most conclusive

opinion Of one Of the most learned and
able iursts that ever occupied the

icy or expectation they may have had
as to the outworking Of that arrange
mcnt. The constitutional reference is
TO the individual and not to the office.
II therefore follows that when tne In
dividual becomes governor, as IN this
case, he takes the office WITH all its
powers and prcrogativcs and holds It for
the balance Of the gubernatorial term
not the secretarial term. Among tho
powers Of this office is that Of filling
vacancies in public positions. A vacan-
cy may arise from a variety Of causes;
among others it may como about
through resignation. There is nothing
in The constitution TO indicate that
when the secretary assumes the oil.gu

10 both positions On reason, he may
resign either or both of them. On the
other hand he has the constitutional
right 10 hold both Of them But IL ho

Of state, then in his capacity anu in
the line of his duty as governor, ho
must fill the vacancy created, according
