THE TURMOIL OF EUROPE.

The news from Europe is most dis
concerning, if all we are allowed to
hear can be believed 1t looks as
though the matter of coming to just
settlement of peace is as difficult as
war; Many things of selfish nature
are credited unto France and Italy
that are not in accord with American
the justice that should accompany the
adjustment of a peace basis
But fortunately much that we hear
cannot be trusted. 1t does not follow
that the old secret diplomacy policies
should be maintained. We hear this
or that of the entente allies, but most
of this is German propaganda. They
are still DESTROYS of wedging the situa-
ton with one allied nation or another
so that diSSensionS may take place.
This can be laid at the door of poll
tics, however, because there would be
no sense nor justice now in peace
table war of aggression for territorial
her deyiltry and will pay because she
will be forced to pay.
1t is safe to say that an honorable
peace will be attained-a peace of JUS
tice, with guarantees to all the entente
allies that will be satisfactory to all
concerned. The effort to muddy the
waters of a peace adjustment by stir
ring up false rumOrS and reports will
not succeed The big task is to bring
harmony in Germany so that she may
become organized under staple form
of government. If law and order can
not be maintained the way will be
open for the allies to step in and es-
tablish protectOrate, which will be
simply making business Organiza-
ton of the country that won't behave.
1t may take men and money and bring
on civil. war with the unsettled ele-
ments now opposing efforts to set up
a stable government of the people, but
it can be done. And perhaps protec-
torate government after all is the sur
est way to bring Germans to their
senses. They are sick of war. SO is
the whole world. But the responsible
ty of getting order in Europe will be
tremendous. Nineteen hundred and
nineteen must be wonder year for
good or evil in the world.

and the performance of duties neces-
sary for the public welfare. !.
1t was this, and this alone, which
caused such widespread delirium
throughout the country few weeks
ago when President Wilson announced
his purpose of going to Europe. Ev-
cry one admitted the fact that he had
a perfect right to go, but thousands of
our leading citizens protested vigor-
ously against such course largely be-
cause the thing had never been done
by any other occupant of the White
House.
The President is now in Europe and
has been there for over two weeks.
Moreover, he has been absent from the
United States for nearly month, and
still none of the dire calamities pre-
dicted by those who opposed his trip
have come to pass, while, on the other
hand, it is becoming more and more
apparent to every one who keeps In
touch with the march of events that
it is very fortunate that we have in
Woodrow Wilson at least one citizen
who declines to let the silly American
superstition that thing not yet done
should never be done interfere with
the full exercise of the right and duty
to follow the dictates of ones con-
science and best judgment rather than
senseless rules of precedent.
Long before the war closed it was
apparent that when the end came the
terms of the armistice would be based
largely, if not entirely, upon the ideas
of Justice outlined by our President in
his message to Congress and his notes
to the central powers. And ever since
the signing of the armiStice it has been
equally clear that the final peace
terms will be nodded very closely
along the lines which President Will
son considers best for the worlds well
fare. This is true both because he
represents the greatest of all nations
and one which, although it has been
the deciding factor in the war, has no
selfish interests to promote at the
peace table, and also because he has
become through his public utterances
and official acts the recognized and
universally trusted premier of the
world.

MYSTERY SHIPS.

Slowly by degrees the various prob
lens of the war are being unfolded.
The latest is the mystery ship" at
which President Wilson had his first
introduction while at Manchester this
week The mystery ship was built to
fool the L boat, and no one yet knows
how many times it succeeded The
plan of construction was the building
of merchantmen vessel so arranged
that the U boat could easily mistake it
for cargo carrier. So loaded with
timber that it could not sink when tor
pedoed, the mystery ship had a per-
iscOpe so concealed that the enemy
could be watched, and when the U boat
arose to make its capture the sides of
the mystery ship were suddenly drop
ped and the German blown out of the
water by broadside from six inch
shells.
This was one of the many XnKices
sent against the Germans, thus prov
ing that there are more ways than one
to kill cat

GERMAN AlRPLANE
CONSTRUCTION.

The French press is pointing out the
serious danger of allowing the Ger
mans absolute freedom in the cOnstruc-
ton of airplaneS for commercial pur-
poses. 1t is claimed that within few
years Germany could build twenty or
thirty thousand such planes and that
it would require but few days to
transform them into bombing planes
capable of carrying cargoes of explO-
sives sufficient to destroy Paris or Lon
don within a few hours or to do in
estimable damage throughout France
or England in single night.
1t is reported that already there is
widespread and almost feverish activi-
ty in German aircraft industries and
that extensive plans have been formu-
lated for the covering of all Germany
and indeed the continent of Europe and
many other parts of the world-with
network of German aerial transporta-
ton lines, and it may well be that the
apparent meekneSs on the part of Ger
many in surrendering her fleet of war
ships was due to the fact that the lead
ClS VI tildI COuiltlS nave fOSl IdltH Ill
the value of marine war vessels and
have decided to concentrate their eff
forts for future commercial and mill
tary supremacy upon the speedy crea-
ton of a huge fleet of fliers which
might well make them masters not only
of the air, but of land and sea as well.
Whatever Germany's real object may
be, it is evident that the warning from
the French people is very timely and
that measures should be taken imme-
diately by the allied governments,
which will perpetually prevent Ger
many from manufacturing aircraft of
any kind which can possibly menace
the peace of the world. 1t would seem
that this end might well be accomplish
ed by providing in the peace terms
that the allies shall perpetually con-
troll all German metal production and

possess any of the hauteur with which
he has been charged here at home.
Men have called him cold and distant,
whereas in all of his public appear
ances he has seemed to be the one of
the people themselves in the great
crowds of democratic hosts that have
greeted him everywhere. His speeches
are so unlike those that are delivered
by public men generally that he has
caught the popular eye, the, popular
ear and the popular heart as well.
And there has indeed been something
very fine in every one of his speeches
that have captivated the world. 1t
may be that, being on the native soil of
his own individual ancestry in Eng
land he poured out the simple lay of
heart that could not fail of letting its
emotional side come forth. His hui
man side, the tender side, the religious
side, the great stress he has laid on
peace of justice, have all appealed to
the popular clamOr. 1t is Il question II
any man in the history of the world
will ever again have similar OppOrtu-
nifty to literally love a world into adj
miring him for the sheer fineness of
his soul as evidenced in his European
speeches. They have indeed been Won
derful almost golden exhibitions of the
mans inmost depths of feeling. Wher-
ever he has been he has been met with
the most unparalleled enthusiasm by
all classes. One wonders where lies
this pandora box of exuding eloquence
that Mr. Wilson always bears with
him. His exquisite Fluctuations on all
subjects, his way of putting the hui
man touch to the most simple things,
brings him very close to the worlds
heart, because the world sees in the
man one determined to put an end to
all forms of injustice to peoples every
where.

ARE YOU A YELLOW DOG?

How many people belong to the 'yel-
low dog" class?
The meaning of this expression as
used today is the application it has to
that class of people who insist upon
saying things they have 'heard" about
the United States government, its head
or some one connected with it in some
leading capacity.
That story you heard about the Pres
ident that is authentic, since it came
from friend who had friend who
told him, so there can be no doubt
about it's truth. But do YOU know it
to be true? If you don't you are in
the yellow dog class.
The slanderous story you have heard
about the Presidents wife. Do you
know it to be true? It's dollars to
dOughnuts you do not, so you are in
the yellow dog class.
President Wilson has done this or
that, so you've heard. But you don't
KNOW it to be true, so you are in the
yellow dog class
The man who started the wild yarns
about the awful thievery in the avia-
ton department wrote himself down
as belonging to the yellow dog class
because he didn't know, as was proven
by the investigation that revealed the
truth.
OF all things that are mean and low
and cheap and contemplate it is to say
something against the moral character
of the chief ruler of the land-your
country. This is democratic coun-
try, and the right of criticism is vOuch-
safed to every man and every woman.
But the liberty of criticism is not Ii
cense TO SANDER.
The best advice to give any one is
NOT TO repeat anything you hear that
YOU PERSONALLY do not know to
be true.
The penalty of lying may never mean
anything, and some people seldom al
low their cOnSciences to upbraid them
for repeating lie But to take the
self-appointed position of putting your
self in the yellow dog class is some
thing to be steered clear of
To belong to the yellow dog class is
sinking very, very low in the scale of
human valuations.

SOME SINGLE TAX THOUGHTS.

A fellow townsman, Mr. e. II. Caffall,
has some interesting thoughts on sin
gle tax today. Mr.. Caffall has given
the subject great deal of thought and
has delivered many talks on the i'm
portance of single tax in several por-
lions of Bergen county. His plea in
the interview published elsewhere re-
duces the process of raising money for
the support of the government to very
simple methods. He takes the village
of Palisade as an example and shows
how if only 800 of the lots were taxed
at So each there would be S37 800 in
taxes raised without one dollar being
necessary on houses and other above
ground improvements. What revela-
ton this statement really is! And
what subject for serious thought !!
Certainly no man may with any de-
gree of justice doubt the feasibility of
this way of raising revenue. The plan
seems too good to be true. But there
is this to say, that not a man in the
borough would vote against single tax
if he thought he could pay nothing on
his home and only So on his lot. On
the same plan of assessment the whole
borough would yield twice as much as
it does today, even acreage values MAX
ing single tax much more productive
than the present unjust burden carried
by home owners.
The big thing to ask now is, Did any
body ever look at the question of taxa
ton just this way? The land is here,
and there isn't anything better to do
than to try to tax it this way. Think
of man paying only So a year tax on
his home and more money easily raised
on land than on homes. The state
ments of Mr.. Caffall confuse the mind,
almost, in their amazing significance.
Were we allowed to have commission
government, as we are entitled to, the
change could be made almost instant
ly. If commission were voted in to-
morrow every man could have his pres
ent tax refunded. The borough would
not be the loser, but largely the gamer,
for were the public to know that man
could live in Fort Lee borough at 50 a
year tax an overwhelming number of
people would flock here almost imme-
diately.

NEW WATER RAISE.

The appeal of the Hackensack Wa
ter Company for raise of 20 per cent.
in its present rates is not in any sense
surprising. All over the country the
cry is the same. The street railway
companies, water companies, gas COM
panies and public utilities generally
are after raise in rates. All claim
to be losing money on account of the
high price of labor and material. In
some cases the demand is doubtless
legitimate. In the water company case
the increase will no doubt be allowed.
Its justice is another matter. At least
the company's appeal is cOuched in
reasonable language, and we cannot
doubt it's statements with any degree
of right. But the Lord knows water
rates We're high enough before.

THE GROWING AMERICAN
TOY INDUSTRY.

The closing of the ports of Germany
during the last four years has denuded
the markets of the world of practically
all German made toys. In some of
these markets it is doubtful if the
stocks will ever be replenished from
Germany During the war England
has been securing many of her toys
from France, Italy and Japan, and it
is probable that in the future Ameri-
can toys will also find good market
there.
The toy manufacturers of America
have had such an increase of orders
since the signing of the armistice that
the demand far exceeds their output
Before the war there were but II
the manufacture of toys, with an an
nual business of only about $7,5OO,0OO
However, during the war "a new toy
factories were started and it is eSti-
mated that the aggregate business OF
the entire toy industry for the year
1918 will be more than $20,00O000,0
The assurances which American toy
manufacturers are IeCtlNlllS HUH Ivy
dealers, that they will not deal in Ger
man made toys for many years TO
come is greatly stimulating Our Ameri-
can toy industry, and will do much
toward making the United States the
foremost toy producing country of the
world.
Toy makers are planning to use
thousands of crippled soldiers in their
work, which is not only light but is
of such a nature that, even should a
soldier be unable to come to the fac
tory, the work could be performed by
him at home. This home work plan
has been carried on successfully for
many years in the toy centers of Eu-
rope, and it is probable that many of
our boys who have been crippled by
the war will be able to secure con-
genial and profitable employment in
the American toy industry.

LUKE McLUkE SAYS

The oldest animal in creation is
reformer who suddenly finds himself
the subject of reform.
1t is wonderful how sweet woman's
voice can be when she is talking to
some other woman she hates.
Another remarkable thing is how a
man is never anxious to stay married
the way he is to get married.
Nobel was smart man. The only
reason why he didn't offer Nobel
prize to be awarded to the man who
minded his own business for year
was because he knew the prize would
never be won.
You wouldn't believe it possible to
use up HAS words and not say a
thing, would you? Well, just listen to
young fellow who is talking to his
girl over the phone.
The old fashioned girl who used to
put her hair up in curl papers now has
a daughter who sends her hair to the
dressers and has a permanent wave
put in it.
Women can stand pain better than
men. A tight brassiere would kill a
man if he wore it for an hour, but a
woman can wear one all day and ap-
pear comfortable.
Why is it that man who is sensible
enough in other ways will try to see
how close to the danger line he can
get without stepping over it?
When the bride suddenly begins to
realize that the wealth of his love
won't pay the installment collectors
the honeymoon is over.
If they are out together and mans
wife sees fat woman she always asks
him if 'I' am as fat as "she' is. And
he always grunts something that she
can't understand. He would like to
say, "Fatter!' but he is afraid to.
Another trouble with prohibition is
that a fellow will have to go on all the
way out to the zoo when he wants to
see snakes.
The reason why girl is afraid of a
mouse is because she is wearing her
best stockings and there is a man
around.
1t is wonder the dear things do not
lose more things on the street. A Wo-
man places as much confidence in pin
as a man does in suspension bridge.

WHAT THE PALlSADlAN WOULD
LIKE TO SEE.

For the year 1919
The Palisadian would
Like to see
Everybody happy.
Everybody satisfied
And successful and prosperous.
Higher tone to local politics.
Cleanness in handling our local af-
fairs.
Palisade turned into a borough
Mayor White keep his solemn pledge
to the people about commission gov
eminent.
The time when taxes will be as
sessed by man and not by whelp.
The time when every dollar will be
spent in the open and bills paid by
detail and not by number.
The time when lying will cease in
the conduct of our small governments
The time when petty politicians will
cease posing and give the taxpayers a
square deal.
The time when taxation is based on
a right basis of equalization.
The time when all citizens will wake
up and see to it that they are rightly
governed and not led around by the
nose by political mountebanks who
trade with both sides.
The time when tone and character
in public officials will be stamped in
their acts instead of fooling the public
with words and promises that never
have fulfillment
The time when prejudice for truth
and right will be maintained against
all evil forces.

THE HEART OF WILSON.

President Wilson's speeches in Eng
land have attracted worldwide atten-
ton, perhaps no less so than his deliv-
cries in France, however The COM
mon people of those two countries
have had the experience of getting
down close to the heart of great
American leader and publicist. In Eu-
rope Mr.. Wilson has not seemed to
