AND THE POT IS BOILING OVER.

Five months have now passed since the armistice
was signed with Germany. Yet the delegates to the
peace conference are still wrangling. 1t is Disappointing
that the allied powers, who fought during the war with
such noble harmony. seem now unable TO make the com.
promises necessary.
Very momentous problems of reconstruction are
waiting in all the allied countries. And day by day
anarchy and chaos grow in Europe and threaten to I'M
settle the whole world.
In this country great problems are unsettled. The
future of the railroads OF thousands of me min the rail-
road supply industry must be kept employed. But how
can they be kept at work, if neither the government Of
fcials nor the officers OF the railroads know whether the
roads are 10 be handed back to their former owners

Some will say the delay is due to the attempt 10 IN.

will say the hitch is elsewhere. Some will believe that
the French or other delegations are disposed to insist on
impossible terms. while others will say the American
delegation is disposed to let the Germans of with too
easy a punishment.
But there will be general agreement among all these
shades of opinion. that the peace settlement has taken
too long. President Wilson may very well suggest tina,

WHY THEY ARE RE-ENLIsTING {.

AS veterans Of the war offer themselves for reenust.
ment at New York recruiting stations. they are being ask
ed why they wish to rejoin the army, says the Christian
Science Monitor. Many veterans are being recruited
and In few cases. apparently, because there is no other
employment in prospect; in fact. only two men in a
hundred enlist because they find II difficult to get civ.
ilian work. Forty per cent. want to return to France
and the German zone of occupation under conditions less
exciting than than those Of the war. They feel, one NAV
judge, that the next few years there will be interesting
and IN life not so strenuous. Thirtytwo per cent. de-
sire TO take advantage of the opportunity that the army
affords its soldiers for learning civilian trades. Sixteen
per cent. return TO the army in gratitude for the fact
that it made men of them; = an delight per cent. because
they have acquired a liking for army life. One point
which the answers have in common is that they show
respect for the United States army by those who have
served in it.

sea in charge of American citizens.
These sound like common-sense proposals for the
creation and maintenance of a merchant marine worthy
of the United States.
We have as yet little more than the material basis
of sea power. We have the ships; it remains TO make
the fullest use of them, and that is a matter of careful,
constructive effort and friendly cooperation between
the government and the shipping interests.

pealed.
The House Committee on Agriculture

the repeal of this law. 1t Is likely to be
the next business taken UP by the
House. The bill is the same one which
failed at the last session on account OF
the tremendous press of business at the

q million dollars, principally for fighting
tuberculosis among farm animals
