IL your cocktails be musical and, accord

master put it yesterday, music 'is the only
sensual thing the overindulgence in which
brings no bad results" There is a type
of mind. of course, which will find in this
Endorsement both a paradox and a draw
back. How, il may be asked, can a thing
productive solely of good be overdone, and
can a spree, unshadowed by the fear OF
subsequent regrets, attain a maximum Of
spicy charm?
But the march kings philosophy ignores
such dsquieting queries, and it may
prove wise for us to follow his lead in the
Imminent era of the great and enforced

.IsoLATIoN. AND UNPREPAREDNEss

TINE House of Representatives, formerly
L mouthpiece for jeremiads on the ma
tion's neglect of preparedness, now seals
with approval the defense act of 1916 au-
thorizing' an army Of only 10000 men.
Viewed as d temporary measure, open to
change according to the outcome of the
Peace Conference. caution in still clouded
situation may be discerned in the action.
On the other hand if the temper Of Con.
gress is unfrendly TO the league of nations
idea, it may be permissible to ask how we
are going to buttress splendid isolation"
with force so small. The alternative TO
entering into covenant to preserve the
peace is surely the assumption Of an in
dependent role in which we must be ready
for war The nation had no "entanglinG
alliances in 1916, Yet it was on the brink
Of strife for which it was not equipped.

mands for free will with conduct which
leaves the nation insuf+iclently supported
