Whatever the details of the final set
Element may be, and whatever we may
decide to do with reference to our do
nestle affairs, no one can, n would
think, doubt that the future peace
and safety of the world and the rights
Of man must be safeguarded by the
great nations that have fought side
by side in the war. Between them
there must be the closest unity that
is compatible with the independence
Of each. The United States, Great
Britain, France and Italy are the
guardians of the future. says Indian
apolis News. Whether there is a for
NAL league of peace or not, there must
be an informal and implied one, includ-
ing these powers, and of course the
great free commonwealth of Canada
and Australia.

Cattle Chatter, in the San Antonio
Express, says that in one cold wave
which had been forecast by the wealth
er bureau last winter many thousands
of dollars worth of cattle died of ex-
posture when they could have been
saved had the owners read the wealth
er bureau forecasts, says Houston Post.
The old fogy still does not trust the
governments new tangled" weather
prophecies; but the successful cattle
man and the successful farmer take
advantage of all the facts the govern
ment can give them regarding their
businesses. And the weather bureau
dispenses facts these days.

eREAr ARMY Thai DIED.

Those were noble words Premier
C%lemeneeau uttered in the French
chamber of deputies as the cheering
subsidized after Tie reading OF the terms
of the arlnistice: Let us honor the
great army that dledI" In that NOV
ing phrase he spoke the inmost feel
ings I'll only of millions of French
men and women, but of the peoples
of all the allied nations that shared
in winning the war, says New York
World. 1t is a time for universal re-
joicing that the shedding of blood on
the battletields of Europe has ceased.
1t is also a time for reverent tribute
to the men who gave their lives that
the right should prevail. They have
made the supreme sacrifice. To them
has beer denied the reward of joining
in the final triumph and exultation
over victory. They have passed be-
yond reach of the clamor of shouting
multitudes, of pealing peace bells, of
the voices of loving friends and kin
dred and the touch of hands they held
dear. But they, too, wear the victor's
crown. though they failed to see the
hour of ultimate victory. They have
bequeathed to those left behind the
glory and the honors. In the men who
return from the wars we shall show
our pride, but, with Premier Clemen-
ceau, may we never forget to honor
"the great army that died."

One of the submarine officers at the
crews of torpedoed ships as a military

left to fight. On the same principle
we might refuse the aid to Germany

1t is a poor rule which will not work
both ways.

There are no logical, business or So
cial reasons why farmers and business
people of the cities and towns should
not be neighbors and friends. Ameri-
cans are honored the world over.
Farmers produce food, business men
buy and distribute, and supply farm
ers what they cannot raise. Neither
can prosper without the other. The
country needs both. Why not closer CO.
operation?

Victims of the war not given enough
consideration in the sympathy of the
public are the war babies who are be-

unfortunate infant has just been chris

The last 10 months have brought US
out of our shells, jolted us u of our
selfish habits, taught US to think of
others as never before, warmed the
cookies of our hearts toward our fell
low men whom we had formerly des-
ignated as strangers. 1t knit the ma
ton together as never before. 1t gave
us a supreme common purpose. Bust
ness, pleasure, self-interest, comfort,
convenience, ambition were all subor-
dinated to the welfare of the nation.

The presence in the West, simultane-
ousTy, of a party of distinguished
French churchmen and a mission com
posed of the representatives Of the
principal universities and colleges of
Great Britain reminds us once again
that war may be constructive as we'll
as destructive; that it may make as
well as break ties, says Rocky Noun
tain News. The sword, drawn in a
just cause, serves not only liberty but
religion and learning as well, and thus
brings US a step nearer our ideal of a
universal brotherhood of man.

Harry Gilman lived in Belgium in
1914 when the monster German Jug
gernaut went on its ruthless path of
destruction. He saw both his parents
killed by the Hun. Taking his ia
theirs revolver from his hands, he
managed to kill three German officers
in the party which shot his father and
mother. After six weeks confine-
ment he escaped and made his way to
a detachment of British cavalry with
which he remained for two years He
was gassed while with the 5th, and
wounded at Belleau woods and Cha
teau Thierry. He was brought to
this country zy Eva E. Sorensen of
