aEaglets" That Never Screamed.

Continuing the program of emergency con-
struction after the need for it has passed seems
wasteful, but to continue after its product has
proved useless and unavailing verges on crim-
inal misuse Of public money. The Navy de-
partment has ordered that sixty Of the Henry
Ford eagle" boats be constructed, although
the war is over and the submarines they were
TO have chased are now in the hands of the
Allies This in face of the fact that admirals
Of the navy have testified that they would not
sanction the construction of an eagle" boat
in peace times Nor has it been proven that
the Ford design is seaworthy; on the othef

months from the date of the contract, 10 within
one month thereafter, 20 the following month,

liz had been filled As matter of fact by the
FIRST week in November only seven had been
delivered, and of these six were hurried down to
the ST. Lawrence in far from complete cond-
ton, to escape being frozen up at Detroit.
Instead of eliminating the contract and set
fling for the work and material as it had the
right to do, the Navy department has ordered
the completion Of sixty of these boats, which
are slow and uncertain "a torpedo boat de-
stroyer has a maximum speed of IS to SO

profit of $l,2OO,OOO. These boats will be useless
until the next war
Moreover the factory in which these boats
are constructed was built by the government,
the Fords not investing penny in its erection.
It is to be sold" now, and the prospect is good
for Mr. Ford getting factory building, S50x

Liebkneeht's Sad Ending.


If il be true that Karl Liebknecht has fallen
victim to shot fired by Prussian soldier, a
life Of many attractive qualities has terminated
ANONYMOUSLY. Karl Liebknecht was great
force in Germany, and not without influence
outside of his country. His socialism was de-
void Of most of the vargaries Characteristic Of
the lesser minds involved in the cult, while his
program for Germany at least was con
structive His courage is exempERed BY his
opposition to the junker element in the gov
eminent, and especially to the war, for which
he paid the price of imprisonment The change
that came over him after the downfall Of Ger
many has been explained BY some Of his former
friends as due to insanity brought on BY his
life in prison. Only on this theory can his
espousal Of bolshevism be accounted for, just
as in the case of Lenine and Trotzly it is
ascribed to a mania for vengeance rather than
any desire to reform the world-another in
stance Of Sweet bells tangled out Of tune"
Liebknecht as an apostle and champion of
liberty ought not to be swallowed entirely BY
Liebknecht as an advocate of anarchy and de-
struction, but il will be long before he really
gets Justice from an excited world

Perhaps he has reconsidered. Clearly, Bryan

History has always regarded it as one Of
| its richest jokes on the astute doctors of
diplomacy that Napoleon broke loose from Elba
while the Vienna congress was still painfully
patching up the Europe he had torn to pieces.
/ Are the eineal descendants of these Vienna
diplomats-whose open diplomacy" requires
an ENHANCEMENT of permits, regulations and
even psychological barriers to keep it secret
quite sure that if they are too tedious with their
preliminaries and preludes, the red knuckles of
anarchy may not startle them with an arresting
rap on the conference door?
kurope-even the Europe In which we have
the most conhdence-cannot endure every
thing. There is a remark of almost sinister
significance in DR. E. ]. Dillon's informing
cable He is telling us that the outcome of the
struggle in Germany concerns all Europe and
the world and that "this war has let loose
moral epidemic which is spreading over Bull
garia, Hungary, Lithuania Germany, Austria"
and-in certain eventualities-" Belgium" Then
DR. Dillon adds:
This enumeration does not include all
countries in which bolshevism is become an
actual danger but it exhausts the list which the
official censors deem it wise to publish"
If that means anything-and DR.. Dillon
always means a great deal when he is cryptcal
by comDulsion-it means that the forces of law
and order in nations outside of Russia and the
enemy countries have imperative domestic du-
ties TO meet and master This means that they
ought to be relieved as soon as possible from
the engrossing labors of the peace conference.
This: in turn means that the peace conference
should get started and get through Otherwise
history may have joke on the diplomats, be-
