calm summer day. Every nation
has its unpIumbed depths, in which
lie strange and terrible possibili-
ties. TouSsaint L'Ouvcrture. the
negro rcyolutionists OF Santo Do
mingo, gave at his trial dramatic
illustration. Filling of his palm
with black seeds, and sprinkling
them over with a thin layer OF
white seeds, he shook his hand and
held it up to the Judges, asking,
"Wherc are the whites" When the
thin top layer has been swallowed
up by the bottomless abyss, we
need no further explanation. When
emigrcs stream across the Rhine
to escape the guillotine, when the
Car and the black hundred gave
place to Trotzky and the red guard,
nobody doubts that there is a new
France, a new Russia; why should
there be doubt OF the possibility
OF changes less extreme vet equal
ly rapid.
The slight examination OF his
tory suiiices TO show that national
character and the behavior of a
nation depend upon a small num-
Der OF individuals, who not merely
shape events, but set standards,
create ideals, monopolize atten-
ton, make friends or enemies ior
the nation. To displace those in
dividuals and replace them with a
quite different set representing
other policies and ideals is to make
an immense and seemingly dispro-
portionate chhange in the character
of the nation. An England, for eX-
ample, authoritatively run by Mr..
Henderson, Mr.. Clynes, Mr.. Mac
Donald and II. G. Wells would be
very different from an England run
by Lord Miner, Sir Edward Car
son, Winston Churchill and Rud-
yard Kipling. Which would be
the better England is beside the
point; the essential thing is simply
that the aScendancy of one or an
other group has an immediate Ell
feet upon the character and be-
havior of a nation.
As for Germany it so happens
that the only powerful group which
is unquestonably pacific in tenn
per represents a school of economic
thought which is uncongenial to
the mass OF the people in Great
Britain and the United States.
German liberalism, which seemed
hopeful to the failure OF the revolt

OF lS49, has apparently accepted
the struggle-for-life theory and
views England as Germany's en-
envy and oPposer. If we desire a
pacific Germany which will cor
daily cooperate in the work of
civilization, we must seemingly put
up with a socialist Germany-mild-
ly socialiStic, perhaps, yet welded
to theories to which both England
and this country there is strong
and rather widespread hostility. To
many people neither alternative is
particularly pleasing, yet in actual
lie we can seldom choose pre-
cisely as we should like-thc good
and the bad, as we conceive them,
are not usually done up in separate,
clearly labeled packages. As be-
tween a kaiseristic Germany seek
ing conquest and a socialistic Ger
many seeking a durable peace it
should not be hard, after the raw
ages OF the present war, to choose.
The essential thing is that it is ap-
parently only by the ascendancy
OF the Socialists that the reform OF
a militarized Germany can be made
immediate and complete.

HOW MILWAUKEE SAVES
MANY CHILDREN'S LIVES

Figures compiled by the munich
pal health bureau OF the city OF
Milwaukee show that the mortality
OF infants under l year OF age in
that city in 1912 represented Is per
cent of all the deaths reported. In
1917, it was 20 per cent. This de-
crease is attributed to the child
welfare work carried on by a local
committee and inspired by the
Children's Bureau, Department OF
Labor. The establishment of
health clinics for sick children and
OF municipal keep well' centers
where healthy children are taken
for observation and for advice con-
corning methods OF retaining
health have brought good results.
The parental clinics for mothers,
where intelligent hygiene for
motherhood is taught, also have
been found of value in helping to
reduce the number OF babies who
die in the first month of existence
on account of lack OF proper par
entail care OF the mothers.

the desire is often expressed that the ietrrn of the
boys should be conducted with all possible speed and
that when they do return they be allowed to go to
their homes with minimum OF time spent,in quaran-
tine, hospital and rehabilitation camp
There is grave danger to some OF those needing
protection the most, in this policy of haste dictated
by love though it be- The boys who may truly be
killed by this kindness are the convaescent soldiers
They are anxious to get home; their people long to
have them; and yet any pressure brought to bear

considered wise by the hospital authorities is grave
mistake.
Every provision is made in the government hospital
to afford the sick and wounded boys the best OF care
the aid OF scientific and carefully studied treatment
and apparatus No home can be as we'll equipped, no
home nursing can make up in love what it lacks in
skill
The true kindness to the boy is TO leave him where

hand to help him, and then to do all the loving gra
cious things the heart dictate to make the hours
less tedious. Books can be sent and games and let

BOOTLEG BOOZE AS A FLUICIDE

legislature when the matter OF ratiiyng the federal
prohibition amendment about to come up:
q never drank more than glass Of whiskey in
my life but when had the flu half a cup OF bootleg

SCHOLARSHIPS ARE
ADVOCATED FOR THE
SCHOOL CHILDREN

a child who leaves school early
10 go to work is as assuredly manned
for all time as the soldier who re-
turns wounded from the trenches.
Not only does he run the risk Of
becoming permanently crippled in
health by his premature entrance in
to industry, but he will also find
himself heavily handicapped by the
lack of training when the time comes
for him to complete as an adult with
skilled labor.
Our armed forces have been fight
ing war for democracy. But de-
mocracy, to be enduring must be
built upon the solid foundation Of
saved and protected childhood.
The children of today must carry on
this same ideal tomorrow. Ii they are
to do this wisely and well they must
be made and kept fit for such i'm
portant work.
The rescue OF children from the
kind OF exploitation that stunts their
growth, cripples their health, and
perverts their general development
can be best accomplished By keep
ing them in school until they have
been sufficiently educated or trained
to become good workers and good
citizens.
The value Of school scholarships
in combating the tendency OF boys
and girls to leave school for a tenn
porary financial advantage has been
clearly recognized both here and in
foreign countries, according to a re
cent bulletin issued by TIE children's
bureau.
Scotland has for several years past
granted scholarships Cor bursarics)
from the public funds. England, too,
is recommending this method of pro-
yiding for the better education OF
her young.
In this country, up to now, schol-
arship funds have been made up
OF private contributions, privately
administered. Already a good many
communities have begun to realize
the importance Of salvaging the local
talent that might otherwise be per-
manently lost to the world through
complete lack of educational oppor-
tunity.
Results obtained in cities where
the scholarship plan has been tried
out, proves that the saving OF this
potential child power constitutes a
community investment that steadily
increases in value as the child grow
up and becomes 4 trained and ei-
licient worker.
Comparison OF the wages Of 81
children who had quit school at the
age OF II years to go to work
with the wages OF an equal number

ships were enabled to stay in school

Rambling Around
Political Ranges

House republicans are said to be
divided on the question OF an extra
session OF the sixty-siXth congress.
Some favor the proposition and
would be glad to see the call issued
for an early day in the spring. They
are influenced by two considera-
tions. First. the controversy about
the speakership. They think The
sooner that is settled the better ior
the party. Second, the more pressing
matters relating to reconstruction.
Those who oppose the proposition
for an extra session have no fears on
either score. They rather incline 20
the opinion that the nine months
between March and December
could be proiitably devoted to in
formal conferences about both the
SpeakerShip and reconstruction.
They conccde difficulties, but not
such as would grow with the delay.
1t is estimated by congressman
opposed to nationwide prohibition
that it will cost the government
more than $2O,O0O,0O0 annually to
enforce the bone dry" laws on
wet communities which are un-
sympathetic with such legislation.
In the opinion Of the commissioner
OF internal revenue a larger force
of revenue officers than are now in
the service will be necessary, and it
is believed by experts in the enforce
ment OF prohibition laws in wet
territory that it mill take more than
100000 men to keep within decent
bounds the moonshiners, blind pigs,
blind tigers and bootleggers. This
is based on the assumption that
there are 100000 families in the
United States who will ilicitly
manufacture liquor il they can es-
cape detection.
