Germany.

1t wants no surer proof that grim
visaged war has smoothed his wrinkled
front than glance in at the window of
any haberdashery shop. The clothing
dummy has been mustered out. That
grand figure whose papier-mache chest
sweled proudly under its neat khaki coat
and whose waist tapered trinity to the
pressure Of Sam Brown belt has laid
aside the trappings of Mars and is once
more attired in the habiliments of peace
All those little vanities dear to masculine
hearts have reappeared in increased
numbers or else their long absence
makes them doubly conspicuous. Where
once stood a militant figure with regula-
ton uniform coat buttoned tightly
around the throat is now to be seen an
elegant beau whose snowy eXpanse of
immaculate linen can be maintained in it's
unwrinked glory only when it covers a
calm and peaceful chest. Feet that were
prepared to slog through Flanders mud
in army brogans are incased in patent
pumps. and the businesslkc puttees have
been displaced by spats of delicate gray.
But. anyway, we learned that the cloth
ing store dummy was good patriot.

his recent utterances has been either mis-
chievous or foolish, or a mixture of both.

wilson IS straining every nerve to show
the Allies that the United States svmna-
thlzes with them and is anxious to have
them all adjust their interests to the COM
mon welfare and peace of the world. II is
unnecessary to speak more plainly. Every

The Secretary
of the Navy
From The Washinotcn Post)

'Hfon inc washington POst)
"ONGRESS and the people are again
puzzled and disturbed by the course
pursued by Mr. Daniels, Secretary Of
the Navy, in contradiction of the policy of
President Wilson and the advice of the
experts of the navy. Mr. Daniels's course
can hardly be dgnified as policy" as it
is inconsistent and changeable, but from
all that be learned from his most
recent utterances, the Secretary of the
Navy is embarking upon a course that I'M
less overruled will bring embarrassment to
the United States. With utter disregard of
the effect his action may have upon the
international situation, and with a sensa-
tionalism and boastfulness highly offensive
to the navy, Mr.. Daniels has outlined his
personal ideas to Congress. If he were suf-
fering from an acute attack of swelled head,
Mr.. Daniels could not have been more reck
less than when he recently told Congress
that he swept aside the advice of his ex
perts and acted solely upon his own intelli-
gence in planning for the extension of the
navy.
If Mr.. Daniels and his personal vanity
were the only factors in the situation, thew
could be dismissed without comment Every
one knows that whenever Mr.. Daniels
leaves the navy alone it is efficient, and that
whenever he intermediates with its opera
tions its inefficency is measured according
to the degree of that interference. At the
beginning of the war Mr.. Daniels attempted
to set aside the necessary procedure for the
efficient conduct of naval operations The
effect would have been disastrous. The
navy as a whole was compelled to act as if
there had been no Secretary; in other
words, the trained officers of the navy
necessarily conducted it's operations.
Whether President Wilson wisely put
stopper on Mr.. Danielss interference with
efficiency, whether Mr.. Daniels was mere
~ overwhelmed by the magnitude of events,
does not matter. The fact remains that
the United States Navy was gloriously eff
Gent during the war in spite of the Secre-
tary of the Navy.
Now that stern necessity does not drive.

The challenge of it's glad divinity
Break in silver surf against the stars

Across still waters when the winds asleep,
l heard the happy Dead's pale legions
throng,
Chanting of victory, as deep calls 10 deep
Out where Life's last sweet gate of love
unbars!
And knelt, and knew the world-heart kneel-

In dumb thanksgiving too profound for

Until with ecstasy it overlooked
And flung JOY, like red roses. on the air,
While Dawn trod out the scattered torch

The McAdoo Valedictory

We read that the retiring Director
General of Railroads was disappointed at
the failure of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee to comprehend at one
sitting his whole philosophy of what
ought to be done with the country's in
comparable transportation machine-be-
cause, as he explained, he twas planning
to leave Washington for good early next
week." And it was at length agreed that
he should give the committee one hour
more of his time.
For one year the government has been
running the railroads, with arbitrary
power to raise rates, which it did; to
raise wages, which it did, and to pool all
facilities, which it more or less did; and
all of this was necessary, and perhaps
very desirable, in war time. But the war
strain is over, and now the situation is
That the railroads are running at
loss so great that the owners cannot af-
ford to take them back as rates and
wages are.
That if the owners took them back and
the several states began to enforce the
legal rates the properties would be al
most generally bankrupt.
That the government, according to Mr..
McAdoo, cannot afford to continue the
experiment of Federal operation unless
it is given a period of five years in which
to work out the theories and suggestions
offered by him at large as kind of
vaedctory.
That there is nowhere any concrete
plan.
That there is nowhere any response
bility
That the greatest railroad system in
the world is without an official head.
What Mr.. McAdoo proposes is that for
five years there shall be unlimited Fed
eral operation of the railroads, with
everything in common among them, from
traffic to time tables, in order to demon
strate whether afterward we should
choose (a) government ownership and
operation, (b) private ownership and
operation as before the war, or (c) re-
constructed railroad map, with only
few big systems, privately owned but
closely regulated.
He does not say what will have hap
pened meanwhile to the business asset of
goodwill"
He does not say how several hundred
companies shall be reduced to his ideal
minimum of fifty
These are merely his ideas, kind of
officially posthumous contribution to the
literature of controversial subject. He
IS fairly definite in the opinion that COM
munistic railroad practice for five years
would lead to such economies as would
enable rates to be lowered. This is opin-
ION purely. There is not the faintest
evidence on which to base any hope of
more economical operation of the roads
by the government Mr.. McAdoo thinks
enthusiastically that the cost of materials
and supplies will fall. The concrete fact
is tnat the government now is working
the properties at a loss. The whole cues
tlon Is In a bog. And the only proposal
rom the government is put forward by
seering Director General whose time
aha responsibility are up. And that pro-
posai is: Let us either continue Federal
operation for five years or give the roads
back to their owners and LOT +ho,,

Happiness


T DON'T know why.
L. but I'm happy this morning.
Is it that heard through the streets of tAe
village
the voice of the letter carrier?
Opening the green window, have |
felt that the little swallows were born?
have | seen the empty shells over the side
walk?
Have listened to the little hog
grunting against the door of the pigsty
with joy, hearing my mother
who was crossing the yard
with pail of warm slop
calling him like child?
Have seen the wife of the cowherd
take out from the oven
rosy crosses of bread?
or the white oxen
coming back from the fields
with the red cart crammed full of grass?
or the pedler
in the yard
weighing out to an old farmer
cherries into his trembling SCALE
Has the knife grinder come
With his damp castle?
| am happy,
perhaps because there far away
the cuckoo
this gray gull
Of the dark green sea of hemp
asks himself questions and answers them;
because the spikes of the ripe wheat
are like blond tiny braids.
