NEWSPAPERS AND THE WAR
[Girard in the Philadelphia Press. ]

ever else through increased orders
due to war, had greatly increased
profits, the newspaper owner was not
one.
Comptroller Williams says the
$500 National banks of the United
States earned last year twelve per
cent on their combined capital and
surplus-a banner year.
The manufacturing industry beat
all former records. The Federal Re-
serve banks earned forty per cent
through the enormously increased
| business due to war.
But while the newspapers gave
hundreds of thousands of columns
space gratis for the work of sheer
war propaganda, and especially in
| boosting the sale of Liberty bonds,
there was no profit in the war for
journalism.
The costs of production far outran
any gains derived from a general
increase in the selling price of news
papers.
No other one institution, either
in England or America, gave any
thing like the proportion of the
| newspapers-its news pages-to pro-
mote patriotism and to pay for it
that the newspapers contributed.
! But, as Bill" whispered to his
millionaire chum in London, the re-
ward is more likely to be ten years
than a decoration.

Best English LoUe Story?
(From the London Expressly

(F'rom the London Express.) .
What is the greatest love story in
the world? OF course, IL one count
ed in plays the palm would go to
Romeo and Juliet" If one put in
episodes, most people would go to
the Bible or the classics and use the
story of Ruth or Dante's poignant
picture of Francesca do Rimini. But
let us rule these things out and stick
to books. and English ones at that.
What beats "The Cloister and the
Hearth?" One correspondent says
"Jane Eyre;' another Lorna
Doone." We vote for Pride and
Prejudice" It is the greatest and
most typical of English love stories,
because it does not pail one with one
of those tremendous passions which
almost exceed the bounds of sanity.
1t is the intensely human tale of a
love slowly developing through the
petty and formal Misunderstanding
which make UP life between two peo-
pie just as mortal as ourselves.

GERMANY WILL SIGN

~ ERMANY will continue to pro-
= test against the terms of the
peace treaty, but Germany will
sign. What else is there for her to
do? Join with Russia end go Boil

lings and diplomats who are in con-
troll of the German peace delegation
know it. All their interests lie in
the other direction. They are men
of property who would lose their
holdings if Lenine and his methods
are set up as models in Germany.
No, they will not turn Bolshevik
and they will sign-or starve, and it
is against the German nature to go
hungry if the wherewithal to fill the
stomach may be had.
Unquestionably, the treaty is a
bitter dose, but as Maximillian Har-
den, the noted German editor, says:
What else could you expect?" Un-
questionably, also, the German del
egates would like to get the allies

differences of opinion and an open
breach that in turn would rebound
to Germany's advantage. But the
allies are standing firm, and in the
end the Germans will sign, and hav-
ing signed they will have to pay.
The price of defeat is high, but the
stipulations of the treaty are mild
beside those the Kaiser planned to
impose if the Central Powers won.
Germany meant to rule the world
with an iron hand. America and all
other countries were to become Ger
man colonies. A German princeling
was to be regent of America Even
the name OF Washington was to be
Germanized. Beside these the terms
of the allies are generous in the ex-
treme.

POLICY on Military Training
slavens McNutt in Col
lier's Weekly.1

IWfil1am SlaVenS MCNuLL III W.
lier's Weekly.1
What, for example, is the will of
the army as to military training for
Americans in the future? Do they
want universal service? II so, What
form of it?
-Four million of our best young
men know the army from the inside.
Any policy adopted will apply to
their sons. And from the American
Legion, an organization of men who
know, we should certainly get the
proper expression of will on the
subject: the will, not of the officers
only, nor the enlisted men, but of
them all as a competent, represen-
tative body with the experience nee
essary for the formation of q ripe
judgment.
"It is to be a strictly nonpartisan
organization" Colonel Roosevelt
says of it. "It will not have poll
tics, but it will have policies"
1t will be interesting to learn what
the organizations policy as to mill
tary training will be. Whatever 1t
is, it surely should be authoritative.
Surely it's influence should be a
stiff opponent both to chin-whisk-
cred jingoism from within and even
less barbered Bolshevism from with
out. Two million two hundred
thousand of the men who will be
members of this organization know
Europe from at least some degree of
personal contact. They are not to
be further impressed by ostentatious
tail twisting and feather pulling.
Neither are they to be dazzled by the
label Made in Europe" on any So
cial theories advanced for their con-
sideration.

SILLY" INDEED

"HE New York World reprints
the following editorial from the
columns of the Harrisburg
Patriot and Union, November "a,
1868, characterizing President Lin
coins famous Gettysburg speech as
silly remarks:
The President succeeded on
this occasion because he acted
without sense and without con-
straint in a panorama that was
gotten up more for the benefit of
his party than for the glory of
the nation and the honor of the
dead. We pass over
the silly remarks of the Presi-
dent; for the credit of the ma
ton we are willing that the veil
of oblivion shall be dropped over
them and that they shall no more
be repeated or thought of.
Says the World, by way of com
ment:
This is not an extract from an
editorial in the New York Sun or
the sentiments quoted above
taken from any of the public ut
terances of Senator Poindexter or
Senator Sherman or Senator

editorial that was printed in the
Harrisburg Patriot and Union on
November "a, 1863, and have no
reference to Woodrow Wilson.
The President in question was
Abraham Lincoln. The Silly re-
marks" were the Gettysburg
speech.
OF, course, the purpose of tn
World is to compare President viii
son with Lincoln and to discourag
criticism of his actions in France
But President Wilson never uttered
Gettysburg speech. When he ha'
the opportunity to do so, upon tn
occasion of the great reunion o
the Blue and Gray on the battle
field few years ago. he failed s
miserably that nobody now remem

point to the remarks on Lincoln
address which the Harrisburg

AMERICAS PART

In rendering homage to Marshals
Foch and Petain we must not forget
the others who played a vital part
in the victory, Haig, Pershing, Diaz.
Allenby, and the French generals
who have so we'll represented the
traditions of France. I am not sure
that we should have had the victory
without the aid of the United States.
There were those who thought that
aid from across the Atlantic in the
form of foodstuffs and war material
was all we needed. But would ma
terial aid from America have suf-

Americans shortened the war and

JUSTICE TO PERSHING
[Harper's Weekly. :

1t would be an excellent thing if
every man and woman in America
would read and memorize the trib-
ute which Admiral Sims paid to
General Pershing the other day in
the course of a Victory Loan ad-
dress. 1t was as typical of Sims as
1t was fair to Pershing. Here it is:
Now just word about John
Pershing. He has had 10000
men over there. No one of those
men has been able to See one one
thousandeth part of the operation.
They run across a great many dis
agreeable things. They may have
been charged five cents too much in
canteen, or they may have run
across a Britisher or an Italian or
Frenchman that they had q row
with. They come back with all
sorts of small criticisms. For the
Lords sake don't pay any attention
to the people in this country that
are yapping at John Pershing's
heels.
mo military commander since
the world began has had to do the
stunt he has had to do. If he should
have done that without any mis-
takes he would be the greatest mill
itary commander the world has ever
heard of. He will tell you himself
he has made mistakes. So have I,
but am not going to tell you about
them"
OF course we do not know the pre-
else circumstances that caused Ad-
miral Sims to digress from the sub
ject of his address long enough to
makes these remarks. We assume,
however, that before he had been in
New York an hour his ears were
filed with some of the monstrous
stories that are being assiduously
circulated about the commander OF
the American forces abroad. and he
thought 1t was about time that the
public was warned against the scam

PLENTY OF THRILLS

OAYS the Kansas City Star, COM
menting upon the lack of at
~ tention with which the trans
Atlantic fight has been received by
the reading public: I'VE are coming
to be a jaded world. Are there no
thrills left at all?"
And we reply in the negative. We
are not faded, and there are thrills
aplenty.
We judge our friend, the author of
the Stars entertaining and entirely
human editorial column, must have
gone on vacation and left one of
the calIous young men who prepare
the police court copy for the paper
to write the editorials. 1t is the
observation of old newspapermen
that the new reporter seldom sees
any good in the world, and it is only
by long experience that he comes to
understand that the world is q really
a very good old world, that romance
waits around every corner, that nine
out of every ten little homes have
their own pretty little love stories,
that the milk of human kindness
flows freely in the veins of even the
meanest of US and that often it will
make its presence felt under the
most unexpected circumstances. And
by the same token the old and expe-
rienced newspaperman knows that
there are thrills aplenty in the
world; thrills the like of which the
best efforts of a star reporter, with
an exciting murder mystery as his
subject could not conjure up. But
of course, not all of them find their
way into print. There is, for ex-
ample, the thrill of mother or sweet
heart when she hears her beloved
has embarked for home after help
ing beat the Hun in France, the
thrill of the father in the honest,
level-eyed gaze of q sturdy son, the
thrill of lovers when they meet in
the cleaning, the thrill of patriot
ism in the boyish heart when the old
flag goes by, the thrill of the hunter
as he heads into the wilderness, the
thrill of the fisherman when The
trout strikes his fly, the thrill of the
school boy with vacation just ahead
oh, there are thrills, and thrills
thrills aplenty; only some of us have
hardened our hearts to them. ant

The East African Standard de-
scribes a duel between a motor car
and a lioness. The affair, it says,
happened at night near Nairobi. The
chauffeur noted a comnlotion in the
bush near the road, then the gleam-
ing eyes of an enraged wild animal.
He accelerated his speed at the in
slant the lioness 1eaped. She struck
the hood and was thrown far in ad-
vance of the car, whose wheels then
passed over her. The dead lioness
was finally loaded into the car and
taken back to the town in triumph.
