THE WARRIOR.
A HEAVY
MEAL

The WARRIOR.
He'll discuss open warfare and
trenches and shells,
He's quite certain a fusacap is
brass.
And he knows that the boche bombed
our lines at Croiselles,
He's familiar with all kinds of gas.
He can talk about dugouts and billets
and camps,
And he knows how to carry a gun;
He will tell you the infantry signals
with lamps,
And he calls ev'ry German a Hun,
He'll explain what tres bon means and
mademoiselle,
Though he's not heard reveille and
taps;
Then ask, who won the WARP" This
man knows and he'll tell,
For he fought with books, pictures
and maps.

President Makes Concessions

dent Wilson, for the first time since he
left Washington on tour of the United
States to explain the peace treaty and
league of nations, really made concession
he was unwilling to before. He said he had
no objections to congress interpreting
clauses of the treaty, but he opposed quail
fications or conditions being inserted in it..
This may be taken as hopeful sign that
the president will give ground and thus
enable a ratification of document which
promises to divide opinion hopelessly in
this country.
The nation chief executive is emphasiz-
ing the point that America MUST ratify
the treaty. He argues that to do so will
prove the United States meant what it said
when it went to war against Germany to
safeguard the principles for which this
country stands. He predicts failure to do
SO will cause tragedy and an era of blood
and chaos. In his Tacoma address the
president gave some interesting data He
said that the deaths in the last world war
numbered 7,45O,000 and in all the other
wars, from 1893 to 1914, the total deaths
were but 100000 This is terrible toll.
The grand total cost of the war to all of the
powers involved is $1S6,OOO,OOO,OOO A
substitute for all this expenditure of life
and money, he said, is the covenant of the
league of nations.
Senator Johnson is taking issue with the
president at every step. In his st. Louis
address he asserted it is nonsense for the
president to talk of the rights of free peo-
pie, the rights Of self-determination and
similar principles, after he stood by and
permitted Japan to secure the heart of
China, Shantung, and make the Chinese
therein, Japanese subjects. He charged
the peace treaty to be the result of secret
treaties drawn before the United States
entered the war; that the other powers
made party to it, secured what they
wanted and the United States was left
holding the sack. When he spoke at In
dianapolis he asked his big audience
whether it was willing to have American
soldiers police the world and the reply was
a resounding "no" that shook the build
