In the Matter of Presents.

An invoice of presents received from foreign
rulers by the president and his wife while
abroad has been prepared by Secretary Tu-
multy. The average observer will be struck
by the apparent insignifcance of the objects.
No mention is made of other gifts than those
received from royalty. 1t is unthinkable that
a president of the United States should be
swayed in his judgment or acts by memento
from the head of another state. Yet the trainers
of the constitution having in mind the posi-
bilty rather than the probability, did forbid the
acceptance of any gifts of the sort, except with
consent of congress. This may touch the point
squarely Mr.. Wilson has been very loath to
request the consent of congress to anything he
felt he might do without it, and the accumula-
ton of souvenirs perhaps comes under this head

ODD AND INTERESTING.

The great majority of the national
flags are tricolors, but a few, like
Japan and Switzerland, are content
with two colors.
In Russia certain peasant cos
tunes are trimmed with the skins
of the turbot, and in Egypt men
wear sandals made from the skins
Of fish caught in the Red sea.
During their ceremonial dances
the natives of Papua, New Guinea,
wear probably the tallest hats in the
world-a headdress varying from
six to eight feet in height and most
gorgeous in coloring.
Because cells migrate only in the
dark, the Danish government pre-
vents them from leaving the Baltic
sea for the ocean by suspending a
line of electric lamps from a cable
in the strait they frequent.
Queer uses are made of the in
testines of the walrus and the sea
lion. The Eskimos make the for
mer into sails for their boats, and
the latter they slit and stitch to-
gether to form hooded coats that
are far superior to rubber as wa
terproof garments.
Pearl fishers on the coast of
Ceylon find the X-rays Of great
service. By their application it is
possible to distinguish. without
opening the shells, the valuable oys-
tiers from those that are without
pearls. The latter are thrown back

is at an end Wonderful as were the mobiliza-

experts of Germany pronounced Impossible, the
return has been quite as noteworthy
During our 10 months of war we sent more
than 100000 troops overseas. OF these, soo,-
600 went in the first Is months and l,5O0O0O IN
the last six months. The armistice was pro-
claimed on November H. last, almost II months
ago. but the troop movement homeward did not
begin in large numbers until December. In July,
1918, 100000 men were landed in Europe In
Nav this year $4,000 returned, these being the
banner months While British transports car
ried nearly one-half of our soldiers eastward the
transfer westward was accomplished by our own
ships or those taken over from the enemy. IN
addition to the millions who served abroad,
considerably more than million OF men were

The Mon Who Saved HIS Soul

There was cartoon in London Punch early
in the war, than which none more truthful or
impressive has been produced during all the
great struggle. 1t pictured the king of the
Belgians standing amid his ravished and des-
olated country, confronted by the insolent and
triumphant German kaiser, who reproached him
for his folly in not breaking his faith and letting
the Huns use his land as base of attack upon
France and England
$50, you see, you've lost everything"
BUT NOT MY SOULp
1t was only the fancy of facile artist;
but it was the very truth of everlasting his
tory. By his refusal of the German demand,
King Albert brought upon himself and upon his
country such woe and tragedy as no other SOW
ereign and nation have ever known. But he
saved his integrity, his sef-respect, his honor;
in word, his soul. Saving his own soul, he
saved the soul of Belgium Saving the soul of
Belgium, he saved the soul of Europe, of the
world. 1t is an old story though because Of its
truth it must never grow outworn, that through
the stubborn self-sacrifce of Liege the Huns
were checked just long enough to give France
time to meet them; that the first leves of France
and England's contemplate little army" in
turn checked them just long enough to give
both those countries time to rally all their
strength; and that finally those countries at
awful cost held the line of civilization against
barbarism just long enough to give slothful and
dilatory America time to awake to her duty
and to hurl her determining weight into the scale
mensurately true that the inefabe moral and
spiritual uplift which reused humanity against
the beast, had its initial impulse in King Alberts
heroic decision to save his soul, though he
should lose all the world.
We have welcomed home our own returning
heroes and their gallant chief. We have well
coined the prncely priest who proved to the
world that the spirit of Elijah at Carmel and
of Paul at Ephesus still lived and triumphed.
And they were worthy of all that an apprecia-
tive people could offer them. But no warmth
of banners and blaring of massed bands, no
noisy acclaim Of mutitudinous tongues nor
silent tribute Of grateful hearts, can be too
great for the desserts of this later guest who
now revisits these shores. Not only King
but also Man, the sternest democrat will
honor himself by honorng him; and the Red,
White and Blue of America will win new lustre

High Cost of Living.

A report just issued by the national council
Of defense tells US the high cost Of living is
due to the fact that we do not produce enough
and waste too much. 1t also sets out that
there has been and is considerable prohteering,
intentional and unintertional." All of this will
be of immense value to the sa1aried man who is
trying to make one dollar do the work of two
in getting ready for the long hard winter. His
heart of course, will 60 out to the unnten-
tional prohteer, poor man. who is skinning
somebody else and doesn't realize it! The
remedy suggested may have been copied from
any one of thousand newspaper editorials. 1t
is produce more consume less, and wait till the
tide goes down. The report may or may not
be in redemption Of the Baltimore PLATFORM of
1912, but it reads like the promises and pledges
then made.
