 IN THE BEST SHAPE

 aSter.

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Admiral Jelli- COG, former commander of the Grand Fleet, in a book just off the press reviews the Naval activities of the first two years of the war.

 He says the lesson taught is that England must have, in the future, greater margin of superiority over all possible enemy fleets in all class es of vessels, than she had in Aug ust, 1914, in the battle of Jutland.
 The Admiral says the British es- capped torpedoes by turning the battle line four times, despite thick weath- CT. and attacking the Germans on every possible occasion.
 During the last year he says the British were we'll prepared for any kind of a naval battle.

From Monte E. Kane.

The following letter dated December rs, 1918,
from Dearborn, Germany, was received by Mrs
Ida Kane from her son Monte.
Received your most kind and welcome
letter that was so long looked for. 1t is
the first mail I have had for = weeks.
I got my Xmas box today and it GER
tainly did go good. The ground is
white with snow and pretty cold too.
We are at our stopping place now
about 90 miles from CoblenZ. You
have heard of that place on the River
Rhine.
Well mother l think you are going to
be disappointed for won't be home for
New Years. / will do good if [ get
home for the 4th of July.
They have the flu over here awful
bad 1t don't take long to stop breath
ing in this country. When it isn't
bullets to dodge it's something else.
[ have learned more in II months
than [ learned in II years before and
wouldn't take a good lot for my exper-
fence. There sure was a lot that lost
their lives but they did it for good and
just cause.

VOTES FOR WOMEN DOMESTIC
Wilson Tells Delegation Conference
Too UnwieIdy to Hope
for Much.

Paris, Jan. 27.-Addressing a delega-
ton of working women of France at
the Murat mansion, President Wilson
said in part:
mile. Thomson and Ladies':
''You have not only done me a great
honor but you have touched me very
much by this unexpected tribute, and
may I add that you have frightened
me because, realizing the great con-
fidence you place in me, [ am led to
question my own ability to justify that
confidence.
'You have not placed your confidence
wrongly in my hopes and purposes,
but perhaps not all Of these hopes
and purposes can be realized in the
great matter tha1you have SO much
at heart-the right of women to take
their full share in the political life
of the nations to which they belong.
'"That is necessarily a domestic
question for the several nations. A
conference of peace settling the rela-
tons Of nations with each other Would
be regarded as going very much out
side its province if it undertook to
dictate to the several states what their
internal policy should be-"

The Power of the Floor Leader

Editor Roethe in The Fennimore
Times: A lot of people here foolishly
imagined that President Wilson would
act as president of the peace congress
of Europe. That he is not president of
the congress, ought to be, not source
of disappointment, hut of qualification,
He will be far more influential on the
floor of the congress, where he can talk
and present his views. than in the pres
ident's chair, where the duties are
merely to preside. A presiding officer,
by virtue of bis position, is practically
barred from taking part in the discus
sons, in other words, is merely more
or less of a fgurehead. AS a ''foor
leader President Wilson will dominate
the congress, and not be mere figure
head.
