From III Springfield Republican.
For Major General Wood to change
into civilian clothes for the next two
months, as some of his astute political
managers advise, so as to minimize the
charge of militarism before his western
audiences, might not help him particu-
larly. The very absence of his uniform
would now be conspicuous n would
arouse comment. When people go to
see a real general they like to see him
in uniform; they rather resent having
him paraded in unheroic civilian attire.
When Mr.. Bryan in Spanish war days
appeared In public in the militaristic
habiliments of a colonel, the people
laughed; they could never take the uni
form of William Jennings Bryan seri-
ously. Blu General Wood presents a
different case. He has been a profess
sional soldier and nothing else for about
IS years, and he n dissociate him
self from his past If he tries.
III general is showing the right sort
Of courage regarding the issue Of uni
versal compulsory military training for
all the youth OF the land Out in the,
northwest he tells his audiences: II
stand for universal military trainings"
1t is we'll for candidates to stand for
something, and that is h General
Wood stands for. More and more he
Dersonifies this issue before the Ameri-
can people and he will %personify 1t
all the better If he continues to wear
khaki-puttees and all-on the stump.

Rrftain's Liquor BiH.

From the Minneapolis Tribune,
In the house Of Sir Donald,
MacLean made the statement that the
British expenditures for drink in 1918;
rose to G259, 900, 900 and that the
estimated expenditures for the same.
purpose for the year ending March 81
next is s40o, 900. 600. In terms of
normal exchange this last sum means
approximately 81, 500, 600. 900.
A distinguished English financier has
been in this country to induce the ex-
tension of vast credits to European
countries, including Great Britain, as an
aid to reconstruction and as q means
of bringing the world back toward nor
NAL conditions of trade. exchange and
living.
Just before he retired from the secre-
taryship of the treasury Carter Glass
expressed the official opinion that too
many demands were being made by
for credits. File as much as said these
countries could go far, if not all the
way. in extending themselves from "A
serious financial and economic predica-
ment if they would only get down in
earnest to work, live thrifty and do
their level best at homemade recon
struction efforts.
This enormous. British drink bill il
one of the things that tends to chill
American disposition to grant credits. If
hat 81, 920, 600. 600 had been spent for nee.
essaries instead of for stuff that does
vastly more harm than good, Great Brit
ain would be considerably better off to-
day than she is. What is true of this
particular is true in lesser degree Of
some other European countries.

DEkAY GIRL WAS BORN
AT WHITE LAKE, S. D.

White Lake, S. D., April l2-South
Dakota friends Of John Wesley De-
Kay. father Of Jeanne DeKay, whose
body was washed up by the waves Of
lake Michigan near Municipal pier in
Chicago on Easter Sunday, have dis
played great interest in the unsusual
case of the girls disappearance.
Jeanne DeKay, who disappeared on
December 80. was born at White
Lake, s. D., where her father edited
a newspaper in this state. After leay-
ing South Dakota he secured q fort
une in Mexico through a sensational
meat packing scheme. The swift
changes in the government there,
however, soon made 1t unsafe for him
to remain in Mexico and he went to
France. where he was arrested during
the war for an alleged munition plot
against Belgium, and but recently re-
leased.
It is thought by relatives of Miss
DeKay that her suicide resulted from
dependency because Of her fathers
disgrace and from grief because Of
the death Of her mother a short time
ago.
