BETTER TIMES IN EUROPE

Encouraging news comes from Eu-
rope of the gradual recovery Of the
allied countries from the damage
caused by the war. According to Of
ficial announcement Great Britain
during the last two years has succeed
ed in reducing her external debt by
nearly a billion dollars. During the
past year she has paid about $780,
100000 to the United States alone, or
almost a million dollars day. Dur
ing the fiscal year her income exceed
ed her expenditures by $l,lOO,OOO,OOO.
This showing is all the more remark
able in that there has been a gradual
reduction of taxation. A long step
forward has been taken in the remov-
al of the excess profits tax. Numer-
GUS practical economies have enabled
the British government to tighten the
burden Of the taxpayer and yet in
crease the net income.
Turning to France, we find gen
eral spirit Of financial optimism pre-
vailing based on internal conditions
as much as on hopes Of recompense
from Germany. The public recently
subscribed 1,2OO,000,OOO francs to
bond issues of mining companies in
northern France. The money is to be
used for reconstructive purposes, as
were previous bond issues that were
also literally supported. According
to the minister of finance, the French
people have an annual investing ca
pacity of 1O,GOO,OOO,OOO francs.
Astonishing as these figures seem,
they are not incrediblae when one
remembers the traditional thrift of
the French that has been so signally
manifested on many occasions. In
February, last, France for the first
time in seven years enjoyed foreign
trade balance in its favor. France is
iindeed on the high road to prosperity,
but that does not excuse Germany
from paying to the limit for the dam
age she wrought her invaded neigh
Dor.

DRESS UNIFORMS RESTORED.

Secretary Denby's order directing
that the navy dress uniform, which
has not been in use for a number of
years, shall again be worn on certain
occasions, is interesting as an indica-
ton that We are rapidly leaving war
conditions behind US. The dress uni
form is composed of frock coat, full
dress trousers, cooked hat, dress
sword, sword belt and epaulets, and
was, of course, out Of place when fight
ing was in order. Whether it should
be worn in time of peace in a ques-
ton which has caused heated debate
both in the United States and abroad.
Brilliant red uniforms are again being
used in the British army, which wore
khaki exclusively during the war.
When these fIambuoyant costumes
were attacked in the house Of COM
mons they were defended on the
ground that they were necessary as
a means Of attracting men to the army.
Probably no such motive underIies
the restoration Of the dress uniform
in our navy. But men are not alto

NON-UNION HONEYNO0NING.

Has Samuel Gompers had q nom
union honeymoon? The Detroit Fed
GRAFTON of Labor suspects as much
It's members have looked for the I'M
ion label and have failed to find it..
They charge that the president of the
American Federation Of Labor spent
the first two days of his honeymoon
at an open shop hotel. While there,
they say, he and his bride were serv-
ed with food by non-union walters.
More, the very food itself was pre-
pared by non-union cooks.
The Detroiters refuse to be placated
by the consoling thought that bride
groom is oblivious of all but his bride;
that each honeymoon means a world
recreated for two alone, and that the
only kind of a union that really counts
with young love is the parsons kind
No, they are inclined to believe all
that is mushy sentiment. They think
Mr.. Gompers should have torn him
self from the side of his bride at
least long enough to look up a closed
shop hotel; that conjugal affection is
all very well, but a union button on
a waiter or cook is much better.

on the part of the United States to
hold aloof from participation in af
fairs that affect the rest of the world
is made palmer every day. Like the
ostrich which hides its head in the
sand and fancies it is safe from being
disturbed, some of our statesmen hug
the delusion that Americas position
on the globe is such that we can af-
ford to play a lone hand. But in
many and divers ways we are contin-
ually having our attention directed
to the fact that Americans are pres
ent and American interests are rep
resented in every quarter of the earth,
and that nothing can occur in any
land, effecting the welfare of the in
habitants, that will not directly or
indirectly affect the welfare of some
of our own people.
