None Can Escape From Work.

All who, amount to anything, rich or poor.
have to work. and work hard. 1t requires just
as much effort for the child of millionaire to
go through school and get ready for life as it
does for the child of the poorest parents in the
neghborhood Idle people perish. Those who
work at wholesome and useful tasks survive.
1t is true that farming is hard work, but
the farmer has no monopoly OF this privilege
or punishment. The farm boy girl who goes
to the city with the hope of escaping the
cessty of working hard is certain TO meet with
disappointment failure, Work hours in the
city-are actually longer than on the farm; the
work days in the year are more numerous and
the reward on the average is less.
1t is not the amount Of work any OF us do
that Is painful it is the fact that we look on
our tasks as toiisofne. 1t is drudgery that
kills. We should endeavor. therefore to drive
drudgery out of our lives rather than attempt
the impossible task of escaping from work and
responsibility.

Need of a Military Force.

Secretary OF War Weeks says the United
States must retain indefinitely effective and
well-trained army The retention of such
force is necessary in the United States, as in
every other country, Mr. Weeks holds. to pre-
vent civilization from reverting to barbarism,
and TO preserve for society the fruit Of the Ia
Dor of the many generations that have gone
before. History provides numerous instances
of the restraining influence of military
force upon the organized underworld that al
ways stands ready to replace with chaos the
reign of law and order. The pax remana was
no mere Pigment of the Roman imperialist's
imagination, but for centuries was one of the
most powerful instrumentalities of progress.
Whenever Rome withdrew her legions man
turned against man and community against
community.
The Dark Ages owe their sombre colors
largely to the fact that throughout the greater
part OF Europe there restraining force

church, and the Catholic church could only
make it's influence felt in indirect ways, and
therefore imperfectly. The Soudan, under the
rule of the Mahdi, a land of devastation
and darkness in which mans life prop

Kitchener it came again into the pale of civili-

of few British battalions the Soudan has be

ippines provide a more pertinent case in point.
Our forces in these islands, from the time
took the Philippines over from Spain, have al
ways acted the standard bearers of civiliza-
ton and enlightenment Without the backing
of American soldiers the civil administration
would have been severely, if not fatally handi-
capped in its work.
In the United States the danger has always
been in small rather than excessive armament.
Our army has never been or can it ever be a
Praetorian guard, threatening the liberties Of
the people If certain members of congress
and other individuals, however, were to have
their way our military force would be too small
to hold in check the organized underworld.

Points of contact must be established among

can find and follow the middle road between
the old conservative secrecy and the radical
demand that all discussions be held in the

sound thinking on the part of leaders and must
be something better than a meaningless reflec-
ton of prejudces, discordant impressions and
vague theories. 1t may be argued that a man
will think better if the public is following the
development of his ideas and the formation of
his judgments. But this is an impossible and
unreasonable demand. man is more likely
to do his best thinking when the public is un-
aware Of all the details he considers, but ex-
poets him to formulate judgment that will be

1t was not so long ago that we had a siren
nous reaction against secret diplomacy. 1t
pleased the masses to hear diplomats advocate
open discussion. Now We are entering the re-
action. Secretary Hughes has put his foot
down on too much open diplomacy and says
absolutely necessary. Twenty-Five nations
have sent representatives TO The Hague to dis
euss further questions pertaining, to world
peace. The representatives have excluded
newspaper men from the sessions and even at
tempted to exclude the news men from the
grounds.
Children who hear their parents discussing
differences will not accept the final agreement
OF the parents unless they are mighty good and
rare children, because they are aware of the
particular attitudego of each parent on the

No Lack of Foreign Policy.

1t is difficult to imagine what Lady Astor
hopes to gain either for herself for good feel
! ing among nations by sighting remarks con-
corning the United States On her return to
England after a visit to her native land, she
delivered address in which she said among
other things, that America is bound to have
a foreign policy. The statement means if it
means anything at all, that America today
has no foreign policy. We deny the assump-
| ton that the United States has no foreign pol
icy. 1t is true that the United States has no
| policy of foreign aggression-no desire to sub
jugate weak nations take undue advantage
of our strength. But because We are neither
aggressive and graspng, nor as yielding as
some would like to have US, it does not follow
that the United States has no foreign policy
at all.
The foreign policy Of the United States has
been of live and let live We have undertaken
to maintain here nation in which the people
may enjoy the greatest individual freedom
consistent with due respect for the rights of
others, and we are willing that similar privi-
leges shall be maintained in every other land
When that policy of helping others to live and
enjoy freedom brought into conflict with
SPAIN and gave US domination over former
Spanish possessions did not use that adj
vantage for our material ACKNOWLEDGMENT but
solely for the well-being and happiness of the
peoples who had come under our control Never
has it been charged that the United States has
been oppressor.
Our foreign policy has been to increase
friendship among nations and to settle differ
ences by conference, arbitration or adjudica-
ton. rather than by force of arms, but we have
never yielded our right<to control our own do
mestic affairs made ourselves subject to a
superstate. We have settled boundary disputes
by arbitration and have induced other nations
TO do the same We have been prompt and
liberal in response to the cry of distress, from
whatever land it has come, but we have no;
let our sympathies betray US into entangle-
ments with national dishonor. Though Lady
Astor, possibly because Of prejudice growing
out of her present British citizenship. may
think we have no foreign policy, and that we
shall have none until it accords with what Brit
ain thinks our policy should be- we beg respect
fully to assert that we have foreign policies as
honorable. definite, and as permanent as
those Of any other nation. We challenge her
to state any British policies that are superior To
those of the United States.

Deutschland to the Junk Heap.

81 For several weeks the Deutschland was the
most famous sea craft in the world. Today it
IS on the way TO the junk heap. Twice during
the war the Deutschland crossed the Atlantic
with valuable cargoes, setting new records for
under sea navigation, but now the creditors of
her owner, who got her from the British gov
eminent, are pressing for their money and
titled to their cash, but it seems too bad after
