Germany has been housekeeping
ever since she heard General Dawes

She has no navy at all. These points

The German budget provides for no

HOMAGE THAT is DUE

En- President Wilson's wish fo, pri-
vate funeral services are properly re-
spected, Under the circumstances 1t
was but natural he should desire
pomp and pagontry to be absent on
this occasion. He knew the hollow
ness of these manifestations. His life
had been sufficiently at the service Of
publicity: there was no obligation
under which his death should also be
an occasion for like service. Yet in
a sense. the occasion 10 public. The
presence or absence of all the tram
pings OF woe. all the recognition Of
otfic!aldom. all the marks of distinc-
ton. appealing to the eye and the ear
OF public curiosity. will nowise affect
the appeal to the public heart and
conscience.
On this day OF the rites attending
the burial. there should be none in
this land who may not properly and
probably pay respect, as did Senator
Lodge in the Senate. Monday. 1t be-
AAAS Aets ~ SpCdn oh OC-
caslon and the recognition he ex-
pressed none may regard as more
than the Difference due from the AM
erican people:
In sympathy and sorrow and with
every mark Of homage we stand with
bowed heads in solemn recognition Of
this event, at once sad and momen-
tous, which has thus come upon us
ir the wisdom Of the overruling pro-
violence that guides the desunies Of
mankind. In common with all the
people OF this country we have felt q
very deep sympathy for the suffer-
tngs of President Wilson during his
tong illness, which he has borne
without complaint and with so much
tortitude.
MIR. Wilson was q man Of remark
able ability. and Of strong character.
Through laborious years Of thought
and study he devoted himself to Sc
curing a mastery of the historical
subjects. the economic questions, and
the theory and science of politics and
government which commanded his
especial interest. He rose to be
President of the ancient and honored
university OF which he was a gradu-
ate. From this high place in the
field of education. he turned to public
