Any educator harboring this sentiment is out of place in an American school. Tf our schools have ceased to be tl»e cradle ot liberty and patriotism, it were better their doors were closed forever.
TOO LATE.
President Wilson intimates to Germany that she has chosen the wrong time to talk peace. He says the right time would hare been about seventeen months ago when this nation was demanding reparation for the dozen or mors American ships sunk and the thousand or more lives lost thereby. The right time for Germany to have talked peace was before this n&tion made up its mind to "use force to the utmost" to make American lives safe anywhere In the world and American ships safe anywhere on the high seas. The president and every citizen knows we have work ahead of ns, before we can talk peace.
N^fmtar«mr eotM be made than to assume that the German army, beesase of fts recent defeats and its long retreat, has become either demoralized or hopelessly disorganized. Admittedly the morale of a retreating army is inferior to that of an army accustomed to victory. Admittedly the long retreat has somewhat confused and disorganized the German military units. But no German army was captured. The German line was not broken. And It is the testimony of all the alTies that the Germans are still full of fight
The German machine Is not smashed. The German soldier, long accustomed to implicit obedience aad to Wind fSJrth in the destiny of the vaterland, is stlTl ready to light for every yard of ground. There are exceptions. The young boys who are coming In to fill the gaps are not ideal soldiers. Some of the racial elements of the German armies are lacking in enthusiasm. But the backbone of the mighty Han system has not been broken. The fabrio patiently built during flfty years of specialized effort is not failing to pieces.
These facts must be understood by the peoples of the allied nations as they are understood by the governments. and by the commanders in the field. There must be no slackening of national effort, no feeling of confidence that the tight is won What has been done is but the beginning. It is a long, long march to the Rhine, and between St Quentin and Berlin stretch hundreds of miles which must be bitterly contested.
DOPE HABIT.
Citizens here were shocked some weeks ago by the arrest of thirty or more dope traffickers and dope users and several similar cases have since been revealed. The reappearance of the habit not only here, but generally is attracting public attention.
The investigation Just closed by the treasury department of the habitual use of narcotics in this country shows that the Harrison drng act has not sufficed to stamp out the Illicit trade in morphine, cocaine and like drugs. In Missouri, which appears to be about an average state, physicians have re-

ported more than 3,000 addicts who have taken treatment for the habit This implies that there are several times that many in the state. New York City alone reported more than 8,000, a number which represents only a small fraction of the real total. How seriously the drug habit affects the country is illustrated in the experience of army camps, where thousands of recruits have been discharged as useless because of it
All of this Implies that there is an active, organized trade in habit-form-ing drugs. For manifest reasons the drug venders are difficult to reach directly.- They can carry their whole stock in trade in a pocket
The point of attack is, therefore* through producers and distributors. The treasury department has recommended the passage of a new anti-nar-cotic law to establish greater control of manufacturing and to reach the insidious distribution of narcotics in compounds that pass as medicine, but are made and sold simply because one of their constituents meets tbe demand of a habit-forming drag. So fSras the army is concerned the alcatel habit Is, to ail intents and put poses, under control. The drug habit should b* as firmly repressed.
MESSAGE TO WOMEN.
Lloyd George recently sent a stirring message to the Inter-Allied Women's Congress at Paris. In his following words there is a splendid summary of woman's war work and a bright hope for the future: "In the past I have heard It said that women were unfit to voe -because they would be weak wben it came to understanding the Issues and bearing the strains of a great wax. My epepertence in South Wales has confirmed me in the belief that the women understand perfectly what is at stake in this war. "To them this war is a crusade of righteousness and gentleness, and they do not mean to make peace until the allies have made it impossible for another carnival of violence to befall mankind. I am certain that this resolution of the women of Sooth Wales is but typical of the spirit of the women of the rest of Great Britain."
The tribute paid by this experienced statesman, voices the general opinion that women barve brought no lees spirit and sacrifice to the war than have their men.
What is true of Great Britain, is true in a more or less measure of every country. Women are playing their part ably and devotedly.
This recognition of woman's efforts, successes and undeveloped possibilities is one of the greatest advances of the war. Circumstances have brought to women what long years of striving could not gain.
In the light of the present who can doubt that woman's voice will be heard most effectively when the approaching councils pass on matters «f international concern?
THE SQUARE DEAL.
President Wilson has issued a statement in which he says he deplores any labor strikes at this time, and too, he today warns large employers that he wants them to reinstate such strikers as are out and give them a chance to conform to his ideas of how labor should "do its bit."
Work or fight. President Wilson tells striking war workers at Bridgeport, Conn. The message is significant. It is, doubtless, intended for a much wider circle of readers than comprised the Bridge,ort group.
The nation cannot afford to permit personal interests to jeopardise its success in the war. Congress has provided ampl| machinery for meeting and settling in an amicable manner any Industrial disputes that may arise. It is the part of good Americanism to abide by the decisions of the federal board established for such emergencies. It. is something less than good Americanism to adopt the attitude taken by the Bridgeport strikers.
War production must not be slowed trpt Whether the offender be employer or employe, he will not be permitted to check the neoessary processes of industry in order to enforce his own persona 1 advanta^re. The interests of the

The planets presage tremendous undertakings of international importance. Co-operation on a wholesale scale is Indicated by the stars.

positive action, wise diplomacy and fearless policies. Great and humble ambitions should be equally favored today and there is a sign tha-t seems to forecast a similarity in aim toward the good of alL
When the stars are posited as they are today it is most unlucky to turn aw&y from the definite, practical things of life to Indulge in romance or to pursue purely artfcrtfc work, which should wait on other rules of the planets.
Venus !s t» a place tfcst is read to warn women that on them is a supreme responsibility in keeping up the moral standards of the world and to those who ignore the highest laws of life severest penalties will be allotted. Punishment will come in the working out of the laws not made by man.

HEAVEN, ILL OR 1ME BY CHRISTMAS TIME
Terre Haute Soldier Writes Sprightly Letter Right Under the Boche Ckras.
Miss Bertha Cottom of liberty avenue has received an interesting letter from the French front. The slogan of the American boys there now is "Heaven. Hell or Home by Christmas,'* and the writer says It looks more like home. The letter follows:
Angnst SI. 191$. Re«t Camp, Frauoa.
Wear Bertha—We've just got off of en© of the -bn.slest fighting fronts along the whole line and it was there 1 received your letter. Answering It at that time was out of the question entirely. There was too much lighting going on too much filth, flies, "cooties," etc, to contend 'With to give the proper atmosphere for letter writing, i just had to wait till I got a breathing spell before I even tried to write to anyone. Now, Pm way back of the front and outside of regular army routine, i have nothing to do but rest, write letters, bathe, eat and sleeps i'm feeling quite myself again now, tbfmgh at the time 1 received your letter I was pretty law, believe me. 1 suppose yoa woeld like to know something about what I've been doing for the pa.*t month. Is it here now thinking baek and it makes me a very happy and proud soldier. To think that a feLlow was in the thickest in two of the greatest battles that have taken place since the battle of the Marne, is something that is big enough for anybody to boast about. We were In the Champagne battle and when our work of stopping the fifth German offensive was finished there, they banlcd us to Chateau-Thierry and we helped pnsh those puzzled Hun boys clear to the other eide of the Vesle river. I suppose you've rfad all about the atlied counter offensive in the newspapers, but since the papers did not mention any names of the soldiers engaged, I just though I'd surprise you and tell you that I was one. Now, What do you tliink of that lanky stiff that claims to be some kin to you and what do you think of this gang of Yankee soldiers you've got over here? Be.rtha, I've seen "beaueonp" fighting since Pve been in France and I believe I'm not boasting or.e bit when I say that the Yankee soldier can't be beat when it comes to square, up-and-at 'em fighting. The booche don't K.now how to take 'em. They think they ought to be an untrained. yWlow bunch of boys and they simply can't navy the way' they go over the top with a bloodcurdling yell and meet the booche half way. The slogan over here is "Heaven, Hell, or Home by Christmas" and it looks a whole lot like home from the way things are progressing.
I've seen more terrible thing© aad the description of them wouldn't look very good on this paper. I've seen war, and I seen it at its worst. I've lived in filth gone without a bath for a month: ducked shells till I rlreamed about 'em in my sleep, and have had several narrow escapes. I've slept in everything from a pig-sty and a chicken house to the best room in a ruined chatcau. I've slept for mora than two weeks in my clothes. Couldn't
