WAR AND LLOYD GEORGE. Lloyd George, a Pitt in action if not in years, has said nothing but what th 9 world expected him to say. His remarkable sense of word values is brought out in the great speech he made in parliament yesterday. England's" 'premier calls the present war "swashbuckling through the streets of Europe." If a more dramatic description of the war could have been jammed in any other six words, we would like to see them. There will be no peace for the present. The dead Kitchener's statement, made when the war broke out and laughed at by the nit-wits, that the war would at least last three years, will be verified as a prophecy unparalleled In history. The unthinking say that Germany is at the zenith of her power. We do not believe it. Germany can still go farther. The unthinking say that ihe allies are spent- We do not so think. The allies are prepared to go a Irma war vet.

Neither Germany nor the allies will ever quit where they are now. J Tr,iwna t stm ti 1m further scattered in precious blood. Questions remain j

unsettled. Peoples remain unconquered. ambitions remain unfilled. War has. crumpled up the map of Europe, but it has not yet smashed it. As a passing thought, what a magnificent newspaper reporter lie would have made!

control of everything else including American mails; it can do the world a favor by naming a pronunciation dictator. ' There are too many authorized ways to pronounce words. In these parts the word alderman had been pronounced in the usual way until Mr. Wirt, our enterprising schoolmaster, came back from one of his monthly trips to New York, where he is teaching the natives how to run their Bchools. Mr. Wirt now refers to the al-dermen (the "al" being pronounced just like the "Al" when you refer to "Al" Smith or "Al" Brown). , Then there's the word diplomat. In our uncouth way we had been uttering it as per usual until his senatorial excellency, the lion. John W. Kern, in a campaign speech introduced the Washington drawing-room style "dye-

Take the word national ("nashunai," the usual way), but which the Hon. Tom Knotts, who recently appeared as a lecturer at Valparaiso university, the word is "nayshunal" as is "pat-ree-ott" Instead of "pay-tree-ott" (for patriot). Some can't agree on Gary. In consequence we have "Garie," "Gair-ree" and last, but not least, the foreign steel-workers way "Indiana Gairi." (We are as phonetic as we feel.) Municipal has its shades of accent, too. When Edward Dunne was mayor of Chicago and advocating municipal ownership there, he referred to "mune-ee-cipal," whereas his fellow orators rendered "mu-niss-Ipal" and "mune-isspal." We have our folks who give us plain either and neither cye-ther and nye-ther and aither and naither just as we do those who lend the softer tinge to dance, aunt and can't, and so say dawnse, ont and cawnt Perhaps no more cheerful iconoclast when it comes to pronouncmwords exists than Edgar D. Crumpacker, long congressman from this district and as skillful a talker as ever served In the house. He gets along charmingly. Pronunciation has become a matter of choice, it seems, so give it your version and defy stupid custom and disagreeing lexiographers. You may set a new fashion.

One had to his credit a 360-acre Montana wheat farm winch" he had homesteaded, which he conservatively estimates is worth $12,000.

cranemen, too, but they are by far a better rarmer ana a proiossionai man. Their greatest happiness is in their work. There are hundreds and hundreds of "good cranemen" in Hammond and in every city. The new Hammond plan aims to eliminate the misfits. If the plan In formation materializes, Hammond will do something that ha3 never been done before in this country.

A HOPED-FOR CABINET CHANGE. While the reported return of Secretary Baker to private life regardless of the outcome of the presidential election is not assured, the rumor, ai given out by his Cleveland friends, that he intends to do so, has a hopeful sound. " Secretary Baker possesses no more qualification for the office conferred upon him than Mr. Bryan possessed as Secretary of State, and the Honorable Josephus a3 head of tlje Navy. In a public statement upon taking up his duties at the head of the War Department, Mr. Baker confessed his unfamiliarity with the duties required of him, but expressed the hope that he would leara them. His appointment was one of those personal political ones with which the president has distinguished his administration. Mr. Baker was a close friend, and he had been a successful official in Cleveland, his home town. He does not appear to have taken any large part in national affairs. But the president, presumably eager to swing Mr. Baker's Democratic friends in a doubtful state into line for his own personal support, turned over to this novice one of the most important portfolios within his power to give. T7ie result has been a failure, as far as the public service is concerned Mr. Baker

has abused our ragged, half-frozen and starved patriot soldiers at Valley Forge in order to help the president out of his disgraceful Mexican muddle, has .participated as one of the chief movers In the sending of our Guardsmen to the Mexican border when there was no need for it, and gave currency Just before electron to a weird yarn that the Mexicans were about to attack us. The ex-mayor of Cleveland has been a misfit at Washington Providence Journal.

STEEP EMBANKMENTS. An exchange points out the number of accidents that occur when cars turn turtle, steep embankments contributing to a greater casualty list. Stou rails are suggested as a protection where the sides of the road are steep.
