A JOY TO GIVE TO THEM. We ought to be glad-glad with full hearts that we can give to so splendid an institution as the Red Cross- We ought to be grateful-doublv grateful to think that we-left here at home away from all the fearful

scenes of battle can make it possible for the devoted women abroad to carry cn the coble work of easing pain and preparing for the day to come ail too soon when our wounded boys will need them. In the money that is pouring out to meet the demand of the American

counuees images, bometimes it is old shoes shoes so old that they let in the mud and water cf the trenches. The owners, coming in on stretchers

and in stockinged feet, guard them protectingly, thinking they must do duty again. How many processions there are, cf pale faces and old shoes! Sometimes an image that comes to one woman is a giant negro, John Erown from Texas, whom she found in a French hospital. John Brown had come over to France as a groom to several hundred cavalry horses- Arrived there, he said he thought "it was up to him to do his bit." He joined the French Legion, fought bravely, and was severely woundedVery often the image 13 of a patrician woman, wearing the Red Cross on her arm, performing the humblest service for other privates, carrying their poor shoes; for other dark people, sharing the agony of the figat the Cingalese. The Red Cross fiag( flying from the school-house that is now a hospital in the main street of the village that looks so sound asleep without its men; the emblem on the arm of a surgeon working miracles of science on shattered bodies; that red badge on the cases of relief supplies unloaded at the docks; cn the sides of the motor ambulances; over tie cantines where homeless soldiers may sleep; over this shelter for children the sign multiplies into a myriad banners. The Red Crosses are there and will be there in greater numbers, because little children have emptied precious pennies from their savings banks; young school girls gone without their treats; young boys given money hard earned; men and women given generously and thoughtfully. In every civilized country, now, men and women and children are pouring out gifts of money and service to the Red Cross- In every civilized country the ones at home look up to it with comfort and with hope and daily growing devotion as the young men go out to fight-

are exhausted, Vast, stupendously wealthy, teeming with man power, possessed of inexhaustible resources, fresh, .great, ingenious and Intelligent, the greatest of republics now proceeds to arm herself as no republic has ever done before, not even France. But the American military' power and the German military power are two different things. One Is upheld by the people, the other hold3 the peonje down. From a fourth-class power in 1898 to a first-class power in 1917; tomorrow the greatest power. And is it not good that the new greatest of powers Is a republic and not an autocracy?

WILSON AND ROOSEVELT. Of all the presidents of the United States, Roosevelt really was the first one to become a world figure- Taft administered during the calm before the storm and so remains in the background. But time and opportunity reserved a different place for Wjlson. A historian himself, he finds himself fixed in American and world history in a measure that neither he nor none of his predecessors ever dreamed. Because the presidency is such a reservoir of vast power, because it is after all the directing hand that steers tha country this way or that in an international crisis, It invests the occupant of that office with more than national importance. Roosevelt ably demonstrated this. However groat was the seven-year period of Roosevelt in the White House, however constructive he was in building up the country, however much note he had gained a3 a statesman on both sides of the water, it must be his regret that fate did not reserve the presidency for him until 191" instead of an earlier period- Without doubt he would have done equally well, yet either chance or destiny places in the White House at thi3 time and hence pre-eminently in history, with assurances that U3 pages will he more than those accorded to any other president, a man who wa3 secluded in the scholarly cloisters of Princeton a little more than a half dozen years agoBesides figuring in our own and world history, it is also Woodrow Wilson's lot that the histories of other countries will have much to say of him. When set in opposition to that other great notable. Emperor Wilhelm, President Wilson's character and statesmanship will stand out more brilliantly. If even pages yet to be written were to be lacking in vividness, the sinisterness and destructiveness of the hated ruler at Berlin would only bring out In more striking contrast the acts of the man at Washington. Of all world figures in this time of world doings. Fate has given the lion's share of her favors to the President-

IF THIS ISN'T TREASON, WHAT IS? CHICAGO, June 21. The Illinois Staats Zeitung, a German paper, published here, in an editorial advises President Wilson that the United States can not dethrone, the kaiser, and announces that it will not support his policy of spreading democracy throughout the world. In its editorial the Staats Zeitung says: "Now a great cry is sounded in administration circles: "Destroy world autocracy enthrone world democracy.' That is a bigger order than 'catch Villa' ever was. We d id not catch Villa and we will not , dethrone the world autocracy. We cannot follow the administration with that slogan." Just as long as the U. S- permits the publication of such Prussian sheets as the Staatszeitung with their treasonable editorials, just bo ong will recruiting lag, liberty loan bond sales go hard, and Red Cross contributions come in slowly. It the German sheet above cannot follow the administration it were better for it to shut down its presses. We sometimes have no patience with the government for dealing with the kaiser's shouters in this country so leniently. Get after them.

THE NEW MILITARY POWER. It is an odd turn of Fate that the Kaiser more than any other man now 'living is the chief instrument that helped to create the United States the greatest military power the world has ever seen- By the -same process that he hoped to set up Germany as the strongest power he unwillingly replaces It with the United StatesAmerican enters the war at a time when the nations of the Old World
