WfLSON'S NEW BLUNDER. President "Wilson's utterly amaiing determination to go to Trance with his wife on a U. S. batfleship so that he may attend the peace conference at Versailles has not yet been fully grasped by the people of this country. Of course it is true Mr. Wilson has worked hard and deserves a Junket, but there is a considerable number ot people in this country who have worked hard Bince the war began, and they will have to keep on working. In order that this, the greatest country in the world, may not lose a M-hit of prestige. It is true that the shopping In Paris for Mrs. Wilson will be fine and she will see some wonderful sights, but Why does Mr. Wilson go to Europe? To show his otter disregard for precedent? To leave his post at a critical hour? To shatter diplomatic etiquette or to feed his insatiable craving for the spotlight? To leave us at the mercy of Tom Marshall, the manufacturer of cheap quips and silly epigrams? It would be a different matter if Mr. Wilson's presence at the peace table was indispensable. There will be no other kings or rulers there. The United States might be viewed in the light of an intruder. Our country will be put in the position of trying to meddle with the map of .Europe, and assuming a priority over others that the people of this country do not want to assume. Mr. Wilson's determination to obtrude his personality and his personal wishes in this war is not setting the country on fire. We shall know one of these days what- the allies secretly think of his vaulting ambitions. His place is at home. He was elected the chief magistrate of this country, not as a foreign diplomat. These are -war days. Mr. Wilson is leaving his country while It is at war to the tender mercies of a politician who said in public that this" wa3 is a democratic asset. These are the days of reconstruction and a thousand and one problems. Anything may happen.
STAY ON THE WATCH TOWERS! The day after the German plenipotentiaries with white brassards on their arms met in that historic railroad car where Marshal Foch had his headquarters and signed the armistice, this newspaper expressed its disbelief In Germany's sincerity and serious intentions. We declared that the action on Germany's part was merely diplomatic camouflage. Since then it has repeatedly put forth an en gard against Germany. Transpiring events prove that we may not have been far WTong. The people of the United States in their mad rejoicing over the armistice signatories were prone to accept them at their face value. They believed that arrogant Germany had acknowledged herself beaten and was preparing to pay the price in full GERMANY WILL NEVER PAY THE PRICE IN FULL. IF SHE CAN HELP IT. What has happened since?, It has been ascertained that the kaiser is still kaiser and that his abdication was another "scrap of paper." His abdication has never been officially proclaimed. He motored into Holland after the Dutch government, forced by her unfortunate geographical proximity, had found him an asylum. There the crown prince and other Hohenzollern sprigs, together with the Prussian military group, have foregathered and are in close conference. They are within a moment's call. It is preposterous to suppose for a moment that they are discusssing the Follies of 1920 or the flu in Indiana. What-is the perfectly natural subject that consumes the time of these insufferably ambitious militarists and ally-haters but their future and the future of Germany? THE KAISER AND HIS SON ARE BOTH OBESSED NAPOLEONISTS and they.. trust them for that, will NEVER MAKE NAPOLEON'S MISTAKES. Who have they left behind them in Control of Germany's affairs? Hindenburg, the colossal tactician and warrior; Solf, an avowed junker; Max, horeditary agrarian and prince; Ebort and Scheidenian, pro-kaiserites extraordinary; Ertzberger, who said he would rather see the eight million people in London destroyed RATHER THAN SEE ONE GERMAN KILLED. Where are the opponents of the great war the Germans who believed the invasion of Belgium a crime? WHERE ARE THE
MAXIMILIAN HARDENS? You can look in vain for them. What do we KNOW is happening in Germany? ..thing except the recurrent messages to this country iat Germany is in a pitiable plight and that she wants ood. The very fact that these messages have come to nis cov-ntry show they are not true and that they have n ulterior purpose. We are all perfectly familiar with he fact that Germany is a gross diplomatic liar. We all remember her numerous peace offensives. WE ALL 1CN0W THAT WHEN GERMANY SAYS ANYTHING SHE MEANS JUST THE OPPOSITE. Why then are these reports sent out? Merely an. attempt to make the world believe Germany is In serious shape; mors deceit, more camouflage, more attempted hoelleniwang. We are told that Germany has had a revolution, but outside of sporadic outbreaks it has been bloodless. The people still wear the Hohenzollern collar. What does history reveal to us? WHO IN CERMANY HAS EVER RAISED A PROTEST IN ORDER T6 DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS? What revolutions have ever broken out in Prussia, the land of great despots? Blasco Ibanei, the Spaniard, says In answer- Frederick William, the founder of militarism, when he was tired of beating his wife and spitting in his children's plates, used to sally forth thong in hand in order to COW HIDE THOSE SUBJECTS WHO DID NOT GET OUT OF HIS WAY IN TIME. His son, Frederick the Great, declared that he 'died bored to death governing a nation of slaves. In two centuries of Prussian history, one single revolution the barricades of 1848 a bad Berlinish copy of th Paris revolution WITHOUT ANY RESULT. Bismarck corrected it with a heavy hand so as to crush completely the last attempts at protest if such reaUy even existed. And when his friends were threatening him with revolution, the ferocious junker merely put his hands on his hips and roared with the most insolent of horse laughs. A revolution in Prussia. Nothing stirring. BISMARCK KNEW HIS PEOPLE. If the German people were sick of war, furious with the kaiser and determined to take things into their own hands, the streets of her cities would run red with blood. If the proletarian was starving this certainly would have come about. NOTHING ON EARTH COULD PREVENT IT. It is preposterous, however, to think that there is any danger of starvation in Germany, if the words of her leaders last summer were true. THEY EITHER LIED THEN OR ARE LYING NOW. Germany since then has stolen mountains of foodstuffs. WThat has become of them? She robbed Russia and Roumanla blind and her crops last year and this were good. Every picture that comes out of Germany shows her people and soldiers wen fed. Jowls are almost as plentiful as ever. ' Suppose her soldiers as they march back into Germany are dls armed. Does that imply for a moment tha there are not other arms for them? We have always insisted that Germany's long suit is her foresightedness. Her leaders look ahead. They may have counted on victory but they were and are prepared for defeat Just the same. We have been told two years ago that Germany admitted she had lost the war That "was a German lie of course, but no one can con vince us that Germany hasn't known just what she would do; how she would shape her future; how she would be prepared for any contingency or emergency that might arise when the day came for her to lower her standards What Germany does in this hour certainly will not be anything that will fatten the U. S. and the allies at Germany's expense. You can bank on that. What Ger many will do is not known. HER CARDS ARE NOT EXPOSED AND SHE HAS A SLEEVE FULL OF THEM
WE NO LONGER LEAD. "Simultaneously with the establishment of peace there will come a stiffening in the competition for the trade of the foreign markets, and the' United States will at once feel the effects of the preparation of European countries for Xhe campaign to recover lost trade and fo acquire new," declares John H. Allen, vice president of the National City Bank of New York. Mr. Allen points to the fact that foreign trade with the British is a science, and England is going about preparing for it with cool deliberateness. Meanwhile we are told by the war trade board that the administrative authorities of this government have no intention of considering trade ques tion at this time, that we must not grab any trade anywhere which properly belongs to our allies, and the president makes free trade a part of the future peace conditions, a condition which, it is surmised, he will expert ence some difficulty in having adopted by any European country. Surely if England, France, Italy and even Germany, are taking steps looking toward the future of their foreign trade, the United States should be able to. Senator John Weeks has offered a reconstruction measure in the senate, which, if it Is not murdered by the president, will devote a large amount of attention to problems of post-war trade. We ought to take the lead in these matters, not wait for Great Britain, or France, to show us the way, and, even then, fail to follow their example. What has come over us In this respect? We didn't use to be so slow in matters of commerce.
HOW LONG WILL THEY STAND IT? The government controls about everything now except the air we breathe and if Mr. McAdoo or Mr. Burleson could see their way clear they would probably put the air under government control. No longer, we are informed, are night letters thai are sent by telegraph, to be delivered by telegraph messengers in the morning as has been the custom.' Instead, they are placed in mail bags and added to the burden of the postofflce, already heavily overburdened, and there take their chances of being delivered some time the day following that on which they are sent. But we may become used to these things in time, just like one could become accustomed to having bis legs cut off, no doubt, if he had enough legs. But, if we mistake not, says the Muncie Press, the publjc temper, there will come a time of reckoning some day, and in that time of reckoning we shall allow the people who understand how to run the telegraph business to run it and those who understand how to run the railroads to run them, and in that happy day we'll get service in stead of salve and the communications we need instead of political literature.

THE signing up of the armistice has of course done away with the idea of war paper pants AND all the time we have spent listening intently for the crinkle AND the crackle of the paper things AS the tenderer sex rushes hither and yon SEEMS to have been entirely wasted.

To Avoid and Believe influenza Br. DH FRANKLIN DUANE.
Many people have been frightened by what they have read or heard of influenza. The more you fear the disease, the surer you are to get. Go right about your business and forget it. As the disease la spread principally by contact thru sneezinK. coughing or spitting, many health authorities have advised that everyone wear a gauze, which Is daily washed and saturated with a one to five hundred solution of sine sulphate in water, and then dried before wearing over the nose and mouth. You should avoid crowds, common drinking cups and public towels. Keep your strength up by taking lots of exercise In the open air and plenty of nourishing food. If you have any of such symptoms as chilliness, nasal obstructions, flushed face, headache, feverishness, restlessness, weakness, or irritating cough, give up work at once and go to bed. This will save your strength to help overcome tho disease. Put your feet in hot water for fifteen minutes. Thoroughly loosen the bowels with some such mild and non-lfritating physic a,s Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink principally of hot lemonade and then cover up with plenty' of ' clothes in bed so as to gfct fc good sweat. When sweating is free and the fever reduced- take a dose of two Anuric Tablets every four hours, followed by drinking at least a glass or two of hot water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve the soreness of tha muscles and bones from which more patients complain and help the kidneys flush out the poisona. To relieve nasal obstructions and ex-exc-;ssivc discharge fron. tno nose, probably nothing is better than such a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. It will give great relief. Employed a3 a gargle. In same strength as made up for use In the nose, and as hot as can be borne, it quickly arrests soreness and dryness in the throa t. Influenza weakens the patient's resistance to disease, so that there is dangt j of bronchitis and pneumonia dveloping. To combat this tendency and fortify the patient's strength Insist that he keep in bed at least two days. Probably.
nothing will atHhis, stage hasten the recovery and strengthen the patient more than an iron-tonic tablet called "Irontic" or that ell known herbal tonic. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which has been used by thousands In the past two generations. Adv.
