Now and for agee unoorn, me world's supreme symbol for heroic endurance will be the word: "Verdun!" There is, the other fable, also beginning as a slander, that Britain fights her battles with tha Mood of other nations. The million British casualties in this last year of the war are enough to settle that yarn, if it were not settled already by the fact that the Island of Great Iintain called more than 13 per cent of her entire population to arms. . WHAT IS THE REASON? There is something inexplicable to the layman about the -my casualty list. It doea seem as If the War Department is stringing out the agony a much longer time than should be necessary. Gen. Pershing's reported statement that oversea casualties are cabled to the United States as soon as reported does not alter the fact that letters are here from Paris date as recently as Nov. 11, whereas the latest reported death given out by the "ar Department is one of Oct. 16. As a matter of fact a letter was received in Hammond last week from France dated November IS and there may be others still later.

THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP. President Wilson's address to Congress on the eve of his departure still fails to answer his critics who believe that he should not leave his own soil to attend the peace conference. As a matter-of-fact he presents in the high points of the executive address the very vital problems which his critics insist are pressing enough to give the nation's chief magistrate all that he can possibly attend to at home during these reconstruction weeks that promise to be the very stormiest in American history. These points are: Passage of woman's suffrage. Use of existing government agencies to effect reconstruction. , Immediate resumption of developments of public work to provide employment for returning soldiers. Ratification in the Colombian treaty to improve pan-American relations. Immediate determination of taxes for 1918. 1919 and 1920 and lifting as much of the tax burden from business as government needs will permit. Priority of distribution of American raw materials to war Ftricken nations. Complete consummation of the three year naval program. Leave determination of railroads' future to congress, but recommending against return to pre-war conditions of private railroad control unmodified. Railroad control to be studied by congress Immediately to quickly remove doubt as to their future. Reclamation of arid, swamps and cut-over land. If these problems are not. urgent and pressing insomuch as they deal with the welfare of the country, then there are none such problems. The president Is. absenting himself from his country at a most critical period in its history. He is leaving for Europe with the country'g peace problems entirely unsettled. There has been no real preparation in this country for peace. Britain, and France prepared for reconstruction months ago. Mr. Wilson goes to an European conference. lie has repeatedlv declared that America wants nothing of the spoils of war for itself. He leaves with the inference that there are no democrats or republicans who can be trusted to end over there without his presence to fittingly represent the United Staters at the conference which we do not think is true. As we have pointed out many things now unthought of may happen when he is away on his trip which is to last, well into next year. Let us hope that none of them do happen. Let us hope that his mission abroad is successful and here's wishing him a safe voyage and a Godspeed.

LABOR'S SPLENDID RECORD. When the history of the great war is written, the splendid record of the workmen of America will be worthy of publishing beside that of the gallant fighters for democracy on the battlefields of Europe. American labor has performed truly wonderful works in the great conflict. It has been the hope of the -o::d; the one reliance of the hosts of democracy abroad. England's man power and that of France were called for the building up of armies to a point where both countries were dependent on America for many raw materials. America was also called upon to furnish a great army: but those who remained in the factories redoubled their efforts, knowing that upon them depended the safety of those who had gone, and life itself for the unfortunate war-stricken nations allied with America. Labor has not failed in its gigantic task. With practically the whole world to feed, clothe, shelter, and arm. one could hardly have wondered if the men at home had considered the contract almost too much for them; but the American workman is not of that type. "Here is a job," was the subconscious thought of the workmen and the workingwomen as well "that has got to be done. It's a b!g job, but it can be done if we will that it be done." And it has been accomplished. Floyd Gibbons, the famous war correspondent who was wounded In France, found how the workman felt about the war In a conversation with a little Americn soldier on a French railway train. "The Kaiser is the world's biggest scab," was the young soldier's verdict. (He had. by the way, just come from the upper Michigan peninsula, where he was one of

a number of strikers who had just won a victory in a strike for better working conditions.) "The world's on strike against him, and we must win the strike." The patriotic workman and the quick-thinkjng manager have won this war for America. Senator McKellar recently declared that the lion's share of the credit should go the workmen. The plans of even the most astute nanagers have gone awry; in some projects there "has been delay and almost failure. But America has made up, or is making up, all the defects of poor manafcemen;. And when peace finally dawns, with America triumphant. It is to American labor that the victory will be largely drip. Few persons realize the magnitude of labor's task in the great conflict. What actualy has been done almost staggers the imagination.

SOME VANISHED ILLUSIONS. The Chicago Journal points out that the world has gotten rid of a number of i?s cherished illusions during the last few years. That fact is not compensation for the losses the world has suffered, but it is worth something. There is the illusion that peace makes cowards out of men. The great war. coming after forty years' which if not wholly peaceful were at least not marked by struggles in the field, witnessed the most uniform heroism ever known. Utterly unmilitary countries like Belgium, Britain and the United States and countries like France In which military preparedness was for defensive purposes only headed the list in this outpouring of valor. The notion that humanity needs a blood bath every few years to keep it brave has been laid to rest let us hope forever. With it sleeps the illusion that the Teuton is a superman, at least in war. and that the military fpnius found 'in any country is due to its Teutonic blood. Passing by the fact that Germany showed up less favorably in several matters than did her antagonists, it is enough to point to the two great martial geniuses of the war Foch and Joffre. Both came from the extreme south of France, where Teutonic blood is about as common as honor in Potsdam. Then there is the illusion that the French, while brave in attack, are poor in defense. It seems incredible that this stupid slander was once an article of faith

WHY DID McADOO RESIGN? That there is some reason for the resignation of Secretary McAdoo which has not been made public is the consensus of opinion amons a great many newspapers. The Muncie Press says that stories out of Washington persist that Mr. McAdoo's reasons for resigning his numerous government jobs are not such as he has given out and that hi3 private fortunes are in on such state of lowebb as to require his attention soon. Serious differences over national policies are said to exist between Mr. McAdoo and his father-in-law the president, McAdoo being especially opposed to the socialistic strain that, seems to be tainting the administration in most of its acts of both war and peace. Another report has it that the differences also are personal and growing out of domestic relations. Thes reports may all be untrue, but it is known that the resignation has caused great surprise among Mr. McAdoo's close friends who say that neither his health nor his finances have been greatly impaired by his holding the important positions under the administration, and who are seeking for other reasons. It has been suggested that Mr. McAdoo may have resigned to devote all his time to the effort to land the Democratic presidential nomination in 1920. Time should disclose this feature if that is the object of Mr. McAdoo's resignation. But anyway he has resigned and it is going to take several people to fill his places.

A COMMON SCOLD. The capacity of John Skelton Williams, Controller of the Currency, to pick quarrels has not diminished. His unsavory record inthat regard, established during his controversy with the officials of the Riggs Bank in Washington, is being maintained in a letter-writing duel that he has inaugurated with the president of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. That gentleman, in a speech before the American Bankers' Association, took Mr. Williams to task for having drawn, in a printed circular from his office, a parallel between national and state banks much to the discredit of the latter. Mr. Williams immediately referred to his handy dictionary of invectives, selected such descriptive phrases as "malicious purpose," "false impression," "promulgation of misinformation," "propensity to cause mischief," etc.. and h efun bocan. Incidentally the Controller made the grave charge that criticism of his office had the effect of interfering with the sale of Liberty Bonds, but the facts show that the Guaranty Trust Company led all similar concerns in the purchase of bonds, having invested to the extent of , $125,000,000.

AROUND as soon as they got there. THE divorce question was seriously agitated AT our dwelling place of light last night WHEN a certain lady said she didn't SEE how some people expect to spend ETERNITY in heaven WHEN it Is next to impossible to get along WITH them here on earth for a week.

According to the Indiana Harbor Sentinel a letter received a day or two ago from Francis Englehavipt indicates that the young man Is once more In the hospital In France. Francis has probably been through more of what Sherman characterized as war, than any local man In the service. HSs present ailment Is what he describes as "trench mouth." Whatever the nature of that ailment. It certainly is not verv pleasant and has already resulted in the loss of Private Englehaupt "one or tw o of bis teeth with the liklihood 'that more will follow. Young Englehaupt has been in the hospital three times previous to his present experience, having been tw-lce wounded and once gassed. His return should be a triumphal one for if soldiers are honored in proportion to their suffering his should be a meed of no small honor.
