AMERICAN CEMETERY IN FRANCE. Last Friday there was a memorial service in H.anca -which -was "perhaps more fmpressive than anything done in this country to mark the occasion. The greatest American military cemetery was openfi at Romagne, France. Romagne is in the Argonne-Meuse district, where nearly 30,000 Americans were killed oi died of wounds. For several month3 a small army of workers has been busy preparing the cemetery. The bodies have been brought from the lonely graces scattered all over the battlefield to this one place, which 13 to be made beautiful and peaceful. A truly remarkable work of identification haa beeJ accomplished, sfod in the future the resting places of those brave boys will be clearly marked. There are to be other American cemeteries in France in the different battle sections where our men fought. The American army has done more than either the British or French authorities have been able to do for their fallen- When the plan of bringing our soldier dead back to America had to be abandoned, prompt action was taken to make the very best provisions for the men who must lie "over there" where they fought and died and won. The peasants of France have shown a fine appreciation of . the little graves that mark the battlefields all through the war zone. With beautiful feeing they tend alike, the graves of their own dead and those of their fallen allies. It was in their eager, loving effort that Americans in France placed their hope that not ?.i American soldier's grave mould be undecorated on his first Memorial Day after the war. The mothers and wives and families of those boys pay think of their soldiers not as tying In forgotten graves, far from home and all things American, but as resting in an American cemetery which will be as beautiful as skill and care can make it. Those cemeteries will remain symbols of America's part in the war and of her willing sacrifice. It is fitting that they should be near the scene of the battles in which our men fought.

CONTINUANCE OF HIGH PRICES. It Is the opinion of all practical business men that prices are to keep up. Next fall the prices of all kinds cf merchandise will be as high or higher than they are now, and next winter still higher. In fact, no one can predict with any good reason when the era of high prices will end. The world has started out on a new era since the war began. Old things have passed away or are passing. As the high cost of living advances rbe rewards of labor keep close behind it. How there can be any change in this relation no one can understand. One incident of this high cost of living and higher wages to meet it i3 the fact that there is more money now than formerly. There is more money now to buy with and this situation is likely to keep up. And these conditions are evening up and we do not feel the burden of high prices owing to the Inflation of the currency. That inflation is likely to remain as long at least as the country is in debt There is a new relationship between cost and price that is to remain, not by policy or law, but by the logic of events.

MORE LIGHTS ON MORAL PERILS. The minister who has undertaken the mora censorship of New York continues to amplify his indictments of social conditions. Last week, if we remember right, it was the dance that "was leading the city down to destruction. But women's clothes, it seems, are equally to blame. Their "extreme and immodest styles" have a direct relation to the "increasing prevalence of vice," and in particular The most sinster and menacing figure in our modern life is the cigarette-smoking, cock

tail-drinking, pug-dog-nursing, half-dressed, painted woman who frequents the theater, glggleB at the cabaret, gambles in our drawing rooms and dines and dances in our hotels with her dress cut C in front and V in the back. Take the "V in the back'' and the "C in front." apply a ministerial eye and add an E, and there you have vice itself in its most demoralizing mein; it is, all as simple as spelling. But no doubt the point for consideration is ouv debt to the pulpit reformer who warns us of these moral perils. Most men go along taking the changing styles in women's clothes for granted, seeing no evil in them and blind to any suggestivenesa fin scant skirts or decollete gowns. No oubt they will be puzzled to know that the length or brevity of a woman's skirt is an index of her moral character or that giggling at a cabaret show ia worse than giggling at the movies, or yet that dining at a hotel differs in moral degree from 'dining at home. To be now informed that they have been living in a fool's paradise of respect for womanhood in whatever apparel it choses to adorn itself will no doubt be disillusioning. But have all other New York min isters been equally blind to the evil? Is it given only to the superior discernment of one pulpit censor to observe and expose It? New York World. WHAT THE "ARMY" DOES. Many people seem to imagine that about all the Salvation Army does in normal times is' to march around beating drums and holding prayer meetings. It is universally recognized that the "Army" rendered admirable service in France during the war. Still, there is a prevalent impression that that service consisted almost entirely of the distribution of doughnuts of soldiers. And now that the war Is over, thre is an end of doughnuts, and, according to this limited view, nothing left but the drumming and praying. Why, then, some people inquire, does the Salvation Army want $13,000,000? In explaining exactly why the Army is trying to raise a fund of that amount. Commander Evangeline Booth sweeps away all this misconception in a brief

and instructive statement. She explains that the work done in France was, in reality, "exactly what we hae been doing for more than half a century " The details of the service were adapted to meet the special needs of the soldiers, but the principles and general procedure remained the same. And now that the war emergency is over, the organization returns to its regular Job. "Our rescue homes, our day nurseries, our lodgins houses for the unfoftunate, our orphanages, our fresh air farms, our free clinics, our prison work, our slum settlements, our homes for the aged these institutions .re founded on exactly the same principles, purposes and ideals that took us to France." This little catalogue of activities is in itself illuminating. Here is a big work that has never been done as well as the Army wanted to do it. because the money was never available. The workers want to handle it as effectively now as they handled the job in France. That Is why they ask for money. And any city can afford, either for moral reasons or for business reasons, to give them what they want.

COBDENISM TO BAT. Poultney Bigelow contributes two remarkable statements to the New York Times: First, that the Monroe doctrine means that the United States is the only power entitled to expand in the western hemisphere an allegation, whose defamatory character is evidenced by long years of American history which give it the lie; and second, that Japan is entitled to the thanks of China for taking over Shantung and getting a good start on reducing the rest of China to subjection. Mr- Eigelow is entitled to rank as our principal Japanese patriot. He seems to have acquired his views of such American policies as the Monroe doctrine, as a member of the Cobden Club, the Authors Club of London, the Royal Artillery Institution of Woolwich, the Royal Geographical Society of London, and ihe Ethological Society of London, not to mention a life membership in the late Imperial Yacht Club of Kiel all of which are listed among his- distinctions in "Who's Who." His theory that China ought to thank Japan for grabbing her sacred province, with 10,000 square miles of territory and forty million people, entitles him o a life membership in the American Humorists association. Bill Nye never said -anything half so funny.

THE TRACKLESS TROLLEY CAR. One hears that the tracklejs trolley car, now in operation in several New England towns, is proving itself a welcome convenience, although to those who are familiar only with a trolley car traveling on the undeviating straight line of its tracks, this latest addition to the transportation system must seem rather a lively feature in the rural landscape. The troitey

hat allows the car to wander about the road as the

the exigencies or tramc demand, mis car can pass vehicles ahead of it, avoid puddles, and otherwise conduct itself as if no trolley connection fastened it to the overhead wire. Practically it eliminates the expense of laying tracks and keeping the roadbed in repair afterward, and those who have seen and traveled In It think that it Is leading the way back to the fivecent fare for street railway transportation which the American public has, in many places, so regretfully seen vanish.

TOUTH will be served AND a Ford at 21 Is usually more fun THAN a Cadillac at 50. THE mental depression WHICH Is said to exist In Germany IS probably due to the FACT that the German people are beginning: TO understand THAT peace is not to he arranged FOR their exclusive benefit. THE reason why soma women have only one SERVANT and sometimes none IS the way they talk like they had a dozen , AND makes them work that way. EVERT married man believes THAT he has to waste a whole month OF time each year HUNTING for something his wife has put away WHEN she was cleaning up.
