President Wilsons Peace Principles

Agajn has President Wilson come before his

own nation and the nations of the world with a clear cut pronouncement of the principles that

hereafter must control the political relations of

the big powers toward each other and their weak

er neighbors, and actuate their conduct after

peace' has been declared. His new statement of

war aims and peace terms is the logical outcome of triumphant democracy. His message is the natural and inevitable evolution from the democratic convictions that possessed his heart and guided his intellect when he first assumed executive power in the United States. These fundamental beliefs in the principles of democracy both as a theory and as a practice, conditioned and shaped by the international exigencies that presented themselves day by day during the months of his administration, find their positive and noblest expression in the declaration which he submitted to the consideration of the world in yesterday's message to Congress. A review of his notable contributions to the understanding of democracy and its application to self-government, show that President Wilson has been progressing slowly but surely to the broader fundamentals which he proposed yesterday as the terms on which it would be possible to make peace with the Imperial German government. He voices his belief in the world-wide application , of democracy in many places in his message. One citation will illustrate the point: We entered this war. because violations of rights had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life 01 our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in, and particularly that it be made safe tor every peace loving nation, which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of Justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and for our own part, we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others, it will not be done to us. The programme of the world's peace, therefore, is our programme. An excellent summary, of President Wilson's foreign policy as it slowly developed under the stress of international complication is to be found in the conclusion of Edgar E. Robinson and Victor

J. West in their book, "The Foreign Policy of Woodrow Wilson," which analytically declares: There were in the first place the fundamental beliefs of the man himself the unshakable convictions which had become his after years of study of the efforts of the peoples of the world to govern themselves. The primary and basic principle was a faith in democracy, both as an ideal and as a practice. Upon the soundness of the democratic principle he rested all his other beliefs. Because he believed in democracy he believed that very nation should regard every other nation as its equal ; that fair dealing was the best means of preserving friendship and peace between nations; that the guidance of established law was essential to international justice and fair dealing ; and that, if unhappily disputes should arise between nations, the proper means for settling them was a reasoned consideration before a court of arbitration of the controversies in the light of the law. Finally, he believed, not that force should never be used by nations against each other, but that it should be relied on only to combat criminal aggression and to further great humanitarian purposes. It is too early to state what effect his fourteen articles will have on the Imperial German government. If the Kaiser has been shooting at long range recently to ascertain the positive terms on which the Allies will declare peace, the open declaration of the British premier, Lloyd George, and the frank statement of President Wilson ought to tell him exactly the principles for

which the Allies "are ready to put their own strength, their own highest purpose, their own integrity and devotion to. the test." There is no ambiguity, no element of "secret covenant," and no mincing of words or cloaking of ulterior motives in these pronouncejnents. They comprise a definite statement which the Kaiser may accept at face value and as a pointblank answer to the desire of the Central Powers to "discuss the objects of war and a possible base of a general peace." . The President looks askance at the terms of peace which the Germans would conclude wfth Russia, a peace that would give Germany possession of the territory she has conquered, and would evade absolutely the principles for whteh the Allies are fightng, namely, those which the President re-iterates with utmost candor in his fourteen articles.The difference between the "whole thought and purpose" of the Imperial German government and the Allies is this: , Germany is fighting for conquest, for trje perpetuation of "conquest and aggrandizement," for the maintenance of "secret covenants entered into in the interests of particular governments and likely at some unlocked for moment to upset the peace of the world." The Allies are fighting "that the world be made fit and safe to live in, and particularly that it be made safe for every peace loving nation, which, like our" own, washes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and aggrandizement." Who does not share the wish and hope that the President's message may go before the Bolsheviki leaders. It would go a far way to convince them that the Allies are still their best friends and that the future welfare of Russia will be best served by heeding the advice of the leaders of the greatest democracy in the world.

The Master Vice "Faintheartedness is the master vice." Gladstone. Hardly apropos of the American mind in the war crisis, but still worthy of consideration when applied to the weaknesses of some citizens. The young man who is holding back from enlisting because he fears the shock of conflict, wounds and possible death, is held in the grip of this master vice. His better instincts urge him to join the colors, but the coils of cowardice restrain his action. The mother who cries herself sick because her son is in a military training camp or in France has been conquered by the master vice. She fears to face the issue. Her heart is not stout and strong, armed and equipped to overcome despondency and despair. The man who is liable to service under the selective draft and stands in fear and trembling be

fore the advent of the day that calls him, is in the grip of the master vice. Faintheartedness never won a battle or gained a point. It undermines the morale of every man who permits it to get the upper hand in his soul. Faintheartedness is the forerunner of cowardice. It announces the dissolution of courage and enterprise.

CONCERNING THOSE "CHEAP FISH" There Is a peculiar phenomenon in connection with two classes of tradespeople in this country. The meat dealers either cannot or do not read. They don't know ' when a meatless . day comes. There are many other things they do not keep posted on. They apparently never bear of a decline in the price of beef or if they do read it they don't believe what they see in the papers. Some people are that way.'On the other hand, the fish dealers are fiends for literature. They have sjx days in the week normally to read aijd they make the best of them. The fish dealers are among the best patrons of the newsstands. Consequently they always know when a meatless day arrives. They keep posted, and up go the prices of fish. ' - OUR OWN FOOD HINTS War Bread: War bread, an important item, can be made of potato parings and stale bread crusts. One or two of the Important metropolitan hotels have tried it The beautiful thing about war bread is that you will eventually run out of potato parings and stale bread crusts. By paring ten bushels of potatoes you will get enough parings for one baking. This, of course, represents a great saving, inasmuch as, on account of the bumper crop of potatoes this year,vtbe price of potatoes will be much higher than usual. When you run out. of stale tread crusts you will be unable to make any more of this war bread unless somebody invents a new stale bread crust ADVICE My good old father said to me: "My boy, you ace a chump To buy steaks porterhouse when young; Be satisfied with rump. You'll save much money while you're young If my advice you take; Then when you're old you can afford The choicer cuts of Bteak." That was full many years ago. I followed his advice. I bought the cheaper cuts of steak And saved much on the price. But times and steaks have changed since then No matter how I hump

Top Sergeant Real Boss From Detroit News THE First Sergeant always has been one of the most important men in the United States Army, and he is getting more Important all the time. The increase of the infantry company to 250 men has multiplied his labors and his tribulations. The First Sergeant is the buffer between the enlisted men and the company officers. He is himself an enlisted man, but often appropriates an autocratic authority that even the Captain would hesitate to assert. He is guide, philosopher and friend to every one in the company. Practically everything of a military nature that originates in the organization must pass through bis hands, and in many matters his is the final "say." The soldiers go to the First Sergeant, not as enlisted men to an officer, but as man to man. They always have the privilege of taking np important matters with the company commander or one of the other officers, but when the First Sergeant is a competent man this privilege is not exercised very often. A good First Sergeant nearly always means a good company, and a poor one the reverse. This, as a general proposition, holds true regardless of the merits of the company commander. For instance, a good Captain and a bad First Sergeant may result in a bad company, whije a bad Captain and a good First Sergeant may work the other way.

"We did until recently," said the kindly saint, "but there were so many complaints newcomers from earth said it would take them so long to play on them that we decided to give out player pianos instead. It's not so bad, we find, when one gets used to It." "And this is Paradise," mused the new arrival. "In the apartments house where I last lived on earth I used to kick because there were four of them only four." Here he sighed deeply. "Ow did it work?" said one small boy in the street to the other. "'Ow did you do it?" "See, the old man he dropped a sixpence, an I picked it up an' runned after him, an' I says, 'Mister, 'ere's a sixpense as you dropped,' an' 'e put 'is 'and in 'is pocket an' 'e says, Yoo're an 'onest little boy, 'ere's a shilling for you. Well, I dropped the shilling in front of an old woman when she had 'er purse open, an I picks it up when she walks along an' toilers 'er, an' says, 'Here, misses, is a shilling you dropped.'"

HOW MADGE TOLD DICKY THE

woman turned to her husband.

knew she was not anxious to prolong

the interview.

"Yes, we must go," the man said

"You will understand that we are very grateful for all your kindness." He

lifted his hat and bowed ceremon

iously.

"Thank you," I said perfunctorily,

"Good night," and closed the , door

upon them.

Thank goodness that incident was closed! I felt that I never wished to see either of them again. To my personal grievance against the woman's discourtesy was added the repugnance I felt to a father and mother who could go to any social affair while

their baby was in such danger.

I sat down again to my book, but the picture of the sick baby with no mother near it stayed before my eyes.

If ever a baby came to me, I told my

self fiercely, I would not leave it 111,

no matter how pressing the engage

ment was.

I resolved to wait for Dicky, even

if he were very late. I felt that I owed him an apology. But how I

dreaded telling him that MrSv Smith had broken the engagement I remem

bered his second words when I had told him that I could not change my

business appointment with her except

for the gravest reasons.

"Fiddlesticks!" he had said. Til

bet shell change it fast enough if she

happens to think of. any little thing

like getting her hair dressed or her

nails manucured that she wants to

do."

My cheeks flushed as I remembered

how I had defended Mrs. Smith from Dicky's words. And she had proved

the truth of his assertions. She had broken the engagement for on appoint

ment with a masseuse!

A strong temptation came to me.

Why tell Dicky the truth and bear

the ridicule I knew he would heap

upon my head? why not let him think I had reconsidered my decision and broken the engagement myself

to please him?

I had quite a battle with myself.

But finally I conquered the temptation

I had tried to play fair with Dicky

ever 6ince I married him. I would not

deceive him in this thing.

My decision once made, every minute of Dicky's absence seemed an hour

to me. I was anxious to get the disagreeable task of telling Dicky the truth over with. I could not read or

sew or sit still. I put aside my book, and jumping up, began to pace up and

down the room. "Doing a Marathon?"

Dicky's cheerful voice broke In on

my rushing walk. Evidently he had

walked off his ill humor. And he only

had been gone an hour. Perhaps if

I managed the situation carefully we might have our outing after all the

next day. "No, only waiting for you. I have an acknowledgment to make

to you." "Hear mine first," Dicky said ex

travagantly. "I know I was pretty boorish a while ago, and I'm awfully

sorry. I have thought up a brilliant

BY BECKLES WILLS0N . Lieut. W. O. Hamilton, now in service at the British-Canadian Recruiting mission in Chicago, never tells the real story of the part he played in the Ypres salient The story was unearthed in an official gazette and is given as follows, by a comrade who also participated in those never-to-be-forgotten experiences of Ypres. Tomorrow Lieut Hamilton's own story . will appear. "My battalion," narrates one officer , who greatly distinguished himself, "went forward in four waves, two un.dr Major Perry two under Major (McCualg. The first of the trenches fwas taken without opposition. It had (been practically obliterated by our arItJllery. While we were taking this I trench, the artillery lifted until 1:50, to give us time to reach the second (trench, which we also took with little opposition. Major Perry wag hit before we

reached the first trench. The third trench was taken by the first three waves, supported by the fourth." But It was here that opposition was encountered. A Boche machine gun on the left had been dragged up from below, and ably handled by a Boche sergeant whose face was streaming with blood, and they enfiladed our line in a most disastrous manner. Four of our advancing officers were struck down, and for a few moments it looked as though that single weapon was going to check this part of our line. "Silence that Hun machine! Put it out of action!" roared one of our officers. Luitenant W.'G. Hamilton ran backwards with a single private, armed with bombs, and charged the Boche offender in the dark, guided only by bis own fire. The first bomb killed the sergeant, but another sprang in his place, and the crew had eo be beaten off with fist and the butt of a revolver. The gun was captured, mounted and trained on the enemy."

Rheumatism is easier to arc-id than to cure, states a well-know authority.

W are advised to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed Into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine: the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this Impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneyu to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a glass of water and drink before breakfast each iorning for a week. This is scid to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the .kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results. by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent lithia-water drink which helps overcome uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys, as welL Adv.

You could ask her to change one hour, conldnt you?" Dicky has the most winning voice and smile I have ever known. My heart wanned to his kindness. I no longer dreaded to tell him of Mrs. Smith's defection. ' "I can give you better news than that" I said, smiling. "You were right and I was wrong about Mrs. Smith. She called up just after you left and asked me if I would mind her changing the day of the appoint, ment as she had an engagement with her masseuse for that hour. So if you like we can go after alL" Dicky stared at me a minute. Then he threw back his head and laughed. "What, did I tell you?" he Jeered good-naturedly. Then as be saw my face he stopped laughing and put his arms around me. "You didn't need to tell me this," he said softly. "Why didnt you lie about it and say you had changed your mind and called the lady up yourself?" "I couldnt. Dicky," I faltered. "I wanted to, but I couldn't"

He tightened his clasp around me. "That makes an awful hit with me. sweetheart. Pretty nice thing to be sure your wife won't lie to you." "But Dicky, don't you see it's because I wont lie to anybody that I won't lie to you. That was the reason I couldn't tell Mrs. Smith a falsehood about the engagement" I always seemed fated to say the wrong thing to Dicky. The grasp af his arms loosened ever so slightly. "Don't spoil it all with a" lecture, Madge." he 6aid a trifle Impatiently, "Let's forget all the unpleasant part By the way, If we get off in the morning well have to get some sleep. Good night." He kissed me hastily and went to his room. I felt repulsed, as if he had pushed me away from him. I had not meant to annoy him, only to try to make him see my point of view. But it seemed hopeless for Dicky and me to ever look at things in the same light. I made up my mind that I would not brood over it however. Nothing should mar my enjoyment of the morrow's outing.
