AU rlg-hta of republication of special dispatches hereLat are also reserved.Germany's Wail The clamor of German statesmen and editors against the peace treaty came as no surprise to the Allies.' They fully expected it, but the pre sumption of"a plea for mercy did not deter them from shearing Germany of all military power and reducing her to a state of economic dependence that will prevent a Irepitition of the great war with the Huns as aggressors. To all of Germany's complaints against the severity of " the terms, there need be only one rejoinder, "Reference, to her own treatment of conquered nations and the terms she imposed upon Russia at BrestLitovsk." i.; "There ii only one immediate solution peace with Russia and the use of bolshevik troops for Germany" j Herr Geisberts, one of the German delegates at Versailles, ; is quoted by the Neue Zeitung as declaring with reference to the peace terms submitted. Herr Landsberg "The cruel announcements of the press have been exceeded. No verbal objctions can be handed over. We can do nothing but say yes or no. That is the quintessence of a peace of force." Prof. Schuecking "The document is simply awful." Premier Hirsch of Prussia, speaking in the Prussian national assembly characterized the peace terms as representing a purely "mailed fist" peace which "would mean slavery for the fatherland and fresh bloodshed for Europe." Other statements indicate that the German people are beginning to admit that their war lords were primarily responsible for the war and to see that the sinking of the Lusitania and other atrocities, which a few years ago filled their souls with glee, were moral outrages that in themselves carried the cause of defeat.

Express Company's Deficit Here's another chapter in the sad story of government ownership. A deficit of $2,176,083 after the payment of operating charges and taxes as compared with a surplus of $1,624,852 in the preceding year, is shown by the report of the Wells, Fargo & Co., for 1918. Federal control is blamed for the condition by President Caldwell. A long commentary on the deficit in the affairs of the Wells Fargo & Company is as unnecessary as is the growing conviction all over the country that government ownership has been tried and found wanting. Federal control has resulted in neither improved service nor reduced rates. Quite the contrary! Rates are far in excess of the level under private ownership and the service is becoming increasingly worse as the tenure of federal control continues.

riors have made unfavorable comparisons with the business abilities of the American girl as compared with English and French young women, holding that the training of the last-named fits them to be better life partners. "As might be expected, a large proportion of the so-called slacker marriages, contracted under

the erroneous notion that it would enable the dodging man to escape the draft, have gone to smash, reaching the courts in the form of suits for support and prosecutions for desertion. Analysis of the statistics, made by experts, demonstrates on the other side of the ledger that where sincerity was the base of these unions they have turned out uniformly well. On the whole, it is the disagreeable exceptions of which the most is heard, and it is quite likely, as the optimists of the courts assert, that the usual average of happy nuptials was attained."

What Absence Has Caused ' "Juvenile and Divorce Court investigators are discovering that a large number, relatively speaking, of the suddenly contracted war marriages are having deplorable endings," says the Cincinnati Enquirer. "Soldiers who are marching home are learning that their absence, instead of making the hearts of their brides grow fonder, has had the reverse effect. Their room rather than their company is wanted by the disappointed girls,jnany of whom were not old enough, as the saying goes to know their own minds when they took their marital vows. "This situation is not peculiar to the United States and has assumed serious aspect in Canada and England. Nor are all the disappointments confined to one sex. Though denied by the court representatives, it is asserted that returned war-

The New Leaven The demobilization of something near two million men is bound to have far-reaching results throughout the United States. Every city, every hamlet every community, is bound to be more or less affected by the return to civil life and civil duties of these men who, for a space of time, have known the value of military discipline and military education. In no one thing will this new leaven be felt more strongly than as an aid to the campaign for the suppression of prostitution and the eradication of venereal diseases being conducted by the Indiana State Board of Health and the United States Public Health Service. r As soon as these men donned, the uniform of the United States they began to receive an education in matters of social hygiene. They were taught the inexorable law that an unclean man unclean physically or morally cannot be a fit nor an efficient man. The facts as to right thinking, right living, the almost unbelievable prevalence of disease infection among immoral women, the value of continence, the baleful effects, even upon children yet unborn, of the venereal diseases all these facts have been made known to every man who is soon to return to his home. In one sense each one of these returning soldiers will be a missionary to his home community. By his example not less than by his precept ne will aid the entire country in understanding the work that is being done by the State Boards of Health, backed up by the United States Public Health Service, to free the country from the curse of venereal' disease. Each community has the right to be proud of the fine achievement of its soldiers, and the influence they will exert, perhaps unconsciously, when they come home, is certain to be great. The new leaven of their influence is a force that must be reckoned with, and so far as the returning soldiers pass on "the lessons in social hygiene which they themselves have learned, that leaven must be wholly good. And it behooves every citizen to stand shoulder to shoulder with the returned soldiers in the fight for a clean nation so earnestly advocated by President Wilson. The opportunity to serve in this community is offered in the proposed establishment of a free clinic for the treatment of venereal diseases, with enforcement of a proper ordinance that they be reported and quarantined by health officers.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW AOAM8 DAILY TALK . V : - - - ;- . ;-L - WELL, WHAT OF IT? There is nothing surer than this -that once the milk Is spilled, it's spilled and if the cow that gave the milk can give no more milk the next job is to hunt up another cow. But what is, is. I have known people to worry about things that happened twenty years before and to worry over them as vividly as if they had happened that day. And I would like to say, "Well, what ot It?" Take the inventor, for instance. If La didn't keep discarding old models for new ones, and forgetting his mistakes, where would he be? If he should say to himself, "I have worked for fifteen years on this design and now because it doesn't work I want to Quit," where would he be? He would soon be forgotten. Suppose every time you get sort of mixed up and discouraged, you would say to yourself, "Well, what of It?" I believe then you would smile and step ahead. Regret never did a constructive thing. But the "Well, what ot It" spirit has often re-shaped a mans view-point and led him over the rough spots and tied him to a success both sure and permanent. No one has ever invented a reason for worry and I have never" heard of one good thing that worry ever created. Have you? Well then, see how many times today you can smile In the face ot things that do not go right and say, "Well, what of it?"

Austria Gives Up Hope Of German Alliance (By Associated Press) VIENNA, May 12 The death knell of old Austria was sounded in parliament Thursday afternoon when Chancellor Renner, in accepting the nomination as a peace delegate to go to St. Germaine. said he relinquished all hopes for a luslon with Germany. His speech was made while the impression caused by the aUies terms to Germany was still strong. The feeling in the chamber was, according to the speaker, "that it would be madness to unite with a nation subject to such measures." "The Austrian people must suffer for the misdeeds of their rulers," the chancellor said. "We never wanted the war and we were not guilty of bringing it about. I will do my best to secure better terms for ourselves." The address was delivered within a stone's throw of the foreign office in Ballplatz, where the first machinery of the war was set in motion nearly five years ago and moved many of the chancellor's hearers to tears. A few socialists demanded that no delegates be sent, but there was no attempt at revolt or bolshevism."

Either Back In America Or On Way (By Associated Press) PARIS, France, May 12 Half of the American expeditionary forces is either back in America or Is on the way there, according to . the Stars and Stripes the official publication of the American army in France. "It is certain that with over 900,000 already in the United States and a

million still in Europe, on May 4th the

nair way milestone was reached today." The newspaper says. "Reliable, If unofficial, cables from Washington state that President Wilson and the war department are plan-

Financial Terms Of Peace Treaty Protested (By Associated Press) ( PARIS, France, May 13. The financial clauses of the treaty between the allied and associated nations and Germany continue to be the most discussed sections of the. document and are almost universally condemned for not making Germany responsible for the repayment of the entire cost of the war and for leaving France with a burden placed at 170,000.000,000 francs. "What will the stupefaction of France be when it is realized that her victory condemns her to bankruptcy?" asks La Nouvelle. The democratic socialists' official organ, Humanite condemns the treaty unreservedly, saying it is a "bourgeois capitalistic peace which no socialist deputy can ratify and history will consider it a criminal breach of a sworn word and an outrage on morals and right."

Included among the passengers oi board a ship crossing the Atlantic recently was a man who stuttered. One aay he went up to the captain of the ship to speak tg him. "S-s-s-s-s-s-s " stuttered the man. "Oh, I can't be bothered." said the captain, angrily; "go to somebodv else." The man tried to speak to everybody on board the ship, but none couU wait to hear what he had to say. At last he came 10 the captain again. "Look here." said the captain, "I can tell you what to do when you want to eay anything; you should eing it." Then suddenly, in a tragic voice, the man commenced to sing; "Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? The bloomin' cook's fell overboard, and is twenty miles behind." Sandy and John were sitting in a car when a pretty girl got in and smiled at the former. He raised his hat "Do you know her?" asked the Englishman. "Oh, yes, very weel." the Scot replied. "Well, shall we go and sit over toeside her, and then you can introduce me?" asked him companion. "Wait a bit," returned the canny Scot. "She hasna paid her fare yet."

RUSS DOWAGER IN ENGLAND.

SAYS "I CAN EAT PIE AND CAKE NOW

THANKS TO PEPGEN

From Harvey's Weekly. IT would be an excellent thing if every man and woman in America would read and memorize the ! tribute which Admiral Sims paid to General Pershing the other day in the course of a Victory Loan address. It was as typical of Sims as it was fair to Pershing. Here it is: Now Just a word about John Pershing. He has had 2,000,000 men over there. No one of those men has been able to see one one-thousandth part of the operations. They run across a great many disagreeable things. They may have been charged five cents too much in a canteen, or they may have run across a Britisher or an Italian or a Frenchman that they had a row with. They come back with all sorts of small criticisms. For the Lord's sake, don't pay any attention to that and don't pay any attention to the people in this country that are yapping at John Pershing's heels. No military commander since the . world began has bad to do the stunt he has had to do. If he should have done that without any mistakes he would be the greatest military commander the world has ever heard of. He will tell you himself he has made mistakes. So have I, but I am not going to tell you about them. ' Of course we do not know the precise circumstances that caused Admiral Sims to digress from the subject of his address long enough to make these remarks. We assume, however, that before he had been in New York an houf his ears were filled with some of the monstrous stories that are being assiduously circulated about. the commander of the American forces abroad, and he thought

it. was about time that the public was warned against the scandal-mongers. For more than a year the gossips have been busy with Pershing's name. Reports that school children would not have credited have been passed around by persons of mature years. General Pershing has ;been accused of every conceivable blunder and every kind of failure, and of half the crimes on the calendar. The pity of it all Is that many of these contemptible slanders originated with returning soldiers. General Pershing has been held personally responsible for every inconvenience experienced by the individual soldier, and for every difficulty which overtook the disgruntled officer. His position was ideal' for the making of enemies. It is doubtless true that the silly attempt made by a portion of our press to place Pershing on a pedestal as one of the great military commanders of the ages, even during the first few montfis ot the war, acted as a boomerang and tended to encourage the "slanders. But this is neither here nor there. The truth of the matter is that General Pershing appears to have done well considering the terrible handicaps he worked under, and that be would have done Infinitely better if he had had the right kind of support from the War Department. His principal difficulties arose from lack of trained officers and men, "and from delays in getting supplies. If our pacifist secretary of war had not wasted a year upon the assumption that the war was 3,000 miles away, we have no doubt that many of the complaints against Pershing would never have been uttered. , .
