tality has Increased distressingly. There are no figuro3 available for thes items, but they must aggregate many hundreds of thousands of lives. Added to the army death"?, thi would make I'.OOO.000 or moTe of actual deaths due to tie war. Normally they would more than be made up ty the excess of births. Iiut here com? what is possibly the most serious part of the whole business. The German birth rat" has actually dropped helv the civilian death rate. Normally there is an excess of births over deaths of about 820.000. It Is known that

fcince the war Legan there has been an average loss of 10 percent. Only 80 habie. have been born where there used to he 100. Except for the war, there would have been by this time an excess of nearly ",000,000 births to offset the 2.000,000 loss referred to above. Dut as matters ttand. this .1,000,000 of baby recruits is worse than non-existent. We must actually add something to that 2,000.000 to get the net loss to Germany's population. If we reckon, in the total loss, all these babies-that-might-have-been, we nee that Germany, by plunging the world into war, has already lost no less than 5,000.000 lives. And today, with the constant army losa and trie steadily tinking birth rate, she is losing faster than ever. This mournful truth is one of the biggest factors in the present German desire for peace.

DANCING. We knew the dancing world would eventually see its fault and follow us. A deft-footed gentleman named Shawn, touted as "a noted exponent of the poetry of motion." maintains that our dancing is all wrong, and has got to be reformed. M- elucidates a3 follows; "The reformation of the modern dance requires the introduction of the principles of esthetic movement. As a dissipation the dance is as bad as no recreation. It must be brought to the plane- of culture to make it give its fundamental benefit to the individual and the nation. "The American dame for men should be masculine. It should teach neither the extreme Russian guper-tcchnique nor the extreme of effeminate ballroom gyrations now engaged in by many, devotees." Very likely very likely. .Let everybody sit out tho next dance. We always did. Things are coming our way. y

MILITARY PARADES. Heretofore the nation has taken the training of our new armies largely on faith. Civilian eyes have seldom been permitted to see our ßoldier boys either in process of development or in their finished state. Now that is changed. The Sammies are to march in public with bands playing and flags flying, like their predecessors of former wars. There was an experimental parade of national army troops in New York the other day, and it had such a fine effect that the secretary of war has ordered army commanders to let their hove parade hereafter in cities and towns near their training camps whenever there is any proper occasion. The public -ill rejoice at the chance to get better acquainted with the new-fledged fighters. And the sol diers themselves will feel all the better for it, and tight all the better when the time comes. Parades may be a sort of child's play, r.ut we're all children. They do hearten an army and a nation.

with this lat spell of weather, he's a hyphenated traitor, fit for the firing squad.

MGHTLVC; OK AMBUSCADE? ( Iinlianaielis Times.) Is the next national campaign, insofar as the republican party is concerned, to be an open, clean cut light or an ambuscade? The answer may be deduced with reasonable certainty from the action of the republican national committee in St. Louis today. lloise I nrose. as the dispatch to The Times yesterday said, "holding the whip hand" is. of course, an ideal person to dominate the executive body of the republican party at, a time when it is deciding on its attitude toward a "war for democracy." Mr. Penrose has been one of our most devout and vigorous exponents of political kaiserism. If there it; named a national chairman with Mr. Penrose's Iron Cross gr."-cing his manly chest we may expect the next campaign to be an open tight, with the republican party coming out not against war but against a war for democracy. ' The autocratic regime of which Penrose is a product would be for that sort of war which would be planned and executed by the superior people of the I'nited States, The superior people are,' of course, in Mr. Penrose's opinion, the republican leaders who believe as he does, that they know so much better than the ranK and file what is good for the latter. Mr. Penrose and his following have not sensed the fact, that this new doctrine, "tho governed shall have a voice in their government." has taken hold of the American people to such an extent that they except it to be applied to the affairs of political parties. Having failed to realize this Mr. Penrose might be expected to ask that the republican party declare for a war for democracy prosecuted autocratically anil led by prhilege which, by virtue of it power to direct, would, in the end. see to it that no harm came to privilege hre in the I'nited States and that the autocratic power of superior ptrsons, like himself, was in no wise disturbed. Opposed to Mr. Penrose are those republicans who believe with him that the superior people must rul.-, but also, they have a better appreciation of the spirit of the American people since our entrance in the wir and since Pres't Wilson made it so plain that this is a war for democracy, not for Kurope alone, but for oil nations of the world, including these I'nited States of America. Thse republicans realize trat if the direction of this war is to be taken over by the superior people of th republican party, this must be brought about with enough cunning t prevent the general public from discovering that the republican opposition is not so much ncainst democrats as tuch. . or Pres't Wilson as an individual, as against the very fundamentals for which we aro tightin;; and under Wil.-oman leadership. The successful campaign along this line requires cunning, dissembling of a frnishPd sort. It means righting from ambush and under (tner: pretending to be for something in order to acooirp'Udi something lse. With a remarkable record in this line behind him in Indiana, it is not surprising that Will Hays should b in favor with those who realize that open opposition to the fundamentals of the war is political suicide. The big Mue.-tion in St. Louis today isn't who shall be the national chairman for the republican party. It i- whether or not the next national campaign, from threpublican side, is to be an open fght or an ambuscade.

"Come Take Pot Luck With Us

ovi:it iu:m:. By James J. Montague. I know the war map like a book, along the Itiver Marne. Which flows, as every one should know, out yonder by th" barn; I've seen the Teutons driven back; I saw them pause and stop Pefore'the lire that hurled them bak to Parney's blacksmith shop: And later on, along the Mouse, i saw th Germans run When half-a-dozen doughty lads repulsed them at Verdun; Again I saw in frantic flight the haughty Prussian guard Across the Oise, right where it wends its way past our back yard. I watched the Dardanelles campaign, and saw the allied fleet Give up the fight and sail away along the village street. And presently I thrilled to see the Turks capitulate And give up old Jerusalem, down by the orchard gate. And by and by at Petrograd, which lies, as you're aware. Behind the biggest apple tre I'll see the Russian bear Cease cowering within his cave and with a savage growl Descend upon the German hordes and make them fairly howl Although I've never crossed the sea, I've seen the submarines Blown up by our brave lighting men in many exciting scenes. And just outside of New- York bay, I've seen our warships meet And fend forthwith to Davy Jones' the mighty German fleet. For seven sons of Uncle Sam, though still too young to go Beside their brothers over there to fight the common foe, Have fought the war before my eyes, and still their martial drum Is rolling out to celebrate the victories to come.

"Finally in January, 1917, when he Bethmann-IIollweg was again talking of peace, I said, 'What are these peace terms to which you refer continually? Will you allow me to ask a few questions as to the specific terms of peace? First, are the Germans willing to withdraw from Belgium'." The chancellor answered, 'Yes, but with guarantees. I said, 'What are these guarantees?' He said, 'We must possibly have the forts of Liege and Namur; we must have other forts and garrisons throughout Belgium. We must have possession of the railroad lines. We must have possession of the ports and other means of communication. The Belgians will not be allowed to maintain an army, but we must lie allowed to maintain a large army in Belgium. We must have tho commercial control of Belgium. I said, 'I do not see that you have left much for the Belgians except that King Albert will have the right to reside in Brussels with an honor guard.' And tho chancellor said, 'We can not allow Belgium to be an outpost of England'; and I said, 'I do not suppose the English, on the other hand, wish it to become an outpost of Germany, especially as von Tirpitz has said that the coast of Flanders should be retained in order to make war on England and America.' I continued. 'How about northern France?' He said. 'We are willing to leave northern France, but there must be a rectification of the frontier.' I said. 'How about the eastern frontier?' He said, 'We must have a very substantial rectification of our frontier.' I said. 'How about Uoumania?' He said. 'We shall leave Bulgaria to deal with Pioumnia.' I said. 'How about Serbia?' He said. 'A very small Serbia may be allowed to exist, but that is a question for Austria. Austria must bo left to do what she wishes to Italy, and we must have indemnities from all the countries

and all our ships and colonies back.' j "Of course, 'rectification of the frontier' is a polite term fur 'an-1 nexation.' " j (James W. Gerard: My Four j Years in Germany, 11 IT. pp. j 363-366.) "When Scheidemann sent the nies-' sage out into the world that what! was French should again be French j and w hat was Belgian again Belgian, j the Paris Journal could conclude, from its point of view that German . policy would sacrifice its national interests to those of the world. But we. of the great majority at home, '. and the compact front out there. protest that German soldiers should j

not give their blood in order that it should become a fertilizer for culture to those who hate us from the bottom ef their hearts. We need but one tiling. namelv.

traveled, as I have done, through the occupied districts of France will agree with me that so much damage has ben done to industrial property that no one need be a prophet order to say that it w ill take moro than 10 years before wc need think of France as a competitor or ejf the rcestablishment of French industry." (Deputy Beumer in the Prussian Diet, week of Feb. L'0-27. London Times, Feb. 27, 1917. Than the above passage there is nothing more cnical and cruel in this compilation. For the utter desolation which the Germans have wrought in the occupied territory there is here revealed a deeper motive. Sec below also.) "As a result of the experiences of this war the enemy countries will so protect themselves that their economically valuable possessions 'dose to tho frontier can not again bo overrun so easily as was the case this time. We can not give up Longwy and Briey, because in a new war it will be impossible for us again to be in Longwy in 2 4 hours and in Liege in four days." (Deputy Fuhrmann in the Prussian Diet, week of Feb. 2 02 7, 1017. London Times, Feb. 27.) "We must also secure ourselves

for the future. New sacrifices re-k

quire new compensations, new demands. A sufficient war indemnity is necessary to guard against tho dangers of the future, and also for

me resumption oi economic competition. If our enemies are really not able to pay an indemnity, for what purpose, then, have we territory of economic value in our hands conquered with our blood? Courland and Livonia offer ground for colonization. With them we can also protect the interests of the Baltic population. At Briey and Longwy we find coal and iron ore. The harbor of Antwerp we cannot do without; if we possess this, the individuality of the Flemish population can also be protected. "The military safety of our frontiers must be attained even if military and economic objection thereto exist. As in the east our Hank must be protected, so also must the right Hank of our west front. Consequently the high defensive and offensive value of the Flemish coast is very obvious in strengthening our positions against England. Germany must be invincil.de." (Count von Westarp, leader of the Conservative party, in the reiehstag. Feb. 27. 1117, quoted in the London Times, March 1, 1'tlT.

ticular style in lies. But there is one lie, the great-grandfather of them all, that has never, sinco its first appearance, been off duty. U is, I think the general staffs favorHe. I refer to that scarred but still indomitable old veteran, A-Wall-Street-War. It is, perhaps, the most puerile of Germany's first-line lies, but certainly the hardest worked. It has never had a. day off since it marched to the front, and just now, it is especially prominent. Its duty is, of course, to divide public opinion in this country and to foster dissension between capital and labor, between employer and employed. And its every success, no matter how slight, delays the prosecution of the war. It never had a leg to stand on. but in some miraculous way it still endures. A schcolboy could effectually dispose of it without any trouble, but, perhaps merely because it is beneath contempt, it has been allowed to go on its silly, sneaking way. A Wall street war! Yes, if Wall st. arranged the sinking of the Lusitania, caused the rape of Belgium and wrote the Zimmerman letter. A war begun by capital? Certainly, if you will credit capital with being so unselfish as to renounce rich profits it was garnering. German proparandists weep crocodile tears for the laboring man. But the laboring man himself is far too busy to do any sniflling. Since the war began he has been enthroned a practical dictator. lie receives wages that, in spite of increased cost of living, affecting rich and poor alike, place him in a position of prosperity he scarcely dreamed of before. He sees many of his most Utopian visions, government ownership of railroads, government control of public utilities and the like, made concrete as by the wave of a magic wand. He knows that the influence of the war. on the future of this and all other countries Avill be all in his favor. This war is neither a rich man's war nor a poor man's war. neither a war of capital nor a war of labor. It is a war of the American people for liberty and all the things they hold dear. And it is a war that is being fought by rich and poor, capitalist and laborer side Inside, and that will continue to be so fought until it is ended in thr only way it can he allowed to end; and this in spite of German arms and German propaganda. And it spite, too, of the old and battered, but still active, A-Wall-Street-War lie. A joke's a joke, hut really someone ought to i. Jt that out of its misery RALPH H. BFTLEB. of The Vigilan'es.
