Why does the American iotej light

many would scon have to sae for
peace, for it would be deprived of its
sword.
The sword of Germany is the swod
of all the militarism of The world. To
M'ize it and beat it into plowshares
means to make the world &afe for
demracy. That this ia-t Is lo be
given to the amies of the glorious
republic of the western hemisphere
is almost overwhelming in its ign:-
can re.
When Bismarck drove his harsh
bargain of bkoJ and iron" with
suffering France in 1&17 a far-sighted
scientist inspired him to draw the
boundaries so as to induce a.s m-arh
of The iron producing terriTcry a.s
pos5;hle. The policy of "blood aso
iron" had had a meaning more men

knew. It reilly meant a design fcr
world dominion.
It was the passesivion of the Lor
raine iron mines that roade the Ger

The lack of those mines will mean
that the kaiser and his house mnst
forever renonnce that plan.
The Germanized Lorraine rightly
belongs to France and it must be re
stored. Its restoration to our sifer
republic will not only signify the cor
rection of a great wrong, but it will
mean that the sword of Middle Eur

greater threat ever s!nce 1ST2, al
though the world dreamed on almost
unconscious, will be pat in safe hand's

THE AldXEICAN AT HOXE.
There is food for sober thought in
the assertion of Dr. Daniel A. Poling
regarding the morals of the Ameri
can soldier. That is. what Dr. Pol
ing says should make the civilian do
some careful introspection work.
"Our American soldiers are living
on a higher plane than are the men
in civil life." S3ys Dr. Poling. A very
comprehensive statement, and in few
words. The meaning of Dr. Poling,
who is an officer in the United So
ciety of Christian Endeavor, is quite
plain, is it not? The inference, too.
can be readily drawn, even by a way
faring man. It is that the "Ameri
can at home needs to bring up his
standard of morals. That is, he
should do better, in order to make
himself a fit associate for his soldier
brother, when the latter comes
marching home at the close of the
war.
Dr. Poling's words contain a hid
den warning, moreover. We are
moved to the thought that if the ie-
turning; warrior who has been on
the other side of the earth making
"ecreant nations meni their ways
finds his own people Indulging in
laxness of living, he will waste little
time in dealing with unfaithfc citi
zenship. The soldier, you see will
have become accustomed to discussing
differences with foemen at the point
of a bayonet. He will see no need
J Jove-tapping those whom lie 3 tit

oas lo do thar- behave themselves, j!
ana who proved uneciaaJ to the task.
""The American soldier is better
morally than tie American civilian..'
This 5s a stern indictment- The
Kt-crdy youTh who risks his life for
his ftJJowTaeiL, and. who decides af
terward that they were scarcely
worth the sacrifice, will be an un
pleasant young patriot for us 1o face
when his foreign service is over. The
principle of -"safety rst" would sug
gest that we begin to prepare now for
his retnming by mating ourselves

Before the war Josephus Daniels.
secreTary of The navy, came in for a
great -dal of criticism. His appoint
ment came as The res-ulT of o-jt
wrong system of appointing m-rn for
political reasons rather than because
of fitness, Some of The eritoism m?y
have been just if ed. Much of :1 wa?
justifed. 3t was substantiated by
eminent and patriotic naval eipens
who could have nothing but good
motives in mskirg such citicism.
Bet Secretary Daniels came up lo
the scratch. He tcok it goi.d-nalu.r-edly
and legan to proft by it. He
worked hard to strengthen the wek
places. When the United States en
tered the war he did not complacent
ly say that everything was in 'the
best possible shape or waste his lime
loan ins of what he was goirg to
do. Ke simply re-doubled his e "Torts.
In the past year the navy has made
a most remarkable stride forward.
Now, according to all reports, the
United States navy is in the pint of
condition and is rapidly growing, es
pecially through the additicn of ce
st royers. which lire nocessary in tLe
war a-gainst the U-boats.
This should not be a political cr
partisan war. Joseph r.s Daniels, sec
retary of the United States navy, is
said to be a democrat. But above
everything else the fact emerges
that he is an effective and patriotic
American citizen and a comTetent
executive, and we are for him.

THE HEALTH OF THE COUXTKY.
Any naTion that look; after the
health of its troops at war and deer
not give equal or more attenticn
to its people at heme is a nation that
is rowing a mighty leVry boat. To
change the Sgure, it is like barring
the windows against attack, piling
up barricades of furniture. p!aei g
sharpshooters at every crack, and
leaving the door wide open to as
sault. A good slogan for wrrtme
is the following: Take care of the
health of the whole coumry and he
health of the battle line will take
care of itself. This is particularly
true in the case of tuberculosis. And
unless a nation is willing to do this
thing it may as well ring down the
curtain. Elizabeth" Frazer it: the

PEISONERS JIUST WOES.
There has been much critcasm of
the luxurious life that German war
prisoners in this country were sup
posed to be enjoying. Whether their
treatment has been a indulgent as
the public believed is not altogether
clear. Their lot has certainlr been
pleasanter; however, than that of wsr
prisoners in other belligerent coun
tries, and probably better than most
of them deserved.
The government from now on will
hardly be accused of coddling them.
The war department has very prop
erly ordered that every prisor.er of
war shall be put at work. Nearly
1,000 have been set to building roaas
near Fort McPherson. Ga. Others
are erecting new buildings for fallow-prisoners.
.If it is decided to
bring back the prisoners captured by
Pershing's army, they too will be
given occupations. 'making them an
asset rather than a burden to the
uation. St. Joseph Gazette.
