Now that Wisconsin has put this law upon its statute book it is to be sincerely hoped that it will see that it is rigidly enforced. = Otherwise it might as well not have takem, the trouble and time to have adopted it. Those who have desired to obstruct have been given too much emcourage- ment already by the lack of such a law and it is higsh time that they should be made to pay for their dis- loyalty. They are being deprived of no rights which as loyal citizens of this country they ought to have.

Germany is asking that poison gas be abolished in conmection with all warfare. This comes like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.

In the peace terms which have been set forth by Germany and which the bolsheviki have announced they will izea and sign there is nathing m. to insurs any permanenmecy. It will pgt mean the end of all ocon- Sict between the two countries any more than the negotiation of other peace treaties have. * jermany as might be expected is demanding a large indemnity and it i1s taking away from Russia a large glice of its best territory. Russid is being forced to this humiliating peace becagse of its present unfortunate . leadership and the condition into which thoge at the head of the present ‘government have wn it. That the bolshevik governm will have a BUCERsSAr seems probable and with the change a different sentiment will be 80 that the taking away of the Russian provinces now and plac- lng them under German control, as they geptainly will be, simply means that another situation like Alsace- Lorraine taken by Germany in the war with \France in 1870-71 and the taking by Austria of the Serbian prov- intes of Besnia and Herzegovina in 1908 1s created. That inly does not mean a per- mapent peace by any means. Tt is the foundation for future trou- ble, Rowever much it may be aiding Germany and its allies at the present time. But that of course is in line ‘with the militaristic policy of Ger- many. It is gradually leading up to the warid dom iop aim which has %o leng been cherished by the kalser. Germagy is certainly doing nothing #p bger out the claim that it does not stand for indemnities and annexa- tions. From all indications and the en- tire attitude of that country through- out the war there can be little ques- tion but what it is the latter. Strange as it may seem, Germany is asking for the elimination of the very thing which it instituted. In spite of the rules of war which prohjbit such Germany emploved poison gas for the purpose of securing an advantage, and now that it has gotten the benefit thereof and finds itself outplayed at its own game, it wants ta have it called off so that it will not be forced to suffer the effects of the advantags which now lles with its enemies. But strange as this - appeal may seem Germany, it will be noticed, is not calling for the ending of the ruth- less policy of submarine warfare, the checking of the air raids on defense- gian people, or the wiping out of sub- ject races. These things it is anxious to continue and plans to maintain even though its actions reeg with bru- tality. and injustice. Germany in other words wants to reform in part because Germany would benefit there- from but there appears to be little chance of Germany heing acéommo- dated until it is willing to put a stop to the whole list of murderous activi- ties in which it is engaged. e EDITORIAL NOTES.

Then as he thought of sis as the only person at the dark and lonnly station waiting for him, he chided himself for not thinking of it hefare and checking her overanxious desire to see him a bit sooner.

He won- dered why her lip did not return the pressure, and why she was silent. He looked eclosely, and with that look something dawned on him with terrible significance. y, it wasn't his sister; it was a stranger. Suddenly he realized that she was angry, for her bréath came in gasps, and her bosom rose and fell in rhyth- mie time to the inhalation and exhala- tion of the air through her nostrils. ‘“How dare you!” .she cried, and with her embarassment and anger came tears. He thought he ought to say some- thing, 80 mastering his surprise, as wall as his embarrassment, he said, with a twinnkie in his eye. “ Oh eome. girlie, don’t, ery; if it's only the kisses you're crying about.you may give them back to me, Pm sure 1 won't make such a fuss over them.” She did not answer, and Tom, taking advantage of the silence, let his eyes fest on her, and on aecount of the darkness, had to leok very sharply to take in every detail of ner pretty facs, the small straight nose, the large blue eves and the well poised chin. “She sure does look like sis,” he thought. “ But she is better looking: she is heautirul,” he admitted.

We are reverting to primitive ways. Like disciples of Phoreau we have gone forth and buiit huts in the woods and by the waters. Soldiers, foresters, munition workers are living in them, and the most interesting part of this little mushroom town are the huts of healing. 4 Rows and rows of little grey huts of all sorts and sizes, with smart ¥ed crosses painted on them, and legends, plainly printed, telling their respective uses. In one such, by cértain southern waters there is a . wide céntral thoroughfare, known as Pi¢cadilly, and from it branch many mud-paved streets—that down which the nurses pass to their sleeping huts being naturally known as “Petticoat Lane.” Pleasant little ‘white cubicles they have, with its eléctric light, its bed and simple sufficing suite of furniture. Here are all varieties of healing and all thé newest devices. The whirlpool baths for stiff joints are most interest- ing. They are of all heights” and shapes, to suit every possible joint, and there are even large whirlpo{ojr where a soldfer can bathe, if needful. Little nurses, Wwith chilblains, come and dip their fingers in the hot, whirl- ing waters, and find ‘it beneficial. Hard by there aré all the wonderful rotary iriachinés for loosening joints— special ones for fingers ,elbows, knees and a gracious and slim young V. A.

The hut full of electric appliances is also wonderful. There is a very powerful magnet for extracting bits -of metal from the soldiers’ eyes. Hold up a bunch of keys and it simply flies from you and fixes itself to the mag- net'’s nose! Soldiers’ Embeoidery. Full of interest is the hut for dis- playing the soldiers' work for they do wonderful embroidery and fashion ingenious» toys, and many excéllent wooden articles.

You can’t trust the German govern- ment that committed that monstrous breach of faith any more than you eould trust Jeones. Gefman people are probably well disillusioned.
