It may seem surprising that so many high officials in the army are being disqualified for the positions which they have been holding and are demoted and assigned to other work, but it cannot help but be realized that the proper steps are being taken to find out the physically unfit before they are sent abroad and called upon to take up the strenuous work of direct. ing the activities of the forces in France. 1t is perfectly apparent that it 1s as necessary that we should have healthy afficers at the head of the commands as it is that the men should be fit for the service. We have adopted the se- lective draft for the purpose of get- ting men who are physically sound and therefore the best able to stand the hard work of army life, but it would be folly to semnd across a lot of able bodied troops to be commanded by men who are not up to the physical standard. The United States insists upon. an efficient “array, That, it must he re- alized, will be seriously impeded un- less the officers have ' the bodily strength to do their part. - And if there are those who are likely to be a handi- cap it is none too soon to find it out and to have their places filled by those who are fit. Thisreflects no discredit ¢! upon those who have been disqualified. It “will still be possible for them to render much valuable service in this country but it would be a'poor pol- iey to send generals to France who ‘would not be able to do themselves or their country justice. The weed- ing out is being done at the proper time and on the right side of the At- lantie. 1905, average .. March 16, 1918.

There can be no real cause for sur- prise in the rumor which comes by way of Switzerland to the effect that the kaiser is preparing a new peace offer for submission to tho allies by which he will endeavor to have them enter into an understanding for the termination of the war upon the basis of the return to conditions which ex- isted before the war in the west, in- cluding possibly the giving up of Al- sace-Lorraine, but with Germany given free hand in Russia to develop and de with that empire as it pleascs, Such would only be in accord ‘with the efforts which he has repeatedly made in the past. Whenever eondi- tions have appeareq to favor the can- tral powers the kaiser has taken thc opportunity- to set forth what he would be willing to do. It always included a big advantage for the central powers and of course the offer was imme- diately turned down. 2 in spite of these rebulfs it is just what might be expected now, ‘that he should endeavor to feel out the atti- iude of the allied nations upon this new proposition, but he might as well understand before he makes any such ffer that there is no chance for it to <ucceed. The allies would never con- sent to the plans which he has feor. the east any more than they would to the programme which he had map- ped out in the west. In spite of the situation in Russia the aliies are not ready to abandon that empire to the merciless hand of the kaiser. To do 0 would simply mean the admission of defeat in their war aims, In connection with the overwhelm- ing majority by which the congress of soviets at Moscow accepted the treaty with Germany, giv up the large section of Russia to the future con- trol of the German gavernment, there is an intimation that the congress was in as heipless a position as was the Rumarians when they wers forced to aceept the German terms. Following the ratification comes word that the Russians are to take ad- vantage of tife breathing spell which they wiil obtain to reorganize their army and to propare for the regain- ing of thelr loat territory and rights. How much this will amount to no one can tell. The Russions have done a ot of talking which has amounted to nothinx and this may prove to be the case in regard to fighting again, dut when those inclined to socialism take ap this cry and others stop to con- sider the position inte which the coun- try has been thrown it would seem to be a logical result if some.stable zovernment with a sound head can be organized. In the meantime, however, Germany is not going to neglect its opportunity. ‘While Russia is preparing Germany is going to be stremgtRening and un- der the present state of affairs jt wili be able to make greater strides than Russia, It would appear to bhe the wisest step for the Russians who are determined to retrieve their lost tor ritory to come to an early understand- ing with Japan and secure the assist- anece which can be gained from that direction in bincking the future men- ace to what is left of Russia and at the same time protecting the east. GERMANY AND HOLLAND. Entirely in accord with the treat- ment which is being given to the Scandinavian countries, whose ships hound for neutral Holland with sup- plies for the suffering Belgians are be- ing seized in spite of the fact that they EDITORIAL NOTES.

Lring pressure to bear upe cn Holland by the destruction of its ips or by the curtailment of these pplies which it has been getting 7rom that country in order to make it pay for the giving of assistance to the allies, % As long as Holland contributing to the aid of Germany there was no effort on the part of the allies to de- stroy its vessels or to kill the crews of those vessels. They naturally in- sisteq that goods which they furnish- od to Holland should not be transport- ed into Germany, or jn other words they demanded that allied products should not be used for tho mainte- nance of the German army under the pretense of being used for the Dutch. Put when it comes to the time when the allied nations are going to get help through Dutch shipping, by the carry- ing out of the provisions of an estab- lished law, then Germany shakes its fist in the face of Holland and declares that it will be made to pay for it. It should be remembered, however, that the taking of the Duteh ships by the allles will not be done.without compensation and that it is not’ a move which was set on foot by Hol- land. The allies are within their rights whether th® Dutch sanction the agreement proposed or not, but it is only characteristic of Germany that it should féllow the justified acts of its enemy by the same sort of unjustified conduct that it has shown through~ out the war. With graft scandals in Germany and industrial strikes in Austria, all is not clear sailing with the central powers. Ths Huns understand the advisa- bility of keeping a good -ways ahead of the American artillery.and infan- try. The man on the corner says: Men who pray for strength and energy and cpportunity to work are on the right road. In turning to the east again it is possible that Hindenburg feels that the longest way round is the surest way to Paris. It appears to be giving the enemy valuable information to state that Sec- retary of War Baler is going to the front line trenches. Many Americans are being deco- rated for heroism in France, but there will be a great many more of themr before peace'is declared. Every little cold spell reminds us of what has gone, but it is impossible now to have any serious effect upon the preparations for weicoming spring. Prussian alarm over the decreasing birth rate may be one of the reasons why the Germans are so persistent in killing the children and the unborn in other countries, The commission which investizated the unsinkable ship was not favorably impressed. That has been the genera] verdict every time a test of such a ship has been made. SHOULD BE MODIFIED. From all sections of the country there have come to Washington pro- tests against the withholding of the addresses of those who are included in the daily casuaity list. These pro- tests have not only shown the atti. tude of the country but they have been the cause of efforts being made to have the order changed, with the in- timation that some modification may result. - The sending out of a list of names, which may, because ‘of the fact that|bolsheviki will fight to the death ho there are many of the same name in|has been taking so many positions on the army and navy, result in a need- [the Russian gquestion that it is hard less lot of confusion and anxiety even|to tell what hia statement means. though the families of those actually idiled or injured are notified as in the past, has. been resorted to it is al- leged because of the attitude of Gen- eral Pershing.

Al drawer in this table holds string and unsoiled pieces of wrapping paper; un- der the table is a receptacle for waste paper. The icebox, kitechen cabinet and pantry are all on this side of the room, so all her supplies are put im- mediately in their logical places with- out any doubling of steps. Sink, work- table and range are on the other side —the working quarter of the room. POLISH WAX FLOOR. Many people like a wax finish for their floors or furniture, but do not know how te kcep it fresh and polish- ed. Almost all wax that is used on the floor has a turpentine base. If you will -put some turpentine on a oft rag or your floor mop and rub it | cver the floor, the {furpentine will soften up the wax and make it look as fresh as when the floor or furni- ture was first waxed. A good rub with a woolen cloth which is quite dry will complete the job. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Peroxide will surely bleach your skin, but at the same time makes it very dry. To prevent this massage the face with your massage cream onece daily. Do not allow the peroxide to touch the hair, eyebrows or lashes. Tomato rubbed over the hands will whiten them and this treatment is perfectly harmless, It can also be used on the face and it removes fruit or vegetable stains from the hands. Let it remain on a few minutes, then rinse off in hot water. i Be sure that your child breathes is_gnouth. | The nose ma clogged by-a growth ! or adenoids in (he throat may obstruct | the - airpassage.

As they are rich in protein, cheese salads take the place of cold dishes. The following is an inexpensive, nutritious cottage cheese salad: Mix thoroughly one pound of cheese. one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cream, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, and salt 10 taste. First, fill a rectanguiar tin mold with cold water to chill and wet the surface. After removing the water line tne bottom of the mold with waxed paper; then pack the cheese in three layers, putting two or three parallel strips of pimento lettuce leaf or chopped nuts between layers. Cover with waxed paper and set in a cool place until ready i then run a knife round the invert the mold. Cut in serve on Jettuce leaves - and chopped-nuts alse may DICTATES OF FASHION.

COLOR IN DARK FROCKS. Color is introduced into dark cos- tumes in many ways. Strings of spec- ial beads are designed to accompany the gown Deads which. repeat the bright shade which is used to touch the same sober creation in strategic places. BLACK SATIN STOCK. me of the new collars consists of a stock of black satin, unrelievad by any white. to which is attached a big jabot of fine meshed cream-colored- net, edg- ed with lace. The effect is decidedly smart, although the absence of any white in the stock might not be well borne by some faces. ' NEEDLEWORK NOTES. After embroidered sheets and pillow casgs have become worn, the mono- gram may be cut out in a circle and used again by neatly featherstitching it on the new material. Inexpensive but practieal for a pre- sent is-a roll of dust cloths. A good quality of cheesecloth should be used. A dges should a ng rhandir irst in one direc- | tion, then in the opposite, thus se- curing the hem with cross-stitching. A simple cross-stitch initial may be worked in each corner. The newest breakfast dollies are ex- teremely practical, either in the square or circular shape as they are large enough to hold the service for one person. Where four are to be seated, four squares large enough to meet at the corner are used. At a table for six the squares are somewhat smaller. Round centrepieces are used with the square doilies which are large enough to accommodate the service plate, sil- ver cup and saucer, tumbler and bread and butter plates, as well a sthe pep- per and salt shakers. Joi fi NED FORCES, A woman who had 1ot given a quan- tity of square dollies three and four inches square, put them to good ser- vice by joining them together with lace and using them on her buffet; she objected to using them separateyl and was highly pleased with the scarf that resulted from joined .forces. Squares of tan linen, .embrojdered im colors, can be joined effectively to form table runners. Of course, the lace should match the color of the linen. If you should fail to find tan to match, dip swhite or cream lace in tea. Try a little piece of lace first so you can tell if the tea is of the proper strength. USE HOOKS. There are actually women otherwise fastidious who fasten collars with plain pins! If you use any pins at all they should be small,” simple clasp pins of the kind usually known as baby pins. But pins tear the fabric of the collar and are not ecasy to adjust. For that reason it is far better.to fit your collars out with a goodly arrangement of small hooks and invisible eyes or with small loops and the small pearl but- tons that come especialy for that pur- pose_and that are almost always found on French blouses at the collar and cuft closing.
