The prospects are excellent that many will be home for Christmas, FEEDING THE ENEMY. No slight task is involved in the feeding of the allied nations of Bu- rope to £ay nothing of the extra bur- den of taking care of the wants of the eentral powers, We have been te- sponding zeneronsiy (o the eall of the nations which have been fighting with us, and we have at the same time been logking out for the requirements of certain neutral nations which entered into an agreement to keep all such supplies or their ecuivalent from the «nemy And all during this time there have been cartain sources of supp which h: bemn very Feavily drawn upon e of the insuffi- cient amount of shipping. But now that the war is ended, now that it has been revealed that the ene- my nations are likely to suffer from a shortage of food and when cries for Lelp are coming from starving Per- sig, the problem Is greatly increased. Under such eircumstances it is but preper that attention should be given to the countries which have been stor- ing up crops for a long perled of time. That we should show a dispo- sition to give food to the suffering is cnly proper. That is the duty of a civilized nation and it can besappre- ciated that such action is bound ta put an end the quicker to disordsr, “wut while Germany to be allowel to use its shins to get food, there veems to be no good reason why those vessels should not be put into ser- vice and sent to the more distant points for these long stordd crops. It may take a little longer than to load them in this country but there is no good reason why these should not share some of the inegnven- ience. And when it is neces- sary te ship food from here it might Le well to see that instead of the ene- my nations getting our best wheat that they should be put on the sub- stitute restrictions, THE SUB CHASERS. Just what action is to be taken rel- ative to the completion of the con- trect for the submarine chasers which have been termed Eagles has not a¥ yet been revealed. It is quite avident that the need for which these fast and lght draft boats were being constructed no longer existe. The sub- raarines have ceased (o be a menace for they have been withdrawn and are to be turned over to the allies un- der the terms of the armistice, Some time ago it was announced ihat one of the Eagles had been fin- ished and that it was espected that others would be turned out at the ra‘e ef ope a day. There were to he 200 in all, the construction being at a viant which Mr. Ford ereoted bu: where it 18 tinderstood that the gov- ernment met the expenss and under the agreement Mr, Ford carried on the work without profit as one of his contributions to the war work. - «Up to the signing of the armistice only the one boat had been compieted. Others are of course underway and a large number .could be finished by next summer, but with the war over ['ble to continue the work. Many part: have undoubtedly been finished and the general progress may be such that instead of stopping the work where it is it would be better to carry out ttc Lcontract and turn the boats to such other use as could be made of them. The Eagles are to be 200 feet long and it would seem that a use could be feund for them along commercial lines which would make it possible to prevent & complete loss of the monev which has been spent upon them, i case of course it is a fact thai th navy will have no ase to which thev could be put outside of serving as chasers, . BULGARIA, Tt is impossible to'tell of course how Bulgaria is going to fare in the final adjustment. rests with the peace confercnce and it is to be expected that it will deal as thorouzhly and fully ‘with that coun try as with the ,other allies of Ger- many. any great’ amount of leniency should be shown to that country. It is en- the fact that they were the first ¢ hreak away from the sunport of Ger- many and make a break in the choin of nations which was to form the nucleus of the central empire of En- rope and thus hastened the end cf the war. It may be that they wili claim that they lessened the expensz slaughter by acting as they dil and that they should zet proper compen- ration for such action, but it must be realized that Bulgaria did not give up until it had been fully convincad that it had been given a severe drubbing "nd could net continue the war, and hat its unconditional sutrénder was necessary in order to prevent a bad situation from becoming worse.

In certain circles there is a feeling that Germany is not sinecere in man: of the steps which are being taken | ihat country at the pi tainly actions are decidedly t inclinations but it 1 that Germa different position to w has in the past. It realizes or thers re at least reasons to suppori the belief. that it has got to facc the new crder of thin and bring about the reforms and readjustments that are called for and the quicker it is done the quicker a stabilization of its af- fairs can be brought about. It is quite evident that there new hands at the helm apd that raore clearly manifested than hy declaration of Dr. Solf, the new foreien of Germany, favorable to te for the people of Schles- wig-TITolstein in crder that the people in that province now under thc con- trol of Cermany may determire by vote -as to whether they shall con- tinue under German rule or gZo baci under the Danish rul, where they were hefore Germany tool them under its wing way back over a haif cen- tury ago. Whether this is put forth in all sin- cerity, or whether it is simply an ef- fort to pacify those people and pre- vent further unrest will be revealed by what takes place along that line, hut it certainly shbws a decided change in the German foreign office. Although this action was promised to the neople of Schleswig vears and years ago, there is no evidenee 1hat it was a promise that was intended to be kept. No one " can imagine Germany such a thing even earried out now on for think- tarted on a nt time. Cer- eontrarv i3 to be cidedly no doing ing that Germany has P d of much peeded reform. Even now however the fulfillment must be witnessed before much faith will be placed in it. EDITORIAL NOTES. We can expect that Dr, Self will b: sending over most any day a list cf what he wants for Christmas. The Germans are now appealing for protection against the Alsatian peo- ple. How the mighty have fallin! The man on the cormer says: Nex: to the conscienceless monarch the heel of custom is one of the world’s great oppressors. It is certainly a fact that the wea- therman is proving a most valuable aid to the fellow swho is engaged in coal conservation. After what the men at the fighting f:ont have experienced and seen it might be well to refer the German ap- peals for leniency to them, The mistake should not be made of thinking that because the armistice kas been signed that the conservat®n which has been so carefuily practiced can be totally disregarded. The passage of the prohibition bill tc become effective next July as a way measure looks very much now as if it would figsure mueh meore prominent- 1y in connection with peace than with war. Now it is declared that the ex-kaiser is to go back to Germany. Probably he wants to be named on the com- mission to come to this country to plead for leniency for nimself and family. The ending of the war is going to mean such a letting up in certain di- rections that many people whe have been actively engaged without finan- cial recompense are likely to ' feel lonesome. Possibly the women of this country will be disposed to hasten to the re- lief of Germany in response to the appeal of the women of that country, But we have our dombts. Germany has made its own bed. Some one will probably bob up and attempt to start a fund for the desti- tute workers in the war industries.

From the wine cellar of one Frenchman alone the Germans took 5,000 bottles of cham- pagne, 10000 quarts of red wines in bottles and drained 30 enormous casks The advance guard of the Germans helped themsclves liberally to the wine.
