HE Nation has erery reason to be satisfied with the results of | Registration Day. Fears and forebodings were utterly discredited. With far less disorder than attends the average election in time of peace, More than 10,000,000 youny Americans yesterday enrolled for the serious business of war. Of predicted rioting and protest there was none—not even in Milwaukee. Instead of having to force men to the registration booths, the enrollment officials found themselves fairly swamped by the rush of those ready and eager to give in their names in accordance with the law. Pacifiets, Socialists and anti-war agitators are thus proved once and for all to be but a mjserable minority when it comes to a show- down and Americans are summoned to stand by their Government. In doing its part toward putting the principle of selective military service into action, American manhood established yesterday a high standard—one which every administrative department charged with the duty of completing and carrying to its highest efficiency the selec- tive process should’note and emulate. a It may have been patriotism or it may have been habit with the man who registered twice. Whatever |i was, don't oe too hard on him. + OPEN DIPLOMACY. HERE is nothing new in the French peace terms set forth in! the resolution adopted with an overwhelming majority by} the Chamber of Deputies. ‘Ihe return of Alsace-Lorraine, the evacuation of invaded French territory, just reparation for dam | age done by the invader—these have all along been the clean-cut con- ditions insisted upon by those who speak for France. Their reiteration, however, is another sign of that open diplomacy which the allied forces of democracy are coming to regard as ground upon which a}l democratic nations must meet in future. “This reso- lution” said Premier Ribot in speaking for it, “declares that in a democracy like ours there can be no secret diplomacy. None can or wauts to finesse with the national sovereignty.” Every time issues of the war are defined or reviewed it becomes more and more clear that victory for the Allies is going to mean a final blow to Metternichian theories and methods of statecraft in Europe. | The struggle has made governments profoundly conscious of their peoples. It has made peoples terribly aware of all that dynasties and diplomats can do in secret to imperil the world’s peace. With autocracy must go its concealed politics, its devious hidden ages, its disguised plans and purposes. * will henceforth be the watchword of all self-governing who seek security ey Oe) “Open diplomacy’ ‘The Mongolia has qualified the cBampion U boat baiter among American cargo vessels.

Why does he set his heart on marrying a Iiving picture, And then secretly rage every time another man stares at her? Why does he pluck an orchid for his button-bole, And then rat! at Fate because ‘he hasn't chosen something useful, Like a cauliflower or a potato? Why does he marry an older woman because she “understands” him, And then gaze flirtatiously at every dimpled “chicken” in a tamo* ‘shanter? Why does he tle himself to a spirited feminist because he admires her pluck and dash and independence And sigh bitterly all the rest of his life because she won't hang around his neck and tell him how “wonderful” he is? What is that strange perversity in masculine nature which makes 6 man prefer the excitement of breaking a bucking bronco to driving a niee, tame little Shetland pony?
