On that day, too. the conference on the Limitation 01 Armaments will

It has been suggested that Woodrow Wilson should hp present at
these solemn ceremonies.
Men from Great Britain, France. Italy, Japan and China, from tl.e
allied ranks of the battle years, will stand at the graveside. They wlU
be there because they have crossed the Atlantic or the Pacific to furlher.

leBsen the burden of armaments and lessen the cannon thundering* of
the future. That was the soartng hope of Woodrow Wilson.
Wiy the gathering be complete without the presence of the man who
was commander-in-chief of America's armies and navies and, for a t.rne.
field marshal of the world's Idealism? The Unknown Soldier fell with
arms In his hands. Is uot Woodrow Wilson a wounded comrade of the
Unknown Soldier, stricken in the same fight?
President Harding has an opportunity to do a fine and a gracious
thing. The dead boy's commander-in-chief should he at his graveside o:i
November 11. The leuder who stormed, well-nigh single-handed, the
castle-keeps of militarism and who swung the world to peaks of idealism

leuders of the great powers seeking the road to disarmament when ev
come to Arlington on Armistice Day - l'hlladel:>l: a Public Lcduer.
TRUTH ABOUT PROHlU.niON
What is the truth about prohibition in America? asks the Manches
ter (Eng.) Guardian. This question is on its way to as wide-spread «
\ogue and celebrity as the question that has agitated the worid since
191", "What is the truth abo.it Russia?" Few Americans seem able to
rnawer it. and they live under prohibitum, perhaps an Engi.s judgi.seht
because it is detached, is rather better than our own
We gather front the Manchester r.uavdlan \U00 mii distant from
cur Sahara outposts, that the 18th amendment is in no danger of im
mediate repeal. According to the evidence it has secured, there is among
us "manifestly a great reduction in actual drunkenness ai d in the di
version of money from t.ie working man's pockets to the dram shop."
whije "the wives and mothers of the working class now receive a far
greater proportion of the wages of the men folk, and also have recently
acquired the vote." The women of America, in snort, will take care that
the saloon never comes back.
The Guardian thinks the English "hear too much of lawbreaking In
ii few great cities and too little ol the hp'i"fil:. exeitid :.y t. is gr^at ex
periment among the masses of the nation."—Ketchikan Chronicle.
