EDITORIAL PAGE I
A PREDICTION VERIFIED
One of - the many war predic
tions commonly made before
the first engagements were re
ported has been verified. There
is no longer any doubt that those
who said Germany could not again
■win an unbroken serifs of victories
and keep the fighting altogether
la the enemy's territory, have
beea justified by events, wholly
irrespective of the ultimate result
of the tremendous struggle.
Prance has taken one important
city in Germany. French troops
have evidently driven back Ger
man forces, apparently much out
numbered and probably of no
great size or strength. There has
been a good deal of blood spilled
ob German soil, close to the
western frontier of the empire.
In 1870 nothing of the kind
happened. Then the French
gained th? advantage in one out
post affair at Saarbrucken, just
over the German border. It af
forded "Xapoleon the Little" op
portunity to send to Paris a vain
glorious dispatch saying that the
Prince Imperial, destined ulti
mately to perish in, one of. Eng
land's wars with South African
savages, had %• received his "bap
tism of fire." After that the story
was all of one kind. German vic
tories followed one another in
quick succession. Everywhere the
French were beaten back upon
their own ground. From the
Rhine to Paris and beyond was a
German triumph.
The earliest stages of the war.
at least, are different now, what
ever its outcome.
The war is now big enough so
that any nation not restrained by
the prompting of common sense
can horn in.
There Beema to be a suspicion
that the strange vessel in the Gulf
of St. .Lawrence may be none other
than the Flying Dutchman.
Having conferred a military
medal oa the King of Belgium,
France might well confer another
on every Belgian soldier.
The militant suffragettes released
from British prisons may vet b«»
of public service as instructors iu
the art of fasting.
The citizens who advertiser the
loas of a black brindle Freuch bull
dog should get on the trail of some
long, low, rakish-looking dachs
hund.
The dispatches do not say
whether the customs officers
sealed up the wireless rooms with
wax'.eaa seals.
Moreover, Captain Kidd could
have had the time of his life if
he had not lived a couple of cen
turies too soon.
Germany 6eems to expect her
children abroad to put a great deal
of faith in the theory that no news
is good news.
Then there's a certain humor ii
the thought of the board of edu
cation member who went to Eu
rope to get a little peace and quiet.
It is hoped the Womec's Civic
Federation will not declare war on
the board of education while one
your-parler is left unpoured.
Senator Burton's remarks would
be even more absorbing if he would
tell "what is going to briug about
peace ia Europe.
Ks>w York reports Rhine wine,
as up 18 a case, but refrains from
mentioning Limburg's celebrated
products as strong at any price.
The boom iu the tin plate aud
canning businesses is due to strike
the can opener industry at any
minute.
=====
It was left to Toledo, Ohio, to
remind the country that Mr. Brand
Whitlock is serving as minister to
Belgium.
On their way through Lorraine,
it may be presumed, the French
troops are not greatly annoyed by
a hostile populace.
Now that war prices have struck
automobiles tires, there is no tell
ing how much longer tennis balls
will escape.
The announcement that Monte
negro considers itself In a state of
wur may be only another example
of the force of habit.
Beins the "cockpit or Europe"
is a distinction which Belgium
could get aloug without just as
well now as formerly.
A Detroit hospital ia to have an
automobile operating room for
rush cases. Evidently some scheme
to save the surgeons time.
