J DISORDERS.
I No ono can clearly foresee events in
a Germany. Ebert has resigned and that
I may be the beginning of a chaotic
I state -with first one side and then the
I other of the conflicting interests bat
K tling for supremacy.
R Eventually the military forces will
I be in control and they may drift to
P Bolshevism, with the Rilled troops he
ft ing called on to establish a stable gov
ts ernment and keep down anarchy.
I When the government troops fired
It on the Spartacus paraders a mistake
It was made, which may yet involve Ger
H many in endless bloodshed.
P In the meantime, Bavaria is endeav
ftj oring to establish a republic aud even
l Saxony is seeking separate govern
K ment. The allies should encourage the
B disintegration of the old German em
K plre and try to- isolate Prussia. The

CONFISCATING THE
' AUTOMOBILES.
There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to "whether the prohibition
measure passed by the last Utah leg
islature provides for the confiscation
of automobiles illegally employed in
transporting liquors.
Before the coming law-making body
adjourns the doubt should be removed
by specifically including all forms of
vehicles or instruments of conveyance.
There is no more reprehensible prac
tice than that of trafficking in whis-'
key in a state where the people have
overwhelmingly declared for prohibi
tion, and, who ever lends or gives auto
mobiles to that traffic should" have
his machine taken from him. It is but
small punishment for one who refuses
to bow down to the majesty of the law
and accept a great moral principle of
right conduct.

THE PRESIDENT IN
EUROPE.
TCe never could quite get the mean
ing of the hullabaloo raised over the
resolve of President Wilson to go to
Europe, except that there was In the
protest a sraall-souled jealousy intend
ed to discredit the president.
At the meeting of governors Secre
tary Lane, In touching on the Presi
dent's trip abroad, said:
"I have seen criticism of the presi
dent, and so have you, for goin across
the water at this time. The spirit
which animates him in going is the
spirit of this new day. It is the spirit
of giving your hand to your neighbor.
11
It is the spirit that would make this
war the end of wars.
"The man who stands as the repre
sentative of the foremost democracy
of the world goes to Europe not that
he may march down the Champs Ely
sec, not that he may receive theplaud
its of tho French multitudes. But ho
goes to Europe as the champion of
American ideals because, he wants to
see that, out of this war,' comes some
thing worth while. He woulJ have
been derelict, he would have been -false
to his own conscience and false to our
Ideals of him if he had not stood in
Paris in person as the champion of
that principle which we 'love and those
institutions which we hope to see
spread around, the world.
"To me Woodrow Wilson in Paris
represents not the ambitions of Napo
leon, but Pasteur, the healer of the na
tion, who comes to bring peace, happi
ness and to secure gratitude from
those whose lives and homes he makes
secure."

FORECASTING OTHER
WARS.
A Boston man Is predicting more
and greater wars. Ho is Morrison I.
Swift. But no one should be unduly
alarmed, for Mr. Swift is in much the
same frame of mind as a very small
boy who has heard ghost stories and
is about to be sent upstairs to bed.
But Mr. Swift is so clever In stating
his fears as to make himself thorough
ly interesting. He says:
"New wars were rendered certain
when the American government re
sponded to the armistice overtures
and 'conversed' with Germany. The
armistice, that premature gesture of
peace, has nullified the victory of the
allies. Germany emerges from the ',
great carnage essentially whole. Her
national integrity will be spared. The
loss of a province will harm her little.
Mercy will raise its head at the peace
table and will prevail over wisdom and
common sense.
"One hundred million Americans
transferred their destiny to the keep
ing of a man or two in Washington.
That absolute abdication of the whole
people was afterward seen to be the
most awful crime a responsible democ
racy ever committed. Now the Ameri
can people have resumed that self-obliterating
role. They have effaced
themselves as political, and moral en
titles. . They have consented to play no
part In the most prodigious decisions
of all time. They have again trans
ferred their destiny to the keeping of
the same man or two from Washing
ton. Democracy cannot survive on
these terms. A hundred million people
cannot be condensed into one person
by the process of an election. When
a nation thus ceases to function, colos
sal punishment is inevitably awaiting
it. That punishment will be greater
future wars than the world has yet
known."
To all of which we say, Bosh!

. PARIS IS NOW
CHEERING.
Have you ever noted the fact that
Utah crowds at a parade do not cheer?
There may be outbursts here and
there, but as a whole the people are
not as much given to cheering as In
other parts of the United States.
At a baseball game, a prize fight or
a football contest they give way to
their emotions and yell until hoarse,
but when lined along the sidewalk or
edged up to a line-of march they are
undemonstrative.
The Parisians, we are told, are not
unlike the Utahns in this respect. A
good story comes 'from, Paris of the
change which the presence of Ameri
can soldiers has brought about In the
vocal attainments of the masses. The
doughboys have taught Paris to' cheer.
One of the Paris correspondents of
an American paper says:
"Ambassador Jusserand kept warn
ing us that Parisians did not cheer,"
said ono of the party on the George
Washington, "but so far I have seen no
signs of anything wanting In that re
spect As I drovo down the Rue Roy
ale, twenty motor trucks clattered past
with an enthusiastic cargo of dough
boys. The crowd gave them back
shout for shout, waved flag for flag."
When President Wilson rode
through tho boulevards, Paris broke
forth In cheers.
Now when Paris starts to cat Amer-
lean ice cream and chow gum, and the
boys on the back lots begin to play
baseball, the conquest will be com
plete. 1

FREEDOM OF THE
SEAS.
What is the American idea of free
dom of the seas? Here is tho answer
as given by a well-informed writer:
Private property at sea, liltc private
property on land, should be exempt
from seizure or destruction; that in
ternational law should more carefully
regulate the right of search and the
right of blockade and that from time
to time the nations through appropri
ate action should determine what may
and what may not be declared contra
band of Avar. These matters have
nothing to do with the size of naval es
tablishments, with reduction in naval
budgets, or with limitation of arma
ments. Britain may accept the American
idea of freedom of tho seas without
dismantling a single war vessel or re
ducting its naval budget by a single
penny. Is Britain prepared to concede
the principle of immunity for private
property not contraband at sea and
suitably limit the right of blockade?
Two years ago Lord Grey intimated
that Britain was prepared to make im
pbrtant concessions t,o the American
idea. What Britain's position is today
will have to be disclosed before the
world can lenow absolutely whether
freedom of tho seas reasonably inter
preted and the larger benefits of a
league of nations to maintain a peace
of justice can be brought into adjust
ment' with that position.
If the peace congress sees to it that
the world is not to be cursed with an
other Germany, such as Germany w:i
in tho early summer of 1014, freedom
of the seas need not be feared by
Great Britain or any other country.
GO FORWARD.
OGDEN!
During this reconstruction period,
the cities that first disclose confidence
in their future by pushing ahead and
shouting their advantages from the
housetops will rapidly advance in ma
terial wealth and greatly add to their
prosperity.
Ogden should bo in this vanguard,
for Ogden has the foundation on which
to build and possesses resources
worthy of attracting the attention of
the outside.
No city of the natural advantages of
Ogden has received less boosting. But
the time has come when there should
be concerted action in advertising Og
den and planning for bigger things.
Dally, letters are being received at
the Publicity Bureau inquiring as to
Ogden. Hero is one from Upland, Cal.:
"I am in receipt of the literature you
sent me. Just as soon as ray boys get
back from France, we hope lo look
over your great state. Will be sure
to call on you when we go to Ogden.
One of my sons in France is highly
pleased with Ogden and requested us
to spend the winter there."
More than one California family has
had the merits of Ogden called to their
attention through soldier boys going
through from the coast.
Our canteen workers, unconsciously,
have been adding to the fame of Og-;
den by making the stay of the soldier 1
boys en route a pleasant reminder,
and, after demobilization, the promise j
is that many of the loyal supporters I
of their country will come back to
make further study of the queen city
of the Wasatch and, perhaps, accept
Ogden as home. Let us begin to make
room for them and for thousands of
others who may be drawn here.

YOUR BOY.
Your boy has fallen,
Given his all for righteousness;
A brave defender
Of freedom from frightfulness.
None can do more
Than die for humanitv -On
a field of honor'
In the name of Christianity,
A brave defender.
Flesh of your flesh
You would have him brave and fear
less; Let your heart aches
Weep, weep not with eyes tearless.
He will not be forgotten
Who helped crush pagranism,
Ail honor to him,
We are saved from Pnissianism.
He is a hero.
Be proud of him,
Your boy who fell for liberty,
God knows his sacrifice,
It's heaven and eternity;
Think of him .as living
In realms of peace supernal;;'
Thero he will greet you
With rapture, and life eternal.
He has gained all.

NOT REAL SOLDIERS
(Salt Lake Tribune)
Beggars who claim to be veterans
of the war in France have made their
appearance in Salt Lake, and the pub
lic has been warned not to listen to
the appeals of such men for help.
The warning is timely. There are no
veterans of the great war In this coun
try who need assistance, and the beg
gars who masquerade as such should
be turned over to the police. Very
few men from overseas have reached
this part of tho country, and nearly all
of them arc cither sick or wounded.
Tho government will take care of them
until they have fully recovered and
charity Is not needed. The drafted
men recently discharged should not be
in want, and w.e do not believe any
of them have been going from door to
door asking food or money- But if any
of them should "go broke," it Is the
duty of all such to look for work. We
take it for granted that all of the men
from this state who responded to the
last draft call had jobs when they wont
Into the service, for there was a groat
