Show Chips and Shavings Shav-ings From Lark ;. The King of England with the Kaiser Kai-ser and the Crown Prince, in recent speeches, have alluded to the armies and navies of England and Germany as "my" army and "my" navy. Right there is a fundamental distinction be-twen be-twen the autocratic powers and our popular government President Wilson, Wil-son, thought commander-in-chief of our army and navy, would never speak of them as "my" army and navy. Our army and navy belong to the people and the president ns commander of them, only because he represents the people. On the contrary the autocratic autocra-tic powers, and their minions, command com-mand the army and navy, not because of any right or authority granted them by the people, but only because they have control and keep it. They consider con-sider the army and navy as theirs and the empire and its people theirs also. Let us pray that one result of this terrible ter-rible war will be that the people of those countries will be able to choose their own rulers, and that they and not their rulers will have control of their naval and military forces.
