Thi stipulation of the pact tarul out in clear distinction: "The five Covernrnents azree that when term of peace come to be dicused no one of the allie-- will demand conditions of peaco without previous aprecment of each of the other allies." Since the Mjrnatorie to such a bind-i- n it pledge are Great Britain, France. Iitusia, Italy and Japan, it not only s appears that Mr. Ford's mission is but also that it will be more hopels. difficult for any of these five powers to cet out of the war than it was for all of them to fret into it. That word 'eachf is one of the small atoms of speech, only four letters, and not. indicative of strencth. when standin.tr alone; but its position in this covenant Rives it a binding force that may cement or shatter the old world according as the five cov-rmmrn- concerned stand or fall der such an agreement. Mr. Ford's expedition is ts un- phil- anthropic and laudable, but premature. Not one of the five governments arrayed or? the side of battle where he miirht hope to pet an attentive hearing actuated by motives of humanity is ready to listen to peace proposals for itself nor for any of the other four.

Democir afts Balk ' s, That" President Wilson's ' preparedness " program is not to have smooth sailing during the coming session of Congress is already evidenced by the attitude of some members of his party. Indeed, according to the press of the country, the talk within the Democratic party is even more embarrassing to the President than was the defection of Mr. Bryan. There is a very comprehensive article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for December 4th which gives a summary of American newspaper opinion upon his phase of American politics. Readers of this number of THE LITERARY DIGEST will also be interested in the very comprehensive description of the pros aW cons of the recently enacted Seamen's Law which, in the opinion of many people, will result in driving American ships from the high seas. Opinions from various quarters are cited and the article gives a full perspective of the subject.

Just here is world, and yet there are world-event' where "The Digest' performs an indispensable service. A skilled staff of editorial specialists read the principal publications published everywhere and from them glean the FACTS in the news. This material is then arranged in an easily-graspe- d style and presented in the pages of THE LITERARY DIGEST for the convenience of its 1,500,000 readers giving, in the words of Hall Caine, the distinguished English novelist, unprejudiced presentation of the thought of the world." nothing short of a "non-partisa- n If you arc not a regular reader of THE LITERARY DIGEST you should by all means commence with this ' week's number. hard-presse- s, BOYS OUTDOORS CONSISTENT at least is the action Thompson Seton, the in from the boy resigning naturalist, scout movement which he helped inaugurate.
