OF GREAT significance
Two of the greatest democracies of
the world have sent their most distin
guished representatives to the United
States and they have received a wel
come that is a tribute to them, their
countries and their cause as well as to
the common sense, justice and patriot
ism of the American people. The
visit of the Balfour and Jotl're mis
sion marks the final departure of
the United States from its life-long
policy of isolation and ushers it 'in
to world politics with a fevor that is
felt from one end of the land to the
other.
Through it all wo can see the Wil
son attitude from the beginning of
the war. The president strove for
over two years to keep the country
at peace, and his several utterances,
viewed under present conditions, were
made in the vain hope of making

AMERICA'S PART IN THE WAR
From a private letter written by an
American resident of London to a
fripnrl in the United States.
Real American opinion will be sat-
isked if America decides for active,
n:rticination in the war, but must'
all wish for real eltective service. m
Finance and t pplies seem to be injg
the riirht line and Roosevelt m the;s
trenches the wrong. I cannot imag-
ine anything more likely to emoar-.g
rass the successful carrying of hostil-j
ities than America tying up her ships ;
in trying to send untrained troops to a
France under Teddy, who couldn't !g
sit still in a trench if he tried. Build jj
shins, manufacture munitions, grow
food and get them over here, and, for
heavens' sake don't dislocate the un
ion hv shoutinc at the men. who know.
in command, and please suppress" half
the newspapers; they seem to me to
do infinite harm.

Americans paid merited tribute to
General Joffrc, the grand old man oi
France. It was he who saved the
vvor'd at the outbreak of the war and
he held the supreme command through
the long months when England was
preparing for the mighty conflict. A
democrat of democrats, Marshal Jof
fre was the idol of the French sol
dier, and no martial figure stands out
today more than the famous French
leader. The debt of gratitude that
America and England owe to him i
