WHAT 18 AILING.
The New York Tribune, usually
able and readlbl*. is In h alai<- "f
mind about something. but no one
aanma to know Just where the trou
ble lie*. It quote* from a norres
reapondent whose communication
bears the stamp of approval, and
whom It denominates one of Wil
son'* “moat communicative advis
ors," as follow*:
•'Don't fool the American people.
I am nfrald there is an Irnpreaalon
throughout the land that a very
(treat deal has b*et> accomplished.
Tht» Is a time of all other* when It
Is up to th* newspaper* to tell the
truth • • • A* a matter of
fact very little har been accomp
lished, .specially It. the navy and
war department. Our unprepared
nexs to strike a blow ia literally »p
--pultlng."
What shall w* do to get busy
The navy I* rotten Instead of ready
and th*. army l» ditto by a larae
majority, and "our unpreparedneas
to strike a blow Is literally appall
ing." Will the Tribune tell what's
to be done that Isn't being done?
Large bodies move slowly and you
can't whoop up an elephant Ika
you would a pony. It Is possible
that In Ita solicitude for the Amer
ican people It may have-overlook
ed the possibility, of Itself belli*
fooled. In What particular could
there he finer speeding qualities
displayed?
In regard to our unpreparedn*»s
to strike a blow being so appalling,
any blow to be a telling blow would
have to have a r-ach of 3.000 miles
across the Atlantic. Our advanc
ing Is Just now worse hampered in
this respect than we have ever
been, although putting up a d.s
pe.ats light. There Is nothing ap
palling ebuUt this delay In view of
the fact that when the Impending
blow Is delivered its force will he
cumulative. It will be such a blow
as that the whole world will he fill
ed with Its rvvciberulluns and the
very stare will trnnhle In their or
bits. That Is the kind of a blow we
will strike when we gel reedy to
Strike. The , rib tine need not he
prematurely appalled, hut Watt for
the .big ex plosion There will he
pyrotechnics and thunder enough
io go around when the big noise
goes off and don't you fret.
ABDICATION OF CON&TANTINE.
Constantin* 1, King of Ureeee.
ha# abdicated hi# crown In favor
of his second son, Insttod of
the clown prince, thus selling
aside the order of succession. The
abdication was In consequence of
pressure brought to bear by the
entente allies with whose prin
ciple* Constantine was not In sym
pelhy His consort. Queen Sophie,
is e sister ol kaiser Wilhelm, the
Oernian emperor, und both were
distinctly pro-Uenuan. Consequent
ly the abdication of the king Is re
garded as an ally victory. Aa the

ally Itsstt with the entente end en

r.Us it also opens up an avenue
by Which an attack ran be made
upon Turkey and It pavee the way
fur Veiteclloa to return to power.
Venesllos has of recent years beon
the popular Idol with the masses,
end now that the government and
the people ure supposed to be of
one mind he cart proceed with re
organisation of the forces of the
kingdom on the side of the entente
elite.-. Greece is a constitutional
monarchy, but with a pro-Uertnati
i tiler at the head of the govern
ment, its constitutional provisions
were neutralised and In reality It
wus more like a despotism
The accession of Alexander to
the throne of Greece ts the first
etep towards genulnle democracy
since it was done through the Instru
mentality of the French Senator,
M Jouart, the representative ot
I ranee, Great Britain and Husela,
and It was done by end with the con
sent of the people of Greece. More

THE SECOND WIND.
This is addressed to the fellow who works in a chair,
not to him who stands and twists and bends and stoops and
generally speaking keeps his muscular engine going like a
set of twin-six cylinders.
But a man’s a man, and time again there are rugs to
heat and screens to hang and in these latter days war-gar
dens to spade, plant and cultivate. And the chap whose
daily work is performed from the depths of a swivel chair is
muscled neither for the beating of rugs nor the hanging of
screens.
At the end of a half-hour a spade becomes to Mr. Swivel
Chair an instrument of diabolical torture. His breath comes
in fitful gusts, or doesn’t come at all; his temples throb, and
when, after having been bent over the spade for five min
utes, he attempts to straighten up he’s nauseated by a fear
that never again will he walk upright, in panic he sees him
self forced to go through the rest of existence on all fours.
But a man’s a man even if life has coupled him up with
a swivel chair. Disheartened, unnerved, he nonetheless
tackles the job anew and, 10, before an hour is up he has
found his second wind.
That glorious second wind! Gradually it comes, and
with it come great man-size breaths and heart pumpings
that don’t sputter. Sweat, that a short time before seemed
a thing of fetidness in which to wallow, becomes a bath of
coolness. Mr. Swivel Chair completes his job of brawn in
high fettle.
But remember this:—The new strength comes not until
the old has been exerted. Lay down on the job, quit, and
the powers originally yours are taken from you. Bust
ahead and, as sure as life is a sensible struggle and not a
purposeless floundering of blind forces, strength to over
come is vouchsafed.
A TIP FROM WEBSTER.
About a year ago a young felloty finished school and
went to work. His father wrote him a congratulatory
note saying that he was glad his son had “secured a posi
tion”. The,son replied something like this:
•'Dr»»r Dad: I wa« gia«J to get your Better, but you are all
wrong. I haven't 'secured a position’ and I hope I never will.
What I have done i« to get a Job, a chance to work. You are
wrong on both accounts. If you don't believe It look It up in
Webster
“ ‘Secured’ 1* to ’make safe beyond hazard. I’m just getting
started on this Job. 1 may get fired tomorrow. I haven’t made
It safe beyond hazard. I never ran unless I get to own the bus
iness. Even then there may be a fire or a slump in business
or I may lose my mind.
” ‘Position’ means a fixed place, and believe me I don’t con
sider that I have a fixed place. Nos if I can help it. I want to
go ahead, go somewhere. I’d consider that I was a pretty poor
stick to have reached my limit, a position, at 33.
"I suppose you might say a traffic policeman on a little box
at a street corner has a position providing he has lost ambition
to become a captain and have a comfortable office with better
pay. 1 suppose you might way that an old bookkeeper in a bank
has a position if he had seen a dozen youngsters move past
him to better pay, and he had decided that he never could be
come cashier or teller and was resigned to hia fate.
"Hut not I, daddy dear. Take a tip from Webster, f didn’t
'secure a position.' I may get fired, but I'd rather get fired
than secure a position when there's so much room ahead.”
The boy wan right. He may never get there, but he’s
on his way. You get a job and stick to it as long as you see
it isn’t leading to a position. Don’t worry about whether
you are getting wages or salary. If you do the work the
salary will take care of itself. That is, of course, if the job
is one for which you are adapted.
A position is ju»st as small as the man who fills it. A
job is just as big as the man makes it.
A Peace oi the Peoples
Tbs British note to the Russian
provision;!.! government contains an
unqualified Indorsement Of the aims
and objects of the war as defined in
President Wilson's address to congress
April 2nd:
The Brltleh government heartily
Join with their Russian allies In
their acceptance and approval of
the principles laid down by Presi
dent Wilson In his historic mes
sage to th« American congress.
There ere the alms on which the
British peoples are fighting. These
are the principles by which their
war policy Is and will be guided.
To thle end the Brltleh government
expresses Its readiness "to exumine
and, If need be, to revise these agree
ments" With Its allies. Including Rus
sia The text of these agreement* Its*
never been made public, hut the wil
lingness of the Brltleh government to
make them conform to the president'*
war address mark* a long step In the
way of a peace that will represent the
peoples rather than the governments
of the belligerents.
The pilndples tq which J.ondon
has subscribed in Its Indorsement ol
the address of April 2nd are set forth
In this paragraph:
The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must lie
planted upon tested foundations
of political liberty. We have no
selfish ends to serve. We desire
no conquest, no dominion. t\ e
seek no Indemnities for ourselves,
no material compensation for the
sacrifices we shall freely make.
We are hut one of the champions
of the rights of mankind. We
shull be satisfied when those righls
have heen made a* secure as the
faith and freedom of the nation*
can make them.

MERCHANTS WHO INVEST IN AUGUSTA HERALD ADVERTISING GET LARGE PROFITS
This declaration of faith is made
more specific in the president's note
to the Russian government, but there
is no modification of the aims and
objects originally expressed.
In this connection it is highly sig
nificant that the German government
permitted the publication of the pres
ident's note So Russia, and it is easy
to believe the dispatches from The
Hague that "the document is reported
to have caused a sensation.”
In spite of the Kaiser's parrot-like
reiteration of the Bernhardt formula
that " we still cling to the one thought
with \9hich we are all imbued, and
that is to break the enemy’s will to
war," the German will to war cannot
stand up Indefinitely under the bom
bardment of such appeals as the pres
ident has made to liberty and univer
sal democracy. Unless the German
government is Inviting a new discus
sion of peace und Is preparing again
to make overtures. It might better have
lost a battle than to have put the
Wilson note to Russia into the hands
of the German people. Against that
kind of ammunition autocracy is with
out defense.
It is reported from Washington that'
ttie president is preparing in his flag
day address tomorrow to restate the
alms and nbjecta of the United States
111 this war. He cannot repeat them
too Often, not merely for the effect
upon public opinion here but for it*
effect abroad. It Is not too early to
begin the preparations for peace, and
the first of these pteparatlons is the
education of popular sentiment every
where to the kind of pence under which
the free peoples of the world can "draw
together In some common covenant."
