Pershing's Defense of Baker
J S The Encyclopedia Brttannica in its supplemental edition accords only
. a brief paragraph to former Secretary- of War Newton D. Baker and in
' '. those few words there la" an apparent effort to belittle him.
i He la referred to as "an American politician." and the Inference)
A'' is that his service as secretary of war was Inefficient and unsatlefac-
. tory owing to his leanings toward pacifism.
The treatment of the former secretary has angered bis friends
throughout tbs country who see In the reference not much more than
' I a condensation of the criticism leveled at him by political enemies dnr
lng hU term of service and they have sought to have a correction made.
But the enemies of Mr. Baiter can find scant satisfaction in the

.:! reply of General Pershing. When the matter if as called to the atten
. tion of the. renaral. ha Immediately designated it as "unfortunate and
A unfair" and added:
. i: "It fell to him probably more than to any other individual in Amer-
. lea excepting President Wilson to contribute to or detract frgm tht
' "5. force and effectiveness of American military contribution to the cause
(V of the allies. His support of the1 commander-in-chief of our forces in
v France waa complete whole-hearted and unswerving. As to this tost
' ' mr testimony must be accepted as determining.''
With this last statement of General Pershing's there can bs no dls-
agreement He was the commander-in-chief in the field of all tne
. American forces. No one knows better than he what character of sup-
port he received from home. The general's testimony completely
. jexoneretea the former secretary of the malicious charges that Baker's
political enemies brought against him and which have found lodgment
in a reference work which ought to be if it is not above being imposed
upon by designing political influences.
Secretary Baker served during one of the most trying limes in the
history of the war department. He had no precedents and he had to
do everything hurriedly. He was burdened not only with the task of
Sllrectlng the organization of an army of 4000006 men but with bearing
the criticisms of those who for one reason or another opposed the ad
ministration's policies and sought to obstruct them.
- But he kept at the task. The war was won and no evidence has yet
been adduced to prove that the great war machine could have been run

French Artists and Germany
When a question arose in Paris a few days ago as to whether Oer
man woiM of art should be permitted in an exhibit at the French capi-
tal it was poted that French artists whe had seen sevice In the war
with Germany voted to admit the German exhibits. The men who had
actually faced the Germans on tho flul.l of battle were not willing that
the worka of their former foes be excluded.
Perhaps ft will be said that tho soul of the artist triumphed over

that national boundary lines can not obscure artistic excellence. Ail
very true but it has not been so long since even In this country preju
. dice against art of German or Austrian origin was strong enough to pre
- vent an exhibition of them. The revival of German opera was regarded
i at distasteful by many people when an audacious New York theater
bronosed .it after the war. Noted German and Austrian artists have
been slosir to return to America.
A deeper prejudice against everything German might logically be
' looked for In France. Of all the Stations France baa stood cut against
Oermany with the greatest tenacity.
The action of the former soldier artists would seem to Indicate that
the French judgment of Germany la beginning to soften. As Is usual
the first Indications of the healing of war wounda comes from the men
. Who were actually in the combat and not from the politicians. In our
own ooetetry following the war between the States it was the veterana

Overworked Presidents' Wives.
From the New York Evening Post : In a let'

Washington affairs makes the point that of six
wives who accompanied their husbands to the
White House in our time four proved physical
ly unequal to carrying the onerous social bur-
den of the "first lady of the land." Mrs. Mc
Kinley came to tbe White House an invalid
but Mrs. Harrison Mr. Taft the first Mr.
Wilson and now Mrs. Harding suffered distinct
impairment in health in that exacting environ
ment.
There it a continuing tendency in Washing
ton towards more and more complex social or
ganization with the White House as its logical
focus. Life at the White House becomes less
of a family matter and more of an institutional
rrocess rigidly formal shot through with prece-
and overlaid with the anxieties of

The Missouri Cob Pipe
(From Iht- St. Louis Globi-Dimocrat.).
Certainly Missourians may be juatty proud
of the cob pipe. It is an emblem of thrift and
economy and never waa there greater need of
these qualities. Since the Indians first smoked
the pipe of peace furthermore a pipe ef any
description has been a symbol of peace and
peace in a real sense is th great need of the
world. The growth of the pipe -industry then
is a sign of promise for evidently most of the
