Entered at the postoffice at Winnet- ka, Illinois, as mail matter of the sec- Pha class, under the act of March 3, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1923 IS FRANCE HELPING GERMANY? One wonders what will be the end of the French invasion of the Ruhr, whether it will be to make the situation better or worse for France, whether it will, by effect- ing a closer. national unity in Ger- many, serve the welfare of that state by supplying the element which has been so conspicuously lacking everywhere since the war-- a common desire to serve a com- mon cause. Unity of purpose is the sine qua non of a newly organized state. Germany has not had it so far in the development of the republic. Perhaps it will be supplied from that most unlikely of sources, the old and bitter enemy from beyond the Rhine. Here in this country we achieved what would have been the impos- sible under any other conditions when we prepared an army for ser- vice overseas in months, instead of years, as the task would have seemed to demand. It was only be- cause our hearts and our hands wére driven by one single deter- | ' MWination to take a place in the line of battle in time to turn-ihe vic tory to the side of the allies. Had we been divided in purpose, had there been the same sort of opposi- tion that has marked the course of our public affairs since danger passed, we should have been far from ready after all need for us should have passed. Reaction after tht war has been evident in every country in the de- termination of all sorts of factions to impose their policies upon gov- ernment and to direct the reor- ganization of the life of the nation. It is natural enough, however de- plorable. In Germany the presence of hostile troops on German soil may quite well supply the incentive to a new unity of purpose which may serve to bring a new German state triumphantly into being. It would be a sad achievement for the French, but a natural consequence in the view of less concerned na- tions. EES SSE SENTIMENT OR SCIENCE "Homemaking half a century ago was more sentimental than scien- tific." Thus the Woman's Home Companion compares the old order with the new, and quite truthfully. The scientific management of the home has become a subject of con- suming interest to students of the art, a subject of constant use to the editor of those publications which make their great appeal to women. But have we gained or lost in the substitution of science for senti- ment? Have the children in those homes benefited by the superior knowledge of mothers concerning the chemical composition of the food materials with which their families are fed? Have those who compose the family circle been drawn more closely together or have the home ties slackened a bit in their hold upon the members of the family? Are we better or worse off in our home life than we were a half century ago when there were sentiment and practical experience in the home but little understanding of the scientific management of ac- counts or the scientific composition of the menu? A lot of sentimentality has got it- self mixed with the sentiment that must be a part of the home relation- ship if it is to be a compelling fac- tor in the lives of those who live within the domestic circle. The cheap talk of the sanctity of home without the devotion to the family that warrants it is one of the most destructive elements. Real senti- ment, the reflection of that love upon which the home is founded, by which the family is bound to- gether, can never be replaced by any scientific system of management, however effective it may be to minis- ter to the material needs of those who live under the same roof. We need both sentiment and science, but lacking one it may much more safe- ly be the science. JRE SF -- Russia announces that the right sort of immigrants from the United States will be received with joy- ous welcome. It would be asking too much to expect much expres- sion of pleasure because of the kind of people we have been sending to Russia from the United States. Nor can we extend much hope that any other variety will be forthcom- ing in the near future. To an Am- erican enjoying the relative pros- perity and the real liberty that is our portion there is little in Russia that appears attractive. We shall not be called upon to bestow a blessing upon many American em- igrants seeking homes in Russia.
