In spite of Burke's lament that the

GOOD AND BAD.

The appointment of Professor John
BasSett Moore as counsellor of the
State Department is admirable. Pro-
fessor Moore is one of the leading au-
thorities in this country upon interna-
tional law and diplomacy. TO the teach
ing and practice Of which his whole
life has been devoted. He has been an
Assistant Secretary Of State and was
secretary and counsel of the Spanish
American Peace Commission IN Paris
besides representing this country on
various temporary missions, being now
a member Of the Hague tribunal. In
his appointment the administration
recognizes that diplomacy IS profes-
sion, and accordingly it acquires the
services Of remarkably well Qualihed
adviser with regard TO foreign rela'
tons.
The appointment Of Mr.. William f.
McCombs as Ambassador TO France Is
as bad as the appointment of PROBES
sor Moore is good. Mr.. McCombs Is
without experience in diplomacy or
even in large affairs at home. He has
no reputation except for being sue
cessful campaign manager. rs AmbaS-
sador to France he will present an un-
fortunate contrast with such recent
predecessors as Robert Bacon. who had
been. before his appointment, Assist
ant Secretary of State and for short
time Secretary Of State; Henry White
who had been in the diplomatic ser
vice as many years as Mr. McComoS
has lived. and who had occupied V;lrl-
Gus high posts before becoming AmpaS-
sador to France, and Robert ). McCor-
mick. who had represented this couli-
try at Vienna and at St PETERSBURG
before going to Paris. We hope that
President Wilson means TO pay no
,norc political debts with high diplo-
matte appointments.

THE WEARY WAR.

The terms Of peace now demanded by
the Balkan allies accord with former
intimations by them. but differ widely
from the known purposes of some Of

them inadmissible and decline 70 submit
them to Turkey. The announcement
that chief objection is made 10 the
allies demand for the cession Of Sou

tive i'm the concert of the powers. 1t is

ing determination TO keep Montenegro

establishing an impregnable Albanian
fortress. under Austro-Hungarlan au-
spices. at the very entrance TO the pain
Of their natural and logical expansion.
The raioinder OF the allies TO this i'm
pending reply Of the powers will be
awaited with interest. 1t is scarcely
conceivable that they will defy the pow

persist in the alternative Of pressing
direct demands upon the Porte or of
continuing the war for the attainment
Of ends which the powers practically
forbid them TO seek. Yet they would

such as the William l.. Wilson schooi
Of theorists tried to make on 1t nine
