NICARAGUA Is EXPECTED
To HOLD TO TREATY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 21.--
Apparently the Nicaraguan treaty
controversy is still an issue, although
the United States has been officially
declared not a party" to the Central
American Court VI Justice, formed in
Washington in 1907 under the aus
pices Of the United States and which
has recently decided against Nicara-
qua in cases brought before tho
court By other Central American re-
gublcs in protest Of Nicaragua's 3
right to conclude the treaty with the
United States without their consent
The American Peace Society
through its secretary, Arthur Deerin
Cali has issued statement TO the
effect that the United States should
recognize the validity Of the court by
accepting the DEGREES which it issues
The difficulty Immediately to be fac
ed Is as to the existence of the court
if Nicaragua refuses to be bound by
its decisions, as Nicaragua is consid-
cred to be likely to do If she has the
. DdCkInB OF Lnt OHlleu oldltS III BUM
. ing to the treaty.
Nicaragua Is considered likely 10
hold to the treaty because there is
$4,000, 900 for that republic in it rs
payment for a perpetual option to the
United States on the Nicaraguan in
teroceanic canal route and for 80
years lease Of site for naval station
IN the Gulf of Fonseca- Further than
this, the new president Of Nicaragua.
General Chamorra, WAS minister Of
Nicaragua to Washington while the
I treaty was being put through, and Ia
known to be favorable to It, and be-
cause Of this attitude to have been
favored for the presidency Of Nicara-
qua by the United States. It Is said
that, without the influence Of the
United States. he would quite likely
| have failed Of election.
Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras
all are Involved In the cases against
Nlcaragua's right to carry out the
treaty provisions, and, so far as the
court has gone to date all the cases
seern to be going against Nicaragua.

The Failure of Mobilization,

Testimony of the most positive sort
is being given before the Senate mill
tary affairs committee to the effect that
the present National Guard system Of
this country is mistake and failure
Maj. Gems. Scott and Wood have de-
clared that the mobilization of the guard
for border duty proves conelusively that
the country is not prepared for defense,
that indeed it is utterly defenseless
against we'll organized foe. Gen.
Wood went so far as to characterize the
mobilization as a tragedy.
The public knows we'll enough with
out the testimony of these officers that
the mobilization process Of last sum
mer was lamentably defective. Every
concentration camp, to which state
troops were sent in preparation for bor-
der duty, was scene Of confusion and
e1asperating delay. Deficiencies were
obvious in both men and material. The
men in the ranks were only slightly
trained, if at all, in camp duty, and
some Of the organizations were held up
for many weeks for lack Of equipment.

Men described as "born politicians. :.

If in fit of depression they take them

tician. A part in the play-and as
prominent as possible-is essential to
their happiness, and contributes to their
longevity.
Mr.. Williams is born politician. and
possesses all the marks of the tribe. He
is likewise planter, and lives in all
comfort on his broad acres. But plant
ing is his side line, and the "big house"
on the plantation his residence for only
a portion of the year. Imagine politics

for the whole year round. Would Mr..
Williams be contented with the change
He might be, but the probability is he

The Horizontal Increase,

Though it should in justice be larger,
the horizontal increase in the pay of
government clerks yesterday granted by
the House is most acceptable and graft
flying as a beginning. The Star, which
has for years been urging this measure
to relieve the stress under which the
department employees have been living,
is especially pleased with the result. 1t
feels that in the circumstances the
House has dealt with reassuring liber-
ality toward the executive service work
ers and hopes for even better things to
come
A larger increase is actually required
by the government clerks than that
which has just been voted. The pay
scale has been kept SO low for so many
years that veritable stagnation has been
caused in the service. Meanwhile the
cost Of living has risen steadily, not
merely as in the present case, to ex-
traordinary heights, but as whole to
point far above the means of those in
the lower grades to meet their necessi-
ties.
The amendment adopted yesterday by
the House provides only for pay in
crease during the fiscal year 1915" 1t
will take effect next July. It will cease
year later. If it is designed as an
emergency measure it is eouched alto
gether in wrong terms. The cost Of iv-
ing is extortionately high right now, as
it has been for months past To meet
the real needs Of the clerks, if this is
to cope with present condition, the pay
increase should become Immediately eff
fective. Indeed, it should be retroactive,
to cover the period Of high food prices
and clothing prices and shoe prices.
Such was the suggestion fifty years ago
when, in somewhat similar circumstances,
pay increase for one year was granted.
Truth is, the pay increase should not
be temporary, but permanent. The pay
scale requires readjustment. It is anti
QUateu ana OUT Oh conSOnAuCC WltH tne
economic conditions of the times, re-
gardless of spasmodie fluctuations in the
price scales. 1t is an anachronism.
Every department chief knows how diff
fcult it is to keep in the service ca
pable men who are under constant temp
tation to go elsewhere for more pay.
The government is actually discourag-
ing its workers by adhering to salary
scale that was outgrown at least quar-
ter of century ago.
An opportunity is at hand in the
House amendment to the legislative bill
to correct the conditions that make the
government service virtually the only
line of employment in this country gov
erned by rigid pay scale established
more than fifty years ago. The Sen
ate's action on this matter should re-
suit in larger horizontal increase, with
out time limit.

Had a real emergency existed, with ac
tual service required, this force would
have made a sorry showing save, per-
haps, as against SO ill-organized and i'll
directed an army as that of Mexico.
1t is we'll that the truth should be
told, in plain terms, regarding the in
adequacy of the country's provisions for
land defense. The regular army has not
been recruited at the required rate. The
National Guard is in a state of virtual
disorganization as result of the in
adequacy of the new system. Fortu-
nately the conditions have been devel-
oped and disclosed in season. The force
that was hastily assembled and sent to
the border has not been called upon for
active duty. No foreign enemy is in
view. The country is at peace and now
is the time to repair the system of de-
fense and to make it the most efficient
possible
Whether there is universal military
training, as some suggest, or an en-
largement of the regular army to half
million as one of the speakers before
the committee urged, plainly the United
States cannot safely trust to the present
system of reserve strength indefinitely
without eourting disaster.
feeling prevails in this country that
it is big enough and strong enough to
cope with any foe Even in the face
Of the European wars experience some
of the people persist in this faith, which
is chiefly founded on patriotic pride.
Yet it should be plain TO all. even the
most optimistic patriot, that the present
system of land defense, as reorganized
by the national defense act, is woefully
inadequate. An enemy does not wait for
equipment to be found and troops to
be trained. Not even the length of time
necessary to send an invading force
across the sea would in the present con-
dition suffice to put the United States
in a state of efficient resistance through
the hasty mobilization of reserve forces.
These hearings now in progress should
result in action that will correct the
mistakes of the most recent legislation
and lay the foundation for a land de-
tense system that can be depended upon
as real safeguard.

Senator Williams Announcement.

Mr.. Williams Of Mississippi announces
that Al the end of his new term in the
Senate. which begins in March next, he
will retire from office and politics That
Will bring him close to seventy years-the
famous three score and ten mark.
Doubtless he means what he says, but
when the time comes will he be able
TO keep his resolution? May we not see
his people issue L draft order, and see
him obey It? Why not another term. if
his health remains good! Politics. We
may all be sure, Win remain attractive,
and may be more attractive then than
now. In the great world shape-up we
are scheduled for share of the dis
turbance when the readjustments be-
gin. And in that day, and for many
days to follow, the American who knows
politics and government from the inside
Of national Office is going to find the
game exceedingly alluring.
Mr. Williams is veteran among ma
tional legislators. He first appeared in
the House in the Fifty-third Congress,
and in few years became the leader Of
the minority. That achievement would
have insured him promotion to the
speakership if his party had come into
control. But about that time the re-
publicans began recovering from the
disaster of 1892; and once more in the
saddle they kept a firm seat for many
years.

The Way to Peace Still Open.

highlands answer to Germanys peace
proposal is not flat rejection. 1t de-
clines to enter upon peace parley save
upon this basis: complete restitution,
full reparation and effectual guaran-
tees
Lloyd George points out in his COM
mons speech that Germany's note is
merely paraphrase of the speech of
the German chancellor, in which there
was nothing to indicate disposition to
accept peace based upon such terms as
England is willing to consider. 1t is
noteworthy that throughout the British
premier's statement he goes back to the
German chancellor's reichstag declara-
tion rather than to the terms of the
note formally transmitted through the
United States, and thus as to England
and Germany the peace discussion be-
comes in effect debate between the
two heads of government in London
and Berlin.
Rejection of the German peace pro-
'posal as far as it has been advanced
has now been formally announced by
Russia, France and England, while the
Italian foreign minister, in a speech in
the deputies, has characterized the pro-
pesai as lacking in sincerity. There is
NO reason to question Italy's action in
the premises.
Yet the way is open for further ad
vance toward a peace conference. Ger
many has invited her enemies to con-
slider the possibility of an adjustment
that will end the war, Withholding the
specific terms which she is ready to pro-
pose. The allies have declined to con-
slider the Berlin proposition as afford
ing a sufficient basis for parley, and
England, perhaps speaking for the other
entente powers, has given a broad def
milton of the terms upon which they
are disposed to close hostilities. 1t is
now for Germany to meet these answers
either with declaration Of continued
war or with more specific suggestions
Of peace terms.
Ii the German proposal was made for
psychological purposes, to hearten the
people of the central powers and to dis
hearten those of the allied nations, it
must be followed with additional sug
sestions else it win have failed utterly
of effect For, as ana1yzed by the
spokesman of the entente powers, the
proposition made in Berlin offers no
guarantees of peace save upon the basis
of virtual German victory and eventual
domination In the absence Of specific
proposals the allies can we'll afford
to stand upon their reflections without
the risk of alternating the sympathy of
the neutral world or weakening the 10y
atty of their own peoples.
If Germany really wants peace she
must now move in further definition Of
the basic terms of possible confer
enee. Lloyd Georges compact defini-
tion of the allies terms-eomplete resti-
tuition, fun reparatjion and efIeetual
guarantees-need not be regarded as
challenge TO continued warfare. He
was speaking TO his own people and to
the people of England's allies, as well
as 10 GERMANY
