shaken by the removal of that external
pressure represented in the old Pan-Slavic
Imperialism of SazonoR and Milukoff.
Second, the same process Is now under
way in Germany. No longer can Bethmann-
Holweg prattle about the peril of Pan
Savism. That peril has been obiterated
by the Russian people themselves. The re-
suit is that not only the Socialists, but the
entire Centrum, with the exception of three
deputies and the National Liberals have
boted. Today Bethmann-IIollweg is on the
verge Of losing his majority in the Reichs-
tag. Following closely upon the Cabinet
crises i'm Austria due to the same cause,
and the open defiance Of the Saxon Gov
eTnment by the Diet of Saxony, it is rea-
sonable to assume that the removal of the
aforementioned external pressure is begin
ming to have its effect in Germany.
Ana now we may hope to see the Balkan
conference of the Allies perform the same
function as regards the problems of that
peninsula which the Russian peace policy
has already performed In the internal politi-
cal situation Of the Central Empires.
This is the dawn we can see in the Near
East. If Russia, single-handed, was able
to create a political situation in the enemy
ties of open revolt or peaceful sweeping
democratization, what may we not hope
the Allies as a whole to accomplish by
renouncing openly all ambitions of con-
quest and domination in the Balkans?
1t would be most gratifying 10 realize
in the end that there, where the clouds Of
war first gathered, the dawn Of peace arose

TOO PROUD TO BE MAYOR!

OUR Presidents are better men than
~ our Mayors and Governors, because
gang politics cannot be 80 easily played
on a national basis as in city or state
So great an appeal to the imagination
does tho presidential office and its great
power make that politicians do not dare
to ask national party 20 nominate
trickster or weakling for White House
)nors. This Is the basis OF the general
aud well.founded belief that the Federal
power can get things done" Men have
always said, "Tho State (or city, tried 70
do this for years but when Uncle Sam
stepped in it was done right
Thus when Uncle Sam decided 10 clean
up vice dcns about the navy yard the
feelings Of the city officials were cruelty
hurt. Tho gentlemen were shocked
amazed and incredulous.' But when 1t
became evident that Secretary Daniels
meant what he said, the Mayor hastenod
to reverse his opinion that reports Of
vice had been exaggerated. orders" he
says, will he issued 20 the police to clear
every district Of disorderly houses"
Occasionally Mayor becomes n
national figure. This happens when he
has run a city with n fine sense Of
national consciousness and national
honor. Baker took the mayoralty Of
Cleveland as If Cleveland were a republic
which had chosen him for President.
Some Of the greatest republics in history
have been city epublics-Athens, Rome,
Florence. Venice. There is nothing new
or strange in the idea of national con.
seriousness in city government. Philadel.
pha, in all It's practical relationships to
the world at large, is a more important
nation" than Serbia or Rumania or any
one Of a dozen small countries whose
sovereignty is worth fighting for. We
have certainly at least one man in Phila.
delphia who would make a great Presi-
dent. But he has weak point In his
makeup. He is too proud to he Mayor.
