THE REAL SITUATION

OF course, there 10 no American
army in France. Foch has no re-
serves. We cannot send any troops,
because the U-boats would sink the
t-oopships. We cannot supply ammu
milton because the U-boats have al
ready sunk the freight ships. France
Is crushed. England Is licked to a
standstill All the Germans have to
do, to win the war, Is to smash
through the French line and parade
to Paris, then turn and kick the Eng
iish into the North Sea and gobble up
the channel ports.
We know all this because II Is what
the German general staff believed up
to the moment the last Hun drive
started. and what they told their own
people. Surely the greatest military
experts In tho world, employing the
cleverest. best organized secert ser.
vice ever created, would not make a
mistake about It! And surely the Ger
man leaders would not lie to their
own people.
The inevitable conclusion is thai
the crown prince Is now eating his
dinner In Paris, and Hindenburg if
bombarding London from Calais with
q battery of super.atrocity guns, and
Lloyd-George IL begging for peace at
any price, and the United States IL
getting ready to pay the kaiser nifty
billion dollars indemnity.

ECONOMIC LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Lord Robert Cecil, British minister
of blockade, has declared that there
is already In existence an economic
association of "a nations, ready ano
able to regulate the bulk OF the
worlds trade now and hereafter.
He refers, of course, to the allies.
The league is as yet in rather in
formal stage, but none the less a re.
atty
IL is tremendous power, greater
and farther reaching perhaps than
the military power on which II Is
based. 1t goes without saying that
such power would be intolerable un-
less used wisely, for the benefit of the
civilized world as whole; and there
is no intent expressed by any allied
statesman to use It otherwise.
The purpose contemplated is, nat.
/ urally. self defense against the great
menace to economic freedom repre-
sented by. Germany. II will not be
invoked for the mere sake of punish
ing the central powers for their
crimes, great as is the temptation. Its
operation may be partly punitive for
time, but the basis motive, as has
been suggested, will be not ven
geance but safety.
The working out of the plans, as
set forth by Lord Cecil, will be along
the lines indicated in official utter.
ances of President Wilson. The
president pointed out in speech last
December that II the German people,
after the war, continue to live under
ambitious and intriguing masters in.

world" 1t may be impossible to ad.
nit them either to the partnership
Of nations which must henceforth
guarantee the worlds peace" or 1.-THE
free economic intercourse which must
inevitably spring out of the other
partnerships of real peace"
All the recent economic activities
of the German empire have belied
any desire on the part OF the present
regime to acquiesce In the economic
ideals of the allies. In Russia, in
Finland, In the Ukraine, In Rumania
In Poland, in Belgium wherever her
heavy military hand has fallen--Ger
many has proceeded to exploit nat.
ural resources for her own advantage
and reduce the populations to eco
nomic slavery.
1t is intolerable that she should be
allowed to extend or perpetuate this
system. The allies cannot have any
business dealings with German,
while she persists In such a. policy o
plunder. They cannot afford to sci
Germany any raw materials, or bu!
from her any finished products, Will,
she thus seeks to win trade con
quests. Both must be renOunced be
fore she can be permitted to associ

Entente Minister Nearly Gets
In Wrong Through His
Desire For Olive Oil.

LONDON, July 22-tBy The Asso-
ciated Press Correspondent recently
in Rumania) 1.-The Allied diplomatic
colony in Rumania will long remem
ber the arrival in Jassy last winter of
large shipment of hospital and med
ical supplies from the United States.
The shipment was long delayed on the
way, and when it arrived one of the
Allied Ministers insisted on celebrat-
ing its arrival by a dinner. as elabor-
ate as dinners could be under existing
conditions.
After the arrangements for the din
ner had all been carefully worked out
by the Minister who was acting as
host, IL was found that there was not
an ounce of olive oil to be obtained in
Jassy. At the urgent solicitation of
the Minister. the Chairman of the
American Red Cross Mission agreed
to remedy this deficiency. According
ly a written order was given authoriz.
ing the Minister. to withdraw one
quart bottle of. olive oil from the sup.
plies which had just arrived from New
York.
The Minister sent his orderly to the
Red Cross warehouse with the requi
sition, and the courteous superintend
ent of the warehouse handed the or
derly a quart bottle and took re
ceipt in the customary form.
The same evening the dinner tool,
place. with twenty-five guests repre-
senting all the important States in the
Entente Alliance. The host, proud OF
his achievement in securing real olive
oil for the occasion. had arranged a
menu in which every dish contained
oil as an ingredient.
1t is perhaps better not to 60 into
details regarding the announcement
Suffice it to say that there was not q
single dish of which anyone was able
to take more than mouthful From
beginning to end everything was flaw
ored with penetrating taste which
the American Minister declared was
4 that of fish-glue.
Everybody accused the Red Cross
chairman of attempting bad practic
al joke, but he was as much al sea as
anybody else. and could only promise
that the matter would be investigated
on the morrow.
A short talk between the Red Cross
chairman and the superintendent o.
the warehouse next day solved tn,
mystery. What the warehouse MAJ
thought was olive oil turned out to b,
fullflavored Norwegian cod-liver oil
which had been shipped for the us,

Rumanian refugees.
International complications we're on
ly avoided by the circulation of al
elaborate explanation. which had to b
translated into seven languages in OF
der to reach all the guests who ha,
been offended by the dinner develor
ments.
