It perhaps scarcely needs to be stated that he was almost unknown to French and Brit ish army officers on his arrival, and has not even yet had opportunity to show what he can do as a commander.
 While he busy getting acquainted with the French and British men of high command, along came Wood on tour of in spection. Many people in Europe knew Wood personally, and everybody knew about his record, how he had cleaned up Cuba, and what his standing in military cir cles. Woods presence in England and France created the situation that is be- lieved to explain what since has happened
 While Pershing was consulted off cially by the government leaders and com manding officers of those countries, there was a marked tendency on the part of these men to seek out Wood and pay him so- cial and other attentions. He was guest at luncheons, sought by Petain and Haig among the commanding generals and by Clemenceau and Lloyd George among the civil leaders.
 "The result was state of affairs em- barrassing both to Pershng and to Wood The latter, Pershing's subordinate in rank, was received into councils which Pershing was not invited to enter and consulted intimately regarding matters to which he was a stranger. In other words. Woods fame as a soldier preceding him to Europe seems to have deprived him of the privilege of serving his country as d division mander under Pershng It up to Per shing to take the broad or the narrow view and he took the

 There is no record of an understand ing between Warren and the White House. and it is not stated except by the gos- sips, that one existed, but the fact is that Pershing promoted, and that Warren supported the bill, which in due time became a law.

Whom We Suspect

Washington suspects that Japan may
have designs in Asia; hence her anxiety
to enter Siberia and protect the war
stores that are otherwise likely to fall
into Germany's hands, and her willing
ness also to send an army to defend India
for England.
SO she may have. We do not know
Apparently the japanese themselves do
not know, for they are divided as to
what they should do in the present case.
Two things we do know.
One is that Japan has never yet
broken faith Therefore she should be
trusted to keep any word she gives as to
what she will do in Asia, now and here
after. India is England's priceless pos
session, and she is willing that Japan
should defend it.
The one other thing we know is that
suspicion is the worst and gloomiest
American sin.
Lest the japanese be too much hurt
by our suspicion, it is well to admit that
we have suspected every one impartially.
We have suspected even the English,
whom we know best of all. We have
nursed the dark thought that they were
holding out ships in order that we should
not be able to run away with the carry
ing trade after the war.
We suspect ourselves.
Is that not the final proof of impair
tiality?
We are suspicious of big business, of
bankers, of our own shipbuilders espe-
c,ally, of nearly all manufacturers, of
coal producers as such, of meat packers,
of railroad people and even of farmers.
Why should Japan complain if we re-
fuse to consent to her entering Siberia
on the ground, first, that she may alien
ate the Russians, who have opened the
dikes to Germany; and. second, that she
may have ambitious designs in Asia?
1t is nothing that Japan has every
thing to gain from Americas friendli-
ness-that she needs our STEEL our cop
per, our manufactures; that she cannot
go on without them.
It is nothing that Japan has kept it's
pledges TO all the world
Russia is PROSTATE. There seems
nothing now to stop complete German
penetration" as Mr.. Balfour phrased it
the other day. Germany may take the
whole of it, Siberia included. We can
not stop it, Great Britain and France
cannot do it.
Who will?
