gler Prior to the advent of cold
weather, Germans had been discovered
crossing the frontier into Holland
wearing no undertaking and women
wearing only a mantle. They were on
their way to supplement this rather
scanty raiment at some Netherlands
store near the border, thence to re-
turn homeward clad in genui wollen
or cotton underclothes instead of the
substitute materials wherewith Ger
many is in these days arraying it
self. To counter this method of pro-
cedure, the custom authorities have
adopted the equally novel method of
stamping the underclothes of all per-
sons who regularly or frequently cross
the frontier: If such travellers are
subsequently found wearing unstamp
ed clothes, these are treated as snug

Falls Into Grave Error.

Detroit Free press.
1t is not easy to interpret President
Wilson's decision to go 10 the peace
conference at Versailles or elsewhere
except as an indication that his
yearning to be an outstanding, and
II possible dominating figure IN the
settlement of the world = greatest
problem has obscured his sense of
duty and his power TO distinguish
or at least TO decide rightly. betwe cen
legitimate and illeg .timate ambition,
Mr. Wilson Is assuming a big re-
spOns!bility In leaving the United
States to look after Itself just as II
it is entering upon the thrOes OF a
reconstruction period and in risking
his life upon the ocean at time
when under the terms Of contract
HE, life belongs to the nation. If he
has the legal right TO do what he is
projecting, he lacks the moral right,
and the people of the United States
have just cause for serious complaint
over the decision he has reached.
The official statement from the
white house setting forth Mr.. Will
sons reasons for going TO France
carries It's own baCkfIre criticism.
The president says hls presence at
the round table at the outset of the
peace conference is necessary in
order To Obyiate the manifest dis
advantages Of discussion by cable in
determ ming outlines OF the final
treaty about which ne must neces-
sarily be consulted" The president
feels that he cannot keep in close
enough touch with France from
Washington TO protect American in
terests and make sure generally that
things go to suit him. lie also fee.s
unable to find anyone in America
competent to act in his stead under
full delegated authority,
But If the CHEF executive cannot
keep in close enough touch with
France by cable to make certain that
America receives proper consider
alton and has proper weight at the
peace conference, 1t will certainly be
no easier for him TO keep in close
touch with Washington by cable
from France to perform his home
duties as president. And II there is
no one in all America capable OF
representing this republic authori-
atively at Versailles except Mr.. Will
son. there is certainly no one any
more competent to look after the
regular work OF this executive de-
parlment in his absence.
We believe that in endeavoring to
Justify his trip abroad the president
has offered strong reason why ne
should remain at home.
Considering MIR. Wilson's projected
jauut from an international stand
point, the final effect Of it upon the
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-12-01

world in which news arsl criticism
shall be free entirely.
The restraints are OF many kinds.
For example, Mr.. Wilson's presence
in Europe viii be Il serious restraint,
upon criticism in the United tSatcs.
He will lay down the fourteen points
in France He will, in general, de-
velop his ideas OF what an inter
national democracy should he like.
He may go further than we should
like hi INTO go. He may further than
his countrymen would be willing to
follow.
But often, perhaps. we should not
know until long afterward just how
far he had gone, and in case We did
know in time we should be In an
awkward dilemma. Could we at-
ford TO critiCise the president
abroad Could we with dignity re-
pudiate his principles, or any uneX-
pected development Of them? Would
We not embarras and humiliate our
selves In 80 doing? And. IN a given
case, provided we had made up our
minds to do a disagreeable thing,
couN We reach him in time, with
the cables overtaNed with federal
traffic and under the close control
OF Mr. Burleson? Criticism OF Mr..
Wilson's conduct abroad, even more
than criticism OF his conduct at
| home, would be thought dlsloyal and
partisan by all good democrats.
However, this republican country
Is in the hands OF the democratic
party. II Mr.. Wilson will go to meet
! the mountain there is nothing that
can be done about 1t. Everybody,
| republicans included. thought the
mountain was on its way To meet
] him.

according to official reports. Here
are some OF the things that / believe
Americans should give up In order
that the Germans should nave sur
ficient food in their present distress. .
Acorns for making coffee suhstt-
tutc Let Americans toreEo thei
share OF acorns so that the poor
Germans may have their coffee in
the mornings.
Sawdust to help out in the making
OF bread No true American viii
enter protest against letting the
Germans have sawdust in moderate
quantities for bread making.
And here Is the testimony OF an
English prisoner who escaped from
;he German prison cage at Salome,
where 1900 British and about 500
Portuguese were confined:
The first thing in the morning We
got kind OF oatmeal, for dinner a
kind OF stew of horseflesh or goats
meat. The latter was quite uneat-
able. Sometimes instead, We got
some very black kind of fish. fun Of
ammonia and salt and uneatable."
Let us all make up our minds to
give up our hOrseflesh and goats
meat and ammoniated ana saited
black fish and tiny bit of sausage
and small traspuonful OF kind OF
apple jelly, So that the poor starving
Germans may feast and be merry
Surely they would ask nothing better
than they thought proper 10 give
their prisoners. 1t was good enough
for the Englishmen and Frenchmen
and Belgians and Americans: it will
he good enough for the Germans
Their tastes may be a little peculiar,
but with that We have nothing TO do
IL they like soup no stronger than
boiled water" IL is their concern
They must have thought it very good
and nourishing. or surely they would
not have given II TO prisoners of war
That goes without saying.

certain. They will receive the presl-
dent respectfully and enthusiastically
IS the head Of great nation. ana
in France they do those things su-
perlNtively well. But a reverse uh-
dercurrent of feeling is almost GER
tain to develop.
This Is time when the United
States may easily make lasting
friends for itself by acting mOdest!y
and by COMFORTING itself in an ethi-
cal way, being careful to send to the
peace conference plenipotentlaries

importance. Too much America at
the round-tAble may easily arouse re-
sentiment, and give punch TO the
complaint already being heard, that
the United States. having gone into
the war when the heat and burden
OF the day were almost over, is now
trying to take credit for everything.
1t would be an exhibition OF good
judgment and good taste and patri-
otic self-effacement and denial Of
ambition for Mr. Wilson to stay N
America and allow regularly select
ed delegates to represent the country
at the peace conference. No matter
how the president may feel about It.
there really are plenty OF Americans
quite capable OF upholding the
prestige and honor and interests OF
the republic at the coming gathering.
And in any event the chief executive
would have the final say regarding
u compact before he sent 1t to the
senate for ratification.

hAhAAA Ilty JoufhAi,
Americans appear to he OF one mind
with respect to feeding the Huns.
IL expressions OF public opinion ac-
curately reflect the general attitude
toward the proposition, 1t makes
little difference, SO far as these eN-
prcSsions indicate, whether the
Americans hail from the north or
south OF the Mason and Dixon line
or east or west OF the Father or

fair degree OF correctness the con-
sensus Of opinion to the effect that

Americans are called upon TO make
any sacrifice OF their health, or
even OF their comfort or convenience.
The spectacle OF the starved and
maltreated prisoners of the Germans,
turned adrIft to walk weary miles
without food or clothing, Is not ca icd-
lated to inspire any exalted ideas
Of reciprocating generosity in the
American rhind. Ii may be admitted
that scarcity OF food in Germany pre-
cluded any over feeding OF prisoners,
but there never was the slightest eN-
cuse for the barharous cruelty with
which the prisoners were treated.

THE SENIORITY RULE.

The proposal to abolish the senior
ity rule in the selection OF chalrmen
OF the senate and house committees
Will probably find sufficient favor in
the republican ranks to insure We
early adoption. The seniority rule,
no doubt. had something to do with
the defeat OF the democrats In the
recent congressional elections People
were tired Of seeing men like Kitchin
and Dent. who not only opposed the
president, but defled the great bulk
OF the American people, at the head
OF important house committees,
The fact that a congressional dis
trict has returned man many times
TO congress II not OF Itself proof OF
the mans fitness. II may be proof
only OF the backwardness OF tho dis
trict, or OF lack OF able men To
make a contest for the place Some
of the most incoNsequential men In
congress have held their seats many
the most brilliant men ever chosen
for the national legislature have held
their seats but n short time.
In the business world what would
be thought OF corporation that
gave It's most responsible positions to
those employees who had been longest
in service, without regard TO their
qualifications? How long would such
a corporation remain out OF bank
ruptcy?
The seniority rule. which auto
matical.y confers all tho highes,
honors and responsibilities upon
those who have been longest in
service, discouraGes able men from
seeking congress seats. Men who are
capable OF making brilliant names
for themselves in the business or
professional world are not moved to
enthusiasm by the prospect OF beng
Nuried for years in cong ressional OBJ
security. while men OF inferior talents
Cok down on them from the seats
p the mighty.
The abolition OF the seniority rule
1nuld not necessarily mean that the
