AT THE PEACE TABLE

1t is supposed that the Peace Confer
ence is to assemble for the purpose of
formulating treaty of peace. In fixing
the powers of the President, the constitu-
ton says: ''He shall have power, by and
with the consent and advice of the Sem
ate, to make treaties, provided two-thlrds
of the senators present, concur" The
President is now in Europe and has taken
with him a considerable retinue in which
are IA college professors and not single
senator. These professors are not to sit
at the peace table, but are to be just
around- the-corner advisers. The consti-
tuition, it will be remembered, does not
saw with the consent and advice OF COL
leee professors but with the consent
and advice of the senate" Some of the
senators were apparently angry because
thew had been worse than ignored, and
. Senator Cummings introduced resolu-
ton in the Senate which proposed to send
a senate committee consisting of Demo-
Gratis and a Republicans, to attend the
conference The Senate refused to pass
the resolution and by so doing showed
GOOD Judgment. Such committee would
obtain no recognition at the peace table.
The President acted within his constitu-
tional rights when he appointed his asso-
.ciates to sit there and of course the pow
ers could recognize only these.
Therefore a senate committee could
accomplish nothing over there, and it is
doubtful if the President himself with his
commission and professors, can have
much influence. England, France and
italy will probably be unit in dictat-
ing the important peace terms. President
Wilson must agree with them or he must
take the role of an obiector, and possibly
on some points Japan aud several smaller
powers would join with him. But we do
not think Mr.. Wilson will seriously object
to the wishes of the powers which have
done more fighting, suffered more losses
and have a much greater stake in the
settlement of peace terms than has the
United State. He is too wise and too
polite to do that. The Senate OF the
United States will have no occasion to
consent or advise. Some day the Presi-
dent will press his official call bell to
summon the Senators to ratify treaty
in the making of which he had little to
do and they, nothing. They will ratify

THEN AND NOW.

After the Constitution of the United
States was formulated the next step was
it's ratification by the 10 original States.
The last of the States to ratify was
Rhode Island, May 20, 1870. The con-
stitution was not declared to be in force
until December Is, 1891. In the follow
ing year Belfast cast IL votes for Presi-
dent, all for George Washington, and the
population of all the States in the Union
was about what that of Massachusetts,
now is At that time those who had a
book or a newspaper read by daylight,
candlelight or freight Matches were
unknown and when the fire died on the
domestic hearth, Goals were borrowed
from a neighbor or spark was caught
in finder, when obtained by striking flint
on STEEL There were no steamboats,, no
railroad cars, no large sailing vessels, no
telephones nor any of the present day
means of rapid communication between
places even but a few miles apart
A 500 mile journey by Ian or sea
was protracted and usually hazard
Gus. For the most part both people and
news travelled on foot or on horseback.
Six weeks were required for a trip across
she Atlantic, and often more. Living
under these limitations, it is not probable
that the trainers of the Constitution con-
sidered the question whether the Presi-
dent should be required to remain in the
country during his incumbency. Ii they
did consider it, it is certain they did not
write any decision into the Constitution.
The somewhat prevalent opinion that
this document provides that the President
shall not go into foreign country has
not even the strength of tradition to
support it. Several people in high legal
standing have said that when President
Wilson went to Europe he vacated the
office of President. We do not see how
that opinion can be maintained. The Con-
stitution says that In case of the inability
of the President to discharge the powers
and duties of his office, these shall de-
volve on the vice-president. Many peo-
ple claim that by reason of his absence
in Europe, Mr.. Wilson is unable to dis
charge his powers and duties. One hun
dred wears ago president of the United
States sojourning in Europe could not
have done this with any reasonable etti-
cheney and circumstances might at any
time imperatively require his presence
in Washington. But, today, as far as
communication is concerned, electricity
has annihilated distance. Less than two
wears ago 1000 men, each with tele-
phone receiver at his ear, sat in the City
Club in Boston and heard the waves of
the Pacific break on the shores of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Wilson in Europe, can, if he
wishes be informed hourly of what is 60
ing on in this country. He can make ap-
polntments, give orders to Congress, write
notes and adjourn politics and we can
read about everything he says and does
in the next morning papers just as we
would if he were in Washington. 1t
seems to US, therefore, that in going to
Europe Mr. Wilson has violated no laws
and while there will be able to discharge
his powers and duties as President of the
United States. Whether there was any
necessity or reasonable reason why he
should 90 is at least doubtful.

In Memoriam Albert Frank Gil
more.
[Died October 3, 1871


The Christian Register of Dec. 5th
prints the following of Lieut. Gilmore,
son of Rev. Frank A. Gilmore, Belfast
boy:
Second Lieut.. Albert F. Gilmore died
in France of pneumonia. He was the
first-born son of Rev. and Mrs. Frank A..
Gilmore and reached the age of twenty
three. His brother Robert, aged twenty
one, died at the Pelham Bay Naval Train
ing Camp, May 80, 1918, also of pneu-
monia.
Lieut.. Gilmore went to France in
March, 1917, with Red Cross unit from
the University of Wisconsin, in which
institution he was a sophomore IN the
long course in agriculture. He served for
nine months with the French Army as an
ambulance driver, during which time he
carried hundreds of wounded men from
the front to the stations over
roads frequently sheled by the Germans.
This was in the Argonne district. AT
one time he was sent to Verdun day or
two after one of the great battles there.
On this battlefield he picked up German
helmet, which is now in the possession
of his parents. In November, 1917, he
resigned from this service to enlist with
the American forces. In recognition OF
his services the French Government pre-
scented him with signed certificate, OF
which the following is translation
FOR FRANCE.
M. Albert F. Gilmore has taken part
as a volunteer of the American Field
Service from the 18th of March, 1917,
to the I'd of November, 1917 Faith
full to the ancient friendship between
France and the United States, and
before the coming of the American
Army, he has served the army of
France in the war for the Right. He
has made a campaign in Argonne,
serving as an ambulance driver in
section sixteen Sanitaire Ameri-
CAME"
For nearly year the young man has
been IN training for aviation at different
schools in France. Lieut.. Col. Hiram
Bingham, in command of the Third Avia-
ton Instruction Centre, has written of
Second Lieut.. Gilmore
Gle had an excellent record and
was universally held in high esteem
nv his brother officers. You
may always have the satisfaction OF
knowing that your son was good Oh
ficer and true gentleman, higher
tribute than which there is none.
His life was dedicated to
his country, and he left with his
brother officers an example of serious
ness and faithfulness."
Albert and Robert Gilmore were mem
bers of the Unitarian church of Madison,
Wis, loyal and active in its welfare.
They were most faithful in attendance at
Sunday school and Young Peoples Relig-
ious Union, Albert having been president
of the latter for two years. Both are
volunteers in the service of their country.
It is a source of pride and solemn salts
faction to all who knew these Unitarian
boys that when the great test came they
were not found wanting.
The heart of the whole Unitarian house.
hold is filled with tender sympathy for
the bereaved and honored parents of two
sons who helped to save Gods world;
and the sorrow of the days in the valley
will be turned into Joy for memories SO
dear and sacred that they must be for
evermore.

Twenty Thousand Quit Rhine

Twenty thousand quit work in the

The strikers, who included women,

Emperor Will Cling to Won Seydler

Emperor Will Cling to Won Seydler.
Amsterdam, June PA crisis has
arisen in the Hungarian government.
Budapest newspapers, says the Lo-
kal AnZeiger, of Berlin, mention Count
Tisza, presumably as successor to the
premier, Dr. Wekerle.
Emperor Charles, Vienna despatch
to the same paper, says, undoubtedly
will refuse to accept the resignation
of the Won Seydler cabinet. 1t will
remain as constituted except prOGab-
ly for the Polish minister. Herr Won
Twardowski, who will retire.
1t is problematical whether the COM
merce minister, Teri Won Weiser, and
the minister of agriculture, Herr Iron
ca, will be able to reconcile their diff
ferenceS and work in harmony until
autumn.
The emperor has sent IL letter to
DR. Won Seydler, saying:
1T is my intention, .thile firmly adj
herring to the conf lent relations of
the parties which hitherto have al
ways stood up Internationally for the
interests of the state, to first examine
all the possibilities as to how an ar
rangement of public affairs could be
assured.
Il reserve decision respecting the
request of resignation and meanwhile
entrust you with further direction of
affairs"
Discussing the resignation of the
cabinet. Vienna despatch to the
VossiSche Zeitung says Baron Burlan
foreign minister took the position he
was unable to make Il declaration
against the cesSiOn of East Galicia, as
the Poles demanded. because it was 4
purely internal affair The premier
was ready to declare the partition of
Galcia should come only by constitu
tional methods, namely, tWo-thirds
majority in parliament.
The Poles demanded declaration
partition was out of the question
They also demanded binding promise
from the German parties regarding
the AuStro-Polish solution.
(The "Austro-PoliSh" solution of the
question is the merger of the former
Russian Poland and Galicia, or Aust
trian Poland. This greater Poland
would form a kingdom of equal i'm
portance with Austria or Hungary,
making the dual monarchy a triple
monarchy. This solution is bitterly
opposed in Germany.

checked the Austrians before the river
