Dangers Ahead.

Such a spirit is the beginning Of dis
cord, 1t leads straight to the d~estruc-
ton Of that friendship which the war
has created between America and the
rest of the civilized nations. 1t brings
US back to the position of 1914 and
1915, when we pretended TO- be a SUI
perior people, too proud to fight" and
above the smoke of the European strug-
gle, 1t abolishes all the lessons learned
slowly and bitterly in the past two
years and paid for by the best blood OF
our youth, II is one thing TO go to
Versailles as an equal, with plans to
propose and ideas to suggest. with
principles to advocate Loyalty, but with
q readiness TO accept the decisions OF
those who have made greater sacrifices
and have far more ~accurat knowledge
Of the bottom facts of the European
conditions. II is quite a different thing
to go with the purpose of imposing a
set OF principles, IA or four, upon our
associates by sheer force of power. be-
cause we are richer and stronger thar
any other nation In the world. using
our great power as a club TO force

German Unchanged.

We have to make peace with a ma
ton which has committed innumerable
and u~nspeakable crimes against civil
ICED mankind. We have beaten Ger
many by arms and by concerted effort.
But we have not changed the German.
At least we shall need some good and
sufficient proof that he is changed be-
fore we can believe it, and for that,
time Is necessary, Notwithstanding
this, notwithstanding the injuries which
our allies have suffered and the long
and intimate acquaintance with Ger
man methods which they have had, we
are now coming dangerously near to
an attitude in which we at least APP
pear to demand that our friends dis
arm In the presence Of their enemies,
and ours. We are running the risk of
quarreling with those who have fought
shoulder to shoulder with US, having held
the line against our common enemy
over the years before we could make
up our minds to fight. Why?
Last of all, there is one thing l
would say to the readers Of my articles,
for whom | have been writing now for
many, many months, and that Is that
the greatest conceivable misfortune
that could befall US all, Americans,
Frenchmeg and Britons, is that the
peace conference should create a new
atmosphere of misunderstanding and
resentment between the allies, We
have seen in recent days a deliberate
effort made, for what reason | do not
pretend to say, to excite American re-
sentiment against the British and the
French by rehearsing old scandals and
manufacturing new structures upon our
allies by asserting that the French and
British dislike us, that we should dis
trust them, and that German morals
are the dominating forces with the
French and the British.
Now this is all false, but 1t is more
than false, 1t is poisonous; 1t leads
straight to quarrels with the French
and the British, and quarrels Of our
own making. II seems like an attempt
to discredit our allies in advance, that
American sentiment may be aroused
against them in the event that they
decline to accept as commands Amer
lean suggestions at the peace con-
gress. It is instinct with the idea that
We Americans have the right to impose
our Ideas upon our allies, and that any
difference of opinion Is proof Of lower
morality on their mart.

New York, Dec. THAT the Ger

session of the two days thrift con-
ference held here by the Association
Of Life Insurance Presidents. In max

Hoffman. Social insurance in Ger
many was never more than a careful

can manufacturers are rapidly form
ing export associations which plan
to carry the products OF the Uni'el
States to every nation on earth. to
create and enlarge demands for goods
Made in America and TO furnish
cargoes for the American merchant
marine to transport over the seven
seas The trade invasion Of other
countries will begin in earnest when
Europe has been supplied with food
and reconstruction materials and the
world gets back to normal peace
basis.
To avoid collisions with provisions
of the Sherman antitrust act and the
Clayton law. the new associations are
filing statements OF their purposes
with the Federal Trade Commission,
taking advantage of the WEBB Dill
permitting suCl cOmb!Aatl"ls solely
for the purpose OF exp TT trade.
This act enable; Am 2rical..; to COM
bine their strength to compete sue
cessfully with similar combinations in
other countries. Up 20 the preesnt, 20
stat ements have been filed. embrac-
ing combinations Of machinery and
tool makers. paper makers, lumber
manufacturers and general exporters.
As a general rule the combinations
have been affected along the line OF !
trade assOciations-that is, all manu-
facturers in producing certain
article or series of articles are band
ing together. somewhat along the
al law,
pushing goods to all corners OF the
earth before the war. Some experts
believe that this system is wrong ana
that the combinations should be Ell
fected along the department store
idea-that is. that each combination
should include one or two manu-
facturers of each article and that the
association should be able to furnish
everything from pin to lOcomo-
tive. They argue this system would
save much expense in maintaining
statesmen and branch agencies anu
that just as strong organizations can
be effected as under the other plan.
Advocates of the one-line-of-busineSs
idea contend however, that their
system. which sends out highly sp"-
clduZGu SdlSSlItu " SCH oiC 81 'iNiS
only and which allOCates all orders
among the manufacturers embraced
in the association, makes the stronger
combination to meet foreign eompetl-
rion only.
Officials who have studied the pro-
blem think the danger of an out
growth of these export associations
similar to the great metalgcsselsctaft
of Germany which controlled metals
and metal products in al parts Of the
world both in production and distribu-
ton, is eliminated by a provision OF
the Webb bill which prohibits any ex-
porters' association from engaging in
importing activities. This is designed
to prevent, or make undesirable,
control of raw materials It also IS
provided that the acts of the combina-
tons must not be in any way in re-
straint of trade within the United
States, the Federal Trade Commission
having continual supervision over
their activities and each individual
manufacturing or jobbing member or
the association being amenable to the
Sherman and Clayton acts insofar as
his domestic business is concerned.

We sighted sub periscope just about

time, and the Prince George let go
two rounds before the periscope dis
appeared, but did not hit the mark.
Transports, battleships and cruisers
were thick around there, all at anchor,
and 1t was a great place for a sub
to be.
In no time at all the destroyers
breezed out with their tails in the

had been sighted and all around It.

For some reason the millinery of
midwinter is more colorful and some
what more elaborate than that which
ushered in the fall season, although
the simply trimmed hat cannot be
outclassed. But variety is the spice OF
millinery as well as of life, and some
of the latest arrivals in the assemblies
of mldwinter hats are far from simple,
The hat at the center of the picture
is an instance of this new departure.
In the face of vogue for sedate col
Ors and meager trimmings, its design
ef has chosen to be audaclous and has
vindlcated her choice by making
beautiful hat. 1t is picturesque

wider at the left side than elsewhere
and has as many graceful turns and
curves as the edge of a flower petal.
A whole company of small curling
ostrich heads-which is the millinery
name for little plumes-finds resting
place on it and they are Of the same
shade of brown. The crown is rather
high and lifts at the left with band
of tucked betting ribbon about 1t In
rose color.
Just to show that quite a lot Of
trimming can be used successfully,
rather large brown beads are set at
wide intervals about the upper edge
