When it was finished a furled flag
was hoisted, to be broken" by a full
blown German general on the kaiser's

When this great day arrived troops
formed a hollow square outside the

prisoners were lined up and ordered
to stand at attention 10 salute the

eral advanced and broke the flag,
which fluttered free in the wind. And
then the prisoners did spring to at

burst from them--for the FLAG was
the Union Jack!
A sailor engaged on the work of
rigging the flagstaff had wound his
ships flag round his body before
jumping overheard when his ship was
torpedoed. and he had managed by
some means to substitute the free flag
of Britain for the German ensign.

RUMoRED WILSON Policies.

Reassuring word comes from Eu-
rope. 1t is said that President Wilson
will not clash with Great Britain and
France over the so-called freedom
of the seas"
But almost the same cables bring
disturbing word that the president
will insist that the seas be policed
by an international sea-power in
which no one nation will be dominant.
Also that he will demand revision Of
the rules of blockade in time of war.
If freedom of the seas" means
limitation of the power of blockade
the British empire will not agree to it.
The British empire simply cannot
agree TO any serious restrictions of
the right to blockade and its corrala-
ries. the right to declare contraband
of war. For if the British empire
did SO agree it would perhaps be
signing its own'death warrant.
As for the United States, as soon
as it entered the war, it used the
right of blockade TO the limit more
vigorously in fact than Great Britain
had quite. dared to do. The United
States at once forced neutrals to dc
nothing that would impair the block
ade. In fact, some Of the neutrals

And EXCEPT as it is necessary for

concessions to the various nations in

the FIRST place, the constitution ought

NOW III our own country we know
how often a law which merely

precise in its language causes discon-
| tent and dissatisfaction. 1t was Years
| before the sherman law came to have

worse the matter would have been if
there had been no law at all but
| merely vague statement of prin-
ciple!
Yet it is one of the primary objects
of the league to allay suspicion. to
smooth over difficulties and 50 to
avoid bitterness and hard feeling.
( Evidently as many disputes as possible
should be settled before they arise. 1t
| would be the business OF the interna-

tons could obey and thus avoid

BLACK REPUBLIC PROBLEM.

The appeal of prominent negroes of
America for the establishment of a
black republic in the more than mill
lion square miles of territory in Afri-
ca taken from Germany may receive
consideration at the peace conference,
1t is more likely however, that the
Union OF South Africa, whose armies
under SHUTS and Botha conquered
the African colonies from Germany,
will insist upon and RECEIVE the vast
area in question.
The purpose Of the negroes is that
the twelve million inhabitants of what
was formerly German Africa shall be
given chance to work out their own
salvation, with the assistance of such
negroes from America and elsewhere
as may elect to go there.
1t is not probable that many ne
groes would go from America. The
negro population of this country is
forging ahead rapidly. They are ac-
cumulating property, are becoming
educated industpially they have con-
trbuted notably to the winning of
the war, they have American citizen
ship in every section of the United
States except where their right to
vote is restrained in the southern
states.
The African republic would labor
under a number of severe handicaps.
1t would be difficult for the educated
men Of abe race to have a controlling
voice in such government, made up
| largely of savages.
The African territory in question
requires capital for development.
Railroads must be built. harbors with
docking facilities for ocean commerce
established, q system Of public roads
constructed There must be schools
which require the publication of text
books in the various languages of the
country and the payment of teachers
salaries,
1 All of these things call for money
time by American capital. But it Il
| doubtful If capital would invest
either In the bonds of such republic
or in the bonds of private corpora
tons, The risks from instructions
and tribal wars would be too great
to say nothing Of the greater risk
! from the ignorance of the inhabitants
! in the arts OF peace.

can inhabitants of such territory tc

should be naturalization of new

In your yesterdays paper it was IN
Dictated that one chief function of the
League to Enforce Peace would be the
settling through courts of justice and
courts of arbitration Of matters of
dispute as between the nations But
all courts of justice imply a system
of law or equity upon which decision
may be based. The obvious way to
start would be to make out a bill of
rights for nations and incorporate it
in a constitution.
no people must lie forced under
sovereignty under which il does not
wish to live"
THE right of those who submit to
authority to have a voice in their
own governments
That moderation of ornaments
which makes of armies and navies a
power for order merely. not an in
strument of aggression or OF selfish
violence"
The essential principle of peace is
the actual equality of nations in all
matters of right and privilege.
Peace based ION generosity and JUS
tice, to the exclusion of all selfish
claims to advantage even on the part
of the victors
A partnership of peoples. not a
mere partnership of governments.
The principle of justice to all peo-
pies and nationaltes, and their right
to live on equal terms of liberty and
safety with one another, whether
they be strong or weak
A new international order under
which reason and justice and the
common interests of mankind shall
prevail.
The reign Of law, based upon the
consent of the governed and sustained
| by the organized opinion of mankind.
| The above phrases are all taken
| from President Wilson's speeches in
! the past two years. They appeal to
everyone's sense of honor and fair
| play and could be taken as a basis,
! But clearly a working constitution
would need to do more than deal in
generalities. 1t would need to take
into account very definitely the poll
cies and prejudices of the different
| nations and guarantee to them such
| rights as they would not he willing

rights of blockade in war time. Most
nations have some pet policy which

| The constitution would have to make
these matters very definite in order
| to get the nations to agree TO uphold
it, The main thing would be to have
as many subjects of dispute as pos
sble settled in advance
But the obvious impossibility of in

having an international Legislature.

WILL H. HAYES ADVISES WELL

Chairman viii II. Hayes is said to
have suggested that the republicans
OF both house and senate caucus and
select by secret ballot the chairman
of the ten most important committees
for the house and for the senate.
If this is followed doubtless if the
senior republican is the Lest man for
the embarrassing he will be chosen.
But where he is not recognized as
the best man superior talent will be
named for the Craftsmanship, despite
short service.
\ While Penrose is a great improve
ment over Simmons of North Caro-
lima, it would be unfortunate for the
republicans were the Pennsylvania
to become chairman of the senate
finance committee Fordney Of Mich
igan has infinitely more brains and
far better principles than Kitchin of
North Carolina, but the republicans
the Michigan congressman were to be
selected as chairman of the mighty
ways and means committee of the
lower house.
Both Penrose and Fordney belong
to the Matt Quay and Mark Hanna
school of politics; neither fairly rep
resents the newer republicanism in
its progressive tendencies.
\ caucus choice of the chairmcn
of the ten leading committees of
house and senate would abolish the
seniority rule, even if the seniors were
all elected; and the republicans could
begin their work with the assurance
that the American principle of the
rule of the majority had superseded
the vicious seniority rule
Let the republicans remember that
it was the seniority rule in congress
that turned both houses of congress
over to the democrats. Also. they
should ponder on the fact that it was
the seniority rule that contributed
most powerfully to the defeat of the
democrats in the recent election. The
lesson from these two Incidents is so
plain that it should be needed.

MUSICAL HUMoRIsTs.

Artists paint funny pictures, au-
thors Write funny books, and actors
act funny plays 1t IS only recently,
however, that musicians seem to have
realized their hardness in this respect
and to have started blossoming out
with really funny music.
Richard strauss has produced many
a laugh-though you have to be mu-
steal to avoid laughing IN the wrong
place. A musical description Of a
baby being bathed, however. appeals
equally to the uninitiated as well as
to the initiated. A little while ago a
young British composer wrote some
genuinely comic music to Hans An
dersen's story of Big and Little Claus.
Peter Pan" has many funny tunes
notably the theme of the crocodile
But an American composer, John
Alden Carpenter, has travelled farthest
along the road of comicality. His
