AS SANE q word as has been uttered on
"A the treatment of Germany is contained
IN an editorial article in the Manchester
Guardian which is reprinted on this page
today. 1t is an Endorsement Of Lloyd
Georges declaration that there must be no
"Alsace-Lorraining" and a discussion Of
what must be done to avoid it.
The seizure OF e.Lorraine, as every
one knows, established a permanent griev-
ance against Germany. The Guardian
wisely and ~intelligently protests against
the establishment Of a permanent gr!ev-
ance in Germany against France and Eng
land. This can be accomplished only by
the abandonment Of the plans Of the
extremists.
In brief, the Guardian pleads for that
which this newspaper has been arguing
for tmany months. and that Is a livable
rosce. Germany must be punished for her
onenses, and in the New Testament phrase
treated as a publican and a sinner. But
this does not mean determination. 1t does
not mean that a permanent outlaw nation
must be created, but it does mean that
after the punishment shall be inflicted the
victorious nations must do their best to WOO
the criminal back to the paths Of law and
order and to agree to the restitution OF its
rights as a member Of the family OF
nations. This is the Christian course and
Il is the course Of practical wisdom as well.
There follows as an inevitable corollary
from the demand that there shall be nc
Alsace-Lorraining against Germany that
there shall be none against any other
powers. Italy's ambitions on the east coast
OF the Adriatic conflict with the desires OIL
the Jugo-slavs who have racial interests
there and Grecian interests in Asia Minor
conflict with the territorial claims of Tur.
key. These questions must be considered
with reference TO the preservation Of worlC
peace rather than with reference to III,
selfish ambitions OF nations seeking tC
extend their boundaries.

WHEN SKEPTICS RECANT

THIS is the season when the small
l. boy who has doubted for the rest of
the year the existence of Santa Claus
recants and experiences a revival of faith.
Faith with him is in reality the substance
of things hoped for. If it were not for the
fear that the genial friend of children
would pass him by on his annual rounds
tonight the youthful skeptiC would persist
in his skepticism; but in the absence of
gertrude his doubts are transformed from
questioning of the reality of Santa Claus
to questioning of tie reality of the doubts
themselves.
Thus we discover that boys are but men
of a smaller growth, for who has not
known Of the skeptic, on the eve Of his dis
covery Of what there is really on the other
side Of life. to return to the hopes of his
childhood and early youth and to agree
that after all there may be something in
what the human heart has dreamed about
immortality?

diplomacy had comparatively easy sailing.
Their task was to represent the American
people at foreign courts, which they did
graciously. James Russell Lowell, in
Spain and in England, was as successful
in this as Washington Irving had been at
earlier dates in the same countries. George
Bancroft, John Lothrop Motley, Bayard
Taylor and Andrew D. White were all men
of letters first and diplomatists incident
ally. In more recent times Arthur Sher-
borne Hardy, who was sent to Spain as a
man Of letters. is remembered for no dis
tinguished achievements, and Thomas Mel
son Page and Henry vanDyke, whom Mr..
Wilson appointed to Italy and the Neither
lands, respectively, have represented their
country much more acceptably than it
would have been represented by a mere
politician, with no interests outside of law
making and carrying elections.

PACE AND LITERARY AMBASSADORS

THE literary tradition in American dlplo-
- macy was sustained only vIcariously in
the appointment OF Walter Hines Page as
American ambassador near the Court OF
ST. James's.
Mr.. Page, who has just died Of an
illness which became acute while he was
serving In London, was not so much a
literary man as an encourager of the pro.
duction Of literature by others. He has
only one book 10 his credit and ne got
little fame from its publication. He was
an editor Of newspapers and magazines
and 4 publisher Of books written by per.
sons more inclined than he to put their
ideas on paper.
The data are not at hand on which any
judgment Of his success as a diplomatlst
can be based. He served in London during
the trying years OF the war, but the exigen.
cies OF. that war have thus far prevented
any disclosure OF the details OF his work.
He may ave made a record that can be
compared with that OF Charles Francis
Adams in the same post during our own
Civil War, or he may have had a com
paratiyely Easy task. At any rate he sue
cseded In preventing anything approaching
III feeling between the two countries. In

terence with our shipping.

STATE CENSORSHIP ON MONUMENTS

HovERNOR.ELECT SPROUTS sugges-
~ ton that a State commission he APP
pointed to pass on the artistic quality of
public memorials and bridges will be ap.
proved in principle by all interested in
identifying the towns and highways Of
the Commonwealth.
1t comes at a time when the people
are considering memorials 10 the men who
died in the war. Unless something is done
TO prevent the erection of monstrosities
the memorials OF the present war VIII be
little better than those Of the Civil War.
A man has a perfect right to crafty his
own taste within the four walls OF his
own house, but when he or a group OF
men propose to put a monument in a public
place they must be induced to consider The
taste of others who will be compelled to
look at it. The Art Jury of this city has
Justified its creation, for it has prevented
the erection Of statues unworthy the best
taste Of the community; at least, it has
prevented the placing Of m such in a
conspicuous position.
Such a commission as Mr.. Sproul pro.
poses could very we'll take over the super
vision Of the decoration OF the Lincoln
Highway in accordance with the plan out.
lined by Joseph Pencil in this news
paper, If hat plan should commend itself
to the Judgment OF the State. The bridges
over the streams which the highway will
cross could be made permanent memorials
of great artistic value, and the milestones
could be as elaborate or as pain as the
purse OF those who chose to use them for
memorial purposes could afford, the onIy
restriction on them being that they should
commend themselves to the State art COM
mission as worthy TO be erected as repre-.
sentative of the artistic taste Of the Com.
monwealth.
We do not suppose that it is intended to
supersede the local Art Jury. The State
commission would doubtless exercise juris'
diction only in those communities which
a no art jury OF their own.

THE READERS VIEWPOINT
Scrap the German Ships for Belgium

To the Editor Of the Evenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-You carry the information that the
President will urge the Allies to sink the sur
rendered German ships.
In view Of the fact that there Is a world
shortage of iron, steel and steel products and
in view of the apparent shortage of such
products in Europe, / would suggest that ths
hundreds Of thousands of tons of steel, iron.
brass and copper contained in the hulls OF
these German ships be wrought into structu-
raj steel shapes and presented to the Belgian
nation for rebuilding purposes. In addition
there are hundreds of motors. dynamos.
boilers, engines, etc.. that could be used for
some useful purpose in the same country.

DIRECTOR GEORGE S. WEBSTER's
II long experience in municipal affairs
makes him an effective spokesman on
behalf of Philadelphia when the city's
interests are involved in Washington. Thu
Directors sincerity goes a long way with
officials here. During the war the munic-
ipal piers were held up by embargoes and
war-board orders and necessitated frequent
conferences. In some Of these the Director
got what he wanted, but sometimes he oio
not. More recently his intimate knowledge
Of transportation and river conditions made
him a valuable witness in the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal hearing. When asked
what Philadelphia had done to merit this
national Improvement. the Director
promptly asserted that for a time up to the
completion Of the tw~enty-six-foot project
Philadelphia had virtually maintained the
entire project from Marcus Hook to Phila-
delphia. At the present time, he SAID the
city maintained its own dredging plant and
provided piers to accommodate any ship
| that might come to the port.
| TT WILL please the farmers of Swedes-
l. boro and vicinity to know that Con-
gresham Bill Browning, Of Camden, has
put in his annual claim before the Rivers
and Harbors Committee for Raccoon
Creek. The Congressman told the COM
mittee that Raccoon Creek turned out into
the Delaware more tonnage than any OF its
other tributaries except the Christiana at
Wilmington. He credited the Swedesboro
region with, high record for vegetables,
such as potatoes, tomatoes and c~antaloupes,
and said 1t figured large in the markets of
Philadelphia and Baltimore. The Camden
Congressman also revived the Mayor Ellis
and Board OF Trade project for a deeper
channel in front of the city from Cooper's
Creek south. This channel Is sought by the
Camdenites to bring shipping up to the
wharves and to enable our sister city to
connect readily with the thirty -hvefoot
channel to the sea.
TINE Columbia Club veterans, including
Corporal Smith and Sergeant Quigley,

Edmonds's latest yarns at the Capitol. The
Congressman is winding up his NTH year

niscent mood. He says the late Colone
Bosbyshell tried to put the old NapoleoniC
story Of "McGinnis" over on Corpora
Smith, but the corporal and the sergeant
countered with conclusive proof that thu
battle OF Gettysburg was fought out or

 PROPOSES DELOUSING TANKS

New York, Nov. 3O.-If New York and other ports of debarkation are not to be subjected to ''the old Mosaic plague of lice visited upon Pharoe and the ancient Egyptians" American soldiers returning from overseas must be thoroughly "deloused' before they are permitted to meet their relatives, declared Health Commissioner Cope land in a statement tonight, calling at- tention to the fact that typhus and rench fever are carried by "cooties.' 5
 Dr. Copeland expressed his grati- fication that port health authorities had ordered transports held in quar- rantine until a complete examination of those aboard had been made.

Morenci Chapel

The Chapel was filled last Sun day evening with a large and sympa- thetic audience at the opening of church services. Thankfulness was upon every heart for the great victory won. Fine selections were rendered by the quartette. Appreciative referen- ces was made to the dead and wound ed who went from Morenci to the war; Pete Lloyd c. Hill was the only one who made the supreme sacrifice in France. He was born in Stellar ton, N. s. and was in his 23rd year, a son of MT. John Hill of this camp. His chaplain writes that he was a most efficient and reliable soldier. The wounded as far as are known are: John R. Mclean, R. R. Nelson, Edgar Ude, Albert Barr, Ernest Ras- COG, G. E. Repper, Alex Edgren and Harry Jennings.
 Preparations are being made for an interesting next Sunday evening". The pastors topic: What Good Has Come of the Warp The Quartette will sing. Come and bring a friend.

Morenci Citizens Leaoue
Manager.

Tuesday evening, November 26th, about twenty prominent citizens of Morenci held a meeting at the local court house to discuss county tax ation and ways and means forMorenci to derive it's proportionate benefit therefrom. Whilst the primary ob- ject of the meeting was to form an association of Morenci taxpayers, it was felt that as taxation and kindred subjects are matters of interest to all good citizens, it were better to or ganize as a citizens league rather than a taxpayers association. Tn this manner Morenci would have an organized body of citizens to repre- sent the town in all matters of com mon interest.
 Under the temporary chairmanship of Dr. F. E. Stanton, the following permanent officers of the Morenci Citizens League were unanimously elected: Chairman, c. E. Hull; Secre- tary-Treasurer, J. M. Frankel. An executive committee of seven men was also authorized by the meeting, and an announcement will be made shortly regarding these appointments.

Morenci Club News

The theatre opened on Monday night with a special picture entitled "The Man Hunt featuring Ethel Clayton.
 The hall was appropriately deco rated with bunting and flags. Previous to the opening of the picture the Morenci Mucical club sang effectively and to an appreciative audience, two of their choice selections. On the en- core, the words of the Star Spangled Banner were thrown on the screen, all joining heartily in the singing which was led by the Musical Club. On Tuesday night, Joan of Platts- burg, by Mable Normand; Wednes day night, "The Soul of Magdalen,' preceded by a one-reel comedy, was given to an apreciative audience. On Thursday night was given very in- teresting program, but the event of the week occurred when the Club Social and Dance were given. The dance was led by Adams or chestra and those who attended left feeling that they had had a most en- ioyable evening.
 A most interesting program is be- ing arranged for next week which will be announced through the regular weekly folder.
 The Club is becoming more and more a center of community interest. A kindergarten is now being held in the refreshment room five nights a week.
 The Morenci Musical Club is also holding its rehearsels here. It is also used by various committees from different sections of the camp. Six or seven lodges also have their headquarters in the building.
 It is the intention of the manage ment to make the club a center of usefulness, so that the greatest pos sible benefit may be derived there from.
