AFTER PEACE. WHAT

Shortly the peace terms dictated by
the Versailles conference of the
allies will be submitted to Germany
There will be considerable haggling
on Germany's part, no doubt, but in
the end she will have to accept them
For Germany must pay the price of
her Selfmade world war.
And she must accept such condi-
lions as the victors impose, condi-
lions that will make it impossible
ever again for Germany to precipitate
such a world catastrophe. Her claws
must and will be clipped.
She must never again be able to
dream of world domination.
Then the old world may settle
down once more to the business of
life. To the realization of safety
and security. To the taking UP of
the struggling, fraying ends and the
tangled threads of existence.
And what comes after peace is
largely in our own hands. More, in
|dividually, perhaps, than ever before.
For right now there is a greater
more intimate personal responsibility
, than we have ever known.
In the past we have regarded the
government in a sort of indefinite
way as something off yonder at
Washington to which we were re-
sponsible, but which wasn't just ex-
actly responsible to us. A sort OF
foster father.
But we are coming more and more
to realize that we are the govern
ment That it's interests are ours, its
responsibilities ours, it's welfare ours.
That we must stand by it If it is to
stand by us. That we're all of a
family.
And that the rights the govern
ment stood for in the war were our
rights, just as the welfare 1t seeks
now to insure is our welfare, And
the billions of dollars it must have to
do this are our billions and must be
supplied by us.
That it is our Victory Liberty Loan
as much as Uncle Sans.
His honor to be defended no more
than ours.
Our prosperity to be restored and
perpetuated as we'll as his.
And that what comes after peace
for Uncle Sam isn't only his concern
It's ours-yours and mine.
And it's up to us.

CONFIDENCE IN THE RED CIRCLE

Jacob Stein, Executive Committee

spent a short time in Washington, D.

a soldier asked him to look after his
two hand bags.
The soldier then disappeared and
was gone for half an hour. Mr.. Stein
wondered that such trust should
have been put in him. SO when the
soldier returned he asked:
why did you take chances of
leaving your bags this way. to COM

CPSETTING THE EXPERTS.

It Is dlscoura ging for the experts who knew positively how Hawker met Ihis death to learn that he is alive. Happy and, as a London dispatch says, in the pink of condition.' It is so |d1sconcerting to explain in long detail Informed that they did not happen at all. A number of men familiar with the perils of the air hastened to ad- vance the presumption that the engine on the Sopwith biplane had frozen up while passing over ice fields. Others were as certain that the machine was caught in the whirl of cyclone which, by coincidence, lashed the air over the Atlantic about the time that Hawker and Grieve arrived in the middle of the ocean. So annoying to have someone come along and tumble down these pretty houses of cards. Of all the world there were two who were confident that Hawker and Grieve could reach land. They were Mrs. Hawker, who had supreme faith in her husbands ability to ex- tricate himself from almost insur- mountable difficulties, and Raynham, his rival, whose Martinsyde plane was wrecked while attempting to rise for R twin flight across the sea wastes. These two were right; the rest of the world was wrong.
 The reappearance of Hawker and Grieve is the most thrilling incident in the annals of aeronautics. England in particular was staggered by the news and is planning a tremendous re- ception to the heroes. The London Daily Mail, for whose prize of s5o,OOO the feat was attempted has announced that it will give the airmen half that sum as a consolation prize. America extends it's greetings to the daredevils and will root for them if they decide to try again.

lected for it's revenue-producing ca pacity. It seems, then, that the Ar menians are not worth $500 a head;
 their blood cries out from the ground, but not loudly enough to be heard amid the protests of Indian Moslems and the alarmed outcries of investors.
 Naturally, the talk of an American protectorate of the Turks in Constan- tinople is ridiculous. America will certainly have nothing to do with maintaining the Turkish Empire. That is Europe's work, if anybody's;
 Europe kept the Turk in Constanti- nople for a century, at the cost of some millions of Armenian and other Christian lives; if Europe wishes to renew a covenant with death, let Europe do it. But the outcry which is already coming from influential French and British newspapers shows that European sentiment is fully awake to the meaning of such an in famous compromise. Investors in Turkish bonds can be bought off;
 Moslems can be reminded that the golden age of Mohamm edanism was the age before the Turks appeared and that the decline of Islam has been largely traceable to the decline of Turkey. The civilized world has backed away from this plain duty long enough; if it breaks away once more, the price will be paid again by the Near Eastern Christians, not by the tim orous politicians. But there are penalties that could be applied to those politicians, penalties that poli- ticians will fear: and it is the duty of the civilized world to see that those penalties are kept before their eyes.

the largest single nation of the earth in it's internal and external re- lations. Yet America has only re- gently heard of the passing of Dr. Timothy Richard by the slow course of the mails. A Welshman by birth, he had spent 45 years in China, where he was a mandarin of the first rank, the trusted adviser of success sive and contending governments, inn perial and republican. He came to this position of confidence by no road of official diplomacy, but as a mis- sionary scholar and a counselor Of proved unselfshness. He himself founded a university and spent much of his life in making a new, modern and Christian literature for leaders of the hundreds of millions of Chi nese people. He went out under the Baptist missionary society. He met fhn challenge of the re-aWakened Buddhism in China's aroused nation al consciousness by his campaign for Christian schools and books. It takes a quarter of a page of the crowded English Who's Who to report his ac- tivities, honors and publications, and all the learned societies as well as the Chinese legation in London at tended his funeral. In an interview in the British Weekly pr. Richard once said: "The Chinese nation is led by comparatively few persons-the mandarins and the educated classes, who number about 100000. The su- preme need is to send out men who are competent to guide and instruct the thinking classes. When these are won for Christ the whole nation will follow" That was his task and op- portunity, and the results of his life work will he shown in the history of China and of the world for genera tiOnS to come.

SIGNING THE PEACE TREATY.

Thoughtful, public spirited citizens have been devoting the past few weeks to pointing out the danger of the United States not signing the treaty. There have been threats from Sena- tors that the document would be signed only over their dead bodies. Others not holding political office have declared that America was on the verge of surrendering it's sovereignty. Some of these utterances may be dis counted because of the political bias which inspired them. Others are made public through an honest desire to protect the nation.
 It is hardly possible that former President William Howard Taft would wilfully perform an act against the in terests of the United States. His rec ord for patriotism and loyalty is so we'll established that it would be ab- surd to question his motives. Speak ing in New Haven Saturday night, MT. Taft said:
 
 States refuses to "a tify the treaty
 of peace and it goes back to the
 nations of Europe and is accepted ~ by them, as it surely will be, it
 will place the United States alone
 in the position of being at war
 with Germany while the nations
 of Europe will be at peace with
 her.
 Another speaker on the same plat form was President A. Lawrence Low ell of Harvard University who pre- sented the pointed problem:
 If we set up several small gov
 ernments in Europe and then go
 away and leave them what is to
 prevent Germany from seizins them in the future? If France is
 compelled to go to the aid of
 small countries with which it has
 commercial relations, France will face bankruptcy and probably will
 be forced to cancel her national
 debt, thereby endangering the
 economic structure of the world.
 Ex-President Taft is a Republican. Dr. Lowell is a Republican. Both are of the finest type of American citizen- ship. Both are brainy men with wide visions, who have studied the question from all angles. They strike us as being leaders on this occasion who can be followed with safety.

The New PenrOsc.
Springfield Repu bllCan.)


 The triumph of Senator Penrose was doubly insured from the begin min of the oBrah-Johnson fight against his appointment as chairman of the finance committee. The insur- gents had no candidate of their own, and an old political maxim has tt that You cannot beat somebody with nobody.'
 MT. Penrose, furthermore is incon- testably the recognized and duly in dorsed representative of the repuhli- can party of the state of Pennsylvania. Tn 1914. after his political past and his sordid political ideals had been fully exposed, he swept the republican primaries and was renomlnated for senator by an overwhelming majority Even Clifford Pinchot, who has con- sistently fought Mir Penrose, must admit that the senator is PennsylVa- nia's favorite son.
 Perhaps there is a new Penrose coming along. One catches the sug- gestion now and then that Penrose has been liberalzed, if not reformed. This is a new day. with new polltlcal atm osphere,i so why not a ne" Trim : rose? At all events, the stage IS set for the Pennsylvania senator to De the p1lOt IhIOugn lnt SClidtO oh e'iO anticipated budget reform; and, II success crowns his efforts, he may yet be known as a constructive states man.
 Since they cannot escape having MT. Penrose as their leader in eco- homie and financial legislation. the wise thing to do is to force hlm to play the reformer in a field where ne cap disnlay his undeniable talent. Keep him out of tariff making-at least until after the presidential elec- tion-and do not let him cut down the income taxes of the rich, appreci- ably, while throwing the tax burden upon the consuming public, or the poor Identify him with budget re- form, at all costs, and it may pe found that the Pennsylvania senator will carry his own weight instead CT being a burden to his party and H. ability in 1920.

FEDERAL "BLTE SKY" LAW.

George w. Bristol, a lawyer, is ini- tiating a movement for the enactment by Congress of laws which will prevent the issuance of worthless industrial, mining and oil stocks. He believes that federal law should be passed which will prevent wild catting," rather than punish the offenders after they have skinned the cream off the public milk.
 Speaking along this line, the lawyer says:
 No state laws can completely cover the conditions and needs
 throughout the country. On the other hand, 1 think that state
 laws should be passed to supple
 ment national legislation. But na-
 tional legislation we must have
 a law passed by Congress to pre-
 vent misdeeds that we now only
 try to punish. Sending an offender
 to jail does not give their money
 back to the people he has swim
 dled And, besides, not all this
 victlmizing is done by dishonest
 men; they may be only careless
 and overenthusiastic but if their
 stocks are worthless their pur-
 chasers lose their money just the
 same!
 MT. Bristol suggests that Congress pass regulations under which the mails would be closed to any corpora ton, broker or individual or to any periodical advertising the stock of the corporation until that corporation has successfully passed a thorough inves- tigation by a federal department and it's stocks are known to be good.
 Schemers who sit up nights plotting how to line their purses at the expense of the people are birds of ill omen who usually fly before the wave of pros- perity. Their wings should be clipped before they find it possible to exit from their nests. The safest invest ment is in home industrials. The manag of the locak factories are usually well known. Their character and business ability can be measured. The financial condition of the com panies are public secrets. Money in vested where the investor can see it is money that causes few sleepless nights.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?

Don't you remember how the Marines smashed into Chateau-Thi and forced the Germans to evacuate?
 Don't you remember how the Marines captured Vaux after one of the most stubborn hand-to- hand bat ties?
 Don't you member how Major Gen. eral Bundy of the Second Division, said Retreat? Hell, no.' when it was suggested that the American line be drawn back.
 You remember distinctly the thrill of pride that ran through your veins when these things happened And yet all of the foregoing incidents oc- cured only in the minds of imagina- tive writers, or readers who jumped at conclusions.
 The Marines did not drive into Chateau-Thierry.
 The Marines did not capture Eaux.
 Major General Bunday never said it.
 Edwin L. James, 8, Coblenz cor
  strips the glittering tinsel off some of the popular war fiction in a letter in his paper yesterday. On July g when the Marines were supposed to have driven the enemy out of Chateau Thierry they were forty or fifty miles away, south of Soissons.> The story g1orifying Uncle Sam's sea soldiers for taking Vaux was a natural error. Correspondents were informed ahead of time what units would be sent against the town. They faithfully re- corded the names of these units in their dispatches. Then the censor used his blue pencil and the names of the regiments that captured the pla ace were eliminated. As the Marines had been fighting in this neighborhood it was assumed that they were responsi- ble for the victory. In fact, it was the Ninth and Twenty Third Infantry of the Second Division. Regarding Bundy's remark, MT. James writes: Tt is pretty generally known over here that General Bundy didn't make that famous utterance. It takes it's place in fiction alongside of the Go to he'll which Major Whittlesey of the Lost Battalion of the 77th Division sent to the German major in the Ar gonne when the Americans were called upon to surrender. Major Whittlesey has himself denied that story, I be- lieve."
 Some day historians are going to straighten out the interminable tangle and give credit where credit belongs It will be a wearisome task and the true history of the war may never be written.

 II is unfortunate indeed for me that higher authority has concluded that I should not leave my post at this time. This is a great isappointm to me. There is nothing that could equal the pleasure of meeting once more with old 'S6-companions of my youth, the friendship for whom is above all others the dearest and most lasting. To be again for a few hours as in the olden days at West Point with those who stood shoulder to shoulder with me and I with them through over four years would be worth a great sac rifice. The thought makes me long for cadet days again. I would gladly go back into the cOrps (although of course it has gone entirely to the dogs since we were cadets), and glad ly Gin spite of this) go through the whole course from beginning to end to be with you all as we were then.

The Sultan and the Debt.
(NeW York Timea)

Perhaps it is not only SOliCitude for the religious susceptibilities of Indian Moslems that is back of the movemen to keep the Turks in Consta ntinOple. To leaIe the sultan on the Bosporus with ''nominal'' authority, at the sa me time giving him "a degree of temporal power over some territory in Asia Minor to be selected would preserve the form of the Turkish Elm pire, concilate the diplomatic pedants who would have us believe that you cannot end a war without a treaty of peace, even if you have to keep the enemy state alive solely to get it's signature on the treaty, and would prevent the obliteration of the Turkish pre-War debt"
 That debt was held largely in France and England, and French and British investors have a right to some guarantee of their investments. But the guarantee must be obtained in some more pleasing way. How about Turkeys debt incurred during the war-not the money which she bor- roVed from Germany, but the debt to the murdered Arrenians and Greeks, the debt to a world which has tal erated the Turk and believed his promises? The pre-War debt was some s650, ,OOO Oo0; the Turks mur- dered, according to the most mod crate estimate about S0O,O00 Ar menians. The Armenian massacres were the crowning proof that the Turks were unfit to rule anybody, par hcularly Christians; yet the sultan may be left in Constantinople, and with a part of Asia Minor, to be se-
