The World Remade.


 The terms of the treaty of peace made public on May give an accurate idea of the transformation which has been wrought in the governments of the world by four years of war. Among the belligerents and principal neutrals the most striking changes are the following
 The governments in these six cou11- tries have been overthroWn:
 Germany, Austria Hungary, Russia, Bulga ria, Turkey, Greece.
 Sweeping governmental changes have also occurred in the following countries:
 Montenegro, Portugal, China, Lux embury, Serbia.
 Five new nations have assumed deti- mite shape:
 Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Poland, Finland, Hedjaz.
 The vast German colonies have passed under the mandate of the British Empire, Australia, New Zea~ land, the Union of South Africa and Japan.
 Lands whose status, called into question during the war, is still mat ter for final adjustment are the fol- lowing:
 Adriatic Seaboard. Albania, Ar menia, Asia Minor. Courland, Dode- canese Islands, Epirus, Esthonia, Georgia, Ireland, Korea, Lettonia, Lithuania, Livonia. Loyal Russia (si- beria, Archangel Transcaucasia, area controlled by forces of Admiral Kol- chak and General Denikine, etc.), Palestine, Tyrol, Ukraine. Vorarlberg.
 (Territories the disposition of which is more or less determined, although it has not yet been finally settled, are omitted from the above list Such territories include Macedonia, Do- brudja, Pennsylvania, etc.)
 Governments remain as they were except for changes in personnel, in the following countries;
 United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Japan, Rumania, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Switzerland. .'
 Two heads Of governments died natural deaths during the war--Franz Josef, Emperor of Austria Hungary, and King Carol of Rumania. Another. President Paes of Portugal was as- sassinated. As for Car Nicholas of Russia, there is the strongest of evi-. dence that he has been executed hy the Bolsheviki
 Of the six countries in which the government was overthroWn, three have changed from a monarchial to a non-m onarchial regime-Germany Austria Hungary and Russia Bull garia and Greece have remained king doms, and the Sultan of Turkey re- tains the same shadowy suzerainty which he held when war broke out.
 In the other five countries where the war brought sweeping changes of government two-Portugal and China remain republics; tWo-Luxemhurg and Serbia-remain monarchies. The ffth-Monteneg negro-disappear as an independent nation, and. according to present signs, will become a part of the new Jugoslavfa. The great change that has come over Serbia is that she will become part of the new King dom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes" (the official name of what is better known as Jugoslavia), instead of forming, as heretofore, small Balkan kingdom.
 Of the five nations that have sprung into definite being as a result Of the war, three are republics tzechoslovakia, Poland and Finland. TWO are narchies-Jugoslavia and Hedjaz.

Inc Great American ProparauJa

Eas (Cncle Dudley in the Boston Globe
 A section of the British press has been growing quite agitated over tho prevalence in England, Canada and Australia of an American propa ganda.
 An American propaganda? Of what sort? Why, no other than our old friend, the film. It appears that Charlie Chapln's wiggle is as cele- brated in Spain as it is justly popular in Massachusetts, and that the Scot tish scenery which Mary Pickford adorned off Marblehead is quite as satisfactory to Aberdeen as if the Pride of the Clan had been filmed at Skerryvcore
 Now If you were merely a London navy or an Australian hushWha cker, all you would need do would be pay your admission fee and extract the maximum of cackles and thrills com patible with the welfare of your con- stitution; but if you were a statesman you would have to consider the insidu- ous influence of this propaganda on the minds of the masses.
 American clothes, American slang, American house interiors (well, that is, scene-shifter's idea of them) American scenery, American ideas,
 
 lecture, American fashions, Amer- can standards and a certain persistent and deadly assumption that one follew is about as good as the next-such are the subtle persua- sions of this subversive propaganda.
 What is this hulla baIloo in the suburbs of Liverpool? The 10-year- old command ders- to-be of the British merchant marine are crashing through the box hedges of irate nnighbors in pursuit of redskins. What under the canopy possessed long, lean Ethelbert to clout his stumpy playmate, Cyril, over the pate with cricket bat? Under cross eSamina ton it would appear that the pair had drawn their inspiration from Budd Fisher and were Mutt andJeffing it a few. Is there a sud den epidemic of pie-throwing in Can ada, or New Zealand? Are victims labcriously excavatng their features from the soft, expansive substances of Catapultic pastry? It is recalled by the authorities that at the climax of a given American film the hero expresses strong emotion by this culinary gesture.
