Peace League as lever for tIee:lhjfllileS

This article has been the sub
iect Of no little adverse criticism.
Senator Albert B. Cummins of
Iowa holds that unless it is chan
ged the world will be left in a
straitjacket. Any subtraction
from the territorial integrity of
the United Stated incident to the
liberation of the Philippines when
the granting of Philippine indie
pence is a voluntary act by the
United Stated would, however,
obviously not came under the ar
ticle quoted.
\ Democratic Senator who has
followed the developments of the
proposed League closely was as
ked about this situaciOn.
Il can see'', he said, "that to
give the Philippines their indie
pendence would tend to stir up
Irland and other subject coun-
tries to greater endeavOrs'.

ship of Ireland, but in order to
Illustrate a hypothetical case the
Senator was asked what Irland
could do if Great Britain refused
independence.
"That concerns Article 10", he
answered, "abOut which there has

Interpreted to mean that the
power of the League could be
used to go to the aid of men,

prevent revolution, like our own,
within the limits of the country
concerned. That is not true; the
authority Of the League is to be

If the League of Nations is for
med the Philippine Islands may
be the first illustration of sub
iect country granted indepen
dence because of the new secu-
ritv extended over the world by
the League. What effect this
would have on other countries
now agitating for independence.
such as Ireland and Korea may
be surmised but not calculated.
The Philippine Mission now vi
sitting Washington has brought a
plea for independence. President
Wilson, in a letter read by the
Secretary of War at the reception
given the mission on its arrival
in Washington expressed appro-
val of the Filipinos' desire for in
dependence at an early date, but
in the opinion of several Demo
cratic Senators known to be
strong supporters OF the Presl-
dent there is little likelihood OF ia
yOrable action at this time unless
the League of Nations goes thrOu-
gh. The Filipinos' cause is likely
to be employed in the debates as
a conspicuous example of the
need of the League, and to bring
TO the front the subject, already
much discussed, of how subject
countries who may hereafter be
come entitled OF their indepen
dence are to obtain it under the
League. Article 10 of the Cons
titution reads:
THE high contracting parties
shall undertake to respect and
preserve as against external az
gressi0n the territorial integrity
and existing political indepen
denceiof all States members of the
Leagfe." In case of any threat OF
danger of such aggression the
the Executive Council shall ad
wise upon the means by which the
obligation shall be fulfilled.

FOLKS!

Some people have the happy habit
of taking the lemons Fate hands
them and making them into
great, big, joyous, juicy
leming pie. But not SO with my CT
trous friend, Mr.. Sour. He couldn't
see the silver lining in a cloud of
trouble if it were peeled off, assayed,
labeled and delivered at his door pre-
paid parcel post.
Mr.. Sour is just sour on everything.
The word itself was named after
him. He IS the original acid-mouth
and wears red litmus paper as a SER
vice stripe in the button hole of his
coat lapel. And the worst thing
about him is that he is always spray
ing the lime frappe over~anybody and
everybody who happens to cross his
dyspeptic path.
When | meet Old Man Sour in the
morning he acts on me like a vinegar
pouItice for the whole day. And he
annoys everybody who gets within
annoying distance. When he has to
put his paper aside for a moment te
give the conductor his ticket, he com
plains that he has no more privacy
than canary. If the train is half 9
minute late in pulling in he says the
road is going to the CANNES. He adj
mits he doesn't know but he suspects
that things might be even worse un-
der permanent government owner
ship.
Mr.. Sour acidulates with persim
mon smile that now since the war il
over it seems more than likely thai
the darned old Bolsheviki will turn
the world upside down and there
won't be even a respectable poo
| house to go to when the coal maj
gets through with US. He says thu
grocery man is pilfering proiteer
He can prove that the doctor is ;
plain porch climber. He claims h
paid more for his last suit than hi
tailor paid for the buttons. And h,
insists that the income tax law vii
drive him to wearing celluloid col
lars.
He has half a dozen Indictment
/ against every one he does bushes

a new and genuine democracy must
come.
"Will no. finer courage character
ize the conduct of individuals in the
future as we see wounded men and
think of the suffering of the trenches?
We will be ashamed to whine at our
lesser difficulties and minor incon-
veniences. It is going to be the
fashion to be brave and not complain
ing.
Unto the business world has come,
through the war, a new sense of pub
lie service. The business man is no
longer merely a selfish profiteer. The
war has revealed him to himself as a
servant of the community. He profits
most who serves best,' is the motto
of the Rotary Club.
consciously or unconsciously it
has become the motto of 90 per cent
of the business community. We had
always thought of the banker as rath-
er cold and calculating and not given
to enthusiasms, but who can measure
the splendid service which the banks
periodically and unselfshly have rem
'dered the community in the Liberty
loan campaign. Never again can
business be entirely selfish. The bus
inessman has discovered that he is q
public servant.
"a new reverence of home is com
ing out of this war, unless I am very
much mistaken. The millions of mer
who have been deprived of their
homes are coming back to them with
new appreciation. When we are at
home we seldom express our appreci-
alton, but these boys far away in
army camps, sitting down in Y. M. c.

REGULATIONS FOR CONTROL :
OF GERMAN ARMY
(By Associated Press)

Berne, Feb. Under the new
regulations which have been issued
relative to the control of the German
army, the power of the Soldiers
Councils will be greatly diminished.
The Prussian minister of war will,
through the army officers be charged
with responsibility for the temper
ance and leadership of his men. He
will be supreme chief of the army
and he alone will have power to pro
mote officers and soldiers.
Soldiers Councils will be formed
by all garrisons, regiments or batta-
lions to watch over the activities of
officers and see that military autho-
rity is not used against the govern
nent. They must be consulted as
to permanent regulations relative to
feeding the troops, the granting OF
leave and discipline, but beyond that
they are under strict limitation.

What Was the War Worth ?

"The world has learned a deeper
honor for integrity through the ex
ample of Belgium defending her neu
traity with her life, and England win.
dicating her pledge to maintain thai
neutrality, while Germany contemptu-
ously tore up her pledge, treating il
as scrap of paper. All of these
things must have a tremendous effect
on our regard for the keeping of con-
tracts and making our word as good
as our bond. Every boy in the allied
countries has new impetus to be
honest, because this war has been
| fought to vindicate the sanctity of
| treaties.
"The war has taught US anew how
to sacrifice for an ideal. Men have
not gone into it for the money that
they could make. Profteering has
been held up to scorn and men have
laid down their lives through loyalty
for liberty and freedom. This can
not help but show it's effect in finer
response to the call Of ideals in per-
sonal life.
A deeper regard for the sanctity of
human life is one of the great ethical
products of this war. Germany's
ruthless submarine campaign and
terrible atrocities to Belgium have
outraged the moral sensibilities of the
world. The result is a renewed en-
phasis upon the sanctity of human
life on the part of the rest of man
kind. Suppose that Germany had
won! What a ruthless world it
would have been. How cheap human
life, how uncared for human suffer-
ing.
"But now the one great note is re-
gard for humanity. Premier Glenn
enceau illustrated this most clearly
the other day when he said: "One of
our duties in the first hours of peace
must be to aid Germany. We are not
warning against humanity but for
humanity"
Zone of the great revelations the
Germans are going to have is the
treatment they will receive from the
allied troops along the border. One
likes to think of the contrast between
the overbearing German officer and
the typical British, French and Am
erican soldiers as the German people
will come in contact with them dur
ing the period of occupation.
Democracy and cooperation are
going to characterize the life of the
community in the future. AS individ-
uals we are going to be much more
democratic because of our expe-
riences in working together for the
Red Cross and Liberty loan drives.
"The soldiers are coming back af-
ter new experiences of democracy in
the training camps and on the battle
field. The old snobbery is dead and
