THE LOVE OF QUIET
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright, 1319.)

There are some who dread loneli-
Iiness, and others to whom solitude is
a treasure.
And such is the mixed and para
doxical nature of our clay that there
are moods in which 1 feel myself to be
one of these persons. and other moods
where l am the other.
Sometimes the impulse is upon us to
go, to see and to act. We crave nov
the street throng, the crowded the
ater, the stirring game. the ballroom,
the excursion, business and battle.
And then again the pendulum OF
whim swings back. and we love our
sitting room, the familiar chair. the
worn table, the lamp and lounge and
bookcase, that have established dear
intimacy with us.
We want the long reaches of leis-
ure, the sense of having nothing to do
at 2 o'clock, the utter release from af-
fairs. so that we can taste lfe--live,
not live for something nor to do any
thing, but just live.
There is a certain fecundlty in quiet
There is q poise ard surety Of thought
that. comes only in unhurried spaces.
There is a slow building up of the in
ner powers in every epoch of rest.
Walter Pater, in his rare essay on
Charles Lamb. tells of how ito men of
Lambs delicately attuned tempera- :
ment mere physical stiffness has its
full value; such natures seeming to
long for it som etimes, as for no mere
ly negative thing. with sort of mys-
teal sensuality"
This quiet of Lambs, he says, was
not Of one drowsy by choice and need
ing some strong passion or worldly
ambition to stimulate him; but rather
the reaction of nature, after an es-
cape from fate. dark and insane as in
old Greek tragedy, following upon
which the sense of mere relief be-
comes kind of passion, as with one
who. having narrowly escaped earth
grateful tears in just sitting quiet at
home, under the wall, till the end of
days"
There are tragic shadows for all of
US. Every life, however free. has its
dreadful skeletons. its lurking hor-
rors; things that we fear to look at or
to think on. And the more finely tenn
pered the soul, the more frightful are
these reserves of morbidity which
ever and anon emerge from their dark
cells. where we try to lock them in,
and frighten us like baneful witches.
1t may be some hideous mistake you
have made. some secret you would
conceal, some relative who is source
of shame and sorrow to you, some
tendency to insanity in your blood or
a deadly disease that hangs over you
or over one you love.
1t Is from these night birds of evil,
and from the whole sad burden Of ex-
istence and responsibility. that we fly.
like Lamb. to the everlasting arms Of
the commonplace, and get a comfort
from the purring tea kettle and the
friendly ticking of the old clock that

Copenhagen, March 2S.--In a mem

Italy Announces Trading Condi-
tons Are On Basis Existing
Before War.
WARSHIpS TO PATROL
Until Peace Treaty Has Been Signed
Allied Cruisers VIII Reserve
Right to Search Any Merch-
ant Vessels.

Paris, March 2S.-The Italian dele
cation to the Peace conference notified
the conference of the suppression of
the military and commercial blockade
in the Adriatic by which trading in
the Adriatic returns to conditions that
existed before the war, except that
until peace is declared, Allied war
ships will have the right to search
merchantmen.
The return to Paris of one of the at
taches Of the American peace dele
cation who has been in Petrograd and
elsewhere in Bolshevist Russia has
given rise to report that there Is
under consideration a renewal of the
plan for bringing the Russian factions
together. either directly or through
third parties.
Americans Keep Mum.
If this is not feasible, the plan as
reported, is to develop clearly the ex-
act aims and propositions of the Sow
lent government so that the future re-
lations of Central Russia with the En-
tente and the United States can be
dealt with In the light of full infor-
nation. AS none of the American dele
gates feels at liberty to discuss the
matter, it is impossible at present to
confirm the report.
A subcommittee has been appointed
by the financial commission of the
Peace conference to deal with urgent
problems which must be considered in
framing the preliminary peace treaty
with Germany according to an official
statement
This commission meets daily" the
statement says, ito discuss such ques-
tion as the reappointment of the Ger
man public debt. the question of Ger
man state property in territories ceded
in the peace treaty and the order in
which the obligations of Germany
shall be imposed"
The technical experts OF the Ameri-
can peace delegation, in consultation
with experts of other delegations, have
been considering possible method for
carrying out project brought for,
ward yesterday to include all four
enemy powers in one peace treaty.
The fact that the United States was
never at war with Turkey and Bul.
garia complicates the matter, but the
opinion of the American experts Is to
the effect that this is not insurmount-
able and that it Is feasible for the
United States to sign such quadruple
treaty with an explanatory statement
that the United States accepts only
such portions of the treaty as directly
affect It.

and that is President Wilson," M. Ren.

HUGHES OPPOSES PACT
New Yorker Wants League of
Nations Plan Amended.
Says Error Has Been Made in Great
ing Impression Document Is
Finished Product.

New York, March 28.-Seven amend
ments to the league of nations cove
nant intended primarily by their au-
thor to insure the American continent
against European aggression, to pro-
tect the United States from enforced
administration of foreign territory and
to revoke the 'trouble-breeding"
guaranty of the existing political inde-
pendence of member nations, were
proposed by Charles E. Hughes.
Minor suggestions of the former Re
publican presidential candidate were
that definite limitation be placed upon
the leagues field of inquiry, reserving
to the several nations exclusive CON
troll of immigration, tariffs and other
internal problems, that provision be
made for the withdrawal of states
from the organization and that what
he termed an ambiguity as to the re-
quirement of unanimous decisions by
the league be cleared up.
In an address before the Union
League club, reviewing exhaustively
the terms of the proposed covenant,
Mr.. Hughes declared that the "Amer1-
can people were entitled to a better
piece of work"
He said mistake had been made in
giving the impression that the docu-
nlent was a finished product with a
good reason for it's choice of express
sions, when later 1t was found neces-
sary to excuse 1t as a hasty draft
which required revision.

Paris, March 28--The League OF Ma

sideration of the covenant, referring
it to a drafting committee consisting
of Colonel e. M. House, Lord Robert
Cecil and Ferdinand Larnaude, dean Of

Premiers Meet With Wilson.
President Wilson's study was the
center of interest as he with the pre-
miers of Great Britain, France and
Italy resumed the effort to settle the
questions standing in the way of
peace.
Previous to the meeting, Premier Or
lando spent an hour with Colonel K.

three vital issues obstructing progress.

Adratic Issue Most Stubborn.
The Adriatic issue is the most stub
born question remaining, with no indi-

reports of disorder at Spalato are not
confirmed by American reports direct
from that place. These latter reports
show the Serbs work, effectively and
peacefully, while the Italian admiral is
reported to be arresting a large num-
Der of Jugo-Slavs. When the Ameri-
cans intervened, the Italian reply, the
reports state, was that the United
States was not a party to the secret
treaty of London and therefore had no
status in the controversy. Such con-
ditions as these, it is pointed out, are
seriously hampering the solution of the
Adriatic question.
The Italian delegation has notified

Central powers at $6S.275, 100000.
