FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JULY IS, 1919
WILL PEACE BE PERMANENT?

"Of the increase Of his government
and OF peace there shall be no end.
-Isaih, tx, 2.
When the ringing Of bells and the
blowing Of whistles on June % an
nOunced the advent Of peace many
exclaimed, Peace has come at last,
but will it be permanent" Its per
manence depends on the insight OF
one inCo the high purpose Of another
people.
Nations must have the same or
similar ideals as a basis Of agree
ment. One easily recognizes the
ideals Of his own nation but denies
them to other peoples.
Americans going to Europe during
the war have been surprised at the
sacrifices Of the British for the sake
OF liberty. There men and women
were working in the bomb factories
where the heat registered three hun
dred degrees. Some were handling
dynamite and INT. Their faces and
bodies turned yellow and broke out
in sores The workers generally
last about two months.
TO the American straight from
peace and luxury these sacrifices
were appalling. He did not know
the British were such people. he
did not think it was in them till he
saw it with his own eyes. He found
the British holding to the very ideals
that we venerate.
So in France. During the most
terrible period of the war, when the
American soldiers arrived in France
the French children fell upon their
knees before the American flag and
practically worshipped it. They
looked on the American soldiers as
their redeemers. They showered
fresh flowers upon them and cried,
give la France" give la France!"
The French people, as well as the
British, partake of our aspirations.
Never in all history have mems
thoughts been revolving in such
similar orbits as they are now doing.
Four men sat together at hotel
dinner table few days ago. One
was an English captain who ex-
pected to be in Britain in ten days;
a second was an Italian who is to
reach Italy in eighteen days; a third
was an American who arrives in
Turkey i'm a month; the fourth was
a stay-at-home American But all
four were expressing the same in
spired notions of justice, freedom
and humanity which they are taking
to the four corners of the earth
As Alexander the Great with his
myriads overran the entire East and
carried with him the conceptions Of
the noble Socrates, Plato and Aris-
totle with which to Hellenic the
Orient, 50 the American armies have
swarmed over Europe Americanizing
and humanizing the world.
This very month numerous col
leges and universities are sending
forth multitudes Of highly educated
young men and women full of the
Hottest and latest conceptions Of
human rights and duties. But, TAX
ing a wider sweep, you find students
OF Japan, China, India and Asia
Minor awakening to the light OF
dawning freedom.
We Americans ordinarily think of
the unspeakable Turk as the very

embodiment OF depotism. But many
OF the young men, especially those
who have witnessed the Armenian
atrocities, have come to hate bitterly
the Turkish government.
During the Gallipoli campaign, on
the morning Of the bombardment Of
the Smyrna forts by the British, q
young Turk who had been Christian
lied came to his teacher and said
This morning 7 was awakened by
the voices Of angels, crying Awake!
Awake! Liberty has come! The evil
days are ended"
Now said he, 1T was not an
angel, but the voices Of the English
guns; yet they spoke to me, as al
angel would, Of liberty and justice!
They said, "We come to end all tears
to end the reign of cruelty; to end
the evil. of human life This IS
what the guns seemed to say"
When We look upon the British
as heroes, on the French as wor-
shippers of our flag, on the Turks as
potential lovers Of liberty and on al
nations as capable Of exalted lur-
poses then we shall maintain ideal
international relations.

''The New York Sun" also feels that
the admiral has done the great Ameri-
can sewing circle an injustice, declaring:
"The commander of the Atlantic Fleet
does wrong to sewing circles and their
members. These useful organizations are,
rule, models of equitable cooperation.
The homes of the members are used in
turn, and each lady brings her quota of
materials. The expense falls alike on each
Dorcas. If any one felt that she was be-
ing taken in by the others in providing
sandwiches and ice cream she would quickly
leave the circle"
And then the editorial quotes another
of the skeptics, Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts:
yesterday Mr.. Lodge expressed the un-
certainty in which the Senate, which has
the last word on treaties, is kept, and the
uneasiness with which the adventure of the
Lady Columbia is regarded:
"'We seem already to have involved
ourselves in serious difference with Aus
tralia and the Beers. don't know just
what are doing and hence speak with
some hesitation. The Senate is kept in
the dark about it all except for casual
and unofficial dispatches.
eve apparently have agreed to guar
-. antee and sustain lot of states and
republics made of Hottentots.
"The people Of this country have no
except, of course, to look after our own
interests, as in Guam. Why we should go
into an arrangement which involves us in
difficulties with the Australians and
Beers, whose friendship is important to
US, I cannot see.'
"Our troops are in Russia our troops are
slated for Turkey, our troops are wanted
in every quarter Of the earth to do some
other nations job. Our money is talked
of as if American gold were as cheap as
salt and if it belonged in every land
except these United States.
"Mrs. Columbia should put on her wraps
and go home. The fire of patience is 60
ing out and the children are crying loudly
because their taxes hurt them"
Congressman Julius Kahn, of San
Francisco, also registered distrust when
he said in a recent New York speech:
81 am one Of those who have not become
convinced that the millennium has dawneo
| contend war is not thing Of the past.
"Many we'll meaning and highly educated
persons seem to be of the impression that

could bring myself to that belief. They
hope that at the peace conference the ma

If the Sewing Circle Breaks Up! What
NHERE still seem to be a number
of persons in the United States

THERE still seem to be a number
of persons in the United States
Il who believe that the millennium
will not arrive with the accept
ance of the league Of nations, and that
war is not yet a thing out of the ques-
ton. Most sensational among our re-
cent skeptics is Admiral Henry T. Mayo,
who has stated before the House Naval
Affairs Committee: "The League of
Nations is rapidly getting down to a
sewing circle, with no means of en-
forcement and no international police
power"
And then he proposed naval pro-
gramme which would cost we'll toward a
billion dollars annually to maintain.
Closely following The admiral cron-
ologically comes President A. Law
renee Lowell of Harvard University
with a suggestion that the < war be
incorporated in the college curriculum
Then there is Senator New, of Indiana,
who has started discussion on a ra-
tional plan of military training; and
General Leonard Wood, who still be-
lieves that preparedness can stop wars
and who is combining education and mil
itary training in his cantonment.
Outside of America the skeptics also
speak. Among them we may number
"Vorwarts," that famous Social Demo-
crat publication of the vaterland, with
it's checkered career of suppressions and
revivals, and on the opposite side of the
balance NJ. Lausanne, the we'll known
editor of the Paris "Matin."
But to return to Admiral Mayo and
the Sewing circle" Don Marquis in
"The New York Evening Sun" believes
that having the league as sewing circle
is not such a bad idea after all. Out of
our national sewing circles have ema-
mated many ideas that have gone so far
as to figure in our national legislation.
He even attempts to project his soul
into the future, therein to glimpse some
Of the fourteen thousand points of the
sewing circle league:
"Bull fights, grand opera, moving picture
shows, poetry, the drinking of alcoholic
beverage, the discussion Of anything polit-
zeal not certified as discussble by the
Sewing Circle, short skirts, pointed shoes,
corsets, lip rouge, coffee houses, cigarette
smoking, surf bathing without chaperone
in a sealskin sacque, charades, kissing
games as practised in New England, the
Middle West and Australia, sport Shirts

limericks, stories not certified by the
pastor, wallpaper, undraped statues, liter

Anthony Comstock, monuments whose

tions will agree to plan of disarmament.
These good intentioned dreamers seem to
forget some of the lessons Of history.
That plan of disarmament was tried by the
great Napoleon.
"But in our own time Germany has
taught US that nations can prepare for war
not alone under the very noses of her
neighboring states, but under the strict
surveillance of the world generally.
"For that reason am strongly in favor
of universal training for the American
youth. Under such policy we would have
no need for huge standing army"
To judge from "Vorwarts' growl of
discomfort it would seem that the dis
believers in the golden age have a GER
tain right to their disbelief. Says that
journal:
ut appears more and more as if it were
the intention Of the western imperialists
to leave Mr.. Wilson the merely musical
and declamatory rules Of the performance
and to reserve to themselves the business
end Of the show.
owe Germans would prefer an honest
imperial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT adorned with
ethical and oratorical phrases But since
America has not yet agreed to the pact
we shall later see whether America can do
anything except make speeches.
Says M. Lausanne for France:
mo problem has ever produced such a
strange effect on the spirit of a people
as the problem of the league of nations
on the spirit of France. The French are
attracted by the league Of nations and they
fear it; they consider it desirable and i'm
practicable; they will help to its realization
with all their soul and heart and will
nevertheless, they will not be overdis-
pleased if it fails
"France will rejoice if she is mistaken.
She will certainly not delay a single hour
the organization Of league of nations,
but she will believe in the efficacy of such
a league only when she has seen it work
above all, when she has seen it deal out
just punishment. Who can blame her? No
city in the world could have confidence in
its police if ordinances were continually
being enacted, but no transgressors were
ever arrested"
And from the plains of Texas "The
Ell Paso Morning Times" puts query
eve are told the details will necessarily
have to be worked out in future months
possibly future years-but that the stem
ming 6f the tide of war and the assuring
to the peoples of the world of an endless
peace must now be declared in the an
nouncement of favorable action by the
peace conference. 1t is nothing more than
a plea for something that has been out
lined and planned and finally approved. So

relying on them to the disregard of individ-
uallstic national defence, and thus the seeds
of war will remain.
IF there is to be no supersovereignty,
no international police force and no dis
armament, then there will be no league of
peace as the world has understood and been
solaced by the phrase. Mankind will suffer
defeat and the distrust breeders who have
worked to tear apart the concert cemented
in common sacrifices may claim to have
triumphed.''

publishes tentative forecast of the
principles on which the new federal
constitution is expected to rest. 1t says:
