Harvey's Weekly: Now this is tn,
story of the new triple alliance:
The prime minister of France
speaking in the chamber of deputie.
in December last, said:
There is an old system OF alli-
aIceS called the balance OF
powell" 1t seems to be con-
demned nowadays: but if such
balance had preceded the war
If England, the United States,
France and Italy, say. had agreed
/ that whoever attacked one Of
them attacked the whole, the war
would not have occurred The
| system of alliances. which I do
! not renounce. will be my guiding
| thought at the peace conference.
The president of the United States
replied. promptly and directly. at
Manchester. saying:
II the future had nothing for
us but new attempt to keep
the world at a right poise by
balance of power. the United
States would take no interest in
it; because she will join no COM
bination of powers which is not
combination of all of u.s.
In addition to this challenge to
M. Clemenceau, the president also
said
There can be no alliances or
leagues or special understand
1ngs within the general or com
mon family of the league
Despite these particularly explicit
and positive declarations to the
effect that the United States would
enter no combination of powers
save a universal league of nations,
and that no limited alliance could
possibly be formed by any members
OF the league, rumors arose that in
order to mollify NJ. Clemenceau and
to secure the support of France for
the league. the president was nego-
tating a tripartite treaty, of Amer
lea, Great Britain and France, for
the special protection of the last
named. Referring to these. the
presidents secretary, Mr. Joseph P.
Tumulty, in April proclaimed to the
world:
In view of the fact that certain
newspapers Of wide circulation
have iptimated that the presi-
dent had entered into a secret
alliance or treaty with some Of
the great powers, I conveyed this
information to the president, and
am in receipt of cablegram
from him giving positive and un-
Qualified denial to tbs story.
Since then the president himself
las lifted the veil of secrecy with |
his authoritative declaration:
have promised to propose to
the senate a supplement Ito the
treaty Of peace) In which we
shall agree, subject to the ap-
prevail of the council of the
league of nations, to come imme-
diate.y TO the aid of France in
case of unprovoked attack by
Germany.
Finally, the text of the treaty.

sessed of the idea that he ought to
preach the gospel. The young farmer
recited the story of the inspired sum-
mons as diyinely lettered on the
blades OF corn. only to be told that
he had entirely misinterpreted the
omen, that what p. c. meant was
to pillow corn. Perhaps Mr.. Woods
likewise is misinterpreting the signs.

Too Much Spread

To the Editor of The Gate City:
One Of the things that Keokuk
needs and needs badly is public
square in the lower part of the bust
ness district. If we had a public
square some place between Third
and Sixth streets and Johnson and
Blondeau streets it would do lot to
make one of the latter streets good
business street.
Keokuk is not dead 1t is far from
dead; but the one long business
street with its fourteen or so blocks
of stores spreads the business out
too much and causes the appearance
which gives SO many of the visitors
to Keokuk the idea that Keokuk is
dead.
Keokuk should have at least two
if not three or four good business
streets and cross streets. This would
cause congestion and, as all know,
congestion is the life Of city. What
more can you find In a lively city
than you can in Keokuk outside Of
congestion? A law prohibiting the
building Of business houses above
Ninth or Tenth streets would be a
mighty good thing for Keokuk.

Vinton Eagle: A great many Of the
democrats are Of the opinion that Nc
Adoo will be the mex: democratic can
didate for president. They should
bear in mind the fact that McAdoo is
not forlorn-hoper. If he becomes 4
candidate it will be because he is con-
fident of getting home with the bacon.
And where will he be able to gain this
confidence?
