Bright Outlook for
Peace Ratification

IMNRHILE the large majority by
wv which the Lodge Shantung
amendment was defeated in the Sen
ate does not necessarily assure a
ratification Of the treaty and cove
nant of nations, which requires two
thirds majority, the outlook for the
treaty is bright-much brighter than
it has been since the fight began.
Many republicans voted against
Lodges amendment and when the
final vote comes it is believed that
many more viii be found on the patri-
otto side.
AS Secretary of State Lansing said
in an address before the University
of New York yesterday, pleading for
the adoption Of the league of nations
in its present form, it should be
adopted eff for no other reason than
that to reject it would be to discour-
age future attempts to obtain unity
of action among the nations in an
effort to avoid international conflict. p"
The debate in the Senate has gone
on too long. Not single point has
been brought out why the treaty
should not be ratified. All the so-called
arguments have been utterly lacking
lin convincing force. They were adj
vanced for partisan purposes, but have
failed to strengthen the republican
organization.
1t is time for Americanism to pre-
vail. Mr.. Lansing has summed
lup the question succinctly.
The republican party can gain moth
ing for itself by attempting to defeat
a momentous proposition that the
American people favor by an over
whelming majority.

PROHIBITION IN NORWAY

Alcohol into one of his ancient strong
holds. 1t could hardly have been that the
Norsemen of the early days were a
race of drunkards. They achieved too
much The bold enterprises on land and
sea in which they engaged required clear
heads and steady nerves; but there is
no doubt that all the Scandinavian peo-
pie have been stout drinkers, and in
early times esteemed it a virtue rather
than a vice.
Longfellow tells us of King Olaf keep

He made of the cross divine

The story of the whistle of which
Burns wrote was in respect to a Dane
who came into Scotland in the train of
a visiting princess. The Danes and the
Norwegians are very nearly the same
sort of people. This particular Dane had
a little ebony whistle that was won as
a trophy for stout drinking. The stunt
was for a party to assemble around a

handling, but most of all the loss
can be traced to poor warehousing, or
rather the lack of warehousing. The
warehouse is the economic solution of
the problem Of anti-waste. If the
farmer avails himself of the ware
house the waste will be reduced to a
minimum.
If the cotton conference had accom-
plished nothing more than wake the
grower up to the waste question, its
meeting would have been well worth
while.

Scotland when his visit there expired.
A Scotch gentleman, one Ferguson, en-

was under the table, Burns relates:
'"Blew on the whistle a requiem shrill."
II has been suggested that none but
a native could stand Scotch whisky, but
any way the Dane did his best, and he

Waste in Cotton
By Bad Handling

NNURING the war the necessity of
~ the conservation of food and
other essential commodities was
stressed and practical results were
obtained, but the waste of cotton by
poor handling was seldom referred to.
This important subject is one of
the chief topics discussed in the world
cotton conference in session at New
Orleans.
While no estimated figures of Che
waste were given, it can be readily
seen that the loss has amounted an
nually to millions OF dollars.
The blame is largely with the farm
crs, who allow cotton to remain in
the fields to rot. The transportation
companies are to blame for poor

Unfortunate French Soldier
Who Prefers to Stay Dead

mNE of the countless minor TRACE
+ W dies growing out of the war is
related in dispatch from Geneva. A
French corporal, doomed to go
through life horribly disfigured, is the
hero of this modern version of the
story of Enoch Arden.
The corporal left a wife and child
at home when he answered the call
to the colors. At Verdun he was
wounded His Identification tag was
lost and he was reported dead. He
was picked up on the field by German
Red Cross workers and a German
doctor healed his wounds, but the
scars remained and the unfortunate
corporal now calls himself the 'ugli-
est man in Europe"
On a recent visit to Lyons he saw
his wife and child, accompanied by
her new husband. The woman, be-
lieving her husband dead, had mar
ried one of his comrades. The cor
poral did not intervene. He said his
wife would not recognize him, she
seemed happy and he would leave her
in peace.
The tale sounds exaggerated, yet
it must have been duplicated many
times during the world war. Thanks
to the fiendish ingenuity of science
ia perfecting new instruments of de-
struction, soldiers were injured in
more grotesque ways than ever be-
fore. Hospital attendants, Red Cross
workers and even surgeons them
selves who have come in contact with
cases of facial Disagreement have
found it difficult to bear the sight of
men who looked more like monsters
from some inferno than human be-
ingz. Yet, plastic surgery has worked
marvels. New faces have been pro-
vided, missing noses, jawbones, cars
and other features have been replaced
and after months of patient work dis
figured soldiers have been restored to
= semblance of their former selves.
The luckless French corporal might
have Jared better in French or an
American hospital, but it was unlikely
that he would be given such treat
ment by German surgeon, who
doubtless had his hands full, anyhow,
caring for German wounded.
