"a HANDSOME DEED"

There appears to be considerable differences of
opinion among British officials over the scuttling of
their nterned ships by the German crews, but the
German comment appears at this distance to fit the
little better than anything the British have said
"A deed of folly, but handsome deed"
Much as Americans oathe German thought and
methods there is enough craftsmanship in all of us to
admire the fghtotheast spirit of those German crews
We all believe they did exactly what sailors would
have done under similar circumstances-and no doubt
Britons would have done likewise.
If any blames attaches to this incident of the war
and really it is but incident it papably attaches to
the British navy The world learned long ago thar the
German cannot be trusted in any case yet the German
crews apparently left in almost unguarded pos
session of their surrendered Ships and when they I'M
dertook their successful coup the Grand Fleet was far
away exercising with scarcely handful of small
craft left guard duty
There is this to be said in favor ce the sinking Of
the German navy, that it has been accomplished:
1t probably puts end to speculation as to how the
ships shall be divided among the Allied nations

STATE PRESS
WAIT A MINUTE

Hold Pause! Let deliberate!
Here comes serious matter, mates.
The Hon. William E. Borah, he of the expanded ego
and great pity for the world when he shall have leave
it, has delivered an ultimatum!
Borah puts the country on notice that if the Re
publican party approves the League of Nations he will
quit the party
So we call halt that may talk the matter over.
In such crisis it's and proper that something be
done, and that quickly, to avert this awful thing.
1t will never do to let Borah leave the Republican
party. For he might join the Democratic party. Then
there would be the very Old Nick to pay.
We dead stuck on this League of Nations mat
ter We believe it more to the world than any
thing that has happened along in our generation and
the opposition of William E. Borah has done a great
deal to confirm us in that belief
But when it comes to choosing between getting the
League of Nations and having open the doors of the
Democratic party Borah we must think the matter
before deciding what is best to be done
The Republican party is so welcome to Borah that
would be willing to take up collection to offer as
reward if the ary will agree to exert itself to keep
him. Then we'll take up another collection for Borah
provided he will promise not to join the Democratic
party. We do not doubt that both collections would be
large.
The announcement of Borah that he will quit his
party if his party shall fail follow him in his rejec
ton of the League of Nations shows plainly how far
the exaggerated ego of the knockkneed senator from
Idaho has led him into the fields of political uselessness
We want the League of Nations, but in getting it.,
may kind providence help the Democratic party to
cape the horror of having be threatened with
the acquisition of Borah-Albany Herald

pretends to represent the poor
A nation that fails to feed its citizens in the
midst of plenteous resources and willing workers
writes its own death warrant
We organized production preached practiced
and compelled economy, and collected billions in
taxes and gifts to fight starvation in Europe and
Asia. We watched and guarded against famine
IN far places. Serbia Armenia, Poland and Bel
GUM fed even at the expense of our own
tables We learned that famine and suffering
anywhere weakens the whole line that battles
for humanity and justice.
Even before the signing of peace we are pre-
pairing to feed our former enemies. We do this
becaues the war taught that misery anywhere
spreads physical, political and moral disease
everywhere.
We learned this lesson in war 1t applies in
peace We learned it internationally. We must
apply it within our own nation.
Famine and suffering in Armenia Serbia Po-
land or Belgium is no worse, more dangerous,
than in the slums and industrial districts of our
own country.
We are Justly proud of our response to the cry
of the ''Fatherless Children of France We
rightly congratulate ourselves upon saving the
lives of multitudes of Belgiuan children. We
cannot forever remain blind and Indifferent to
the terrible infant death rate caused by poverty

UNITED RUSSIA.

The German, perhaps, VINO mas SHOWN
anything like comprehension of the Allied ma
tons and their cause is Prince Lichnowsky. His
outspoken revelations in the pamphlet he wrote
about his term as Ambassador to England, it
will be recalled, showed clearly that England
wished peace and Germany wished war, and 1t
led to retirement SO strict to be pronounced
by some practically imprisonment. With the
downfall of the militarist party and the rise of
the revolution, he comes again to the front and
will have great influence in the peace negotia-
lions. In the Berliner Tageblatt he makes
known his ideas on the problems of peace, the
chief one just being Russia. He suggests
the establishment of federazed United States
of Russia, democratic autonomous basis.
All economic and geographical factors as well as
the majority of the ethnographical, he says, ia
vor this plan. Moreover, live and democratic
Russia would be invaluable as a market for Ger
man industry, Prince Lichnowsky holds, because
Germany does not need to interfere in
Balkan affairs, there be no opposition of pri-
vate interests between Germany and Russia.
His most doubtful suggestion, and the one
that will meet strongest criticism is his plan to
include PPoland in the great Russian federal re-
public. No allied statesman, as far as we have
seen favors any such resubmergence of the an
cent kingdom. If Poland remains as she is, he
argues, she will need outlet to the sea through
Danzig, and even if this town is not coded to
Poland it would speedily be Polonzed. On the
other hand, he holds that extension of Poland
far Libau would sever Germany from Rus
STA, and Polish industry would be directed to the
eastern markets. Prince Lichnowsky also COM
bats the cession of Posen and Silesa to Poland
which he claims would be equivalent to demand
by Germany for German Switzerland or German
Austria, and he opposes the union of German
Austria with Germany.
