AN AFTERMATH OF HATE

a LII THE WORLD was impressed by the
n high ideals and humanitarian motives
which actuated the United States in entering
and prosecuting the war. At the close OF the
great conflict there was universal disposition
to make a peace which should adopt America S
unsefishness in all International relations
The various people stood willing and waiting
for the United States to take the lead and
through the League of Nations to give force
and effect to this new order of things.
No sooner had the league emerged form
the Paris conference than it was attacked by
men in the very country which was everywhere
expected to vitalize and perpetuate 1t as
guarantee Of concord and justice between the
nations. AS this opposition in the United
States senate continued to grow in influence
and virulence the peoples Of Europe showed
signs first of bitter disappointment and then OF
despair. The workers, who are at once the
principal advocates of peace and the chief sui
ferers in war, began to doubt the establish
ment of the league. Their misgivings bred dis
content; they sought to obtain by strikes and
demonstrations what they believed they had
lost through the failure of the league. That
spirit of unrest and resentment and antago-
nism is manifest in the strikes and general dls-
quiet among Wage-earners in the United States.
The greatest war in history seemed at its
end to have accomplished the most promising
and permanent peace of history Men were
convinced that they need make fewer sacri-
fices to insure international understanding and
comfy than were required to conduct wars.
But instead of an aftermath of love, there has
. been an aftermath of hate.
Senator Lodge and his associates in the
fight against the treaty, against the League OF
Nations and against peace have disappointed
and embittered the world. They may have to
bear terrible responsibility. The temper of
European peoples today may easily bring a
breakdown of law. There may come reign
of anarchy. international war may have
ceased only to be followed by internal revolu-
tions. The League of Nations has been kept
out of operation for six months. That is long
time during which to deprive the whole world
Of a means of making and keeping peace.

A PHONY JEWEL

GAYS THE TULSA WORLD: Present our
~ compliments to Pussyfoot Johnson and adj
wise him that our judgment is that he got just
what is coming to any man who presumes to
tell other people how to run their business"
And yet the World castigated Governor
Robertson for saying that Senator Reed got
what was coming to him. at Ardmore.
Mr. Johnson by the way, was mobbed in
London when he was speaking in favor Of pro-
hibition, principle accepted by the Amen-
can people and adopted into the constitution.
Cable dispatches state that Mr.. Johnson prob
ably will lose the sight of one eye as result
of his injuries.
The Tulsa World is brutally inconsistent
Possibly the editor is one of those odtlme
Indian Territory birds whose feathers were
plucked by "Pussyfoot" when the latter was
in this territory as the special appointee OF
President Theodore Roosevelt, running down
the Shiny serpents commonly known as boot
leggers.
And, by the way, the World is one of those
newspapers which burn incense daily at the
shrine of Roosevelt.
Truly, Consistency art thou jewel but a
phony one withal!

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1S.-"The cost of the war in money alone was s197. GOO. .00O. 900 or $11,000. .000,000 more than the total property value of all Of North America" Secretary of War Newton D. Baker told a gathering of the Commonwealth club here, follow ing his arrival with General Peyton C. March, chief of staff. to inspect army posts here.
 "The deaths from wounds in battle numbered 7,300,0 900 and the total deaths in all the armies reached a grand total of 5000 ,000,' he said.
 Referring to the proposed league Of nations, Secretary Baker said: Unless such an organization was formed under some name and under some constitu- ton. anarchy bred by disease. hunger and despair would overwhelm the earth

 Secretary Baker and General March left late today for San Diego.
 But for the signing of the armistice the secretary told the club members Germanys armies would have been surrounded and captured. He con- tinued:
 Germany did not surrender because of industrial or political chaos at home but because she was militarily beater and she was beaten by an army o1 young Americans, who a year before had been behind counters and follow ing ploughs, practically none of whom ever had heard a shot fired in anger.

ABANDON UBIQUITOUS
 ROUTE RATES IN WEST
tRepubliean A. p. Leased WireI

WASHINGTON March 1S.-Com- petitive passenger rates over circuit ous routes in the western states and from the middle west to the Pacific coast will be eliminated April l. by new rate schedules issued by the railroad administration.
 The new schedule. it was learned to- night, provide specific fares on the basis of the general country-wide in- crease ordered last June. but do not change rates except on the circuitous routes.
 As an example of the circuitous route competition, railroad adminis- tration officials cite the Southern Pa ellie route from Chicago to San Fran cisco by way of New orleans. which is about 50 per cent longer than the direct route. Under private control, the southern Pacific competed over this route with more direct lines.
 The railroad administration has or dcred the abandonment of competition and the new rate schedules provide for Inc increase of rates over the longer routes.
 similar changes have been made on elher circuitous routes. but officials said in practically all the cases, the old tariff constituted paper rate which lew travellers actually used.
