Wilson Presents tho Treaty

THE President went before the Senate at
/ noon yesterday and submitted for rati-
fcation the peace treaty and covenant of
the league OF nations. representing the con-
crete result of the negotiations during his six
months mission abroad the representative
OF the American people in the great undertake
ing of arranging a just peace which should
secure permanent results in establishing a
new world order. in which the assurance of
liberty and self-government should be vouch-
safed to every people of the world
In his speech presenting the treaty, the
President attempted only general charac-
terization of its scope and purpose, leaving
to later discussion and to a study of the docu-
ment by the Senators themselves a conpre
hensive construction of its manifold provi-
sions in which he gave assurance that all the
services and all the information he possessed
would be frankly placed at the disposal OF the
Committee Foreign Relations.
He pointed out that the role America had
played in the war and the expectations that
had been created in the minds OF the people
with whom we had associated ourselves in
the great struggle brought into the negotia-
tions many complicated problems OF difficult
solution in order to arrive at the just settle
ment that accorded with the high purpose for
which America entered the war and the prn-
cples enunciated as a condition TO the sus-
pension of hostiities. to which purpose and
of this country firmly held throughout the
conference. Happily the President stated,
the difficulties, which were many, lay in the
circumstances, not often in the men. AL
most without exception the men who led had
caught the true and full vision of the prob
lem of peace indivisible whole prob
lem, not OF mere adjustments of interests, but
of justice and right action
With the treaty thus before the Senate and
made accessible TO the American public in its
fullest details by its authorized publication.
the document may be studied and scrutinized
in all its features, and whether in its con-
sideration the Senator'S shall rise above petty

Lessons From Other Citie..


To the Editor OF the Times Dispatch;
S!r.-ln visiting various cIt!es--cs-
pcc'ally Baltimore, Washington. Brook
lyn. and other smaller c,ies--I have
noticed several things in regard to
streets and sidewalks that appear TO
me OF Importance. and that contain
valuable suggestions and lessons as to
laying out streets and building them.
Notably is this true OF the suburban
parts OF these cities.
The territory sub-dividcd is not laid
on after the Checker board" plan,
that prevails in Richmond. Attention
Is paid To landscaping. and the ma
as far = possible. The consequences
!s there are many charming and et-
fective features preserved or cstaO-
lished. that. while rendering the work
cheaper, made for more beauty and
p!cturesqueness. Curves and hillside
routes are selected. beautiful glcns
and dales are preserved. Brooks and
email streams are fostered. The ma
tural undergrowths-espe the
trees-are guarded and protected. The
rural conditions and characteristics
where they exist. are strictly pre-
served. The result o. this wise sys-
tenn Is that these places are very
beautiful and attractive. wish |
could go into greater detail, but any
one who will think over this state
ment will i.aed!ately perceive the
picture here presented.
We have many sylvan places Ike
these within our corporate limits. Are
they to be destroyed. or MARRIED, al
least. by the terrible system that de-
rnands the ruin OF beauty and charm

this policy be abandoned. Why sacri-
