hts own simple remedy. He could have
started to work an hour later and quit
an hour later. The law didn't interfere
with that.
Evidently the Calder act has been the
victim Of a slight prejudice inflated to
the size Of a real grievance. It was
killed by psychological suggestion. The
substantial good it accomplished was not
fairly weighed against the trifing in
cohNeniences-aIl remediable--and the
Uncomfortable but hurtful animosities
which its operation caused. The one
wal measure which saved anybody any
thing has been cast aside. 1t is an ira
tional performance. In that respect,
perhaps, it fits in with the workings of
human nature, which is a queer COM
posite of the urgings which make for in
telligent progress and the foibles which
hold such progress back.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-20

AT a Brooklyn league Of peace meet
ing Edward III. Wilson quoted the fol-
lowing from an address by Mr.. Knox
in 1910:
fWe have reached a point where It
IS evident that the future holds in store
the time when war shall cease, when
the nations of the world shall realize q
federation as real and vital as that now
subsfsting between the component parts
Of single state, when by deliberate in
ternational convention tho strong shall
universally help the weak and when the
corporate righteousness Of the world
shall compel unrighteousness to dsap-
Sc pear and shall destroy the habtatons Of
cruelty still lingering in the dark places
of the earth"
After reading the foregoing, Mr..
Wilson remarked: '"Mr. .Knox's attitude
would seem now. to be opposed to any
sort of federation OF the nations of the
world or any international conventions"
When did MI. Knox ever express such
opposition? In January Mr. Knox
slletched several leagues acceptable to
him. His resolution in it's original form
expressly promised our aid If a crisis
arose again. Here was no spirit Of
aloofness. The section was deleted to
narrow the issue to the single point of
urging q separation Of covenant and
peacs proper. As to the peace league
idea, or even as to the covenant, the
resolution became colorless-was neither
for nor against.
Mr.. Wilson has, of course, no desire
to 1nisrspresent. But he has accepted
1nisstatannents as truth. Others are
similarly deceived. One of the mysteries
of the covenant discussion is the seem
ing determination to pettifpg.

the statesmen attending the peace confer

to the wound inflicted on him by Coffin

has changed most in appearance is undoubt-

bald on the top of his head, and the hair

The Army as a School

Secretary Baker is to be congratulated
on his policy for the new army-on his
purpose to make it a school as well as
military establishment. The conception
is a great one and it's adoption marks
great advance.
The young man who enters the army,
II ne makes fair use of his opportunities,
will reach his discharge not only
physically, Intellectually and morally
strengthened, but with special training
that will give him an advantage in civil
ian life. No fewer than forty callings arc
to be taught, many highly technical
taught in the best sort Of way, for prac-
tice will keep step with theory.
The educational appeal, meets re-
sponse. More are coming 70 the colors
than in the days Immediately preceding
our entry into tho war, when many
pressurcs were felt. Among the recruits
are many just out Of uniform. Some
have been over and want another Jour
ncy, and others were demobilized before
moving orders came, and want to go.
Tbs old armies were managed by off,
GERS who held to the motto: "Drill 'em,
work 'cm, hammer 'en,~--don't give esn
tins To Crouch" This new plan assumes
different psychology. Secretary Baker
looked into tho faces Of the mon assem-

The Cost OF Delay

Thu tin,e to have written the peace
treaty was November, not June. The
terms should have been presented ON the
heels of the armistica. Costly 1s Cfe
bl,,nder Of seeking to ser1body in tho
peace a solution pf all sorts tof compif-
Gated and delaying problems
Germany has been served by the post
uonenents, by the speechmak1ngs, ny
inevitable wranglings. The 1notrvB was
.do1htless noble, but fortunate will ba t11s
world if the consequences are not evil.
No negotiation wished to serve Gtsr>-
many. But she was served. Sf1s WEBS
prnstrate,: she was allowed to get up
She was encouraged to think her sur
render was not in fact unconditional.
She came to believe she was making a
bargain, not listening to a sentence after
trial and conviction.
If Germany does not sign on Mnnday,
those at Paris who have put other in
terests ahead of peace will bear heavy
burden, and sharers of their responsible
ity will be those elsewhere who hAVB
urged standing out for pet ideas.
To get peace with Germany it wasnnt
required to trace frontiers. This theory
was in the end abandoned. Nor WIS it
required to confuse by launching an in
terminabie league of peace discussion.
This problem primarily involves I1rttz1s-
Ally relations, not the relations hntwesn
the two sets of helliyerelrts,
What has been done cannot he un-
done. But the experience. should be 'nf
value if the hlI1nder .cumpefs further
military action. The next time may ftB
peace be written and signed as Napnlem
negotiated the treaty of Campo Formio-
that is, in twenty-four hours. When
parleys are long drawn ont they a1B
likely to effect little-witness the Treaty
of Ghent and the Peace of Vienna.
