Prussia evaded the provisions of the

viii Germany Sign?

DARlS, April 1S.-The announcement
that the Germans are coming to
Versailles on April 25 serves to indi-
cate that the conferences in Paris are
drawing to a close, that solution has
been at least sketched for the large st
problems that affect Germany. Five
months and half after the armistice
the Germans will be asked to sign a
treaty OF peace. They will be allowed
fifteen days of grace, to expire on Nav
10, the anniversary of the Treaty Of
Frankfort,
Two great questions arise, still un-
answered, with the arrival of the Ger
mans in sight.
The first is;
What exactly are the terms of
peace?
The second;

and is once again attacking her tre-
mendous burdens with her old spirit.
Italy, faced for a time with grave
disorders, is now presenting a much
more hopeful face to the world.
The civilization which the world
had built up before the war was
a solvent civilization. With all it's
shortcomings it had nevertheless
sufficient surplus to extend it's power
each year, to wrest a little more ter
ritory from darkness and to give its
benefits to more millions of weaker
races. For four years this surplus
has been utilized elsewhere, and it
may even be true that some of the
stored-up energy has been expended.
But, generally speaking, the produc-
tive power of the world has not been
impaired. If work were to start to-
morrow in every factory where it
was carried on previous to the war,
the surplus would again be pro-
duced.
The minds of ordinary men were
so occupied during the war with the
daily problems which the war
brought with it that they had little
time for taking stock of the general
world situation. The state of the
ledger was of little interest. The
main lillilS Ndo W lulllll inc con-
tract. During the let-down which
followed the armistice, men began
to figure up their status. The
knowledge of the extent to which
the surplus had been exhausted
spread in gradually widening circles
through the world, bringing aston
ishment and panic to the unthinking,
and causing grave concern even to
wiser men.
1t was only few weeks ago that
this knowledge reached its widest
diffusion and affected the equanimity
of the greatest number of people.
1t so happened, therefore, that the
most competent observers had dis
counted the dangers of the situation
by the time that u comprehension
of it had become widely spread. AS
these trained observers reckoned up
the worlds resources, they invariably
reached the conclusions that the
productive power of the world had
not been impaired; as their
auth horitative view became more
widely known and their judgment
was accepted by men in positions of
leadership, pessimism gradually sub

WITHIN HIS RIGHTS

THE liquor dealers of England
are making q great ado over
what they term an American
invasion of British rights" by Will
liam E. Johnson, all organizer of
the American Antl-Saloon League,
who is in that country at the in
vitation of London temperance
leaders to give them hints on how
to mako the British Isles dry.
"Meddler," cheeky Yankee" in
terloper" and foreign invader" are
some of the pretty names Johnson
has been called by panicky persons
who fear their business of provid-
ing the English people with strong
drink may be taken away from
them.
Mr.. Johnson has a perfect right
in England. He went there not as
an "interloper," but at the invitation
of good thinking English people
who would rid the country of the
curse of alcohol. But even though
he went of his own accord, he
would still be as much within his
rights as the Scotch whisky makers
and the English ale brewers who
used to advertise their wares in
American periodicals, spreading
their sales of propaganda far and
wide. What is sauce for the goose
Is sauce for the gander.

[From Guaranty Trusts Bulletin.
A CCUMULATED evidence gath
u cred by competent observers
leaves now little room for
doubt that the lowest point in the
economic state of the world was
passed some time back and that
whatever may be the temper of the
present moment, from this time
forth progress must be ever more
rapid toward stability and prosper
ity.
To support this view there is, in
the first place. this obvious fact:
that while production may not have
increased at rate sufficient to
make the entire satisfaction of the
worlds needs a matter of less than
years, yet the great waste of staple
commo odities, which the continued
prosecution of the war involved, has
been almost entirely stopped. The
destruction of life, too, has ended
and the men engaged directly or in
directly in such destruction are now,
each of them, an asset for construc-
tive effort. During the years that
the war lasted, the world was able
to feed itself and clothe itself, despite
the great proportion of its resources
that were being consumed in the
struggle. That toll is no longer being
eXacted, and has not been eXacted
since November IL. The world is,
therefore, richer by the amount it
has saved by merely ceasing to fight.
The transition from peace to war
was slow and wasteful operation
even in the countries best prepared
for the struggle. The transition
from war to peace, with all the re-
adjustment of industry that it i'm
plies, is but little less difficult. 1t
has, however, this advantage. That
whatever progress is made is so
much positive progress, each painful
step being an actual gain, each fac
tory restored to production taking
the world that much further from
the edge of the precipice to which
1t had so nearly approached, each
individual who undertakes again the
task which was his during pre-war
days assisting, by the extent of his
effort, in the general revival.
That such progress is being made
cannot be doubted. To the most
pessimistic observer the strides that
Belgium has made must be appar-
ent. France has passed the crisis,

is America more moral than Ja-
PAM" asks an American church
publication, and then goes on to
prove, by implication at any rate,
that she isn't, chiefly because Japa-
nese moving pictures are kissless-
and ours aren't.
The publication quotes this from
the Japanese Society Bulletin: The
police of Japan do not like to see
kissing in public. and therefore film
stars are not permitted to osculate
on the screen. From November 1
last to March l the police censor re-
moved 1850 kisses from films. Only
one KISS was allowed to remain. 1t
was kiss granted to Columbus by
queen Isabella, and was shown in
TOXIC only. Then the censors wiped
IL out before permitting the photo
! play TO be exhibited in the Japanese
/ provinces"
Mind you, there is no suggestion
IN the Japanese Society Bulletin that
J the police do not like to see kissing
IN public because they have any
fault to find with a kiss as a kiss.
Ihe American church publication is
responsible for that inference. For
all we know, the conduct of the
japanese police may be due to an
( uncomfortable envy, or to the atti-
tude that u kiss is too enjoyable to
be shared with the public. AS a
matter of fact, however to be quite
serious, the Japanese do not kiss al
all, whether in public or private. II
isn't because they consider it i'm
moral-or unsanitary, either-but
because it isn't the custom, that's
all.

Once upon a midnight dreary, came
a traveller weak and weary,
To a Sergeant who was standing
at an Army station door.
He said: "Pardner. l am tired of
the work where I've been
hired,
Do not think that I've been
fired;
But I'm coming back once more"
ITO the Army where I'm wanted; all
my dreams they have been
haunted
By the voices of my comrades
calling from a foreign shore.
And I've missed the bugles calling
Do noI think that l am STALL
ing
But civilian life's appalling,
And I'm coming back once more"
"I'l be right here in the morning
and you'll find my name
adorning
One of your enlistment papers as
it often has before.
For the pay is an attra ction; this
high living's a distraction,
And I'm sure of satisfaction
With the Army life once more"
Now the moral of this story isn't
blood curdling or CORY,
1t is that the life in Olive Drab's
alluring as before.

desire to serve is burning,
For the service they are yearn-
ing,

provide promptly and generously
the necessary funds. The Kipona is
more than remarkable river spec
tacle; it is the educational propa-
ganda of a more general use of the
Susquehanna basin and permanent
improvement of the water way for
boating, bathing and healthful
aquatic sports. Each year the
Kipona will become more and more
popular until it becomes the big
summer carnival of Central Penn

bold statement that the point made
by Senator Fall that it would not be
necessary to submit an amended
treaty to Germany - the country
not yet being a member of the pro-
posed League of Nations - had
never occurred to him. Yet the
newspaper mouthpieces of the Presi-
dent have been insisting that 1t
would be IAN intolerable humilia-
ton" for this country to be forced
to go to Weimar to beg Germany to
assent to the reservations and
amendment that are almost certain
to be after by the Senate.
So, after all, the dotting of every
81" and the crossing of every ''t"
in the treaty and its companion
paper are not necessary in the rati-
fication of the Paris instrument sub
mitted to the Senate for approval.
