GERMANS PLANNING REVENGE UPON
ALLIES,

Alfred G. Anderson cabled from
Berlin on June 25th, that disorders
have again broken out in Berlin fol-
lowing acceptance of the peace trca-
ty. Mobs are looting shops and 9TH
or buildings in many parts of the
city. The telephone and postal
workers have quit work. Delayed
reports indicate that the strike dis
turbanccs arc countrywide.
Orchestras in the Berlin cafes last
night struck up the old war songs
of the Deutschland uber Allies"
type. The crowd. sang the songs
with wild enthusiasm. Everywhere
people are discussing plans for Ger
nlany's revenge when the proper
time comes. The conservatives are
stirring up trouble by issuing mani
festos condemning the signing of
treaty that gives away German
territory, reduces the size of her
army and surrenderS her fleet and
colonies. They openly proclaim that
a day of reckoning is coming.
1t appears to be the aim of the
Conservatives to create sentiment
in favor of raising new army for
an attack on the Allies as soon as
the Entente armies are demobolized.
The FortUacItS, in a leading edi-
torial, declares that the peace Just
agreed to is valid only so long as
the power which dictates it exists.
This peace" said the VorlUaerfs,
"is due 10 compulsion and is, there
fore, valueless. The German people
will never forget the injuries suf-
fered in this peace. 1t is valid only
so long as the. power which dictates
il exists"

OLD GUARD IN The SADDLE,

BY securely intrenching itself in
both the House and Senate, the Re-
publican Old Guard has shown that
1t is in absolute and undisputcd con-
troll of the national party organiza-
ton and is quietly but effectively
laying its plans to name the next
Republican candidate for the Prcsi-
dency and to dictate the party poll
cies of the future.
The leaders of this element of the
u y. p. are giving scant considera-
ton to Clifford Pinchot and other
alleged Progressives in the plans
which they are making TO dominate
party councils, and the chances are
that they will pay less attention to
them in the future than in the past.
The Progressive Bull Moose party,
led by the one and only T. r., sue
ceeded in defeating the regular Re-
publican candidate, who refused to
give the road to Theodore, then fell
into Rip Van Wrinkle sleep from
which we fear it will never fully
awake. In the mean time the Old
Guard, led by Lodge, Penrose and
other mossback standpatters, feel
ing secure in the saddle, goes brave
ly marching on.

KHOY'S RESOLUTION DOOMED,

The situation in the Senate now
indicates that not only is the Knox
resolution for the separation of the
League of Nations covenant from
the peace treaty hopeleSsly beaten
but promises to precipitate a party
disaster.
Its proponents at the outset were
not confident of its adoption, but
predicted good stiff vote for ii.
This is melting away with such ra-
pIdity as 10 Indicate but little mar
gin between a theoretical triumph
and matter-of-fact defeat.
Republicans are swearing at the
stupidity of Senator's Knox, Lodge
and the leaders who countcnanced
the presentation of the resolution.
These lieutenantS admit that moth
ing but strife and diScord have fol-
, lowed. AT least ten Republicans
seek to have it either radically
amended or rejected. This number
is increasing daily.
Expected Democratic assistance
has dwindlcd down to three, with
but one of those likely TO stand
hltched. Mr.. Chamberlain under no
circumstances will vote for the
. knox resolution. Senator Gore is I'M
certain and will be unable TO reach
Che Senate for many days. Mr.. Reed
is the only minority man on whom
dependence can be placed.
WITHOUT a leader, the Republicans
last week were blaming each other
for the troubles that have come up
ON them. Senator's Lodge, Pcnrose
and other leaders We're absent last
week but are present this week. Mr..
Knox and his assistants who have
muddled the situation now are
heartily condemned. No pathway
out of the tangle can be found and
there is Precipitation on the Repub-
lican side.
We cannot say whether this pre-
SCENTS the exact situation in the Sen
ate but if we are to credit newspa-
per correspondents, writing from
Washington, we must believe that all
is not we'll with the partisans seek
ing to embarrass and hamper the
President in the great work he is
doing in Paris.

In the Senate few days ago Sen
ator John Sharp Williams, Demo
crat, challenged the Republicans to
deny that the Committee on Foreign
Affairs had been stacked against the
League of Nations.
Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
a new Republican member of the
committee, said his selection to
membership had been stacked
against the President only in the
sense that he is democrat and l
am republican,"
no." shouted Senator Williams,
"you have stacked it against the
hope of world peace as we'll as
against Democratic President. You
have left on it only one Republican
favoring the League, Mr.. McCumber
of North Dakota, and the reason you
left him was because you didn't
dare take him off,

AIDING THE HUNS.

While the question of whether the
German ENJOYS will or will not sign
the treaty is hanging in the balance,
Senator Knox, after consultation
with Senator Lodge, introduces a
resolution demanding that the cove
nant Of the League of Nations be
separated from the treaty of peace.
Ever since the conference began
German diplomacy has endeavored
to divide the Associated Govern
mentS. Senator Knox and Senator
Lodge are now trying to do for the
Germans what they have been I'M
able to do for ,themscIvS. They
have different motive, TO be sure,
for they are seeking only to dis
credit President Wilson, but their
main objective is the same.
AS against this exploit Of parti-
san Senator's the Peace Conference
will be far more impressed by the
action Of the American Federation
of Labor, in its convention at At
lantic City, in giving its indorse-
ment TO the treaty of peace and the
covenant Of the League as "the tri-
unph of freedom and justice and
democracy" and declaring that
the covenant of the League of Ma
tons, written into the treaty Of
peace, must meet with the unquali-
fled approval and support of the
American working people"

A CHANGE FOR YOUNG MEN,

The Government will probably es-
tablish regular army of about AGO.
COO men and is now engaged in an
active campaign to secure able-bod-
led men between the ages of IS and
10 to fill the ranks Of the army, and
perhaps never before in the history
Of the country was. a call to duty
so suggestive of opportunity.
This is cali for service in the
new army, in which the actual bus
mess of "soldering' in only part
of the days work-in which as
much attention is devoted to the de-
velopment of the best type of man
hood within the ranks as to max
ing the soldiers efficient in strictly
military sense.
AS the army IS now organized
particular pans is taken ID keep the
personnel clean and hcalthful, men
tally and morally as we'll as ply
Sically; to educate the young men
while under government pay, and
to fit them for earning livelihood in
trade or profession upon retire
ment from the military service.
Service in the army under the
new cOn0lllOnS PROVIDES 1Of the SOL
der $50 month with no living ex-
penscs 10 himself, since his food,
clothing, living quarters, medical
and dental attention are furnished
free to him by the government; it
assures him life in the open air;
free cducation; free training in a
skilled trade; an opportunity to
travel and "sec the world,I and for
advancement in rank-which OPP
portunity is always open to an Am
erican soldier, regardless of the
wealth or social status of his fam
lily.
1t makes for character, because,
as an experienced authority has
well said, there is nothing like
army life TO stiffen a mans back
bone, give him courage, will-power,
and respect for himself, his fellow
men and his country"
SO, young men, here is your
chance not only TO earn fair wage
when at no expense, but to get a
good education, 10 learn useful
trade or calling while getting it.
Think it over. It's we'll worth SER

STRANGE ISN'T IT,

High above all the seething fer
ment of the world today appears
this singular fact-that the two bod
les engaged in stony resistance of
the Peace treaty are the German
government and the Republican
leaders of the u. S. Senate. Both
are complaining bitterly of the
Treaty. The cruX of the Senator's
attack is the League of Nations in
terwoven as fundamental part of
the Treaty by the Paris Peace Con-
ference. To tear the League Cove
nant out Of the Treaty without de-
streying the Treaty is impossible
to radically amend ii is tantamount
to the rejection of the Treaty. No
body knows this better than the
Senators. And yet with violence
of language that no hatred of Presi-
dent Wilson, no party. feeling can
justify, they continue their assaults
upon the League covenant, even
though amended to meet the objec-
lions they at first raised. Is it any
wonder that the task of the Peace
Conference has been rendered in
creasingly difficult? Seeing and
hearing this fire from the rear, is
ii strange that the German stubborn
ness has been augmented?
We wonder if our people realize
the true situation. The League OF
Nations covenant, wrought by the
strongest statesmen Of the age, I'M
der the compulsion OF tremendous
necessity, to hold together war
