along, somehow reasonably sure it was
on the right track because it was on the
track some prophet or other had said it
would be on.
The present epoch is not lacking in
variety and diversity of prophets. There
fore the future is assured. Mr.. Morgen-
thau, former United States envoy to T'ur-
key, tells us with resounding assurance
that we shall be at war again in fifteen
or twenty years, at the latest. His sound
and convincing prophecy is based on the
fact that the peace conference has failed
to satisfy the demands of the multitude of
European nations.
But on the same day that we receive
this oracle and clean our guns and load up
again another prophet, Mr.. G. W. Gilbert,
noted correspondent at Paris, assures us
the peace conference has fixed things up
so that long as England and America
remain friends peace shall abide on this
earth. His sound and convincing prophecy
is based on the fact that England and
America have effected everlasting control
of the seas They have also "dug a
trench" across Europe, with France armed
and courageous on guard, so that no Huns
or men ever come from that side to
this with warlke Intentions
Moreover, according to Mr.. Gilbert, the
nations, cutting off undue and embar-
RAISING activities of Germany eastward,
will find it to their everlasting best inter
est to stick tight to the Allies, who have
the trench and hold the seas.
The diversity of prophecies offers the
widest range of choice. At peace or st
war we bound to be on the right
track, and since the prophets have spoken
with uncertain voice, we should not
hesitate to prepare for war and expect to
be at peace.

A Club for Cripple S
To the Editor of The Tribune,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is gratifying to notice change
in the attitude of the public toward the Grip
pied. The man who happens to have an arm
or leg missing is no longer generally re-
garded as helpless, doomed to waste his life
as began or as an inmate of a charitable
institution OF course the crippled mendicant
still plies his trade and cannot be persuaded
to forsake the tin cup for the workbench as
long as the unthinking passerby continues
to toss coins at him. Fortunately, not all
cripples made to suffer because of the
few who degrade themselves by begging.
The crippled beggar will some day be ban
ished by cripples union, or some other or
ganization of the disabled. The tendency of
cripples to unite for "a square deal" is in
evidence. An example of successful organi-
cation of cripples is the Red Cross Institute
Club, recently, formed to show physically
handicapped men "the way out" and to teach
them how to make the most of their remain
ing abilities.
1t is an inspiring sight to see these Red
Cross boys at their baseball or basketball
practice the athletic field adjoining~,the
training school for cripples at Twenty third
Street and Fourth Avenue. The one-armed
fellows, the one-legged men, some getting
about artificial Limbs, others on crutches.
few hobblng about result of PARALYSIS.
some with few fingers missing-asl of them
forget their disabilities when they get into
the game.
The club has seventy members, all cripples,
but all making good at something. The Grip
pie who is discouraged, out of a Job, or the
one who wants to tell his troubles to those
who can offer him constructive assistance, is
invited to apply for membership to the Red
Cross Institute Club, 81 Fourth Avenue.
The club newspaper Thumbs Up" will be
mailed to any cripple upon request.

Mad Witte Isbachs

(From The London Doitv Erpress)
The news that Ludwig III, ex-Kng of
Bavaria, is showing symptoms of insanity
will occasion surprise to nobody who re-
members the unfortunate history of the
House of Wittelsbach. King Ludwig II,
who came to the throne in 1864 at the
age of eighteen, was a dreamer, with
passion for music and for building palaces.
He was the patron Of Wagner, and one of
his forms of eccentricity was to order
performances of Wagner's operas at which
his majesty was the entire audience. His
idiosyncrasies became so marked that in
June, 1856, Prince Lutpold was appointed
regent. A week later the King committed
suicide in Starnberg Lake, and his body
physician, DR.. Gludden, was drowned in
vain attempt to save the life of his royal
charge.
Ludwig's brother, Otto, then became
King of Bavaria He too, was demented
and within few weeks of his accession
had to resign his functions into the hands
Of Prince LutpoId, who became regent. He
in his turn was succeeded by his son,
Ludwig, who eventually became King, and
is the man on whom the curse of the
Wittelsbachs has now apparently fallen
, His son, Prince Rupprecht, commanded the
Bavarian army during the war. :.

MIR. Kitchin Misses the Point

Representative Kitchin says that Mr.
Mondell's claim of credit for the reduc-
ton Of $1,000, 100000 in the totals of the
appropriation measures which passed
the House last winter, but were held up
in the Senate, is "a bare-faced fraud
upon public information" Mr.. Kitchin
argues that the rapid process of demobi-
lization has permitted cutting down the
fund for the maintenance Of the army
and that the approach of peace has also
contributed to slashing of estimates
for the navy and the auxiliary war SER
vices
The country can take satisfaction
from the fact that it is getting back
toward peace basis more speedily than
It w9s expected to in January and Feb
ruary, when the appropriation measures.
Of tho last session were drafted. But

Yes. The government merely requires that

A League of Three

The news that the President has agreed
which Great Britain and the United
States shall be parties, to protect France
in the event Of another attack by Ger
many, has a practical Importance which
equals that Of the signing of the peace
treaty.
The purpose of the Triple Entente
was, at least so far as Great Britain
was concerned, to protect France. Brit
ish statesmen saw that France must not
be crushed--for if she were, German
force would soon be applied elsewhere
France was thus the ward Of the En-
tente. The understanding was primarily
for her benefit
What the President proposes, Russia
having dropped out, is that this country
shall fill the vacancy. If the ideas he
took to Europe were as supposed. he has
studied problems Of power to good ad-
vantage during the last six months and
has accepted doctrines he once strongly
opposed. What he now agrees to is what
Clemenceau had in, mind when he sug-
gested a new balance Of power that in
fact would create preponderant power
The President heatedly repealed this sug-
gestion in his Manchester address.
The Hague peace league was based on
the principle of defining international
rights-on solving justicable questions
rather than political ones. 1t created a
court, but there was no administrative
machinery The SHUTS plan which the
President adopted, sought to create
machinery first, and to get some sort of
machinery there was almost complete
elimination of both judicial and political
power from the machine
The proposed new league provides
that ambassadors, responsible to their
home governments shall periodically as
semble to discuss world problems, and, if
possible, reach unanimous decisions. If
there is DISPUTE, especially political dis
pute, unanimity is practically imposs-
BILE; if there is concurrence of view. a
question is easily solvable by ordinary
diplomatic methods.
But the covenant takes on new char
acter in fact, if not in form, when the
principal or dominant powers are under
contract concerning a particular policy.
To use an American illustration. there
is then caucus which decides what the
convention or legislature is to do A
league of three gives a backbone to the
covenant, and attitudes toward the cove
nant may well shift. In his January
speech Senator Knox plainly indicated
his judgment might change if the cove
nant were backed up by an alliance
Early in the discussion The Tribune
indicated that it's opinion was that there
would and could be no real league of
peace if there was not some sort of
alliance behind it. So far no reason has
appeared for abandoning this view. An
unstiffened covenant, if certain ambieu-
GUS clauses are properly interpreted,
may do little harm and bring the good
of periodic conferences But it would do
little good. But if an alliance is added
which will mean something, an alliance
that will give it sanction, then a new
situation will arise.

Trinke is Into Coin

(Fron The London Daily MaiD
The old saying that an article was worth
its weight in gold has acquired new sig
nifcance now that this precious metal is
more costly than ever
Gold is 115 shillings an ounce at pres
ent, compared with 81 shillings just be-
fo,e the war. 1t was such rare COM
modify when the restrictions on its i'm
portation and commercial use were re-
moved that frms are stated to have Of
fered premium of Is per cent on it's
market value in order to obtain supplies.
Many people are being tempted by high
prices to sell their gold trinkets, but this
only helps to relieve the shortage.
We are buying gold over the counter
all day long," said the managing director
of large jewelry firm to "Daly Elk
press" representative yesterday. "The
price of jewelry is much higher because
Of the increase in the cost Of raw ma
terials and labor.
"There was an outcry during the war
about jewellers buying sovereigns to make
them into jewelry, but that was entirely
exaggerated. The total value of gold used
by the jewellers did not then exceed
100000 "A year.
ut is notable, however, that people are
not buying jewelry nearly as plentifully
as they were year ago, when there
seemed to be more money in circulation. 4"

The Kiss

(Fron Tho Century,
\ RE you shaken, are You stirred,
"A By whisper of love?
Spellbound to a word,
Does time cease to move,
Till her calm, gray eye
Expands to sky,
And the clouds of her hair
Like storms go by!
Do the lips that you have kissed
Turn to frost and to FIRE?
Does fame shot mist
Enwrap your desire,
Till back to their birth
Fade water, air, earth,
And the First Power moves
Over void and dearth?
So the elements return
Into the chaos of night.
Yet the hot flames burn;
They dazzle your sight;
And desire rules the world
Till it fails, goes by,
And death down is hurled
With ringing cry.
Such is love; for love is death,
A. passion, a shout,
The deep inbreath,
The breath roaring out,
And once it is done,
You must lie alone,
Without life, without love,
Poor flesh, poor bone.

ISSUES NOT SERIOUS


Japanese, were posted in the Aklyaina

They heard cries for help from the jap
anese in the vicinity of the Kuang Ming
Cinema, and believing that the circum-
stances were urgent, turned into Rue

The report then cites further Incl
dents from the standpoint OF Japan's
version OF the affair OF what happened
after the Japanese troops had come into
action. Mr.. Kamei the Japanese Con-
sui General. and p. Stewart HeintEle-
man, the American Consul-General. were
soon drawn into the affair to protect
the japanese and American interes SITS,
respectively.
The official Japanese statement charges
that Mr.. Heintzleman did not make a
thorough investigation OF the affair.
The Japanese report, however, admits
that Mr.. Heintzleman comported himself
with characteristic American courage in
the face of difficulties. After the Japa-
nese police had said there were no Amer
leans held by the Japanese and the
Japanese Consul-Gencral had refused to
be moved. Mr.. Heintzleman returned to
the Japanese police station.
There is an American soldier bleed
ing outside. You lied to me-" Mr..
Heintsleman said. The demand OF Mr..

forthwith released then was promptly
granted.

came know to-day that Harvard profess
sors. who have been agitating for an
increase in pay for some time, recently
formed a union and became affiliated
with the Boston Central Labor Union.
with this knowledge comes the an
nouncement that substantial increases
have been granted and that when the
pay man" comes around next month
the envelopes will be much fatter than
heretofore.
Salaries as high as $500 will be
pa i'd TO some OF the professors, grading
down to s2,5oo, which Is stated to be
the minimum OF the new basis.
The first complaints of the educators
regarding their salaries were made about
a year ago. The matter OF increases
has been given serious consideration by
the overseers, but the raises appeared
not TO be forthcoming, so the union was
formed forthwith.
The overseers have admitted that
many OF the noted staff were not re-
ceiving what they were worth. but con-
tended that shortage OF ready funds
compelled them to delay making adjust
ments.
