ings. Many matters require attention,
some affecting the immediate welfare
Of individuals, some of patriotic ma
ture, and it has been found that
through organization can these inter
ests be best preserved and promoted.
There is some danger at this time of
mistakes in the matter of organization.
Enthusiasm may outstrip judgment
Impostors may take advantage of the
situation to promote their own selfish
purposes. But judging from the char
acter of the organization formed here,
bearing the appropriate and attractive
title of the commander-in-c chief of the
American expeditionary force, the
World War Veterans will be properly
representative of the great army of
men who went forth from peaceful
pursuits in the United States to fight

Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Lodge.

Senator Hitchcock is an advocate of
league of nations. 1t is not under
stood, however, that he advocates the
acceptance Of the plan the President
brought from Paris. Probably nobody
does. That was a trial balloon, and
served its purpose. Many changes have
been suggested, some in Europe, some
in America. Some are reasonably Ger
tain Of adoption. The President him
self, it is said, sees the necessity of
changes.
The changes Mr.. Hitchcock thinks
necessary have not been stated. Very
likely, we are soon to know. He is to
appear in joint debate on the league,
and an opportunity will occur.
The Nebraska senator was chairman
Of the committee on foreign relations
in the last Senate. This insures that
he will head the minority membership
Of that committee in the present Sen
ate. He will thus be prominent in the
debate when the Senate takes up the
peace treaty.
Mr.. Hitchcock has arranged to "take
on" Senator Lenroot and George W.
Pepper Of Philadelphia in discussion Of
the league, and has invited Senator
Knox to measure words on the sub
ject. Why not Senator Lodge alsof
Mr.. Lodges position, it is true, is
well defined. It was made so in the
senator's debate with Dr.. Lowell Of
Harvard. But there would be inter.
est in meeting between the Massa-
chusetts senator and the Nebraska
senator because Of their committee as
signments. When Mr.. Hitchcock was
chairman Of the foreign relations COM
mittee Mr.. Lodge headed the minority
membership. With the change Of con-
troll in the Senate their positions have
been reversed. Mr.. Lodge will now sit
at the head Of the table, and Mr..
Hitchcock at the head Of the minority.
The two men have thus come to know
each other we'll, and in joint debate
would probably display. their best
powers. They may not be very far
apart on the subject Of a league of na-
tions. Both favor league, but neither
favors the plan drafted and put for
ward in the name Of Gen. Smuts. Mr..
Lodge wants that plan materially al
tered. Mr.. Hitchcock will accept altera-
tions, but the nature and the extent Of
them have yet to be announced.
As these two men will be in the front
Of the contest when the Senate meets,
they might give the country a FORE
taste Of their quality on the stump.

Germany and Bolshevism.

A Zurich dispatch to Paris says that
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, the
German foreign minister, has sent Karl
Kautsky of the foreign ministry to
Moscow to see the chiefs of the soviet
government and make report that
will allow the foreign minister "to
study methods as to the bringing about
of closer political and economic rela-
tions with the Russian bolshevik gov
ernment."
If this is true the bolshevik menace
has become serious indeed That the
soviet government of Russia was en-
deavoring through irregular and un-
Official emissaries to foment radicalism
and to effect civil war in Germany has
been plain for weeks. Those efforts
failed to overturn the Ebert govern
ment. Now it would appear that the
Ebert government is seeking an ALI
ance with the bolsheviki, even as an
alliance has been effected between
Hungary and the Russian reds.
1t is possible that Germany is con-
tempiating a defiance of the allied
powers when the peace terms are pre-
sented and that this errand of Kaut-
sky's to Moscow is but the first move
in a game to present new alignment
Of forces.
The peace conference at Paris should
promptly take cognizanee of the dis
patching of Kautsky to Moscow, if the
news that comes through Zurich is
confirmed. It would be folly to pro-
ceed with the framing of terms of
peace intended to prevent Germany
from renewing the war and permit her
meanwhile to strike hands with a
known enemy against whom the allies
are now, in effect, at war. In Hun
gary a bolshevik- Magyar government
has been set up, and it is stated has
defied the entente in what is tanta-
mount to a declaration of war.
That these are not mere sporadic
movements, but are part Of plan to
spread bolshevism throughout central
Europe is only too plain. The allies
must come to grips with this force
sooner or later, and much will be saved
if the issue is forced by a demand
upon Berlin to cease all overtures and
relations with an organization that
stands for anarchy and that has al.
ready uttered defiance.

Is the War Ended?

A federal judge in Kentucky has
decided that the European war was
brought to close when the armistice
was signed November II, basing his
decision upon "an official speech" by
President Wilson making that decla-
ration. This decision will not govern,
N all likelihood, in the determination
Of when the war period absolutely came
to an end. Technically the war is not
over yet. 1t has been merely sus-
pended, Terms of peace have not been
framed, much less signed and accept
ed. Armed forces are standing on
guard upon German soil. Armistice
conditions have been adopted by the
two sides and amended from time to
time. Intercourse has not been re-
sumed between Germany and the al
lied countries. Until the peace terms
have been formally signed the war
may be renewed at any time. Judge
Evans decision is certain to be chal-
lenged. The Attorney General has
given an opinion that inasmuch as
Congress declared war only Congress
can terminate it SO far as the United
States is concerned by ratifying a
treaty of peace. Many statutes have
been enacted during the past two years
contingent in their periods upon the
duration of the war. Until the ruling
was made in Kentucky it has been as
will remain SO until ratification of the
treaty Of peace. An appeal from this
decision will probably be taken at once
to prevent confusion arising from it.

School Safety Signs.

Any motorist who will drive through
and ignore sign denoting the closing
of a street during school recess, placed
for the protection of the children who
are required to take to the paved
surfaces for their recreation, should
be punished severely. Some of these
signs, it is stated, have been thus
treated by motorists and children have
been consequently in danger. It
should not be difficult to obtain the
license number Of cars thus driven
through or past the warning signs. It
is that sort of driving that brings
motorists into disrepute and causes
prejudice against them, and it is graft
flying to note that the protest against
it comes from the head of the Profess
sional Chauffeurs' Association, who has
done much excellent work in the pro-
motion of safety in the streets Of
Washington.
