PEACE IN. SIGHT

The peace for which the world has
been anxiously waiting during the
seven months since the armistice is
now in sight. The reply to the Ger
man counter-prOposals has beer
placed in the hands Of Count Won
Brockorff- -Rantzau, who already has
presented it to the German cabinet, at
Waimaf. As soon as the Cabinet con-
siders it the reply will be sent to the
various financial, shipping and ecOno-
mic experts who will offer their Opin-
ions as to whether Germany can meet
the terms. These opinions will have
to be formulated quickly as the Ger
mans must give their answer within
seven days, or by Monday, June 2Srd.
Of the changes incorporated in the
reply the most important is probably
the one consenting. to admit Germany
to the League of Nations in the near
future, provided she fulflls her Obl-
:gations. Another important change is
the promised plebiscite for upper 81
lesia, with a guarantee Of coal from
that region. Frontier notifications in
West Prussia, a permitted increase of
the. German army from 100000 to
100000 men, the offer to cooperate
with the German Commission on Re
paratiOns in considering suggestions
for discharging Germany's obligations

Y Word comes from Paris that Presi-
dent Wilson, who expects to reach this
country about July LIST, is planning to
90 on a speaking tour in favor Of the
League Of Nations that win carry him
y the Pacific Coast. He win deliver
speeches in Republican centers where
opposition to the League has been
strong. For this reason he expects TO
make a special tour Of California,
Senator Johnson's state. The Presi-
dent Is also anxious to speak in WASH
ingtOn, Senator Poindexter's state and
In Idaho, the home Of Senator Borah.
The announcement Of the Presidents
intention has caused the Republican
Senators TO make plans for the early
confederation of the Knox resolution
which proposes the separation Of the
COvepant Of the League Of Nations
from the Treaty Of Peace. A strong
effort is TO be made by Republican
senators to get the Knox resolution
voted on within ten days. II that plan
fails there is talk Of circulating a
round robin to get signatures to un-
derwrite the proposal 10 separate the
League Covenant from the Peace
Treaty.
There will also be an attempt by the
Republicans to send their leaders, in
cluding Senators Lodge, Knox, Borah,
johnson and Poindexter on speaking
tours Of the country to attack the
Covenant Of the League of Nations.
It is evident from the Republican
plans that the leaders of the party |
have q healthy respect for President
Wilson's powers of persuasion. What
ever the merits of the controversy
there can be No denying that President
Wilson Is one Of the most eloquent
special pleaders we have in the coun-
try. During the war his powers in
this direction were widely demon
strated; he has magic gift Of phrase
which made some Of his utterances
household words all over the world.
Making the world safe for 'democ-
racy" became an international slogan
and It is only one Of many such happy
coininys. The late President Roose-
velt had an extraordinary gift in this
direction also though Of an entirely |
different kind. At any rate the open
of the League which we all
want, which every one has been clam
oring for, is likely to be granted US.
President Wilson has been criticised
for his silences; his proposed speak
ing tour will give him q chance to
show his real thoughts on what is per-
haps the most critical question before
the American people. His two
speeches on the subject on his last
visit to this country were eloquent but
not detailed. Now he will have to run |
3 gauntlet of criticism which is sure to
separate the wheat from the Shaff in
The League plan.

,le o.hsl nsdIl, ,llIAnl d ~ oIIlln'
terms.
With The revised treaty that wa
handed to the Germans there was also
q covering letter by the French
Premier, Clemeneeau, which Ia . dig
niied indictment Of Germany and
reply to her claims that the peace out
lined In the original treaty IL not Q
peace based on justice. One Of the
first paragraphs in the letter reads as
follows:
"In the view Of the allied and asso-
ciated powers the war which began on
1.-THE 1st Of August, 1914, was the
greatest crime against humanity and
the freedom Of the people that any
nation calling itself civilized has ever
consciously committed. For many
years the rulers of Germany, true to
the Prussian tradition, strOve for q
position of dominance In Europe. They
were not satisfied with the growing
prosperity and influence TO which Ger
many was entitled, and which all 9TH
er nations were willing to accord her,
or the society Of free and equal posi-
ton"
After this the letter goes on to tell
Of the German responsibility for the
declaration Of war, her inhumane con-
duct of that war, the terrible crimes
committed by her soldiers under the
Official sanction Of her officers:
"The conduct Of Germany Ii almost
unexplained in human history. The
terrible responsibility which lies at
her doors can be seen in the fact that
not less than 1000, 900 dead lie buried
in Europe while more than 2O,OOO,OOO
others carry upon them the evidence
Of wounds and suffering because Ger
many saw fit to crafty her lust for
tyranny by resort to war;"
One Of the features Of the Premier's
letter is his quotation from we'll
known speeches made by the four
leading spokesmen Of the Big -Four,
President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George, Premier Orlando and M.
himself. In their protest
against the Peace Treaty the Germans
insisted that the allied spokesmen had
declared that their quarrel
was not with the German people but !
with the German government and
asked for leniency on that score since
he German government that caused
he war was out Of power. The
Premier's quotations contained in his
etters are evidently q reply o-this;
ne quotes for instance from President
Wilson's speech of April 6, 1913, in
which the President said: "There Y,
therefore, but one response possible
rom us: force, force to the utmost,
'orce without stint or limit, the right
,ous and triumphant force which shall
make the law of the world and cast
very selfish dominion down in the
lust"
The Premiers letter is q splendid
lefense Of the Peace Treaty; If given
vide publicity in Germany It cannot

led terms.

MOVING PICTURES

What many persons cannot I'M
derstand is the tendency of so many
men in the moving picture industry
to. make the films a sort Of cham
Der Of horrors. Possibly the pur-
pose is to. shock the spectator, but
the result only too often is to in
spire disgust. and dissatisfaction. 1t
is mistake to assume that most of
the PEOPLE revel in brutality and
that they take Joy in witnessing
scenes which are neither pleasing
nor. educational. Nest men and wo-
men are decent and aw-abiGing and
have no relish for pictures which
are often revolving and sometimes
on the border line of irdcccncy.
The Philadelphia Inquirer in ccm-
menting upon this subject says "the
motion picture business has become
one CT the greatest industries in
the world Fortunes are sometimes
made from a single picture, and the
screen furnishes amusement to mil
lions of people in all parts of the
globe. The possibilities of the NOV
les have only been Scratched, and
their advance in the course of the
last few years has been wonderful.
Yet it must be confessed that the
results are Disappointing to many of
the well-wishers CT the business.
We have too many disagrecable
plays and too few that are sweet
and wholesome.
.'It will not do to blame the pub
lie for The choice of the pictures.
Most of the patrons take what they
can get :hougit it is to the credit Of
the people that they decline to pat
ronize shows that are fagrantly
unwholesome. lndecency on the
screen does, not pay very long any
more than it does on the spoken
stage, and that IS one of the good
signs of the times. In the mean
while we are inclined to believe that

EFFECTS OF THE DRY WAVE

During the past few months the
names of FIVE or six persons who
had been arrested for drunkenness
appeared on the blotter of the Police
Court every Monday morning. Most
of the offenders forfeited their col
lateral by failing to appear. This
morning hut one name appeared. He
also failed to respond when his name
was called and forfeited his deposit.
The Washington, Philadelphia and
Baltimore papers also report ma
teral falling off in "drunks" yester-
day
The Gazette few days ago pub
lished the suggestion of contempt
rary that the prohibition law be
cbeyedfn letter and in spirit. Present
conditions show, that the advice has
not fallen upon dead ears. The liq-
TOR recently stored away for use
during the arid period Will soon dis
appear while the almost prohibitive
prices which are now demanded for
intoxicants will tend to curtail their
use to minimum.

WILL NOT INSURE PEACE

The Peace Treaty has been signed
by Germany, but that does not mean
that Germany has the slightest in
tention of fulfilling its agreements.
The German papers openly proclaim
that they will get ready for a war
of revenge. They say that Germany
has signed, but Germany will not
fulfill. No one who knows the Ger
man nature need be at all surprised,
In the most crucial hour OF human
history a mistake was made when
an armistice was permitted. We
should have marched on to Berlin
and accepting nothing but the IN
conditional surrender of Germany.
Then we might have stayed the
tides Of Bolshevism. Civilization
might have taught Germany some>
thing of the meaning of civilization
and humanity, and gradually taught
that country to recognize with some
horror the fearful crimes OF Wn!cn
It had been guilty.
Returning soldiers are loud N

permitted to go on to Berlin. a few
days ago captain in the United
States Regular Army in a public
address in Baltimore said: "Oh, II
there had been 70 armistice, and we
had been given 80 days more, we
would have been in Berlin and all

POWER OF THE DAY GOD

The heat yesterday, like that OF

The temperature during the morn
ing hours was dangerous, and many
people kept within doors to escape
the piercing rays of the sun. By
noon the mercury was we'll up in the
nineties, and in the afternoon reach
ed the ninety-aigat mark. In near
by cities it stood at the century
figures.
Later the welcome sound of thun-
der was heard, and, it was not long
ere a light shower of rain was fall
ing. The downpour was shortlived,
however, but subsequently the wind
; blew fresh and strong from the
west and veritable tempest follow
ed. Considerable thunder and light
ming accompanied the rain. The
mercury recedeG rapidly, and much
cooler conditions made their advent.
and are still in evidence.
While man and beaSt sweltered

of death or prostration have been

Zemo generally removes ,pimples,
