A protest against the action of Gov

by Camden City Council.
Camden has spent thousands of dol =
lars in erecting imposing victory arches
under which its returning sons we're
expected to march triumphantly upon
their return from overseas. In addition,
the school children and citizens con
tributed nickels and dimes for neghbor-
hood monuments.
1t is charged that South Jersey. which

cluded, We're coming home.
The Seventy-eighth Division is due to
sail home on May 20 and the Twenty

the section, despite its elaborate plans
for welcoming the boys. would be ig-

Serious and Dignifed

The style of the building would be
of serious, dignifed character, and
large in scale The cornice and attic
lines OF the Grand Central Station
would be carried through the lines of
the building. which should be so
planned as 10 make it possible to

interfere with the surroundings It's
whole aspect would be that of a great
national monument.
Naturally. the cost of such a me
moral is an important consideration.
1t is believed that the cost of acquir-
ing the half block not owned by the
city cannot exceed 100000, and the
cost of the building S5,0o0,000. making
total of $7,000,coo. In providing the
funds and in proceeding with the de-
sign and construction of the memorial
lines similar to those followed in the
cases of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art and the Geological Garden should
be followed-that is, the city should
contribute the site of the old Grand
Union Hotel. and citizens committee
would undertake TO raise by public
subscription the $4,000 900 necessary to
purchase the remainder of the block
and to construct the Building. The
operation of the building when COM
pleted should be through a joint or
ganization of the citizens comm,ttss

Amsterdanl:
"The Child Enters''

the United States offered it's military
strength as a substitute, that is, if we
undertook to replace the Rhine barrier
by American armies which would de-
bark in France whenever Germany VIC
lated the terms of the treaty.
AS for the British, they were ready to
do everything in the world to assist Mr.
Wilson in applying his principles, the
American principles, to every other ma
ton in the world, but the President
learned with instant alacrity that a
discussion of the question of the free
dom of the seas was beyond the posi-
bilities Of the situation. In this, as in
the French instance, what was encoun-
tered was not a desire for territory, an
imperialism of the old Sort but the in
stinct for self-preservation. Britain
and France, each of them, after ter
rble experience which had fallen little
short of being fatal, insisted upon
guarantees against a return of the
danger which were not found in the
league of nations principles.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-08-24

Italy at the Isonzo and subsequently,
invaded and wasted Nenetia to the
Piave. And they were not willing, like
the French, to take an American alll-
ance instead Of a territorial barrier
Here, then, was an absolute break be-
tween the Allies; one of our associates
in the war repudiatcd the principle
which was the foundation of all Ameri-
can policy at the peace conference.
Moreover, when the President appealed
to the Italian people over the heads Of
their statesmen, the people rallied to
the statesmen, demonstrating that at
least one people valued certain things
more than peace.
Before we emerged from the first
stage of peace making, therefore. it
conception, the essential conception of
the President, that the peoples of the
world we're prepared to make any sacri-
fee for reorganization Of the world
on new lines, was breaking down. Not
only were the German people manifest
ly unwilling to do justice to enslaved
races, but our Allies, the three great
western powers, all of them liberal
democraces, were not prepared to sac
ritice what they conceived to be the
conditions, the minimum conditions Of
national security.
In the case of Britain we had got
around the difficulty by dropping the
discussion of the freedom of the seas
In the case of France we had offered an
alliance to take the place of terri
torial occupation, military alliance
which was in conflict with the funda-
mental principle of the league of ma
tons. In the case Of Italy we could
