Asked what his objections were to

When BOston's police deserted. the

AROUND THE CIRCLE.

President Wilson continues in the
happy state Of mind that has made him
feel all the time that he but TO say and
the people give thanks and obedience.
His persistence in taking his swing
around the circle is evidence of this
conviction. The probability is that he
does not read the unacceptable. That
is the habit Of royalty.
We can recall no swing around the
circle Of this country that has been pro-
ductive Of the results hoped for by its
swingers. There was Andy Johnson His

The same Is true in the matter Of addresses.

wan RISK BUREAU A MONUMENTAL FAILURE

n@ HE recent investigation Of the War Risk Insurance
Il Bureau disclosed the appalling fact that approx-
mately 70 per cent Of the 100000 Insurance policies
written the lives OF soldiers and sailors had been al
lowed to lapse.
1t was also brought out that about 30 per cent OF the
addresses upon which the bureau depends for mailing
checks are acknowledged to wrong and the parties
for whom the checks intended cannot be located
AS a means for securing efficient action in the
future the investigating committee recommended that
the bureau be decentazed and that executive branches
be established in each State.
But while that suggestion will doubtless prove very
effective in bringing benenciares into closer touch with
the bureau why has some action been taken long
before to prevent such tremendous failure in accom-
pshng the object for which that branch Of the gov
ernment created?
Take instance the lspsng three-fourths OF all
policies taken out.
the OF other explanation that condition can
be attributed only TO lack OF proper understanding on
the part Of the policy holders as TO what their rights
We're after they had been discharged from the military
service.
There was no trouble on the part Of the bureau when
it rst organized in interesting the men in what It
had to offer
The fact that 100000 OF our soldiers took advantage
OF The insurance feature, and voluntarily surrendered
large part Of their monthly compensation 10 nav the
premiums, demonstrates that the officials Of the bureau
lost opportunity to induce the men to accept the
benefits of the risk law
But those officials found themselves flooded with
applications they appear to have all further interest
in The policy holders and to devoted themselves TO
the management Of the 1900 clerks employed in their
organization
1t would have been easy and simple matter 10 en-

cerning the Importance Of keeping up premium payments

MANIFOLD TASKS.

Mt>if OlsD thShS.
From the Providence journal.
We went into the war TO help crush
Germany. That accomplished, what are
we expected to do now? According
10 the terms Of the treaty, independent
Of our obligations under the League OF
Nations, here are a few OF the tasks
we are invited to share: Trace the
boundary between Belgium and Ger
many, and the frontiers Of Poland and
CzechOslovakia; govern Upper Silesia,
East Prussia and the Kreise OF Stuhm
and Rosenberg; settle the Danzig ques-
tion; exercise sovereignty in Schleswig
straighten out the financial relations OF
Germany and Turkey and of the former
country and Austria; regulate the Ger
man army and navy, and control the
carrying on of Germany's munition and
chemical industries.
After dragging these items out OF the
treaty, Senator Moses summed up as
follows:
"The instrument Is infinitely worse
for us than even the League OF Nations.
bad as it is. For whatever may be said
OF the baleful consequences which will
flow to the United States from the oper-
alton of the covenant, they are, after all,
in the future; whereas the provisions
Of this treaty Immediately and without
recourse, thrust us automatically and
by authority into the endless snarls OF
attempting to set new boundaries for
contentious races in Europe. and i'm
pose upon us share in the task Of
holding Germany In leash, and even or
framing and applying the most essential
OF her internal statutes. Once drawn
into the mesfses Of international COM
plicatlons, it would be difficult for us
TO extrcate ourselves. And I would
have the country recognize fully, be-
fore we set our seal of approval upon
this instrument, that it means COM
plete departure from all the traditions
and principles which have governed us
from the foundation of the Republic !;
that it means our entrance into and our
active participation in all the number
less broils which exist in Europe and
which the next few years will multi
ply"
All The undertakings described are
confided 10 the principal allied and as
sOciated POwers"-the sO-called Big
Four. There is, in fact, only one prin-
cipal associated" Power, the United
States. The Senates' amendments con-
sist simply in striking out this desig-
mating word from the articles that set

enumerated tasks. or call for the use
