Apparently, Hun editors who shower
shocking abuse on the allies for the hard
terms of the treaty are oblivious OF the
fearful indictment they draw against their
own nation for the far harder terms they
imposed where they had power, and pro
posed in hope OF having it. The classic re-
mark Of the little negro in response to a
shower Of objurgaton, applies exactly: "All
