The president has been working faith :

has been working so that something more

out of the great sacrifices of fighting
men-out Of the rivers of blood that has
been shed and the millions of men VINO
have fallen.
Criticisms have been heaped upon his
head by hostile newspapers and maga-
zines, written solely with an eye to po-
htical or party advantage, in this day OF
small politics. We have grown accus-
toned to this, for, while the United
States has the best and bravest fighting

most absorbent politics. When senator's,

The New Thir,ness

There are very few really amusing arti-
cles on diet. In fact, the subject is so
dreary that at the mere mention of a pro-
ted or a carbohydrate the ordinary man
shudders. The thing seems to lack common
sense; man does not eat carbohydrates and
proteins; he does not want TO-

who dares in the pages of "The Practitioner"
to declare boldly: You cannot chew the
end of cooked foods any more than YOU can
rumlnate raw tiesh.' This is addressed TO
obese persons; it comes with astonishing
humor and good nature from the pen of
DR.. Leonard Williams. His doctrine is that
every tat person ls the victim of some
poison present in the body 1t is known.
Tor example, that arsenic will cause obesity.
SO will a hundred other poisons. and so
Will the toxins of disease. Fatness is thus
an indication of failure to deal with the

the poisoning which causes it or the in.
crease Of bodily resistance to that poison
This Is ii reasonable and interesting
standpoint. The writer declares:
TOXINS gain the upper hand, and the
subject becomes the object of caustic con-
gratuations from his tailor and his traitor
Gus friends on his increasingly benevolent
appearances"
The cure suggested. however, is another
matter. 1t is the free use of uncooked
food, which for some Of us, at any rate
is nearly as bad the carbohydrates and
the proteids. Uncooked foods--fruits, dairy
produce. salads and nuts-contain what are
known vitamnes. principles essential to
life. These are said to be less plentiful
in cooked foods In the presence Of the
vitamincs. according to DR.. Williams. the
toxins described by him "prnces of the
blood" languish.

A MisGt Measure

Little support has developed for the
Baker March army reorganization bill
General Wood has condemned it. SO
has General McAndrew, chief of staff of
the American cXpeditonary forces.
Major Tomkins Mcllvaine, chairman of
the executive committee of the Military
Training Camps Association, wrote in
reply to request from Secretary Baker
for his views "ln my opinion, the
bill in it's main features is thoroughly
unworkable and would perpetuate our
worst mistakes. AS a whole,
the bill is really as bad as can be- 1t
seems like patchwork-not the logical de
velopment Of any practicable SYSTEM"
All these authorities laid stress on the
fact that regular army of from 500
OO0 to $4,000 men is much too large.
For peace purposes General Wood said
that 250,000 men were enough; Cen
eral McAndrew put the maximum at
100000. And in time of war we should
have to depend, in the main, not on
the regulars, but on the drafted army.
1t is doubtful whether 100000 men
could be enlisted as regulars. If thcy
were enlisted, they would be a hindrance
rather than help in performing the
man task of the army, which is to edu-
cate and organize the youth who come
up each year for training. The Baker
March bill allows only three months for
this work. But those who have had most

ment hold that at least six months ought
to be spent in instructing the annual
drafts in the duties Of a soldier. Says

military standpoint, but are equally

tonal side" e.

The League in Massachusetts,

Massachusetts is the first state in
which Republican and Democratic state
conventions have expressed themselves
ditional ratification of the peace treaty
with Germany. This issue has not been
treated in Washington as a party one,
although practically all the Republican
Senators now favor conditional ratihca-
tion and q majority of the Democratic
Senators still oppose either reservations
or amendments. The action of the two
conventions in Massachusetts shows that
in that state the issue is distinctly not
partisan, since President Wilson's policy
Of ratification without notifications is
acceptable neither to the Republicans nor
the Democrats.
The Republican convention declared
for ratification without amendments, but
with "unequivocal and effective" reserva-
tons which will protect American inter
ests and eliminate the main antiquities
in the covenant. 1t also condemned the
Fiume settlement, the Thracian settle
ment and the Shantung settlement. 1t
made no reference to the question of do
minion, colony and dependency represent
tation in the league.
The convention did not go as far as
Senator Lodge has gone. He has offered
and voted for amendments. But since
the subject matter of these amendments
can be dealt with in reservations, and
oLoA1 l>, l.
amendments have been defeated, his
course will probably harmonize eventu-
ally with the conventions declarations.
Mr.. Lodge told the delegates that he
would continue to support the johnson
and Moses amendments, dealing with in
equality of representation in the league,
and the Shantung amendment. But
he intimated that not more than one for
nal amendment is likely to be approved.
The Democratic convention was more
radical. 1t favored ratification only in
case the covenant is $50 amended as to
give no other nation more votes than the
United States, to protect the sovereignty
of the American people, to protect the
right Of selfdetermination and to re-
fra;n from adding to the burden of peo-
pies wanting to be free and indepcn-
t:ent." That is broad proviso. 1t
amounts to a complete Reputation Of the
''sign here" theory.
It has become absolutely clear, as Sen
ator Lodge told the Republican delegates,
that "without reservations the treaty is
dead" The only business of statesman
snip in the Senate is to formulate such
reservations as will Amcricanize the
covenant and nullify such of it's pro-
visions and implications as still give
countenance to the notion that the league
is a super-state. Once Mr.. Hitchcock
and Mr.. Swanson abandon their hopeless
fight for unconditional acceptance, the
obstacles in the way Of rapid action on
the treaty will disappear.

Germany and the Bolsheviki

An interesting programme of German
foreign policy, as conceived by the inf1u-
entail group Of Majority Social Demo-
Gratis led by Representatives Cohen
and Kaliski and supported from the
bourgeois camp by Georg Bernhard and
the Vossische Zeitung, is set forth in the
.Sostolistische M0natshefte, the monthly
organ of the coterie by Dr. Ludwig Ques-
SCI, one of the leading publcsts of Ger
man socialism. DR.. Quessel advocates
vigorously a German Russian alliance
against the "capitalist powers" Of the
West and against "Polsh Imperialism,
melted by the Anglo-SaXons." He makes
the point that the restoration of a united
Russia, comprising not only Great Rus
sia but the Ukraine as well, is fore
most concern of German foreign policy
This statement bears out the plea of
those Ukrainian nationaists who apply
fo" Allied sympathy and assistance on
the ground that failure to achieve in
dependence will render the Ukraine, one
o. the richest countries of Europe, d
helpless prey Of German imperialistic in
triCuc.
The scheme Of German Russian alli-
ance against the West is an old pet of
the so-called Eastern school of German
craftsmanship, and by swallowing the
bait held out to them by the Quasi-radical
phraseology Of Herr Georg Bernhard the
Majority Social Democrats merely offer
cf IN
play the old imperialist game. But DR..
Qucssel's article derives additional inter-
est from the light it throws on the rela-
ton Of the old German regime and Rus
sian Bolshevism. 1t deals another blow
to the case of those disscnters who still
refuse to consider as closed the question
whether the Lenine-T Trotzky clique has
actually co0perated with the imperial
German government.
Hans Worst, the excellent and impair
tial correspondent of the Berliner Tage-
6Iatt in Russia, has already admitted in
connection with the publication in
Switzerland Of German edition of Mr.
Sissons documents, the existence of a
German Bolshevist conspiracy. Now
comes Dr.. Quessel declaring that this
conspiracy els proved by its terrific con-
sequences and it makes no difference
whether or not we regard certain docu-
ments as forgcrics."
Eolshevism, according to Dr.. Quessel,
is "nothing but the tyranny, assisted into
power by the German policy Of brute
force, of a small group Of persons whose
regime is founded on military coercion
an! nothing else 1t has, with its ma
chinery Of power built upon German sub
sides, destroyed the established
sovereignty Of the Russian proletariat
in order to supplant it with so-called
Soviet rule" What sovietism achieved,
DR.. Qucssel continues, is not socialism,
but "a new bourgcoisie of thieves, rob
| bers and smugglers." He concludes that
the German as well as the European pol
icy must be based on the overthrow of
the Soviet regime, and urges an alliance
of German Social Democracy with the
Russian Social Revolutionaries and Men
