ing is more possible than that Ger
many will seek to escape from the
payment of reparations fixed by the
treaty of Versailles. Nothing is more
certain than that she will seek to
erect an alliance in Europe composed
OF Austria, Of Hungary, Of Bulgarian
and of Russia. To this alliance she
will endeavor to add any people which
finds itself dissatisfied with the de-
cisions taken at Paris. She will seek
to enlist the Italians, if they are dis
satisfied with the Fiume settlement.
If the Italians are satisfied she will
endeavor persuade the Jugo-Slavs
to join her group. We shall have a
period of at least 1 5 years in Europe
in which it will be very grave ques-
ton whether the old method and the
old system will be brought back by
Germany into effective existence, or
whether the new ideas on which! Mr..
Wilson has based his policy will pre-
vail. If the new ideas do not pre-
vail we shall have Europe divided
again as it was in 1914, within a re-
latively brief period of time.
The single chance Of a permanent
League Of Nations, possessing neces-
sary force, is that it shall have be-
hind it the great resources of the
three western powers, and beyond all
else the prestige and power of the
United States. Germany will not
easily find allies in Europe, nor will
the German people be easily led into
a new policy Of militarism if it is
recognized that this policy begins by
depriving those responsible for 1t Of
all American financial assistance and
ends by bringing the United States
squarely into action against it.
If Congress rejects that proposal
which Mr.. Wilson has made the
League Of Nations will disappear
from practical reckoning, alike Of
statesmen and people, on the CONT
nent of Europe. French armies of
occupation on the Rhine will not be
withdrawn, opening a road of inva-
sion to Belgium and to France. Ital-
ian concessions, If there be any, to
JugO-Slavia will not be realized, since
the Italians will rightly recognize
the possibility of German advance
to Trieste and the Adriatic, with
Jugo-Slav assistance. All the various
compromises based upon the idea
that justice in the settlement would
be sustained by the solidarity Of the
countries making up the League Of
Nations would disappear Europe
would not make a new settlement,
IN fact a settlement based upon the
old necessities and old considera-
tions; but this would mean, within
certain period, a new war: and a
new war would not fail to involve
the United States.

The Lure of
heHone
By VICTOR REDcLHFE


"A tidy sum-" spoke Mr.. Edward
Boyd briskly as he rendered a check
to Burton Ware, for a full decade Of
fee boy, then clerk, then travelling
salesman for the great jobbing house
of which the former was the proprie-
tor.
The young mans face portrayed
pleasure, pride and satisfaction. Fate
had been very kind to him and now he
was the pOssessor of twenty thousand
dollars in ready cash.
"You will be quoted as most meri-
torious example in this establishment"
went on his employer. "You have al
lowed your commissions and bonuses
to accumulate and the result is a sub
stantial one. We are most sorry to
lose you, but suppose you have made
up your mind to Il change"
1.-THE change means-home," spoke
Burton Ware, tinge of sadness in his
tone-"that is, what there is left of
1t. All my people are gone and when
mother died had to shift for myself.
The old house was sold to settle up

thOught-to accumulate a reasonable
amount to buy the old home and 90

native town."
The little town was changed, the
people seemed changed when Ware
reached 1t a week later. Few remem-
bered him. Something of the old sense
Of CHEEKY, familiar cOmradeship came
back to him as he found himself in the
office Of Willis Thorpe, who had been
boyhood chum, now graduated into a
leading lawyer.
1.-THE old place has changed owners
twice since you lived there" said
Thorpe. "The last time old Walter
Clyde purchased it. You remember the
Clydes, of course?'
II have never forgotten them" re-
piled Ware with quick token of in

back through ten lonely years to the
brightest day in his life. "You see, l

France, Britain and United
States to the Senate-The
Fear Of Germany's Flu
ture Course.
(By Frank H. Simonds.)
Fugitive dispatches which reach
Paris from the United States suggest
surprise and misunderstanding at
home over the agreement of the
President to lay before Congress with
his own endorsement proposal that
the United States should pledge it
self TO come to the aid of France in
company with Great Britain, provid-
ed France were wantonly attacked by
Germany.
American comment, so far as it is
accurately reported here, seems to
concentrate on the suggestion that
this process would be to create an
other alliance, whereas the League
of Nations was designed to eliminate
alliances, and consequently that it is
Unnecessary, since the League of Ma
tons provides way for permanently
eliminating the element of war.
In the present article l am going
to try to set forth the European sit
uation both with respect to the
League Of Nations and of this supple
mentary step, which really should be
regarded as an underwriting of the
League Of Nations, during the period
necessary for that organization not
merely to get to work but to become
established and recognized by all ma
|tiOns.
TO start at the beginning, the
League of Nations at the present mo-
ment is no more than an association
OF the nations which defeated Ger
many and Germany's allies which,
having formulated the terms of
peace. are now discussing these
terms of peace with the German rep
reSentatives before one of two things
happen: Either Germany accepts the
|lreaty of peace, or she rejects it, and
therefore makes a resumption of mil
|''ary operations necessary.

SALVATION ARMY FUND
TOTAL NOW $4,000
Drive Closed Eight Days Ago, But
Cash Is Still Com
ing In.

Although the Salvation Army home
service fund drive officially ended in
Washington eight days ago, money
continues literally to pour into the
treasury. Team Manager Percy Fos-
ter took to the bank today $11 900 in
checks and cash received within the
last forty-eight hours. This brings
the total to more than $4,000, with
several departments yet to make final
reports.
Among the checks deposited today
was one from the Treasury Depart
ment for $5,495. This brings the cash
contribution of that department to
$S,433, and Chief Clerk Paul Myers
said they were still going strong.
In addition to the cash contribution of
the employees of the Treasury there
are pledges of approximately $500.
which are authoritatively declared to
be 100 per cent coliectable.
The Department Of Agriculture.
through Chief Clerk Reese. sent a
check for $2,100. Mr.. Reese said the
department wasn't through and would
have something more to report later.
Chief Clerk Libbey of the Department
of Commerce RENTED cash for $3.50
and notified Mr.. Foster that he had
large number of pledges which would
be collected by the committee within
the department.

subscriptions and tag day money con-
tinues to come In. Mrs. Louis Brown
low gathered up $40 from this source.
From the few remaining employees of
the National War Trade Board an
