ing but a "scrap of paper"


Oh, but that was the wicked i'm
perialistic and military party, that
did and said that. We must not hole
the German people responsible for SO
atrocious a sentiment. They have
repudiated and expelled the Hohen-
zollerns, and are now law-abidine
and faith-keeping nation, with whom
we may make treaty in perfect fell
lowship in our holy league OF Ma
lions.
Art there, Old Truepenny?
Well, now, at the end of the war
a great voice in Germany declares
that signature of the treaty OF peace
is worthless, because sit is only !;
scrap of paper" The voice of some
of those wicked imperialists and mill
tarists, or of a Hohenzollern? Oh
no; it is the voice of Vorwaerts, the
organ of the German people, the or
gan of the Social Democracy, the Or
gan of the party which today con
trolls the national government of t.
German Republic.
He must be blind to the signs of the
times who does not perceive that tn,
Germany of 1919 is in spirit the Ger
many of 1914, unchanged. Nowhere
in all the flood of High Dutch an
Low Dutch which has been so pro
fusely poured forth in expostulation
in plea, in protest and in menace
have we found~one single word O.
repentance, of realization of wrong
done, of resolution to reform the ma
tons ways. There is nothing bu
sullen resentment and determinatlo
to persist in the old course.
The German Government of Ebert
and Bauer and Erzberger would II /
had the chance and the power be just
as ready to violate treaties, to burr
cities, to ravish women, to murde
women and children, and to comm
every conceivable crime and abomin
alton, as was the German Cover
ment of William Hohenzollern anc
thmann-Hollweg. 1t is the same
old Hun with which civilization ha'
to deal. We beat him in war. !
remains to be seen if we shall sue
coed in keeping him beaten in peace

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE A DIS
APPOINTMENT.

President Wilson is now re-visiting
the United States. He appeared be-
lore congress last week and delivered
a 5000 word message, beautiful as
TO composition and delivery, an
characteristic impracticability.
The message dealt almost entirely
with tie peace treaty and the
League of Nations. He argued from
an academic rather than practical
standpoint and dealt in glitterint
generalities rather than getting down
to brass tacks and discussing the
League of Nations from specific
viewpoint.
The United States senate must
ratify all treaties before they be-
come operative, and many of the
Presidents closest political friends
were disappointed because he did not
deal with this big question from a
broad-minded and practical angle.
President Wilson is planning for a
swing around the United States when
he processes to believe that he can
whip the people into line for the
League of Nations which was drawn
by the Peace conference and dictated
very largely by Premier Lloyd George
of Great Britain.
The American citizens are friendly
toward a League of Nations, but they
must first be satisfied that the
League protects the interests and
sovereignty of the United States
The biggest of the American states
man insist that, as passed by the
Peace Conference, the League comes
far short of safeguarding the inter-
ests of the United States, and it will
take more than the power of the
great office of President of the
United States and the rhetoric and
magnetism of the chief executive to
override the best minds of the coun-
try.
Will Hays, chairman of the Nation
al Republican committee has well
said that the League of Nations is
not a political question. AS it stands
practically every Republican member
Of the senate is opposed to the
League. 1t is also true that the
most of the really big men OF the
present senate are affiliated with the
republican party. The really big
ones on the democratic side are also
opposed to the League which Mr.
Wilson is intent on raining down the
Threats of the American people.
The opponents of the League vii
welcome Mr.. Wilson's proposed cam
paign of "pitiless publicity" to pre-
vent the dotting of an "i" or the
crossing of ct" in the present docu'
,,ant IN this cannaietn the preSid.
ent may deal in facts and not
generalities.
The Herald may be little peculiar
but we believe that the time has ar
rived for this country to become in
tenseIy American and to hold fast tt
everything which safeguards the ma
ton and to strenuously oppose every
thing which throws a cloud of douh
around or threatens American inter
aests.-A. M. w.

TOWNLEY CLEARS UP A DIS
PUTED POINT.

In the recent trial at Jackson
Mimi, at which Townley and Gilbert
were convicted of disloyal acts ant
altterances during the period of the
war, Townley insisted that the Non
partisan League was on trial.
This claim of Townley clears up {
condition in the League that ma!
well posted men have long conten led
namely, that Townley was the League
in fact
The indictments were brough
against Townley and Gilbert, bot
big guns in the organization. Moth

the League as an organization.

good money to join the League We.

Perth AmbOy Boys Bound
TO Stop 0ttO's Automobile

'Who can stop Otto's auto?" is the
question that is ranking In the
minds of quite a few Riddles nova
days. Yesterday Irving Weitberger,
of 392 Smith street, decided that his
little plan of stretching an American
flag across the road would make Otto
fetch up" Today Philip Muccilli
and Dominic Natoli got their heads
together, building an obstruction
that was certain to "fasz" our friend
Otto.
They suggested that a steep cliff
or embankment be placed, built, or
any other method at all used, as long
as a large pile of dirt, at an angle
of 90 would make Otto hesitate long
enough to place himself in extreme
danger of being "claud UP" by that
little bushy tailed animal. The
youngsters, to make 1t still harder,
definitely state hat the cliff must be
well splashed with rocks and other
hard elements that r back door
neighbors'' of our softer portions Of
our body, enough to make Otto afraid
to run amuck. .
Well, Philip and Dominic, wen
mail your plans for the holding up
OF Otto to Mr.. Ahearn, he most like
ly will find some method of over
coming your obstruction. Then may
be again you have solved the prob
lem that has been worrying the
