IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: The claim
is made that the present Iowa legis-
lature's high type is demonstrated
by the manner in which it has
cleaned out certain offices at the
state house and conducted the Rath-
bun pardon investigation But was
1t not a case Of withholding the last
straw that would have broken the
camefs back? How many investiga-
lions and disclosures came without
compulsion?
articles of the proposed league of
nations are SO ambiguous that men
Of the caliber of Lowell and Lodge
disagree as TO their import, wouldn't
it be well to rewrite them so that
plain folks might understand?
Des Moines Capital: Young Theo-
dore oosevelt-Lieutenant Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt--who has just
returned from active service in
France. seems to be treading uncon-
sciously into the sacred places in the
hearts OF the people which they
thought dedicated forever to the
memory of the great American-his
father
Cedar Rapids Republican: Those
who are insisting that Senator Reed
shall resign his seat because he does
not agree with them on the league
of nations are acting foolishly. We
do not have that sytem of govern
ment in this country
Burlington Hawk-Eye: What has
become of the phrase, making the
world safe for democracy" There
are SO many kinds Of democracy, or
so many things that pass for democ-
racy. that it seems to have been
deemed expedient to shelly that
phrase for the present.
Marshaltown Times Republican:
sleeping sickness. On the farm it
Vinton Eagle: When one stops to
think Of it, it is almost impossible to
blame the president for his refusal
to call congress into extra session, in
spite Of the urgent need for legisla-
ton. 1t is easy to see that the presi.
dent Is not going to highly enjoy the
next session OF the congress, which
will not be wholly in accord with his
ideal!stic theories.
Dubuque TelegraphlHeraId: Gov
ernor Harding, il not saint, has
never indicated heretofore that he is
both a moral and mental idiot. He
must be credited with intelligence
enough to understand the enormity
of the offense that would be involved
in accepting money outright for
granting a pardon in such circun-
stances. His guilt cannot be
assumed on any theory that would
make him anything less monstrous
than moral degenerate.
Waterloo Tribune: We must
consider in this case that Harding
and Havner have not hitched; that
they have been political enemies;
that they are not friendly personally.
1t is proper to believe that Harding
would do nothing to accommodate
Hayner and Havner preferred to
work against rather than with Hard
ing.

WARS NOW ON.

While the peace conference has been chasing
rainbows instead of making peace with Ger
many, half dozen new wars have broken ont
and there is promise of more. The Poles are
fighting the Germans, Ukrainians and Czecho-
Slovaks The Russians and Hungarlans are
fighting the entente powers. The Ukralnlans
are fighting the bolsheviki. Ireland is seethlng
as usual There is disturbance in Egypt, and
we seem to have little side-line war with
Mexico started; for troops Of the Eighth United
States cavalry chased Mexican cattle thieves
across the border, recovering the stolen stock
and killing FIVE of the thieves. 1t is quite un-
derstandable therefore when French and Brit
ish papers suggest that the league Of nations
has been an obstacle to the conclusion of peace
and that the delegates to the conference on
whom the chief responsibility rests are impress
ed with the necessity of doing something right
away to save the situation.

President Wilson says that the proposal to

SUBSTITUTE
FOR COUNCIL MAY
OMIT AMERICANS

PARIS, Oct. II. (By Associated
Press. Immediately after formal rati-
fication of the treaty of peace with
Germany, the supreme council of the
peace conference probably will name
a coordination commission, the duties
of which will be to decide what bodies
shall have jurisdiction over matters not
definitely assigned by, the treaty. This
commission will in a way carry on part
of the work which has been performed
by the supreme council, which rs ex-
pected to close soon.
Manifestly the United States cannot
be represented on this coordination
commission until she ratifies the treaty,
General regret Is apparent over the
impossibility to start off all the com
missions under the treaty with a full
membership from the great powers as
it would be much simpler if all the per-
manent members of the various COM
missions could begin work simul-j
taneously.
In the Rhineland the Belgian, French
and British members of the inter-allied
commission, of which an American will
be the fourth member, will probably be
empowered by their governments to
proceed with civil administration in
spite of the fact the Rhineland conven-
ton requires American cooperation. In
American occupied territory military

The coordination commission viii
have lesser powers than those held by
the supreme council. It's members will
not be plentpotentiaries, but win be re-
quired TO refer important matters to
their various foreign offices for de-
cision. This commission will deal with
matters relating only TO the German
treaty and will not indulge In the gem
eral discussion of Russian. Turkish or
other international problems. The Gre

jeet Of providing a picturesque mountain

States might find refuge during the

entire structure and put the grounds in

ARMY ORDER CAUSES

Labor Units Of A. E. F. Not Same
as Disciplined Battalions

Paris, May I Correspondence Of
The Associated Press. )--Grave injus-
tee has been done to thousands Of
American soldiers constituting the
Labor Battalions of the American Elk
peditionary Forces because of the
manner in which publicity has been
given to General Order No. 80 Of the
United States Army in France, de-
clares Rev. DR.. Albert j. Mccartney,
moderator of the Chicago Presbytery,
engaged in Young Mems Christian
Association work in France.
The order directed that soldiers suf
fering from social diseases shall be
separated and assigned to provisional
organizations retained for labor pur-
poses in Europe" DR.. Mccartney
says it is unfortunate that mo atten-
ton has been called to the fact that
this order is in no way intended to
reflect upon the Labor Battalions
properly so-called, which are a per-
manent and indispensable feature of
the United States Army"
THE popular mind" he adds, Us
likely to confuse the Labor Battalion
feature Of Army life with the d1scl-
plinary labor referred to in General
Order No. 80"
He declares that he recently spent
some time with 1000 men Of one La
Dor Battalion and they ARE as fine
and clean a set of fellows as you will
find in the Army and they sorely re-
sent the reflection that the popular
Interpretation of General Order No. 80
has put upon them.
