General applause was accorded
President wilson's action in refusing
to grant TO the railway shopmen more
than a slight increase of wages, and
his statement explaining his course
and appealing to the men, and to all
workers, to stop striking and get TO,
work to increase production and there
by help reduce the cost Of living. He
declared It vital to public welfare that
demands for higher wages, 'unwisely
made and passlonately insisted on,
should cease. and that there should be
n truce in industrial disputes until IN
telllgent settlements can be made. in
this he was supported by Warren S.
Stone, chief of the engineers, whose
statement implied that the shopmen. IL
they insisted on striking, would not be
helped by the four great railway broth
erhoods. The leaders of the shopmen
rejected the settlement offered by
President Wilson and ordered that the
locals take a vote on the question.
In his statement Mr.. Wilson called
the present Temporary situation
which will last, in all probability, only
for n limited time" and in SO far az
the cost of the necesSaries of life ia
concerned Attorney General Palmer
agrees with him. Mr.. Palmer believes
the price Of almost every necessity will
be lower next year than this, and that
persons who buy clothing and other
articles now for next year Will be
fooled and are only helping to keep
prices high. Reduction will be
brought about, he thinks, by the actlv-
tiles Of the government against prof
iteers and hoarders, the operation Of
fair price committees, and especially
by increased production. He sees in
the arguments that induce people to
buy now an organized propaganda pro-
NOTED by greedy dealers.

to Versailles: "You will sign the fol-

regulate the future size of the German
army and navy, they will dispose of the
surplus armament, they will fix price
in warships and merchant marine to be
paid, and in all important respects they
will decide the conditions under which
Germany must hereafter live"

By Frank H. Simonds

AARlS, March 10.-What will
President Wilson find when he
IL returns to Paris? This is the
question which doubtless is being
asked in America at the present time.
TO what extent will the opposition in
American politics influence the future
course of the peace conference? While
the answer to the question involves more
or less speculation, certain things are
fairly plain.
In the first place, while the President
will hardly receive that same spontane-
Gus outburst which greeted him on his
first coming, this will be due solely to
the tact that such an ovation, in the very
nature OF things, would not be repeated:
but by contrast there is no reason to sun
pose that the President will not be well
coined exactly as heartily as if there had
been no domestic disturbance in America.
In fact, in certain sense, the Presidents
welcome will be the warmer because his
whole mission has undergone sea
change. He came here as the representa-
tive OF America in Europe, and to
very considerable extent his speeches in
America recently have made him seem
to be the representative Of Europe in
America. To suppose that the repre-
sentatives Of the various governments
in Europe will change their attitude to-
ward the President of the United States
because of the opposition manifested to
him by the Republican leaders In the
Senate Is to make mistake, is to mis-
understand the political situation In Eu-
rope itself. Were the leaders of the
various governments in Europe to change
their attitude and treatment of Mr.. Will
son he would Immediately become the
spokesman for the respective minorities
IN France, in England and in Italy.
The thing that is 40 difficult to tell.
and yet 80 unnistakable, is the fact that
for the masses Ut people in Europe Mr..
Wilson represents the United States he
represents liberal ideas, and he SYM

and make it a part thereto, would GER
tainly arouse opposition and impatience.
My judgment is that it is the expectation
Of the American commissioners now in
Paris that the preliminary treaty of
peace will contain only declaration of
principle concerning the league of na-
tions.
In sum, then, President Wilson on his
return will find Europe with its mind
practically made up to the new arrange
ment of its own affairs, both territorial
and financial; he will find it a cordial.
sympathetic partisan of his fight in
America, but unwilling to postpone the
making of the preliminary peace to con-
form to political necessities in America.
One other circumstance is worth men
tioning. Practically every one of the
disputes between the various races, such
as that between the Italians and the
Jugo-Slavs, between Poland and the
Czecho-Slovaks, between the .Rumanians
and the Lithuanians, and between the
Greeks and the Italians, seems likelv in
the end to wait upon American arbitra-
ton, since we alone have no secret
treaties or established friendships to
prejudice our Judgment. Unhappily, the
position of the judge begets bitterness
rather Ian enthusiasm not infrequently.
and not few Americans tremble to
think of the unpopularity that may vet
come to their country as result of an
eminently fair decision in the case of
rival races whose rivalries are in manv
instances at least thousand years old.
We are, in fact, within two steps of a
preliminary peace which on the larger
side will be the real peace. We almost
know our minds with respect to Ger
many. we are nearly ready to let her
know our mind. When we have dealt
with Germany, what remains will be
relatively insignificant, and we shall be-
gin to emerge from that depressing and
paralyzing twilight zone which for four
months has separated actual war from
real peace.

man to his environment 1t might even be
said that the school itself grew, out of
fear of what might happen to human beings
if they didn't somehow relate their knowl-
edge to the facts of their modern life.
1t is difficult thing to describe a school
like that. A school for the teaching of
anarchy has it's obviously interesting points.
There are the laboratories for making
bombs, the school barber shops, where the
cultivation of long hair and boards is dem
onstrated, and the flag shops, where the
dyeing and sewing of red flags are taught.
All this is picturesque and of salient inter
est. Schools for the teaching of modern
art, including socialism, also Of deep
interest and disclose themselves easily TO
the observer. But here is a school that is
strangely lacking in these distinguishing
marks of modernism. Flamboyance, in man
ncrs and ideas together, is lacking. None
theless, it must be confessed that there Is
something exciting about this new school
To come off the street, out of an atmos-

ton. His real state of affairs demands
new fear to make him surmount his en-
vironment and get contentment out of it,
But he has been fearing something that
was disposed of long ago and all his ef-
forts have been wasted This is again
warning to fear with intelligence and wake
fulness.
One would believe that education would
nave lot to do with keeping man the
right track Of what to fear. The Church,
which was the source of the meagre educa-
ton of the Middle Ages, was the custodian
of fears, and did very we'll at it. But the
world was simple in those days and it
ton, on the other hand, has had tremen-
dously big and complicated world to deal
WITH and it finally got so caught up in
with, and it finally got caught SO up in
some of its own professional fears that it
has had little time to point the way to any
first rate modern fears. For instance, prac-
tically every professor of political science
or literary science or artistic science or
legal, and any of the other strictly social
sciences, has spent most of his time driven
by the fear that he wouldn't have time to
teach everybody all the knowledge of the
past, or that he wasn't going to have time
to get it all neatly sorted out for those
who wanted to know the past, himself in
Guided. Something was bound to happen
to him, not keeping track of the new fears
that were coming on. Professors of prac-
tical science were good deal better off.
While some of them were still tinksring
with the laws of Archimedes man acct
dentally discovered the power of steam
which was at once fine new fear let loose
in the world. They had to drop Archimedes
and get to work because of the fear Of this
new power, and they have been influenced
by the right fears most of the time since.
The other man in the main has been liv-
ing, sleeping, eating and drinking with the
old, worn-out phantom fears of yesterday.
Steam, electricity all tho great powers for
fear in the mechanical world, pricking men
OIL and up, have been putting up new
civilization around him, with new social
fears coming on around him and becoming
adult, and he has failed to notice what
was going on, so absorbed was he in his
vague yesterdays.
This couldn't continue, assuredly Here
and there some unprofessional person, un-
burdened by cares, would spy out some of
the new fears and would get fdgety about
them. Professors are dignfied lot, most
of them, taken up by lot of personal
fears, and few of them would pay any at
tention. Yet in time one of these natu-
rally unprofessional persons would get to
be a professor without losing his amateur
standing and would turn his attention on
these new fears. Out of this might per-
haps grow a new school, say School for
Giving Modern People tho Right Kind of
Fears Fitted to Their Time and Crcum-
stance.
Indeed, New York now has school of
this kind, young but fourishing, set down in
its midst. There are, of course, many
schools taken up with various kinds of
modern knowledge, preoccupied with various

shat they tried to pass on the advantages
TO the rest of the race by putting them up
in tabuleted form. Moses is generally
looked upon as one of the most able Of
these men, the Ten Commandments being
one Of the finest hcritages Of fears human
ity has been able TO get together.
Sometimes in history, through careless
ness of one kind or another, or through
having things too good or being too busy
under the stimulus of some of his older
fears, man wakes up to find himself in
trouble by having failed to acquire the
right fears proper to his time and condi-
