everywhere disturbed, has potcntlali-
ties of great mischief.
We are sometimes told that the out
side world takes Villa and Zapata,
and Felix Diaz more seriously than
Mexico does; that, singly, they are OF
small consequence, and that union
between them is impossible; that, In
dealing with them, as good way as
any is to let them wear themselves
out; that in time they will do that.
and then all viii be we'll.
But, in reply. it must be said that
they are tough, and show wonderful
staying power. They have now been
in action for years. with varying for
tunes. At one time Villa looked e1-
ceedingly formidable At another time
Zapata had reached almost the out
skirts of Mexico City. Then the
strength OF both diminished, and their
activities slaekened.
But they may come back. Their for
tunes may revive. If possible, the
Mexican government should put a
quietus on all bandits and banditry,
and thus demonstrate to the world com
plete mastery of the situation.

Responsibility at Paris.

Completion OF the membership Of
the various committees of the peace
conference at Paris assures full ac-
ceptanee by the smaller powers of the
general plan of organization, which
gives to the major nations the prin-
cipal part in shaping the policies to be
pursued. This is a development in
harmony and makes for the best re-
suits of the conference. If all of the
twenty-four nations represented at
Paris were to participate in all of the
activities the procedure would become
complex and would be delayed. Evil
IDENTIFY the smaller nations have recog-
nized the necessity of concentrating
the responsibility upon those powers
that bore the brunt of the war and
that must in the future provide the
necessary means for peace keeping.
If the peace conference were con-
Quoted after the fashion of legislative
body, with each national unit possess
ing equal power and authority with
another, the way would be open for all
kinds of ordinations. Doubtless in
the final decisions the nations will vote
by units, and the votes will be de-
eisive. But there must be response
bility somewhere, and it cannot be
vested in mere numerical majority
of the membership regardless of the
position, resources, the interests and
the potential peace enforcement power
OF the greater nations, which are in the
minority numerically.
If there is any virtue whatever in
the peace conference, any power for
constructive work, the smaller nations
can depend on the larger ones. Mat
tiers have proceeded far enough at
Paris already to show that the most
serupulous care will be taken of the
interests and welfare of all partici-
pants. The warning uttered the other
day against precipitate attempts to en-
force territorial claims should be re-
garded as the surest guarantee against
inequity, and it may be that this &C.
ton served to allay any apprehension
that might be felt by the lesser pow
ers and to cause them to accept the
mode Of organization which vests the
real authority along with the respons-
ibility in the major nations.

ready complained-of number Of its
provisions.
1t is true, as The Star has previously
stated, that Congress has worked under
difficulties produced by rapidly chang
ing conditions. The Houses labors
were performed under one state of the
case, and revised by the Senate under
another state of the case, and then the
Senate's revision was revised by the
conference under still another state
of the ease.
This makes it plain that a much
better and more satisfactory measure
could have been prepared if the earlier
part of the work-that of the House
could have been Cancelled by the Sen
ate, and an entirely new measure
drafted. As time passed radical
changes in affairs took place, and these
demanded treatment according to their
nature.
But, for better, for worse. here at
last is the bill; and the country will
accept it with as good grace as pos
sible. The assessments are heavy, but
the needs Of the government are large
and pressing; and as the war Is over,
and We are to steer in future by
peace chart, which should tighten the
load as we go on, philosophical mood
is the proper one.

The Goal Reached.

The conference committee has con-
eluded its labors on the revenue meas
ure, and the result Will be reported to
House and Senate in a few days.
Prompt acceptance by both bodies is
expected, and then the bill will be sent
to Paris for the Presidents signature.
Presumably that will be attached at
once. Mr.. Wilson is not a revenue ex-
pert, and even if he were would not
have the time to examine so compre-
hensive and intricate a performance.
The world problems he has now in
hand exclude all other things.
1t has been long, long way to Tip
perary. Nearly year has elapsed
since the ways and means committee
first addressed itself to the subject.
Then the war was still in progress in
all fury, with speculation rife as to the
end. No guess of an early end was
made by anybody in either America
or Europe. Strong fear prevailed that
the struggle would continue several
years longer. Germany was preparing
for another offensive on the western
front, and showing great activity.
Thus we see measure begun in war
times for war purposes finished in
peace times to meet peace purposes.
There will be criticism Of the meas.
ure, some Of it well founded. Thl

Germany's Responsibility.

\ diplomatic dispatch from Zurich,
quoting German newspapers, announces
that German delegates to the inter
national socialist conference to be held
at Bern will acknowledge Germany's
responsibility for the war One of the
papers asserts that the resolutions to
be presented by the German delega-
ton have been prepared and have been
approved by the Ebert government.
The delegation will state that the plan
for invasion of Belgium had been pre-
pared long before by Gen. Ludendorff.
The delegation will attempt to show
that Prussia, rather than the whole
German nation, was responsible for
the conflict.
In this connection it is a matter of
interest to know what has become of
the proposed German white book"
that Karl Kautsky, formerly of the
Berlin foreign Office, has been prepar-
ing from the documents left behind
at the Wilhelmstrasse when the old
government was displaced. No word
has come for some time regarding this
matter. 1t has been hoped that the
investigation might be made by rep
resentatives of the allied nations, to
insure perfect publicity for all the de-
tails. Yet if the Ebert government is
disposed to approve the declarations
of the socialist delegates to the Bern
conference to the effect that Ger
many precipitated the war, there may
be no reason to apprehend efforts on
its part to conceal the truth.
