DIRECT ACTION
LACKS KICK
Revolution in America Will
Fail Because of Inher-
ent AmericaniSm.
Die WILL BE CAST SOON
(BY WILLIAM ALLEN wHlTE.)

(BY WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE.)
The revolution In America, feared
by timid conservatives. and wel-
coined by reckless radicals, seems not
to be a revolution. 1t lacks the
kick"
The steel strike and the local coal
strike seem to be negIible as revo-
lutionary forces. This is due partly
to bad stage management upon the
part of the directors of these strikes,
a failure to comprehend and even to
consider middle class psychology;
hut the failure of these strikes to
elicit public sympathy is due to
deeper reasons.
sMhasAsssasiaea spsopasyery mucir N
the English people, are for law and
order. 1t is part of the Puritan hsrf-
tage.
And it is deeply embodied in the
Puritkn blood. Americans like their
institutions to proceed, with resi-
dent secretary and treasurer, and to
function after a lot of "whereases
and be it resolved" have been duly
adopted. The Anglo-Saxon never has
complicated his politics with assina-
tion. nor his business with the
hold-up.
The strike, however, Is always In
grave danger OF getting the public
irritated and separated from a SYM
pathetic cooperation. The lack of
public sympathy is what has taken
the "kick" out of the revolution.

fail TO INVOKE
CLQTURE RULE
Attempt Of Democratic Sena-
tors to Limit Treaty De-
bate Defeated.
APPEAL LOSES "A TO aS

Washington, Nov. 13.--An attempt
by democratic senator's to invoke the
cloture rule SO as to limit debate on
the foreign relations committee res
ervations to the peace treaty failed
today in the senate.
BY a vote of A to 36. with all of
the republicans present and Senators
Reed, of Missouri, and Shields, of
Tennessee, democrats, voting in the
affirmative, the senate adopted a mo-
tion by Republican Leader Lodge to
table an appeal from a ruling that
the democrats move was out of or
der.
Held Out of Order.
The democratic petition for cloture
had been held out of order by the
chair because it sought to limit de-
bate only on the reservations and
not on the whole treaty. 1t was for
this reason, Senator Lodge said, that
the republicans opposed the move.
The senate voted down, 68 to 4, the
proposal by Senator Walsh, demo
crat. of Montana. to amplify the res
ervation to Article X of. the league
tions would be under no obligation to
aid the United States in preserving
its territorial integrity. Those vot-
ing for the proposal were Walsh, oi
Montana, and Pittman, of Nevada
democrats, and La Toilette. of Wis
consin, and Norris, of Nebraska, re-
publicans.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kOta. prominent among the mild res
ervationists" on the republican side
announced that in very short time
clOture rule covering the entire
treaty would be presented.
Decide on Aggressiveness.
The move followed a morning con-
ference of the administration forces
at which it was decided to take ag-
gressive measures against what II
was feared might develop into stub
born filibuster against the treaty.
Senator Norris. republican. of Ne
braska. raised a point of order against
the petition on the ground that the

jority reservations, but the treaty it.

(BY AUGUSTIN LARDY.)

Hoboken, N. j., Nov. 13.-U. N. So
Beneath gray skies and before a
tragic little congregation of weeping
relatives, the nation today gave final
tribute to 103 young American heroes
who had paid their last full measure
of devotion on the battlefield amidst
the frozen wastes of northern Russia.
One hundred and three collins,
draped with the American flag and
almost hidden beneath heaped-up
roses, held the mortal remains of the
youthful American soldiers who had
fallen in action against the bolshe-
visits on the Archangel front.
The bodies had come in on the
transport Lake Draga and were lined
in solemn tiers on pier No. 4, beneath
roof beams that we're hidden behind
folds of black, mournful bunting and
the Stars and Stripes. Between 2U0
and 300 relatives, mostly from Mich
igan, wept in inconsolable grief while
men from the foremost ranks of the
nations public men spoke words of
glorious praise.
These soldiers, all members of the
339th infantry, had been called from
their peaceful homes to fight the
Germans, but were ordered into Rus
sia from their tldining camps in
England. All had perlShed since the
signing of the armistice on Nov. IL,
1918.
About 500 persons in all had gath
cred for the memorial services, in
Guiding representatives of the United
States senate, the national house OF
| representatives., the state of Michi-
gan, the city of Detroit and the
American Legion. The United States
| army was represented by a row oi
| soldiers standing at attention and be-
hind the collins. Behind the soldiers
stood thin line of yeowomen from
the navy.
To-day We meet this company. oi
| dead. no less triumphant than those
| of the triumphant living who have
marched on; but let us not sorrow
too hopelessly for those who have in
herited the immortal youthfulness oi
