WAITING FOR H ANSWER

There is no lack of prophecy as to what Germany
intends to do with the final draft of the peace conditions
handed to her representatives last Monday, but it ap-
pears that nearly all forecasts are based on an INSULT.
cheney of actual information, that it is, in short, nothing
but suesswork. Even members of the American peace
delegation in Paris say that while they are convinced
that the German signature will be forthcoming presently
they have little direct or comprehensive information re-.
garding the German attitude"
Reports have reached this country that a number OF
Londoners are waging large amounts of money for and
against the possibility Of a signature now, but in this az
In all other cases, there is a dearth Of facts which would
Justify conjecture.
Probably the situation. when all is said, simmer.
down to this that no one in all the world knows whethe,
or not Germany will accept the terms imposed upon her
by her vanquishers. Conflicting reports coming from
Germany support this theory, for at one moment we are
told that individual members Of the cabinet will sign
while at the next we are informed that the cabinet will
refuse to endorse any signature which the delegates may
affix to the momentous instrument. Again, reports 70
forth to the effect that the national asAembly has made
up its mind not to sisn--and a moment later the cables
carry the message that a n majority of members of the Wei,
mar assembly will favor signing. Ell y
Under these circumstances it is exceedingly difficult
to sustain any forecast, but it may. be Of interest to recall
that during the exciting days Of last October, when the
world was waiting with bated breath for Berlin's answer
to some Of the demands of the Allies, voiced in President
Wilson'S notes, it was a popular pastime to declare posi-
lively that Germany would not .acauesce In any impoT.
tant steps ordered by the v1ctors. AS things turped cut.
Germany accepted everything.
At that time there was, AZ now. a great deal ofJEi-
tation going on in the defeated country. and an effort
was made to create the impression that the Berlin gov
eminent under no circumstances would allow itself to
be Inundated. Yet,,in the early days Of November the
humiliation was an accomplished fact. The noise made
by the Germans probably was thought1to be part Of some
subtle propaganda which had well defined. but unpub-
lished, objects. s1s
It may be SO this time. too, and Il our nesser knovi-
edge concerning actual conditions among the Germans
maybe taken as an indication Of the extent to their
dsspsxstion may drive them. it seems. indeed, more than
probable that Count Y. Rrockdorff- Rantzau and his asao-
'ciates viii be! authorized to accept the terms now finally
drawn up. even though the notifications asked tor have
not been granted.

THE PASSING OF ORLANDO

vittorio Orlando, who has offered >the resignation
Of his cabinet to the king, was one Of 1taly's strongest
men - long a he remained IN the high post Of premier.
At home as we'll ~ in Paris Orlando was usually con-
sidered an aseute politician ana = shrewd statesman. and
even though some of his important opinions at times ran
counter to those hsld by representatives of other Allied
nations, they were generally respected because they were
the result Of close study and assiduous observation.
At the time of the present writing, Information re-
garding the italian cabinet crisis is rather mAeger, byt
from what has reached this country It appears that Or
,ando has made = tactical blunder at a tins when 1t is
imperative to keep heads clear and hands steady. The
very force Of the majority Of the members Of the cham
Der Of deputies who gave him a vote Of no confidence
indicates that there are some elements back Of the de-
velopment which are not yet known here, and it is SO
much the more surprising a. it is but q few weeks
since that very same chamber of deputies overwhelming
ly asserted Its confidence in the premier.
Among contributary reasons for the collapse OF the
Orlando cabinet the insistsncs on a secret session for
the discussion Of certain delicate foreign problems seems
to be an important one. 1t IL Characteristic, also, in that
it shows the trend Of the public mind since the question
of secret diplomacy has become intensely timely. Even
though the controversy bstween the cabinet and the
chamber of deputies may have been particularly bitter,
it must be conceded that such friction at just this time
is exceedingly unfortunate because Of Its direct influence
upon the joint policy Of the Allied nations. It will not
result in any change Of front with regard to the peace
treaty-for the stage Of changes has irrevocably passed
but it will serve to indicate a lack Of harmony between
one Of the principal governments and it's people, and it
is probable that the Fiurne problem which, despite 1tal-
ian declarations, has not been finally settled. may once
more be injected into the peace negotiations with the re-
suit that further postponement will become necessary.
Unless the Italian king refuses to accept the resignation
Of the Orlando cabinet, new men will have to be sent
from Rome to Paris, and that undoubtedly will be
synonymous with a renewed lengthy discussion of the is
sues which mainly concern Italy and her part Of the
peace treaty with Austria.
What bearing the resignation may, have upon the
signing of the treaty with Germany, is problenatical, but
If Orlando remains out a further postponenent is likely,
for the reason that it will take at least a few days to or
ganize and duly authorize an entirely new Italian peace
delegation. 20

THE PRESIDENT IN BELGIUM

A day or two before President Wilson arrived in
Belgium, correspondents at Brussels sent out lengthy dis
patches picturng the lack of enthusiasm with which the
American executive would be greeted upon his arrival.
Ielgium's reception was to be in the nature of a final.
almost exasperated, appeal for consideration in the APP
portionment of reparations and indemnities, it was said.
It was added that feeling in Belgium was rather Intense
because the impression prevailed that the country. had
not received fair treatment at the peace congress- In
Faris, and thatnuch of the general disappointment was
due to the attitude and policy Of the president of the
United States.
Someone in the Belgian capital speaks about the
almost frisid atmosphere of the people whose visitor
Mr.. Wilson now is, and ascribes it to the fact that the
distinguished American did not pay q visit to Belgium
during the early days of his European sojourn; the pres
et journey is being undertaken merely for the sake of
appearances, one Belgian writer is quoted as saying.
Forecasts are all risht-when they are correct and
have, their origin in sound reasoning. Otherwise they are
merely ridiculous, as was the advance picture drawn OF
Belgiums reception Of Mr.. Wilson. For Associated Press
dispatches now inform us that the spontaneity of the
greeting which Belgians extended to their guest was very
conspicuous and that there could be no doubt whatso-
ever as to the deep sincerity Of the welcome. In ac-
claiming the president, Belgians apparently also want
to emphasize that they are full Of gratitude toward the
American nation for all it did from the very early days
Of the war in the direction Of alternating suffering
throughout the devastated country. - g:a4
MI. Wilson. on his side. did a most gracious thing
by announcing his readiness to suggsst to tho congress
that the post at Brussels be elevated fron q legation to
an embassy, and that the diplomatic representative of
the United states DO clothed with the rank ard authority
Of AMBASSADOR instead Of minister.
A country. which is not politically a power Of the
first magnitude. is apt to appreciate very profoundly
the spirit that prompts such . suggestion. and we may
feel certain that the presidents announcement will fur
ther cement the solid bonds Of friendship and affection
existing between the Belgian and the American peoples

THE SEASON OF PlcNlcS

Just now while farmers picnios and reunions are be-
ing held in many parts Of the Red River Valley, it may
be opportune to call attention to one feature of\ these
gatherings which becomes increasingly conspicuous as the
years 90 by: 1t is the lessenins of the distance between
city and country. -.
Time was when the distance separating townspeople
and farmers was far greater than could be expressed
merely in terms Of miles; there was mutual suspicion,
mutual jealousy and much hesitation in accepting out
s~tretfhed hands. During certain periods it actually look
ed as though the country and city were two wholly dis
tinct worlds. each with its own Joys and sorrows, each
with its own ideals or prejudices. /
That, has passed, and one of the unmistakable signs
that 1t has, is the growing popularity of the farmers pic
MICS which are attended. largely by people from the cities.
The discovery has been made that there is no dividing
difference between the man who cultivates the soil and
the man who purchases and resells his products. They
are alike in their way of thinking; their interests are
the very same.
1t is not only the commercial ties between country
and city that have been strengthened; it is every other
community spirit which works against narrow-minded-
ness and encourages 2 friendship which extends far be-
yond the limits of mere commerce.
Against that spirit a fight is being waged by q clique
of INSCRIPTIONS politicians in our own state. They go on
preaching the obsolete and destructive doctrine of class
hatred and class prejudice and go to extreme measures
in their efforts to create a schism betyeeh the people OF
the country and the people of the city.
Such efforts are foreordained to end ,disastrously-
for those who spend their time in making them. Political
narrow-mindednes and pettinesss cannot fight effective
ly against that community spirit which spells success for
farmers as well as for townspeople, and every time farm.
ers and city dwellers gather at picnics or other festive
gatherings, they demonstrate once more that they will
adhere to the ideals which teach that there is no differ.
ence: All are alike, all are Americans. and ones work
is as necessary as that of the other.
Efforts to stir up any sentiment in contrast with the
community spirit are as futile as they are reactionary
That's the message Of the gatherings now held in numer
GUS groves and parks throughout this section Of the coun.
