LONDON, May s.-The peace terms.
while receiving considerable approval
from almost the entire London press do
not escape sharp criticism on certain
points. The objections centre mainly
on the question of financial compen-
sation from Germany.
Some newspapers are dissatisfied be-
cause they consider the terms too
severe. Others think they are not severe

oifhcult to say whether the ireatv is
good or bad, because of the "complexity
ana lntrIcacy of the terms" but is en-
phatlc in declaring the value Of tho
treaty depends upon the power to en-
lorce 1t. "as Germany certainly will NOT

The Daily Chronicle" thinks that
the conference missed an opportunity
as regards Poland, and fears that the
Polish settlement may in the future
prove the weak point of the entire
treaty. 1t also believes that the treaty
will be judged least favorably on the
financial side in both England and Ger
many.
The treaty embodies the most severe
sentence ever passed upon a great ma
ton, "The Daily News" says, and CON
tinues:
Germany is handcuffed and in irons
from top to toe. She appealed to force
and must take the consequences"

PARIS, May (By The Associated

The council of four, with Premier

to arrange the programme for the

The Austrian treaty has begun to
take form. Portions of it already
have been drafted.

being required to pay the entire in

shell shock on the future health Of
a man who is even now suffering

us apart, but now that barrier is
swept away.
ONE OF THE MANY WAITING.
The only sensible advice to give
this correspondent is to beg her
to wait and see what condition her
soldier boy is in when he returns
from France, and TO carefully note
h'5 progress. Many wonderful
cues have been effected in the
case Of shell shock by psychanaly-

HDicLn wrote to this

N BOUI a week ago, younR
~ marine, signing himself
"Dick," wrote to this
column his experiences with love
and war.
1t seems that after he had been
engaged to a girl for five months
he enlisted in the marines, and
was sent to France. After several
months of active service he lost
an arm as the result of shell ex-
plosion. Returning to his own
country, his fiancee promptly
broke her engagement with him,
giving as her excuse that she
could not marry a cripple.
In the meantime she had con-
soled herself with a young officer
whom "Dick" described as a
"desk vamp." The foregoing is
the simple tale of a brave young
soldier and a girl who failed to
measure up to the standards of
fneness and loyalty we uncon-
sciously demand of an American
girl.
Dicks story has brought out
many others dealing with SINH
lar cases. Soldiers have written
to me, asking if they are justified
in accepting from girls-more
loyal and steadfast than Dicks
the consolation and devotion that
these fine specimens of American
girl are eager to offe~. The fol-
lowing from a hero VI Chateau
Thierry is typical:
No Lack Of Loyalty Here.

brutality he stood for.
But the girl, Miss Fairfax, that
splendid, young thing, when she
saw me, said: "Oh boy, I wouldn't
have you any other way" Then
we talked things out. Now a man
with his right arm gone has to be
