AN APOLOGY

To Mr.. j.. b. j. Lohner, the
Journal wishes to tender its sin
cerest apology for an article ap-
pearing in its issue Of August %
under the caption "Would Not
Hurt Brother Wolf"
How this article, or any other
like it, found its way into the Jour
nal columns is one of the unex-
planned mysteries of the Office. It
occurred during the one week when
the managing editor of the Journal
had got past knowing or taking any
interest in earthly affairs and the
regular copy gatherer was absent
from Extra.
This apology is made freely and
voluntarily; and to it is added the
assurance that nothing is farther
from its intention than to injure
Mr.. Lohner, whom it holds in the
highest respect and esteem, by any
word or act. In view of this fact,
and the further one that it has for
him only the sincerest good will,
this retraction is a matter of simple
iuStice.

RESERVATIONS NOT
 WANTED IN TREATY
Senator PittInan Thinks It Would
 Cause Trouble

Washington, July 2J.-Any rCSerVa- tiOnS in senate ratification of the peace treaty would reopen the whole field of negotiation, encourage other nations to make reservations and renew inter- national diSSCnSiOn, declared Senator Pittman, Nevada, a democratic mem- Der Of the foreign relations commit tee i'll an address today in the senate
 Cites Spanish Treaty.
 The speaker cited the Spanish trcaN of 1919 to which the senate attached q reservation as to papal claims in Florida and said that although the Spanish government attached the same reservation, the treaty had to be ratified d second time because the two StipulatiOnS were differently WOrded. He pointed out that the the supreme court later held this reservation to be "a part of the treaty." and that the same court had held of the treaty with Spain that "in it's essence 1t is d con- tract"
 Is Question of Law.
 Ut is immat erial," continued Sena- tor Pittman, "Whether the senate con- siders the reservation as changing the treaty or not, for that is a question under the law of contracts that the other party has an equal right to de- termine. It is immateria whether the change be accomplished in the body of the treaty or by reservations in the resolution approving the treaty or by lnterpretatiVe classes annexed to the treaty. The words in d contract are of as much importance to the con- tracing parties as the agreement it. self and the words once agreed upon cannot be changed without the con- sent of each of the parties to be bound by the contract.
 Are we justified in assuming that other parliaments and governments will accept without further interpre- tation our definitions of the articles of the covenant as affecting our own obligations?
 Japan Made Bitter Fight
 "Japan's most bitter fight at the council table was to grant the league jurisdiction to prevent the United States, Canada and Australia from ex- cludmg Japanese from their territories under the immigration laws. Do you think that the Japanese government will neglect the opportunity to again to insist on reservations in the treaty covering this point?
 Would Cause Complications.
 IulIk' you that the Italian parlld- ment having the opportunity by re- opening of negotiations, would hesi- tate to place in the treaty reservations which they believe are necessary to protect her interests al Plume, Dalma- tia and along the Adriatic when we had set the example?
 Would there be cause for surprise if in the circumstances, the paria- ment of Great Britain should feel jus tifed in adding a reservation to the treaty when it goes back to them to the effect that the clause providing for limitation of naval armament shall not, by reason of Great Britains pe- cullar situation, apply to that govern- ment?
 Unless we approve this treaty as it stands then We open the door to all of the disastrous possibilities of renew ed international dissensiOn."

Organization Founded on Principe of "Non-Interference of Other Nations in Cuba'S AfairS''

Havana, July 24.-A new political party was formed in Cuba today with mon n-interference of other nations in Cuba's s affairs" as it's principal plat form.

of the vast perplexities OF our day.
In the Statesman's Role.
Hopeful new enterprises are afoot for
united world service by Christians OF
all names. Thank God for every one of
themi Would that behind all else. and
under all else. and comprehending all
else, there might be a mighty covenant
/ of prayer among all Christians--not a
new organization or enrolment. but a
general diffusion of purpose to pray
daily. and often every day. in private
as well as in public and at the family
altar, for the coming OF the kingdom of
God among men.
Ambitious spirits are eager to go to
foreign lands to have personal snare
in shaping new conditions. The short
est route of all Is via the throne Of
God. One may directly and powerfully
affect the course of events in Asia and
Africa by the way of the prayer closet.
Christian may through prayer play
statesman's role in the remaklng or the
world. More than 1t needs editorials or
speeches or commissions or experts.
this present mass of human society
needs the divine help that may be in
sured by sincere prayer.
The Secret Tryst.
Two chara cteristics of the prayer that
counts are set forth in the days Scrip
ture lesson. One is the story OF the
widow who kept on asking until she re-
ceived. There is an importantly that

hands of the women they loved. God
prizes that kind of wooer for his favor.
He asks patience and continuance in
prayer as proof Of a faith that will not
be denied Any boon from on high is
worth waiting long years to receive.
True prayer keeps on praying until II
knows itself answered.
The other incident in the lesson pic

other a despised tax-gatherer. off in

Prayer is not a pose nor a parade. It
