Fears Resubmission
To German Assembly

''lf the Senate of the United
States passes resolution Of ratitica-
tion and says that it ratifies on con
ditions that so and so would
be understood, that will have to be
resubmitted to every signatory OF
the treaty. and what gravels me is
that it will have to be submitted 10
the German Assembly at Weimar.
And that goes against my digestion.
We cannot honorably put anything
in that treaty which Germany has
ratified without Germany's consent.
"There isn't any phrase in the
covenant of the league of nations
that can legitimately be said to be
of doubtful meaning, but if the Con-
gress of the United States wants to
state the meaning over again in
other words and say to the other ma
tions Of the world, we understand
the treaty to mean what is l think

If the school and college are

Church will help. Go there. The
ballot box claims you, every one.
Use it unfailingly and let no man
abuse it ever; for he is no less a
dangerous man who by fraud or
force robs a freeman of his vote
than is he who in q monarchy
denies the right of suffrage to
his subjects. Know your coun-
try, its constitution, its perils
and its needs. Know also the
"THING"-to quote President
Wilson's pregnant term for Ger
man Autocracy, for the death of
which you were getting ready to
do battle, or did battle, and count
any man an enemy who would
now tell you to forget or to con-
done it. Feed your enemy If he
hungers, but do not look SO light
ly on what he did that was
frightful and what he taught
that was devilish, that either he
or another may some day dare to
repeat the crime. Stand by the
President, not as an individual,
not as a partisan, but as the chief
executive of the nation, and the
man who more than any other
emb0dies in his idealism and his
utterances the fine, high cause
for which millions have died and
for which the rest of US were
ready to die.
Our unselfish nation, allied
with other unselfish nations, has
blessed all living and unborn gen
erations under all skies, and
thereby have we every one been
placed under obligations from
which we ought never to desire
to free ourselves-the duty to be
clean, true, brave, unselfsh ser

all mankind. A smaller pro-

SER" The Germans in front of
our lines in France threw up
their hands not merely because
they were outclassed in the
bloody game by the Yanks, but
also because they knew there
were plenty more such fighters
getting ready over here. All
honor to those who fought and
died and to those who were in
training to fight and, If need be,
TO die.
But only living men can fight
the greater, if less perilous, bat
ties Of peace, and we are alive.
Because you did not have to die,
YOU do have to live for the same
ideals Of patriotism, loyalty and
liberty, and against the same in
EQUITIES of tyranny, autocracy
and brutality for which you Of
fered to die.
It was the long months of
training of the army and navy
and the flyers that won the war.
Shall we not now get as good and
ready for civic life? Let us give

time and intensive preparation
TO the future bigger task of keep

by making American democracy
the worthy model of all mankind.
Worthy or unworthy, it is des-

The military authorities have
wisely decided to postpone the
rehabilitation of the few who
might be a physical menace to
society until they are well. Let
