Paris, May 15.-CBy Telegraph
From New York World, Copy
rightcd. )-Unexpected complications
have arisen in connection with Bel
gian claims that the river Scheldt be
made a free waterway. giving Bel
gian access TO the sea from Antwerp
without passing, as now, through
Dutch waters.
II is said that stategic objections in
making the. Soheldt free find favor
in Influential British quarters, IL not
the British admiralty itself. With

Z: esent, in any war which Holland

the river were free for Belgian access
to the sea.
The Beigians complain that this
view takes into account only mea-
sures to mitigate the consequences Of
possible future invasion of Belgium,
while provision should be made
against the possibility of such invas-
ion, and that her national interests
are thus sacrificed on the alter of
naval strategy.
Belgium also claims that 1t is pos
sible for her to make arrangements
with Holland not only for the right
to use the Scheldt for military pur-
tory on the left bank OF the river.
Such an agreement, to be effective,
should be embodied in a convention
recognized by the other powers con-
cerned in the treaty of 1889, Great
Britain being one of those powers.
Belgian control of the Scheldt
would lead 10 greatly improved navi-
cation for Antwerp and other river
cities. The Dutch have not enough
commercial interest in the river to
induce them to spend enough money
to keep the channel in proper order.
The problem of the Scheldt while
unsettled promises an interesting
controversy
Takes Form. of Retort.
1t is understood that the Germans
fifth note to the conference, dis
patched yesterday, deals with the
matter of responsibilities for the war.
The note is said to be in line with
the speech of Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau and is in the form of a re-
tort. charging criminal responsible
ties on the allies side and asking for
the arraignment of the wrongdoers
and also for general investigation
of the archives of all the countries,
in order to fix responsibility for the
war.
"A sixth note, dealing with terrific
rial matters, will set up counter
project by which Germany will retain
sovereignty OF the Saar basin and
will engage to supply to the allies the
production from the mines for a Sc
ries of years.
In. the seventh note the Germans
will ask for oral instead of written
between experts on
questions, in order to save
time. 1t is also rumored that in re-
lation to the Saar Gerpany will pro-
pose that the quantity of coal sup
piled to France shall diminish on a
sliding scale, according to the prog
ress of restoration of the French
mines.

New-York tribune., 1919-12-09
What to Wear

1t is easy enough to decide what
to wear when the statistics and the
experts agree. But what to do when
DR.. Copeland says one thing and the
mortality statistics say anotheri
There is the rub, and we gladly
yield our conclusions touching the
vexed and cosmic problem raised.
Briefly, our advice is to wear ex-
actly what you wish to wear,
whether that happens to agree with
DR.. Copeland or the statistics. We
say this all the more readily because
Of the obvious fact that this is ex-
actly what women always have done
and always will do. But there are
some observations and a trace Of
science behind our dictum at that.
When DR.. Copeland spoke so trihing-
ly of nothing mattering, whether
highness of heels or tightness of
corsets, he neglected to define his
terms. What is high heel? And
when does lacing become tight? AS
a matter of fact, there has been
decided change of standards in the
past generation in the direction of
lower heels and freer waists. Per-
haps statistics and the theories of
reform had something to do with
this change. But we suspect not
much. The essential fact is that
women are doing new and different
things. They are walking more,
swimming more, playing more out
of door games. Dressing has
changed to fit the part.
When archery is the acme Of
muscular endeavor to which the
frail physique Of a woman can be
put naturally anything obstructive
and confining can be worn from a
hustle up or down. And when d
girl is expected to- play basketball
and swim as matter Of course and
hold her own in any other muscu-
lar occasion that comes along shoes
and frocks must take warning &C
cordingly. They have to very large
extent. Hobbies come and go. But
essential freedom of figure remains.
SO advising women to wear what
they wish to wear Involves the very
large factor that what they wish
to wear is very largely regulated by
what they wish to do. You cannot
play basketball or tennis or tramp
very fal in very high heels or very
tight corsets. Or, if you can, you
look a sight. Fashion is always
ready to insult common sense and
the pocketbook; but she cannot
afford to make her subjects too
ridiculous.

Our Kind of .Militarism"

The House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, in Chairman Kahn's
absence, has taken up an army re-
organization bill which omits all
provision for universal military
training. 1t is important to re-
organize the regular army. But if
this army is held down to strength
Of 100000, as it ought to be, it is
even more important to get under
way a system of universal training.
The longer the creation of a gen.
uine scheme of national defense is
postponed the harder it will be to
apply the principle of general lia-
bility to service. The lessons Of
the war are already fading in many
minds. The pacifsts Of 1916 and
1917 will soon be talking again of
universal training as q reversion to
"Prussianism."
The Army and Navy Journal
reports that a reference to "the
Prussian system" was made at
recent hearing in the House Com
nittee on Military Affairs. Any

Group Autocracy
Hon Radicals of To-day Differ
from American Patriots of the Past

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May l protest against the silly
letter in defense of radcalism as such
that appeared in your columns this
morning?
The writer referred to the founders
off the insupportabe yoke of England
If the writer Of that letter knows any
thing of history, he or she must be
aware that our Revolution" $50 called)
was fought to perpetuate the liberties of
Englishmen-ibertie which were estab-
lished long before the beginnings of our
colonies. The Declaration of Independ-
ence was little more than statement
Of those old and established rights, and
the war for independence would have
been quite unnecessary but that pig
headed German king and his advisers
were able to overrule the best thought
in Parliament.
Equally absurd is the characterization
Of the patriots of 1861 as radicals They
fought for the Union and the vindica-
tion of its sovereignty. Slavery was
side issue. Our present day Bolsheviki
are fighting for disruption in the name
of class hatred, and with the end in
view of establishing the worst type of
slavery, wherein our masters shall be
cruel and ignorant dictators established
by the soviet rule imported from bar
barous and ignorant Russia.
That man of straw, industrial Slav-
cry" now existent, will, indeed, be-
come hideous overpowering Franken-
stein If these fanatics have their way
and the free rule of the entire body of
the people is displaced by the autocracy
of violent little groups. Let each and
all of us fight continually for the per-
petuation of the free government handed
down to us by the founders of our coun-
try. H. S. M.
