Judgment for the Guilty,

Announcement comes from Paris that
the commission on responsibility for
the war has decided first to condemn
solemnly the violation of neutrality
and all the crimes committed by the
central empires, and, second, to appoint
an international tribunal to Judge all
those responsible, including the former
German emperor.
This is highly gratifying to those
who have for one reason or another
feared that in the desire to effect a
working peace arrangement these ques-
tions of criminality would be permit
ted to pass into the realm of historical
discussion. Some thought to that same
effect seems to have prevailed in Ger.

tial to just peace Germany's entire
war program was based upon that Of
fense. It was contemplated as one of
the distinct features of the campaign,
as definitely necessary as the provision
of ammunition. If Belgium yielded,
she would not be harmed. If she re-
sisted she would be crushed. Provision
was made for both contingencies. Re-
gardless of Beigium's attitude Ger
many's very plan of the war involved
a crime against humanity. There can
be no condonement now, even in the
face of Germany's revolutionary con-
dition and possible refusal to accept
the terms of peace.
Punishment for the guilty may be
difficult to administer. and it is to
be foreseen that the procedure of a
high court of justice to try those ac-
cused of crima9fn the prosecution of
the war will be attended with many
novel questions of jurisdiction and

The Danzig Issue.
PAYABLE IN ADYANC,

Matters are beng brought to a point
regarding the occupation of DanZig
by Polish troops. to which Germany
has strongly objected. Marshal Foch
is al Spa and Il German delegate has
been invited to attend him there to
learn thc particulars OF the guarantees
required by the allies in order to as
sure the use of the Baltic port by the
Poles pending the final settlement of
peace terms. There is something in
the nature of an ultimatum in the ar
rangement. Matthias Erzcberger, who
has already fghred prominently in the
armistice settlements. has, it is re-
ported, been designated by Germany
for this mission.
There can be no compromising with
Germany safely in the matter of Dan
zig. There may be some compromis-
ing with Poland, as it is intimated
In Paris that neutral state may be
organized at the mouth of the Vistula,
but even this suggestion is unofficial
and not strengthened by any preceding
Indications of the trend of the official
discussions of the matter. To permit
Danzig to remain German, closing eff
fectually the mouth of the Vistula to
the Poles, save upon such terms as
Germany may dictate, would be to
deny the new, or rather the revived,
state the outlet that has from the out
set been one of the primary considera-
tions of the Polish settlement.
Germany's refusal to permit Polish
forces to occupy Danzig has been a
defiance of the entente that apparent
ly is to be promptly met with peremp-
tory requirements. The test of Ger
many's realization that the war was
won by the allies might as well come
upon this question as upon any other.
If there prevails at Berlin any illu-
sion on the subject of the capacity of
the German state to resist the final
terms there should be no hesitation
about developing it quickly.
Poland must be given access to the
sea or one of the fundamental prin-
eiples of the peace settlement is ig-
nored and trouble is certain to arise
in the future. That proposition was
among the fourteen points upon which
the German submission to armistice
terms was based German resistance
now is an act of bad faith, which should,
and doubtless will be, definitely met
with distinct requirement, backed, if
necessary, by force.

The Noisy Radical MINORITY

Northern Ohio is in a ferment of
radicalism. At Cleveland a former
socialist candidate for mayor, address
ing socialist meeting, declared: "No
more reforms i'll the present economic
and political system will be supported; !;
our whole plan is revolution" At that
meeting resolution was adopted
which, in effect, bespoke an alliance
with the bolsheviki of Russia and the
Sparticides of Germany. Endorsement
was given to call for an internation-
al convention, including representa-
tives of both of those organizations
At Toledo an announcement that
Eugene V. Debs, under conviction of
violating the espionage act and SEN
fenced to serve prison term, would
address meeting attracted a large
crowd. The mayor had forbidden
Debs' appearance. He, being i'll in
Cleveland, did not attempt to defy the
injunction, but a substitute speaker
sought to address the crowd, that had
been excluded from the hall, and was
arrested. A riot followed and an i'm
promptu parade was organized, the po-
lice finally restoring order after max
ing many arrests.
Five or six thousand people can make
noisy demonstration in any city,
large or small. They may not be rep
resentative of public sentiment. They
are more likely to be very small
minority of the populace. But they
can create a serious disturbance and
give the impression Of great pulse of
feeling III the community. Law-abid-
ing and conservative people do not
join in such demonstrations. Their
feelings are not manifested. They
deplore the outbreaks and trust to the
police to preserve order.
One hundred thousand persons, or
less than l per cent of the total popu-
lation, scattered in groups throughout
the United States, can make enough
noise and disturbance to indicate that
the whole country is afame with revo-
luton. Yet it is we'll assured that
this is not the case. Still, it is desir-
able, necessary, to check the seditious
spirit that is manifesting itself. A
militant minority can work an i'm
mense mischief if unhampered by the
Law.
The Cleveland speaker who declared
that revolution is his aim and that Of
his associates should have been prompt
ly taken in hand. There is no denial
Of free speech in refusing to permit
revolutionists to proclaim their propa-
ganda of political destruction. Mayor
Hansen Of Seattle grappled patriotical-
ly and eourageously with sedition in
his city and brought order out of
chaotic conditions. Mayor Schreiber
Of Toledo proved to be equal to the
emergency. If all the mayors Of the
American cities manifest this same
spirit the radical minority will not be
able to create the illusion which they
now seek--of a country wide demand
for bolshevism in America

recognizes that the war has changed
many things, including the status of
