The New Crisis

Not since the war began, not excepting
the anxious days of the first August and
the last March, has news Of more serious
import come from Europe than was
cabled yesterday. The lid is off. The in
formal censorship, established and main
tanned doubtless with good motives, has
collapsed. No longer is it regarded
worth while to irritate, but not to de-
ceive, the American people by descrip-
tions Of the inspiring victories" being
won by the American delegation.
1t is time for intelligent Americans to
open their eyes to the facts of the situa-
ton. Rosy romancing is inopportune.
And what are the facts? Nothing other
than that there is grave danger Of losing
at the peace table the victory for civii-
zation won on the battlefield by infinite
sacrifice. An unregenerate and unre-
pentant Germany waits and watches,
schemng for settlement that will re-
vive the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and turn
Russia and the discovered Hapsburg
lands into areas for German economic
and political exploitation.
Practically everything that has hap
pened since the signing Of the armstice
has been to Germany's advantage. Delay
has benefited her. Disharmony has ben
Gifted her. The Interpretation given to
the vague Fourteen Points has benefited
her. The antiquities of the agitation
for league of peace have benefited her.
Whenever anything calculated to put
Germany under real bonds TO keep the
peace has been proposed it has been
vetoed as born of spirit Of revenge and
appear that the Allies, not Germany, are
in the dock.
To burrow out responsibility for this
lamentable condition is profitess. The
sorry business began when it suited the
partisan or personal interest of political
elements in this country to play up the
dissemblances rather than the parallel
isms of the peace terms Of the Allies as
of January, 1917, and the Fourteen
s. Points of year later. Germany quickly
saw the opening to make it appear that
she had accepted the American propo-
sails and repudiated the Ally proposals.
Inis was to f1atter America and irritate
/ others. The maneuvre, as all now can
Il see, has had large success
1t IS necessary to make a new start.
and this time a right start The disease
being discord, the remedy is in stopping
all bluffing, wavering and backfire
building. Nothing can be achieved un
less there is basis Of mutual confidence.
Most unwisc and ungencrous has been
the aspersion Of the motives of our asso-
ciates, such as has recently occurred in
this country, and the consequences are
exactly what were to be expected.
With high resolve to offend no more
against the great community of interest,
common sense will dictate programme
which has az its first item an effective
claiming Of Germany and her possible
allies, and have as it's second item a rec
ognition Of the fact that Germany must
: necessarily be treated in an exceptional
way.
The crisis forbids all partsanship or
thought Of it. It is Of no consequence
who gcts credit or who gets discredit
What Americans demahd and expect is

that elusive target of the average editor
If he is the kind of reader who, after the

know that he was of varied degrees of

Reviewing Mr.. Archie Austin Coates's
"Clty Tides,' the worshipped Dial observes
that "the poorer side is probably due to
the fact that one influence other than in
spiration and Masters played a part =
shaping these creations: a newspaper
column That sophisticated brother of the
Poets Corner does much, perhaps, to
arouse the interest of the average reader in
things literary; but there is, too, ten
dency to 'smartncss' which is amusing on
the way downtown, but falls fiat, for some
reason, between the covers of a book"

JIMMIE" TODD WRITES
OF SOJOURN OVERSEAS
In Interesting Letter Former EN-
plOye of Mr.. George w. Meekins
Tells Something of His Experien-
ceS in The War.

Wirges, Germany, Dec. 20, 1918.
Dear Mr.. MeekIls:
Am writing you a few lines today
to let you know | ain still alive and
we'll. Hope this will find you and
your family all well and business
good. Since l wrote you last there
has been quite a change in the war.
The last letter l wrote. you was writ
ten in the trenches, just north of
Verdun, in the Argoune Forest, and
believe me, that battle of the Ar
goune was some fight I had quite a
few souvenirs to carry home, and
also had a French knife for you, but
the fighting got so hot that 1 had to
leave my pack, and when l came
it was gone. After that the war did
not last long enough for ME TO get
any more, so I guess I an out of
luck to get any more real war souye-
Mrs.
AS you can see by the heading of
this letter, 1 am in Germany, about
Is miles east of the Rhine. When
the armistice wa ssigned, we were at
the front, fighting that morning, and
then we got orders to march into
German territory. From where we
started, to here, is about $50 miles,
and believe me, that was some hike.
Don't hardly know whether there is
anything over here in the way OF
souvenirs you would care for or not.
Write and let me know, and I will
send it to you. By the way, 1 will
send you a piece of German money,
one mark; before the war it was
worth about 25 cents; now l don't
think it is worth but 4 cents, and it
can only be exchanged and used in
Germany You can get German mo-
ney for any other money, but it is
hard to get other money for German
money.
l have not much time to write now,
as l am on guard, and it is time for
me to go on duty. By the way, this
is O'Clock in the morning. Will
write you later and give you some
description of the country and peo-
! pie. Will close now, wishing you and
your family a merry Christmas and
happy New Year Hope to hear
| from you soon. Yours truly,

BAKER STILL UNDECIDED
John Franklin Says He Hasn't Sign
ed With Upland Club-Denies He
Has Even Promised.

Anyone who figured John Frank
lin Baker had jumped before he look
ed was very much mistaken. The
Trappe farmer denied most emphatl-
cally last evening that he had signed
with the Upland Club, of the Della
ware County League. He also stated
with considerable yehemence that ne
had not mad cup his mind what he
would do next season, so the big
question for Manager Miller Higgins
is still OPEN Baker declares he Will
not decide what he will do next sum-
mer for some time, but that once he
gives his word he will stick to it.
Everyone who knows the Home
Run King is we'll aware that he Will
keep his word, despite the fact that
it usually takes Paker a long Whlle
to speak. Eut he made one point
very clear last evening-he will not
be able to go to a training camp II
he decided to play baseball.
ct is not true that 1 have signed
with Upland said John Franklin
over the telephone. Il have not CIV
en- that club my word that | Will
sign. l have heard from Upland,but
that is all. l will not make up my
mind for quite while, but once l do
I'll stick
1t often has been said that Baker
loves money, but it is known that ne
also loves his home. Trips over the
circuit become tiresome and many
| men do not like to be separated from
their families so long. If Baker new
! er plays another game he will not
| meet the wolf At his door during his
| lifetime. as he has saved his money
/ and invested it wisely, mostly IN real
estate, the sort of real estate that is
4 productive-farms.
/ A smaller salary and shorter trip
home may appeal strongly to Baker,
and, if so, he may jump to the Up
land Club, but he still retains a deep
interest in the major leagues, and

give up. After all, Baker is not mo-
ney-mad; he's just a human being
who understands the value of money
but who realizes there are many otn-
err attractive things in the V orld. HIS
loss would be a serious blow to the
Yankees, because he batted well last
season and displayed no evidence OF
going back in that particular depart
ment of the game.
The Yanks need batting strength,
for they now have formidable stan
of pitchers. Duffy Lewis, Frank Ba-
ker and Wally Pipp should make
| grand old wrecking crew for any
team.

MRS. WIN. N. ANDREWS
Prominent And Greatly Beloved Cam
bridge Woman Dies After Illness
OF About a Week-Wife of Con-
greSsman-Elect Andrews.

Mrs Bessie w. Andrews, wife OF
Congressman-Elect William N. An
drews, died at their home on Belve-
| dere avenue yesterday afternoon,
shortly after three o'clock, after hav
! ing been i'll for one week, with dou-
| BILE pneum onia, accompanied by val
vular heart disease.
The first indications of illness were
apparent Monday, January 18th, but
with the courage and determination
of the brave woman that she was,she
refused to relinquish the task OF
caring for her children, who were i'll
with influenza. until Wednesday,
when she was compelled to do SO.
Double pneumonia developed imme-
diately, and the strain under which
she had been worked against her.
Mrs. Andrews was one of the most
prominent women in Cambridge.
Endowed with an unusually bright
mind, which had been carefully de-
veloped through study and judicious
reading. she possessed the ability OF
quickly analyzing any situation that
might arise; she was a ready and
fluent talker, and possessed qualities
of leadership that caused her to rise
quickly to the head of any organiza-
ton of which she might be a mem
Der. She had been president of the
Woman's Club of Cambridge for
three years; she was chairman of
the Woman's Branch of the National
Council of Defense for Dorchester
county; was member of the Execu-
tive Board of the Dorchester County
Branch of the American Red Cross,
and was active in all work pertaining
to the bettermant of conditions or
the relief of suffering and distress.
She possessed acknowledged abili-
ty as an eiocutionist, and was fire.
quently called upon to help in the
various entertainments that were Civ
en- in the community. She was a
kind, thoughtful and considerate
neighbor and friend, devoted wife
and mother, and her home was one
of the happiest that could be found
anywhere. While deeply apprecia-
tive of the responsibilities that de-
volved upon her as a citizen, and an
xious to do all that she could, which
resulted in numerous demands upon
her time and talents, she was, above
everything else, a devoted mother,
her children were her first considera-
ton, and she priced their company
above that of ali others.
Mrs. Andrews was the only dau-
ghter of DeZozier and Annie Wal
worth, and was born in Baltimore,
January Is, 1882. Her grandfather
and father were publishers and prin-
tiers, and, no doubt, the association
with their affairs helped greatly to
develop her mind into the course Of
regular and orderly thought, for
which she was distinguished.
She is survived by her husband
and four small children, William ~,
Jr., the oldest, being eleven years
old; Virginia Whittier, six; Eliza
beth, five, and Walworth, three. Be
sides her parents, she is also surviV-
ed by one brother, Reginald Wal
worth, who resides near Chesapeake
City.
The funeral services, which will be
private, on account of the ban on
public funerals, will be held from her
late home, No. 304 Belvedere ave-
nue., Thursday afternoon, at one
o'clock. Interment will be in Wash
ington cemetery, Hurlock.
