When we. went forth to war it was our Isolemnly expressed purpose to fight for Freedom For All, Forever. We, together with the people < of France, Great Britain, ,.i Canada, Italy and other allied nations, fought to make the world safe for democracy; {; to make of it possible and fit place in which to live, work and rear fam lilies.
 And Freedom for All was won over there on the battlefields. It was won over here in homes and shops, mills, mines, fields, gardens, shipyards. It was won by courageous millions and able leaders. But while the victory of blood and bayonet, or serving and sacvrifice, gave freedom to all it could not of itself breathe life ever lasting into that freedom. This re- mained for the leaders of the na- tions gathered around the peace table in Paris It remained for them to write the world, forever" after the freedom won by the warrior.
 It was to this task that Clemenceau and George and Wilson set them selves. It was upon their shoulders as peace leaders of the three greatest nations whose soldiers fought and

senators who are not members of the foreign relations committee, and if there are two reports each of the con flicting sections of the committee will have to defend its own. This will mean more argument, more speeches and more delay On the floor of the senate, as in the committee, any sen ator may cffer amendments, and un- doubtedly several of them will try to have their pet schemes incorporated in the treaty.
 The constitution provides that two thirds of the senators present must vote for the treaty to ratify it. It is not necessary. therefore. that a two thirds vote of the entire membership be cast in it's favor, nor is it neces- sary that every member of the sen ate be present If all the96 membere were present, 64 votes would ratify the treaty.
 When the treaty is ratified the sen ate will advise the president of it's action. just as it does in the case of any bill or resolution. President Will son will then issue a proclamation declaring the war at an end.
 If, however the senate should re fuse to ratify the treaty without amendments. then the amendments would have to be submitted to all the

 Feeling Is One of Relief
 Under the circumstances the gen. eral tone of sentiment in the historic sitting was one rather of relief at the uncontrovertible end of hostilities than of complete and unalloyed satis- faction.
 The ceremony came to a dramatic close-in fact it reached its highest dramatic pitch. with the wildly en- thusiastic rece ption of President Will son, M. Clemc1ceau and MT. Lloyd George by the crowds outside the pal ace, who ignored or lisregarded the minor discords of the day. They tore the three statesmen from tneIr escorts and almost carried them bod fly in their progress through the chateau grounds, to watch the play ing of the fountains-a part of the program which had heen planned as a dignified state professional of all the plenipotentiaries
 Ceremony Deliberately Austere The ceremony otheIwlSe had been planned deliberately to be au5tere, l befitting the sorrows and sufferings | of almost five years and the lack or | impressiveness and picturesque color | of which many spectators, who had expected a magnificent state pa ! geant, complained, was a matter Of design. not omission. The actual cere- | mony was far shorter than had been 1 expected, in view of the number of signatures which were to be append ed to the treaty and the two accom- panying conventions ending bare I 49 minutes after the hour for the opening. The proceedings were car ried out without surface incidents since the Germans were silent and the Chinese refusal to sign was evidenc- ed only by the vacant chairs. The sole words to be recorded in the pro tocol of the conference were M. Clem enceau's short opening allocution witf it's brief, stern warning to the Ger mans, and his equally terse phrases declaring the ceremony closed.
 Ancient Goose QuiIls Scratch
 The intervening three-quarters of al hour was marked by the scratching O. big goose quillC or modern steel pens which most of the delegates preferred and the steady procession of delega tion after delegation to the seats a the three tables within the enclos ures upon which the documents were placed for signature

laying their cards upon the table and keeping them there throughout the game. The people were taken into their confidence. Ing fact they sur prised the old world diplomats by "go- ing home to talk it over with the peo- pie" David Lloyd George did this. So did Wilson. Clemenceau has new CT strayed far from the French peo- pie.
 It was only natural, we have come to think, that an American schoolmas- ter, the adopted son of Welsh cob bler.Ff and a French school-teacher- doctor, should keep in mind that they were sons of common people as well as leaders chosen by the common peo- pie.
 The peace treaty, coming largely from the brains and hearts of these three men, may not be the treaty ev- cry human being likes best. There may be some portions of the pact some of us do not approve of. But of this the world is certain:
 These three leaders of men have tried their best to write into the peace of Paris the great American wartime slogan:
 Freedom, for all, forever."

 have made a close study of the subject from historical and other sources. Unless the senate kicks over all precedents and exercises its own sweet will, here is about the way the biggest job before the new congress will be disposed of:
 President Wilson upon his return home from Europe, probably will de liver in person at. the capitol a spe- cial official copy of the treaty Un- til he submits it officially it cannot be considered except informally in the speeches of the members.
 The president probably will make an address to the senate to request the ratification of the treaty and ex- plain some of it's features, particular ly the League of Nations covenant.
 Then Senator Henry Cabot Lodge who will be chairman of the commit tee on foreign relations. will move that the treaty be referred to his committed The senate will agree to the motion without discussion.
 Then will be gin the big task oi studying the treaty in the committee Whether the conferences of the com mittee will be open to the public i' a question for the committee to de eide, but the chances are the hear ings will be open.
 Advice of Experts Will Be Asked
 Experts on international law vii be called in to give their opinions O. phases of the treaty which may seen questionable. Members of the Amer ican peace delegation at Paris, also will be called in to interpret some O. the phrases.

 Wilson Ahead of "Tiger"
 When they regained their seats af- ter signing. President Wilson imme- diately arose, and followed by the oth- CT American plenipotentiaries, moved around the two sides of the great horseshoe to the signature table. President Wilson, and not M. Clemeo- ceau. thus had the honor of signing first of all the leaders of the worId alliance. but the honor was due to the alphabet, not other considera- tions, in which the signatures occur ia the same French alphabetical O. der as the enumeration of the allied and associated powers. in the pro logue of the treaty-the same order which determined the seating of the delegations at the plenary sessions of the inter-allied conference.
 The five great powers there under are grouped separately. the smaller states following again in alphabetical order.
 Classic Meeting Almost 5rawl
 But, if the formal proceedings moved with system and complete ad- herence to program, the same cannot ! be said for the other arrangements, which detracted most markedly from the impressiveness of the epochal event. So many spectators nae, in i one manner or another gained access to the hall that the struggle for points of vantage at times approached the stage of a brawl, and the few officials entrusted with keeping order had the greatest difficulty in securing even a ! semblance of order.
 "Down In Front" To Dignitaries
 Cries of down in front" which probably never before were heard at a gathering of similar importance were addressed quite as often to the officials of the conference as to the unofficial spectators. The stage for the ceremony was quite as crowded as the spectators enclosures, giving 6 picture of crush and confusion and the plenipotentiaries and attaches, inteac of arriving in delegations, formally introduced by ushers, as had been planned, drifted in individually as at the earlier sessions.

ENCOURAGING NEWS.

Mr. Hoover has announced that the end OF his
great task of feeding Europe is in sight. The last
of the food ships of the Relief Administration
will have sailed by July l, and by the end of Aug
ust normal conditions of food production in Eu
rope will be restored sufficiently for the nations
there to take care Of themselves by means
of what they produce together with what
they can purchase in the markets of the
world. BY the date mentioned the United
States will have shipped to Europe more
than thirty million tons of food worth about two
and half billion dollars. For part of this vast
amount cash has been received, for some of it
promises to pay. and for of it nothing will
be received, although the government will pay
the producers and shippers out of its own treas

handing, as Major-General Alexander has
explained. The famous batal4.n uld not wander
away and get lost in the Argoni-e &c est; it
y held on obeying orders to tie letter, and thus
became isolated, because a supporting brigade
seemingly failed to do the like, or, as General AL
exander mildly puts it, "was not placed where it
could accomplish the end desired" Every effort
was made to reach the so-caled lost battalion,
when cut off from support in region OF the ut
most danger, but for five days it remained isolat-
ed. General Alexander confident that Major
Whittlesey would neither surrender nor retreat,
but the French gave up hope and finally even di-
rected artillery fire at the terrain occupied by the
gallant Americans. Eventually relief came, the
Germans being forced back all sides. The
lost" battalion was found still determnedly hold
ing it's ground, although it had subsisted for SIX
days on two days rations.
It is true, however, that when the Germans
demanded his surrender Major Whlttlesey sent
them word to ''go to hell'-a thrilling defiance
that take rank with Paul Jones 1--WE just begun
