since the election of last November, has
been displayed without disguise The Re-
publican leaders accused Mr.. Wilson Of
breaking the party truce By his election
appeal. That appeal lacked the distinctive
Wlsonian note, and it was certainly less
skllful as a tactical move than. say Mr.,
Lloyd Georges first campaign speech to
the Liberal opposition. But most dispas-
sionate outsiders would probably saw that
the President had been practically driven.
by the fury of mis- Republican opponents or
the eve of the armistice to remind the
electorate that he was the head of a
Democratic administration and was in need
of definite support. All chief magistrates
must brace themselves to meet this kind of
fury, more especially if they have enjoved
the honor of rcelectionxas every second
term President since George Washington
has been made to understand If at the
moment Mr.. Wilson's measure of chastise-
ment seems TO some people exceptional. they
may be assured that their impression is
mistaken. Washington and Lincoln knew
more bitterness of this kind than Mr..
Wilson is ever likely 10 know What makes
the present attack so peculiarly disturbing
is, of course, the extreme gravity of the
world situation

In all these declarations there is for the
European peoples at least. one point of the
greatest interest. and it is point of un-
mlstakable contradiction. We put aside
naturally, the Republican criticism of Mr.
Wilson'S personal attitude and method. as

Vinced that the rightful place of the United
States was in the war. That is to say, they

Sir: Years ago Pokagon, pottawat.

interpreting Our West

For them, as one of thor number put ita
short time ago, the covenant Of the le,,yno
means the maintenance of internation.l
mercenaries for the carrying on of wars in
which the American people have no imacins-
bic interest; while in relation to the on),
group of international problems to which
their newspapers have given any larpe
amount of attention, it means the surrender
of the Monroe Doctrine. The plain American
states that doctrine to himself in Just onc
way: If the United States is drawn into tho
national and international affairs Of EuroOs
there will be nothing to prevent European
powers, single-handed or in concert. from
meddling in the affairs of the Latin-Amer.
lean countries. And to the average Amer.
lean, if there IS any one thing clear in the
region of international politics, it is ths.
any such interference would be ntolerablo

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Please allow me to make suseeS'
ton regarding the disposition of the "s''
man ships. I would have cement founo''
tion laid under water sufficiently strong "
partially support the ships, when par'a"!
sunk These foundations would be laia ~
points where a fort would be desirable
The ships would then be allowed TO ss''''
to their resting places, and from that ''"'
on they would be only forts. This Is :

Legitimate labor feels that the Minute
Men have been so used. They even claimed
that the organization was using the agent

an official of the Minute Men told me, in the

Europe 5 Wilson
He Is Neither the One America Knows
Nor the One the Old World Expected
(From The NeaC Statesman

XX7HEN, in the middle of December,
w Mr.. Wilson sailed from New York,
it would have been hard to find
single citizen of the United States prepared
for the adventure as it has since developed.
The President was TO make a brict visit TO
Europe; it was doubtful whether he would
be able to remain beyond the formal open
ing of the Peace Conference; in any case,
his absence from the White House would
of necessity be confined within the mar
rowest limits. Such was the general opin-
ion in America But Mr.. Wilson has been
away for more than two months, and he
lands at Boston, as these lines appear in
print, apparently with the intention of max
ing stay in his own country to be rcckoned
by days rather than weeks before returning
to Paris. The Briton unacquainted with
Transatlantic tradition cannot fully com
prehend the average Americans feeling as
he watches that traditions overthrow, for
it is the simple truth that party in our
conservative England would or could seek
to invest political practice with the sane
tty. attaching to it in the United States.
But Mr. Wilson has created many prece-
dents, for the most part with success And
it is conceivable that in this most audacious
of all-thc declaration that the President
Of the oldest of the great republics should
not be prisoner in its capital he may
be supported by the ma jorty of his fellow
citizens and justified by posterity None
the less, however, must the enterprise be
considered risky. Mr.. Wilson, for instance,
may discover that the lengthening of dp lis
stay was mistake that much of what had
been gained through the wonderful fervor
of the welcome given to him by the European
peoples has since been lost by the course
Of events in Paris. But whether this is so
not as regards the mass of the American
public, we cannot at present tell What
do know is that he has to meet the
opposition Of certain sections and leaders
whose hostility has taken very decided
forms. 1t may be we'll to state as clearly
possible what these are.

Extraordinary Part Played by Volunteer

By Kenneth Macgowan

CN EATTLE, March 12.-Vioence has been

violence pretty evenly distributed between
labor and the police. Seattle's record is
superfcialy a little better. 1t got through
the strike-through both strikes, the ship
yard and the general strike-wthout
single piece of violence Law and order
says that was because the strikers
cowed by show of force. Labor says
it was because labor didn't want violence
didn't have to have violence. Labor says
that 800 regular and special police, 1,500
soldiers, machine guns armed trucks and
scurrying ambulances did everything posi-
Bile to arouse antagonism and resistance, but
that it held its men back successfully with
its 250 unarmed "abor policemen" Labor
believes that all the violence of the strike

1t happens that the Seattle government
