of the neglect. she knows it, and she
should respect herself enough TO

BIG THINGS IN LIFE.

Last evening we CHANGED to be near a town lot ball
held where a team of coming American leaders, aged
about IA. was busily preparing to defeat a team com.
posed of similarly aged players in a nearby town this
afternoon.
Enthusiasm was the keynote Of the hour. There
wasn't a lad that arrived within hailing distance that
wasn't Immediately Intercepted as TO whether or not he
had been able TO raise the carfare necessary 10 make
the trip and would be among those present.
And the boys were bent on winning. too. They ex-
pected to came back with the bacon.
II was one of the big moments in life for these lads.
It was really good to hear such genuine enthusiasm for
anything, and that old school-day question came back to
mind: Make me q boy again just for tonight"
These lads who are realizing their plans of making
these little baseball excursions, and other boy plans, are
at one of the high points in their lives. There is moth
ing that ever duplicates the joys of boyhood. They'll
ever be the days that Will be most readily recalled.
So, when you see enthusiasm for lads for a venture
Ike that which we stumbled onto last night, lend it en-
couragement. Don't be a crouch and spoil boylsh en-,
thusiasm. Those lads were happier last night than il
they were millionaires, even though the carfare they had
raised only totaled "a cents each way. It's a real tonic
for doubling humans to come in contact with genuine,
eubbling. boyish enthusiasm once more.

A LEAGUE OF NATIONS FOR WAR

They tell US, do some OF these League OF Nation idola-
tors. that manufacturers and bankers are for the League.
We showed last week where all the manufacturers were
not for It. Here is a New York banker. J. s. Backe, who
calls the Wilson pact a League Of Nations for War He
says:
War is rarely made by the people. In the case OF
democratic governments, it may be declared by represen-
tatives of the people, as IN the case Of the American con.
gress. or House of Commons in England; under auto.
cratic governments. which, thank God. are rapidly disap.
pearing. IT may be declared by a coterfe, as in the recent
great war brought on by Germany; but, at all events, a
declaration OF war Is made by individuals, and 1t seems
to me that If the great statement assembled in Paris had
really meant TO make war in the future impossible. the
nrst clause OF the League of Nations covenant, as drawn
up by them. would read about as follows:
IAN war except in the defensive. IS Illegal, and an
International code shall be drawn up in every way quala
tying what defensive war means
The punishment for violation Of this first clause of
the treaty should mean death to those making said de-
claration or atfxing their signatures thereto. and after
that Clause 1t seems to me that any further clauses
would be almost needless. except those defining the
methods OF trial Of the criminals.
This would be a real League of Nations for Peace;
instead OF that, we have a document, which, while no
doubt meritorious in many respects, is nothing but a
League OF Nations for War. And I have heard Mr.. Fred
Coudert, the eloquent and eminent defender of the pro
posed League, state in Carnegie Hall that this was no
League Of Nations for Peace, but a League OF Nations for
Peace through war
"As for me, the crushing results of the recent war
do not make the League OF Nations for Peace through
war sound very attractive.
IF such a clause had been inserted. the trial of the
criminals would be a routine matter. and the result in
evitable. The present contemplated trial Of the parties.
who. under the present international code, are not Grim
inals, in my opinion. although l make no pretense of be
ing a lawyer. I believe will result in a farce, which will
only bring ridicule to the Allies. and add to the insolence
of the German junkers, and give them a renewed standing
in their own country, which, it seems to me, might have
been avoided"

THE LUSITANIA.

II has finally been decreed in the admiralty branch
of the United States district court that the Cunard
Steamship Company lis absolved OF all liability for the
sinking OF the Lusitania, ~torpedoed by a German sub
marine on May Z, 1915"
This exempts the company from 81 damage claims
representing between $4,000, 900 and 5000. 900. The de.
cree recites that the sinking OF the steamship Lusi
tania on May z. 1915. and the consequent loss of life
and property were caused solely by the illegal act of the
German imperial government acting through its instru-
ment, the submarine commander. and that the petitioner
is not liable 10 any extent for any loss, damage or in;
jury"
That decree. it is related. is in accordance with law
and justice. The crime was the Illegal act OF the i'm:
perial German empire. That being the case. why can
not the heads Of the former German government, directly
responsible, be punished?
Punishment of those guilty of the dastardly crime
would not bring back the dead victims of German Grim
iaality, but it would serve as a precedent and a warning
for the future.

THE TIGER

Il is vellnigh impossible for people outside Of
France 10 understand why there should be any serious
opposition in that so recently rescued nation to her chief
savior. For that Tiger Clemenceau undoubtedly is.
When hesitating premiers who faltered before "defeat-
ism" were exposing the Republic in their care TO Anal de-
struction the French nation turned as one man to the
one leader who could save them. They called Clemen-
ceau from his critics seat and demanded that he turn his
yitriolic powers against the Hun-and against the coward
or traitor Frenchmen who were doing the Huns work
behind the French lines.
CIemenceau came. "veni, vidi. vici." He struck two
listed at the enemies of France. one fist for the Germans
and the other for the Bolo Pashas and the Caillaux who
were stabbing her in the back. He saved France If ever
a statesman saved a nation. And now that peace has
come and Clemeneeau has guided his nation most sue
cessfully through the difficult and trying times of treaty
making, enemies rise against him in the Chamber; and
his fate, in spite of his preliminary success, is still in
doubt.
Why? In the first place. gratitude plays about as
large a part in politics as elsewhere. No nation chooses
it's rulers for what they have done. but for what they will
do. And intensely democratic. industrial working France
is by no means certain that it likes the sort of civil gov
eminent which Clemenceau represents. Clemenceau was
not a very popular office holder in the pacific days be-
fore the war. He was a far better slayer than leader of
cabinets. A Tiger may be a fine enemy TO let loose on
ones enemies but less attractive as a domestic pet.
The Socialists are irreconcilably opposed TO Clemen-
ceau because of his drastic measures toward them when
in Office. His tiger springs have made a lot of enemies
through the years, and peace has once again released
their enmity. Then he is an old man. That counts minus
in politics so largely personal as the French. Rising
young politicians will not rally heartily and steadfastly
to a sinking sun, be it ever so brilliant. The allied
world, outside OF France, would today elect Clemenceau
unanimously to the highest position-in France. But it
is not so certain that it would keep him in high office at
home.
