A who's Loony Now2" Club
(From The Baltimo,c Synl

Ctrom The Baltimore Sun)
Mr.. Chaloner, who had to flee from New
York nearly score of years ago to insure
his personal liberty, has at last been given a.
clean mental bill of health by New York
Judge The demurrer to his suit by the New
York newspaper which he charged with libel
alleged that he was non compos ncntis, and
made his sanity an issue. This gave him the
opportunity to file with the court history of
his case, the grounds on which he had been
declared insane in New York, and the testi-
mony of psychological and medical experts
of other places in his favor
His own evidence shows him to be an ex-
tremely eccentric person, but the New York
court, like those in the South, declines to con-
slder ecccntricity proof of insanity. If it
had done so, what would have become of hum
dreds of learned psychologists, poets, editors,
statesmen and other persons of unusual in-
tellectual pattern? In Chaloner's triumph
they triumphed ALL The right of life, liberty
and eccentricity is now assured. man may
believe in ghosts, mediums, mascots and hoo
docs without fear of being shut up in an
asylum This is something to be thankful
for at period which is producing so many
mental suspects We hope Mr.. Chaloncr will
form national organization OF the who's
Loony Now Society" We believe it would bs
powerful in numbers, ii not in genius.

Obsequies Without Mourners

The ambitious scheme of Mr.. Peek, Of
the Industrial Board, to be benevolent
price autocrat has come to an early
smash. 1t has been kicked downstairs
by the combined boots Of Secretaries
Glass and Redfield, with Mr.. Hines, of
the railroad administration, handling
pitchfork
Mr.. Peek meant well-no man ever
meant better. He thought, with statis-
tician at his side, that he could "stabil-
lze" with justice to all, and that at his
soft command the tempests of compet-
ton would be still. Alas. it was not to
be. In time Of crisis it is possible tenn
porarily to bride differences of opinion
with respect to values, but when the
pressure is off the wild horses of eco
nomic law snort and deport themselves
according to their habit.
There is to be an open market for
steel. Mr.. Hines is to buy rails where
he can get them cheapest Perhaps the
sellers will ask more than he thinks
ought to be paid. THE steel men predict
rise, but if the figures given by Mr.
Hines of steel profits are correct it will
not last long. Not because the steel
men are not greedy, but because some
are so greedy as to grab for business.
The open market is best, not because
producers are unselfish, but because thew
are selfish.
Let us hope little more will be heard
of price stabilzation Trade freedom
pays steadier dividends to the public. If
the prices fixed are high, production is
so stimulated (witness a 100000 OOO
bushel winter wheat crop as to create
an unweldy surplus. If too low, there
is dearth Of goods needed. The stabil-
lzer is never able to hit the true level.
1t has been time when men have not
SO much dreamed dreams as dreamed
false ones. Government for, of and bv
professors is not as good as the old kind.
lhe obseques of price fixing are being
held, and few eyes are wet. Adjust
ments must be made as always thew are
made-not by freezing business, but bv
leaving 1t fluid. Supply and demand
may not be heavenly twins, but they are
team that pull the wagon.

Coming From Behind

There is dramatic truth in the fact
that our navy biplanes are only lust
arriving upon the transatlantic scene.
weeks and months behind their rivals
If our men do succeed in crossing first
it will be the clcarest and most famous
victory against terrific handicap that
America ever has won.
True, the first heavier than air ma
chine was designed and built by Lang
ley, on the Potomac. True, the Ameri-
can Wrights were the first to fly. Wit
ness their monument in France. But our
nation, as SO often in things military.
refused to assist its inventive geniuses.
and the development of the idea that
America created passed to other lands.
1t was part of our strange refusal to
prepare in any fashion that prevented
any real progress by our army and navv
f1iers in the first years Of the war. While
France and England and Germany were
embarking on the most thrilling ad-
venture of the war, the final CONQUEST
of the air, our country stood idle. When
we finally entered the war we could
only follow the path of others. Peace
came before our long delayed quantity
production could make itself felt.
This was the colossal handicap which
the army and the navy have faced, which
Commander Towers and his fellow avia-
tors to-day are at last close to overcom-
ing in the most conspicuous and daring
of jail air tests. The showing made in
the trip to Halifax was excellent.
1T is tense and exciting race. The
good wishes of every American are with
our modest and courageous crews. They
are worthy successors of our pioneers
OF the air, and in their name may VIC

Fe Howship With Lust
fFront The Toledo Blado)

The president of one of our more promi-
nent universities proposes that university
circles shall take back into the fold the
professors and educational leaders of Ger
many condition that they make clean
confession of their "amazing prostitution
of scholarship and science to national
lust"
That is softness of the consistency of
the thinnest mush.
The university professors, school leaders
and theologians of Germany were the very
ones who moulded the thought of the peo-
pie to lust and conquest. For more than
a generation they have not ceased the
diabolical teaching of the children and
youth of Germany that German kultur
must triumph over the world They kept
it up until the Germans were driven out
of the last trench.
To receive these men into the fellow
ship of American universities on condition
that they say eve sorry" is no less a
crime against civilization than to give
every cold blooded murderer his liberty on
signing the statement, II regret that I
did it,"
Let the years of development of univer-
sity spirit and teaching in Germany de-
termne whether Germany's educators shall
be restored to our fellowship. For the
present we should keep our American uni
versties entirely free from the presence,
influence and odium of the German "pro-
fcssor"

is an added precaution. But such a pre-
caution suggests skepticism. Prussia
recovered in few years after the dis
memberment of 1906. Her continued
military impotency will depend now on
the moral energy with which the Allied
nations enforce the peace terms. Ger
many may accept the peace, but she
will not forgive it. She will await the
appearance of other Hardenbergs and
other Bluchers. Keeping her in bonds
will require unrelenting purpose and
sleepless vigilance.

The Canucks and Austrlce- and the

The only things that bothered us, year

Was 'ow in ell the Yanks'd look, an wot
in ell they'd do.
They 'adn't 'ad no trynin'; they didn't
know the gime
They 'adn't never marched it much; their
shootin' was the sine;
An the only thing that bothered us that
day in lawst July
Was ow in ell the lined 'od if they
should run aw'y.
The leggy, nosy new 'uns, just come acrosst

We couldn't 'cp but wonder 'ow in ell

Was wot in ell would 'appen wen the 'Uns

My word, it 'appencd sudden wen the drive

But the only thing that bothered US that

Was 'ow in ell to stop 'em fore they got

They didn't ave no tactics but the bloody

They 'adn't learned no orders but "Ooray"
and "Givc em ELL"
But the only thing that bothered US about

Was 'ow in ell to get the chow to feed

Oh, the English and the Irish, and the

for the worst.
what remains of the completest and
most efficient military machine in
Europe? The German army is to be
hmlted IN strength to $4,000 men and
1000 oficers-about the strength of the
army Of the United States in 1915. The
general staff is abolished CONSERVATION
Is done away with. In order to prevent
a repetition of Hardenberg's shrewd
rotation tactics after 1906, enlisted men
must serve for twelve consecutive wears
ana officers must agree to serve for
twenty-five years. Germany is to revert
TO the type of standing army in vogue
before the reign of Frederick the Great.
A modern army is impotent without
artillery and munitions. Krupp's was
1he foundation stone of German mill
tarlsm But Krupp's is apparently to
be dlsmantled. Only a few munitions
plants are to remain omen and tho

tons to be retained or manufactured hv
Germany is prescribed in tables at

which enabled Krupp's to maintain it's

many's needs in a world war. GERMANY
may neither export nor import war ma
terlals, and is forbidden to manufacture
poison gases or submarines, or to use
alrplanes or seaplanes for military pur-
poses.
The naval terms are equally onerous.
Germany ceases to rank among tho
MAJOR naval powers. She will retain
SIX small battleships (none exceeding
10000 tons), six light cruisers, twelve
destroyers and twelve torpedo boats. with
a personnel of $4,000 men. No member

TO have any naval training, No battle
ship can be replaced within twenty
years, no destroyer within fifteen wears.
except such as are lost at sea.
The German fleet, in fact, becomes
negligible. Yet this is not a blow to
German military power at all compara
bic to the restriction put upon the land

any colonies and for years to come will
have limited merchant marine. She

Poland, Czecho-Sovaks and the South Slav'
federation are now becoming and are bound
to become a most important political ele-
ment in international life. And is it not
clear that the direction in which this new
element will tend will be determined al
most entirely by the direction in which
Russia will turn?
A disorganized Russia, dsmembered,
weakened by the continuation of the civil
war, abandoned by the Allies to her own
tate Is bound to come to such forms o.
state life and to such condition of eco
nomic breakdown that she would not be
able to help becoming prey to Germany.
Certainly no buffer states Ike Poland and
Czecho- -Slovakia can prevent this They
themselves, unless Russia is strong and un-
less the Allied influence is uppermost in
Russia, must eventually succumb to the
penetration of Germany, which will seek it
not perhaps SO much for it's own sake as for
the sake OF obtaining ways into Russia
The Russo.Cernan Danger
1t must be constantly borne in mind that
the league of nations, as contemplated to-
day, is constituted without Germany and
Russia. The draft of the constitution of
the league of nations, which is now before
the peace conference, in it's tentative classi-
flcatlon of the powers Of the world rele-
gates Germany and Russia to the ranks of
smaller powers. No one can tell when Ger
many and Russia will become members Of
the league of nations and will thereby come
to be affected by the league pledges. And
while they remain outside of the league is
there any power on earth that can preven;
Germany's penetration into Russia and
Germany's virtual domination there?
IT the league of nations is to become
living thing, it is imperative for the Allies
to render Russo German combination i'm
possible. For such a combination, outside
of the league, would constitute menace
that would prove fatal to the existence of
the league itself. There seems to be only
one way to prevent this, and that way is to
keep Russia on the side of the Entente and
not to abandon her to Germany.
From the point of view of international
affairs the struggle in Russia to-day is be-
tween those elements which have already
OiiNC consciously DSCIdySu huSSld 10 GeT-
many, and which, by their activities, have
reduced Russia to such a state that she
may become prey to Germany, and those
elements which were always loyal to the
Allies, which want the Allies to exert their
influence in Russia and thus save Russia
from Germany ana save her for the Allies
The choice of the Allies is clear They
must choose either the necessity of aiding
those Russian elements which can still save
Russia for democracy or such a policy as
would lead them to abandon these clements
losing Russia to Germany, and with her
losing the peace. Every consideration of
craftsmanship must eventually
lead the Allies to envisage these funda-
mental facts in the most serious of the in
ternational situations which the world is
facing to-day Once these fundamentals
are recognized, the line of action which
such recognition would dictate would follow

X ERMANY has lost much, but one thing
i she has not lost. She still has that
same spirit of economic aggression
which had characterized all her interna-
tional efforts during decade and a half
preceding the During that short
period of time, by placing everything at the
disposal of economic aggression, making
politics, science and even national spirit
subservient to economic aggression, Ger
many had forged ahead at marvellous
speed and with remarkable force. She still
has the same spirit to day.
The change in Germanys government GER
tainly does not affect this most important
factor in her life. If anything it strength
ems it. The same men who were RESPONSE.
BILE for these policies under the imperial
regime still remain in places where they
can win even greater power in this respect
Germany still exists as factor of economic
aggression, perhaps rendered even more
dangerous in this respect by the necessity
Of the burden which the war has imposed
upon her.
Cut off from the sea by the loss of her
commercial navy, disappointed in her dreams
of expansion toward the East through Con-
stantinople and Asia Minor, Germany must
of necessity turn her attention to the only
remaining possibility of her economic
strength-to Russia.
If Germany acquires Russia economically
her own economic future is secured. She
VIII know how to organize, to exploit, the
vast treasures of natural resources, and
the source of unlimited man power which is
known historically as Russia. In order to
do this it is necessary for her either to
keep Russia broken up into small parts or
else to push her back to reactionary and
monarchistic state order. Either of these
arrangements would render Russia so weak
that she would necessarily have to depend
upon Germany and would be an open field
for German penetration
Enter The Si0uS
Every act Of the Allied countries which
brings the situation in Russia nearer to
either of these possibilities is, indeed
holiday for Germany Every indecision.
every delay, every Allied blunder with re-
spect to Russia, is boon for Germany for
it brings Germany nearer to the goal which
she has sought in Russia so insstently and
which she is still seeking to-day
The Russian problem is not problem Of
Bolshevism alone. Bolshevism is merely a
manifestation of one of the phases of what
is taking place in Russia-a manifestation,
unfortunately, so spectacular that it over
shadows and overcrowds everything else.
The question of military assistance to those

after all, matter of great Importance to-
day, but of small Importance in the whole
scheme of the Russian situation. The

Over miles of rough, unfenced hills and
valleys;
And a thousand head of dull painted cattle
Waited for my coming.
Before the sun peeped over the divide

Would GERRY" me to life,
And in a dream I'd rise TO greet tho sun
Cows are lovely-on a canvas;
And grazing horses lift my soul to grace
But, oh

A dozen steeds to corral for the days work.
hundred chicks to feed,
barn to clean
All for a morning mess of pottage.
And all the while the great outdoors
Hummed carelessly about me-
The singing bee provoked me with his
roadside joy
How could I stop to speak to him
With forty field of hay to NOV?
tDoes that answer you Walt Whitman,
Or watch the coyote slink behind wooded
hill
At my coming.
All JOY, all beauty snatched in fragments
Painful because incomplete.
And then the long, long afternoon.
Inc consciousness of living in paradise
of beauty,
Where joy turns to bitterness
AS it fees.
The night draws on
And bitter herbage is the evening meal.
