represent, that they, IN effect, will
constitute superstate.
Two Leaders Work Together
The fact that Lloyd George is to
attach his name to the plan for the
League of Nations, as Wilson at
tached his name to the plan for tho
Russian solution, is of tremendous
importance. 1t shows that the two
men are working together in the
closest cooperation, even to the
point of agreeing that each shall
have precisely that measure Of credit
which is vitality important for each
to have.
1t makes little difference to Mr..
Wilson who writes the League of Ma
tions plan. His own name is for
ever associated with it as progenj-
tor.
Accordingly, Lloyd George was
permitted to go before the elector-
ate Of Great Britain as the author
of the League of Nations, a thing
politically important to Lloyd
George.
On the other hand, the real force
behind the Russian solution was
largely British, but it was impor-
tant that President Wilson should
attach his name to the plan for get
ting Allied AMI American troops out
Of Russia in order to square him
self with liberal opinion the world
over, which never quite forgave his
Yielding on Russian intervention.
This cooperation and mutual un-
derstanding between Lloyd George
and Mr.. Wilson insures their domi-
nance at the Peace Conference, for
no combination is possible that could
resist them.
/ do not mean to imply that any
fight exists in the conference. It is
perfectly evident there is a dispo-
sition everywhere to compromise.
When the result is finally written
Clemenceau, doubtless, will be per-
mitted to point out something to the
French people as his achievement
for them.
Doubtless the same privilege also
viii be give? to Orlando.
The five overs which sit together
at these conferences of the heads
Of nations have too much at stake to
Permit disunion now. They must sit
together as the inner circle of the
League of Nations for long years to
come. until some new power rises
to disturb the balance.
They must be friends, must COM
promise, must be happy.
The solution of the Russian oues-
tion was welcomed by radicals. but
resented by the conservatives. The
Socialist rHumanite expresses de-
light, for at least until the League
of Nations is created and Russia
gets chance to work out its own
salvation with the economic aid of
other Powers, no war on Bolshevism
can be made.
Conservatives Dissatisfied
For similar reason the Echo de
Paris, conservative, expresses dis
satisfaction in the following sharp
words:

politics, such are the bad guests of

portunity of the people Of Washington
to see such large column OF troops on
exhibition since the close Of the Civil
war, and the sight of the bronzed vet
Grams of the valiant first must have
stirred memories in the minds OF those
who were old enough to have seen the
veterans Of the. Union army as they
passed in grand review down that same
line of march after having fought their
good fight to preserve the union. The
veterans of the first division were back
from bloody encounters in which they
were successful in preserving not only
the United States but the integrity of
many nations hard beset by powerful
and implacabe foe, and thus they occu-
pied position similar to that of the
veterans of '6l'65, perhaps an even
more striking position, because their
work was of broader scope than the
aims of the United States in the Civil
war. So the parade of the first division
in Washington on Sept. II, 1919, will go
down in history as analogous with the
grand review of the veterans of the
Union army of the Civil war. 1t was
not possible to gather the immense army
which represented the United States. be-
cause of the physical impossibility OF
parading several millions through the
streets of the city; yet the first division
typified the whole army, both the expe-
dictionary force and the force which did
not cross overseas, and the review OF
that splendid division will serve as the
final formal ceremony marking the close
of the war albeit the statesmen TO whom
is entrusted the duty of ratifying the
treaty are far from the completion Of
their task. The country views the parade

boats are searching along the northern
shore Of the island and in the Bahamas
for some trace Of the Spanish steam
ship valbanera, which is nine days over

fears are entertained. The steamer with

being unable TO enter port, put out at
sea to wait for the storm to abate. Faint

Valbanera have several times been

was safe are beginning to be pessimistic
over her fate, il is pointed out that on
