many nses made Of the league of ma
tons to render the treaty workable and
to secure the execution of its provi-
slons. These features do not increase
the burdens of the United States beyond
what the already published terms of the
league involve, except in furnishing
members OF commissions and tribunals
who, acting as representatives Of the
league, are to pass upon and decide
special classes of questions arising out
of the construction and execution of the
treaty. Most of these duties do not in
volve us any more than the service of
our representatives on the mixed court
in Egypt carried with it obligation upon
our government.
League Needed for Peace
These features of the treaty are not
unexpected and could not be. Those
who have advocated a league of nations
to enforce peace have always contended
that no treaty which would achieve the
purpose of ourselves and our allies in
fighting the war could be possibly en-
forced without league Of nations. in =
cluding at least those nations who won
the war and were making the treaty.
The suggestion that this feature finds
a motive in desire to force the league
through the Senate should be given no
weight. 1t was the situation which
called for the league to make the peace.
The need for tribunals to settle difficult

transit from Germany to East Prussis
is secured by the treaty, and DanzIg
il left free city for the Germans
therein to govern themselves, subject
oply TO the Polish right to use the port
facilities for Polish trade. Germany
Is still a great domain. with great power
for resiliency and recovery In an INDUS
trial way. She is restricted IN seeking
methods Of oppressive competition ana
in taking advantage of her uninJured
industrial status after having deliber.
ately destroyed much of the Industrial
capacity of her natural competitors
France and Belgium.
Germany in her mad dream of uni
versal empire reused against her an
alliance of the world, and the alliance
has driven her to her knees. Ruthless
cruelty and disregard of all conventional
rules of war inflicted upon the world
suffering and agony never,known before
in history. This treaty in the limita-
ton of her military preparation. forces
and activities is justly designed to keep
her in the safe and useful attitude of
genuhection, to which our victory IN
this war drove her, The momentary
suggestion that these provisions are
hard yields at once when the occasion
and the reason for them are better un-
derstood. In all criminal prosecutions
the perpetrator of the crime is favored
by delay in the trial. The harshness
of the penalty to be imposed and its
effect upon the persons present in court
have greater weight in the minds Of
the jury than they should'have in con
sidering the necessity for punishment
of such crimes as deterrent of others.
We need to have our memories vividly
refreshed lest we forget our duty.
Cannot Pay Full Bill
In all respects Slt one reparation
should be enforced to the full. Ger
many has wrought far more injury than
she can ever pay for. But Lloyd
George and Clemenceau had promised
their peoples they would secure the last
dollar from Germany for this purpose
and no treaty that did not formally an
nounce the principle and create ma
chinery to secure its application would
have satisfied their constituencies. So
after securing a payment of $1,000.
600. 900 in gold or in kind provision is
made for the further payment Of $25,-
600 ,OOO, 900 in installments by the issue
of bonds. And then the question of the
amount of the full reparation is left to
n commission which is to report in
1921. The treaty expressly recognizes
that Germany cannot pay all she is
liable for, and we may assume that the
injured Allies will come to realize that
the sums which they will receive will
be larger if they abate their claims and
relieve Germany from a burden impos-
sible to carry by reasonably proportion
ing what they take from her to her
ability to pay. Time cures such un-
reasonaDleness. as the French and
British constituencies have shown in
this matter. The device in the treaty
for letting this cure operate is a good
one.
What one notes in the treaty Is the

to their dependence on the outside
world for living.
The South Germans.
The South Germans of Bavaria ard
the Rh1neland towns manifest far
less fear over the defeat and the
debt with which Germany will be
burdened. Food conditions interest
them, and the internal problems OF
the country. Foreign politics occu
pies far less place in their discus
sions.
The reason for the remarkably
different view point may be explain
ed by the remark of Bavarian high
in political circles. Between you
and me, We don't mind this defeat
so much after all. It's true that we
might have made far better peace
a year ago but we'd still be under
the domination of Prussia. Now We
are Independent OF it. and the Prus-
slams know they can't rule us any
more. Wen have> 10 pay more, but
it is better freedom"
Prussia probably will make a
strong bid 10 continue her influence
over the Germans. The struggle is
on now the South Germans talk OF
claws from Berlin" il the CAPITAL OF
the new republic is not moved furth
err south. Unfortunately, there is no
big city in Central German& which
would do. Under pressure from the
South Germans. a new capital may
be built from the ground up, after
the manner of Washington.
= Another Interesting Feature.
Another interesting feature OF
South German life is the satisfac-
ton with their OWE country and the
life there. People are content to
live and work and lei the outside
world Alone. This NAV be due to the
fact that life in South Germany is
heartier, more solid and less of a
struggle than i'm the north.
In Berlin and other parts of North
ern Germany there is huge percent
age of the population looking forward
to leaving the country at the first
opportunity, for America and Eng
land if entry in those countries is
possible. You are besieged with PEG
pie who want to know if Germans
soon can go to America. The Prus
sian viewpoint sees no reason why
Germans cannot enjoy the fruits of
the world as they did before the war,
