"A German League of Nations.

6PHE Germans, too, have their league of
nations plan. In view of present in
u terest in the plan worked out by the
allied representatives at Paris, it is inter
esting to compare the program set forth by
Matthias Erzberger, in book printed last
September and now translated into Eng
hsh
Erzberger, it will be remembered, is the
man who headed the delegation sent re-
Gently by the new German government to
make Foch modify the allies armisticc
terms, and who came back to Weimer shiv-
ering from the shock he got.
This German plan, as might have been
expected, contemplates a league with Ger
many at the head of it--a scheme
smeared all over with the old, arrogant
Prussianism.
The league is to consist of Germany,
Great Britain, France, America and Rus
STA, and such other nations as they may
admit. Italy and Japan are barred arbi-
trarily. The most Prussian thing about it
is the naive proposal that the five powers
named shall preside over the sessions of
the league for one year each, in the alpha
betical order Of their names not in the
German language, but in French. Inas-
much as the French name for Germany is
ssAllemagne'' that would of course give
Germany control during the first year.
On the whole, it is just as well that Ger
many was thoroughly licked right after the
publication Of that ambitious project, but
II certainly isn't as bad as it would be if
formulated BY zreberger.

Have Faith and Jump.

m Ohm GALSWORTHY, the English
author, gave an inspiring bit OF ad-
w vice to Americans at dinner in New
York the other night.
ssYou are at the commencement he
said, sof a period Of new and vigorous art.
You have material here in America for
painters and singers, for drama and story,
that would drive us in England crazy.
You must, you simply must, paint, and tell
Of this amazing America in terms Of rev.
elation and beauty. Have faith and
junpv'
That would make fine motto for pres
cnt-day America, in all lines Of effort, poll
teal and economic as well as artistic:
"Have faith and jump!"
The big Americans Of the past, of every
sort, have done that very thing. Our two
authors generally considered the greatest,
Emerson and Whitman, were striking
examples of this. They launched forth
regardless of the path Of old-world prece-
dent, seeking to express the soul of Amer
lea in their own way, as they understood
it. Their work towers far above that Of
others who, lacking this supreme faith,
felt obliged to 60 to Europe for theme or
inspiration. It has been so with most of
the minor writer's who have had any con-
siderable success. It is so with the paint
ers, sculptors and musicians who have won
] distinction abroad; for Europe does not
like slavish imitation-it seeks and praises
originality and sincerity.
Our great business men have been even
more conspicuous followers of this rule,
Rockefeller, Carnegie, Fields, Gould, Nor
gan, Hill, Harrison and the rest, all have
plunged in and tackled the new problems
Of the new world in new way and won
