Wilson's Stiff Necked Attitude
at Paris Held Responsible
For Present World Crisis
For Present
[From the Boston Transcript

vital matters have been held up
solely because he insists that they
shall be left to the judgment of a
league whose organic law has not
yet been approved by any nation, as
against the reasonable contention of
France, Great Britain and Italy, and
the ardent preference of his own
countrymen, that these very vital
matters shall be settled in the treaty
of peace, and settled speedily and
finally in order that the world may
have an end of war and that the win
ners of the war may be brought
home and allowed to take up the
great tasks of peace.
1t may be that Mr.. Wilson is him
self unconscious of any wrongdoing
in thus prolorging the war. His
blunders may be mistakes of the head
and not of the heart, but they are
blunders none the less and they are
costing the world heavily. But for
his insistence upon putting the cart
before the. horse" but for his arbi-
trary attempt to fasten upon his own
country an offensive scheme of de-
naturalization, but for his fouting
of his constitutional partners in the
| Government, but for this dictatorial
attitude at Paris, there is every
reason to believe that the treaty of
peace would have been signed weeks
ago and many thousands of Amer
lean soldiers would be at home to-
day instead of marking time in
| France and Germany, where they
are daily facing dangers far more
deadly than they defied under fire.
The soft answer" made public yes
terday over Mr.. Wilson's signature
may accomplish its purpose on the
other side of the Atlantic, but it will
| fail to convince many of his own
countrymen that his course in the
premises has been either wise or
considerate. He is to blame for
the delay, his euphemistic evasion to
| the contrary notwithstanding.

PerShiRg Recalled Hero'S Face

General Pershing has a good mem
ory for faces. In decorating one
soldier. the general asked if he had
received the telegram sent to him
after the battle of the Marine. The
telegram had congra tulated that SOL
dier for the bravery he had shown
in battle. The man was somewhat
surprised to think that the General
remembered, but he managed to say,
"Yes, sir" Passing on down the line,
the commander-in-chi came to an
infantryman of Italian birth who
was to be decorated with a Distin-
guished Service Medal. The General
stopped and said, How many Gen
mans did you kill?" II gotta seen
widda banda grenade" replied Italy's
native son as the decoration was
pinned on his blouse. The General
with smile said, THAT was very
good. From the Barrage, publica.

PUBLIC SPIRIT

"HE most encouraging feature of
the meeting at the Capitol
Tuesday evening was not that
those in attendance pledged their
support to Colonel Martin in his ef-
forts to make Harrisburg a model
city from the standpoint of public
health and sanitation, but the size
of the audience.
That nearly 900 people should as
semble at the call of the State Health
Commissioner, without special in
vitation, to discuss the betterment of
Harrisburg, indicates a public spirit
that will make possible any program
of improvement that may be decided
upon.
That is the big thing which the
meeting developed.

NEGLECTED COUPONS
LFrom the New York Sun. ]

loiil lhS ANCN vi N AoNh'
Early this week it was reported
that the market price of Liberty
bonds in San Francisco was 5 per
cent. higher than the price in New
York. In answer to ambitious f1nan-
ciers who thought this discrepancy
might offer an opportunity for them
to get rich quick by buying bonds on
the Atlantic coast and selling them
at the Golden Gate, Governor Lynch
of the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank has been obliged to explain
that the higher price is offered only
for bonds with coupons which have
fallen due but have not been paid.
OF such bonds there are q great
many, their holders having neglected
to collect the interest Uncle Sam
owes them.
Among the millions of persons
who bought Liberty bonds were
many thousands who knew nothing
about securities. There have been
numerous cases in which owners of
bonds have believed that they, and
not the Government, were obliged
to pay interest, and some of these
men and women have actually tried
to make such payments. Others,
with highly patriotic purpose, have
deliberately refrained from cashing
their coupons, thinking that by so
doing they were relieving the treas
ury of a burden. The task of edu-
| eating the new bondholders has
proved stupendous one, and great
numbers of them do not yet under
stand what they should do with the
interest money their investments
earn them.
Bondholders who do not need the
interest on their holdings have an
easy and helpful way to get rid of
it. If it amounts to enough to buy
more bonds in the market they can
get Liberty bonds at bargain rates.
If it is not sufficient to pay for a $50
bond they can buy Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps. What
ever they do, the bondholders should
clip and cash their coupons and
thus let Uncle Sam keep his books
cleared up.

x A SOFT answer turneth away
~ wrath" President Wilson

must have had in mind the
when he typed the excusatory state
ment published to-day in which he
promise of the proverb of Holy Writ
attempted to turn back the tides of
anger rising from the people on both
sides of the Atlantic against the men
and methods at Paris responsible for
the failure of the Peace Conference
to agree upon and dictate to the
enemies of civilization the terms of
the peace of victory" The trouble
with Mr.. Wilson's answer is that
it is too soft" in tone and terms
to carry conviction. He processes
surprise that the discussions of the
ommission on the League of Nations
are blamed vfor delaying the final
formulation of peace" and avows
that he is very glad to take the
opportunity of reporting" that his
report of the British scheme was
the first to be laid before. the Plen-
airy conference" He neglects to con-
fess that his fad was put first on
the list solely because of his insist
ence that it should be dealt with
first. He pleads that the sessions
of his committee have invariably
been held at times when they could
not interfere with the consultation
tof those who have undertaken to
formulate the general conclusions of
the conference"
Mr.. Wilson neglects to confess
that before he was willing to begin
the serious business of the confer
ence he insisted upon making tour
of the capitals of the Old World in
order that he might whip up public
sentiment in support of his fad and
appeal over the heads of orderly
government to war-sick peoples and
give them to understand that he was
prepared to prescribe for the world
panacea for war. He neglects also
to confess that decisions upon many

another, the responsible heads of
these useful enterprises tire of the
unfair attitude and naturally seek
more congenial surroundings. Then
the public suddenly awakens to the
fact that one of the sources of pros
perity for all the people is about
to be lost through this antagonism
or indifference of the community.
Too often the general public over
looks the importance of these enter
prises to the welfare of the people
and the incident at West Chester
serves to illustrate this public indif-
ference.
While the West Chester business
community protests that the concern
which is about to remove elsewhere
is not an object of public antagon-
ism and that the relations which
should always be harmonious be-
tween the community at large and
the industrial and other enterprises
actually prevail in that town, the
situation may serve to arouse other
communities to the importance OF
manifesting proper appreciation of
individual and corporate undertak-
ings.
Now and then the average COM
munity forgets the industry already
in it's midst and fails in proper con-
sideration of an established industry
striving in every way to interest out
side concerns. OF course, the growth
of any city or town. depends upon
the increase of it's industrial and
commercial interests, but the West
Chester episode has demonstrated
the wisdom of a friendly attitude
toward existing concerns while
reaching out for others.
In these days of readjustment 1t
would be we'll for all to remember
that the industrial and commerclal
concerns of the country have been
passing through a most trying Pc
riod and that they should have the
cooperation rather than the antag-
onism of the people whose own well
fare and prosperity depend in so
large measure upon their sue
cess.

Business experts believe the coun-
try is making wonderful headway
toward more normal conditions ana
general business is steadily improv-
ing. 1t is believed the Victory Lip
erty Loan will be oversuoscrloeo'
which fact of itself will serve To
brace the backbone of business every
where. A national spirit of THRIFT
has come through development OF
interest in the securities of the Gov
ernment There is one fly in the
ointment, of course, and that is the
failure of the Government to persuade
the people of the desirability of gov
ernment ownership of the railroads
and other public utilities. Perhaps
the experience has been valuable
lesson for the people and may in the
end be a blessing in disguise.

WAITING FOR PEACE

w att at Paris rss is sas trying to settle
many problems in the inter-
est of the world, there are questions
which concern the American people
a good deal more than many of the
matters which are now engrossing
the attention of the peace delegates.
We on this side of the ocean are
not particularly concerned about
national boundaries in Europe, save
as they make for world peace, but
we are vitality interested in read
justments which affect the prosperi-
ty and .contentment and the general
welfare of our own people. The
sooner these are taken up some
parament way, the sooner we shall
settle down to Il normal attitude
and to something like contentment
This country never contemplated
so long a period of negotiation over
questions which do not seem to have
had anything to do with the war.
We had a right to expect that prop
er punishment would be inflicted up
on Germany, and that some work.

time taking it's place on the firing
line, it won the everlasting gratitude
of the allied nations by coming in
at the critical hour, but we now
seem in danger of losing the friend
ship of the peoples with whom we
were associated in the great sdven-
ture.
There is still enough optimism
among Americans to check the ris-
ing discomfort growing out of dis
appointment over protracted peace
negotiations and the average citi-
zen will endeavor to overcome a
tendency toward pessimism which
is one of the results of the failure
of the peace delegates to keep the
people advised of their proceedings
Many believe we are on the verge
of period of great prosperity in
the United States, but until matters
are adjusted in Europe, it can hardly
be expected that there will be the
energy and enthusiasm here so me-
