A PLEA FOR JAPAN.

The province of Shantung has an
area of $4,000 square miles, with a
population of about 25,000,000, says
the New York Evening Post. The
leased territory of Kiau-Chau, sur
rendered by Germany to Japan, is IA
fragment of the province of Shan
tung, with an area of 200 square miles
and IA native population of about 200,-
600. Shantung and Kiau-Chau have
been used Interchangeable in recent
discussion, but it will do no harm,
when the rape" of Shantung and the
"enslavement" of forty million Chinese
are next brought up, to remember that
the area primarily in question, Kiau-
Chau, comprises about One-half of one
per cent. of the area of Shantung and
less than one per cent. of the popula-
ton. There are involved, to be
sure, the railway from TSing-taO, the
port of Kiau-Chau, to Tsinanfu, the
capital of Shantung, about $50 miles
long; the cables from Tsing-tao to
Shanghai and Clrifu, and mining con-
cessions throughout the province. The
question of sovereignty, however, con-
Germs the leased area only, and here
Japan has given Il pledge of its re-
turn to China, within Il year it is
understood, retaining for herself har-
Dor facilities near Tsing-taO. Only by
merginb 200 square miles into $4,000
square miles, magnifying 100000 pop
ulation into 100000, and assuming
that Japan stands ready to break her
word does the problem of kiau-Chau
attain the dimensions it holds in the
Imagination of Hiram Johnson. The
Johnson Borah argument would be
that since Japan has hitherto scrup-
ulously held to her word, she is bound
to begin breaking it some time.

The Balance Sheet.
On the debit side:

CriDDIed % 600 600

On the debit side:
Killed, 100000
Crippled, 20OO0,00O.
Homes destroyed, 100000
Money loss, S120,000,O0O,
Anarchic conditions over one-half of
Europe and with difficulty kept out of
the remainder.
A social quackery which plies its
trade among peoples confused by
losses that are reparable only by in
dustry and thrift.
On the credit side:
A demonstration that liberty is so
priced that to save it no sacrifice is too
great.
New proof that man is a moral be-
ing and reacts to moral ideals
A greater sense of fraternity among
gether.
A chance that the lessons of the war
will so sink in that hereafter gigantic
evil would be stopped before it gets
afoot
The losses are in material things ::
the gains are spiritualities. One mass
looms large to those who see only
things; but the other looms large to
those who see ideas.
The world is impoverished in tenn
pora goods, but if summoned before
the True Assessor would be proclaim
ed richer than five years ago. A jewel
was found in the mire of war Man
kind went through fiery furnace, and
the smell is upon it, but it survived
the ordeal.
A generation capable of performing
the prodigies marking this one may
claim it is master of its fate and fore
see, not far distant, the day when the
mark of the Beast will be gone, but,
forever remaining, the glorious MEM
DRY that he was successfully resisted.

Prussians of the Balkans.

Our attention has been so engrossed
with the German and Austrian treaties
that venture the opinion that not one
person in hundred has given Sc
rious thought to the Bulgarians. These
fellows called themselves proudly "the
Prussians of the Balkans" In 1915
they hoodwinked the entente into for
bidding Serbia to take measures for
her own protection. They lied and de-
ceived the pacifists, who still had in
fluence in allied councils, and by so do
ing dragged in Turkey and made the
task of crushing Germany hopeless, as

Germany at Peace.

Germany having officially accepted
the treaty, the mere signing of the
document is of little consequence ex-
cept as a spectacle of pomp and cere-
mony.
What is of consequence to Germany,
to the allies and to all mankind is that
the German people may now go back
to work, with their trade gates thrown
wide open to the world.
Because it is the particular genius of
the German people to work with ener-
gy and intelligence, with pains taking
detail and untiagging ambitiOn-to
throw themselves heart and soul into
1.-THE Germans themselves will get
more out of this treaty of peace than
any other peoples on the face of the
earth.
1t is for this reason that the Ger
mans sign the treaty-for it is as good
as signed. 1t is for this reason that
they will fulfill its provisions to the
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-07-05
"Der T ag."

Germany will sign the treaty of
peace, for she realizes she has come
to the end of her rope The national
assembly has voted to authorize the
new cabinet to sign, and to reasSure
the cabinet headed by Herr Bauer the
assembly also voted confidence in the
new government. Premier Bauer gives
us a new version of the Hymn of Hate
one in which the dominating note is
one of despar-despair over what he
would have US believe is the helpless
ness of Germany's future. With Eek
allied Indignation" the premier, in be-
half of his crushed cOuntrymen, says
Germany will sign, but will protest
against the declaration of the allies
that Germany is to blame for bringing
on the war and against the surrender
of the HohenzelernS to the allies for
trial
Premier Bauer refers several times
to Germany's Imperial government"
What mockery What travesty
when humility and terror lurk in every
corner of a once proud empire. An
imperial empire indeed-with it's for
mer Kaiser a fugitive from justice, its
war lords hiding in obscurity, its army
disbanded, its navy sunk and much of
its territory carved into new repub-
lies! The words Imperial govern
ment' on the lips Of Herr Bauer are
wonderfully suggestive. however, of
the. hopes and dreams still filling the
secret consciousness of Germans, high
and low.
The last act is soon to be staged.
The settings are being put into posi-
ton at Versailles, where representa-
tives of the new German ministry,
relics of the lostsc cause of once pow
erful and dreaded people, will appear
before their conquerors to sign a hui
initiating but just peace. Germany'S
future will depend entirely upon her
self. If Germans persist on being the
worlds barbarians, without conscience
or honor, their country will again face
the forces of civilization, and after
that there will be no Germany.-New

The Great Day.

The treaty has not been formally
signed. but two hours before the ex-
piry of the time limit announcement
was made of unconditional acceptance
of the terms.
After five years of effort such as no
generation has ever made, we stand at
the threshold of day whose coming
has been so passiOnately longed for.
The world was frantic with joy on
armistice day, but doubt and appre-
hension continued to Turk. Elements
of discOrd appeared among the allies,
and Germany was alert to take advan-
tage.
1t is a great day. The immediate
perils are over. 1t holds out hope to
tired humanity. AS far as any docu-
ment may, it gives assurance that the
dead have not died in vain. The as
SaultS on morale were as futile as on
the slopes and trenches of Verdun and
Belgium
But in our rejoicing let us not be
deceived. The war came because the
peaceable lacked intelligence They
smut tnelf eyes 10 the palpaDle TACT
that a mOnstrous evil was uncOiling
Never again
Germany processes no repentance
She says the peace is one of violence,
thus declaring that lack of physical
power, not her will, prevents her re-
neWing it.
May the next generation not re-
proach the present one. May determi-
nations harden. Germany may not be
trusted until there is change more
fundamental than yet manifest. Ger
many must be kept disarmed and from
tiers strong until until the danger
passes. Here are our bulwarkS of
peace. There are none other as long
as Germany is as she is.

ricy, deceit, trickery and selfishness
at last will be dethroned by the moral
conscience 1t is the great force of
the world that guides men into decent
living; that deters from sin; that
proves truth to be living light, that
uncovers the mask of falsehood, that
leads the world into Gods sunshine
There are no little things we do for
the sake of eXpediency that will carry
us very far. We may preach morals,
but we are unworthy ourselves if we
do not live them.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-07-05
MORAL FORCE.

Moral force is a greater power than
cases. In all great enterprises in
which the interests of the masses are
at stake the moral status of the
cases involved is generally the domin-
ant factor in the final determination.
When the words of a man or Il people
are unbalanced, when they are not
excellent and sincere, they must
sooner or later give way TO truth
which inevitably asserts itself. Moral
ity may not be greater power than
religion, but it is religious foundation.
Without moral force no man can
undertand the certainty with which
fate finally overtakes him. Given Il
man of the most convincing talent; let
him be strong, powerful, appealing
and yet if as the keystone to character
he fails to have that little one essen
tial, moral strength, his arch of prin-
cipleS crumbleS and falls in a heap.
InSincerity is the handmaiden of fail
ure The two go hand in hand to-
gether. None of us may hope to win
a lasting place in the hearts of our
fellows if we do not watch for the
moral hazard behind our daily actions.
We may cloak our conduct with decep-
ton we may cover up our tracks as
we go along, but there will come Il
time when moral sentiment like con
science, will undo us. And SO hypoc-

far as Europe was concerned. The
atrocities they perpetrated on their
helpless Serbian and Greek victims
were appalling, exceeding even the

The Great Tight Way.

If any evidence is necessary to justi-
fly the enforcement of prohibition it is
that furnished by the champion of per
sonal liberty, the New York World.
An article was published stating that
the Great Tight Way, as it calls Broad
way, was crowded with people filling
themselves up with liquor. In restau-
rants women We're carried out uncon-
SciOus. Even walters purloined drinks
and dropped trays of mint julips and
other expensive compounds. In fact,
the whole district was given over to
liberty loving citizens, soldiers and
sailors, who We'd with each other in
exercising as much personal liberty as
they We're capable of surviving and in
some cases not even that o Liberty,
what a quantity of liquor is consumed

This story was told me by an Irish
man:
An Irish soldier was badly wounded
and taken to hospital located in a
town knocked to pieces by shells.
The doctor, looking at him, said to
the nurse, "Humor him, and don't con
tradict anything he says
In the morning Pat woke up and
said, Am | homer

The question as to whether the com

On this, our nations natal day,
For worldwide amity we pray;
For peace, goodwill, disarmament
In lands by war and faction rent;
For all which trends to common good
And universal brotherhood.
But first and most of all things yet,
Our own trust let us not forget:
Be ours to guard that freedom won
At Bunker Hill and lexington
Be- ours true loyal hearts and free
True to our sires and true to Theel
