EUROPE SEES

he resumed his paramount influence
in the Peace Conference without
single protest, and promptly employ
ed this influence to overturn the
whole program Of Europe.
Covenant Is Symbol.
If the Republican party had attack
ed the Leauge Of Nations covenant, II
it had at one time indicated its de-
termination that the United States
should finish the great task In Eu-
rope, it's equal conviction that Mr..
Wilson's covenant, based upon mis-
taken principles, must be totally
transformed, the situation would have
been quite different. No government
in Europe cares a red cent about the
covenant OF the League Of Nations;
only Mr.. Wilson, few British states
men like Lord Robert Cecil, who
mainly composed it, regard it as OF
importance. The people of the var
ious nations have only the vaguest
ideas about it, they take it as SYM
Dol. not as a legal document.
But in the course of the Paris con-
ference, the League of Nations has
come to be the concrete demonstration
of the intention OF America to COM
giving the necessary continuing lnfiu-
ence to removing the ruin, by lending
moral as well as material aid, by con-
tinuing to be associated with the ma
lions which fought Germany. Europe,
Allied Europe, has understood, now
understands, that American associa-
ton can only be had if Mr.. Wilson's
League of Nations is created; it also
understands that if the league is
created, Americas support is assured.
Wilson Is Single Hope
Therefore, when the Republicans
adopted or seemed to Europe to adopt
a policy of desertion, course involv-
ing the abandonment of our Euro
pean allies, Europe naturally con-
cluded that Mr.. Wilson was their sim
gle hope, their one friend in America,
the leader whose victory alone could
assure the greater victory which was
for them a question of life or death.
| An attack upon the League of Nations
leaves Europe cold. Millions of plain
people demanded some sort of inter
national understanding which will
make future wars impossible, but be-
vond vague aspiration there is little
| clear thinking. In France, the League
of Nations idea has enlisted little sup
port, only moderate support in Britain
But the thing that the League of Ma
tions mbolizes-namely, American
participation in world reorganization
! is a thing of infinite value in all eyes
This is what opposition in America
seemed at this distance to have as
sailed.
Today, Mr.. Wilson's influence in
Europe, which is irresistible, rests
upon the general belief that he and
his party in America are fighting &c
have America remain force for good
and for sanity in the world, while his
opponents are seeking to have the
United States abandon her incom
pletely finished task in Europe, flee
home and erect a barbed wire fence
| about America. If we should do this
| believe the most sober-minded mer
over here are satisfied that all Europe
would go Bolshevist; certainly that is
my own view.
Thus, in effect, the campaign in
America has taken precisely the one

SOLDIERS PATRoNIzE OPERA

COBLENZ, March 24.-When the
Army of Occupation arrived in Cob

opera company company was giving
performances nightly and the soldiers
f1ocked to the theatre in great crowds.
Since that time, perhaps fifty per cent
or more of the company's business has
been due to the fondness of American
soldiers for grand opera.

Paris, June 1.-THE American Peace
Commission has extended its lease or
the Hotel de Chiffon, its headquarters
SO as to insure possession well into
the Autumn. This action is the out
come of the belief that the Peace
Conference is likely to drag on for
several months.
While the United States is not at

European Allies desire the American
representatives participate in the
deliberations over the fate OF these
two enemy nations. Turkey, Hun
gary and Russia present problems
that the allied powers must solve,
and there is every prospect that these
win furnish reasons for keeping the
interallied councillors in session here
for considerable period after the
German and Austrian peace treaties
are disposed Of
President Wilson does not contem-
plate remaining beyond the conclusion
of the German treaty. On account of
recent occurrences, however, his re-
turn to America has been delayed, and
il is understood that consideration
has been given to the question whether
he may, without embarrassment TO
the public business OF America be alb
sent from Washington beyond July /.
The annual appropriations for the
support fthe Government expire o.,
June 30, and II was taken for granted
that the President would be obliged
to be in Washington before then to
approve the new Congressional acts
making appropriations for the next
fiscal year.
II should be understood, however
that Il Is not the intention OF the
President to remain abroad after the
German peace is signed. A conserva
tive estimate fixes the date for that
ceremony not later than June 20. II
the President left Paris then he would
probably BIO able to reach America
by July l.

a thoroughly companionable, unaffect-

Great Britain is passing through a.
cutely critical times, and Lloyd George
is needed there every minute of every
day. So is every other man who has
the quality of leadership and a con-
science to regulate it.
When one nation pays a compliment
tary visit to another, it generally uses
as a representative some one who is
merely a symbol. It is economy to do
so. And he is received by a symbol
representing the visited nation-the
recipient of the compliment And so
the courtesies are exchanged. The
symbolical visitant never enters the
humber dwellings of the people Wis
tied, and sees next to nothing of their
national life; therefore it hardly mat
tiers who he is. President Wilson saw
nothing of the French and British
when he was in Europe, although he
did some work there. And the COM
pliments have been passed.
AS far as official courtesies go, a
couple of postal cards would do it just
as well.

Tobacco Next?

We learn that the veta of the abo-
litionists will shortly fall upon tobac-
co. The use of tobacco is not condu-
Give to good health, they say. At all
events, this is true Of its abuse.
We fear there is only too much &C
curacy in this reasoning. The abuse
Of tobacco is, unquestionably, harmful
1t is even poisonous. And if the wide
spread use of an article is a prelude
to widespread over-indulgence in it,
the correct attitude of every discern
ing citizen is beyond discussion. The
use of the article must be entirely sup
pressed.
This newspaper wishes to declare its
position in no uncertain terms. Every
Influence that threatens national health
must be abolished, and if tobacco is
harmful, tobacco must go.
So must the corset. Many special
iets in hygiene have analysed the eff
feet of the corset on the female or
gans, and their verdict is thumbs
down" This newspaper hardly claims
to be an arbiter in debate concern
ing feminine costuming, but it claims,
at least, the merit of consistency. If
tobacco and corsets are endangering
public health, we demand a death SEN
tence upon them. Also upon the high
heeled shoe. Also face-powder. The
medical profession has long ago de-
clared itself.
And these are only the beginning of
our list; but there is not space in one
editorial to tabulate the whole. In
succeeding weeks we hope to enumer-
ate all the things that must be abolish
edit the use of thing and its abuse
are identical. The condemned items
to be listed are multitudinous, but if
we live long enough we hope to cata-
log them all.
