TREND OF PEACE
OPPOSED BY FOE
Wilson'S Words at Paris Confab On
Colonial Question Bring Com
mend from Germans.

Berlin. Jan % CTuesday1-By
the Associated Press)
Wilson's speech of Saturday last
before the peace congress contains
the following sentence, as trans
United to Berlin and here re-trans-
lated from the German:
THE United States would have a
feeling that it could not take part
in guaranteeing these European ad-
iustments unless this guaranty IN
cluded the permanent surveillance
of the world peace by the associat-
ed nationo of the world"
This sentence, together with the
reported decision of the supreme
council at Tuesdays session that
the German colonies must not be
given back to Germany, has dis
quoted some German circles. The
Boursen Zeitung for instance says
If President Wilson is correctly
reported he confesses openly that
he. too, like Premiers Clemenceau
and Lloyd George, does not desire
Germany in the future community
OF nations as an equal among
equals, but as a nation watched by
overseers- The president cannot
wonder if people in Germany grad
ually begin to form the opinion
that the hopes they placed in him
are to be disappointed.
The Socialist newspaper Vor-
waerts, in commenting on the re-
port regarding the division of the
German colonies among the allied
nations, says:
-
lovely beginning, The decision
Of the western powers to take the
German colonies for themselves is
borne Of a spirit Numerically OPP
posed to that proclaimed by Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t appears more and
more as if it were the intention of
the western imperialists to leave
TO Mr.. Wilson the merely musical
and declamatory roles of, the per
Torrance and to reserve TO them
selves the business end of the
show.
I'VE Germans would prefer an
honest policy of stand and deliver,
TO a policy of imperial aggrandize-
ment adorned with ethical and ora
torical phrases. But since Ameri-
ca has not yet agreed to the pact
we shall later see whether America
can later make good her former
viewpoint.
The official text of the passage in
President Wilson's speech of Sat
urday. alluded to in the foregoing,
as transmitted from Paris Saturday
night, reads as follows:
1T Cthe United States) would
feel that it could not take part in
guaranteeing those European set
Elements unless that guarantee in

dence of the peace of the world by

At the Illinois.


When d. W. Griffith's great pro-
duction, Hearts of the World
| comes to the Illinois theatre, next
Monday night, for an engagement
of seven nights and six matinees,
tri-city theatregoers viii have an
other opportunity to see the spec
tacle that is now being shown with
unprecedented success throughout
the civilized world.
There is a reson why people of
all nationalities in every cline are
attracted to Hearts of the World;
it appeals to the heart and the eye,
and in addition it is educational; it
is a big spectacle, extremely dra-
matte and tells a delightful love
story with thrills and comedy in
cidents scattered through the plot.
Mr.. Griffith's standing today as the
unrivalled peer of all producers
adds materially to the Importance
of this event and promises to af-
ford an entertainment entirely
unique. Those who have seen THE
Birth of a Nation and "Intoler
ance" and who have followed Mr..
Griffith's career. will be interested
to know that Hearts of the
World" has been declared by en-
inent critics his masterpiece. The
unfolding story of a wholesome ro-
nance amid scenes Of strife has
given Griffith an opportunity to
demonstrate his rare skill in han
ding big themes in manner quite
apart from the methods employed
by other producers
The organization coming to Rock
Island is the same that played ar
engagement at the Moline theater,
September last and which was en-
ployed throughout the run of seven
months at the Olympic and Colonial
theatres, Chicago. The same sym
phony orchestra of 90 musicians
will render the musical accom-
paniment and the same expert
stage mechanicians will create
wonderfully realistic effects II

sharpened all appetites and provoked all
sorts of covetousness In all circles, even
among the workers. Idealism has foundered
under base material prescriptions.
Money is everything! No one wants
anything but money. We must save the
working class from the wave OF immortality %
M. Merriham's speech made deep i'm

denced in great ovation as he left the
platform.
The laboring people OF the world may need
more money and better conditions. But
the way to get these things is not to do
poorer work and less of 1t.
And there probably never was a time in
history when workers, from girls in the
kitchen to skilled operatives in factories,
produced so little and asked so much as
right now.
