Arriving Openly.

(Waterbury American).
 Herbert c. Hoover is probably the greatest living exponent of "Open covenants openly arrived at." When Hoover goes gunning for a covenant, or anything, he travels on top of the ground, right out in the open where everybody can see him and hear what he says. And when he does go gun ming for a covenant or anything, he unfailingly arrives at the thing he goes after.
 Hoover started out to feed the Bel gians when everybody else in the world was too busy With his own worries to even think of them. The high authorities in England told him he was acting in a manner which en- titled him to have his head chopped off in the tower of London. But he had started out to feed the Belgians and he fed the Belgians, keeping right out in the open all the time. The Germans told him he had better get into dugout or he might get hit. He told them, more or less politely, to go to thunder and take good care not to let any stray hates fly in his direction or there would be trouble. Nothing harmful came his way When he set out to reduce the belt-llne of the great American people he did it from hilltop where all might see every move he made. Since the armistice he has been cOursing through Europe without a scrap of cam ouf1age. Now he returns to Paris, drags the supreme peace council out of it's dark and devious hiding place into the blinking sunshine of pitiless publicity and bids it openly arrive at a decision to huri the sinister Arch duke Joseph from his near-thrOne. And the peace council has, apparent ly. obeyed him without a murmur
 Contemp plation of HooVer's meth ods and accomplishments stirs vague regrets. If he had been chief envoy from the United States to the peace conference it is easy to believe that Shantung would now be where it ought to be; that the Monroe Doc Urine would be as safe as Gibraltar, that Article 10 would mean what it ought to mean and that, in general, the world would know pretty exactly where the United States stands. And think of all the valuable senatorial breath that would have been saved for pressing domestic needs.

\ SONG OF STRENGTH.

We have washed our hands of the blood, we have turned at length From the straight blind alleys of death to the way of peace, Gladly we labor, singing the song of our strength, The strength of man long fettered that finds release;- The climber settin his foot on the perilous slope, The hunter driving the wild thing from it's lair. The traveller steering his course by the star of his hope, Never too faint to believe, too weak to dare;- The fisherman facing the storm while landsmen sleep, The sWimmer-poised for an in stant against the sky, Filling the eye with beauty-plunging deep
 With wet white shoulders thrusting the pillows by;- The airmen, lowering, sweeping above the hill,
 The engine driving a furrow of flame through the night The long ships breasting the waves they are with us still, The strong clean things we have made for our hearts delight;- So shall we sing as we labor, till faint hearts hear And turn from their sorrows to listen-to cry at length: Lo, we have put away doubt, and cast off fear, Come. let us fashion the world to the song of our strength. p. H. B. L., in the Spectator.

COMMUNICATED
From a Woman.

Editor Herald:
 In reading the various stories of the soldiers meetings and their opinions concerning the Welcome Home pa rade, it seems to me there is one phase of the question not given it's due con- sideration. It's the question of the women. Won't the soldiers of whom they were so proud, march for them .?
 After all, they, too, were very brave; they hid their anxiety and fear con corning these same boys. under smil- ing faces as they did the task at hand, expressing their love in almost tirelesS service. The darkest days of waiting were filled for them with work for the home branch of the Red Cross. They seWed and packed and managed until the work was done. The home service branch did what it could to help the families of the lost soldiers. And how those same fanli- lies braVely "carried on!' All this splendid complishment, in addition to the work of making the homes and filling regular positions in offices and factories. The work of the Liberty loan and war work campaigns was

The American Legion.
(NeW York HeraId.)

AS America had it's Grand Army of the Republic afte" the Civil War, so 1t has the American Legion-a national organiza ton of Anerisan veterans of the word War. in he las, six months 3,500 local roS'S have been organized, and the membership has already reached :5O,O0O. It is expected that the mcmbersn,p will reach one million by November II, when Marshal Foch is expected to address the first national convention in Minneapolis.
 The spirit behind the legion is dis tinctly the Am erican spirit. Every one of it's members served the nation in war with only one thought, to pro- tect this land. Those who now sleep in France fought to protect and save America. TO :d'7" UlInce was 10 save America. To save Englant was 10 save America. There was no flag of league of nations--none but the Stars and Stripes. On the battle front and in the camps and trenches there was just one thought-Whip the Germans and then aNenge the sink ing of the Lusitania and save Amer iCa.
 The same spirit which inspired the soldiers in war inspires them in peace The American Legion typi- fies patriotism. To that organization the United States comes first It is worthy of the confidence and support of all Am mericans.

JOHNSON'S AMENDMENT,

The amendment to the League of Nations pact introduced by Senator Johnson, of California, which was tions Committee by a vote of to S. common occurrence on these ques- tions-Will be more worthy of con- Bideration by the Senate and the people of the United States than any heretofore brought before them. The

shared by the women. And all this, while they bravely and prayerfullv locked up in their hearts the fears and love for their own particular "soldier boy"
 But, this isn't to praise the women. They were only trying to be worthy in a small measure of their soldiers at the front. They would like to see their "sOldiers on parade''-the soldiers, whom they honor and thank, would give them much pleasure by so doing,

text of the amendment reads that the votes that is equal to that Of any power which has governing col onies, each of which is entitled to d vote. In other words, the six votes of Great Britain and it's dependent-- but elf-governing ng-colonies would be neutralized by vote of the Untcl States, if necessary. Then the ques- tion would still be open for other nations to decide. The proposition appears reasonable from an American standpoint.
 Great Britain raises the contention that the entire six votes will not ne- cessarily be influenced by the ballot of the representative from the island, which is the seat of control. She may be right and we have no wish to see the colonies deprived of their vo.a. However, the United States, as q great power, should have just as much of a say as Great Britain in future matters of policy. But, then, so should Russia, so should Brazil and so should Morocco. They are not our concern at present, though, and if it is their wish to ratify under the cir CumstanCes. we should not interfere. Our wishes are another matter. Should we give Great Britain the power to outvote us? It is doubtful, although the British are not suspected of any ulterior motives in obtaining the six votes.
 This amendment like the rest, may mean the defeat of the Treaty, how ever, as Great Britain may take a stand against allowing us to neutral ize her position. It may reopen dis cussions should we insist, even though we ought to do so.
 The opposing senators seem to be of the opinion that they have tue Treaty beaten anyhow The Shan tung amendment will serve as a means to reopening the discussions as we'll as any other. Our construction of that clause will not be accepted Why is the committee proposing all of these amendments if it expects to defeat the Treaty under any circum- stances? Of course, the amendments, as they are submitted, arouse the ire of certain portion of the population and add to the support that the Sen ate will get in defeating the Treaty, but there are enough of them already in to take the matter upon the floor of the Senate. If the committee is trying to find a way out from the sit uation which it feels that it has al- ready lost, it may as we'll admit it. Take d vote on the Johnson amenl- ment first. That one is the best so far.

had given the soldiers bonus of $1OO. "What the boys want is piece Of change" he said.
 Mr. Coffey's statement brought forth a stirring appeal from A. r. Marsh. He asked tno boys to parade as favor to the city. During the war he said there were hundreds of men and women in the city who worked night and day to help the boys overseas and there was no money in it for them"
 Mayor Quigley also addressed the boys saying that the soldiers should not judge the sentiment of the city by the vote of eleven members of the common council. He asked the boys to parade and told of the part that the manufacturers played during the war. He said that it was true that they were a little late in asking the celebration plans to be changed, but he himself favored a short, snappy celebration. He concluded that the manufacturers were heartily in back of the celebration and were doing everything in their power to give the veterans a welcome which they deserved.
 MT. Vance said that this was no time, to discuss money matters and asked to hear from some of the men who opposed the parade.
