league of nations, and he created the league
of nations, and it may be that this con-
centration will prove in the end of great
and lasting benefit to mankind.
On the other hand, it is essential to face
the thing it is in Paris. Mr. Wilson is,
we understand coming back in three weeks
with what purpose man knows. He can
no longer at once exercise the same in
fluence. There has been, am told, draw
ing back in England among the English
people, comparable q little to the change
in France, and in both cases growing out of
increasing eagerness to have done with this
war. of which the peace negotiations have
become not the least burdensome detail.
If Mr.. Wilson should come back from
America resolved to exercise his influence
in the direction of quick settlement based
upon a reasoned and comprehending esti-
mate of the facts in the present situation,
if he should come back determined to finish
the war with Germany by making q new
German attack impossible, if he should
come back as champion of French security,
as a defender of Polish existence, as the
spokesman of o-Slovak integrity, as
the proponent of Jugo-Slavic independence,
as friend of Rumania, his service may yet
be the greatest of any living man in the
making of just peace.
But, by contrast, if Mr.. Wilson comes
back in the same mood in which he came to
Europe more than two months ago, sur
rounded by the people for whom the single
question was not what the situation really
was, but what the President thought it to
be, if he should come back still dedicated
to the pursuit of the abstract, and, above
all, if his coming back results in the post
ponement of settlement with Germany,
which has been too long postponed already,
we shall have another feeling in Paris, and
we shall again have to face, possibly, the
fact that what was won the battlefield
may be lost around the green table.

simply and exclusively to construction of

crimes, which was essential to the future

1914-16 so many champions sprang up, but
with a spring drought in 1917, while the
Allied offensive was on at the Western front,
it lost favor entirely as a subject for argu-
ment. 1t is SO in this country, not only
relative to rainfall and gunfire, but as to
weather changes and the phases of the
moon, and also the suppositon that our
climate is changing; under the suggestion
of an instructive belief, one is involuntarily
led to note only the favorable coincidence,
and thus become more and more confirmed
in the belief.
AS we have not received an unusual
amount of rainfall during the war the pub
lie has not had an opportunity to express
its views. The rainfall here during 1916
and 1913 was considerably below normal,

Bandages for
The Front

The surgical dressing station in the Rue
st. Ddier was the next subject tackled by
Burnside. Here he has shown a great cam
vas walled room filled with white CARRIED
volunteer workers rolling bandages and as
sembllng surgical packages for the fighting
line. You see here faces of young women
who, with different garb, would be New
York society debutantes, or perhaps, spoiled
children of some of Americas best families,
For that is exactly what many of these
bandage rollers were before Uncle Sam
came into the war and provided them with
tasks in which they could be extremely use
full and still maintain fashionable self-re-
spect. When Burnside sat down with his
easel and brushes in the old tent
tennis court of the Rue St. Didier he also
found other types among the workers. There
is the dowager of Paris's American colony
doing her bit daintily and dressed for the
occasion in her most immaculate white
gown and sem-nurse cap--the same in
which she intends to appear at tea with
some other dowager later in the afternoon,
where relative war work will be discussed
In all thrilling detail. And there are also
in the picture motherly looking women who
are giving long hours to it, apparently
with pride in the number of bandagcs
rolled for the boys "out there mt the front"
during single working day. In this paint
ing the artist seems to have again touched
character with certain vividness.-a wholly

Waiting for
The League

One should be fair in stating the facts.
| doubt if any one ever worked harder at
any task than Mr.. Wilson has worked at
his self-imposed duty at the Paris confer
ence. He has neither spared himself nor
II any degree avoided the responsibilities
CT his position. He has worked for his
league of nations with singleness of pur-
pose which will remain noteworthy He has
not labored for a specific plan for the
league of nations. AS I have frequently
said the document which has arrived owes
far more to the English than to Americans,
but for the idea of the league of nations
he has labored necessarily and arduously.
II the league of nations shall prove a sue
cess, do not think later historical estimate
will subtract anything from the, credit due
TO Mr.. Wilson.
But, on the other hand, am anxious to
give some idea Of what has actually hap
pened in Paris, what disturbing and con-
ficting currents of opinion have been
loosed what dangers have been risked.
alike within and without the conference
and what great problems remain not only
unsolved, but daily, through postponement
of the solution, become more menacng.
Mr.. Wilson came to Europe, hailed in
France and England and Italy as no for
eigner has ever been welcomed. | do not
think his best friends would feel that he
goes away carrying with him the same in
fuence in any of these three great
allied countries, do I think this change
is due to any essential hostility to Mr.. Will
sons idea of the league of nations, but
rather to growing apprehension that the
force of Mr.. Wilson's personality and thu
accident of his power at the present time
are combining 70 bring about in fact, a

intolerance of the French view. The French

ing the former record in 1881 by degrees
What strange coincidence that the low
est and highest temperature ever known
here should occur within only less than
eight months of each other. The fact that
this happened during the war gives open
ing for opinion that the conflict was in
some way or other responsible for these
abnormalities. The mental attitude of the
public toward a theory of this nature is
always of great psychological interest, and
the writer and other scientists expected to
hear that these phenomena would generally
be attributed to the war. Reliable scien-
fists, however, have not been able to find
any connection between the weather and
gunfire, the use of gases liquid fire, etc
The alleged connection between rainfall
and gunfire is a we'll worn controversy in
Europe, where during the wet periods in
