Won BERNsToRFF AS DELEGATE

Count Won Bernstorff was probably
appointed one of the German delegates
to the peace conference in expectation
that his personal acquaintance with the
American delegates and his intimate
knowledge of American affairs would
be useful in securing easy terms. He has
the advantage of knowing Colonel House
as a "dear friend" and as an "honesS pac-
fist" and just the man to fight for Viii
sons peace programme, as he is quoted
by the Berlin Tageblatt as having said.
But it will surely embarass the Colonel
to be reminded that he told the Count
repeatedly that "he had just as energet-
ically protested in London against the
British blocade as the U-boat war" since
his country afterwards became patty to
that blocade.
If the Germans expect to win any
points in Paris by sending the Count to
represent them, they are either greatly
mistaken or the American delegates have
very short memories. Count Won Berns-
torff, while enjoying the privileges OF
Ambassador and the hospitality of this
country conducted conspiracy against
its peace and the lives and property of its
clClAeIlS. he ilIeu mugs w pioW uP oiiiPo
and buildings and agitators to foment
strikes. Through him the traitor Boo
was supplied with money to buy Paris
newspapers for the purpose of breaking
down the fighting spirit of the French
people.
For doing much less than he did, All
bassadors of other countries have been
expelled from the United States No
President who respected himself and his
country would receive him as Ambassa-
dor. His appointment is one among many
evidences that the only crime which the
German people realize that they commit
ted is failure. Refusal to deal with tie
chief pro-German conspirator in the I'm
ited States would be a needed rebuke,-

Congress- who enacted it did not see it's
confused futility that is indeed mystery
for there are as keen lawyers in Con-
gress as may be found in the country. If
it was drawn and passed to serve a make
shift political purpose with the set in
tention of rendering enforcement an i'm
possibility, then the reason for wording
the amendment as it stands is obvious.
This theory, too, might possibly throw
some light of explanation on the aston
ishing spectacle of forty State legislators
fairly stumbling over each other in their
exultant eagerness to ratify measure
which every one of the scores of BRIGHT
lawyers in such legislatures must have
known was fatally handicapped, SO far
as enforcement is concerned.
1t is not pleasing spectacle from anv
angle of observation. It suggests that
the legislators involved were dolts mr.
hypocrites. It furthermore betrays a dis
heartening levity of intelligence or char
acter, or both, in approaching SO serious
a matter as amending the Constitution
of the United States-The Weekly.

FORD COUNTY

1t is not surprising that Judge Mandell
of the Wayne County Circuit court grant
ed the Chicago Tribune change Of ven
ue for the trial of Henry Ford's suit
against it for $1,000,000. 1t was shown
to the court that to thousands and tens of
thousands of people in Wayne county
Mr.. Ford's word was law. To them he is
"a lord of creation, much after the manner
lof another age which held that 1.-THE king
can do no wrong" He marshals his myr-
midons in battahons and brigades, and
officers them for political purposes with
bankers and manufacturers who do busl-
ness with him. Fifty-one thousand men
and their dependents live ION his indus
trial institutions, and at good wages.
Though the rest of the state of Michigan
rejected him for United States senator
bysome $4,000 votes, the people of Wayne
county accepted him by upwards of
I25,0O0. That an unprecedented judgment
of the case is more likely to be assured
elsewhere seems obvious.
One piece of testimony submitted in the
hearing before Judge Mandell illumines
the sinister possibilities of this centrali-
cation of power in one individual. 1t is
the testimony of John w. Smith, chief
deputy under Former County Clerk Oak
man and it is the testimony that stands as
yet unrefuted Atdhe solicitation of Mr..

A NON-ENFORCEABLE AMEND
MENT


hibition, lays its fingers on a weakness
in the recently ratified prohibition am
endment to the Constitution which prom
Uses indefinite delay in giving vitality to
the measure, even if it does not result
in its ultimate defeat.
The joint Congressional resolution just
endorsed by the Legislators of forty
States, four more than necessary, as 4
Constitutional amendment, makes no
provision for enforcement. That must
be provided by other legislation. But
there is no provision designating the leg
islators who are to enact these enforce
ment laws. This vital question is left in
a state of such confusion that the temp
tation is strong to regard as deliberate
the actual ineptitude in that respect of
the Joint Resolution as it was passed by
both houses of Congress. The enforce
ment clause of the Resolution as it went
to the States for their ratification, and
was by forty of them so ratified, is as
follows:
"The Congress and the several states
shall have concurrent power to enforce
this Article by appropriate legislation.
and Senate of Congress and between the
Houses and Senates of the several states
is understandable. 1t means entire agree
ment ON every detail of any measure in
troduced. 1t means that House and Sem
ate must separately pass identically the
same bill. But how it this concurrence
between the Federal Congress and the
Legislatures of the several States to be
established? Is an enforcement act passed
by both branches of Congress to go from
Congress, as an Upper House, to forty
eight State Legislatures, as a Lower
House, for concurrence? And suppose all
these forty-eight Legislatures do not act
as one, but as forty-eight? Suppose each
of them enacts an enforcement law diff
ferent from all the others, and none of
them in agreement with the Federal law :?
That is not beyond the bounds of posi-
bility, even if it is more improbable than
that only state here and there fails to
approve the Federal measure. In either
case there would be failure of Congress
and the several states to concur" and
without that concurrence in methods of
enforcement there would be failure l
power to enforce, for power to enforce H

POSTAL SAVINGS GREW

while, postal savings simply marked
time accepting only such business as
came to the postoffices unsolicited.
The postal savings banks are largely
patronized by wage-earners Of foreign
birth. These people are familiar with
similar institutions conducted in their
native countries and naturally turn to
our postal banks to take care of their
saving, thus ~evidencing their unbounded
confidence in the United States and its
promise to pay back the product of
their toll and sacrifice the moment they
ask for it,
Thousands of postal savings depos-

garian Republic Makes
Escape From Hungary.

BERLIN, July 49, CBy the Associated
Press Count Michael ksrotyi. former
president of the Hungarian republic,

tempts to leave Hungary and will go
to America, according TO a Vienna DIS
patch to the Hreuz Zeitung.
Several weeks ago. II Is said, Count
Karolyi escaped to Austria. but he was
made prisoner by the Austrians and re-
turned TO Budapest. The count, the dis
patch adds, then sought and procured
the assistance Of the Italian military
authorities who sent him in charge Of
a guard TO Italy by way of Innsbruck.
The Vienna dispatch concludes:
He will, however, have to leave
Italy for America Immediately"
When the armistice with Austria
Hungary was signed last November.
Count Michael karolyi, who had been
the leader Of the Hungarian independent
party, proclaimed a Hungarian reDublic
He remained In office until late IN
March when he resigned and turned
over the authority to the communists,
headed by Bella Kun. He gave as a
reason for his action the plea that he
could not recognize the boundaries Of
Hungary as outlined by the peace con-
ference.
Advices received in peace conference
circles in Paris Thursday said that Bella
Kun had been driven from office and
that disorders had occurred In Buda-
pest. 1t was declared hat the Hun
garian communist army was dislnte-
grating rapidly. Herr Boehm and Herr
Lander were said to have seized the
reins of power.
Count Karolyi sailed from New York
for Europe after a visit Of several
months in the United States, July 20,
1914. He was detained by the French
authorities for several months, but was
finally permitted to proceed to Hun
gary.
