RivalidadGs, GgOiSmOS y Ia pOIitiCa de
partidO matan en- ell Senado de ESta-
dos UnidOS ell Tratado de Paz

Es muy importante que asuntos de
politica international, como estos que
son del dominic pdblico, sean expli-
cados al pueblo que no tiene la facili-
dad de leer la prensa xtranjsra asi
como las revistas mas importantcs al
objeto de poder tensr noci6n de estos
magnos problemas que directa in
directamcnte nos afctan
Ell tratado de paz que estaba dis
cuti6ndose hasta hace poco en- ell Sc
nado de Estados Unidos es uno de
los tratados mas importantes dr. es a
clase, no solo por el numero de nacio-
mes signata.ias sino tambi6n per IA
inclusion del primer capitulo que Sc
refiere a la Liga dn las Naciones. En-
mi concepto es Ell primer tratado del
mundo en- que ell ideal hacia ell bi mes
tar del mnndo ha sido include. Y ESQ,
solo un hombre. quien la Providen.
cia habia escogido para tai obieto. po-
dia presentarlo admi irlo ell mundo
Este hombre es Woodrow Wilson. Los
egoismos Y rivalidades de partido han
querido matar ese ideal, han qusiido
destrozar su obra, Y dadas las con-
dicion"s actuales del Congreso de Es-
tados Unidos, en- donde una mayoria
republicans domina con un Presiden-
te democrats su cabeza,- los p.ime-
ros han conseguido su objeto.
Ell tratado de paz tai como esta
no admite objeciones nj ressrvas como
han querido presentarlas varios sena-
dores. Bien dijo Wilson: este ira
tado no merece que 81 lie tache una
T nj que Sc lie cambien los puntos de
las les. Dado ell interes personal que
tenia cada uno de los miembros re-
presentanees en- Paris, el Tratado de
Paz es uno de los monumentos mas
grandes que despues de los rcsulSados
de esta guerra haya podido ofrecer un
grupo de hombres al mundo 'Si algu-
mas imperfecciones tiene, Ell tempo Sc
encargara de borrarlas. De ahi la me-
cesidad de la Liga de las Naciones,
que venian ser algo asi como ell
cuerpo legislative de la politica inter-
nacional del mundo.
FL senior Coll Cuchi en- una entire
vista que publica este diario ell sa-
bado ultimo nos dice: ''Asi, pues, al
publicarse ell Tratado, la opinion pt-
blica sufrio una verdadera conmocion
cuando supo que los Estados Unidos
con UN SIMPLE voTo alredor de
una mesa CON TAPETE VERDE don
de Sc decidirian las cnestiones mas
whales su honor Y su existencia''..
En- mi concepto no hubo tai conmo-
cion Ell Ell pueblo americana. Todo 10
contrario, ell pueblo americano sabc que
la aprobacion del tratado tai como es-
ia les impediria ell tener que volver
nuevamcnte a Europa a arreglar los
asuntos de esos pueblos que no han

odiarse mutuamente. Los Estados Uni

UNIFIED HOSPITAL
CONTROL Is URGED
Present System Costly to City
and Inefficient, Says DR..
w. H. Conley.

Dissatisfaction with tho present sys-
tenn of management Of the twenty hos
pitfalls under city control was expressed
yesterday before the State Charities
Conference meeting In The Russell SAGE
Foundation building. $50 East Twenty
second street. by DR.. Walter H. Conley,
acting general medical superintendent of
the Department of Public Charities on
Blackwelfs Island. The city is losing
money, there is friction between the
various departments and the nursing
condition is unbalanced" at present, he
declared. He favored unified system
OF control under the Department of
DR.. Conley said that ten hospitals are
now administered by the Department of
Public Charities. FIVE by the Board of
Trustees OF Bellevue and Allied Hos
pitfalls. and five by the Commissioner of
Health He strongly favored taking
away control Of any OF the institutions
from the Department OF Health on the
ground that the chief function OF that
department Is to prevent and detect dis
ease. not to care for the sick.
The budget shows" said DR.. Con-
ley. that different rates OF salaries are
paid in the different departments. This
results in constant friction and agita-
ton among the employees and acts as
deterrent upon conscientious work II
Is also fact that because of three DIFF
ferent departments purchasing the same
kind OF supplies at different times and
under separate contracts 1t is costing
the city more money than It should, and
II would be more economical for the
city to administer these three depart
ments as one. The present unbalanced
condition of nursing would be overcome
to a great extent II the changes 1 pro-
pose were effected"
1.-THE next best proposition in my
mind" he continued. "is a hospital di-
vision in the Department of Public Char
tiles In charge of a medical director ap-
pointed from a civil service list by the
Commissioners"
DR.. George O'Hanlon. general medical
| superintendent OF Bellevue Hospital op-
posed DR.. Conley's plan In the discussion
following. stating that there was no as
surance that the head OF the division of
hospitals would be left alone to work
out a proper scheme OF administration.
Papers were read during the afternoon
| dcploring the lack of cooperation be-
tween public and private charitable in

'ANTI-SALOONISTS TO
ENFORCE PROHIBITION
No Raids on Homes, but War
on Bootleggers Planned.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May IA state
ment issued to-day from headquarters OF
the National Anti-Saloon League Mt
Westerville In answer to many inquiries
as to what the league will do in view OF
statutory and constitutional prohibition
becoming effective soon. asserts that first
and foremost II expects to continue its
work to the extent that prohibition shall
be enforced throughout the nation.
While It is declared by the league that
II will be made impossible for those 30
inclined to set up a kitchen still or q
cellar brewery In his home, nevertheless
prohibitionists recognise the fitting truth
and consistence of the old doctrine that
every mans home IL his castle. Resi-
dences, they say. will not be invaded by
horde Of false whiskered, strong
armed. mprinolpled detectives" There
will be unremitting and relentless war on
the bootlegger, the blind tiger keeper
the moonshiner and the blockade runner
but the decent. reputable citizen need not
fear that his wlfe's bedroom will be In
vaded by an overzealous sleuth search
ing for possible cache in her clothes
closet. says the statement
In short. 1t is pointed out, all that has
been sought or accomplished is prohibi.
ton Of the manufacture, sale. transpor.
tation, Importation and expectation OF
beverage liquor. and now the thing de.
sired IL absolute enforcement of that
prohibition.
The further programme of the lea que
has to do with its part in worldwide
prohibition. 1t does not desire to inter
fere in the affairs of other nations, II
says, but to lend its aid to similar or.
ganizations In foreign countries In theii
lights against the liquor traffic.

mand for all tannages and selections Of

The retail shoe trade is still governed
by local conditions and buying for fall
delivery reflects this situation Any
thing like normal business in the early
fall will develop the fact that many
dealers are unprepared and will not have
sufficient stocks to supply properly the

that retail merchants are not over
