It looks now as if that peace treaty
will have to, be redrafted-made over
again. The Paris peace conference
recently put nick in the document
which cannot be removed by the ap-
plication of strip Of gummed pa
per when it declared Fiume a separate
state and it's harbor an open port. This
was decided after. a compromise had
been effected between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia. Several other changes have
been made by the peace conference
and the plans submitted by cable to
President Wilson. AS the. president
stirred up the row in the first place
BY refusing to consent to the annexa=
ton Of Fiume to Italy, it will be in
teresting to know how he accepts this
slap in the face by the European
powers: He was not even consulted
in the premises.

It appears that number of govern
ment publications have contained
propaganda in behalf of the league Of
nations, so the joint congressional
committee on printing decided it was
time to call halt and has issued an
order prohibiting the same under
penalty of summary suspension. The
bureau Of education publications ap-
pear to have been the greatest Of
tenders. These books and pamphlets
go mostly to teachers and, according
to an official of the League for the
Preservation Of American Indepen-
dence, they "teach the teachers tc
teach what the administration wants
taught" When Creelism and dena.
tionalization propaganda is injected
into government publications it is
certainly high time to clamp down the
lid.

Harvey's Weewly: ''Try the league,
but keep prepared for war;" is the adj
vice Of General March, chief of staff;
very much modified variant of the
classic *'Trust in God, but keep your
powder dry" The use of poison gas
by Germany was unjustifable, but it
had to be met with similar tactics by
the allies. And if Germany in the late
war thus employed illegal means, there
is no assurance that she or some other
country will not do the same again
Therefore the United States should BIZ
at all times prepared for such an event
Evidently the chief of staff does not
share the presidents confidence in thu
infallibility of the league as proven
tive Of war. =

Theodore Roosevelt Memorial.

lneOOOTe hOOSeVelC memorial.
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial
Park at Oyster Bay is now definitely
assured. 1t ultimately will include the
Roosevelt home on Sycamore Hill,
which will be preserved after the man
ner Of Washington's home at Mount
Vernon and Lincoln's home at SPRING
field, ILL., Plans for a Roosevelt arch
or monument at Washington are still
under consideration by the National
Roosevelt Memorial committee.
The foregoing was announced by
Col. William Boyce Thompson, chair
man of the national committee, at an
organization meeting in the Waldorf
Astoria About sixty delegates from
New York, Delaware, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and the Dis
trict Of Columbia, which constitute the
north Atlantic zone Of the Roosevelt
Memorial association, were present.
Ninety per cent Of the delegates had
been personal friends of Col. Roose-
welt.
| Although Col. Roosevelt was OPP
posed to monuments, it is but right
that this greatest of all Americans"
as he is truly called, should be honored
by a memorial which will last for all
time.

A movement is on foot to unionize
the police forces of the country and
Professor Wilson is up in arms over
the proposition. In telegram s nt by
him from Dunsmuir, CAL, to the
Washington local city government Mr..
Wilson says the organization of the
police forces of this country should
neither be countenanced or permitted.
But who can prevent such organiza-
tons? Not Professor Wilson or any
other man. If the police want to
organize they have perfect right to
so do, but where the rub comes in
is the fact that Wilson has invariably
declared himself in favor Of organized
labor.

Secretary of State Robert Lansing
will probably give up his portfolio.
But what else could be expected when
President Wilson insisted in negotiat-

means the ignoring and casting of

but he has been greatly hampered in
his work by his autocratic master, who
seems to be obsessed with the i'm
preston that he is the worlds dicta-

The Army Foodstuffs Fiasco.

Chicago, September 24.-Huge
quantities Of. government canned
goods fell into the hands of packers,
wholesale grocers, and retailers and
thereby prevented postoffice authori-
ties from filing orders filed by con-
sumers, William Mulvihill, attorney
for the city bureau Of foods, markets
and farm products, charged at the
city's investigation into the high cost
Of living. ~~ IN
Approximately $145,000 worth Of
food was sold through the Chicago
postoffice and only part Of two small
orders have been delivered to the post
master, W. B. Garlic; postmaster,
stated today. @e.
The canned goods "'are being stored
until the public has forgotten there
ever was promise of army goods at
less than one-half of the present retail
1prices," Mr.. Mulvihill asserted. 'Then
fit will be placed on shelves and retailed
at profits that are appalling" ~
A promise of deliveries through the
postoffice commencing with Septem-
Der was the only official information
he had received on the whole matter,
Mr.. Garlic said. "Tnis office has not
been informed by the army depart
ment as to- the cause of delav." he
continued.
Three retail grocers at the hearing
admitted that their stores had sold
army canned goods at more than 100
per cent profit.
This goes to show that even in the
government distribution of foodstuffs
to ostensibly cut down the high cost
of living there is an underlying sys-
TEN of graft which is we'll organized.
