Unreasoning Panic Develops.

A kind of unreasoning panic develop

the problems were of unparalleled diff

President Wilson had to bear the
brunt of the criticism He was not
only the outstanding figure, but be-
cause of his action in reasserting the
decision made in January by the con-
ference to incorporate the covenant
of the league with the treaty he was
charged with delaying the peace. Part
of this criticism was due to the un-
reasoning popular fear OF which I
have spoken-the utter WEAKNESS Of
Europe with the war and the desire to
get the soldiers home again--but a
large part was also due to reactionary
forces which deliberately used this
popular Impotence in order to stam-

REPLY TO THE, GERMANS.

It now appears that the reply to the German rem monstrance against the terms of the peace treaty will he ready and forwarded to the Roche by Saturday night, with five days given as the maximum allowance for agree further controversy. After extended arguments, the treaty remains prac- tically as written at first.
 The addenda to the document-or the reply to the German remon- strance-is to take the form of further explanations of the original treaty and man government that it is not as badly treated by the terms as it imagines. The Silesian situation will be settled through a plebscite, the amount of indemnity will be fixed very soon. and Germany will be allowed to enter the Leag of Nations as soon as she is covers the reply. The intents of the various clauses of the treaty will be thoroughly explained and the Ger mans shown that they have placed the wrong interpretation on some of them in the new reply.
 The Allies, according to predictions, will disclaim any intention of crushing or enslaving Germany through the terms of the peace treaty. They will merely insist upon her agreeing with the treaty as insurance that sine will not again be in a position to upset the world by military action. The army of occupation will be made smaller, and withdrawn when the time comes.
 It was natural that Germany should do all she could to secure modifca- tiors of any terms she might have received- Whatever the Allies de- n1anded WAS sure to prove too much, unless the Germans saw that there was no possibility of getting away from their acts any easier Their remon- strance has been made. as night have been expected, has been taken cog nizance of, ana replied to. Now she must sign. Tt9has been stated from Germany that she would not agree unless certain material changes were made in the treaty. She has gone on record to that effect. An argument in goyernm ent circles over the terms
 
 will follow. Whether the note makes . any material changes in the original treaty or not is perfectly obvious from the allied side. Probably the German

% THE WIRE STRIKE.

The nationwide wire strike which, Eve are told, began Wednesday and (which is supposedly still under way seems to be~a failure as far as it's threat to tie up communication about \ the country. goes. We read in the
 newspapers statemenss by the head of
 the union which called the strike and the officials of the Companies which are involved. Both sides give Tout conf1icting storieS<of the effectiveness Of the walkout, the union leader being particularly firm in his announcements
 that the country is in worse condition
 than his opponent makes it seem. From the point of view of an outsider
 there is no apparent trouble. Wire
 condSions are not tied up ing any narfffer which is evident to us. tDis-
 patches are coming through with their usual regularity and the train system
 is unaffected. Possibly the cables are
 York offices are the most strongly,
 organized, but the general public is anot affected by the strike.
 That the trouble so far has been a
 failure is proved by the plans for fur
 ther action that are now being dis
 cussed. It is proposed to call out
 operators on leased lines-that is,
 brokers operators and so forth-and . railroad operators have been in-
 structed not to handle commercial
 telegrams, with the further proba bility
 that they will be called out on com-
 plete strike. These acts on the pagt
 of union leaders are a confessionx xof

LABOR TROUBLE IN THIS CITY.

.t Calamity hoWlers were given an sopportunity to say 1T told you so'' ! Yesterday, when about half a hundred
 employees of a local factory went out on strike. Labor troubles in New ~ Britain have been freely predicted for A some time owing to the general spirit sgof unrest about the country, and the surprise has been that there has not
 been greater difficulty before this. Tfe strike at Corbin's amounts to Epracticaay nothing. Only a few
 naolders, decided to quit, and did so. TT fleA molder's trade is particularly
 given to striking because of the nature ! of the members work. Hot weather s.and molding is a combination that is &xSremely trying to men and the NAdvef9tsof summer usually sees a walk out of these tradesmen in one factory

 quietly to their homes. There has been no crowd evident about the cen 2 ter and the customary little knots of E9men standing talking on the curhs are ,Sflot to be seen. It is apparent that
 this strike is not important and that it is not a forerunner of further trou- ble. The orderly manner with which
 1t is being conducted gives a great hsdeai of confidence in the New Britain

John (. SpoOnCr.

(NeW York Timcs)
 When Senator SpoOner resicned from the senate in 1907 he was the ablest man in it. He did not leave his life behind there. and his place has never been filled. Early in his first term in the senate, which began in 1885, he showed the rcmarka blc qualities of intellect, the clearness and sharpness of mental vision. the aCutCness the learning, and the un- failing common sense that were to make him, in his too short term of public service, covering only sixteen years, perhaps the most constructive and the most useful statesman at Washington. His readiness and bril- liancY in debate. the almost ency- clopedic variety of the subjects which he discussed, his mastery of interna- tional as of constitutional law. were in a sense, the cause of an imperfect general appreciation Of his gifts and labors. Specialists in finance or eco monies or international law, men lik Q John Sherman. Nelson ". Aldrich Cushman K. Davis, presented but Q single facet to the popular ina gina D ton or m emory of them.

rapidly in these days of cheap money. Many a good living is made from the person with a small income, little knovledge of business and a desire to become aHluent imm ediatelT. Even the best of business men find it hard to refrain from biting at particularly attractive propositions promising ouiclz and large returns, as hassbeen proved by inventories of theNestates of deceased business men. There is practically none that does not show .,ovo,a1 shares of stoek of mo value."
 The forced saving in rule during the wass the large purchases of Liberty BoEds that have taken place, have brought about a harvest for the promoter of useless propositions. Many people who never before saved any money find themselves possessed of a few hundred dollars worth of LibertM Bonds. The interest looks small, the owner calculates that he may convert LueJli llLO SOlntlIllllS which will bring bigger returns, decides that there is no patriotic reason for holding them any longer, and furnishes fine ground for the suave salesman of false securities who is perfectly willing to exchange prom ises and ni4ely. printed certificates for United States bonds. This he has been doieg, and doing we'll. Fortunes in oil are tempting the sucl1er-public just now. Oil stocks are fine for the promoter also. He need have only. shadowy interest in a few acres of a smart tongue to get by. It is we'll known that enormous fortunes from small starts have been made when oil was struck, and the investor is usually willing to take a chance. Tn nine cases out of ten he does not take a chance at all. He delivers the money or the bonds. The salesman takes the chance-that of runninss foul of the Federal Postal regulations-but he has been doing that for years and thinks he is immune. |
 The activitie41 1kof illegitimate pro- motors have recgntly been subjected to a thorough Investigation by Federal agents, owing to the known fact that Liberty Bonds were being trafficked in a. great deal more than was warranted. tAn amusing instance was uncovered in New York recently when it was found that 6ne woman was receiving fifteen dollars for each prospect that she reported to headquarters. Know ing the prosrncts, the agents found the rest easy. Investigations already made have proved that the govern ment means to do all that is possible to save the bondholders from them selves in the future. The shame Of the whole matter is that it Is neces- sary to do so. If you have no knowl- edge of what you are buying from comparative stranger, hang onto your bonds, no matter how good his prom- ises sound, is good advice for all.
