A NEW TRIPLE. ALLIANCE

Growing out of the peace negotiations at Versailles
is a proposal for a triple alliance of a rather novel sort,
to which, if the plans are approved. France, Great Brit
ain and the United States will be parties. The compact
is in the form of two treaties. one between France and
Great Britain, and the other between France and the
United States. By the terms of the treaty. each Of the
two other countries agrees, under certain conditions. to
provoked attack on the latter by Germany. A feature
which,. though not entirely new, is unusual, is that the
treaty is not a compact for mutual defence, no matter
which party is attacked, but one in which two of the par
ties agree to come to the aid of the third, without any
corresponding obligation on the part of Great Britain
and the United states to each other, or on the part of
France with respect to either of them.
The treaty must be considered, not as a declaration of
principle in general terms, but as representing an at
tempt to meet in a practical way, certain particular and
definite conditions. The disarmament of Germany re-
moves from most of the nations anything like immedi-
ate menace from that quarter, and the terms of the con-
stitution of the League of Nations are such that most ma
tons will be satisfied that they afford substantial Sc
curity against future war. France occupies a peculiar
situation. Twice within half a century she has been
threatened with destruction by German aggression. The
first time she came through the ordeal with immense
loss in men and substance, and only her marvellous pow
es of recuperation made possible her rehabilitation. This
time she energies from the conflict as one Of the victo-
r1OuS group, ana ner statesmen determined, naturally and
properly. that nothing should be overlooked which would
protest her against similar risks in the future. Her as
sociates in the war, and in the work of making peace, did
not think it wise to approve in full the conditions which
France sought to have imposed as to the future of the
territory along the Rhine, but in lieu of certain Of those
conditions the representatives OF Great Britain and the
United States approved the arrangement by which the
other two great nations should be bound to protect France
against unprovoked aggression.
By its terms this treaty supplements the compact
for the League of Nations, and it will be void if the larger
measure should fail. To the league council, moreover, 10
entrusted the duty of determining when the conditions call
for action under the treaty. The treaty is to be submit
ted, like all treaties, to the American senate, and the
French and British parliaments will also vote omit. The
French chamber will accept it, of course. It's approval by
the British parliament is forecast in the enthusiastic re-
ception which was accorded the mention made Of It in the
premier's speech the other day. In our senate it may be
expected to have the same support and the same opposi-
ton that will be given to the peace treaty with its provis-
ions for the League of Nations.

TRYING THE EX-KAISER

It Is now definitely established that Wtllam Honen-
xeilern will be placed OF. trial for the part that he played
in connection with the war, unless, in the meantime, ne
should die or disappear. A common form OF statement
lis that in it's treatment Of the criminal Society should
proceed with three main purposes in view. the reform OF
the criminal, the protection Of society from his further
criminal activities, and the safeguarding of society
through the influence of the lesson, as exemplified in the
case of being treated, that "the way Of the transgressor
is hard With punishment as such. and for the mere
purpose of revenge. we have nothing. to do.
The most optimistic will hardly hope for the reform
of William. How much Of hypocrisy, and how much<ef
sincere and exaggerated egotism there may be in his
makeup it is impossible to tell. But he may be expected
to persist in the two lines of defense, first. that in causing
the war he did only what he had a nght to do, as the
supreme overload, accountable to nobody; and second,
that he didn't cause the war, anyway. Admission of
wrong-doing, and protestations of repentance are not to,
be expected from him. --
As to any danger to the world from this man in the
future, that thought may be dismissed. There never was
a cheaper sham than that which invested William Hohen-
zollern with the trappings of greatness. Stripped of the
tinsel of the office which he abused he makes a pitiful
and contemplate figure. For him there will be no re-,
turn from Elba, for that requires a man. The imperial
bubble has burst, and it can never be restored.
There will be an impressive lesson for the world in
the trial of high dignitaries for offenses against civihza-
ton. In that trial notice will be served to all future gem
erations that no title and no position will suffice to -en-
able men to escape the penalties appropriate to their
misdeeds. BY no means the least important feature of
the trial will be the authoritative record which will be e-
tablished. a record which will make possible a better un-
Outstanding of the war and its causes than any other'sin-
gle thing.

THE TRACED Y AT MINOR

In addition to the feeling Of %neighborly sympathy
which will be felt here for those who suffered in the aer-
oplane accident at Minot, the tragedy comes with special
force to the people Of Grand Forks. because one of the
victims, Mrs. c. j. Fisk, was for years a resident of this
city. and numbered many very warm friends among our
people.
To Judge Fisk. an old and honored resident of Grand
Forks, and to tho children who have been thus suddenly
bereaved, the hearts Of the people Of Grand Forks will 60
out In. sympathy in the blow that has fallen upon. them
with sudden and crushing weight.

CHAPTER III.

E
Almost in front Of the house stood a
closed carriage with two fine horses,
but the coachman was looking up
anxionsly toward the next building.
The sound of the closing door drew
the mans attention, and, catching
IGordon's eye, he made as if to Jump
down n throw open the door Of the
carriage. Quick as a flash, Gordon
saw he. had been mistaken for the
man the carriage awaited, and he de-
termined to make use of the circum-
stance.
Don't get down." he Called to the
already. iii open the door. Drive
for all you're worth" He jumped in
u slammed the carriage door be-
mind him, and in a second more the
horses were flying down the street.
A glance from the back window
showed an excited group Of his fell
low-guests standing at the open door
OF the mansion he had just left
pointing toward his carriage !, and
wildly ge%sticulating. He surmised that
MS host was already at the telephone
calling for his own private detective.
Gordon could scarcely believe his
senses hat he had accomplished his
mission and fight so far, and yet he
knew his situation was most pre-
carious. Where he was going he
neither knew nor cared. When he
was sure he was far enough from the
house he would call to the driver and
make sure thai the precious paper
was safely slowed away. in case he
Should be caught and searched. They
might be coming after him with
motorcycles in a minute or two.
Carefully rolling the paper into a
tiny compass, he slipped it into a hol-
low gold case which was among the
things. in the envelope the chief had
given him. There was a fine chain at
tached to the case, and the whole
looked innocently like a gold pencil.
The chain he slipped about his neck,
dropping the s. down inside his
collar. That done he breathed more
freely, Only from his dead body
should they take hat away. Then he
hastily put on the false eyebrows,
mustache. and goatee which had bee
provided for his disguise, and pulling
on a pair of light gloves he felt more
fit to eyade detection.
He was just beginning to think
abo%ut~taking him to the station, for it
was important that he get out of the
city at once. when, glancing out of the
window to see what part of the city
he was being taken through he be-
came aware Of an auto close beside
the carriage keeping pace with it, and
two men stretching their necks as if
to look into the carriage window" at
him. He withdrew to the shadow in
stantly SO that they could not see
him, but the quick glance he had
made him sur that one of his pur-i
suers was the short thick-set man
with the crue1 law who had sat acr0ss
from him at the dinner table a few
minutes before. If this were so he
had practically no chance at all of es-
cape, for what was a carriage against
a swift moving car and what was he
against a whole city full of strangers
and enemies? If he attempted to drop
from the carriage on the other side
and escape into the darkness he had
but a chance of a thousand at not
being seen. and he could not hope to
hide and get away in this unknown
