Lieutenant Colonel Ansell and General
Crowder. But it is deeply interested in
the question whether an officer who has
done public service at cost to himself
shall be protected in his rights or shall
be exposed to humiliation at the hands
OF those who dislike him and resent his
criticisms as oficious and trouble
making.

New-York tribune., 1919-03-18

10 Ine unreal TO so entanglo the peace
treaty proper and league of nations pro-
vision as to make amendment impossible
Senator Calder replies that in that
event:
Il shall do all in my power to reject
the entire proposition. l reiterate my
statements that ! am not opposed to a
league of nations nor to any scheme or
alliance that reasonably attempts to re-
strain and guide human nature, but find
nothing in the proposed league of nations
that does not make more for war than for
peace
No other course will be open to a
Senator who respects his oath of Office
and is conscientously opposed to the
covenant. A Senator is custodian of a
great TRUST and may not be false to it.
10 hold otherwise, to admit that the
Executive Department, by an artful az
rangement of words, can erect itself into
the sole treaty making power, is III flat
contravention of the Constitution. The
trick which is advertised as about to be
played will scarcely succeed-partly be-
cause the net has been too openly spread.
Though the treaty as a whole we're
rejected, wars alarums would not again
be heard Peace is a condition, not
document. Peace may be kept between
two nations without any treaty. We
were not at war with China and Japan
during the many years of no treaty
with them. For a long period we had
of differences over the passport ques-
ton, President Taft broke off treaty
relations with that country. No one
would care to assume the responsibility
of hurting our battalions at the foe be-
cause of technical difficulties in regard
to superficial informalities in a treaty
OF peace. Peace in its fundamental as
poets is simply a state of not fighting,
and nothing more. Let US not lose sight
of this reality in fog of words
Moreover, as Mr. Taft has pointed
out IN another connection, a treaty, even
though valid, is not self f-acting Suppos-
ing there was unconditional ratification,
where would the President get the funds
to make it operative? Congress cannot
be mandamused into making appropria-
tions. Indeed, the power over the purse
IS the greatest of the Congressional pre-
negatives, and this Congress has not
yet deemed it worth while to WELD it.
If definite struggle between the two
ends Of Pennsylvania Avenue should
come it will doubtless be fought with
glory for the Senate end. The power of
the President is great, but the power of
Congress is greater, and unless Congress
is willing to sink to the level of the
Senate of Rome when Augustus became
Imperator it can ultimately enforce it's
way concerning major matters.

Our SuperIative Soldiers

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS one whose soul has been moved
to the foundations by the sublimity of this
war, and who has had to reduce, for the
sake of decorum if you will, many pens
up emotions to what one might call "parlor
enthusiasm" it has been a great delight
to read in the columns of your psper'
stripped of all journalistic verbiags, very
moving expression of what should Re III
the heart of every American for the super
lative valor of our armies When SINGER

Understanding the Soldiers
Reading

Tie Tribune recently ventured the
opinion that. judged by the books con-
tributed, the public underestimated the
literary tastes and intellectual stand
ards of American soldiers and sailors.
The view is confirmed by Carl H. Milan,
of the American Library Association,
which is in charge Of collecting reading
matter for the men in the camps. both
here and overseas.
"Whatever the psychologists may have
found out about the American soldiers.n
Mr.. Milan writes, eve librarians have
learned that the soldiers and sailors of
America read everything, and that on
the average the reading taste is higher
than we would have guessed. There has
been, Of course, heavy demand for pop-
ular new fiction. Poetry has been won
derfuly popular, both the old and the
readers"
But the greatest surprise, even to
the members Of the Library Associa
tion, was the discovery that among the
three million soldiers and sailors were
hundreds of thousands Of real students.
few months ago these men were
students of the war game Now, to
very surprising extent, they are students
of business, professions and the trades.
One of the acquisitions for books sent
to the library headquarters here from
the camps in France contains a request
for 500 copies of works on housing and
town planning. In the same list is an
order for q large number Of works on
house decoration, 600 copies of Adams
"Growth of the French Nation" and 700
volumes of Hazen's "Modern European
History"
Also in large demand are books on
electro-chemistry, optometry, public utili-
ties, rate making, municipal accounting
railroad freight rates, embalmng, cleo
trification of steam railways, textile
mills processes and management. indus
trial education, manual training, re-
ligious education, Sunday school ad-
ministration, army baking and cooking
horseshoeing, pageantry, folk dancing
and Latin textbooks. Seed houses are
requested to send their new catalogues,
and the catalogues of 200 universities
and colleges are asked for.
II this list is fair barometer of the
tastes and needs Of our men in uni

"a n EXICO CITY, Feb 26.-Nothing
WI could be more opportune at this
time than the proposed visit to
Mexico Of committee of American, French
and British fnanciers. They will be re-
ceved courteously Hospitality, and it is
the impression here in we'll informed
circles that the government will lay its
cards face up on the table.
But, to quote Mexican gentleman who
knows conditions here, they will find that
revolution has been succeeded by evolution,
that Mexico to-day has sufficient means for
actual expenses, and needs money only for
the purposes of reconstruction. Once
friendly understanding between the two
governments has been reached the financial
situation will quickly right itself, in his
opinion, as it will involve the matter of
credits rather than of cash. And there is
every reason to hope, from the Mexican
point of view, that the few existing differ
ences are now being adjusted in a manner
which will prove satisfactory to both sides.

Blu ALO FRO Mt

Well soon be back from this terrible war,
Covered with honors and medals galore,
Back from chasing the terrible Huns,
Back from the roar and the crash of guns,
Back from doing our duties we'll
Regular heroes we are, like hell.
Yes, We'll soon be back from doing our bit,
Showing courage and proving our grit,
Playing our part in the awful jam,
BY eating some meals on Uncle Sam,
In fact, there is nothing can possibly mar
Our wonderful record of winning the war.
We know what we'll face when we're home
once more,
How they'll kid us and josh us about the
war,
And say were soldiers of peaceful ways,
And we'll hear all that to the end of our
days
And we'll only reply to the boys who kid,
"By God, we tried, and that's more than
you did"

THE DIARY OF OUR OWN SAMUEL pEpYs

March 15-Up at five o'clock, after little
sleep, as | was wakeful because my wife,
poor wretch, coming home and to the
station to meet her, and found her stronger
than in half year, and had breakfast
and then to inn, where all day. Read
Joyce Kimer's books Of poems and essays,
and found one fine poem "Trees" but the
rest farish stuff; which is not to say he
did not die nobly and was not a fine man
and soldier.
16-For walk in the rain, and the rest
of the day in ministcring to my wife, who is
playful; but Fostering me about the kitten
which, in weak moment, I promised her
But | promised it her when we should have
a house. and not while we are at an inn
where kitten would be a great nuisance
to others but us.
Ito the office, where all day at my
stint; thence home and to-bed.
They clutched in their hands the works
of Mr.. Oppenheim, Mr.. Compton Mackenzie,
and Mr. O'Henry-From "1he Secret City."
by Hugh Walpole.
If Mr.. Wapole wrote "Mr. O'Henrv" he
should be chastised not so much for care
iSoSllcoo as Ioi spurious peuuNUTy. NO
body familiar with O. Henry could write
that. An American writer who spoke Of
"Mr. H'' rs "Mr. Boz" would be accused
and justly-in the British press of Yankee
ignorance If the proofroom of the George
H. Doran Company is at fault, there is no ex-
cuse; but in that event we apologize to
Mr.. Walpole.
With the newspaper habit Of early to-
day and Early this morning" this depart
ment has no sympathy. The time of day is
one of the most interesting and important
things in a story. The report of an
accident bearing EARLY to-day" is poor jour-
nalism. The reader wants to know when it
occurred, whether he escaped the hold-up by
ten minutes or six hours, whether he lust
missed the train, whether he was in the
neighborhood at the time.
"Who of this generaton," asks the Times
Book Review, "has read Jane Eyre'?" At
first we were going to answer; but another
query comes to our mind-when does the
last generation first realize that it is no
longer "thS generation"?

is not the monologuc he thought as he lay
in unheatcd billets, in wet trenches, or in
dreary s. o. S. towns, it would be. The folks
at home tell him in detail what they have
been doing, and when his turn comes they
are not interested Perhaps this is as it
should be. Some of the concentrations about
the war are phony; but whoever said that
the American soldier was modest uttered a
pookful.
AS we envisagc Radicalsm, if you go to

moves too fast; it passes you in the night.
Therefore, if you want to remain a Radical,
you cannot afford to sleep. You can't trust
Radicalism out of your sight. That, perhaps,
is why the poor Radical is so tired; but some
of us need the Sleep and stretch
