what the Heart OF the World Must
Have, or Breaki

Twice in his American speeches
President WILSON has used phrase
indicating that the people of this
globe are, in the aggregate, afflicted
with strange cardiac fragllity. Yes
terday, in pleading for his League of
Nations, he exclaimed:
Dare We reject It and break the
heart of the world?'
As we understand Mr.. WILSON and
his Covenant, this tragedy will occur
under any or all of the following cir
cumstances:
Unless the United States agrees to
use Its soldiers and money to an I'M
limited extent to preserve against ex-
ternal aggression the territorial integ-
rity and existing political independ-
ence Of all members of the League
including the British Empire with her
ireland and her India, Japan with her
Corea, &C., &C.
Unless the United States agrees
that every tribal war in Africa shall
become q matter Of concern to1t.
Unless the United States agrees to
let Europe, which does not under
stand the Western Hemisphere, act
rs the nrbiter in any dispute we may
have with Mexico.
Unless the United States agrees to
contribute an indefinite amount of
money for the expenses of the League
of Nations and the Leagues multifa-
rious activities.
Unless the United States admits
that the Monroe Doctrine is "a re-
gional understanding"
Unless the United States surrenders
its war making powers and abandons
its Constitution.
Assuming-and we do not believe it
for a minute-that the heart of the
world will break If all these things
are not done, we could have but one
answer:
Let 1t break!

Crop Wealth In Bounty rs Well rs
Dollar Marks.

To give us an idea Of our prodiglous
agricultural wealth this year Washing.
ton makes a statement as to our pro-
duction and estimated production Of
wheat, of corn, of rice. of oats, of Do
tatoes, of rye and Of hay. expressed in
dollar marks. Thus the value of
wheat corn and oats combined
amounts, based on July farm prices,
to more than eight billions Of dollars.
But you cannot eat dollar marks.
dollar isn't an economic thing; a
dollar is n financial thought What
you must have to keep from being
hungry is the economic thing-the
wheat Itself, the corn, the rice and
the potatoes.
Half billion bushels OF wheat at
five dollars bushel would represent
more dollar marks of wheat than two
billion bushels of wheat at dollar a
bushel. But for the consumers Of this
country and for the consumers Of the
world the vaster wealth in economic
things would be in the two billion
bushels of wheat to fill the national
stomach rs against the half billion
bushels TO dazzle the national eyes In
dollar marks.
What tho wheat crop means as
food 10 not expressed IN its farm value
Of two and half billion OF dollars
but In Its bread substance of about
one and a quarter billion bushels.
The wealth of our corn is not that

estimated in Washington, OF $4,7es,-
475,000. 1t Is that the crvp promise
Of corn Is upward of three billions Of
bushels-corn which can be eaten by
man, corn which can be fed to cattle,

corn which, with hay. can and does
insure a national supply OF milk. but

Our economic wealth in many
productive fields this year is nothing

wealth. We ore not taking out the

We slipped the ropes at Singapore.

We shot into a bank Of clouds
That hid the open sea.

We wallowed through the sky.

THE CHANGED OUTLOOK.
Airships. Simple Natives and an Old
View of Bacchus.

Tc THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sfr: Re
ferring to your editorial article regard
ing Edgar Allan Poe's prophecy, may
I refc- to Washington Irving's "knick-
erbooksrs History of New York." in
which, In Chapter V. he says:
Neither would tho prodigy OF sailing
IN the air and cruising among the stars
be a whit more astonishing and incom-
prehenslble TO us than was the Euro
pean mystery OF navigating floating cas-
ties through the world OF waters TO the
simple natives
Apropos OF the great question. even
BuIfnch had Ideas when he, In his Age
of Fable" thus describes Bacchus;
Tho god OF wine was the son Of Jupi-
ter and Semele. He represented not
only the intoxicating power OF wine but
its social and benencent influences like
wise, so that he Is viewed as the pro-
moter Of civilization and a lawgiver and
lover OF peace.
Can the "prohibs" swallow that?

Much Of what he said OF the League

service Of humanity; we cannot now
disappoint the expectations the world
has fSfped concerning us" It will
be observed that when the President
says I'VE" he often means az" and
when he says Gus" he often means
me" There Ia no evidence yet that
the recent proceedings at Paris were
marked by any enthusiastic purpose
on the part of the rest Of the world to
force a League Of Nations upon the
American representatives. He Of oil
men must be conscious Of this. And,
strangely enough, Mr.. WILSON'S adj
dress is conceived throughout precisely
as II he had been sent abroad by his
country to bring about that revolution
in the worlds system Of government
which has been his individual idea,
his self-determirei purpose and his
self-Appointed task.
This we believe, is the straight
truth about the report and message
which the returned President deliv-
cred yesterday to the Senate Of the
United States The time may come
when he may have something definite
and responsive to say about the cove
nant Of the League in its relation to
American interests, but the time did
not come yesterday. He has not an
swered single vital objection. When
he does attempt to answer, If such is
bis deferred purpose he will be heard
with respectful attention and i'm
mense interest.
Meanwhile, and in the absence of
a convincing statement from his au-
thoritative lips or pen, THE Sun feels
itself warranted in saying. perhaps
not defnitively but with every reason
able assurance Of probability. that the
outcome will not be the destruction of
Americas control over Americas for
eign relations, or the merging of
Americas sovereignty In any form of
super-government, or the abandon
ment Of the Monroe Doctrine, or the
sunset Of that independence which our
forefathers gained with their glorious
guns and handed down to US as the
most precious legacy a people ever
received.

The Hundredth Anniversary
Susan Warmers Birth.

When In 1851 1.-THE Wide, Wide
World" SUSAN WARMERS first novel,
was published under the pen name of
Elizabeth Wetherell," she was al
most 80 years Of age, for she was
born July IL, 1919. The book for the
first few months seemed complete
failure; in the words OF the publisher
ut appeared to have fallen dead"
Then there came calls for 1t and
finally q surprising demand. "The
Wide, Wide World" was published in
Europe in French, Italian, Russian,
Swedish and Spanish; 1t became the
most popular novel ever written by an
American with the exception of Mrs.
HARRIET BEECHER STOVES Uncle
Toms Cabin"
When Miss WARNER was born in
this city just hundred years ago
to-day her father was successful
member of the New York bar and
the author of several widely read
books. She had the advantage of a
social life which the position Of her
family as long established New York.
ers brought her. Both she and her
sister ANNA, as she has said, were
fond of society and fond of the life
into which they were thrown. 1t was
this experience with life, Of which
she was keenly observant and openly
appreciative, that formed the basis of
that knowledge Of people and the
world which she carried with her
into her retirement to Constitution
Island, and which she wrote into her
excellent stories.
Looking back upon 1.-THE Wide,
Wide World" the reader might Won
der with TAME at the great success
of q "three volume novel devoted to
the moral progress of girl of thir-
teen" 1t could be truthfully said
that the book was without touch of
the melodramatic; it owed nothing to
It's subject, its incidents or an origi-
pallty Of treatment. In fact, GEORGE
p. PUTNAM published 1t against the
advice Of his critic and upon the per-
suaslon OF his mother, who had read
the manuscript. 1t was, perhaps, to
woman that the tenderness and charm
of the work ever afterward made its
strongest appeal.
AS Miss WARNER Is so little known
to the present day reader 1t may not
be amiss to reprint this Characters
tic paragraph from her other great
success, "Queechy," descriptive of her
heroine, FIEDA:
''She opened her old little Bible and
slowly turned over the leaves where
her fathers hand had drawn those
lines OF remark and affection round
many a pAssage-the very look OF
them she knew; but she could not
see II now. for her eyes were dim
and tears were dropping fast into
her lap-she hoped Mr. CARLETON
did not sec them. but she could not
help II: she could not keep the book
out OF the way of being blotted. And
there were other and later associa-
tons she had with II. too--how
dear! how tender how grateful"
Her pages We're often tear drenched
And a generation Of gentle readers
followed her exemplary heroines be-
cause Miss WAHNER knew the art of
