The rigor of the French demands it
is easy to understand and to SYM
pathize with. Put ourselves in the
place Of the French people, who for
at least generation have borne a
heavy burden Of taxation and sacrifice
because of the fear Of Prussian mill
tary power. Realize that this dark
threat was finally realized and France
invaded, her towns and fields .devas-
tated, her sons slaughtered, her
daughters violated, her old men and
women driven pitilessly from their
homes. her very existence as an indie
pendent nation imperiled. No wonder
Frenchmen are saying between
clenched teeth, "This shall not hap
pen again." We who have suffered
SO little, relatively speaking, and for
whom the Prussian danger was COM
paratively Indirect and remote, may
be able to show leniency to Germany
now conquered. We are like the vic
torious boxer who can find some self
approval in shaking hands with a
beaten adversary. But the iron has
entered the French soul. The war
has stricken France heavily and we
cannot blame her for insisting that
the Germans who main tanned auto
cratic militarism until it failed OF it's
purpose should pay for the destruction
wrought and be put in a position from
which for long time they cannot
again endanger France.
Nevertheless, while we can sympa-
thize with this the fact remains that
France, as well as the rest Of the vic
torious belligerents, must be governed
by considerations of expediency The
German people cannot be wiped out,
and no vital people, even a beaten
and distracted people, will submit to
enslavement. Yet if extreme terms
are imposed they will mean the econ
omic, if not the social and political,
enslavement of the Germans for gen.
erations. Even if this were desirable
from the French point of view, If it
were attempted the peace of Paris
would make perpetual disturbance
and future wars as certain as the ris-
ing Of the sun.
In fact, terms such as the French
government seems to be considering
could not be accepted by any German
government. Their acceptance would
mean the immediate fallof Ebert and
in all likelihood bolsIleyist-Sparacan
government. Neither France nor her
allies nor America can afford TO thrust
central Europe into the chaos of boil
shevism.

President Wilson assures the Senate
and the nation the proposed constitu-
ton of the league of nations in no.
wise imperils the Monroe doctrine,
but, on !. the contrary, extends,
strengthens, and revivihes it. The
whole league, he says, with TAFT and
others, will fight to maintain that
doctrine, instead of the United States
alone, as now
Some senators are not convinced OF
this, however, and may insist en-.
amendments or explicit reservations
recognizing the Monroe doctrine. 1t
is well, at this juncture, to revert to
the text Of the declaration made in
1928 by President Monroe. The vital
passage reads as follows:
"With the existing colonies or de-
tendencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall not
interfere, but with the govern
ments who have declared their indie
pendence and maintained it and
whose independence we have, on
great consideration and on just prin-
ciples, acknowledged, we could not
view any interposition for the pur-
pose of depressing them or control
ling in any other manner their des
tiny, by any European power, in any
other light than as the manifestation
of an unfriendly disposition toward
the United States.
It was Democratic president,
Cleveland, who served notice on
Europe and the rest of the world
that the Monroe doctrine was "appli-
cable to every stage Of our national
existence" Since Cleveland every
president has had occasion to invoke
the cherished doctrine and affirm it.
Today President Wilson and former
President Taft solemnly assure the
nation that the proposed constitution
of the league of nations would give
world sanction and universalize it,
There could be under it no interfer-
ence with or encroachment on any
nation or state, American, European,
or other. Such an attempt, it is as
serted, would lead to boycott of or
even to military resistance against
the would-be aggressor.
In principle, then, there is no issue
or disagreement. All recognize that
the Monroe doctrine must stand and
be fully, individually protected. The
only question is, Has this been done,
or does the proposed covenant need
amendment to effectuate the ayowed
purpose? In the opinion Of the Daily
News the covenant should be amend
ed to cover the point specifically.

Blouses of georgette crepe are at
least as numerous as any other kind,
and become soiled as quickly. But
they require special, but not difficult,
treatment in washing and ironing.
This is a work that women do for
themselves, and it is worth while to
do this work for chiffon, light weight
silk. satin and lace blouses. Nearly
everyone has learned something of the
art of tintingN or dyeing blouses, when.
time and wear fade those that are col
ored or yellow those that were white.
Women who have learned how to laun-
der their own fine blouses turn them
out as good as new after unnumbered
washings, or tint them into first one
color and then another, according to
their fancy.
The various manufacturers of dyes
have placed on the market many colors
that may be used for tinting by mix
ing with water. Colored crepe papers,
soaked in water, yield several lovely
tints. But one may get almost any
color desired or match any hue by u.s.
ing tube paints and gasoline as tint
ing medium.
The washing of crepe and other
sheer fabrics is simply matter of
handling them gently. Make warm
suds of water and white soap and dip
the blouse repeatedly in this, squeez-
ing the soiled portions in the hand or
rubbing them very gently. If much
soiled wash through a second suds
and rinse in clear. tepid water. Do
not twist or wiring to dry, but lay in
a towel and run through a wringer.
Do not allow to dry before ironing, but
fold lin a turkish towel for awhile
and iron while damp. Use a moder-
ately hot iron and iron on the wrong
side, stretching the material to it's
proper shape otherwise it will shrink.
Do not allow any part of the waist
to become dry before ironing. If it
is necessary to iron part of a crepe or
silk waist on the right side, owing to
the way in which it is made, place a
thin muslin between the iron and the
fabric.
When crepe waist is to be tinted it
is first washed and rinsed. After that
1t is rinsed in a water to which color
has been added. This color can be
bought in drug stores and sometimes

France and Peace Terms.

The warning of the London Daily
News against the infection of extreme
terms upon Germany seems to US
founded on common sense. The most
favorable terms the Germans can ex-
uect will be severe enough to create a
problem for at least this generation.
But if the burden were made impossi-
bly heavy it would not merely break
the German back but that of Europe
as well.

range and let stand until the sugar is
dissolved. Boil, washing down the
sides to keep it from granting. The
hand may be dipped into cold water
quickly brushing down the sides of
the pan, or swab of white cloth may
be used. Cook the strip until a soft
ball is made when dropped in cold wa

slab or large platter lightly creased.
Do not scrape out the saucepan or al
low the last of the strip to drip from
the pan as any granny portion will

edges with a wooden spoon, turn to-
ward the center, then knead until the
mass is white and firm. Let stand for
an hour or two then pack in bowl,
cover with cloth and let stand over
night. The next day the fondant may
be used, but several days standing
will improve it.
To make bon-bons, add any desired
flavoring and color to a small portion
of fondant, then dip in melted choco-
late or tinted fondant, melted over hot
water.

soft creamy centers.

in other shops. For pink very pretty
tints can be got from red tissue paper,
and lovely yellow hues are obtained in
this way, using much deeper shades of
yellow paper to make them. To get
just the right tint it may be neces-
sary to experiment by first tinting
small pieces of crepe or a portion of
the waist that is covered by the skirt.
The blouse will look lighter when it is
dry than when it is wet. It is better
to deepen the tint by redipping than
to make it too strong at first. The
method of tinting with gasoline will
be given in another article.
