j. S. AND COLOMBIA
REACH AGREEMENT
T0END OLD CRISIS
Senate Committee About to
Report Treaty Giving Latin
American Nation $685.
100000 for Canal Rights.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
(The News SolmItar's Special Core
spondent,)

WASHINGTON, June 2~O.-Sixteen
years have elapsed since the people of
Panalna, by a sudden revolutionary
movement, separated themselves from
colombia, set up a republican form of
government and ~ hours afterward
were recognized by the government OF
the United States.
BY that action the building Of the
Panama canal was made Immediately
possible because the negotiations for
purchase a been carried on without
seeming prospect of success.
But, while the canal was built and
was opened to the world, the prestige
OF the United states. throughout Latin
America suffered a decline. Repeatedly
Colombia asked for payment Of dam
ages, but again and again was turned
down by the senate of the United
States.
Today all Is changed. The United
states and Colombia have just reached
an agreement whereby the difficulties
and strained relations between the two
countries will be removed. And the
senate foreign relations committee is
ABOUT to report favorably q new treaty
giving Colombia $25, 600, 900 for her
rights in the canal zone.
No Expression of Regret.
The treaty contains no expression of
regret or apology that differences have
arisen between the two countries, Such
a proposal was included when the treaty
was being negotiated by the Taft ad-
ministration when Philander G. Knox
was secretary of state, and il was in
GUIDED again when President Wilson,
through Secretaries Bryan and Lansing,
made repeated efforts to get the treaty
through the senate.
But the influence Of Theodore Roose-
Xelt kept the pact from being ratified.
he considered that regret or apology
was an admission Of completely by TIE
United states in the revolutionary
movement by which Panama was born.
he vigorously denied all such inslnu-
atoms in a special message to congress
In 1904; though afterward he did say in
a public address; II took Panama and
talked about 1t afterward."
This has since been regarded as an
admission Of seizure, though his friends
have justified that course on the ground
that colombia was blocking a great en-
terprise by holding UP the United states
for a bigger price.

Columbia Satisfied.

Colombia would have lived 1t better
" the treaty had contained an EXPIRES
sion of regret, but Is satisfied because
two administrations, Republican as well
as Democratic, actually signed such a
document n submitted II to the
American senate. So far as Colombia is
concerned, she considers this action on
the part of the executive branch of
our government as sufficient expression
of the desire of the United States gov
ernment as well as an overwhelming
body OF American citizens.
The payment Of the S25, 900, goo is in
itself compensation which Colombia will
consider arises from the treatment she
received in 1908. No one will be able
TO prevent Colombia from constituting
the S25, 600, 900 or any other sun OF
money as confirming her views.
But throughout Latin America the
Importance of a settlement OF the Co.

Department Statement.

Tho department Of state, in .Ju,y.
1918, met this argument with a state
meht which said In part: III It is con-
ended that the price offered by the
united states prior to Panama's sepa-
ration was a reasonable one, and that
Colombia ought to have accented II.
that valuation cannot be reduced mere
ly because Colombia was not willing to
accept the offer, The price then offered
was approximately SIT, 500, 600. But
when this price was offered, 1t was un-
derstood that Colombia would retain the
state of Panama and have the advan-
tage to be derived from proximity to
me canal What justice or fairness can
there be In the proposition that Colom-
bia, having refused to accent a fair
price, Is not entitled to any damages at
allY The payment. of the s25, o0n, 900 is
nly reasonable compensation for
damages actually suffered. damages
that ought to be paid. no matter what
theory. one adopts in regard to the ac-
ton OF the United States or the action
Of Colombia In 1909"
That has really remained the status
Of the case since 1914. Occasionally an
effort has been made since then TO
press the treaty through the American
senate, but UNNECESSARILY. Senator
Lodge, intimate friend Of Col. Roose-
welt, would not permit the treaty TO be
ratified, 10 he could command more
than one-thtrd OF the membership of
the senate, even though his party was
in the minority.
Now. Lodge, as chairman of the for
eign relations committee, has outlined
the amendments which would be ac-
ceptable to him, and one of them was
an elimination Of the apology clause.
Acting Secretary of State Polk and
senators Lodge and Knox have been
In frequent conference, and the posi-.
ton Of the senate was made clear to
the Colombian government, which now
has accepted all the amendments, elm
nations and changes proposed.
So the treaty is in such form that
Senator Lodge feels he can champion
Its ratification on the floor of the
senate. He will be assisted, too, by
Senator Knox, who, as secretary of
state, saw the merit OF Colombia's
claims. Indeed, Dubois, the American
minister to Colombia under Secretary
Knox's administration of the depart
ment of state, estimated Colombia's re-
versionary rights at about SAT. 600. 900.

GEN. BARNETT REPLIES
TO Marines PROTEST
Enlisted Men Reassured as to
Process of Demobilization; No
Unfairness Practiced.

Mai Gen. Barnett, commandant OF
the Marine Corps. has issued a state
ment in reply to recent complaints of
delay in discharging marines serving
in Haiti. Santo Domingo and Cuba,
who enlisted for the war emergency
under the impression that they would
be sent to Europe.
There has been no unfairness prac-
ticed in this connection" said Gen.
Barnett THE observation-disclosures
men enlisted for the duration of the
war. or until the end of the emer-
gency, and the end of the emergency
has not vet been announced. When
rehabilitation was started the Ma
rine Corps released those VINO had
members of their immediate families
absolutely dependent upon them for
possible, orders were issued extend-
ing the discharges to two other
classes, namely, young n e., who wish
ed to complete their education and
those who wished to enter agricul-
tural pursuits. Men in these two
pendents, are now being released as
rapidly as il is possible to do so.
"A very large proportion of the
IS. 900 marines who answered the call
for the war enlisted for the duration
of the war only, and i. is manifestly
evident that they could not all be dis
charged at once, for it is necessary
to keep the service going. 1t is hoped,
however, that in the near future all
wartime men will be out, and those
who elect to remain until the end
may do so with the knowledge that
there is no unfairness being prac-
ticed, and that everything that is pos
sible is being done to relieve them at
the earliest possible date"

toned regarding his attitude and

to have originated several centuries
ago, when a large body of women
rose against the government and

PERsHINe STRATEGY WON

It will take time to determine General Pershing's place in history but the evidence that is leaking out regarding some of his achievements is already indicating for him high pe- destaL
 Clemenceau once remarked to an American: Your General Pershing is the most stubborn man I ever met. and I am not forgetting that you have President Wilson" This ut terance obtains historic significance when it is understood that it referred 10 the persistence with which General Pershing maintained his regard for the American army and the, way it should be used. l. was this persist ence, it seems, that was largely re- sponsible in inducing Marshal Foch to launch the Soissons-Chauteau Thierry counter offensive on July IS, 1918, which definitely turned the tide of battle. We have the American gen erals testimony in his famous dis patch covering operations in Trance, in which after reciting the situation leading up to the allied counter blow Pershing said The great force of the German Chateau -Thierry often sive established the deep Marne sa- lient. but the enemy was taking chances and the vulnerability of this pocket to attack might be turned to his disadvantage. Seizing this op- poriunity to support my conviction every division with any sort of train ing was made available for use in a counter offensive"
 The climax of the war as the gen eraI said this week came with the breaking of the German line at Sedan on the Mouse by Americans. But long before, when the Americans emerged from the Forest of Villiers- Cotterets and started toward the Aisne, the last act in the drama had it's beginning and Pershing was apparently the de- cisive factor. the dominant figure, in staging it.

BOSTON POLICE STRIKE.

The present chaotic and near Bol- shevist conditions in Boston because of the strike of the policemen furnish the best possible argument against the application of the union principle to bodies of public servants. These striking policemen are public servants charged with the duty of protecting life and property. but they are shift ing their allegiance to an authority higher than that of the public. They are striking in support of men who are guilty of one of the gravest of lenses policeman can De guilty of that is, disobedience of orders. As well might we expect soldiers strike. Obedience to orders is cardi- nal in the duties of a soldier or a policeman.
 Whether it De soldiers, policemen. or firemen there can De no recognition of their right to belong to any or ganization, membership in which might involve the necessity of a strike These people are servants of the pub lie. paid by the public and charged with duties to the public that they must perform. Of course. if individ uals are not satisfied they have a right to quit. But they have no right to organize for strike purposes, or to strike. They can have no supporters but the public authorities Who rep resent all the people.
 There is no obHga tion on any man requiring him to continue to be a po- iccman. But there is the strongest sort of obligation binding him, as long as he is a member of the force, to obey orders and to maintain and uphold discipline. He can have no supefiors except those whom the law sets over him, and no duty except to the people who pay him and whoha he protects. This is all elementary, but 1t seems necessary at this time to enforce the principle, and to make it so clear that no one can mistake it.
