Detectives at headquarters when put

then are brought into Police Court to

Pie and Ruin.
From the London Daily News.

!
The Americans fondness for pie. to
which I was abiding the other day
was the ruin of Emerson. according
to a letter written by one of his
friends Henry ]. Warner: 1T was pie
at breakfast that broke down Emer-
son prematurely: no human being
however well. can live long and keep
his mind unclouded on pie at break
fast. Emerson lost his mind-or
memory-at a much earlier period
than he would have been likely to
pie at breakfast"

This is virtually a recognition that

ly one-half of whom live in Vienna, is
economically Impossible. Austria sim
ply cannot live without the assistance
of her neighbors, who in turn can
hardly live without Austria. This APP
plies especially to the CZechs and
Hungarians who are therefore privi-
legged to form a customs union with
Austria.
Thus the beginnings are laid for the

trying so hard to constitute against
Italy's opposition and against a GER

FEELS PRESIDENT
POINTS TRUE WAY
Writer "Who Saw" Abroad
Hears Address With "Eu-
ropean Ear"
WORLD LOOKS TO U. S.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.


Mote Mr. Bell, the author of this
article, has been for number OF
years London correspondent of The
Star and the Chicago Daily News. In
that capacity ne has been in intimate
touch with European affairs before
while the multitude of problems OF
peace have been settled. He has just
arrived in Washington from abroad.
Has European Understanding.
Sitting in the press gallery of the
United States Senate, while President
Wilson, in measured and sonorous
tones. addressed a large and atten-
tive audience on the treaty of peace
and the work of the Paris conference.

can though ] am, a long experience
across the Atlantic enabled me. at all
events to some extent, to listen with
a European ear and to feel with d
European heart.
And | liked the Presidents speech
1t seemed to me entirely worthy of
great occasion. l felt that all the ap-
plauSe which followed il was justi
fled. l felt that it sounded in UNISON
with the major chords of humanity.
] felt that any party anywhere which
might throw itself athwart the path
of the proposals it voiced would lift
banner of defeat. I felt, in a word.
that the main line of the Presidents
thesis indicated what is and must be
the main line of mankind's advance.
Practical Democracy.
To not a few Americans President
Wilson, in much of his behavior, has
seemed only a lip democrat man
who talked democracy and human
amenity while acting automatically
and f1outing discretion and courtesy
But there was no trace of offenSe, 10
far as I could see. in his Senate ad-
dress. Neither was there any in what
the correspondents just prior to the
address. His manner with the cor
respondents was markedly modest
and respectful, and he invited the
Senate and it's committee on foreign
relations to make full use, formally
and informally. of all the informa ton
he possessed.
Before referring further to the
Presidents remarks l should like to
record two impresSions-one of the
body of newspaper men who assem-
bled to meet Mr.. Wilson and the other
of the audience in the Senate cham

these writers compare favorab1y with
any group of journalists in the world.
Solid men, they looked to me; cult
waited men, serious men. men entitled
by education and character to watch

they were numerous. There were 200
of them. They formed a dense circle
about the President in the conference
room. and later they formed a most
impressive phalanX above his head in
the Senate chamber.

Soberness Marks Address.

AS 1 sat observing the gathering
throng in this legislative hall I
thought how vivid. how animated.
how brightly vocal, as compared with
what one would see and hear in that
immortal cradle of freemen's laws on
the banks of the Thames-the house
of commons. 1t was as if one saw
in two mirrors the two temperaments
of our sea-cloven race. one relatively
grim and silent, the other relatively
sunny and ebullient. 1t was two
surfaces one saw. Then there came
a change.
President Wilson began to speak.
His theme was the theme of human
destiny. No voice in the commons
could have been more sober. Sober
ness settled deep upon the faces of
his hearers and there was not a
move. not a whisper. from end to end
of the main floor and of the galleries.
One saw beneath the two surfaces
to the racial fundamentals of British
American humanity
Speaks Impressing Truths.
And what did the President say?
He said a lot of things that indubita :
bly, are true. He said lot of things
that will command assent-indeed,
that will stir deep popular enthusiasm
in Great Britain and in every other
nation. / fancy. where suffering and
thought have clarified the visions of
men. He spoke of the greatness of
our fighting men. God knows they
showed themselves great, and every
people in Europe acknowledges their
greatness. He said they saved Eu-
rope, saved the world, and so they
did-after many millions of magnifi-
cent Europeans had died to save them
and to save us. All, yes. The soldiers
and sailors of all the allied nations
have done their duty. Their fame is
secure. Let statesmen and politicians
dwell thoughtfully upon their exam
pie.
President Wilson said all the nations
of the world are crying out to their
leaders to stop wars. 1t is so. He
said fleets and armies, made by peo-
Piles in the hope of peace, have proved
a lie. Who will dispute it? He is in
favor of utterly destroying" the old
order of international politics. Who
that has read history or has a mem
DRY will not agree? Terror lies con-
cealed in every balance of power
yes, terror. war, an imminent univer-
sal maeLstrom of anarchy and blood.
'-Civilization's united power must put
a stop to aggression and give the
world peace" Yes. unless the world is
to become a synonym for crimson
chaos

|PACT WITH AUSTRIA

Recognition of Implied Claim

U. S. MADE ARBITRATOR
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

PARIS July 1.-THE full text of the
Austrian treaty as presented by the
allies July 2. and excluding TIL" spe-
cial military reparations and certain
financial. political and boundary
clauses which were then incomplete.
has come into my possession. This
text is still being kept secret by the
peace conference but. 40 a matter OF
fact the official summary which was
given to the press contains the real
gist of the treaty.
Supplementary Points.
After "A careful comparative study
find only a few supplementary points
worthy of mention. Article OF the
boundaries section reads:
Protocols defining the boundaries
and maps and documents attached
thereto will be made out in tripllcate.
whereof two copies Will be forwarded
to the government of each of the del
egated states and the third to the
French republic. which will deliver
authentic copies to the powers which
sign the present treaty.
Hints at french interest.
This seems to hint at recognition
of Frances implied claim to d special
interest in the new Austrian republic.
A similar impression energies from
the following sentence In article .,
section =. of the general military
clauses:
The present provision does not.
however, affect the right of France
to recruit for the Foreign Legion in
accordance with the French military
law and regulations
There is no similar limitation in the
German treaty, and it is according
Nv apparent that France, while for
the moment unwilling to accept Ger
mans in the famous Foreign Legion,
does not mage the same objection TO
German Austria.
q. S. Made Arbitrator.
AS in the German treaty SO in the
Austrian the United States is made
arbitrator of a number OF river tugs
and boats on the nternatlonallzed
Danube below Ulm which are to be
coded by Austria to the allied powers.
One of the most interesting articles
is the following from the economic
section:
THE allied powers agree that they
will not invoke these (pre1erentlaD
provisions to secure advantages o! any
arrangements which may be made by
the Austrian government with the
governments of Hungary or the
Czechoslovak state for the accord of a
special customs regime to certain nat
ural or manufactured products which
both originate in and come from those
countries and which are specified in
the agreement. provided that these ar
rangements do not exceed the period
of five years from the coming into
