WAR RECORD OF LEvIATHAM
Monster Transport Carried Mary
Thousands of Soldiers to
French Ports.

The giant transport Leviathan, fol-
lowing her arrival in New York haF-
Dor with Gen. Pershing and troops Of
the First division, brought to a close
her important service in helping WIN
the war. The big ship, after being.
refitted for passenger service, is TO be
turned back to the United States ship
ping board. the agency which seized
it when the United States entered the
war. While the future of the ship
is uncertain, it is reported thar she
will be assigned to American pasSeITN
ger trade between New York anGS
Liverpool, with possible extension in
the future of service to Hamburg.
The Leviathan. formerly the Vater--
land, the second largest ship in the
world, was interned in New York by
the Germans in 1914. She was will"
fully damaged" to the extent Of more
than $1,OO0,OO0. After being recon-
ditioned by American engineers, she
was assigned as transport, and
during and since the war made ~
round trips on the Atlantic. carrying
a total of 1S5,5OO soldiers, of whom
9S,321 were carried overseas through
submarine infested seas. She was AZ
ways a mark for U-bOats, but her
speed and the armament with which
she was equipped saved her.

HALEY'S COMET 81 YEARS AGO
Is Same Terrific Wanderer in Space
That Has Appeared Down
the Ages.

The world was up all night Septem-
ber II, 1910. Haley's comet blazed
across the roof of the world. This
"great comet" whose revolution Oc-
cup;ed 292 years, was first seen in Aug
ust., 1858, by gentleman in Altoona,
but Haley's comet, named after the
astronomer who calculated it's prog
resS, is the same terrific wanderer in
depths of space that has appeared
down the ages, and to which success
,sive names nave been given-Bela's
comet. Donati's comet, etc. From the
records of history it seems that the
comet appears to fOretell some world
disaster. 1t appeared before the fall
Of Jerusalem under Titus; in the reign
Of Louis the Debonair, S37, and the
king died shortly after; it appeared
before the death of Caesar, 43 B. c..
Again it appeared three years after
the capture of Constantinople by the
Turks 1456. 1t appeared in 1861, just
before the Civil war, and in 1910, be-
fore the great war.
What is a comet? 1t is a member
of the solar republic-a hirSute star,
a vagabond orb, that travels at almost
incalculable speed, whose tail is fifty
five million miles lOng-who approach
es the sun, not to be consumed in it,
but to draw from that radiant source
the energy necessary for it's future
travels in the unknown abyss of the
armament. 1t has it's own orbit which
it follows. What mind dare follow
that?

WILSON AND THE SHOPMEN

President Wilson has earned
the right to speak to the railroad
shopmen as a friend. From that
point of vantage he proffered
them caution and advice which
were none the less friendly be-
cause solemn in tone, and which,
in their own interest and for the
behoof of the entire nation, it is
hoped they will accept in like
spirit. II
The President reminded the
shopmen that the cost of living
has reached it's peak and that its
trend may hereafter be expected
to be downward, and is certain
to fall much lower so soon as the
treaty of peace has been ratified.
Until after that ratification has
been accomplished and all busi-
ness and industry is put upon a
sure footing, President Wilson
explained, increases of wages die
tated by the maximum costs of
the moment would defeat the
campaign which the government
is now conducting for lower
prices; would advance the rates
for transportation and in that
way enhance every charge against
production and distribution.
These increases of wages to meet
a temporary situation would be
permanent and their effects on
the cost of living would be equal
ly lasting.
Not only the shopmen, but all
workers and employers-every
man woman and child in the Uni
ted States-would continue to
feel the pressure of excessive
prices of all they need for food,
clothing and shelter. Those
whose income takes the form of
wages and salaries would feel it
most of all. Strikes which stop
the rate and multiply the costs
of production will only magnify
the difficulties.
The remedy lsquick ratification
of the treaty. This will put a
period to the uncertainty which
makes speculation of every in
vestment, enterprise and tran
saction that ought to be predica-
ted upon sound, stable conditions.
Neither an increase of wages at
the hands of the President nor a
stoppage of work on the part of
labor can afford a cure. The Sen
ate alone has the means of end
ing the evil state of things.
Ratify the treaty!

THE JUNKERS OF THE SENATE

THE JUNKERS OF THE SENATE
The American people will
have to pay for all the windows
broken by Senator Lodge and his
frienzied partisan associates on
the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. They. may as well make
up their minds to that first as
last, says the New York World.
Continuing, the World says:
1T is not possible for a part of
the treaty making power of the
United States wantonly to insult
government after government
and nation after nation without
working irreparable mischief to
all the foreign relations of this
country. While Americans know
that Lodge and his associates are
merely playing politics against
the President, we have no right
to expect other people to dismiss
this sabre rafting as merely one
of the hypocritical eccentricities
of the American system of gov.
ernment.
"The world has a right to de.
mand that the United States Sen
ate, being clothed with the au-
thority to ratify treaties, shall be
a responsible body and shall not
prostitute its power in foreign
affairs to ignoble partisan uses.
"The course that Senator Lodge
and a majority of the commit
tee have chartered is one of
complete responsibility. Moth
ing matters to them except the
defeat of the President, and no
disaster of which the human
imagination can conceive is too
heavy a price to pay for that,
Unless they are brought to
their senses by the American
people, who will be the ultimate
victims of this insane policy of
malice and meanness, there is an
excellent chance not only that
the United States will come out
of the war with the open hostility
of the great nations of the world,
but that there will be an actual
coalition against u.s.. That is
what the Lodges are inviting.
'"The Shantung affair is only
one case in point. Granting the
substantial justice of the Chinese
demands, the fact remains that
it was Japan and not China which
ousted Germany from Shantung
at a time when this assistance
was invaluable to the Allied
cause. Japan had promised to
restore to China everything ex-
cept the German railway and min
ing concessions, and the League
of Nations provides a tribunal
under which these pledges can
can be enforced. The action
taken by the Senate committee
admittedly provides no relief to
China. 1t was not taken to pro-
vide relief. The Chinese case
was used only as a meaas Of mud
ding the treaty anG increasing
the difficulties of the situation
with which Presto ent Wilson
must deal.
IF there is any difference be-
tween the spirit of the German
Junkers and the spirit of Henry
Cabot Lodge and his nine repub-
lican associates, we should like
to know what it is. Both were
ready to plunge the world into
war to gain their place in the sun
and 10th were equally contempt
uous of the consequences. With
civilization still in political tur-
moil and in a state of economic
chaos, these Senators calmly Gre
ate new causes of dissension and
seek to make a final settlement
impossible except by a new ap-
peal to arms.
