Axioms Most Impressive.

The axioms of international poll
tics which have perhaps made the
deepest impression on our represent
atives are the following:
l. No nation will voluntarily act
against what it considers its own best
interests.
2. In affairs of states material in
terests will take precedence over
moral interests although the latter
are not negligible.
3. The rights of small or weak ma
lions are only such as large and pow
erful nations may accord them.
4. No powerful nation is at present
willing to cede the least jot of its
full sovereignty.
No Supernatural Authority.
). Therefore, no league of nations
with supernatural authority is now pos
sible
6. In the present state of civilization
no nation can afford to intrust its safety
to the good Will of others. If strong it
must show readiness to defend itself if
weak it must seek strong protectors
z. Changes in the present relations
between the nations can come about
only slowly and as natural growth
There is nothing pessimistic or cynical
about these anxioms with which our
representatives have now become so fully
acquainted They simply depict the
world as it is In order to better exist
ing conditions one must first understand
them. In the momentous decisions
| which the people of the United States
are now called upon to make these re-
| alistic fundamentals will not be lost
sight of by those who really feel re-
sponsible for the nations future.

FRIENDSHIP OF BRITAIN

LONDON, England, July ENG
lishmen as well as Americans cele-
brated July 4 yesterday. So far as
the American officers and soldiers
were concerned the festivities were
largely in the nature of farewell par
ties. OF the 1000 American soldier
students in the British Isles, 1,500 are
embarking today at Liverpool on the
student ship Plattsburg for the
Brest embarkatiop camp, whence they
will proceed to the United States.
These soldier students, the last of
the American armies in England, have
been under the direction of Col. F. F.
Longley, formerly of Chicago, but
later of New York.
This Fourth marks a milestone in
British American history" said Col.
LongIey today. 1T finds the relations
between the two countries closer and
more cordial than at any other time
in the life of the American republic
This relation has been and will be
greatly assisted by the students here

Applies to All the Members.

What applies to President Wilson is
no less true of Messrs. Lansing,
White, House, Gen Bliss and many
minor officials. They have acquired a
new insight into world politics, an in
sight which American statesmen, oW-
ing to our isolated position, have
probably lacked during several gen
erationS.
They came to Europe expecting to
apply liberal principles and what is
generally known as idealiSm. They
go home admitting frankly that these
principles simply cannot be applied
to the world in its present condition.
If they are satisfied with their work
it is merely because they feel that
they have done the best they could
under the circumstances. This. for
example. is President Wilson's senti-
ment. But underneath il all there is
faint of disillusion. Who, indeed
comparing the dreams of last Novem-
Der with the realities of today can
wonder at it?
