and responsibilities. Dispatches from
Paris say President Wilson will pro-
pose to congress the acceptance Of a
mandate for Constantinople and for
Armenia.
Senator Borah, rampant opponent Of
the league, broke out in a new place
last week, with charges that the propa-
ganda Of the league to. enforce peace,
headed by ex-President Taft, is
financed by Wall street, Mr.. Taft's Or
ganization glories in the fact that most
Of its financial support comes from
men Of big business and broad vision.
1T may be-" said Senator Borah,
shat the occasion for the opposition
upon the part of small men is not a
Limitation Of vision; 1t may possibly
be that their investments are not the
same and their interests are not the
same. e.5..,
"It' may be that they are combining
themselves to the interests Of their
own country and believe in the tradi-
tions and policies of their country, and
1t may possibly be that those who
take wider view of the matter are
those who have large investments In
other countries. and who propose to
have more investments there, which in
vestments will be worth very little un.
less they are underwritten blythe Unit
ed States government"
1t is not easy to see why American
business men should be criticized be-
cause they wish to see peace perma-
nently established in Europe SO that
they can resume trade, commerce and
industry with, the Europeans, An in
stance of what they are getting ready
to do is supplied by the news that
three great American construction con-
Germs have been awarded a contract
for the rebuilding Of the Nancy district
Of, France ut an estimated figure Of
$25O.O0O.OOO, which sum may be dou-
bled.
Dispatches from Weimar declared
that the national assembly would at
once take up the peace treaty and that
q majority for its ratification was as
sured. The Germans had been noti-
fed that the blockade would be lifted
as soon as the pact were ratified, and
they expressed the hope that German
prisoners Of war would be released at
the same time. As an earnest Of their
good intentions the Germans ceased all
warfare on the Poles simultaneously
for some time and not without pro-
sailles. Released from danger in that
direction, the Poles turned all their
attention to the Galician- volhynian
front, starting a commemorative in
which they claimed to have broken
the Ukrainian resistance and regained
control of important towns and rail-
ways. There is no assurance, how
ever, that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has, since
the armistice, re0rganized an army OF
about 100000 men and gathered
equipment for three times that mum.
Der. including as many airplanes u
she had when she surrendered. OF
course all this Is contrary to the
terms Germany accepted, and II the
stories are true the allies will have
to get busy again. The Germans car
be trusted in one respect, and one
only. They will evade the treaty Il
