Military Prisoners

When convict or prisoner in any place of confinement raises complaint of ill-treatment he immediately attentive audience, not of unbiased persons, but of people who assume his com- olain to be ell-founded They do not stop to think ,f the character the complainant of the fact that he is criminal and therefore likely to be vicious liar as well. They assume that what he has said is rue and demand the punishment of his accused iailors without further inquiry.
 This tendency of the public is not to be wholly condemned though it should be held in re- straint. Sympathy with the under dog is admir- able human emotion but before is given rein inquiry should be made to the character of the under dog. Perhaps he is where he ought to be and is getting what is coming to him.
 There is a great furore over the treatment of American prisoners on American prison farms in France. From such reports have been made of ' the punishment of prisoners at Prison Farm No. ? a the testimony concerning brutality is furnished oy the prisoners themselves Nobody else seems to know anything about it. The who have become interested in the of the prisoners admit that hey know nothing "of their knowledge" They lid not see the prison farm. They have only the stories of the prisoners.
 But something is known of the character of the inmates of Prison Farm No. 9 General Pershing has said that among them some of the hardest 'haracters in France" It is known that there among them criminals and towards; who had deserted from the front; men who had never been the front, but had deserted from their commands .'l camp. There were hundreds of men there who if tey had belonged to the French, the British the Belgian army would have been summary shot and .lat would have been the end of the Firing squads would have put them outside the range of activities of long haired men, short haired women and long distance investigators.
 It is not of course to be believed that all the uen who passed through Prison Farm No. ? were deserers criminals the hardest characters in France" No doubt many there for minor and thoughtless breaches of military discipline and it is almost inevitable that some of them should become victims of injustice and cruelty
 We sometime ago stated the belief that it was the policy of the high to make these prison farms unpopular, and so to impress those there with purpose not to return We are confirmed in that belief by a telegram to The Republican last night tfrom former officer in France now at Deming New Mexico, in which he states that there was in force policy of repression, and repression is more frequently than not an exercise of cruelty
 This policy made by the high command to be a sorry substitute for discipline or was adopted IS antidote to ooser discipline defect asly traced back to pacifist head of the war depart ment, Strict military discipline such as had been exercised in the civil as prevailed since anti we entered the world war and such as prevails h all modern armies would have prevented the rigors the punishment prescribed for them by courts martial

 Men and women are sorry if they

 ."Yet do wish the experienced would warn the young not to take
 matrimony with such a reckless plunge" I answered. Most of the girls I know get married without a
 single forward glance into the long years after marriage. And marriage is so-so final. It's just like death, one
 way, it lasts a long time." Mother Lorimer smiled as if she quite understood my rather crude eff | fort to be clever.
 "One does stay dead-and married | long time,'' she said softly. and then added with a little shake of her head,

The Defenders of shantuns

The question of Shantung is not inseparably re- Lated to the League of Nations What relation there may be need not be mantained'b by us. Shantung is a mart of the peace treaty with which the covenant of the league connected but there is no reason why the covenant should be rejected why the treaty boud fail of ratification because hantung If the American senate will express behalf of the Ameri can people it's severest reproduction of that provision of the peace treaty declining to be bound by 1t with reference to Shantung. and if it should make sui fcent reservations with respect to it in our agree nent to enter the League of Nations. national dutv will be performed.

Their arguments in favor of it varied and foolish and only to emphasize the black ness of it.

The French Defensive Treaties

The from Paris yesterday morning thai the French chamber of deputies is holding back action the peace treaty until the senate of the United States has acted upon the French defensive treaty will throw light thing that has not been clearly understood. There is we suppose common impression that the so-caed French treaty is one of alliance of the United States France and Great Britain. As matter of fact there are two treaties one between France and Great Britain and the other between Frnce and the United States They are not quite identical in form but are identical in purpose, looking to the defense France in case of aggression by Germany.
 It was provided by the Franco American treaty that it should be presented to the American senate at the same time as' the Versailles treaty That provision is not in the Ango-French treaty though that was presented to parliament at the same time as the peace treaty and ratified advnce of the treaty of Versailles
 Another difference in the form of the two French treaties is that the Franco American treat provides that in case of attack by Germany inc united States shall be bound to come immediatelv to her France's) assistancev
 In the Anglo French treaty Great Britain "apraas to come immediately" to the assistance of France and the Dominions of Great Britain are exempted from any obligation under the treaty
 France evidently regards these two defensive treaties as more vital to her than any protection offered by the covenant of the League of Nations in the treaty of Versailles and it may be- as is sur- missed Tn some quarters, that the consent of France 10 the covenant was secured only on the condition that the defensive treaty should be negotiated That surmse is rendered the stronger by the report that no action will be taken by the chamber on the peace treaty until the senate has ratified the defensive traty
 We do not think France need fear the rejection or that treaty Little opposition has been raised to It Tn this country since it has come to be understood that 1t does not propose triple alliance It does not even propose an offensive and defensive alliance u France We not bound to go to the aid of France agalnst any other power than Germany It's pro-' Vlsions are simple and not entangling

seems to be as to which land shall re- ceive it. The lands of the Paradise Verde irrigation district are the only lands outside the Salt river project that have the least legal right to the flood waters of the Verde river. The Salt river project cannot incorporate new lands, which have no right to the Verde water and irrigate them with water all ready appropriated by other lands. The Paradise Verde lands have the le- gal rights to the flood waters of the Verde river and they are standing on their rights.
 Another item of interest omitted from the articles in question is that when the report of Hamlin came before the secretary of the interior some of it was so obviously unreasonable and un- just to the Paradise Verde irrigation district, that action on it was post

 Also, it is possible-nay, probable that one or the other may stray from the trail. If the steadier partner has been insufficiently instructed in youth, or has failed to appreciate the fuIi values and significance of the partner ship, he or she will run away-to a courtroom.
