THE ELIXIR OF LIFE

The rejuvenation of the body; the
process of making old things young
is hailed as the elixir of life But the
real elixir of life is not renewa
youth but Pep
Its vigor and vitality, vim and punch
and the courage to act on a sudder
hunch that makes for successful life
Pep fills a man with nerve; witt
nerve to tackle the hardest things
Pep gives man feet to climb anG
hands to cling and a heart that al.
ways sings.
Pep gives man grit in a concrete
base and friendly smile on an hon.
est face. Pep gives him the spirit
that helps another who's down and
out; that knows how to scatter the
blacklist frown; that loves its neigh,
bors and loves its town.
Pep says Il WILL" for it makes you
feel that you can. 1t causes you to
look at the best in every man. With
Pep you can shoulder every knock
out blow and come back with a laugh
Because Pep tells you that you have
the best of the whole show.

Painful Shock at Home

"A personality or superhuman
strength might have been shaken By
the results the President concentrated
when he started for home-an insecure
peace. Europe smouldering with the
embers of new wars, his prestige and
that Of America impaired. and this
country committed 70 unprecedented
engagements in an undertaking which
the rest Of the world regarded with
open skep.icism.
"But more painful disilusion

own countrymen divided. vast numbers
of them distrrstful o. the policy he had
put into action a flaming issue fe-
tween the traditional American con-
cept and that doctrine of internation-
alism to which he had pledged tho

consummation of that ideal for The

Enter Colonel House

Colonel House, it is understood,
comes bearing the assurance of Lloyd
George and Clemenceau that they will
hold their hands for a reasonable
period to enable the American Senate
to complete its deliberations and
ratify the treaty in time to be prac-
tically simultaneous with the other
principal powers and, more important
still. he is believed to be bringing with
him not only notes of the tenor of the
American reservations to the covenant
which Will be acceptable to Britain
and France, but mass Of data along
the same lines accumulated during
many conversations with European
statesmen. His advice should be I'M
portant in the formulation Of the com
promise reservations upon which the
Democrats and reservationist Repub-
licans are now working'

Our IntelIectuaIs

Says "The Portland (Mc.) Press"
of the same speech:
There is much truth in some of the
things the Senator from Idaho says
Our intellectuals have for months been
concerning themselves with the league
of nations when their efforts should
have been directed to finding solu-
ton for problems which are nearer
home and of more consequence to US.
While their eyes have been elevated
to survey the conditions across the
water and in other parts of the world
there have been other men who have
devoted themselves to fomenting trou-
BILE at home. 1t is these domestic
problems which we must now UNDER
take to solve and unless solutions for
them are found this country will con-
tinue to suffer from conflicts between
labor and capital, from race riots and
lawlessnees of all kinds"

XPERT opinion at Washing

~ XPERT opinion at Washing
Il ton sees a compromise on
the league Of nations surely
nearing, but it must be con-
coded that there is little, either in
editorial opinion or the speeches of
Senators. even remotely pointing
that way. Partisanship seems to have
been made more intense and bitter
by the Presidents trip, and his ILL.,
ness and absence from the political
scene have thus far not relieved
the wrangling confusion that ap-
parently prevails in the minds of
both statesmen and people.
At the moment the league faces
either compromise or deadlock. Sem
ator Hitchcock announces that the
Democrats will refuse to ratify a
treaty materially amended or altered
by reservation; and the vote de-
feating the Fall amendments showed
that the treaty as it stands cannot
be passed.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-10-12

Says The New York Tribune of
the Inference to be drawn from the
two resolutions:
at has become absolutely clear, as
Senator Lodge told the Republican del
egates, that without reservations the
treaty is dead The only business Of
craftsmanship in the Senate is to for
mulate such reservations as will Amer
icanize the covenant and nullify such
Of its provisions and implications as
still give countenance to the notion
that the league is a super-state. Once
Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Swanson aban-
don their hopeless fight for uncondi-
tional acceptance. the obstacles in the
way of rapid action on the treaty will
disappear"
Just how far apart the two sides
Of the controversy are is we'll
shown in the comment upon Sena-
tor Borah's speech, blaming the
current disorders in the world upon
the league of nations. Said "The
Milwaukee Journal" of this utter
ance:
"The attempt Of Senator Borah to

GAS for the effective and unequiv-
ocal reservations enumerated by the
Republicans of Senator Lodges state,
they amount to nothing more nor less
than the application of provisions
already embodied in the treaty"
Here is "The Boston Tran
scripts" Republican account of the
resolutions:
"The senior Senator insisted that In
order to have his support on the floor
of the convention the resolutions COM
mittee must report in favor of 'un-
equivocal and effective reservations
that is, in favor of conditional ratif-
cation Of the treaty, which is what
he has been fighting for from the day
he completed his study of its provi-
sions. The plank as finally adopted
by the committee not only Endorsed
prompt disposition Of the treaty, but
Endorsed his plan for 'unequivocal and
effective reservations and reinforced
that Endorsement by re-acting the res.
ervations that bear his name. j..
ut is great triumph for the Grand
Young Man, grown gray in the service
Of his country, but 1t is no greater
than he deserves. If the defeated
minority in the committee is happy,
so much the better. They owe debt
of gratitude to Senator Lodge for the
patience and generosity he displayed
throughout the preliminaries of plat
form making"

Who Has Ratified?
May america Still Be First to Approve League?

the approval by Parliament of
treaties involving territorial
changes.
In France the House of Deputies
has approved the treaty, and it now
goes to the Senate for considera-
ton. How long the Senate will
take there is no definite indication
as yet, but fairly speedy ratifica-
ton is expected.
All of which leads The New York
Tribune to remark:
"Complaint has been made of the
Senate for holding up the peace. But
it may turn out, if there is action
when now seems probable. and the
ratification is accepted by the execu-
tive department in the form it is to
have, that this country will be the
first II the Allies to ratify. So far
the Senate has not delayed the peace"
France A,c0ifs
The Washington spondent Of
''The New York Globe" speculates
upon the return Of Colonel House
at this time and gives this peculiar
explanation of Europe's delay in
ratifying:
Colonel Houses unexpected return
and there is excellent reason for the
assertion that his decision to make the
voyage was made upon some forty
eight hours warning-is lined up with
the status of ratification of the treaty
by our great European allies. This
status is not generally understood by
Americans. The British Parliament.
for instance, has ratified the treaty
without change, but under the British
law it does not legally and definitely
70 into effect until it has received the
royal signature.
"The French Chamber Of Deputies
likewise has ratified the treaty, and it
geois. its sponsor, having begged for
rapid action. But-and this is a very
large butt is not Bourgeois. but
Clemenceau, who can, in the final
event. control the passage of the treaty
/ through the Senate, and if Clemenceau
believes that, great as is the incon-
venience to France of any continuance
Of the state Of war, it Is to the ulti-
mate advantage Of France to await the
action OF the United States Senate or
the eve of that action before letting
the treaty 60 into effect then Clemen-
oeau may be relied upon to delay action
as long as, possible
Italy, desirous Of terminating the
unce rtainty Of her position az soon as
possible, will, 1t is believed, ratify both
the German and the Austrian treaties
by royal decree within the next day or

His Bitter FaretceH

when he visited the United States
ii February the strain upon him was
apparent in his resentment of critical
suggestions, and even of advice. His
responses were bitter and his farewell
a defiance. Soon after returning to
Europe he gave fresh evidence Of his
mood by threatening TO abandon the
the task he had assumed would have
bafiled combination of this country's
abiest men, while it was utterly beyond
the powers Of one acting alone.
"Presidc~t Wilson had conceived the
conferenCa as an assemblage of fifty or
sixty delegates celebrating in public.
and his function as that of general
arbiter, one who should remain aloof
from the discussions and intervene
finally in each dispute as the inter
prefer of deciding principles. Instead
Of that he found himself drawn into
secret negotiations with ten statesmen,
then with four. then with two. He had.
to debate definite issues, concrete
problems with an infinity of detail and
Unreasonable Importance, and was out
matched. Striving for the single object
of league of nations, he was in
position always vulnerable; he had
nothing to trade except his principles,
so he did that, and gained his end, but
at heavy cost to his tranquility of mind
His decisions shifted from the ground
Of justice to the ground of expectancy,
and with disastrous results, as Illus
trated in the cases Of Fiume and Shan
