BLASTED PRESTIGE.

One year ago America undoubtedly
was the most popular nation on earth.
1t had finished its great fight in the
world war. 1t stood for unselfish peace,
for justice to all nationalities, and for
the prevention of unjust war. Its al
lies looked upon America as their saw
Tor, benefactor, eolaborer in the con
struetion of super-nation which
should maintain law and justice
throughout the world. 1t was an ac-
knowledged leader in the international
reconstruction to be undertaken. Amer
lea was strong, charitable, generous and
above all honorable It's voice was lis
tened to with respect and its word was
authority.
Today it stands almost without g
friend, without the confidence of its for,
mer comrades, without authority and
admired a year ago. Its prestige i
| blasted.
A volume might be written on tn,
downfall of America in one short year
! but it can be summarized in a few
words. First, in its dealings with TIL
European powers who in the stress o
/ war had entered into unholy agree
| ments with each other it was force,
| to abandon its principles for expedien
! cy; second, one American assumed sol
| representation of the Americans in tn
great international council where it wa
outnumbered in representation of abil
/ ity; third, it was forced to bring bac
to Americans at home a compromise
fourth and lastly, the constitutional at
thority to ratify the pact entered int
by America abroad dropped into polit
zeal pickering, refused to adopt ne,
methods for handling new and gres
problems, to adopt the obligations c
great. opportunity and uphold its allie
and sought political rather tina
a moral victory. America great in WE
was made a weakling in statesmanshi
and in peace.

partment of the government to usurp
the powers of the legislative and judi
eial departments and to make the laws,
interpret them and to decree how they
should be enforced, which would be des-
potism. In doing this the judge has
placed the courts against despotism and
dangerous radicalism that might en-
danger the power of the public to gov
ern itself. 1t is only another instance
of the court coming to the rescue OF
law and order, as it has always done
in this country. 1t looks as though the
courts of North Dakota may save that
state from a further departure from
the orderly processes of government
and place the law above the agents
sworn to enforce it.

LONDON, March 26.-Defending

Of commons here. Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary Of war. declared
that the whole OF Egypt was In a
virtual state OF insurrectiOn. The
position was so dangerous, he added,
that the government had to appeal
to men on the point Of demobiliza-
ton 10 return and save their COM
rades from being murdered. This
declaration by the war secretary
was brought about by the remarks
Of Sir Donald MacLean. who had said
that Great Britain was grossly over
insured with respect to the strength
of the army Mr.. Churchill asked
If he followed what was taking
place in almost every country at the
present time. and IL so. how could
he say that there was reinsurance
in keeping 100000 men for every
purpose, including 10 divisions on
the Rhine and four divisions in the
home country, less than the number
kept here in the peaceful days be-
fore the war.
Only three days ago, continued
the secretary, a situation developed
in Egypt which was Of very far
reaching danger and which made it
necessary to appeal TO the men who
were collected at various ports for
rehabilitation to go back and help
their comrades and save them from
being murdered
The whole of Egypt was virtually
in a state of Instruction.
Had Sir Donald read of what was
taking place on the Black sea, i'm
Hungary, and on the whole frontier
OF those small states which were
guaranteed protection by the league
OF nations? Sir Donald had said.
continued the secretary, that the
German army was TO be reduced TO
100000 men and that the Germans
were TO have no boy scouts.
The speaker asserted that was
what the allies We're going TO de-
mand. But had the Germans agreed

their agreeing to il If the allies di-
