Ratify the Whole Treaty.

A minority of the American Senate is
threatening TO prevent or delay the ratl-
fication of this invaluable treaty. Some
of the reasons given for such delay or de-
feat can only be described as ignomini-
Gus and dastardly. They represent the
American people as tired of their disin-
terested crusade for justice and liberty
throughout the world, and DESTROYS Of
returning to their former belief in their
own prosperity and safety through $50
lation.
Let the American people make
known to the Senate that they hold firm
ly to the ideals with which they went to
war in April 1917, and that they are not
so stupid as to believe that the United
States can avoid sharing in any political
and industrial calamities which may af
flct the rest of the world Other argu-
ments used against the treaty suggest
that the American people should be care
full about assuming new responsibilities
for the welfare of other nations, and
should keep its breath to cool its own
hot porridge. These, too, are arguments
which appeal to the less generous and
idealistic side of the American character.
Hence, they will be unsuccessful One
great lesson of the war is that the Amer
lean people will support their govern
ment in doing everything possible to pro
mote public liberty, health and happi-
ness not only at home but in any part
of the world to which its influence can
extend, and viii pledge to that cause

LENS SHOPPING SIGNS
OF BUSINESS REVIVAL
The City Still Looks as If Giant Sledge
Hammers Had Pounded Ii to Pieces
But There Are Indications of
Rehabilitation.

Paris, July I Correspondence Of the
Associated Press LENS, the most thor
oughly devastated town of the war, is
showing signs of revival. When the AS
sociated Press correspondent visited this
erstwhile busy coal mining center of the
department Of the Pas de Calais early
this year, it still looked as though a set
of giant sledge hammers had pounded
the whole place to atoms, To the west
of it lies the grim battlefield OF Loos,
which has the curious appearance of a
petrifed sea The soil has been plowed
up in an extraordinary manner by thou
sands of poisonous gas bombs, which
have tinged the sparse vegetation an I'M
healthy gray.
Before the war, Lens had 10000 in
habitants. When the correspondent Wis

desolation, there were only three sturdy
optimists left, who led a cavemens ex.

point to get food was BullyGrenay, 10
miles away, and there was no transpor-
tation
Things have been mending since. To-
day about 5000 of the exiled inhabitants

In the Pas de Calais department alone
$50 townships and villages are in the

latest suggestion is to use covered army
motor trucks as temporary shelters for
the workers by whose efforts Lens is to
arise from its ashes.
