He didn't relish his predicament. He
is credited with saying in his last days:
Der Krieg hat NIGHTS elegantes mehr"
("There is no longer anything high
toned about wary.
Austria and Hungary will therefore
be likely to escape the economic servi-
tude" of which Germany complains. Such
solution has its advantages. 1t will
tend automatically to discourage the
idea Of union of Austria with Ger
many. What people with any business
instincts would want to share Germany's
peace burdens? Every section of Ger
many which has the chance to do so
will probably hasten to vote itself out
Of participation in them. The new Aus
tria will cling rather to independence
and the relative immunity which it
guarantees.
The Austrian and Hungarian dele
gates at Paris may therefore be ex-
pected to make no trouble. The only
real trouble arising from the settlement
with the defunct Dual Monarchy will
come from disputes among the Allies
over the distribution of the Hapsburg
estate.

have at their disposal for industry time
formerly devoted to military exercises.
Estimating the cost, direct and indirect,
of the old war machine at billion a
year, Germany gets from this item alone
almost enough to meet the interest on
her reparation debt. If the Allies keep
up big military establishments Germany
may be the real economic gamer from
the peace through her enforced disarnl-
ament.
The new standard of value, under
which the mark has smaller purchasing
power, will operate to make easier the
discharge of the reparation debt, which
is payable in marks If the advance in
commodity prices is estimated at fo
more than 60 per cent the initial pay
ment Of 2o,00o,0o0,0oo marks means no
more goods than a payment of 12,500,-
100000 marks would have meant before
the war. The decrease in the exchange
value of money Of account tends to make
German payment easier and proportion-
ately lightens the load on German in
dustry.

Shall We Forget?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: How often lately l have heard people
say: "Oh, these German atrocities are over
drawn" Perhaps those people have not yet
read the official documents telling of acts
too awful to repeat, or the diaries taken
from dead German soldiers, or heard the
truth spoken from the lips Of men who were
in that hell and saw all those things with
their own eyes.
Peace is about to be signed, and when it
is are we to welcome the Hun with open
arms? I hope not, and l hope that people
never will forget the frightful crimes Ger
many (frona the highest to the lowest) COM
mitted against all civilization, and who even
now shows no signs of repentance. There
are those who wish us to enter Utopia
where we will forgive our enemies. but
can the slaughter of innocents and the
waste of human life ever be forgiven bv
humans or by God HIMSELF?

Mad Good Nature

Nobody can blame Mr.. Ludwig c. A.
K. Martens, Ambassador Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
Lenine to everybody in general and no
government in particular, for jeering
at the peace treaty concluded with
much labor at Paris. That is what
he is hired for. And as long as the
American government let's him stick
out his tongue at US, why should he
not? The joke is certainly not on him.
When Mr. Martens first reached
these shores there were number who
resented his presence and his utter
ances, and there was general demand
to know whether he really was diplo-
matte representative accredited to this
country. After thinking this latter point
over for month in profound silence the
State Department reached mighty con-
clusion, and formally announced that he
had no official status. Thus poor Mr..
Martens was left with only his unofficial
mouth and typewriter to jeer at US.
While our American soldiers fight his
government in Russia and die and are
wounded, he lives peaceably in our
midst, telling US just how wrong and
degraded we are.

Dictionary Goats
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: was glad to read in recent copy
Of The Tribune some discussion as to the
derivation Of the word "chevron." Blessed
is the man who in these troublors days has
q hobby "on the side" like the derivation of
words, for words are not mere symbols
of facts, but rather footprints of custom,
science and history.
For instance, let the man who has ac-
quired the dictionary habit examine the
roots of the word chevron and he will find
it comes from the Latin "capra," meaning
a goat:
1t may seem a far cry from a philo-
sophical William quietly munching tomato
cans as he breaks the Harlem skyline, but
wait-as you watch you may see the subject
of this sentence, without rhyme or reason,
spring like bird in the air. And why?
To show what the word caprice means
Now, chevron. being military word, 1t
needs must pertain to goats in action, so
according to "The Century Dictionary" its
secondary derivation is from rafter, which
by the caprice of the word maker is sup
posed to represent butting goats.
War news peters out markets fuctuate
(but generally upward), and politics is
not always joy forever, but he who has
nose for words Ito use journalistic
figure) has many pleasant surprises await
ing him GEORGE ALDEN SANFORD.

Sin and Broadway

The only certain fact about Rabbi
Wise's earnest attack upon our contem-
porary stage is the priceless advertise
ment which he has published in behalf
OF every show that remotely hints at
lingerie. 1t was an impartial boost that
he uttered. The particular play that
aroused his adjectives was not named,
but there were "dozen others, equally
oad," he generously added. So anybody
OF an investigating mind can investigate
up one side Of Broadway and down the
other with reasonable confidence Of
being shocked, if Rabbi Wise is right
But just what percentage of his
charge is right? 1t is a hard business
calculating naughtiness accurately.
There are good and bad plays on Broad
way, just as there are good preaching
and bad preaching in synagogues and
churches. The preaching is never porno-
graphic or leprous or lecherous, to
use Rabbi Wise's adjectives-almost
never-but it is utterly dull and unin-
splred often enough and sufficiently
damaging to the cause which it repre-
sents. Sometimes clergyman assures
us that such preaching is what congre-
cations want; and Herewith we come
back to the theatrical situation, which is
builded on much the same formula. In
the long run, too, we think truth lies
that way. The public does get about
what it wants on the stage and from the
pulpit.
SO we think such wholesale denuncia-
tions as those put forth by Rabbi Wise
are as wind upon the sands. The present
generation is not going to perdition
merely because shoulder blades are now
displayed in decollete instead Of chestz:
nor because lingerie has been promoted
from the advertising columns of "The
Ladies' Home Journal" to the stage: nor
because sermons are mighty poor. In
splration and fun are not set forms. but
living, changing forces. Each genera
tion gets them where and as it can.
When they become solidifed in creeds
or restrained by Puritanical formulas
you have dull world.

Why 1t Succeeded

There is a note of surprise in some
of the comment on the Victory Loans
overwhelming success. Certain workers
in the loan organization have expressed
frank astonishment that this districts
quota was so easily oversubscribed.
Many people took the view that the
fifth loan was being foated under con-
ditions radically different from those
under which the four other loans were
issued. The war was over, it was
argued, and war fervor had abated.
The Treasury Department seemed to &C.
cept this reasoning to a certain extent,
since by Offering short-term notes, in
stead of bonds, and increasing the rate
Of interest it endeavored to emphasize
the appeal which the new securities
would make as an investment.
Yet the public response was not of
credited to a mere appreciation Of the
enhanced value of the Victory issue.
Fifteen million individual subscriptions
were obtained-most Of them for small
amounts. The war has cut the value of
the dollar nearly in two. Four and
three-fourths per cent is a relatively
meagre return nowadays on capital. Yet
it is clear that the average purchaser
took little account Of these considera-
tions when he went to the governments
support. He bought the fifth issue as he
bought the four other issues: in spirit
of patriotic good will and cooperation.
On the surface conditions had changed
since the armistice. But only on the
surface. The success Of the loan was
SO imposing only because the buyers
heart was in it. AS with every other
great demand made by war in which
he had enlisted to a finish, the average
American did his duty and asked no
questions.
He gets a safe investment and a
moderate rate Of interest. But that was
the last thing he was thinking Of when
he subscribed. His mind was on the
victory which the loan was to help to
pay for. It represented something
bigger than rate returns and market
values-America's thanksgiving, exalta-
tion and splendid faith in herself.

Aushia-Hungary Next

Austra-Hungary will be the next of
the Teuton allies to go into the prisoners
box for sentence. The peace problem in
her case is simple. The Dual Monarchy
pays the penalty Of its crimes by ex-
tinction. Not only is the Hapsburg
dynasty abolished, but the historic en-
pire to which it furnished a band Of
union is torn to bits.
Austria Hungary will not need to
make economic reparation on q large
scale. Her armies indulged in some
wanton destruction Of property in Ser
bis, Rumania, Montenegro and Northern
Italy. But this devastation was casual
rather than deliberate. 1t lacked the
scientific thoroughness Of similar Ger
man operations in Belgium, Poland,
Rumania, Russia and Northern France.
Austria Hungary also destroyed few
enemy and neutral merchant ships. Her
bill for damages will be relatively small.
with all the moro reason because the
states she injured have already COM
penseted themselves territorially at her
expense.
The settlement with the Dual Mon
archy win Be essentially political and
military settlement. A once great en-
pire is dismembered. Italy takes nearly
all Tyrol Istria and part Of Dalmatia.
Jugo-Slavia gets Croatia, Slavonia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina and a part of
the Banat OF Temesvar. Rumanfa takes
the other part of the Banat, Transyl-
vania, Bukowina and slices Of Hungary
proper. Poland acquires Galicia. Czecho-
slovakia receives Bohemia, Moravia and
parts Of Northern Hungary. The

The Cercay Papers
Says one clause of the treaty:

says one clause of the treaty:
The German government also is to
restore to the French government cer-
tain papers taken by the German au
thorities in 1870, belonging to Mr..
Rouher"
Eugene Rouher, the Eugene Rougon
of Zola's novel, was the most intimate
friend of Napoleon III and one of the
chief organizers of the sanguinarv
coup d'etat of 1851, by which the Prince
President became Emperor. A species
e OF Colonel House, Rouher for the next
twenty years was the only confidant of
the crowned adventurer of the Tuile
rles, trusted with all secrets. But Ma
poleon lived in fear of the Paris mob,
and If his fall came did not want his
private papers to be seized. So thew
were intrusted to Rouher, who stored
them in his chateau at Cercay.
When the war came, in 1870. IJhlans
reached the chateau before it was
stripped. Packing cases were found.
and examination showed something i'm
portant uncovered. Off went the docu
ments to Bismarck, and it is reputed
That after short session with them
the old fellow came out smiling and
whlstllng, almost dancing. Soon after
THE London Times" was furnished
with copies of letter written by Bene-
detti concerning a project for the an
nexation of Belgium to France and of
Luxembourg by Prussia. This publica-
tion closed the door to any hope that
Great Britain would go to the assist
ance of France, and if Great Britain
did not, Austria Hungary did not dare.
The Cercay letters had much to do
with the terms Bismarck was able to
impose.
But in other respects their influence
was greater. For long time the
southern German states were unwill-
ing to consent to German empire in
which Prussia should be master. Their
rulers intrigued with Napoleon and
with Austria Hungary between 1866
and 1870. The Cercay documents, al
though never published, were supposed
W lHcluue evidence that made it i'm
possible for the rulers of the southern
German states to resist Bismarck's ar
guments. Mysterious interviews took
place, and men who had been indepen-
dent became subservient. In the then
state OF German popular opinion they
knew Bismarck could drive them from
their thrones AT Cercay rather than
at Versailles the German Empire was
born.
Why France wants the papers now
does not appear. She surely has no
interest in protecting the memory Of
Napoleon III or the repute Of forgotten
German kinglets. Perhaps the return
is TO insure complete presentation
when the documents are published.

The Snake at the Hearth
(From The LoDeU Courier Citk.en)

The worst menace of this country at
present Is, in our judgment, the unbalanced
"parlor Bolshevik," whose delight in
preaching class hatred is comparable with
the delight of children playing with
matches. With what probably seem to the
cult the most laudable intentions in the
world, there is danger that fire be started
which cannot be controlled. The inequsli-
ties of social strata are admitted, of course,
for any fool can see that they are there.
The thing needed is sanity in dealing with
them-and sanity is about the last charse-
teristic that can be prcdicated Of the aver
age "parlor Bolshevik." Ii only few Of
our. male and female agitators could Be
isolated in psychopathic wards. where they
clearly belong, the world would BE- Ind
nitely better of.
