NO FORMAL WELCOME

 Demand for Fleet SCuttIcd at Scapa Flow. ,e

Paris, Nov. 21.---No formal meeting has yet been held between the Ger man delegates who arrived Wednes- day morning and the representatives of tho allied powers concerning the proposed protocol to the German peace treaty. It now seems unlikely that the protocol will bo signed be- fore tho end of November, as tho Germans have shown disposition to resist the provision requiring them to replace the warships sunk when their fleet was scuttled at Scapa Flow and they have manifested a desire to argue the question. The failure of tho allied and associated powers to reach an agreement on the treaty is reported to have greatly encouraged the Germans in their position.
 As the protocol must be arranged before the formal announcement Of ratification of the treaty by the three powers, required to mako it effective, tho date of putting the treaty into effect seems uncertain.

 MT. Morgenthau, in concluding, said:

]. 'OGROMS ARE WORSE
 THAN CzAR'S RULE
Jews Working Hard to Protect
 Their Own in Europe

Lawyer M. D. Sake, as one of the ish Congress in this city, has given out the following statement relative to the alleged pogroms in Eastorn Europe: . French Notablcs Protest.
 A cable received from Paris states that the committee of Jewish delega- lions at the peace conference has just made public a protest against the a1lts-Jewish pogroms in Eastern Eu- rope in tho form of an appeal to Humanity which has been signed and Issued by the foremost men of letters and leading public men of France. This statement bears the signatures of such eminent names as those of AnatoIe Franco, Pierre Mile, Charlcs Seignobos (the historian), Henri Bar busse, Victor Margeritte, Michel Cor day, M. Aulard (the historian), Emile Cambe Professor Larnaude, Albert Thomas, George Duhamel, Ernest Lavisse {of the French Academy and many others of note.
 This appeal was prepared by a number of public-spirited French citi- zens at the time when tho delegation from the American Jewish Congress was still in Paris and cooperating with tho committee of Jewish deIcga- tons Since then tho appeal was sent around to the various notables to have them attach their signatures. The dispatch from Paris shows that this work has now been completed. Bernard c. Richards, who was secro- tary to the delegation which repre- scented the Jews of America, was able to give out recently the full text of this significant appeal, which is as follows:
 Appeal to All Mankind.
 ''In the name of human conscience, in the name of the moral responsi. biiity of all men to their fellow m en. the undersigned appeal to the people of tho world. and especially to the people of France.
 "A cry of despair and poignant sor- row comes to us from Eastern Eu- ropo---poland I.ithuan'a. Ukrainia Gaiicia, Rumnnia-r-nn entire people appeals desperately to us for help.
 "The Jews, who have lived In East ern Europe since centuries, have be- come tho innocent and pitiable vic- tinns of all the national, political and social strife.
 "The ambitious riyalries of govern ments and parties, all tho sanguinary

Someone must prepare the strikers food or they vii scon
become ghosts he reply Of The tue believer to this fact
is that only hired industrial workers are to strike, and only
the idle owners are 10 staye But experience with attempted
general strikes shows that it is just the idle owners who have
the largest stores and are the last to suffer.
The general strike dwndles still further m practice, when
it is always proposed that only organized minority OF all
aborers who are IN certain great key industries eH-
pected to strike The most extensive strike really does not
expect to stop anything more than transportation, mining
building, communication by wire and mail manufacturing
in the great factories and trading in the larger stores Such
strike can cause great inconvenience and suffering 1t is
powerful and dangerous weapon But it does not para
yze" society nor compel to surrender Within compare
lively recent times such strikes have been attempted in Swe
dcn Denmark, Belgium, France, Italy and some other
tons on national sale and in many cities (ncudng Sc
attic and Winnipeg and other restricted areas Some
have been well organized ii advance and received world
wide support from organized labor Others have been sud-
den mpulsNe actions.
No advocate Of the general strike claims any of them
complete success Nearly all are admitted to have been
complete failures setting the union movement back many
years The two Belgian strikes, for which the greatest
claims are made were both for the purpose of securing uni
versa suffrage Both obtained small concessions. But the
complete granting Of suffrage to both but the
other day. and then as the result Of the entrance of the La
Dor Party into coalition cabinet
The lesson of such attempts at general strike would
seem be that they sometimes the granting OF small
concessions in an unenocradc nation where majority Of
the people already favor the demands of the strikers In
democratic country such concessions would already have
been obtained by regular methods There no instance Of
society yielding anything tic which majority opposed
or even indifferent Ncr there any reason to believe that
majority can ever be so terrorized The has shown
that people will endure for many years infinitely greater
suffens than any general strike could hope 70 nc rather
than yield their sincere beliefs.
A general strike is, therefore, cOntradction'n TERMS
an exploded superstition and clumsy method of seeking an
end for which more effective methods are at hand 1t is
time intelligent people quit believing in such myths.
