Reciprocal.

The treaty which we have signed
with France imposes upon us the duty
of sending another A. E. F. to Europe
if Germany begins again to fortify the
Rhine valley, or to take other steps
of an aggressive nature.
The British are likewise bound to
send another B. E. F. to France under
the same conditions. All three of us
are signatories to the treaty.
Now it would seem at first that the
treaty is little one-sided. The
French and British do not bind them
selves to lend US an army and fleet if
we are attacked by Mexico or Japan.
And, as consequence, a number of
critics are complaining that we have
again been victimized.
But the one-sidedness of the treaty
is only apparent. 1t may grieve a
number of us to see this country as
Stunning any of the obligations implied
in a foreign alliance. Perhaps they are
right. Any treaty at all may be bad
policy for the United States. But
that does not make this treaty unfair.
France is compelled to maintain a
stupendous army to over-awe German
military ambition, and the resulting
financial burden presses heavily on
her economic strength. She is for
ever on guard-and as Germany has
score to settle with us as well as
with her, this is fortunate for our
selves. Here is where France recipro-

Great Britain also. It is we'll for us
that England can pay for navy
which will prevent the Germans from
sending warships to sea, and incident

II Britain and France can pay the

ly call the treaty one-sided. Wilson
and Lansing probably had few OF
these facts in mind when they signed
| it.

Grain and Railroads.

We are told that the crops this year
will break few records. It is fairly
evident that they are going to be large
But the farmer can not eat his own
wheat. Not all of it. He may raise
turnips, but he does not mean to live
on turnips exclusively for the rest OF
his life. His idea is to sell his pro-
duce, rather than to eat it himself.
These are fairly elementary truths,
and we would apologize for expressing
them if they appeard to be universal
ly known. But they do not. They
don't seem to be appreciated at Wash
ington.
Wheat is not much use to the con-
sumner if it can not be transported to
him. And the railroads do not at
present look as though they could do
it. Then how is it to be carried? In
aeroplanes?
The banks have been preparing to
finance the moving of the crops, as
they do each year; but just now it
looks as though fiscal adjustments
were going to be held up. The rail-
roads seem unable to say anything de-
finite about the prospect of repaying
any loans. Congress was going to ar
range some settlement which would
enable the roads to confer with the
banks on footing of some certainty,
but it has omitted to do so, with the
prospect that the grain will remain in
the elevators and food prices will soar
to heaven.

Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await

applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
