Hitchcock's Defense of the Treaty.

Senator Hitchcock, administration spokes-
man for the Versailles treaty, has made his
long advertised defense of that document. 1t
consists of series of assertions, rather than
connected argument, and presents real rea-
son for ratification. Dealing with Shantung.
he resorts to the same form of avoidance as
characterized the presidents course. Instead
of an intelligent discussion of what is involved
in the provision, with its manifest in justice to
China, the senator tells us that England and
France are willing to ratify the deal with Japan.
and asks if the United States can afford not to
60 along with them.
The real question u.s. Can the United States
afford to become party to the transaction,
which on its face bears the marks of treachery
to China, and the negotiation of which is the
outcome of that secret diplomacy against which
all Americans are set? Will our self-respect be
maintained if for expediency we give assent to
the INSCRIPTIONS grab by which Japan gets the
richest province of China, along with 100000
Chinese?
The immense benefits to be forfeited in
event the treaty fails consist of Germany's con-
sent to submit to justice in the matter of repair
ations and damages. As the United States has
ldlu CidllHS Olliy " SuSH lSPdl dun do NO'Sio
private claims for damages, it is not plain
where any escape for Germany is provided. AS
to the acts of the alien property commissioner,
these will stand on their merits, regardless of
whether we have German approval or not. The
work was done in conformity with law, and its
endurance requires valuation by the Ger
man government. That provision of the treaty
is formal only, and in no sense vital.
Vital questions in connection with the
League of Nations were not considered by the
senator, probably being reserved for another
time-after the president has made his per-
sonal appeal to the country The position of
the treaty has not been greatly strengthened
by the latest effort of its most distinguished
champion.

The Edith CQvell Execution

Humanity's revulsion against the execution
/ OF Edith Cavell by the Germans is not miti-
gated one ot by the minority report of the
committee. on military law of the American
Bar association, which says the execution was
in accordance with the laws and usages of civ
ilized warfare"
Whatever the merits of the case in the tests
OF law considered in detached way the de-
cent element of mankind will not overlook the
tact that the German armies had neither a
legal nor moral right to be on Belgian soil
/ =. all or to have any authority whatever over
the life and conduct of Edith Cavell on that
soil.
In sending its armed forces into Belgium
/ the German government broke faith with other
spowers and violated its own solemn agreement
/ that under such circumstances as arose it would
respect the neutrality of the little country Did
not Germany, by an act of invasion, forfeit any
right whatever to a standing in court save
that OF archcriminal?
Are we to understand from this minority re-
! port that it sanctions this heartless invasion
carried out under violated promise? Prob
ably not but there is the fundamental, ugly fact
of a treaty prosttuted into scrap of paper"
and that fact properly is taken into account in
either a legal or moral appraisal of Germany's
execution of this heroic self-sacrihcing woman.
When Germany carried out this execution
decree Germany already had become an armed
burglar and murderer and despoiier of woman
hood on forbidden Belgian soil. in the judgment
of all those who hold that it is an imperative
duty of nation individual to keep the
written or spoken word Getting down to the
rock bottom of fact and right Germany had no
more proper business in Belgium at that time
than she had in Maine. She was cruel tres
lpasser without the shadow of accepted justhca-
ton for her presence there. How then are we to
sreconcie this world verdict concurred in by
many Germans themselves. with an opinion
now put forth by an American legal authority
that the Staying of this good woman was ad-
INVISIBLE under the laws and usages of civil
ized warfare?"-Minneapolis Tribune.

AUSTRIA AND THE WORLD WAR

Along with the peace treaty goes formal
note to Austria, charging responsibility for the
world war; 1t is set forth plainly that the plea
in avoidance set up by the legatees of the late
empire can not be given serious consideration.
While the intrgues that preceded and followed
the utimatum to Serbia, the match that
touched off the train leading to the great ex-
ploson emanated from the circles closest to
the Hapsburgs, it is equally true. that the peo-
pie OF Austria welcomed the war. In all their
history they were never more submissive or
loyalty attached to the fortunes of the Haps-
burg dynasty and the Austrian aristocracy than
in the days after the world war was set in
motion.
The Czechs and the Slavs alone are freed
from this indictment. They had ties of blood
with the Serbs and the Russians, as we'll as
their own grievances, and it was known by
some then as it is known by all now, that the
Bohemians and other of the Slavic races held
in bondage in the Austrian empire would be
source of trouble to the German alliance. The
military put forth its utmost efforts to suppress
the disaffection and throttle the patriotic i'm
pulse of these unwilling subjects of the Haps-
burgs, with only the result that the hardships
naturally incident to war were greatly in
creased in Bohemia, for example, by reason of
the vicious enforcement of military orders.
But the Germans and Magyars under the
emperor and his successors were for the war.
Now they are presented with the bill, and must
settle Terms have not been made easy for
them; they are expected to take the losers
end Impossibilites are not asked, only such
things as may be done by dint of diligence and
economy. The throne of the Hapsburgs has
been swallowed in the dust of the empire it
represented, but the sins committed by its oc-
cupants will haunt their subjects for genera

another part Of the trick he had
plotted with the birds. And they
saw why the birds towed him
through the air instead of flying free
and fast as they might have done.
For as soon as Balky Sam began
swimming the birds clustered on his
back, clinging tightly to him. They
were using him as ferryboat to
cover the water part Of the race.
