Paying a high tribute to the work Oh
the various welfare agencies serving
the A E. F., Secretary of War Newton
D. Baker, who returned recently from
a tour of inspection and Investigation
of our army in France and the occu-
pied portion of Germany, has maze
a public statement with reference 10
the magnitude and accomplishments
of the Young Mems Christian Assocla-

the Secretary of War, "by reason OF
it's longer establishment, its larger ex-
periences and it's larger facilities, mad
the greater part of this work to do,

This statement was made by Secre-

awarding of the Croix de Guerre 10

in France. At the request OF DR.. Jonn

Secretary Baker gave high praise 10
its work from his personal observation

Baker ~'T do not know whether can

There never was a less compIi-

1t was as simple in its methods as a
snowslide. One day there was an
obedient army and a somewhat I'M

the one side and a noisy kaiser and
rowdy heir-at-law and twenty odd
dressed up sovereigns on the other

There was no conspiracy. No one

luton on record. An army of seven
million men-German figures-along

CZECHS AND POLES GRANT
ONLY A LIMITED TRUCE
Allied Commission Is Given Just
Time to Examine Teschen Coal
Fields Situation.

PARIS, February (by the Associated
Press) The allied commission which
leaves for Poland next Saturday to
adjust controversies between the Poles
and Czechoslovaks over the Teschen
coal fields has been able to arrange a
truce between the two nationalities only
pending the arrival of the commission
and personal examina ton by it Of the
situation there.
Accordingly the arrangement pres
cribes the sections where the Poles and
Czechs are to exercise civil administra-
ton and military occupation. and
OF the output of mines. AS soon as
possible after its arrival, the commission
will go to Teschen to examine the
n after at issue. This, although almost
unknown to the outside world, has been
a very important and dangerous factor
affecting relations between the newly
created states.
Title to the duchy of Teschen is
involved in the controversy. This duchy
was formerly q part of ;he crown lands
of Austrian Silesia. and has population
of less than 100000. 1t is about the
size of Rhode Island. It is valuable
because the coal it produces is the only
coal within the boundaries of either
Poland or Czechosloyakia which will
coke, and it is regarded as indispensable
to the manufacturing interests. of each
state.
The Czechs' claim rests on suzeraint,
exercised over the country by the kings
OF Bohemia in the fourteenth century
and the fact that coking coal is more
essential to them than to the Poles They

through the district is the only con-

eff We Had Won the War

That a successful war would have
saved the kaiser almost all agree
which fact may conceivably have
had a bearing on the kaiser's deci-
sion in 1914. Some light may be
thrown upon this by the white book,
which Haase of the council of six
told me is in preparation. and which
he said will contain every document
we can find which has to do with the
action taken in that year" A success
full war might even have saved the
crown princes crown, though this is
doubtful. The crown prince seems to
have been such a thoroughbred rot
ter that even people well broken
to n1onarchical PAGES might not have
put up with him as a ruler. But the
agreement is fairly universal that:
The war was popular while we
seemed to be winning;
IF we had won Germany would
have become the greatest nation in
the world;
'"The kaiser would have been the
greatest man in the world"
1t is true there had been some
slight leaven at work. For years the
socialist party had been preaching
democratic doctrine. The German
eyes were being gradually opened as
shown by the kaiser's vague pledge
of political reform some months back.
That was too vague to aliay the dis
content. Throughout the war the So
cialists maintained their organiza-
ton, although the leaders of the ma
jority socialists were loyal to the
kaiser and the war. Then came the
events of 1918.
