Paris, Nov 1S.-R egardless of the American governments attitude, the peace treaty of Versailles will be put into force, according to the prevalent view here today following receipt of the report that President Wilson might withdraw the treaty from the United States senate.

Richard Folsom Cleveland, who, by
vote OF the student body at Princeton,
IS the one who has done most to up
hold the name and fame of the uni
verslty during the past year, is a son
of Grover Cleveland, twice President
of the United States. When the Uni
ted States entered the war young
Cleveland enlisted as private in the
marine corps. He did not seek, by
use of any pull or by trading on
his father S fame, to become an off
Ger or to put himself in line for an
officer S position. He is robust speci-
men of the American schoolboy and
college athlete. In addition to his fine
record i'll intercollegiate athletics he
has shown ability as q speaker and

daring to comment on this mode of
hair dressing which obtains among the
younger fashion devotees of late. 1t
repeats our own questionings when it
wonders if it may be modesty that
leads to covering the ears, but owns
that that idea seems fantastic when
other features revealed by modern
whims of fashion are considered. The
News also ventures a theory that it
may be to cover up the ears so not
to hear the frank and daring remarks
of today, but the prevalence of Gov
cred ears at suggestive movies dis
proves this theory. At the movies
ears are unnecessary-only. eyes and
the price of a ticket being required
The writer also presents another idea
"that the ears of the young things
are covered because they are not need
ed any more; that ears may in time
disappear altogether and the old oh
servation that man was given two ear:

as the promised land of the vaea
zionist this summer. Few states have
more to offer and the glories of no
state are less shown. Vermont needs
publicity. Her lakes and hills and
shady roads need advertising. Far too
few people know of us or what we have
to offer. If the state cannot afford to
invest money enough to do a good job,
the hotel and garage men of the state
could we'll get together and develop q
worth while plan.
Vermont has so long sat close to her
own wonders as to lack appreciation
of them. They are more than beauti-
ful-thev represent a definite money

If Jim Taylor and Lynn Hays could

would do for Vermont would be both a
wonder and a blessing.

FIUME.

What is Fiume?' is a question
that has been asked by many intelli
gent people during the last fortnight
and question that many other intel
ligent Americans could not answer
Fiume has been q royal free city of
Hungary since 1870 1t is an import
ant seaport town, with excellent har-
bors, on an inlet of the Adriatic sea.
1t is the only seaport of Hungary and
of many small countries now included
in Jugo- Slavia, the new nationality Gre
ated by the peace conference at Paris.
Two important contributory lines of
railroad extend from it into the in
terror
1t exports grain, flour, sugar, tim
Der and horses and imports coal, wine
and many mineral products. It's COM
mcree amounts to $50,OO0,OO0 4 year
1t commands all the commerce from a
naturally productive country and would
form an excellent base for a naval fleet
in case of hostilities.
| Italy wants it both for its CONNER
eial and strategic Importance. Nearly
half of its population is Italian and
that forms another claim for italian
possession.
As is well known there is opposition
to granting this city TO Italy be-
cause it is not Italian territory
and placing it under Italian con
troll Would place the sea o-rlet
Of the Jugo-Slavia territory under
control of rival nation. This Presi.
dent Wilson maintains would be an in
justice and violation of the principles
of justice upon which peace has been
negotiated.
That without comment is Fiume and
the Fiume question that threatens tc
delay the cause of international peace
at Paris.

Government and Labor.
Golfers Weekly

Frank NJ. Ball got out of the army just
after the Civil war and went to work in
a New York City postoffiee in April, 1865.
After 81 years of service he is now as
sistant superintendent of mails with
over 600 men and women under his direc
ton. In the meantime the, tasks and the
revenues of the local postoffice have null
tiplied more than a hundredfold; many
Improvements have been effected in the
service, in machinery, and in methods.
The work grows and is done. But the
rank and file of the mail carriers actually
make less money now than they did in
1865, and when Frank Ball finally quits
after half century in the harness he
will get no pension, no bonus, no any
thing. He will just be out of his job.
The failure of our government to give its
postal workers fair pay, good working
conditions, and decent pensions is a scan
dial which no one in Washington cares a
snap about. In the capital they are too
busy planning the extension of govern
mental authority to other fields.

DECLINE OF BURLEsoN.

Postmaster-G General Burleson evident
~ realizes he has been hit but is not
willing to admit who hit him. He is
trying to pose as the victim of the
magazine publishers of the country who
feel that his new zone postage rates
are unjust. But we have not seen a
a word from any magazine publisher
against him. We do see, however, that
the farmers of the West are sick of
his jumping telephone and telegraph
rates and Samuel Gompers, president
of the American federation, has issued
public statement saying Burleson
must "walk the plank sooner or lat
err Mr.. Gompers charges Mr.. Burle-
son with carrying ont can archaic
autocratic policy in the conduct of the
postal, telephone and telegraph servic-
es of the United States" and adds he
needs only wider field and better
opportunity to fit him for succession
to some of the world S best known but
unlam ex-dictators
Postmaster General Burleson s hostil-
ity to organized labor is the cause OF
Mr.. Gompers S dissatisfaction. Ii
must be evident to everybody but
Burleson that he has the dislike of al
classes of people. But he probably will
not give any more heed to public senti-
ment regarding himself than he has IL
other matters. He is down and should
have wisdom enough to get out.

A report issued by the railroad ad-
ministration gives comparative figures
of the number of employees and the
amount of wages paid railroad employ
es in December, 1917, the last month
of private operation of the railroads,
and January 1919. The increase in
the number of employees was s,5 per
cent and the increase in wages Is per
cent. The latter percentage. would
have been higher if the reduced sal.
aries of railroad officials had not been
included in the pay ron figures. These
figures show quite conelusively that
government operation is expensive.
