That the first zone will vote for Dem
mark is assured. The Slosvig Danes
have always retained their language
and Their sense of nationality and
Germany has never been able TO IA
bernize the hrst zone INTO prussian-
ism.
"yhere remains then The ail-inport-
ant second zone. This zone contains
the considerable ana growing port Of
Flcnsborp. whore the Germans are ad-
mittedly in d cons lderabe ma ajolity. I'm
the countryside there are many Ger
mans and many Danes. No one seems
to care to predict the way the voting
will go.
Granted a fair plebiscite, how wil
the voting go: For two generations
the second zone has been under Ger
man sovereignty and naturally the
cloa1-cut dividing limo Of nationality
has become blurred and indistiuct. One
can imagine the doubtful voter rea-
soning something in this manner: \
vote for Denmark means an escape
from the burden Of German taxation
He is naturally tempted to unhitch
his wagon from fallen star and he
sees in Denmark prosperous country
with free institutions and stable
government.

WHY WOOD Is STRONG.

Some weeks ago Washington
writer expressed tn, opinion that Cen
eral Wood was a strong candidate
and that his strength was giving anx
iety to the Republican supporters of
other candidates. because Wood ha 4
not been brought into contact with
important measures in such a way as
to arouse opposition, and that he was
strongly negatively because Of this
aloofness." On this the New York
Times makes the following spirttea
comment: -
Not till the millennium, perhaps,
will politicians divest their noddles OF
the theory that candidate is strong
because OF HIS negative qualities. be-
cause he has not collected this and
that group of opponents, because he
Is coiorless'and easy subject of COM
promise, and because both 'wingy OF,
all wings can get together in his
support. General Wood, whatever be-
the actual prospects of his candidacr
is strong in character and public sery-
ice,' yet his greatest strength is to DC
found IN his tact. energy, and success,
rs an administrator In Cuba and tn,
Philippines. He is. strong because
his hrm acts and words in respect to
the plots Of DANGEROUS asftators have
won public approval. AZ administrator
and man of action his achievements
entitle him to be q candidate for presi-
dent. Whytnot dwell on that proved
fitness7 But Republican leaders
must shut their eyes to that, say

WHY 1HosnsoNa

General Pershing has been visiting
chicago, and. as was appropriate. he
was greeted by admirtng thousands,
cheered to the echo. and entertained
at a big banquet All this was fitting
and proper. Pershing is entitled to
all the honors that are being heaped
upon him. But what business had
Mayor William III. Thompson at the
banquet. He was listed as to be
among those present at the speak
erg table, place where he certainly
lid not belong.
Thompson rs the man who refused
to extend tho courtesies OF the city to
distinguished representatives of the
European Allies; who turned the cold
shoulder toward, if he did not actually
obstruct, movements for the raising
Of funds for the prosecution of the
war, and for allied patriotic purposes:
and who declared. in attempted jus
tification of his un-American attitude,
that he was mayor Of the sixth Ger
man city in the world.
Thompson of Chicago most in
appropriate man to sit at the dinner
table with General Pershing!

MILWAUKEE, ENDORSES sEDI.
HON.

In tho election held to select a
member of congress from the Milwau-
kee district the American candidate
received, roughly, $4,000 votes, Ber-
ger, convicted seditionist, received
$4,000, and some 5000 persons did
not vote at all. OF those who did not
vote. undoubtedly some were debar-
red by unavoidable absence, illness
or other circumstances beyond their
control. Eliminating these, the rest
OF the nine thousand should be dis
franchised. In an election in which
the sole issue is the approval or repu-
diatiou Of treason and sedition the
man who has no opinion, or is so
little interested that he does not think
1t worth while to go to the polls and
register whatever opinion he has, is
not fit to have a vote, and it should
be taken away from him.
And what OF the c4,eOo-who voted
for Berger, convicted Of crimes against
the American government, sentenced
to prison for his crimes, debarred
from the house Of representatives be-
cause OF those offenses, bold. blatant,
unrepentant-whato of the people who
voted for him7
Some Of them are ignorant. Some
OF them have been misled by the ly-
ing statements that have been made
that there was a conspiracy to de-
prfve them OF the opportunity to
achieve economic reforms which they
desired. And a l0 Of them voted
for Berger because they are chips of
the same block, contemptuous as
he is Of American institutions, and
defiant OF the American government.
Berger will not take his seat in
congress. That will be easy But It
will not be SO easy to effect the clean
ing up which it is evident the city OF
Milwaukee so badly needs.

TIE NEW PLAN FOR IRELAND,

Ireland is q country Of perennial
interest to the rest Of the world, and
not tho least interesting among the
many things pertaining to it is the
latest plan announced from London
for the government Of that country.
If ireland had been all Catholic or
all Protestant the question of Irish
government would have been settled
long ago. As it is. the country is
chiefly Catholic, with ih northern
section. and by all means it's chief in
dustr1al section, largely Protestant.
There lies the root Of the trouble.
Time after time home rule has been
offered by the imperial parliament,
and several OF the plans suggested
have been acceptable to the Catholic
section provided Ulster should be in
cluded. Ulster refused and the rest of
Ireland rejected everything that look
ed toward her exclusion. In the
meantime the saparatists have gained
strength, and 1t is question whether
any scheme short of absolute inde-
pcnoence Wall DC acceptable to a suf-
ficiently large share of the population
to restore the peace that is SO sadly
needed
The summary Of the terms Of the
new proposal indicates that it con-
templates federation Of Irish states.
modelled somewhat on the American
plan, each controlling its own local
affairs, and all being represented in
the central Irish parliament, the en-.
tire people being represented, in turn

A PECULIAR VICTORY.

L
that the coal strike was not settled, -
but that the miners simply obeyed
the order Of the government and re-
turned to work, the rtsult being a de-
cided victory for the government and
= demonstration Of the power Of law.
There are a good many facts in
connection with the coal strike and
it's termination with which the public
is not familiar, and new facts are
cropping out every day. But the
facts which are in possession Of the
public by no means sustain the con-
tention Of Mr.. Palmer. Before the
strike was called the miners had the
hsnefit Of the opinion Of the president
that their contemplated action would
be Immoral and, illegal, and the un-
qualified declaration by the attorney
general that the laws of the land must
be respected and would be enforced
Within few days federal court,
lctt,g on the application of Mr.. Pal
mer, or his assistant, sustained the
charge Of illegality and ordered the
strike discontinued. The miners, al
most to a man. ignored the order
and continued their strike, bargain
ing and dickering for terms, rejecting
the settlement which the fuel admin
strator had declared to be fair, and
yielding only when the government
gave them assurance that this ar
rangenent would be only temporary.
and that the whole subject of wages
and prices would be considered in de-
tail by commission to be appointed
ut once.
Mr.. Palmer may regard this as a
victory for the government, but If so
his conception Of victory will strike
most people as peculiar.
If the government was right in its
contention that the strike was illegal
It should have declined to have any
dealings with those who were en-
gagged in the com mission Of this illegal
act SO long as they persisted in their
unlawful course, Suppose that the
government has said something like
this:
The proposed strike sis unlawful,
and win not be countenanced. Under
legislation properly passed the gov
ernment has full charge Of the pro-
ducton and distribution of coal. At
this season the country is in urgent
need Of coal, and the closing of mines.
either by strikes or by the acts Of
their owners will not be permitted.
Nine owners will not be permitted to
advance or reduce wages Or to ad-
vance prices Of GOAL except on proper
showing being made, All persons in
terferme with the production Of coal
VIII be treated as law breakers The
government is prepared to secure the
redification Of any inequities Of which
the miners complain, but only If and
while the applicants are performing
their duty as good citizens, and obey
ing the laws
Suppose some such statement "a
that had been made, would there
have been a strike? Perhaps. But
the attitude OF the government would
at least have commanded respect.
whereas ~ it u the government has
crested very strong impression that
Il b a thing TO be played with, and
we have had six weeks, strike. any,

PETROLEUM SHORTAGE. CAUSE OF LOW GRADE GASOLINE FUR GUTOs
[RepubIiean A. p. Leased wirel

COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug 27.- The limited supply of petroleum in the United States has forced refineries to put a lower grade of gasoline on the market and automobile manufacturers must expect to adjust their engines to the new specifications, according to Henry l.. Doherty. chairman of a com mittee of petroleum producers and re- liners which is now negotiating with the motor makers.
 This is one of the problems which is expected to come before a statistical and research bureau which the Ameri- can Petroleum Institute intends to establish in which the producers, re- liners and consumers of oil may join in co-ordinating their efforts for the improvement of the industry
 Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the United States Bureau of Mines, is also chairman of the improvement commit tee of the institute and this morning he made a recommendation to the in stitute directorate that the new bureau be established with an appropriation of $1,000,000 a year to be raised on a pro rata basis from refineries and pro- ducers.
 A special committee to consider his plan will be appointed tomorrow by President Thomas A. O'Donnell. Indi- vidual members of the institute ex- press the opinion that the Manning proposal will be favorably acted upon. The problem of using poor gas for automobiles is not new one, accord ing to Mir. Doherty, as his committee and one headed by John N. Willys of tae automobile manufacturers, have had it under consideration for several weeks.
 He said that there appeared to be no immediate means of increasing the output of high grade crude oil and that to meet the rapidly increasing de- mands of the market, the type of gaso line for motors had to be changed and the grade lowered. A satisfactory so- lution would be found, he predicted, which would not cause automobile owners to suffer serious loss in the efficiency of their fuel. A night ses- sion is being held.
