Idea for Feminine Apparel.

Professor Cimician noted certain
substances that have the permanent
quality of developing intense bril-
liancy of color when brought near the
light and fading away to dullness
again as the light decreases. he
urged research with view to obtain

bodies and their possible application

"Lcnicncy" Toward Germany

M UGH Of tho censure which has been
lV1 heaped on the peace conference at Paris
may be just 1t is quite true for example,
that there has been pickering among the
European nations. There has been i'm
perialism too manifest to be denied. There
have been unfortunate delays in reaching
conclusions, and there has been much
jockeying with the league OF nations. All
this is a matter of common knowledge and
of more or less bitter criticism in every coun-
try having immediate and vital interests at
stake in the peace about to be made.
But the charge that the allied group Of
nations has been too gentle with the enemy;
that it has been too idealistic or altrustc
in its attitude toward Germany and the whole
course OF the victorS, since the plea Of Ger
many for an armstice, has been one of I'M
warranted leniency, is charge unworthy of
any we'll or moderately informed man. Ger
many has not been let of with a mere
spanking.
Not only must Germany pay heavily for
the damage and the suffering which it has
wrought, but it is even now paying heavily.
The armistice which it was called on to &C.
cept was the most drastic decree ever I'M
posed upon great and powerful nation. 1t
was the most humiliating experience any
proud people ever passed through. In the
first place, that armistce forced Germany to
dissolve what had been the greatest military
machine the world ever saw and to substitute
for 1t a mere constabulary Of 100000 officers
and men. 1t compelled the absolute and IN
conditional surrender Of the German navy,
the second in armament in the world up to
1914. 1t meant the sacrifice of almost the
whole OF the German merchant marine, like
wise the second upon the seas.
Not only this, but Germany was required
to deliver into the hands Of the enemy the
entire area south Of the Rhine, the most
valuable section OF the old empire. 1t was
compelled TO sign away forever all title
to Alsace and Lorraine. 1t was COM
PEELED to give up every colony it had
upon the face of the earth, and to do it with
the certain knowledge that the colonial pos
sessions would never again be returned to it.
Germany was warned that it must permit the
partitioning Of East Prussia, and was ordered
to withdraw the last OF its soldiers from con-
quered territory in Russia and elsewhere 1t
was required to give up every allied prisoner
OF war without being able to claim a single
German prisoner of war. and was informed
that it must find means OF paying for the
wanton losses brought about in allied terri
tory and upon the high seas if 1t were neces-
sary to mortgage itself for century in
which to do it
All this was preliminary. All OF It was
in line with the program OF complete dis
armament OF Germany, on the one hand, and
OF paving tho way for retributive peaco on
the other. Who can look these facts straight
in the face and still argue that the allies
have been too generous with Gcrmil ny? Who
can honestly contend, with the record before
him, the peace conference is now bent upon
allowing Germany to got of too easy?

Decorating Leonard Wood

1T was to be expected that tho 100 per cent
L partisans would grow sarcastic over the
award OF military medal 10 Major-Gcneral
Leonard Wood. II was to be expected that
his friends would sncer at this action and
taunt the War Department again with the re-
hinder that this officer was compelled 10
earn his honors in division training camps
and not upon the field OF battle Nobody
conversant with the fashion in which Wood
presidential boomers carry on their cam
paigning failed TO foresee the kind of cdi-
torials which the Republican newspapers are
printing and the kind OF uttcrances which
the strictly Republican interview specialists
are giving out.
The attempt to mako General Wood
martyr has failed. The attempt TO show
that this officer was denied active service i'm
France because OF jealousy in Democratic
councils has never succeeded. The hope Of
damning Woodrow Wilson and Newton d.
Baker because OF the Wood incident NAV not
be wholly abandoned, but it might as we'll
be, SO far as the country at large is concerned
III is now matter Of common knowledge that
General Wood kept from overseas SER
vice by one John j. Pcrshing who happened
TO be in command Of tho cxpeditonary force.
The veto came from that source. General
Wood knows that it did; his friends know
that it did, and the people generally know
that it did. True. Secretary Baker might
have ovcrruled General Pcrshing and in
sisted upon the field commander accentjnp
Wood. All this was quito possible, but Mr..
Baker did not happen to be that sort of an
executive. He held General Pershinr re-
sponsible for results in France, and he did
not propose to force that officer to accent
the service OF subordnates in whom he had
( no confidence.
| II President Wilson or Secretary Baker
| had been guilty OF shelving General Wood,
| they should be censured without mercy. IL
! they had allowed that officer to reach the
! port OF cmbarkation with his division then
relieved him and Inundated him for no other
| reason than that they feared he would make
| too brilliant war record. these officials
! should be impcached. But 1t was the COM
nander-in-chief OF the expeditionary army
who demanded that General Wood be kent
at home II a Republican field officer
who slapped his fellow Republican in the
face.
Even So the award OF Distinguished Ser
vice Medal to General Wood is a graceful
and appropriate thing. He is not military
hero, but he is a valuable officer and a useful
citizen and he did his work we'll at home
fle is entitled to his decoration and althou oh
there may be Republicans who would have
denied it to him, a Democratic administers
tion felt that he should have it. and gave
it 10 him.
