PUT THE SETTLEMENT INTO EFFECT.

satisfied with the work of their Representatives ct Paris
The literal truth is that the Paris conference dCec not
command the confidence of the allied peor.cs which it
possessed ct the beginning of the proceedings. Much
this impaired grestge due to the delegates lack of
fdence in the allied peoples, proved by the unprece
dcne secrecy fIrtiveness with which the confer
has acted the peoples do not fully trust the
ference is because the conference docs not tus the
peoples The situation thus created may easily ruin the
individuals and bring nations into conflict.
The conference trying to complete its reply to
the Germans The allied world waiting for the ultima
tum that is slow in coming The common people every
where uneasy fretful and increasingly suspicious be-
of the failure Of the Paris conference grasp Ger
many by the throat and put the settlements into effect
That what must be DONE and yet the council of four
hestat, shift ground, debate and hint of making
ccssons to the worlds enemy Why? Because they fear
the Huns "wil not sign and therefore that resumption
of hosite might be necessary alternative which they
fear would be intensely Objectionable to the allied peoples
Cannot the Paris delegates perceive that delay and
ndecision exasperating to their masters and
more dang to the world than anything else at this
uncture? The Huns prolongng the proceedings
the utmost possible degree hoping that the allied nations
will lose control of themselves. The enemy has much to
encourage him in this hope The situation in Italy
American interference in the Adriatic dispute ought
serve as warning against further delay in bringing
German and Austrian enemies to their knees
The allied peoples friends and doing their best
to maintain harmonious relations. President Wilson's ap
peal to the Italian people throw their govern
ment gained no more applause here than did in Italy
The American people do not approve of interference in
European affairs. They beginning to make this dis
approval quite emphatic They appreciate the fact that
most of the delay at Paris is attributable to American
reference and the nssence upon the league of nations
project.
Although the American delegates have taken it upon
themselves conceal the treaty from the American peo
ple-an act of incredible folyhe people willing to
have the treaty imposed upon the Germans forthwith
the allied peoples satisfied The sentiment of the
erage American is in favor of giving France England and
Italy full swing in binding the enemy. These
European democraces know best how to make themselves
,afe from the Hun. They would have done by this
time if they had not been prevented from taking quick
practical action.
Long delay and uncertainty playing havoc in Eng
land and France well in Italy The labor situation
in England is volcano coming into action, while the
French people giving unmsakabe warning that they
will not endure mystery and doubt much longer The

1t is not wise to conceal from the Americans the dan
ers that surround delay and secrecy at Paris Americans
vitality concerned especially since the time when their
representatives. without authority and perhaps against
he will of the people, took it upon themselves to dictate
allied nations what they should and should not do An
lpheaval in England, France and Italy would change the
whole situation and might enable Huns escape full
punishment The American delegates at Paris play

Parleying with the Huns vicious from the first, but
extremely dangerous The Paris conference must
