President Wilson will return to Am

tory. Information has reached the
senate that no less than 2IO enlist
ed men in the Photographic section
of the American army are being held
under orders in Paris. They want to
come home and get their DISCHARGES.
ii was stated. The work in their resu-
lar line of duty could be performed
better at home, it is said But they
are kept in Paris. so the story runs,
because many OF them are necessary

dent and the peace delegation.
This information came to Sena.
tor PoindeNter. of Washington, in
letter from one of the enlisted
photographers. Senator Poindexter's
informant stated that all of the men
were anxious to get home, but were
held in the service to devote much of
their time to taking pictures of the
president and making prints OF neg
ativeS.
When Major Griffin, the official
photographer with the Wilson party.
reached Paris on the lst trip Of the
president he turned over to the army
Photographic section no less than
800 negatives taken on the trip
across the Atlantic. A number of
photographers were put to work turn
ing out prints, with the result that
approximately 5000 were produced,

One enlisted man was detailed to
accompany the president to England
and Italy. He returned with no less
than AGO negatives, showing the pre-
sident in multiplicity OF poses re-
ceiving the plaudits of the admiring

The decision is the first given In a
number of suits in various states
wherein increased rates were tested
in the courts. In making the injunc-

the exclusive right OF the state in re-
gulating telephone rates.
The temporary injunction was

According to Examiner Fred Rasch

bearing at present in Oregon. as the

The Oregon case Is before the COM

not the proposed raise is justified. A

A Spirit of Cooperation

Let him not plant himself upon the
ground of an assumed infallibility, but
show himself ready to enter into the
feelings of those who question his po-
sition. If he cannot yield anything to
their objections, let him show that his
refusal is due, not to preconceived
determination, but to the demonstrated
necessities of the situation; and If he
can yield, let him do so with good
grace and in a spirit of cooperation.
All this may be too much to hope, but
it is along this line that, in our 5udg-
ment. a speedy and satisfactory end
ing of the controversy is to be sought.
"Mr. Wilson may seek it in another
wav. He may, as ne has done in the
past. meet opposition with sheer de-
6ance. and he may win. But it is also
possible that he may lose, and in that
case it will be little comfort to him
or to the country to put the blame on
the 'wilfulness' Of his opponents. How
great a stake all the world has In the
speedS ratification Of the peace treaty
only the most thoughtless can fall to
realize. To do all that can rightfully
be done to bring about this great end
is a duty that rests not only upon Re
publicans, but also upon Democrats

from "a candid friend" signed The

that you have fulfilled your promises

America who understand the details OF

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-07-06

That the Democrats are doing

Distant YETI:
ITO the superficial view the change
suggests hnality - the nations have
counseied together and established
peace, and the world. il seems. Is freed
from war or the imminent threat OF II.
Yet upon sober examination it will
become clear that this is the least con-
elusive document of the kind in his
tory. In the very nature Of things this
must be so, for decisions affecting so
many races, territories and issues can
be reached only by the processes of
evolution, and the best that supreme
international authority can do is 70
anticipate the direction Of events and
apply to them. so far as possible, the
principles Of Justice. But in any case
it must always be borne in mind that
what has been accomplished is not and
could not be a settlement. but only the
adoption of programme Of settlement
the carrying out Of which will require
for many years the operation OF moral
political, economic and armed force.
