Lose Skating Privilege.

The two moats which encircle the
castle are covered with ice sufficiently
thick to bear skaters. The villagers,
however, have been given to under
stand that the accustomed PERMISSION
to skate in the moats cannot be
accorded while the former emperor Is
in the castle.
There are various reports in circu-
lation concerning the alleged inten-
tion of the former German empress
based on her expressed desire to end
her days at Potsdam, which she re-
CARDS as her home. The former en-
press, it is said, has no intention of
leaving her husband in Holland.
Communication between the former
empress and her children and grand
children is fairly frequent by letter
and kilograms, but no suggestion
has arisen of her joining them in
Germany.

Gen. Won Istorff. whose wife is an
American, will continue sto devote

AMERONGEN. Wednesday,, January

hours each morning and afternoon
within the castle grounds working
hard, while several man servants
respectfully hand him logs and then
pile the short sticks in heaps for use

The shortage of coal in Holland

The decision of the supreme council
on the Russian question meets with a
mixed reception on the part of the

full"
On the other hand, the Journal says:

solution adopted has caused a pain
full impression upon the French For
eign Minister Pichon expressed pub
lie sentiment when he said in his
speech Of December 20 and his letter
Of January 5, No compromise with

The Echo de Paris says: 'Insensate
as may be the settlement now pro-
posed, it has at least the merit of rid
ding US of the still more harmful So
luton Of bringing the boasheviki to Paris
and giving them the opportunity OF re-
peating on allied territory the Brest-
Litovsk propaganda"
The Figaro says: mo solution of the
Russian problem has yet been found,
but broad and fair-minded inquiry is
opened by the associated powers
under their auspices It is to be
hoped the bolshevik agents will not
take advantage of this temporary
respite to continue their propaganda

A Doubtful Document.

1t was suggested in debate the other
day in the Senate that possibly the
alleged draft of a treaty between
Japan and Germany negotiated &C
cording to report last October might
have been bolshevik forgery. This
is quite conceivable. 1t is, indeed.
conceivable, furthermore, that it was
Of German origin. 1t must he remem-
Eered that the document was "dscov-
cred in Berlin during the revolution
and was found later in Russia by an
American officer There is no other
evidence hearing on the case, nothing
to develop the probability of an ac-
tual japanese approach of Germany
en- the eve of the armistice.
Japan has never been charged with
stupidity in her diplomatic moves.
She has always been shrewd and fore
seeing. If in October, 1918, Japan ap-
preached Germany for a possible al
iiance she must have been totally
blind to the fact that Germany was
then rapidly losing ground and that
her defeat was only matter of time.
For in October the German armies
were in full retreat in France and
Belgium. Had this so-called treaty
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-07-17

developed in public. Nothing will re-
main at the close but polling the full
Senate as to the appointment. Why
not take the vote in the open, so that
the public may know how senators
ranged themselves in cases made so
interesting by public investigations!
As everybody knows, secret sessions
of the Senate have never really an
swered that description. The doors of
the chamber when closed have never
fitted as tightly as desired. In some
way reports of the sessions have found
their way into print, and some have
been so full and accurate complaints
have followed about the leaks.
As "A consequence, prominent sena
tors at different times have proposed
the abolition of a proceeding which
failed fully to justify itself. They
have urged open results openly ar
rived at. Let the public Gin" on every
thing by arrangement.
That proposition may now be re-
newed Secrecy is under general at
tack. 1t is charged with much of the
confusion that exists as to the doings
at the peace conference, where the
doors were closed, and speculation
about what was going on inside took
a wide range and did a lot of harm.

The Army Food Stock.

With nine truckloads of Army food
in Washington for retail disposal the
people will have an opportunity to
obtain certain staples at much lower
prices than those that prevail in the
| market. It is hardly to be expected,
however, that this sale will result in
any appreciable or protracted effect
upon the prevailing prices. The bene-
| fit of the transaction will be felt,
| nevertheless, by those who obtain the
goods. Safeguards must be adopted
to prevent buying in too large guam
titles. These supplies should be dis
tributed as widely as possible, among
as many people as can be served by
the sale. And there should be
no doubt of the speedy exhaustion of
the entire stock. 1t would be lamenta-
BILE if after having brought these sup
plies here at its own expense in trans
portation the government could not
sell them quickly to the people. That,
however, is hardly to be apprehended.
Foods are too high in the market for
this chance of cheap buying to be
overlooked.
