France, which, since the outbreak of
the great war, justly considers herself
an outpost nation guarding a frontier
of civilization, strongly urged the crea-
ton of an immediate international
army and navy to enforce the rulings
of the society of nations. Leon BOur
geois argued earnestly for the con-
stitution of such a force and for the
placing of it in France until all danger
of an attack by Germany was at an
end. This was opposed, especially by
American and British representatives,
who showed that it was contrary to the
constitutions of their countries. The
long discussion ended in an agreement
that if country should be attacked,
in violation of the rules of the league
the attacked country would employ
her military forces as covering
troops and await aid from those 9th
er nations that could most easily give
1t.
1t is scarcely conceivable that this
solution of the question can be salts
factory to France. The great war
demonstrated that in a sudden shock
attack a nation can suffer immense
damage before her allies can mobilize
their forces and transport them to the
scene of conflict. This is just what
France fears will happen again with
Germany again as the aggresSor, and
her alarm, though it may be as fool
ish as some correspondents think it,
will not be allayed until or unless the
allies render the Huns militarily inn
potent before the treaty of peace is
signed. There is a growing feeling in
Paris that the American and British
delegates are disposed to be too leni-
ent with Germany and too prone to
adopt the insidious claim of the Ger
mans themselves that their former rul-
ers and not the people were RESPONSE
BILE for the war and its horrors. The
French reassert the well-known TACT
that the German people as whole ar
IDENTIFY supported their government in
the conduct of the war and gave ap-
prevail to the outrages committed by
officers and soldiers alike.

Their Need for Safety Pins.

An archeologlst recently dug up a
safety pin from the ruins of ancient
Babylon. Judging from the pictures in
the Babyloniaa section of the histories,
however, it seems that safety pins
were worn mostly by the gr0wnups In

Among the interesting developments
of the week was the dispute between
China and Japan, relating to the dis
position of Shantung province and
Tsfngtao and in general the conces-
sions which China had been forced to
grant to Germany. These, it appears,
Japan is trying to obtain for herself,
and China relies on the peace confer
ence for protection. The council of the
five great powers asked that all secret
agreements made by Japan and China
with each other and other nations
since the beginning of the war be sub
mitted TO it. This was in accord with
the desires of the Chinese, and the
japanese government complied with
the demand.
The japanese threw another small
monkeywrench into the machinery by
the fiat statement that they intended
TO hang onto the Caroline and Mar
shall islands, which they took from
Germany, notwithstanding the ex-
pressed will of the peace conference
that all the captured colonies should
be governed by manufactures of the
League of Nations. The outcome of
this is uncertain.

million, to be raised by voluntary en-

the country over the period of occupa-

the nation is to be left virtually with
out an army, as 1t was before the great

the advocates of preparedness.

their national assembly at Weimar be-
came more arrogant than ever. Their
attitude was accurately reflected by
Ebert who, in his speech accepting the
office, said: 1--WE shall combat DOM
inatiOn by force to the utmost, from
whatever direction it may come. We
wish to found our state only on the
basis of right and on our freedom to
shape our destinies at home and
abroad"
Matthias ErZberger, before meeting
the entente chiefs to negotiate an ex-
tension of the armistice, conferred
with officials in Berlin, and it was said
they determined that he should de-
mand that the allies recognize the new
German government.
All this, and the fact that the enemy
countries were preserving enough war
material to permit them to equip
quickly an army of 100000 men, had
full effect on the supreme war cOun-
Gil when it decided on conditions of
renewal of the armistice. The mill
tary members and the newly added
economic members agreed on the
terms, which are designed to place
Germany in such q situation that she
cannot renew military operations. The
German authorities were called on to
furnish full information of the war
material of all kinds in their posses
sion. The council also decided, ac-
cording to one correspondent "tO make
Germany realize that we are the con-
querOrs and that it is not white
peace that we are seeking to impose
on her."
According to reliable information,
the armistice is renewed for very
brief time, the allies reserving the
right to suspend it if Germany fails
to carry out the new clauses, which in
clude the cessation of hostilities
against the Poles. Meanwhile a spe
cial commission is to draw up armis-
tice terms to last until the peace
treaty is signed. These terms will
provide for the rehabilitation of the
German army and the disarmament of
the nation under the supervision of the
allies. The German government, it
was said, was given to understand
plainly that if it was recalcitrant the
resumption of the war by the allies
was by no means out of the question.
The firm attitude of the supreme war
council possibly was due in some
measure to an impressive speech by
Premier Clemenceau, in which he
showed the council the necessity of
taking all precautions against the
treacherous Huns. In this he was sup
ported by President Wilson.
If Germany submits and acts in APP
parent good faith, it is likely some
economic measures will be adopted
that would facilitate the resumption
of her peace activities to consider
able extent But if this goes too far
France will have another cause Of
complaint, for both she and Belgium
argue, with seeming justice, that their
industries, destroyed by the Huns.

are permitted to resume commercial re-
lations and capture the markets.

The administrations big navy bin,
bOlstered semi-secret cablegram
from President Wilson to the house
naval committee, had a stormy time in
the house last week. The minority de-
nOunced it as a bluff measure de-
signed to enable Mr.. Wilson to force
on the peace congress certain of his
ideas for the league of nations, and
for day it was blocked by the point
of order that it authorized the presi-
dent to construct the navy without
making any appropriation. The Re
publicans laughed with scorn at an
amendment proposed by Chairman
Padgett appropriating $2,000,000 with
which to build battleshjps costing
$210,000,00O, and the Democrats hast
lily adjourned. Next day, however, the
administration leaders had their wan
and the bill for the three-year build
ing program, carrying $721, 100000 for
the naval establishment during the
next fiscal year, was adopted by the
house.

In the United States the anarchists,
whose Vaccinations were largely re-
SpOnSible for the strikes on the Pa
cific coast and in Montana and Arr
IONA, sustained q hard blow from the
government. 1T developed that the
agents of the bureau of immigration
had been gathering up a lot of the

pared to depOrt them, awaiting only
the necessary shipping. A big bunch
of these ScampS were taken, under

sympathy with their doctrines under
took to obtain their release under
writS of habeaS corpus. The anarch-
lists make war on organized labor as
much as on capitalism, and the par
liamentary committee of the British
trades union congress has declared
that the unauthorized strikes which
they cause cannot be tolerated. Down
on the Argentine Chile border the dis
turberS have caused so much trouble
that those two countries are preparing
to take joint action against them.
They are fast becoming the Ishmaels
of the entire world, but they seem to
glory in having the hands of all decent
folk against them.
