And, sir, I may add, that to those of us who know you it is re- freshing but not surprising to find that after all the supreme power, the i high station, the lOrdly associates and the unstinted compliments to which you have been accustomed, you nave developed neither arrogance nor aftec- tation but that you have come back as you went away, modest, straight forward, unspoiled."
 Clark Presents Resolution. The form resolution of thanks was then presented to the general by former Speaker Clark who said:
 "General, you commanded more men than any other American soldier ever commanded-more, we hope, than any other American will ever command, for every sane and pa triotic American most fervently hopes that our country, so favored by Heaven in all that makes for true manhood, and womanhood, will never be involved in another war.
 Your singular fortune has given you command of troops on three con- tinents, America, Asia and Europe In the world war by universal ac- claim your conduct was superb and makes one hundred and ten millions of Americans proud to claim you as our countryman. Of all your actions, the one for which we are most pro- foundly grateful and for which we love you best, was that you strongly and triumphantly insisted that you and your men would fight only as an Am erican army and not merely as replacement troops fol British, French, Italians or Belgians. That feat was the acid test of your robust Americanism. It caused all our hearts to swell with ineffable pride and entitled you to our eternal grati- tude

 Extra ordinary military rank should be conferred only for extraordinary services in the field. In apprecia- tion of your services, the congress, voicing the sentim ents of the Ameri- can people, have conferred on you in perpetuity the extra ordinary rank of full general-the highest military honor within our power to bestow, and in honoring you we feel that we are honoring ourselves.
 Tn addition to the permanent gen. eralship, the congress has rendered you individually and to your officers and men enmasse the thanks of the American people and of the congress of the United States-a rare honor in itself conferred in our entire history on only a very few of our distin- guished citizens for extra ordinary services to the republic
 The resolution of thanks is in these words:
 The thanks of the American people and of the congress of the United States are due and are hereby rendered to Gen. John J. Pershing for his highly distinguished services as commander-i in chief of the Amer ican expeditionary forces in Europe and to the officers and men under his command for their unwavering duty and valor throughout the war.

A strange state of affairs exists at Plume, where the Italian poet-soldier. Gabrielle D'Annunzio, with an irregu- lar, force of soldiery variously esti- mated in numb Der up to twelve thou sand, has proclaim ed the union of the city with Italy.
 Premier Nitti officially regrets the episode, but reports that the Italian troops sent to dislodge D'Annunzio have refused to do so. This shows better than words could do how strong the Italian feeling is regarding Plume. If the Paris peace conference finally decides to withhold the city from Italy. making it independent or giving 1t to Jugoslavla, the way will be paved for moro trouble.

THE CAPITAU-LABOR CONFERENCE.

President Wilson's announcement 1t of appointees on the board for the capital, labor and agricultural confer ence to be held in Washington, October 6, appears as if he had chosen his list with absolute fairness to all concerned. Labor and capital still have their own men to choose to make the role of arbiters complete
 We find, among the names, those of prominent educators farmers and men who had in control, Labor, dur ing the war. All them are unbiased, as far as we know.

 The other interests will provide those who will prove anxious to pro- mote their own ideas Labor will choose labor advocates, capital fol- lowers of the employers of labor If nothing else, we will be treated to a tribunal of great importance, where many views will be aired and many sore spots, we hope, be ironed out

The conference does not so much

of Europe and America as much as
its consequences on the newly an
nouhced system of states" Bolshev-

has not as much influence on the

at first; but the new European equili-
brium was conceived at Versailles on
the basis of the old centers of gravity

The. scheme for great Poland hav-
ing failed and the scheme for the re-
construction of great Russia, which
presumes the nonrecognition of the
smaller states into which the former
Russian empire is now divided, hav-
ing failed, Clemenceau suggested a
third solution of the problem, a triple
alliance between Poland, Ukrainia and
Roumania, which would form block
of 100000 to sO,OOO,0OO people able
to face simultaneously Bolshevism to
the east and Germany to the west.
When this suggestion was first
made the Ukrainians refused to con-
slider it, because the peace conference,

RussIAN pRoBLEM GRAVE.


PARIS, Nov. 22.-"The Russian
I problem is poisoning my peace Of
mind. 1t makes me look upon the fu-
ture of France with the gravest mis-
givings."
These words, authoritatively cred
tied to have been uttered by Premier
Clemenceau to some intimate friends
few days ago, are symptomatic of
the confusion, uncertainty and anxiety
into which the peace conference has
been thrown of late.
If the stenographic reports Of the
daily meetings of the supreme council
were published the man in the street
would be astonished to discover that
the diplomats delegated by the big
powers to restore peace to Europe are
spending valuable time discussing
such trifling matter as the amount
of indemnity to be granted to mem
bers of the allied commissions to be
sent to Germany, or the expedieney
of supplying the Polish or Czeeho-
Slovak armies with winter uniforms
or even the advisability of submitting
to the Greek delegates the cross-ex-
animation of witnesses in the Smyrna
investigation, in an expurgated form
rather than in its entirety.
While these details, which any of
the innumerabe subcommissions east
~ could handle, are monopolyizing the
attention Of the "big five" no thought
whatever is apparently given to the
fact that the utter powerlessness of
the peace conference is shown more
and more clearly every day in the
near east.
There is no peace in Turkey, nor in
Albania, nor in Montenegro, nor in
the Adriatic, nor in Fiume. Roumania
has not yet signed the treaty Of st.
German and Jugo-Slavia is still con-
sidering whether she will sign it at
all.
1t is the Russian problem which is
worrying the peace conference most
of all The ancient imperial regime,
which, as a huge, solid mountain,
served as a support to the European

his victory would mean the end of the
newly acquired independence on the
part of Ukrania. Therefore the con-
ference is now confronted with the
following problem:
If it persists in its present attitude
of "closed doors" to Ukrainia and of
favoring Polish interests against
Ukrainia, the scheme for the Polish
Ukrainian- Roumanian alliance must
be abandoned with the resulting dan
ger of possible combination between
Ukrainia and Lenine against Denikine.
If, instead, it supports Denikine's in
terests, the conference runs the risk
of appearing to support czarism and
of provoking a reaction likely to
shake the foundations of the Warsaw
government, which the peace confer
ence has worked so hard to establish.
In either case the Lenine-T rotzky
government would be the gamer, thus
defeating the very policy thus far
consistently advocated and adopted by
the allies representatives in Paris.
The Versailles treaty may become
operative about Dec. l, without Unit
ed States cooperation. But in gov
ernment circles it is not expected that
the measure will mean return to
actual peace conditions. The slate Of
war in Europe threatens to continue
for many months, until all other trca-
ties are disposed of.
