The new millions Of readers demanded

"Why pay rent when rent will pay
for a homer" This is favorite slogan
OF the real estate and building pro-
moter, and has been used so much
that the average renter is apt to be
skeptical of its truth. Skeptical or
not, it is true in the average case, as
anyone with a logical mind will read
lily see.
The owner Of investment property,
OF property that is rented charges
for the use of house or an apart
ment what he can get for them. 1t
is true that rent should be fixed so
that the owner will get reasonable
return on his Observation-Disclosures to
pay the taxes, the repairs, a sinking
fund to replace the building when it
falls into decay, and reasonable in
terest on his money. But the law of
supply and demand operates in this
case just as it does in most others.
And just now the demand is such that
the owners of rentable property are
making up for lean years. They are
charging what they can get and that
is plenty.

BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

The peace treaty with Germany was
signed Saturday, June %, and the
world war officially came to a close
just five years to day after the event
that precipitated the mighty conflict,
the assassination of the Austrian grand
duke at Sarajevo. The ceremony was
performed in the Hall of Mirrors at
Versailles with a stately dignity be-
fitting the most notable event Of the
kind in all history. After the repre-
sentatives of the allied and associ-
ated powers had taken their places In
the hall and the privileged spectators
were in their seats, the German dele
gates, Mueller, Leinert and Bell, were
ushered in. M. Clemenceau, without
making a speech, declared the meet
Ing open and, as president of the peace
conference, first signed the treaty.
President Wilson next attached his
name and Premier Lloyd George came
next. One hundred and sixteen other
representatives of nations opposed to
Germany then signed the document,
and last of all the German delegates
were called up to attach their names.
The entire ceremony took several
hours.
Gustav Bauer, having succeeded
Scheidemann as premier, urged the
Germans to abide by the vote of the
national assembly, accept the peace
terms and endeavor to carry them out
% 90, ha h
er. At the same time, In fiery words,
he denounced the treaty this mockery
Of self-determination, this enslave-
ment Of the German people, this new
menace to the peace of the world"
His words were echoed by the Hun
press and the Hun orators, and many
were the open assertions that Ger
many accepted the treaty only under
compulsiOn, looking on 1t as another
"scrap of paper" and awaiting only
the chance to violate 1t and to get re-
venge.
All week the Hun government
sought for someone who would con-
sent to be the "goat' and attach his
name to the pact. First Haniel Won
Halmhausen, secretary of the peace
delegation, was selected, but he was
too unimportant to suit the allies, and
so he declined. Finally DR.. Hermann
Mueller. foreign minister; Herr Lem
ert and Doctor Bell, minister Of col
ories, were named to sign the treaty
and accepted the unthankful task,
promising to be In Versailles by Satur-
day morning.
J. 1t fell to the lot Of Haimhausen
to notify M. Clemenenceau for
mally of the decision of the govern
ment to accept the treaty, and In the
course Of his note he remarked with
unconscious humor mo act of vio-
lence can touch the honor Of the Ger
man people"-as If anything could
noneIistent.
III there were such thing as Ger
man honor, the violence of the Ger
mans themselves would have touched
IL twice the other day. First, when
the crews of the surrendered war
ships sank them In Scapa Flow, and,
second, when a mob took from mu-
scum and burned the captured French
flags of 1871 which Germany was
pledged to return to France. In these
acts they are accused of violating
both the armistice and the treaty and
will be called to account Also, the
allies, or ut least the French, will de-
mand reparation for the destruction
of the war vessels. The surrender Of
those vessels was part Of the price

Of its defeat, but enough Of them still
demand the amendment of the cove

stands. Senator Borah is unremitting

600 men he said the league covenant
offers no hope Of disarmament, but in
stead makes certain an era of the
greatest ornaments the world has
ever seen. The senate passed the bill,
which carries an army appropriation
of 1888 100000. The bill as passed by
the house provided for 100000 men
and appropriated S71S,O00,0OO. The
house majority in opposing the larger
temporary army is seeking to hasten
the entire reorganization Of the army
and the adoption of q permanent mill
tary policy. The naval bill presented
to the senate also is larger than that
passed by the house, carrying an APP
preparation of $646,272,00O and in

not be much longer delayed, and as

The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1919-07-03

The agitation in this country in be-
half of Free Ireland" is increasing.
and the movement has reached such
proportions that it cannot be ignored.
The propaganda Is carried on ener-
getically and openly and the govern
ment could not do anything to check
it If 1t would. Eamonn De Valera,
president Of the Irish Republic" who
has been in America for several weeks
visiting Washington and other cities,
has emerged from his privacy and is
publicly working for the independence
Of his country and arranging for
bond issue of S5,000,0OO. He gave out
the text of letter his government"
sent to the peace conference warning
ii that Ireland would not be bound
by any treaty signed in its behalf by
English commissioners. His main pur-
pose in coming to the United States is
to compel our government, by force
Of public opinion, to recognize official
ly the Irish republic. In the senate
he has a number of supporters who
assert the principle Of self-determina-
ton should apply to such countries as
Ireland, India, Egypt and Korea as
well as to the countries of central
Europe. At least, they declare, these
people should have the chance to pre-
sent their claims to independence to
the peace conference. The American
peace delegation was taken to task
for not complying with the resolution
of the senate requesting the president
TO procure a hearing for the Irish
representatives.
The great sympathy strike In Winni-
peg came to an end Thursday, being
called off by the strike committee. The
terms of settlement were left to q
government commission. On the
whole the strike was failure.
Chicago and New York both had
serious and embarrassing labor trou-
bles last week. In the former city the
street cleaners, garbage and ash han
dlers and job foremen and the team
sters and chauffeurs working for the
city and on city jobs went on strike,
and many other city employees made
demands for more pay. In New York
strike Of teamsters almost deprived
the city of Its supply Of vegetables and
fruits.
An interesting innovation was the
organization Of a labor union Of navy
officers, begun In the Atlantic fleet,
for the purpose of obtaining increased
pay and other concessions from the
government. 1t Is planned to affiliate
with the American Federation Of La
Dor and to extend the union to include
the Pacific feet and the European and
AsiatIc squadrons. A clause In the
navy regulations virtually forbids the
formation of such organizations, but
the facts that their pay has not been

paid by Germany for the armistice,
and in sinking them the Germans de-
liberately stole that which they had
paid. The fact that they apparently
settled what might have developed
into dispute among the allied ma
tions as to the disposition of the ships
does not mitigate the crime. The flag
incident, small in itself, was charac-
teristic of the low-minded Hun.
