Postal and cable service having
been resumed with Germany, the
local Telegraph offices are now pre-
pared to handle business cablegrams
for points in that country. On ac-
count of the rush of business no per-
sonaI messages will be received at
this time, it being the expectation
that the messages in connection with
business will so overload the cables
as to make it impractical 10 accept
personal messages for sometime.
Opponents of the League of Ma
tions seem to be completely at sea
in their fight; in fact, it seems to be
becoming more apparent daily that
the rankest kind of political parti-
sanship is being injected nto this
purely non7partisan matter. The
treaty which has just been negoti-
ated is not a political matter, but one
that affects the whole country. At
first the objection was made to that
portion of the treaty which, by its
opponents, was construed to make it
obligatory upon the part of this
country to send troops to participate,
under certain conditions, in Euro
.pean disturbances; now that objec-
ton has been lost sight of i'll the fact
that Japan is to get the German Con-
cessions in the Shantung. Recently
Senator Lodge and these same Sena-
tors criticised President Wilson be-
cause he did not agree to giving
Giume to the Italians, and now they
criticise him because he did do in
China what they wanted done in
Dalmatia. 1t is certainly unfortu-
nate that men of such small calibre
should be holding such important po-
sitions.
