The Triumph of Amerioanism

The end of the long fight over the treaty of peace and the covenant of the League of Nations is near at hand. and WE think foresee an early ratification of the treaty with plain and sufficient reservations safeguarding sovereignty and pre- serving national honor. Technically, the reserva- tons will not be in the nature of amendments which would require a resubmission of the treaty. but they win constitute ample notice the other powers of our understanding of the covenant and they will limit the extent of the obligations we shall assume 1nder 1t.
 That is all that will be necessary, and in the opinion of The Republican from the beginning, that was as far as we should go We have never felt that the question of representation in the assembly of the league was a vital one; that it made great differ ence how the representation distributed But that is covered by the reservations that have been agreed upon by majority of the senators.
 As to Article 10 felt that the constitution of the United States would be supreme; that regard less of the covenant congress would still exercise authority declare and direct the disposition the armed forces of the United States it bet ter that this reservation should be made to fore stan fin the future an accusation that the United States in refusing obey directions of the league had violated obligation.
 Another reservation puts into the hands of con- eress and therefore, moro nearly into the hands of the people selection of representatives in the league. The covenant giving the league power ts determine its own membership, with congress de- prived of voice fin the selection was contrary to the spirit of our government A similar reservation also controls to congress the selection of representa- lives in the International labor conference.
 A reservation also withholds American approval of the shantung agreement of the treaty, far better disposition of that troublesome matter than amendment to aside that settlement and transfer the province of shantung to China. Such an amend nent would have been ridiculous unless veady to lend force to it.
 Another reservation makes clear that stand by the Monroe Doctrine, not in the vague and

"Evvy'S gone!" gasped Neil. For
a minute he stood staring down the
road where Evvy's blue car had dis
appeared in a scornful swirl of dust.
Then he jerked around to the tea
tray, where a ring lay looking small
and deserted amid the contrasting
largeness of cups and saucers and
glasses.
Jim's eyes, were fixed on Neal
with "a queer eXpression-at once
quizzical and demanding, as if he
were measuring Neal and trying to
force him to measure up.
In their long first period of mis-
understanding | had stood between
my two boys and tried to interpret
them to each other. Now l had to
let them alone, to permit them to
work out their own estimates of
each other.
Neal looked up suddenly and met
Jim's gaze. He stared at him with
the same look of probing Jim was
fixing on him. Then, as if the
words were wrenched from him,
Neal exclaimed aggressively:
IF you've hurt Babbsie again,
Jim-if your being here like this
means any unhappiness for my
sister-you sha'n't get away with

Jim actually grinned. He ad-
vanced with quick stride, grabbed
Meals astonished hand and began
pumping it up and down.
You're all right, youngster!" he
cried. Some brother-some sport!
If you're worried about Anne, turn
and take a slant at her. Does she
loog as if I'd hurt her-as if she
doubted me?"
Neal-his hand still gripped by
Jim's-turned, almost incredulous-
ly:
1T doesn't feaze you-fnding
Jim here like this-with her?" he
said jerkily, avoiding Evvy's name.
l gathered myself to meet Jim's
every expectation as 1 replied:
It's Eyvy who seems to have
been feaZed. She's said-and made
1t clear, too-that she doesn't want
to see any of us again-ever. She
didn'try try to saveyour pride. Neal.
She didn't seem to have much of
her own to save"
'We'ce all been dismissed-to-

clear out. Anne? Will you drive us

Then, too boldly, 1 feared, he
picked up the discarded ring and
stood studying it.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
SHALL SHE CURL HER HAIR?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
It's a rather peculiar question
which l want you to settle, but after
careful reflection, 1 have decided
that you can answer it best. Is it
wicked and worldly to curl ones
hair? My mother says it is false
vanity which prompts me to do it.
l haven't much hair, and if not
curled, it hangs in stringe and never
looks nice. l surely do not want
to be wicked and am too young to
be worldly. VEGA.
My dear girl, if you never do any
thing worse than curl your hair you
will be very sanity young person.
| suppose your mother does not like
the idea of Il girls improving her
appearance by anything that is not
absolutely natural. But Il little
innocent hair curling hardly comes
under this head; try to persuade her
to let you arrange your hair be-
comingly.

THIRTY YEARS OLDER

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am seventeen, attend High School.
While riding in the subway recently

who started conversation with me.
We have become firm friends,
friendship has ripened into love and
he has since given me very valuable
diamond ring. My friends, however,
disapprove of him as he is thirty
years my senior. AS I am alone in
the world, with no relative to guide
me, l should appreciate your advice
in the matter Do you think he is
sincere? G. b.
The difference you mention in your
ages is so great as to make the idea
of happiness extremely risky.
should not be too eager to marry this
middle-aged man who has given you
the very valuable diamond ring and
l should be guided by the advice of
my friends in receiving attention from
him. You should proceed very
cautiously in tails affair.

but, further than that, the cutting
that is done far exceeds what is
grown each year. 1t is probable,
from the best estimates that I have
been able to secure, that the annual
growth of material of potential value
in the three states is not over one
quarter of what is cut each year.
This means that the forests are pro-
gressively losing ground with con-
siderable rapidity.
'This deficit is due only in part to
the clearing of land for agriculture.
It lis due also to the failure to handle
the lands in way to secure good
reproduction and, properly to pro-
tect the young trees that become
established. With better care and
management the forest lands of
these states should yield two or
three times the present growth, and
this would, l believe, be possible
without checking the extension of
cultivation over lands suited to the
purpose. There are many convincing
ceasons why these states should pro-
duce as much as possible in the way
of forest growth from lands that
are best adapted to the purpose
and in the aggregate these areas

I. Plans for operations in the woods
will soon be under way for the com
ing season. It is our desire to work
still more in harmony with the oper-
ators this season than was possible
last year. In order that your work
may not be hampered after logging
has commenced it is advisable that
an early understanding be reached as
to the areas to be- cut over and the
methods Of brush disposal to be en-
ployed. i wish, therefore, that you
would let me know at the earliest
possible date just what land you
intend to log or let contract for
logging the coming season. l will
then be i'm a position to look over the
land more thoroughly and in. CO.
operation with you decide upon the
best and most economical methods
of brush disposal for each particular

In accordance with the law, notices
setting forth the. descriptions of
lands must be conspicuously dis
played at camps where any cutting is
being done.
