and there remains alone, so far as
present negotiations have been re-
duced to written form, the gene
raj association of nations estab-
lished by specific covenant.
"Neither can we fix here any
confirmation Of the prediction that
this treaty was to be written in
disregard of hte old order of the
balance of power, and with no ele-
ment Of national commercial
greed. ALI the eements Of greed,
national Suspicion and jealousy
are only too evident in almost ev,
cry article Of the treaty.
.sIn short, the sum Of CONNER
cial expansion in which Germany
sought a place passes into total
eclipse behind this treaty; and the
shackles with which she is to be
manacled in her obscurity have
been forged with meticulous care
by the forward-looking men with
whom the president was privileged
to cooperate at Paris, but whose
cooperation was strictly limited to
looking out for themselves, while
not omitting to see to it that the
United States should be made q
full partner in every phase Of the
enterprise designed for the bene-
fit of the other members of the Big
Five.
ut naturally follows that a
treaty such as this cannot be self
operative and we have been as
sured that, if we examine it, we
shall find that everything through
out its manifold provisions its
trainers have felt obliged to turn
to the League of Nations as the
indispensable instrumentality for
the maintenance Of the new order
which this instrument purposes to
set up.
L wish to call attention to the
manner in which the signatories to
the instrument have separated
themselves into two distinct
groups the first comprising the
United States, thef British empire,
France, Italy, and Japan and ev-
anywhere throughout the treaty
described Is the principal allied
and associated powers !; and the

SENATOR MCoRMICKS BUDGET PLAN

Senator Mccormick of Illinois will
introduce budget bill at this session
of congress. He attacks the Good bill
as faulty. He says his bill differs from
that of Mr.. Good, chiefly, in placing the
budget bureau under the secretary of
the treasury, who is made strictly
financial officer and divested of extra
neous functions, such as administration
of public buildings and public health
service, and in empowering the budget
bureau to reduce departmental appro-
priatiOn estimates.
"My bill" said Senator Mccormick,
"is not the handiwork Of one man. It's
factual text comes from the hands of
two trained craftsmen; it embodies in
principle the ideas of students of pub
lie administration and finance like Sec
retary Glass, President Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, Governor Lowden, and
ex-Congressman Fitzgerald
"It will not further divide respon-
sfbility for the financial policy of the

Procession of splendor.

In the whole gallery of war pictures,
it may be doubted If any could have
been more colorful than those COM
posed by the remarkable British cam
paign in which Colonel Lawrence,
archaeologist by pre-war profession,
gathered and led the desert host OF
Arabs. 1.-THE order Of march," says
Colonel Lawrence, describing the en-
trance of the conquerors into the town
of El-Wijh, "was splendid and bar
barrie. Feisal rode in front dressed in
pure white. I was on his left, also in
white, and on his right was another
shereef wearing a red headcloth and
a tunic and cloak dyed with henna,
and behind us were Bedouins carrying
three banners of purple silk, topped
with gold spikes, and behind them
rode three drummers playing march,
and they were followed by wild,
bouncing mass Of 5000 camels that
constituted our bodyguard, the men
in every variety of cOlored gown and
headdress, and the camels equally bril-
liant in their trappings, and the whole
crowd singing at the top of their
voices a war song in honor of Feisal
and his family" Memory runs over
accounts Of conquering hosts of all
ages and finds nothing, as the English
leader himself describes it, more bar
baric and splendid.

The essentials of the compost heap
are to equip it with a water-tight foun-

by spreading the clay 10 to IL inches
thick and then moistening and tram

logs or lumber should be built up
