Clemenceau's Good Time

Stout Georges Clemenceau has again
met his decriers in the French Chamber,
and the occasion, it would seem, was
highly enjoyed by all, not the least by
the object of the attacks. Some states
men entertain such an opinion of them
selves that they deem criticism profane.
Their friends imply they are sacrosanct
and cry out against open expression of
anything except eulogy as arguing wick
edness or corruption Of the heart.
Not of this sort is lion-hearted old
Georges, father Of victory. He is not
fearful of detraction. He likes a lusty
opponent. His common sense and his
humor both tell him that it is con-
fession of weakness to be afraid to
wrestle with advcrsaries. Any other at
titude than the one Of meeting all COM
ers would do violence to his tempera-
ment. He has reasonably good opin-
ion of the validity of his conclusions,
but is not so stuffed with self-suhiciency
as to refuse to admit possible error.
The great Frcnchman appeals to
both the imagination and the judgment
of Americans. But most of all they ad-
nlire his downrig ightness--his willingness
to talk, not as disembodied spirit but
as human being. There is no anamia
about the man. What he is he reveals,
even as Colonel Roosevelt did He has
confidence enough in his fellow citizens,
is enough of true democrat to believe
truth will make its way to acceptance,
and would issue no decree against heck
ling.
A demeanor of other-worldliness is
impressive to some. They like intoning.
But pleasing variety of infection is
less firing. 1t is a good thing for
public man to feel an occasional i'm
pulse to mix it, and to drink delight
of battle with his peers.

Inferchurch

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In an article published July 13 on
the lnterchurch World Movement of North
America The Tribune showed an interest
and sympathy which we deeply appreciate.
Since, however, there arc many popular
misconceptions in regard to the movement,
we venture to submit a statement which
is somewhat more precise.
In the first place, the aim Of the Inter
church World Movement is cooperation. not
union 1t means the joining'of almost all
the Protestant evangelical bodies in a great
survey of the world and in the formation
and carrying out of a programme to help
meet the religious and social needs of
every nation. But just fighting together
as allies did not mean the abolishing of
national lines, so the working together as
Christians does not imply the abolishing
of denominatonal lines
Secondly, the Interchurch World Move
ment is not governed by few OUTSTANDING
leaders Its supreme control is vested in
a council of 151 clergymen and laymen.
drawn from many different religious
groups. Including the membership of all
bodies indorsing the movement, the de-
nominations represented have a constitu-
ency of 50,O00000 members joined together
in 100000 individual churches
The idea of a great religious movement
which would amalgamate the strength of
all Professionalism has long been cherished
by men and women of many denominations.
When the war drove home its lesson of CO.
operation the people of the Protestant
churches felt that the time for concerted
action had come.
Hardly had the armistice been signed
when members of the Foreign Mission
Board of the Presbyterian Church South
began to plan a meeting for the discussion
of the subject Letters sent to the mission
boards of more than thirty denominations.
as we'll as to the larger nterdenominational
bodies, resulted in gathering at New York
of 130 church representatives. Unanimous
ly approving of such a movement. the
meeting presented resolutions declaring its
sentiments to the Foreign Missions and
Home Missions Councils of North America.
At joint meeting of these organizations
held hare the 800 delegates offered their
Endorsement amid great enthusiasm and
without one dissenting vote
From that moment the work has gone
steadily forward. Our strength to-day Is
represented by the Endorsement of more
than sixty denominational bodies. The
movement is far too big a thing to owe its
origin or direction to only few leaders.
1t Is spontaneous effort of Protestant
Christianity in the direction of spirjtual
cooperation. W. B. MILLAR

The Shut East

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; The IshiiLansing agreement OF 1917
shut the door which had been opened to
China by John Hay, and the stipulations of
the peace treaty locked it tight The 1shii-
Lansing agreement was the strongest card
which Japan had to play against President
Wilson in the negotiations in Paris
Confronted Immediately on his return
from abroad with question propounded by
Senator Phelan, of California, the President
is reported to have said that the Ishii-
Lansing agreement was not agreement at
all, but an understanding" and referred
only to Manchuria." In his book, america
Among thef Nations" Professor H. H.
Powers says in a foot note on page 1923:
"The notes exchanged between Viscount
1shii and Secretary Lansing amount to a
treaty recognition of Japan's paramount in
terests' in the East" Professor Powers
cannot be in any sense regarded anti
Japanese; rather the contrary. 1t is fair to
assume that his deductions, therefore, coin
eide with those of japanese Statesmen.
Professor John Bassett Moore in his "Prin-
ciples of American Diplomacy" on page 1856,
says: "The Chinese government, when
promptly furnished by Japan with copies of
these notes Ush-Lansing), lodged at once
in Washington and Toxic declaration to
the effect that China, having adopted toward
friendly nations the principle of justice,
equality and respect for treaty rights and
recognizing special relations created by ter
ritoral propinquty only far ex-
pressed in treaties, would not permit her
self to be bound by any agreement made
between other nations"
Japan was evidently skilfully laying the
foundation to meet that suggestion of
China, and was placed by our own dipo-
macy IN position to do SO at the Paris con-
ference. That Manchuria only was meant
by our Department of State, when the notes
were exchanged, was not set forth in the
said notes, and it remained for the President
to first make such a suggestion. Whether
Japan intends to retain Shantung for six
months or sixty years is beside the ques-
ton that she is not entitled to it at ALL to
use as club to squeeze something else out
Of China, any more than Germany is en-
titled to retain the other loot which she
took in the form of the ancient astronomical
instruments which have adorned the In
peral Park in Potsdam.
The peace treaty provides specifically that
these shall be restored. With Just as much
equity and fair dealing the Chinese PROV
lnces, wrung from a helpless people, should
be restored to them. Other ARRANGEMENTS
should be made to recoup Japan and pay
her for driving the Germans out OF
Chinese territory, but Japan has no more
right to claim the territory jtself than ,yo
have to ask for slice of Al,acc Lorraine.

recommendation of the report" Thus
there is no agreement to go to war to
defend the tinding-merely a pledge not
to go to war against the nation or
nations accepting it, If the two parties
were unequal in power the league as
a league would stand to one side while
the stronger ate up the weaker, without
respect to the rights or wrongs Of the
matter or which side accepted the coun-
ciPs report.
The Tribune fears that it often
wearies its readers as it attempts to find
a path through the tangled underbrush
Of the covenant. At best the subject
matter is complicated, and when to in
evitable impediments there is added a
veritable morass of ambiguity, with sec
tions that cross and nullify or modify
others, the going is, Of course, difficult.
But there seems no possible short cut if
the public is not TO be misled. Never
was there such document 1t may not,
if safeguards are provided, entangle the
nation in all wars, but it surely painfully
entangles ones intelligence.

Enter the Knee

1t is to Mr.. Percy Hammond, of Chi
cago, that the world stands indebted for
the aesthetic conclusion that the human
knee is a Joint and not an entertain
ment. Researches touching our sum-
mer shows wherein knees oscillated over
runways within easy eye-shot of sup
posedly interested audiences of eager
males furnished the premises for this
discovery, long since confirmed by multi
tudes of bored Investigators
We are moved to record this ancient
history by the present-day outcroppings
of knees reported upon our beaches. A
knee here or a knee there has pushed
Its way into print as entering tea
room or peacock alley But this is
evidently sporadic and the press agent
is suspect. The beach symptoms are
more general and significant Plainly.
before the season is over our Eastern
beaches will be compelled to take up
the knee seriously and decide Just what
to do with it.
One opinion is not of much force in
so epic movement, but for what it is
worth we take our stand with AIr. Percy
Hammond. Neither in heaven above nor
in earth beneath is there probably any,
thing as homcly and bubous and awk
ward as knee, regardless of sex, age
or color. In a full-length goddess the
knee is cndurable as part of the neces-
sary structure of the creature. But the
present costumes give the knee no such
incidental standing The stocking ends
IN Dutch roll somewhere below, and
the costume resumes somewhere above.
leavlngs the knee stark and unexplained
as romantic as ham.
Rumor declares that further west
stockings for women have disappeared
altogether. Such has long been the rule
IN England. No one seems the worse
for the custom, and swimming is i'm
proved. For this practical change there
IS an obvious plea of utility. For the
knee alone, rushing down to the foot
lights in solo part, there is no possible
defence, in art or business or common
sense.

What the People Want
TO the Editor of Tho Tribune

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why is daylight saving? If it was
created for the working people | think it
is about time that Senator Calder and some
of his associates at Washington wake up
to the fact that the only way to find out
what the people want is to 20 to the
people for their information.
There mas been entirely too much lcgis-
laton passed supposedly for the benefit of
tho working people but in reality onlv
bencfting small minority Where is the
working class benefited By the DAYLIGHT
saving act?
Take the vast majority that are employed
in sh;pyards, factories along the water
fronts, markets, groceries, butchers etc. 1t
Is their duty to be at their place of busi-
ness at 7 a. m. This means thew must
leave their homes between and O'Clock.
Before we had daylight saving this vast
army of people had to leave their homes
SIX months IN the year in the darkness and
cold and cheerlessness which only the
daylight can eliminate Now that we have
daylight saving there are only three
months in the year when these workers
can leave their homes in daylight. Nine
months in the year they must crawl out
of their homes like thief in the night.
This daylight saving act was to give
the people an extra hour of sunshine How
many people take advantage of this extra
hour? You walk along the streets in the
summer afternoon, and even Broadway is
like deserted village. This is due to the
fact that the streets are so hot as to be
unhearabe
The working class that these poor. un-
sophisticated legislators at Washington are
"benehting" must spend one extra hour in
their homes waiting for the cool of the
evening before venturing out for breath
Of fresh air
If the working man spends his usual
amount of time in the open he must stay out
one hour later, and he therefore goes to bed
one hour later. He loses one hours sleep all
because Senator Calder and his fellow Sena
tors fail to keep their hands on the peo
pies pulse. WILLIAM R. MONAHAN.

They expaet the same attitude from the
British and they feel assured in advance
that they will find it.
Their present attitude in regard to the
struggle in America is that it is ba sed
chiefly opposition to the personality OF
President Wilson, which, they smilingly
say, they can understand, but that when
this feeling Is allayed the Senate will al
low its knowledge and vision Of the larger
aspect of world questions to prevail and
will ratify the treaty ntegrally
Some of this feeling undoubtedly is
owing to the fear that American reserva-
tions would be signal to Germany to
continue the policy of supporting in vari-
Gus countries separate groups who are
against the treaty in order to foment In
ternal trouble, with the result that the
application of the clauses would be either
modified or embarrassed
Already doubt in regard to the fate Of
the treaty in the United States has re-
suited in there being no Americans on
the various commissions who are begin
ming the surveillance on Germany's action.
The French fear that this situation which
is certainly anomalous and, they believe
very dangerous, Will be continued in
definitely if America withholds full and
unconditional ratification. They admit they
are primarily concerned in the safety Of
France, but they urge that all history shows
that France holds the frontier of civilization,
and that French safety does not depend only
on what happens on the Rhine, for if Ger
many were left free to upset conditions in
Central Europe Bismarck did in 1866,
France would be in much peril as if Ger
man cannon were firing on Strasbourg
One leader told me: "We are listening
to the great debate in America with the
deepest anxiety, but with fair hope as to
the outcome. We believe that when dis
cussions have clarified the whole vast
question the American people will see
that for their honor and for the welfare
of humanity they must 60 forward with
us hand in hand"

tlement, the time is one of deep tragedy,
and it is not strange that he cries out.
1t is trite to say the blame rests on
both sides-with those who sought to
stab civilization in the back and with
those on the other side, just as narrow,
who sought to goad the Irish into out
breaks in order to destroy the fair pros
poets of acceptable Home Rule. The ex-
tremists on both sides are now enjoying
the luxury of great row, but in the
end it may be confidently predicted there
will be return of a more wholesome

The Costly Cigar
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In reference to your article in to-
days paper, as to the cigar strike wish tc
say there is no shortage in cigars, as the
manufacturers have never in years had such
a heavy stock on hand as they have to-day,
and when same are depleted. most Of them
have out of town factories which they can
call on, if necessary.
Another reason for cigars being plentiful
is for cheap smoke you can buy Manllas
at cents and cents, Porto Ricas from
cents to 10 cents, and for good smokes the
imported Havana cigars, which can be bought
for less than domestcs could be sold az
if the schedule was accepted, these very
strikers work in Porto Rico and Cuba for
half the price that they do in this country
To convince yourself that my statement IS
correct, just find out what the Havana cigars
cost in Havana without our duty added, and
you will find, were it not for the duty, the
manufacturers in this country could not COM
pete with them. So there is no fear OF any
shortage as long as we can buy from coun-
tries near by at less money than this new
union wishes to make them for.
Another thing: If you will look up stat's-
ties, you will find tho sale of cigarettes mas
materially increased, while the consumption
of cigars is on the decrease.

From The London Daily MatD
The little village of Hare, near Bunting
ford, Hertfordshire, has been the scene of
a remarkable demonstration by the in
habitants
At midnight recently a special constable
saw man in uniform leave the concentra-
ton camp used for Germans employed on
neighboring farms and enter house close
by. He ascertaincd that one Of the prison
ers, German officer, was missing. and went
into the house, which is occupied bv
discharged soldier, his wife and two
children.
He found the husband, who served in
Salonlca and was nvalided home with
malaria, upstairs with the children He is,
1T is stated, in practically helpless con-
dlton. Downstairs the Especial" found the
German, wearing British uniform with the
wife. The German was arrested and taken
back to the camp,

the villagers next evening revived an old
time custom of "tin kettlinc" Armed
with kettles, pots and pans and other uten-
sls they collected outside the house and
emulatcd the efforts of jazz band very
successfully for about an hour when they
were dispersed by the police.
The following evening a similar demon
stration was made, but owing to the inter-
vention of the police it lasted only half an
hour. The demonstration, however. an

Grass Cutting

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; l have read with interest tho letter
in to-day's Tribune from Mr.. p. J. Nevins
Of Brooklyn, drawing attention to thu fac+
that it is unnecessary for soldiers to se,,
their medals, they may obtain work cut
ting grass in cemeteries at 40 cents an
hour.
Mr. Nevins states that no soldier need
60 hungry while these magnificent onnor-
tunitles abound, and intimates that the Off
cials of the Employment Bureau are NOT
aware of them.
AS Mr. Nevins was presumably not in tha
army during the recent war he NAV ro+
know that there were many men who wera
there who received very good salaries in
civil life, and that class Of men is not ,ook-
ing for jobs cutting grass while the coach
man is on his vacation
Mr. Ncvins does not state in his ,o+tor
what his line of business Is, ALTHOUGH ho
states that he runs lawn mower daily. but
my impression is that in writing lctters
about employment for soldiers he does not
show much knowledge of the subject.

Let the President Act

The proposal of the President that in
some way the Senate should authorize
him to name an American for the repara-
tion commission in advance of the rati-
fication of the treaty was, of course,
legally impossible. The Senate has no
such power.
But the President by diligent search
can doubtless find authority for des-
ignation. He named Colonel House as a
special agent and then assigned him to
duty Why not name another agent
and assign him to ad interim service on
the rcparation commission?
