PRESIDENT EBERYS PROCLAMATION

The proclamation of President Ebert and Pre- mier Bauer in which the German people are asked 10 make the most of the peace terms which have been agreed upon and to cooperate to carry then, out in letter and spirit is encouraging It is wise and if it is offered in good faith and accepted a code of conduct by the German people, it will mean that good start has been made toward worlG readjustment.
 However, 1t will take time tell whether this proclamation or the sinking of the ships at Scarp- FLOW In violation of the law of nations and the armistice is representative of Germany's attitude and purpose. Only time will disclose whether ther, shall be cooperation the part of the Germans In carrying out the terms of peace including tho punishment Of those guilty of causing the war and Tor Its atrocities Only time will show whether or not the people there regard the former Kaiser and his parol-bfeaking as supermen with divine kingly powers delegates from on high Every be. never Tn democracy will hope that time may show that rresident Ebert is speaking for the German masses. but he will wait on the verdict of time before rendering his decision

THAT MANDATE


 Americans, generally. will be we'll advised tc inspect that proposed mandate for Asia Minor, or part of 1t, and including the relict Turkey in Eur ope with attentive eyes; it would be we'll to look over under and around the back of it.
 We have very sincere desire to see the Armen. fans in particular. and the Nestorians and all the other abused and oppressed nationalities who have suffered under the Turks barbarism. restored to happiness and liberty. Unfortunately it takes more than sincere desires to work miracles.
 We have to face the fact that almost every Eur opean nation has something of Turkeys in pawn; Turkey with no prestige and control profit able dependent peoples is poor picking; obviously respectable and honest receiver. who wouldn't cost the creditors anything would be very desirable.

ANOTHER WICKERSHAM FAILURE

The teegraphic dispatches tell us that J. l.. Me Pherson Manager of the Alaska Bureau of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Sen Committee Appropriations the other day and showed that the Alaska Railroad is being built cheaper than any recently constructed railroad They tell further the Senate committee has ap- proved the estimates, and that Congress will au- thorize the appropriation of the money to complete the road
 Thus has gone glimmering that carefully staged Wckersham attack Secretary Lane-the attack which required four issues of the Seattle Post-In telligencer to print, and which serial for weeks in the Dispatch and other Wckite papers.
 Wickershamites admit that Judge Wickersham promised the Republican organization a sensation that would make another "Ballinger Scandal" and would Secretary Lane carry the admins tration down with him when he fell, and they claim that in return for it he to get a partisan dict in his attempt to override a majority of the Alaska electorate and get seat in Congress The Dispatch hnted that great things would result from the "Wickersham expose,' and freely predicted q Congressional investigation.
 The Wickershamites beginning to learn that the truth will out. The people refuse to be fooled any longer. They refuse to swallow Wickersham- ite fabricatons.

GERMANS SHOULD PAY

The treachery of the German officers and crews in wantonly sinking the surrendered ships at Scarpa Flow at the moment when Germany was about to accept peace terms is not encouraging to those who had hoped that Germans had learned through war and defeat the need for keeping faith. The act was rather in keeping with the war methods of Prussian Junkers than with the spirit of peace It adds another crime to the many which Germany must live down if that country again is to take place among the great nations of the world.
 Germany should be made to pay full value for all the damage done by this latest piece of deviltry It should be made plain that treachery and scul- duggery longer respectable anywhere
 Germanys chance to rehabilitate herself and gain confidence of the world depends wholly upon her carrying out the peace terms that have been agreed upon in the utmost of good faith. She must scrupulously keep every covenant she has made, in letter and spirit She is entering the struggle to pay for the and from its devastation with unsavory reputation, and she has done noth- ing during the period of negotiations to improve it.

Driven To Misrepresentation

(Portland Oregorian)
 The weakness of the made by the opposing Senators against the League covenant is shown by the misrepresentation of it's provisions and efforts Johnson in his fierce philippcs said:
 America under the League will become
 the worlds guarantor, underwrite the rape
 of China and the partition of hundreds of
 thousands of square miles of territory and
 the transfer of millions of human beings
 false hope that future wars will be pre-
 ventedp
 The much abused article 10 would have no such effect It requires the League to protect its mem bers from outside aggression, but suppress internal rebellion If the Chinese of Shantung should drive out the Japanese or if the Germans of Posen should rise against the Poles the League would not interfere, but it would not permit nation stir and aid rebellion in the territory another. But if civil in any territory should threaten ito disturb either the peace or the good understand ing between nations" the fundamental right of each member would be to call the attention of the League to it. That is provided by article II.
 The League is composed of self-concerning na- tions and will admit only such nations to member ship The treaty fixes boundaries closely as possible on the lines of nationality The Ieague agrees maintain these boundaries against aggres- sfon but not against the will of the inhabitants of any country who desire to be separated from it Only if the peace of nations affected would the League take cognizance of any country's internal troubles. Thus if the League had existed in 1ssS the United States might have called it's attention to conditions in Cuba with suggestion that if Spain were not compelled to reform its government and let the people rule themselves the United States would be obliged to intervene The League might then have made united demand on Spain for ac- tual reform and, If Spain had proved recacitrant might have put the weight of its authority behind the United States as its mandatory There is small room for doubt of the result
 MT. Johnson's criticism would have applied to the kind of League which the holy alliance attempt ed to establish. It League of autocrats de- signed to maintain autocracy and to suppress rebel hon all the autocrats to aid each other. The Mon- roe Doctrine was aimed particularly against that League, being notice that if it attempted to apply its system in South America, it would have the Unit ed States to deal with The Monroe Doctrine is en- dorsed by the League covenant, yet Mir Johnson appears to think the covenant would bind this coun- try to do the exact reverse of what Monroe Doc trine says. His construction is directly contrary to the entire spirit and purpose of the covenant
