1t was predicted in Washington that
with the return of President Wilson
there would be a radical change in
the governments policy toward Mex
leo. Senator King of Utah, Democrat,
said the administration would prac-
tically issue an ultimatum to Carran-
"a, demanding guarantees for the pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty in Mexico and limiting at inter
vention by the United States. The
public has just learned the facts o n
corning the brutal murder of John w.
Correll, an American citizen, near
Tampico on June 16, and the assault
on his wife. There is every reason to
believe that CarranZa soldiers were
the perpetrators of those shocking
crimes.

His great task abroad completed so
far as might be, President Wilson has
returned to his domestic duties. On
the homeward trip he signed bills and
read documents and otherwise pre-
pared himself for the contest that con-
fronts him Ill the United States. The
goal he has set for himself is the rati-
ication by the senate of the peace
treaty, including the covenant of the
League of Nations. Victory will not
come easily, though it probably will
come, maybe after the covenant has
been amended to meet the objections
now made by a considerable number
of senator's. Those who are against
the league in any form are very few,
but stubborn. If Mr.. Wilson is equal
iy stubborn, the whole matter is likely
to become a partisan issue despite the
efforts of many party leaders to pre-
vent this. 1t is intimated that, if the
senate makes evident its intention to
refuse to ratify, the president will
withhold the treaty for the time being,
and that would at once make it an out.
.and-out party question. There is pre-
cedent for such a course.
If the issue is put up to the people

The United States has launched the
great experiment. Just after the
treaty was signed that nominally

into effect and the entire country be-
came officially bone dry" Presuma-
bly, rehabilitation will be completed

will be wet spell" at least in some
states until the constitutional amend
ment goes into effect on January 16.
At present there is considerable con-
fusion concerning the scope and the
enforcement of the emergency law. A
federal court has ruled in favor of
beer and wine containing not to ex-
coed 2% per cent of alcohol and in
many localities the dealers are taking
a chance and dispensing those drinks.
In most states the old and new law
on prohibition prevent even this. In
any case the manufacture and sale of
all drinks with the greater alcoholic
content are barred and Attorney Gen
eral Palmer has ordered rigid enforce
ment of the law relating to them.
The "wets" have been making a
game but losing fight, and the "drys'
have refused to yield at any point.
The forces of the latter in congress
are planning to pass measures to pre-
vent the country from going on a
whisky-drinking basis between the
time of rehabilitation and January 16,
and to put a stop to the sale of weak
beer and light wines at once, regard
less of court rulings.
Though the United States is now the
only ''dry" country, there may be ar
other before very long, for the United
Kingdom alliance, encouraged by the
success of the American prohibitionists,
has opened a campaign to put Great
Britain on the same basis. American
methods will be followed and Ameri-
can speakers imported. London CORE
spondents predict that to deprive the
Britisher of his ale, porter and beer
would almost precipitate a revolution.
British labor is against prohibition,
but so Is American labor; and 1t may
be that John Bull will in the not dis
tant future be reduced to drinking
lemon sq~uashes" and minerals" The
world will watch the American expert
ment, n of the greatest ever made
in economics, with intense interest.

All matters concerning the peace
treaties are now in the hands of the
new council of five, comprising Lam
sing, Pichon, Balfour, Tittoni and
Maxine. Tittoni let it be known that
Italy wished all territory taken from
Austria to be definitely disposed Of
in the Austrian treaty, which meant
that that pact could not be formulated
for SINE time and not without a pro-
tracted debate over the Fiume ques-
ton especially.
The Chinese delegates said they ex-
pected to sign the treaty with Aus
tria, in which they found nothing OBJ
.jectionable, and thereby gain admis-
sion to the League of Nations despite
the Withholding of their signatures
from the German treaty. China prob
ably will make a separate peace with
Germany. In refusing to sign the
German treaty the Chinese delegates
disobeyed their instructions from
Picking, being Influenced by the south
China revolutionaries.

Having lived to see the triumph Of
the cause for which she labored for
many years, DIR. Anna Howard Shaw,
honorary president of the National
American Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton, passed away at her home in

years. During the war Doctor Shaw
did excellent work as chairman of the
women's committee on the council Of

. The first balloon" to cross the At
lantic, the British dirigible R-34, con
manded by Major Scott, which was to
have arrived at Roosevelt field, Min

July 5, came to grief in the Bay Of
Fundy, between Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. A United States destroy

Otter Cliff station at Bar Harbor, Me.
The airship evidently was following
the coast line in a southwesterly direc-
ton toward New York. The dirigible
started from East Fortune, Scotland,
at 1:4S on the morning Of July 2, and
despite the accident, the achievement
is considered in aviation circles as a
success. The new motor that was in
stalled worked splendidly until near
the end of the voyage, and the crew
of % men, including one American,
had nothing but praise for the conduct
Of the big airship before that.
Scores of army and navy officers
were at Mineola to welcome the Brit
ish flyers, and general sympathy was
expressed. During the voyage the d.
rigible had been in almost constant
touch, by wireless with ships, and,
nearing the end, with shore stations.

1t is not easy to see why American
business men should be criticized be-
cause they wish to see peace perma-

they can resume trade, commerce and

Senator Borah, rampant opponent OF
the league, broke out in a new place
last week, with charges that the propal-
ganda of the league to enforce peace,
headed by ex-President Taft, is
financed by Wall street, Mr.. Tafts on
ganization glories in the fact that most
of its financial support comes frerh
men of big business and broad VISION.
ut may be-" said Senator Borah,
that the occasion for the oppositidp
upon the part of small men is not b
limitation of vision; it may possibly
be that their Investments are not the
same and their interests are not the
same.
at may be that they are combining
themselves to the interests of their
own country and believe In the tradi-
tions and policies of their country, and
ii may possibly be that those Who
take a wider view of the matter are
those who have large investments in
other countries, and who propose to
have more investments there, which in

Dispatches from Weimar declared
that the national assembly would at
nee take up the peace treaty and that
a majority for its ratification was as
sured. The Germans had been noti-
fed that the blockade would be lifted
as soon as the pact were ratified, and
they expressed the hope that German
prisoners of war would be released at
the same time. AS an earnest of their
good intentions the Germans ceased all
warfare on the Poles simultaneously
for some time and not without a pro-
sailles. Released from danger In that
direction, the Poles turned all their
attention to the Galician-Volhynian
front, starting a COMPREHENSIVE in
which they claimed to have broken
the Ukrainian resistance and regained
control of important towns and rail
ways. There is no assurance, how
ever, that Germany will not again
break out on the east front, for accord
ing to correspondents she has, since
the armistice, reorganized an army of
about 100000 men and gathered
equipment for three times that num-
Der, including as many airplanes as
she had when she surrendered. OF
course all this is contrary to the
terms Germany accepted, and if the
stories are true the allies will have
to get busy again. The Germans can
be trusted in one respect, and one
only. They will evade the treaty If
1t is possible for th9m to do so.
The French foreign office gave out
the texts of the proposed agreements
of France with the United States and
Great Britain designed to protect
France against unproyoked aggression
by Germany. The pacts differ in that
Great Britain consents to come" to
the rescue Of France, while the United
States will be bound to come imme-
diately."
Various plans are being devised by
the Germans to save the former kaiser
from trial and punishment, including
the formation of a national league
for the protection of his freedom and
life" Won Bethmann-Hollweg, for
mer imperial chancellor, formally
asked the allied and associated pow
ers to place him on trial instead OF
the former emperor, assuming respon-
sibility for all the acts for which
William is blamed. The German gen.

withdraw its designations if the gov
