The Roster of Disappointed.
From the New York Post.

A Wilson Disi1usionment Club could be organized today with a
very large enrolment. Applications for membership would be quite
Independent of nationality, party, or previous state of mind. A society
OF those who are disappointed with Wilson would include Herr Noske,
who complains because Germany has been restricted to an army Of
100000 men, and citizens of the entente who complain because Mr..
Wilson has not brought about disarmament. 1t would include those
Italians who are indignant over Fiume and those other Italians the
left wing socialists-who are indignant over Italian Imperialism in
Dalmatia. In France it would include those who see in the Saar un-
der the League of Nations a paltry concession to legitimate national
demands, and the Longuet socialists, who denounce the Saar arrange
ment as a capitalistic imposition on Germany. In our own country it
would include those who have been disappointed in their expectations
OF a democratic" peace and those who were prepared to denoumce a
Wilson milk-and-water peace and now find themselves without an
issue. 1t would include the champions of open diplomacy and those
who resented the menace to a speedy peace by the president IS threat
Of some months ago to take the conference away from Paris, by his
subsequent summons for the George Washington, and by his recent
open letter on the Italian dispute.
In the case of a judge who succeeds in displeasing everybody IL
has been the common assumption that his decision has probably been a
just one. The statesman who arouses criticism in opposing camps
receives no such charitable judgment; in both directions he is sup
posed to have failed. From both camps the complaint is made that
the statesman should have employed his prestige, his power, and his
gifts to force the right kind of policy, as the opposing camps interpret
righteousness M The question arises therefore whether Mr.. Wilson
went to Europe in order to impose his own policy on the entente. or
whether he went a a judge to formulate a policy for the appeasement
of the world in accordance with conflicting claims. but above an in
accordance with the facts a he found them in both camps.

Diver Caught Submarine.
From The Forum.

Extraordinary things happened to he
American destroyer flotilla as they hunt
cd the German submarine. but the strang-
est adventure of all came In a British
port where some of our ships were tied
up. A German submarine mine layer
had wormed~ its a in and was letting
out its mines when the crew was startled
by a tapping on the coming tower. Some
one with a hammer tapped out his mes
sage in international code:
"Rise and surrender or depth charge
will be exploded against your hull"
The commander of the submarine was
too confused to act, and again came the
dashes ard dots spelling out a warning:
depth charge has been wired and low
cred"
Then up came the submarine. and a
thoroughly frightened commander surren-
dered to the destroyers. The man who
hammered out the message was a diver
at work on a sunken ship in the nag
Dor.
81 saw this %feller." he said. 81 used 20
know the international Morse code in the
navy, SO 1 tapped him the message with

Old Issues Dead.
FROM the Des Moines Regist,

From the Des Moines Register.
1t is idle to try to go back to the old
issues or to drag out the old war cries.
The politics of four years ago is as an
cient as the quarrel between Hamilton
and Jefferson. These are new times and
the issues are of recent making. Within
four weeks it may appear that Senator
Borah is as far behind the procession as
Senator Penrose. and Senator johnson
may be as far from speaking the real
sentiment of h west as Senator War
rem.
The first Theodore Roosevelt began far
in advance of the political thought of his
times. 1t remains to be seen where the
second Roosevelt proposes to begin.
He may prove to be as r%eactionary
towards the great forward movement to-
day as his father was radical towards
the great forward movement Of a gene
ration ago.
Bull moose and standpatter. insurgent
and old guard, belong back with the BARN
burners and knownothings. Why should
anybody pretend to be interested in the
wal cries OF yesterday? Why should
those who aim to lead be looking back
wards?

German fleet sailed into

great Eltzabethan sea king.
The curious thing about all these mani

the inquirer that the lost one is well and
happy. and that he had his picture taken
with q group of friends a few lays before

Defend. Secretary Alien.
From the Charlton Herald-Patrl

From the Charlton PATRIOT.
The recent legislature was an ''investi-
eating" body, a threat to investigate some
of its own members during the closing
days of the session being narrowly avert
ed. Among other offices was that of Bill
Allen. secretary of state. Mr.. Allen served
three terms in this office, his election for
a fourth term proving that he has been
a popular and efficient head of that de-
partment. But Allen was in the way of
some aspiring politicians and they de-
cided to eliminate him from future con-
sideration. a decision they followed up
with all manner of charges. Dirty poll
tics is at the bottom of the whole trouble,
the fourth term entering largely into the
disturbance. Aliens success and his
ability as a vote getter alarmed these
less able men, mention of his name as a
candidate for governor %arousing his enc
mics to action. The report of the COM
mittee investigating the affairs Of the
Office Of secretary of state explicitly
states that they found no dishonesty or
misuse of funds-but they were after AL
len. They criticised the failure to pub
lish the constitutional mendme for
suffrage, which was in the hands of his
deputy. Roy Williams. who overlooked it.
Mismanagement of the auto department.
charged against Allen. Delays were
caused by lack of help. and to prove this
Is new clerks were added to the force as
soon as the automobile department was
moved from his Office into that of state
treasurer, with a bill enacted placing auto
registration with zach county after this
year. Doubtless this will necessitate the
hiring of an additional employe in each
county. though % clerks attended to this
business under Aliens supervision. At
no time vas the Office behind with its
registrations of automobiles more than
Al. 900. yet a short time ago 100, 900 vehi-
cles were waiting for registration and
there was practically double the help in
he office. From these facts you can
draw your conclusions as to whether
Or not Allen was inefficient. Yet he was
not even granted a hearing before the
committee before the automobile depart
nient was taken from his Office. Ridicu-
lcis charges by discharged employees
Mrre listened to as gospel truth by a COM
m ttee determined to find Allen guilty, the
fa :nily affairs of the secretary being
dragged into the matter without cause
OF justification.
Mr.. Aliens friends have criticised him
for offering his resignation. as there were
no charges against him by the committee
which reflected On his honor or integrity,
but he preferred to resign rather thar
political conditions In Iowa, believing the
good name of no high o~fficeholder in the
state safe against the %slanderous inuen-
does and ~insinuations. He was a member
of the legislature eight years, four years
in each house. He has been in his pres
ent Office six years, and men familiar
with the work Of the office conceded that
he has made one OF the best secretaries
the state has ever had.
