Mischicvous Neighbors OF the League
OF Nations Capital.

According to information received
from Switzerland. Bern, the Swiss
capital, has become the centre of an
Oriental League, made up of various
secret organizations Of Moslems and
Hindus aiming at joint revolution
airy movement in Asia and Africa.
This Is not q new experience for
Switzerland, but rather a return to
conditions before the war. 1t is not
her fault, unless the freedom of ac-
ton she extends to people of all the
world is fault, that overthrown
kings and emperors find an asylum
among her mountains or that the
revolutionaries of other nations
choose her towns as places for per-
fecting their plots and carrying on
their propagandas.
Before the war papers and PAM
phlets poured out Of Switzerland in
the interest OF Egyptian nationalist
and the different race elements Of
India. They were filled with Orien-
tai imagery and promises of reforms
and with appeals for financial aid.
They are coming again, the list Of
names having evidently survived the
war, and with them propaganda for
many other nationalist movements.
Books having the purpose of restor-
ing Bulgaria to the allied favor and
written by such men as STEPHANovE,
MIsHEw and IscHIRKoFP are Issuing
In two or three languages from Swiss
presses, and a royalist paper in ad-
vocacy of the exiled CONSTANTINE is
being sent out from Geneva. How far
these propaganda efforts really rep
resent a nationalist movement Il
would be difficult to say. But it will
be remembered that LEVINE and TRor-
zKY spent the two months preceding
their descent upon Russia in consul
tation with advisers from Petrograd
in Switzerland and that the Young
Turks established headquarters at
Geneva and had an organization be-
fore AHMED REcRED Beg transferred
1t to Paris for the final stroke against
ABDUL HAND.
There are, according TO recent re-
port, one emperor and four kings In
exile in Switzerland. There is per-
haps no such well organized effort
for the restoration of any of the other
former royal personages as there Is
for CONSTANTINE; but not one of the
exiles, 1t is said. has entirely aban-
doned hope of some turn of fortune
that will place him again on the throne.
Each one of them is maintaining
pretence of court and is kept well
informed on conditions by royalist adj
visers. Royal exiles have left Swift
zerland to become rulers; NAPOLEON
III. lived for years in villa on the
Lake OF Geneva before he was En-
peror Of France and King PETER was
called from Switzerland to the Ser
han throne.

The Wilson'S lemenceau Treaty.

Ine ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IEebtys
There could be no more legitimate
employment of the treaty making IN
itiative by the President of the United
states and his Secretary of State than
the signature, at Paris or at Wash
ington, of an engagement to go to the
assistance Of France in case of an I'm
provoked attack upon her by Ger
many. Such a treaty of defensive alli-
ance, indeed, was actually proposed,
In the interest of civilization, in the
original Knox resolution of December
last, as substitute for the dangerous
ENHANCEMENT contemplated by Presi-
dent WILSON and embodied in his
League of Nations covenant
The procedure would be entirely
normal and constitutionally respecta-
bic. The proposed treaty would 60 to
the Senate to be considered on its
merits, 10 be studied as to Its specific
terms of engagement, and to be rati-
fed, amended or rejected according to
the acceptability of those terms.
President WILSON has given the
Senate no opportunity to consider on
its merits such treaty Of defensive
alliance with France. In his desper
LLOYD GEORGE to save at least the
face of his proprietary League Of
Nations he has been compelled to
abandon the last shadow of pretence
that the precious covenant is ade-
quate to secure the territorial integ-
rity of France according to Point or
Principle Number One and Point or
Principle Number Fourteen. CLEMES-
cEAU must have smiled when he OBJ
tanned from President WILSON the
pledge of this special and separate
agreement as the price of his some
what sardonic support Of the general
League notion. We know that the
= British House of Commons was moved
to vocal and very expressive mirth
when Mr.. LLOYD GEORGE mentioned
the covenant on Thursday as a peace
preserver. 1t is unpleasantly evident
that the President returns to America
with good deal Of significant cachin-
nation sounding behind his eminent
back.
But without regard to that. Presi-
dent WILSON. in the case of his special
French treaty, secretly arrived at and
now disclosed in Paris more or less
TO his embarrassment, has again over

game. of his skill in which he boosted
