 Italy, Rumania, and the States
 The cases of Italy, Rumania, and the United States, which came into the war the stupendous magnitude of the conflict and the aims and meth ods of the Central Powers had be- come apparent, are in different category. It may some day be pos sible to analyze the extent to which the will of their peoples determined their action. So many forces were, however, brought into play that the analysis will be difficult. What was the effect of foreign influence upon the Rumanian government and of D'AnnunZio upon the Italian people .? Did President Wilson lead or follow the will of the American people? At least it is clear that the gross im- policy and the ignorant miscalcula- tions of the Germans forced the great Republic into a position which dictated intervention or diShonor, and Q, reasoned assertion of the will of the American people is not required to account for the ultimated decision.
 Inherited National Spirit
  drawn are perhaps that the ascertain ed will of the people, deliberately formed, played little or no part in bringing about the war or in influ- encing it's course; but that inherited national spirit, intensified by danger and quickened by heroic examples, was a most important factor in se- curing the willing acceptance of the cruel sufferings and sacrifices by which victory was achieved. In the vital decisions which goverened the course of the war, as in the grave mistakes which helped to prolong it, the will of the people could not en- ter.
 DeIusfon of Can't Phrases
 If as a result of the unparalleled slaughter of brave men and of the world wide sorrows and privations that have been inflicted upon human ity, democracy is to receive a fresh impetus it must divest itself of cant phrases such as "the will of the peo- pie" ''se1f determination" and pop ular mandate" until means have been found to bring them within the scope of reality. At best, the vii, of the people, when it exists, can do no more than influence the se- lection of the leaders to whose hands government must be entrusted, or evict the men of it's choice when il lis tired of them.
 Present methods of election, how ever, effectualIy and demonstrabIy prevent the representation of differ. ent opinions in proportion to theil voting strength, and there is no guar. antee in normal times that the House of Commons can speak for the people with even approximate accur.

Civilian Attacks on German Soldiers.

Details of civilian attacks on Ger man soldiers in various parts of Ger many have reached the headquarters of the American forces recently show ing the bitterness of German civilians against the troops of Gustav Noske, the German minister of military af- fairs.
 Several discharged German soldiers who entered the American area a few days ago asserted that patrols of the first battalion of the 22d Reichswehr regiment stationed at Hanau were safe only when proceeding in force. These former soldiers were members of this unit and said that almost al any time when a soldier appeared in the streets of Hanau alone, or accompanied by one or two comrades. he was likely to be attacked by civilians and that many serious encounters between soldiers and civilians had occurred lately.
 On the other hand men of the rail road regiments at Hanau said that they neverNhad any troube and were on good terms with the people.

NEW UMPIRE CHAIR
 CREATES SOME STIR

One of the onlooke-s at the West Side Tennis club Tuesday afternoon after making a thorough inspection of E. C. Conlin $ new umpire chair. with it's complete equipment of towels, belts, garters, shoelaces, handerchiefs, taI cum powder, sponges, sliced lemons and tongue scrapers, remarked:
 A fellow could enter a match in this tourna ment with nothing but his shirt, trousers and shoes and come out with an entire vacation wardrobe and a little buffet lunch in addition
 Another captiouS critic wanted to know why Conlin had not made ar engagements for a little private bar in the rear of the chair, so that the dem ons could be put to some practical use. Still another asked if it would be possible for a player, in the event he needed smelling salts during a close match to choose any odor he desired, such a violet, lily of the valley or quelque, for example.
