Mr.. Wilson and "Mandates''

sary for President Wilson to set
forth on a tour of the country to
plead for the ratification of a
treaty of peace the terms of
which had been dictated to a Ger
man republic by the victorious
Allies Associated Powers?
This question was recently
asked by The New York World.
1t reused the New York Sun.
There is another question,
also looking backward" says
The Sun, which seems to US
quite as interesting. On April
% 1919, who would have believ-
ed that within five months it
would be necessary for President
Wilson to quit his post of duty
and set forth on a tour of the
country to plead with his coun-
trymen for a mandate favorable
to his League of Nations and his
covenant? For that is the date
on which President Wilson as
sured the Peace Conference,
without hesitation and without
qualification, that he came to
Paris already in possession of
the mandate. He then said:
IF we return to the United
States without having made
every effort in our power to real
ize this program we should meet
the merited scorn of our fellow
fellow citizens. For they are a
body that constitute a great de-
mecracy. They expect tn cir
leaders to speak their thoughts,
and no private purpose of their
own. They expect their repre-
sentatives to be their servants.
We have no choice but to obey
their mandate. But it is with
the greatest enthusiasm and
pleasure that we accept that
mandate; and because this is the
keystone of the whole fabric. we
have pledged our every purpose
to it, as we have to every item
of the fabric. We would not
dare abate a single item of the
programme which constitutes our
Instructions"
who that believed him then, -
asks The Sun, would have be-
lieved that this frantic quest of
a mandate, this pursuit of in
structions from the American
people, this desperate appeal for
support, could be necessary with
| in five months of the day when
he made those misleading repre-
sensations to Europe?" /.
To this the N. o. Item replies,
The implications thus set up
by our two distinguished con-
temporaries are both wrong.
The principles ultimately laid
down as a basis for the impend.
ing armistice had several times
been defined and proclaimed by
Mr.. Wilson on September a, 1918.
When reaffirmed at the time OF
the armistice, they were not only
acclaimed by the approval of an
Overwhelming majority of the
people of the United States. but
were accepted by the govern
ments of the Allied Nations.
More than that, Mr.. Wilson's
appearance before the public Of
England, France and Italy, wor
the same principles the same
popular approval in those coun'
tries that our own people haC
given them.
Mr.. Wilson'S statement to The
Conference on April %, there
fore, was not misleading at all
a good deal has occurred in the
meantime. That is all.

BABY POISONER SENT
TO A HOME FOR CARE
Judge Abruptly Ends Trial of Is
Year.Old Girl Who Gave
Lysol to Infant.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The trial Of
thirteen-year-old Frances Sullinski,
who killed hfteen-month- old Solomon
Kramer by administering lysol, came
to an abrupt end in the Brooklyn
Children's Court yesterday when JUS
ticc Levy ordered the girl committed
to an institution.
The Justice characterized her as -
human weed" and 'in need of the
care Of the State" Assistent District
Attorney Conway bitterly opposed
the action on the ground that Frances
had been indicted for manslaughter.
He insisted the taking Of testimony
should proceed.
Justice Levy. however. said that q
continuance of the trial would be
cruel and unnecessary and that 1t
could only result in the finding of the
child guilty a. q Juvenile delinquent,
which simply would mean In the end
her commitment to q reformatory or
correctional institution.
The killing Of the Kramer child oc-
Cured on July 81. After the girls ar
rest she confessed she had admins
tered the poison "to get even" with
the infants nurse, BRANDED Nussbaum
with whom she had quarreled.

CAPT. SMITH Wins
AUSTRALIAN FLIGHT
Aviator From Antipodes Gets
$4,000 Prize in Greatest
Air Race.

PORT DARWIN. South Australia
Dec. 10.-Capt. Ross Smith, Austria.
lian aviator. arrived here today, win
ming the s5o.ooo prize for the frst
flight from England to Australia
Captain Smith set out yesterday
from Bima, Dutch East Indies. s1s
miles from the nearest LANDING
place on the Australian coast, rhi.
flight, over volcanic islands and nm.
charted seas, was the most danger.
Gus lap of the air voyage. -
Surprising adventures were en-.
countered in Java Near Surabaya
Smith was compelled to land by en-.
gine trouble, and became heavily
begged, even the under carriage
sinking in the mud. He rounded up
200 blacks from neighboring villages
and made them dig out the machine
and cut thousands Of bamboo, con-
structing a bamboo track over tha
bog. Taxying over this, he got into
the air.
The ngland-to-Australia air race
was the most spectacular and thrill
ing contest ever attempted. The
prize of $4,000 was offered by the
Australian government. Capt. Ross
Smith left the Hounslow aerodrome
near London, November H., on the
1880 mile flight. He crossed Europe
and Asia, flying over France, Italy,
the Balkans, Turkey, Persia, India,
Siam and Java
One of the conditions was that the
flight must be accomplished IN thirty
ays. When India was reached, the
flight developed into a thrilling con-
test between Ross Smith and Etienne
Poulet, a French flyer. They were
only forty-fve minutes apart when
Rangoon, India, was reached. but
from then on the Australian outdis-
tanced his competitor.
