WHAT IF GERMANY BALKs?

The treaty is said to be getting SO near COM
pletion that it can be laid before the Germans
next week, after which they will have fifteen or
twenty days for its consideration America has
been allowed to have hazy general idea OF
some of it's provisions and to know that it does
not cover as it stands today, any OF the great
questions of Eastern Europe Russia, the Bal
kans or Asia Minor. No agreement as to these
has yet been reached, the whole concern of the
conference being to submit terms to Germany
before she goes bolshevik and refuses to agree
to anything Having dawdled and wrangled
for more than five months, this was the only
thing the conference could do; and the question
overshadowing all others is whether Germany
will accept the conditions offered or if the time
when she might have done SO has gone by. Ii
she declines and offers either active or passive
resistance new troubled chapter In world at
fairs will open, and nobody ventures to guess
what the outcome will be. The one thing clear
is that if the situation demands allied action,
it is not the league but the alliance between the
entente powers, with such help as America may
give them, on which civilization must rely. The
league draft will be laid upon the shelf while
the entente nations work together under their
1914 compact to save the world from anarchy
as they saved it from rnilitarism four years ago.
II seems for the best that Germany should sign
the treaty and observe it. But the belief that
she will do so is not so general as the hope that
she will

Trains Reputation
Is Spread Broadcast

The reputation of the train as an
effective weapon in fighting typhus has
spread far and wide. Built by the
American Red Cross for the Allies, it
was originally intended to be used first
in the maritime provinces of Siberia.
Then came the tremendous epidemics
of typhus out west in the heart OF
winter-e epidemics that ran the number
of hospital cases into the tens Of thou
samsis and the unreported cases into
.,- .wenties Of thousanos. From mil
itary camp and concentration point;
from soldier and prison barracks; from
hospitals and orphanages and refugee
colonies; from railroad trains, crowded
with homeless people, and stations even
more crowded, came reports OF the
spread of the spotted fever"
So the Great White Train went
west--long cars for bathing men, wom-
en- and children unwashed for months;
cars for cutting the hair and steriliz-
ing the clothes; cars laden with medic
aments and clothing, and began its

the train crew had determined to es-

it were possible to keen the men NOV

ferences with the leading officials, mill

betrayed the country he had saved.

would probably not even have asked

purposes than the man who had up
set his own ministry only few
years before rather than refrain
from assailing Declasse for that

led to war with Germany at the
Tangiers time. But had Clemenceau

the minimum guarantee of future
military security.
In America certain fraction of
so-called liberals are accustomed to
assert that Clcmenceau's unpopu-
larity at home grew out of his cham
pionship of imperialistic aspirations.
In point of view, bitter as are the

The outcry Of the Socialist wing
in the French parliament over the
Sarre Basin and other details in the
peace treaty is in the main merely
the use of a pretext to as
sail an enemy. Not a few of
those Socialists who to-day are
receiving American applause be-
cause of their criticisms of the
Treaty of Versailles were open or

advocates of a surrender peace with
Germany when Clemenceau came

There is ample testimony as. to the
good work accom- mplished by the eXpedi-
tion, some of it from businesslike of
ticials who were, in the beginning, If
the train would be a success. When
typhus began to die down with the
coming summer, and the train was TAX

tributed, the question arose as to its
disposition. General Knox, head of the
British Military Mission, who has seen

tclegraphed to Vladivostok. The train
has "done grand work." he wired. "it
must not be scrapped."
The train left Nladivostok February

engaged in it's relief work. The director

Nor must one forget the fact that
this old man. in many ways the
greatest civilian figure of the whole
war, had been for more than sixty
years fighting in French politics
single He counted more
enemies than any other Frenchman.
He gloried in the savageness of the
phrases by which he destroyed his
political opponents, and however
much these opponents may have
been forced by the very circum-
stances of the war to refrain from
attacking Clemenceau before the
victory was won, no such prohibition
succeeded the German surrender.
Finally, Clemenceau's decision to
yield to Anglo-American policy in
the matter of the Rhine frontier
was followed by a similar accept
ance Of the policy of Mr.. Wilson
and Lloyd George in the case of
Italy. They were. and there remain,

weakness which in the minds of
most French observers foreshadows

of the brevity CT the popularity

It's still less than year since Gle

The greeting given to Clenenceau

French political history. 1t was not

as he chose to remain in public life.
