RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason
VACATION.

And now the city dweler dreams Of forests moors
and lonely fens Of speced trout in mountain streams and
rufous deer that roam the gens. When summer comes
with bassy skies who does not long for things like these
for outings where the mountains rise in the shade of
lordy trees? And surely men who toll and spin for weary
months and give their best when ratified by the eys
din should have one month of helpful rest One month
OF oafng in the des where Nature does her smoothes
work and man would come back wearing BELLS to do his
stunt as shipping clerk One month Of camping in the
Wild the office chairs all left behind and man would
then be reconciled to his demntion, beasty grind One
month Of trapping grizzly bears, of catching Goldfish in
the sea- Of chasing bobcats to ther liars and man would do
the work of three Though earnestly we workers try to
plan out fine vacation schemes the cost of living so
high we have to take it out in dreams The grocer and
the butched still insist on having all we pass
up the windswept Hill the woodland and the brae and
burn The ceman and the plumber come to tell how they
think we owe in vain the scented breezes hum, can't
enjoy them as they blow.

The history OF German colonization
is one of the exploitation of semi bar
barous peoples for the benefit Of Ger
many, without the slightest regard to
the welfare or interests of the peoples
she ruled over Il is, therefore, UNI
thmkable that any OF the African or
Australasian possessions Of Germany
should be restored to her, nor is it con.
eciyable that the allied powers should
return to the rule Of the unspeakable
Turk any Of those regions which have
been freed from Ottoman tyranny.
Not Ready for Self Governments
The African colonies are, and for
many years will be, incapable of gov
arning themselves. Such regions as
MesOpotamia, Syria and Armenia are
occupied by peoples unaceustomed to
self government, and incapable, at the
present time, Of being entrusted with
complete political autonomy. While
aeh Of these countries was occupied
~ the army of one of the allied DOW.
ars, yet, in a general sense, their pos
session was the result Of the combined
effort Of the allies, and no one power
IS warranted in claiming the right, or
should be changed with the duty of
continued occupation and sole respon.
sibility for the government of such re-
giOns The suggestion Of General SHUTS
was followed BY the peace conference
as affording just solution of a diff
cult problem

practical effect to this principle to be

character of the mandate under which
they should act must differ according
to the stage of development of the
people, the geographical situation Of
the territory, its economic conditions.

THE COLONIAL MANDATES


General Smuts, in December last, pub
lished a little brochure, which he call
ed "The League Of Nations; a Prae-
teal Suggestion. - In it, he outlined
his project of league, which has been
very closely followed in the covenant
which has been adopted by the peace
conference in Paris. General Smuts
pointed out that one Of the first re-
suits Of the war would be the removal
of existing s0vereigntios over the CO.
lonial empire Of Germany and the ma
tions heretofore under Ottoman rule,
and the establishment Of a group OF
new and uutried states in Europe.
With respect to the colonies, he in
sisted that none Of these territories
should be annexed by any Of the victor
ious powers: that in their future gov
ernment. any external authority. con-
troll or administration which might be
necessary because of their imperfectly
developed civilization, should exclusive
Nv be vested in and exercised by or on
behalf of the league of nations. He
poiated out that wherever in the past
Joint international administration had
oeen applied to territories or peoples,
it had been found wanting; that the
only successful administration of col
onies or dependencies was that which
had been carried out under the diree-
tion Of one state with sufficient exper'
icncc for the purpose. He advocated
dp,t 81, "a a, fsnu ce tha naoplnu aud tnr-
ritories coming under the jurisdiction
Of the league, by nominating a partie-
ular state to act for and on behalf Of
the league in tie matter, and that
wherever possible, this agent or man
datory of the league should be nomi-
mated or approved by the people Of the
territory in question, the degree of au-
thority, control Or administration to be
exercised by the mandatary state to
be In each case laid down by the lea
que in a special act or charter.
Britain s Colonial Empire"
During the war, different powers of
the alliance came into the possession
Of various territories or colonies, and,
at the time of the opening Of the peace
conference, some of them gave evil
dence Of strong desire to continue
such possession for their own benefit.
On the other hand, Great Britain dis
played very strong disinclinatlon to
expose herself to the charge of having
waged war to extend her colonial en-
pirc. General SHUTS proposal furnish
cd \ solution of both of these difficult

and other similar circumstances. In the
ease OF communities formerly belong
ing to the Turkish empire which have
reached stage Of development where
their existence as independent nations
can Professionally be recognized, SUB
jeet TO the general assistance and con
troll Of a mandatory, it is declared that
the wishes of those communities should
be the principal consideration in the Sc
lection of q particular mandatary. 9th
er peoples, especially those Of Central
Africa, are at such stage of develop
ment that the mandatary must be re-
spOnSible for the administrator of the
territory, under conditions which viii
guarantee freedom Of conscience or re-
hgion, subject only to the maintenance
Of public order and morals, the prohi-
bition Of abuses, such as the slave
Tade, the arms traffic and the liquF
traffic, and the prevention Of the estab
ishment of Notifications or militarya
OF naval bases, and of military training
of the natives, except for their 0wR
police and defense purposes, and under
such conditions also as wall secure
equal opportunities for the trade and
commerce of ether members Of the lea
que. These provisions should effective
" preclude the possibility of such
scandals as the history of the Congo
state affords.
International Stewardship
Other territories, such as Southwest
Africa and certain Of the South Pa
eifie Islands, which are contiguous 70
organized and civilized powers of the
character fthc South African Union
or the Australasian Commonwealth can,
it is pointed out in the revised cove
nant best be administered as integral
portions Of the territory Of such an adj
iacent nation, and under its laws, sub
ieet to the safeguards above mention
ed, and in the interests Of the indi-
genous population.
In every instance, the mandatory is
required to render to the council an
annual report of its stewardship. and
a permanent commission is to be con
stituted to receive and examine these
reports, and to advise the council on
all matters relating to the observance
of the mandates.
The United States is not required,
under the treaty, to accept mandate
to administer any one of these terri
tories. But the direct responsibility
which it has assumed in the settlement
of the terms of peace may, and prob
ably will, impose upon il the moral OBJ
legation of discharsing some duty in
this direction, The experience which
has been gained in the administration
of our Asiatie and other insular pos
sessions should have fitted us for tho
performance of such trust.

KAISER AND CHANCELLOR.

The offer of Won Bethmann-H Holweg to stand trial
before Allied tribunal in place of Wilhelm HOhenzO
ern might an mreSSve act of generosity and
citation There may have been some such feeling his
part in this strange suggestion the former Chancellor
is known to have decency in his makeup than the
average PrusSan statesman as he showed when he adj
mtted before the Rechstag that the invasion of Belgium
was "a wrong" But little reflection results in the con-
cuson that this simply is another spectacular example
of course of action that the Germans have been engag
ed in since the went against them---namely,
passing the buck"
Bethmann-Holwegs offer is probably part of a care
fully prepared scheme the part of the schemers
who started the He seeks technically to draw at
tenon from the kaiser to himself For this purpose he
chooses to sole official responsibility for the
launching of the and the manner wagng while he
remained in power
This assumption is absurd on the face of it, for the
whole world knows that Bethmann Howeg as chancellor
not at all in the same position with respect to the
kaiser as the premier of Great Britain or Italy with
spect to the king Germany not constitutional
archy 1t absolute monarchy. The chancellor was
responsible to the kaiser aone---he owed account
ability to the German Reichstag and offered nOne He
was accountable solely to his MASTER Wilhelm who boast
ed that he himself accountable only to God That
fact clearly puts the kaiser the responsibility for the
administrative acts.
It's fine Prussian plot The kaiser passes the buck
to his chancellor That the biggest STEP With that ac
compished the chancellor would proceed to prove his own
constructive innocence and pass the buck to name
less group of mitarsts unkers to the Rechstag
in general And thus it would be passed and uggled
around until the guilt centered upon the kaiser was
dsspaed into thin air. and there guilty Prussan left

BITUMINOUS SURFACE
TREATMENT MAY BE
GOOD FOR FARM ROADS.

Owners of large farms nd rural es-
estates seeking a more satisfactory
type of entrance roads have applied to
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for advice regarding the APP
plication of bituminous material on
main entrance and much-traveled
farm lanes.
The bureaus engineers point out
that such applications may be made
successfully on any farm road which
has already been constructed of stone
gravel, or other similar material and
in thoroughly compacted and reas-
onably smooth condition. A coal-tar
preparation applied cold, or an as
phalt oil, can be used, and if applied
by the farm employees the cost should
not exceed Z to 8 cents a square yard
for materials. The compacted gray
ell or stone road should be thoroughly
cleaned of dust and the bitumen ap-
Piled with ordinary sprinkling pots
from which the perforated nozzle has
been removed and the spout carefully
flattened into a symmetrical rectang-
ular opening about one-quarter of an
inch wide, so that the material may be
poured in a broad, fiat stream.
If a large amount of work is to be
done, a specially designed pouring can
may be purchased of dealers in road
equipment. Care should be taken to
have an even distribution, and the
quantity applied should be approx
mately one-half gallon to a square
yard of road surface. After apply
ing the bituminous material, clean
gravel or stone chips should be spread
evenly over the surface, and, if pos
sible, rolled with a lawn or field roll
Ter. Where gravel or chips are not
available, clean, coarse sand will
serve as covering material. It should
be spread in sufficient quantity to
prevent the bituminous material from
adhering to tires of passing vehicles
Attention is called to the fact that
this treatment shrould not be made
where drainage from the stables OF
barns will flow over it. Where mud
holes are likely to form around hitch
ing posts or stable entrances, if a
more durable pavement is desired a
section of concrete slab should be
laid.
