EVAPORATION OF AN ARMY

Demobzaton is very technical word It calls attention to facts about the dispersion of an army which of a semiscientific nature and di- rects thoughts from other very homely, but very impressive reflections. Let substitute another
 We wish to fix eyes upon the strange, the aculous disappearance of the visible army which assembled with such prodigious labor and such tremendous Where it is now? Hun dreds upon hundreds of thousands--a couple of mill lions of soldiers have doffed their military regaias donned their civilian clothes and slipped quietly back into civilian pursuits almost without Govern ment aid A hundred places which were made to help them accomplish this remarkable feat have been substantially discarded because they refused be assisted Like the sturdy Americans they padded their own canoes back into the peaceful lakes and harbors from which they put out upon the temp estuous ocean of the great world The who were utterly or partly incapacitated being tenderE cared for and refitted, when capable, for life. But the rest-or the mighty of them, to say the least-have merged themselves silently, swiftly and Independently into the set of tional life.
 It is an amazing phenomenon It is like watch ing the rolling away of clouds at the end of tenn pest the dispersion of bank of fog, the evaporation of flood of water. There is thing quite wonderful in the conduct of these glorious youths in their retiring civil life in their abandoning civil life for the horrors of war, and although the phenomenon of their quiet dis persion is less brilliant and striking than that of their assembling it is less admirable and worthy of renown.

A Bewildering Senate
(New York World)

(New York WOT1dJ
 John Hav while he was Secretary of State in the Cabinet of President Mckinley, expressed the opinion that treaty of peace in normal state Of things ought to be ratified with uhahlmlty III t"ehty-lou hours"
 This is evidently the theory of the British House the Treaty of Peace bill the third reading by a vote of i63 to A. and unanimously approved the Ango-French convention for the protection of France until the League of Nations is established
 The contrast between the manner in which the House of Commons has discussed the great issues in volved in this settlement and the manner in which the United States is discussing them bring no of pride to the American people. In one case have a parliamentary body impressed with It's grave responsibilities and with the necessity of es tablishng peace without delay; in the other case we running riot and reckless politicians trying to plunge the world into chaos in order to display their personal dislike of the President of the United States
 Perhaps nothing fully reveals the spirit of this nsensate opposition than the recent perform of Senator Philander c. Knox, who has been Attorney General and Secretary of State and cannot be excused the ground of ignorance of his duties of the vast issues at stake Less than three weeks ago Senator Knox declaiming that the treaty of peace Twill apply the United States whether we shall actual yhave ratified or not, because peace will then be fact.
 Monday President Wilson through Senator Lodge asked the Senate Committee Foreign Relations for its approval to the appointment of American member of the Preparations Commission which must begin work at to assess the damages that Ger many must pay. Senator Knox thereupon introduced resolution declaring:
 That it is the judgment of the commit
 tee that until the treaty is ratified power
 exists, either in the President or Congress,
 to execute any provision of the proposed
 treaty either provisional yor otherwise.
 On July the treaty was to take effect for the United States it had been ratified by three other powers, because peace will then be fact" On July 21 authority existed for the ap pontment of member of the Preparations Commis- sion for the execution of of the provisions of the treaty until it had been ratified by the Senate. By a vote of 8 to the committee adhered to the Knox resolution which reverses the Knox contention of July 2, and if the political exgiencies demand it the committee will doubtless be ready week to adopt another resolution repudiating the position ken yesterday.
 In the time, the fact is worth recording that the Senate Committee Foreign Relations has yet finished reading the treaty of peace although various members making speeches about it, and Senator Moses, who is a member of the committee, has opened up line of attack by the formal yesterday that bad the League of Ma tions is, 'hs treaty is infinitely for than the League"
 Is it strange that a war-racked Europe is in state of utter bewilderment at the attitude the United States Senate?

LOCATION OF CAPITAL

Georgia has just passed through a capital re moval fight A strong effort made to change the capital Atlanta, the metropolis, to Macoh' The argument was advanced that Macon is nearer the center of the State.
 Fortunately, the effort failed The Empire says fortunately because the capitol of state shouio be in the metropos-the place where people go most in connection with business and for other pur- poses The old theory that state capital should be city where the main industry is state busl is based sound principles. It is fal better for officials and legislative sessions to be where the officers and legislators may best come in contact with the people of commonwealth who do not depend upon public office or political activity support. It is well for the servants or the public to be where they under the watchfu eye of their masters-the people-and where they can come with the greatest possible num- Der of average citizens.
 It is unfortunate that the capital of the United States is not in large metropolis-like the capi- tai of Great Britain, France Italy and other great countries of Europe. If the capital of the Nation Chicago instead of the Patomac 1t would be more nearly responsive to the popular will

JAPAN HELD TOP HAND

While there probably few Americans who are not sorry because of the apparent necessity of recognizing in the peace treaty Japan's claims at Kiaochow, it must be remembered that Japan had possession there her right of possession had been recognized by both Germany and China as well by Great Britain, France and Russia. By re- fusing to sign the peace treaty her rights would have been in spite of what the peace treaty might have said about the matter and only war of aggression could have forced her to yield what she legally held. Japan simply held the advantage and refused to relinquish it.
 However. it might be said in Japan's behalf that she had agreed with China hold the lcased territory for the 75 the German lease had yet to run She had already promised to relin-
