announced that the forcble occupation of
territory during the period of the armistice
would not necessarily constitute title to
such territory. The decision seems harm
less, even just. In reality it is bound to
have very grave consequences. This dec
aration of the conference is, in fact, q
favorable reply to the more less imper-
alive protests made by the Germans against
the national organization begun by the
Poles.
Prussian Poland is territory incontestably
Polish, which, by all the declarations and
promises of the Entente, must pass into
Polish possession, and without which Pc
land would not be able to exist as an indie
pendent state. The declaration of the
conference has given JOY to the Czecho
Slovaks and not only the Germans of Ger
many but also the Germans of Austria. The
"Fremdenblatt" Of Vienna describes it as
of great Importance, constituting an I'M
equivocal disapproval of the action of the
Poles and Jugo- Slavs who are organizing on
a national basis.
Thus not long after having recognized
the Bolsheviki the peace conference issues
a statement which has every appearance of
being directed against the Slavs and Latins
of Central Europe, that is to say, against
the Allies whose assistance helped not a
little toward victory and whose organization
Independent states is the only way to
prevent the reestabshment of Pan-Ger-
mania
The results of the weakness and lack of
ference in the decision I have just referred
to have been immediate, as might have been
expected. This weakness was accompanied
by the rebrth of German aggressveness.
On the occasion of the ex-Kaiser's birthday

be brought to punis hment. The "Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung" of Berlin also protests
against the bringing of charges against
William II.
What is more, his birthday moved the
German popular party to thank the ex-
Kaiser for all he did in the course of his
reign. An address drawn up wherein
occurs the following PASSAGE:

COL. CABELL GOES
TO FORT RINCCOLD
Former Commander Of South
ern Department Will Com
mand Fourth Cavalry.

Colonel DeRosey G. Cabell, who
as major general commanded the
southern department Of the United
States army, at Fort Sam Houston,
until he returned to his regular rank
as colonel. reported at district head
quarters at Fort Brown Thursday
having been assigned as commander
of the Fourth u. s. Calvary at Fort
Ringgold. Colonel Cabell jeff this
morning for Fort Ringgold.
Colonel Cabell during his stay in
San Antonio came to be admired and
loved by the people Of that city, and
just before his departure for the bor-
der he was the guest of honor at a
dinner given by prominent business
men Of that city.
OF this affair, the San Antonio Ex-
press said:
Mr.. Hertzberg was the first speak
|er that J. b. Darlington, toastmaster,
called on to make on informal talk
after the chicken dinner. He declar-
ed that Colonel Cabell was still a
general to him despite the decree of
July 81 that reduced him in the
army; for, he said, the colonel was a
friend, and my friends always give
the highest rank" Senator Hertz
berg was liberal in his praise of the
skillful work that Col. Cabell did on
the border, quoting from Senator
Dudley Of I'll Paso to show what the
remainder Of the state thinks Of the
colonel.
Another side of the colonel was
pictured by Mayor Bell lie told Of
Cabell the man, the companion, and
friend. He related little personal ex-
periences of the two when they were
camping in Yellowstone National
Park. IL was 30 years ago, he said,
since he first met Cabell
Everyone rose and applauded when
Col. Cabell started to answer the
toasts of his friends. II find it hard
to talk" said the colonel, because
my heart has been touched by the sin
cere regard Of these friends" The
colonel told Of his rather lonesome
naturally unsociable life on account
of his station in the West. He said
he had never had many friends nor
enemies. II was surprised when /
came to San Antonio how easily the
people made friends and never have
had so many" He ended by saying,
quoting again from Senator Hertz
berg's speech, that he, too, hoped to
make San Antonio his home when
the time came for him to retire.
