Americas Concern.

But what concern has America in
all this?" Again and again since
returned from Paris I have heard the
same question asked. Well. four
years ago-three years ago-the same
question was asked with respect to
the world war, yet in the end we
were dragged into the struggle under
conditions which very nearly in
volved US in a losing war. We should
not be less, but more, affected by
any new German attack We shall not
be less concerned if Germany. by en-
listing American championship, de-
faults upon her obligations to France
and plunges France into bankruptcy
and revolution; if by her propaganda
and her maneuverS she separates US
from Britain and attacks Britain.
The treaty of Versailles does not
accomplish German defeat in this
war; it merely provides a basis for
the accomplishment of the fact Ger
many will have lost the war only
when she shall have paid the price
of her devastations. If France falls
Germany will yet win the war: if she
separates us from the French and
for a new and successful war. She
will accept this peace as a settle
ment only when she understands that
il is permanently guaranteed by the
nations which combined to defeat her
and in combination can always de-
feat her.
German policy for the next months
and years is obvious. 1t may succeed
and If it does it will make all the
sacrifice of the last war in vain, for
the German spirit, the German
ideals. the German purpose re
main the same. 1t will fail,
the victory will be maintained,
il the friendship, association, under
standing between Great Britain,
France and the United States endure
and increase with the years This
association was the rock on which the
German attack broke. 1t is the cor
ner stone of world peace and world
freedom for the future 1t is the fact.
the only fact in the dream of a league
Of nations. for which it may become
the foundation, but without which
there can be neither a league of ma
tons nor more than a temporary

that it is very doubtful if the per-
mission sought will be granted for
the introduction of any new enter
prise of the kind into the country,
which is reasonably well supplied in
this direction already and there being
no crying need for extension.
View of High Officials
High government officials who are
that Mexico needs all the cereals she
produces for the proper Authorization
of her people. having indeed to i'm
port large amounts from abroad every
year. The installation there of the
breweries that have been closed in
the United States. it is pointed out,
would injure the country by consum
ing such grain in their operations.
while in return they would serve no
| beneficial purpose. Enough beer is
already produced there. it is stated.
to supply all reasonable demands. A
small demand could be created in Cen
trail American countries which have
no, local breweries. but that would
not amount to any large quantity.
One high official sums up the OBJ
lection to the establishment OF more
breweries in Mexico as follows:
First-The resources destined for
the use of establishments devoted to
the manufacture of beer depend upon
agriculture.
Second-The grain SO used is only
produced to small extent in this
country, and large importations are
necessary. while if it were devoted
in large quantity to the use OF
breweries. the price would necessarily
appreciate. to the damage of the peo-
pie.
Third-Instead of regenerating the
country. there would be a tendency
to gradual degeneration, while as
consequence of competition between
rival concerns there would be an in
crease in the amount produced and
lowering of prices. which would
tend to increase consumption with It's
attendant evils.

TOO UNWIELDY

The crossing of the Atlantic by the British dirigible
R-34 is a triumph for designers, builders, officers and
crew, andN who had a hand in the great undertaking.
1t is perhaps more of a triumph than it would have been
had all conditions been favorable and the trip made on
schedule time. The airship made better time than dc
the fastest liners. and because of adverse winds and 9TH
er unfavorable conditions she travelled a good many more
miles than were covered by steamers. 1t has been shown
therefore, not only that the crossing in a very short time
is quite feasible. but that q properly built and well man
aged balloon can take care Of itself under quite trying
conditions.
But while a triumph has been scored. the facts i'm
press one strongly with the impracticabnity Of the dirig-
IDLE, like the airplane, for anything but special service
of a very peculiar nature. The great objection to the
dirigible for ordinary use is its great bulk and unwieldi.
ness. Consider the dimensions Of the R-34, length $40
feet width - feet, height - feet. An ordinary city
block is 800 feet long. Most of our streets are 80 feet
wide, not from curb to curb, but from property line to
property line. The great airship, therefore. is more than
two city blocks long and would fill the street from side to
side to a height about equal to that Of a seven-story
building. The enormous bluk is so flimsily built that for
purposes Of resistance to the air it has SO little weight at
any time as to be negligible. while in condition for flight
its weight in the air is less than nothing, as it exerts a
strong upward pull.
This great gas bag is safe and manageable when
in its own shed but there is but one shed in the world
capable of receiving and shelterng it. Out Of doors it
requires a crew Of from 500 to 500 men to hold it down
and steady it. Such a crew is not available everywhere,
and in any flight a dirigible may be forced by even a
slight accident to descend. Without the safety crew the
aircraft would be destroyed in even a moderate breeze.
With all this bulk and unwieldiness the ship can carry a
crew sufficient to operate it, fuel enough to propel it.,
and very little more.
Air travel for ordinary purposes is still in the tu-
ture. M. .@a r ~

CHEAP DRAMATlCS

To offer to take the place of the formef kaiser, and
to submit to any punishment which otherwise might be
visited on him il getting to be a fashion among members
of the old German court party. First came Bethmann-
Hollwes with the declaration that according to consti-
tutional forms he, as the chief adviser Of the monarch
at the beginning of the war, was legally responsible for
the acts of his superior, and he asked that he be permit
ed to take his former masters place. Then came Hin
|denburE, who assumed responsibility for all the mill
tary decisions made. He, too. offers to take the place
of the former sovereign. Still more lately the five young
Ier sons Of the fugitive emperor listen to the promptings
of filial love and ask that they be permitted to suffer in
their sire's stead. All very interesting, very touching,
very cheap.
Whether these offers Of vicarious atonement are
items in a deliberately prepared program or are spon-
taneous does not appear. II they are spontaneous, those
who make them are not risking much. Before any one
OF these offers was made it 10 q dead certainty no such
offer would be accepted. II any Of these individuals

VIII the Germans give up their former kaiser? OF
course he is at present not In their custody, and a de-
mand for his person would have to be made on Holland.
But the insertion in the treaty Of the clause providing
for the surrender for trial Of all who arc charged with
responsibility for the war seems to imply that the Ger
mans themselves are expected to obtain possession OF
William and deliver him to the court for trial. But while
the government has authorized the signing of the treaty,
there is a rather active movement in Germany In oppo-
sition to the trial Of the former kaiser.
The German government has promised to surren-
der the kaiser and the authors Of atrocities. The League
Of German Men and Women for the Protection of the
Freedom and Life Of William II" win have none of this.
It will protect the kaiser and 1.-THE brave U-boat COM
manders who gambled their lives in steel collins for the
Fatherland." Being Germans. they are sincere in their
solicitude for the safety of the murderers of woman and
children; to the German mind the murder Of non-Ger-
man women and children is no crime. cannot even SEEM
a crime to non-Germans: the only conceivable reason
why the Allies want the U-boat commanders given up
for punishment is that these men by unlawful means
almost won the war. But it is not a question Of motive;
it is a question Of fact: and the fact is that after the Ger
man government has promised to give up offenders this
league promises to build around the kaiser and his sub
marine commanders "a wall Of bodies to protect them,
against their enemiea =
Officers of the general staff resign, but say they will
withhold their designations if the government accedes
to the wishes of the general staff against its own word
and refuses to give up the kaiser. Two thousand men
have offered themselves as a bodyguard to General Won
Deintling in case the Allies demand his surrender for
trial. The government has promised; the Junkers, say
they will annul the promise. What answer will be1grven
to them by this government which is so valorous against
rioters on the streets of Berlin, but seems so careless of
insults and disobedience from Hoffman, and his like?
If the crown prince or some other leader should gather
the forces of reaction in an actual attempt to overthrow.
the republican government, they would probably be beat
en-; but they do not need to overthrow it: they are at
this very moment defying it; disregarding it, announc-
ing to the world that they will not let it keep it's word.
There seems to be no need for Junker revolution: the
Junkers are in power already.
