MIR. PERKINS AND THE '. NJ. C. A.

George w.

M. C. A. drives that the American soldiers were wrong This is not said for the purpose of disparaging Mr. Perkins statements. They ring true and those who arc ac- quaintcd with him, personally or through reading the newspapers will accept his word that he is convinced they are true.
 It is unfortunate for Mir. Perkins that his defense is offered so long aft CT the original charges. The critic of the Y. NI C. A, is the United States soldier. Whether he expected too much, whether the Y. M. C. A. made grandiose promises which it could not carry out, whether the puDllC IS 10 blame for believing things that were never promiscd-thesc have no bear ing on the case in the final analysis. The fact remains that the organiza tion did not come up to the standards established in the mind of the fighting man. These standards may have been entirely imaginary-but they were argument could change them.
 An idea of the effort put forth by the Y. M. C. X. may be gained from the statistics submitted by MT. Perk- ins. In Franco alone the association handled two billion packages of cigar cites, thirty-two million bars of choc-

PLEDGING AID TO FRANCE.

In connection with the peace treaty, the announcement was made ycster- day that the United states and Eng land would be asked to pledge their support to France should she be at tackled by Germany. The announce ment said;
 In addition to the securities af-
 forded in the treaty of peace, the
 President of the United States has
 pledged himself to propose to the
 Senate of the United States and
 the Prime Minister of Great
 Britain has pledged himself to
 propose to the Parliament oi
 Great Britain. an :agrecment as
 subject to the approval Of the
 Council of League of Nations. to
 come immediately to the assist
 ance of Franco in case of unpro-
 voked attack by Germany N This. no doubt is the basis on which recent rumors were founded, 1t being whispered that President Will. son had already extended guarantees to safeguard the integrity of France against German attacks although every school child knows that such guarantees were beyond his author- ity. The actual case is quite different from the earlier reports.
 Tt is of importance to notice the wording that the President of the United States has pledged himself to propose to the Senate of the United States" etc. Should the Senate ap- prove the venture and pass favora bly, on it, America would be bound by treaty to provide military assistance 10 France under certain conditions. < aa8xss of an armed and well trained Lass@ of fighting men and a navy cap < 8Ksge of protecting their passa ge across Be ocean. It would also mean a de- parture from our tra aditions, so deal to the hearts of some patriots, inas- much as we would then he definitely allied by a military pact with an Flu ropean country.
 No information is at hand concern Ing President Wilson's attitude. It is not revealed whether he approves of such a step. It might be that, for the purpose of stilling French alarm, he promised simply to act in the role of a messenger bearing an important document from the Peace Conference to the Senate of the United States and submit it without recommendation Certainly the idea does not square with the theory upon which the League of Nations has been con- structed.
 There Is another point which could be quoted adverse to the proposal Under our Constitution, Congress has the authority to declare war. The House of Representatives is part of Congress. Would treaty of this na- lure entered into through the Senate Rlonc be binding on the lower house if we were confronted with another aggressive war by Germany against France?

GERMANS INSULTING,
 IN HUGHES OPINION
CIemCnceau Stands While Delivering Treaty. But Hun Delegates Remain Seated.

London, May 7.--After the confer enCe at Versailles today William VI. Hughes, premier of Australia, said. according to a Reuter- dispatch, the attitude of Count NOn BroCkdorff- Rantzau was an intolerablc insult 10 inc conference, for while Premier CIemencean spoke standing the Ger man spokesman did not rise while making his address. In spite of their intoIera blC arrogance, this has been a day of humiliation for the Germans which We could sec had entered into their souls"
 William F. Massey, premier of Ne" Zealand, said:
 "'The Germans were more impudent and aggressive than anything 1 nave ever met"

 SEVERE BUT JUST. The one note struck by the press of he United States in commenting on he terms of peace is that, while sc were, they are not destructive, as would have been the case had the Central Powers been victorious. The New York Times says:
 The atoncment exactcd is heavy to a degree that would have tran scended all German powers of imagination five years ago. It is a terrible punishment the German people and their mad rulers have brought upon themselves. Can Germany live under these condi- tions? All tho world can sec that they are terribly severe. But the world knows. too, that they were just They may seem even lenicnt compared With the terms a vic torious Germany would have inn posed on the enslavcd world Along the same line, the New York World says:
 Severe as the terms are, they are by no means the ruthless peace of an insensate conuucror. German military power is de- stroyed for all time, but Germany is not dism em bercd. At the worst it is stripped of some of it's for mer conquests. The terms are light in comparison with the terms the Germans would have imposed had they triumphed. The conclusion of the New York Herald is:
 Certainly the American people will approve these terms, as they will the spirit of the treaty as a whole. The peace it provides in respect to Germany is 'victor's peace" principally in the sense that the treaty seals a victory for right and justice.
 The New York Sun prefers to re- main in cold isolation. It devotes little attention to the treaty terms themselves but contributes a four col umn attack on President Wilson's for eign policies.
 The St. Louis Globe Democrat re- at the German military system, say ing:
 Severe as the terms are few can say that they are not essentially just in view of the colossal ca lamity which Germany brought upon the world. And it should be observed that they strike prl- marily at the military power, the military system, which Germany has taught the world to hate. Comment by the Philadelphia Pub lie Ledger is
 Certainly no man can read the treaty and be in any doubt as to who lost the war. Yet there is no brutal and purely punitive spolia- ton. Germany is not dismem- hered She is left with no ranking wound, no just cause to resume the war.
 Stern justice is seen in the terms by the Philadelphia North American, which says:
 Impressive as the terms are, thCV represent only the mlnlmunn provisions of a just settlement.

Grain About An Avrage,
But of Inferior Quality

The Manila Thresning Cos. crew
contemplates run OF about sixty
days this season, and with almost
half OF that time already expired, the
grain harvesting for half OF the far
mers of this community and vicinity
Is over for another year.
According to reports, the yield OF
grain per acre this year averages be-
tween thirty and forty bushels.
Though of an inferior quality, the yield
is practically as great as that OF last
season, with but very little oats and
barley and an unusually abundant
wheat crop.
For the past week, the daily run
of this machine and its men has been
from 900 to 100 bushels. We were
unable to secure reports from the
other local machines.
