To THE EDITOR OF THE svN-sw: Wars

or they would not be fought at all.
Peace treaties and covenants should
not be made on emotion. but on cold

In considering the terms which are to
bind our future it Is right that we
should divest ourselves of every trace
of the high and generous feeling which
has carried our country through its time
Of sacrifice, and use our intelligence
alone to determine what will be for
our own welfare, and, as a factor In 1t

mand the same attitude on the part OF

The latest addition I'd the literature
descriptive OF the last days of the
former German Emperor with his
army is furnished by the Deutsche
Zeitun0 in letters exchanged between
WILLIAM and his son. the former
Crown Prince. F'REpERcK WILLIAM.
In a letter OF November Q the father
writes:
After the Court Chamberlain in
formed me that II was impossible longer
to guarantee my safety at Main Head
quarters and that the troops were no
longer Trustworthy, resolved, after n
severe mental struggle, to leave the
army, which had collapsed. and go to
Holland. l advise you to stick to your
post until the conclusion of an armls-
tice."
The letter from FREDERICK WILLIAM
two days later was mostly devoted TO
clearing himself Of blame and placing
the responsibility for the continuance
of the war upon General LUDENDoRFF,
and concludes with the statement that
when the great event hurled my
father from the throne, not only was
I not heard. but was simply passed
over as the Crown Prince and heir to
the throne" The Deutsche ZeitunD,
once a strong defender of Hohenzol-
lernism, has not improved the aspect
Of the flight through the Netherland
fog to a refuge in Holland 1t is diff
fcult to make of either father or son
a hero. All the efforts so far made
seem to prove the futility OF the task.

Statements that the forces which wor

seeking the Regal Punishment of the ciga
rette and other forms of tobacco from

friends of John II. Barleycorn and sup
porters of the saloon--at least in many

In the opinion of william II. Ander'

/ these statements originated with design.
Ing persons, seeking to make an appre'
hensive public believe it is in danger Of
losing its right to smoke it's head off, II
1t chooses, solely with the idea that the
spreading of such entirely erroneous
thoughts will arouse anti-prohibition sen.

This was the idea expressed yesterday
by MIR. Anderson. following publication
OF the announcement that the Anti Ciga-
rette League OF America was about to
send representatives here from Chicago
and start antl-cigarette propaganda in
every State and that the Committee OF
f1fty, made up OF chemists. economists
and physicians who abhor tho weed Is TO
conduct an exhaustive inquiry into the
subject and issue announcements from

In the near future I shall issue a
statement defining explicitly the attitude
OF the Anti-Saloon League respecting the
movement against tobacco. and give de-
tailed reasons for the position taken"
said Mr.. Anderson yesterday. For the
present, suffice it to say that the Anti
saloon League has absolutely nothing TO
do with any of these movements and has
never contemplated any activity against
tobacco and will not engage in any anti
tobacco movement"

we do not discover any undertaking to that
effect in the copy of the Treaty of Yer
sailles as published here. The treaty ap-
pears to be equally silent as to the dura-
ton of Japan's proposed occupancy Of
the Shantung province outside the port.
Germany simply renounces to Japan such
title, rights and privileges particularly in
railways, mines and submarine cables-as
the German empire acquired from China
by a treaty made with that power on
March 8, 1893.
Before the Paris Peace Conference and
indeed before the armistice, Japan and
China entered into diplomatic negotiations
for the enlargement of the railway sys-
TEN connecting Shantung with other out
lying provinces These negotiations con-
templated japanese loans to the extent Of
$35 100000 for The construction of two
railway lines leading out Of the Shantung
province into Chill and Kiang-Su, with
an aggregate length of 460 miles-or a
little more than the distance from New
York to Buffalo
There was nothing secret about the
agreement, the terms of which were pub
hshed In the. Japan Advertiser, daily
English newspaper edited by an American,
at Toxic, IN the month Of October, 1913
The Japanese Government does not seem
to have been conscious at that time that
the extension of Japanese influence IN
Shantung could or would be deemed
wrongful or Objectionable by anybody;
but now because the Treaty Of Versailles
does not fix time limit for the exercise of
Japan's activities in Shantung, the Japan
csc are accused Of trying to steal Chinese
provincel We hardly think it will turn
out to be as bad as that 1t could have
been better if the Treaty of Versailles had
been specific as to the duration and con-
ditions of Japan's occupancy; but in ad-
vance Of a disclosure of all the facts
Americans should not hasten to pronounce
Judgment against the japanese in this
matter.
