Of Germany will hereafter be Joined
to their brethren OF Russia and Aus
TRAN Poland. They have prevented
German action against the Poles along
the Vistula under threat OF Allied In
vasion Of Germany east OF the Rhine.
They have drawn provisional line
of demarcation with far more consid-
Grafton of German claims than Polish
rights, but at least they have made q
beginning.
Coincident with this beginning is
the development of profound convic-
ton in all quarters In Paris that It Is
now necessary to make at least pro-
visional peace with Germany, to serve
preliminary terms upon the great en-
envy now regaining her strength and
retaking her old tone Of defiance; and
the present indications are that within
q very brief time under the terms OF
the new armistice, which permits the
Allies to denounce 1t on three days
notice, a complete set of preliminary
terms will shortly be served upon
Germany.
These terms will compel the disarm-
ament of Germany absolutely. They
will abolish all German hope and agi-
tation for the re-conquest OF Alsace-
Lorraine by preposterous plebiscite.
They will establish the fundamental
principle that the costs Of this war
must be borne by Germany to the last
dollar possible supplemented by pay
ments in kind in coal and in cattle.
Need Definite Action.
It is possible to exaggerate the i'm
portance of this Polish development as
a sign of returning sanity in Paris.
but it is not possible to exaggerate
the necessity for further immediate
and definite action of similar sort II
there is to be real peace.
There was for two months in Paris
a very great tendency to forget all
about Germany. Three months after
Germany surrendered, we have been
still going on from week to week and
month to month permitting Germany
to regain her strength, her courage,
and return to her old pathways, while
Allied morale has been weakening. It
has been discovered at last that it was
not enough to say to the oles: Rise
from the tomb of two centuries of
slavery and become at once a united
nation" when all the forces of Boche
and Bolshevik were combined to pre-
vent this thing; and at last something
has been done for Poland.
But it is fact that cannot be too
frequently emphasized that protrac-
ton of peace negotiations, however
unacceptable. is producing condition
of unrest in the minds of the victori-
Gus nations, leading to weakening
of their strength at precisely the mo-
ment when the German enemy, having
passed through a period of detection
and depression, but finding herself
with her cities undestroyed and her
factories undisturbed, is daily and
hourly improving her morale.
The great hope must be now that,
having finished with the preliminary
draft of the League of Nations, and
having taken clear if short step in
the matter of Poland, the Peace Con-
ference will now pass from the domain
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-02-25

Of Utopia to the area Of Mittel-Europa.
One cannot too frequently emphasize
the fact that Of itself the League Of
Nations is nothing. that words IN q
covenant have no power or force OF
themselves. It the League OF Nations
is group OF countries prepared to
use their collective resources to re
store health to Europe by eliminating
each of the open sores which were
subject nationalities, II the League Of
Nations is an alliance of liberal pow
ers prepared to put the weight of its
artillery as well as its words behind
those small peoples whom 1t Is sum-
moning to national existance, then,
and In that measure 1t is something,
but not otherwise.
Growth> Of Anarchy.
We have discovered clearly that
while 1t is possible to bid. the Bolshe-
viks to go to Principe, and to invite
the Poles to lift themselves by their
boot straps into national existence,
and to bestow falicitous words on the
Czecho-Slovaks. the result is not pro-
gree towards peace. but an ever grow
ing extension of the area Of anarchy.
Outside of Europe, we have recognized
this fact in principle by creating man.
datories for Asia Minor and Central
Africa; but 1t is utter ,absurdity to
create manufactures In Africa and
abandon Poland, Roumania and Jugo-
Slavia to their own fate.
It is perfectly clear that II we Gre
ate Poland of twenty-five to thirty
millions of people, and that il the
weight of the League of Nations Is
sufficient to give that state time to
order itself, time to become country
at once suppressing Bolshevism with
in and REFUSING invasion at its from
tiers, at no distant time one more con-
siderable self-sustaining nation will be
added to the League Of Nations with
so much additional force to aid in ap-
plication of the principles of the
League. But in Poland, in Jugo-Slavia,
perhaps in Bohemia, there will be an
intermediate period between verbal
liberation and actual achievement of
national existence, and in that period
it will require the force of the League
of Nations to protect the new Poland,
and the same is true in many other
countries.
Prime Minister Hughes Of Austria
liza said a true word recently when he
pointed out that the League of Ma
tons cannot delegate to individual
powers the duty of becoming mandate
ries for the respective states which
are to be created at Paris and as the
case of Poland has proved, If the AL
lied powers which are to constitute
the league of Nations are not prepared
to use force, no words will avail. For
three months we have been using
words with the Germans in the matter
of Poland, but only now have we told
them that unless they desisted on
their Eastern frontier we should put
in motion our armies along the Rhine.
Confronted with this statement the
Germans will permit the creation of
Poland, Of Bohemia, but not otherwise.
Will the lesson, too, be lost?

Greece, we shall have automatically

imperialism, both in the direction Of
Russia and in the direction of Asia
Minor.
Show Great Progress.
But all this the Germans saw long
ago. When they had broken down
Russia. they began at once to create
fragments of states and to involve
these fragments Of states In difficul-
ties with each other. They stimulated
the Bolshevik movements against Po-
land, they melted the Ukranians to de-
mand Cholm and Lemberg, and, to the
north, they fomented jealousy between
the Lithuanians and the Poles. In the
meantime, when they had lost the
war and the Allies had mounted guard
upon the Rhine, they transferred their
armies to the eastward and undertook
to attack and crush Poland.
Poland and Bohemia, in the nature
Of things, are practically isolated from
the Allied world. Both have made re-
markable progress in the direction Of
achieving unity and cohesion, but
neither one of them is capable of re-
Stunning national existence without
great and continued protection by the
Western Powers.
The frst task of the League of Ma
lions will not be to organize Asia
Minor, or Africa. It will naturally be
to erect in Europe on a basic of self
determination various Middle-Euro-
pean states which, by expanding and
by becoming strong, will block the
German pathway to world power and
thus, by evolution if by nothing else,
bring the Germans out of their policies
of the past.
To very considerable extent this
gigantic task has been postponed so
far by the Paris conference. We have
sent commissions to Poland, to War
saw. We have sent commissions to
Roumania. Every great problem that
has arisen has resulted in the creation
of commission with inevitable post
ponement of action, and in every one
of these prospective states internal
chaos and external menace have re-
suited.
Prevent German Action.

man threat to invade Poland at once

ABOUT THE STARS
The Great Bear (Continued.)

The present alignment of this no.
table constellation was not always as
we see it at the present time nor will
it always remain as it is today. The
fact is, that the stars in this group,
like all others are constantly under
going change of position. While the
change is so gradual that 1t would not
be preceptible in "a thousand years yet
it is none the less true. Garret +.
Serviss, a prominent astronomer in a
recent publication sets forth chart
of the ''Dipper" as it appeared some
years ago-some tens of thousands;
and another as it will appear many
thousands of years from now. The
reason for this change in alignment
is that Dubhe and Alcaid are ap-
preaching the Solar system at the rate
of sixteen and twelve miles per second
respectively, while the other five are
flying away in the opposite direction
at rates of speed varying from twelve
to nineteen miles per second. and it
therefore follows that in course of
time the Dipper win no longer he Il
dipper, but will resemble something
else. Serviss says a steamer chair.
