themselves in a sad state when
British influence supports the Jugo
Slavs in the Adriatic and the Greeks
in the Egcan. Poland pursues a
war against Russia with French ap-
proval and British condemnation.
Central Europe, the old Hapsburg
empire, has become "No Mans
Land" a menace to peace and fes-
tering sore as plainly as was Italy,
equally cut to pieces at the Congress
of Vienna.
Old Process Resumed
And the process which followed
tho Congress of Vienna has already
set in once more, alike in big states
and little states. The decisions of
Paris are being amended as were
those of Vienna. Poland has re-
jected the impossible frontiers I'M
posed upon her, as the Belgians
threw off the Dutch yoke placed upon
their necks at the Austrian capital
The real trouble in the world TO-
day comes primarily from the fact
that before the Paris Conference the
promises were so large. 1t was as
serted that firm foundation was
to be laid for a new system in which
war would be impossible. Exactly
this was promised before Vienna,
and believed. Nations were to be
furnished with just frontiers, no
ranking sores were to be left. Ma
tionality was to be recognized. You
can find every promise made for
Paris in the program Of Vienna.
But Vienna could not cope with
the nationalism which the twenty
years Of war had stirred-did not
understand tin any effective fash
ion, and it's DEGREES fell to dust and
ashes as these fires of nationalism
burned up ever more fiercely in Ger
many, in Italy, in Greece, in the
Balkans. Every decision made at
Vienna had in reality become a dead
letter almost with the first effort to
apply it. Each decision required
force to apply it, but the nations
which should jointly have supplied
the force promptly fell into dispute
themselves, or, like the British,
solemnly repudiated the obligation
New-York tribune., 1920-07-04
Now That the Big Peril Is Past the
Nations Are Returning to Their
Private Ambitions

to furnish force, as we have done in
our turn.
Invariably in the case Of gen.
eral war, like that against the
France Of Napoleon or the Germany
Of William II, the great peril tends
to bring nations into very close re-
lations. In the progress Of the con-
fiict this union deceives both the
members and the world in general
into the belief that it carries with
it the promise of some permanent
confederation, some world organiza-
ton. But no sooner has the origi-
nal purpose Of the union been at
tanned than it falls to pieces like
a house Of cardboard, chiefly because
no common interest remains to hold
the former partners.
Moreover, in the course of the
war and under the strain of bitter
necessity, all nations give voice to
romantic and idealistic purposes.
They have been forced into alliance
to preserve their own lives; and lack
of fidelity to the common task may
mean personal as well as general
ruin. And the longer the war lasts
and the harder the strain the more
romantic and idealistic become the
pronouncements of all statesmen.
The Real Purpose
But, despite all, the fact remains
that the alliance was made solely
to defeat the common enemy. and.
the common enemy defeated, the al
lance has no further basis in fact.
The Frenchman, the Italian, the
Englishman, with equal earnestness
fight to defeat the German, who
threatens their very life, but, the
German defeated, the Frenchman.
the Italian and the Englishman re-
sumo their old individualities and
their old rivalries.

Theodore Roosevelt also made this

A Wife's Memories

In her volume "In White
Armor" Mrs. Arthur Ellis Hamm,
wife of Captain Arthur Ellis Hamm,
Of New York, who was killed in
action on the Lorraine front, on
September ID, writes at one point:
ut seems to ME now that for every
situation that could arise in my
life have some dear word If his

New-York tribune., 1920-07-04


and women who had lived
in the Manhattan Hotel
for years when they were told that
tho building would be taken over by a
business concern and they, the resi-
dents, would have to move.
"l'll have to make my funeral ar
fangements all over again." one el
DERBY man told the manager. 81
thought I should live here until nv
death and had made all the plans
Tor my funeral from the Manhattan.
Now everything will have to be
changed" And he joined the little
groups Of other residents who
swarmad the lobby on the morning
after the news had been broken to
them.
Women went, men walked up and
down looking at the elaborate marble
stairway and the big fireplace in
the lobby with reminiscent eyes.
The Old Home Gone
Some of the "guests," who had
lived in the hotel so long that that
stock phrase for hotel tenants had
become doubly an anachronism, were
even threatening in their despair.
The Manhattan had come to be their
home; they felt almost proprietary
interest in it. 1t could not be taken
away from them. Sold over their
heads! The farmer turned out by
the wicked holder Of the mortgage
had no grief so strong as theirs.
Whereas he had been expecting the
dispossess notice for years, these city
hotel dwellers were hit unexpectedly
with the misfortune of losing their
home.
81 don't know how to find a place
to live" said one woman. GAIL this
that you read about the housing
shortage frightens me. What shall
I do?"
And it was true that many Of the
people who lived at the Manhattan
knew absolutely nothing about how
sto find place to live. Many of
them had gone there when their
homes were sold and had never
known anything about house or
apartment hunting. No other hotel
could be the same because no other
hotel had tne atmosphere. To ven.
ture into a strange hotel would not
be like going to live at the Manhat-
tan. It would lack the tradition,
The standing that go to"make up
ones attachment to home place.
One Hundred Families Out
More than 100 families have had
to seek other places to live in these
parlous times for house hunters by
the leasing of the hotel by the Ma
tional City Company. Some have
already made arrangements to 60
TO other hotels. But large number
are still at sea. They have, Of
course, taken temporary residences,
for the hotel closed Thursday. Some
of them have planned to move out
Of New York. Manhattan without
the Manhattan will never be New
York to them again.
Wednesday was the last night
residents spent in their hotel home.

of the Manhattan, said

America and Britain are equally un
sympathetic when it comes TO Finn.
France for her part finds her recent
allies, all of them, supporting Ger
many in matters Of indemnity an;
opposing France in matters of g.
curity. The British newspapers ar.
filled with criticisms Of French chan
vinism; the Italians denounce ths
French with greater bitterness and
find no kind words for Britain or Fl,
United States. The French hold
themselves abandoned by their allies
despite their disproportionate con.
tribution to the common victory.
Not a New Calamity
And so, what was an alliance dis.
integrates day by day and week by
week; the recent partners become
not alone rivals but bitter opponents
And to Americans, little familiar
with European history, this seems
new and inexplicable CALAMITY.
Calamity it may be, but new, mex.
plicable, it certainly is not. Rather
it is one more demonstration Of the
little progress made by all ideas Of
internationalism. The League Of
Nations was, in its essence, interna.
tionalism guaranteed by nationalistic
states. And in the first crisis at
Paris the individual nationalism Of
the guarantors clashed and the
whole magnificent plan crumbled, ex-
actly as the Holy Alliance crumbled
before it.
If the past is a fair forecast Of
the future, what is to come is not
new world war, not an immediate
repetition Of the division of Europe
into alliances, such as existed before
the recent struggle, but rather q
series Of quarrels and clashes be-
tween nations, such as followed the
disintegration of the alliance which
conquered Napoleon. The clash be-
tween the Poles and the Russians is
a fair example of this. The ever
present threat of war between the
Jugo- -Slavs and the Italians is an
other. The Italian trouble in Alba
MIA is like the French experience in
Algeria.
