Let 8 Be Fair
To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your editorial "Article ks
Funeral" you say: "The world is to be
frozen into the form that four gentle
men, sitting in secret conclave in Paris
IN 1919, had adjudged proper" Let's be
fair. Mr.. Paul D. Cravath, speaking at
the Symphony Hall here, in Boston, de-
clared that France did not want Ar
t.c!e x, neither did England Both
were coerccd or ajoled into acceptinp
it.
Article X, az Mr.. Cravath showed. is
purely Wilson measure. To quote
the speakers own words, "Mr. Wilson
did not bring Article X from Paris; he
took 1t there" The speaker then traced
Article x to its source and showed
now, almost in its exact wording it
was embodied in Mr.. Wilson's speech
at the orening of the Panama Canal.
70 repeat, France did not want IT,.
England did not want it; America,
through its representatives in the Sen
ate, declared against it; so that we have
the spectacle of one man setting himself
against the best brains and wisdom of
the world. Could egotism, autocracv
rlcgalomania go further?

Neighborly Cruelty

Great cities are heartless, as every
rural melodrama has indicated; but
for cold, concentrated cruelty give US
the small town every time. What
has been happening at Newcastle,
Pa, in the steel district, might hap
pen, we fear, in most spots of SINH
lar size, neighborliness and sup
posedly Christian sentiments.
There may be additional, not print
ed, reasons why the good folk of New
castle turned their thumbs down in
The case of young Mrs. Ada McIn-
tyre, who fell from grace by going on
a JOY ride. There always are plenty Of
reasons for damning any one if you
are in the damning business. The
difficulty is in comprehending why
any one, especially Christian min
lster should have continued the de-
nunciation and ordered the damna
ton made permanent (in so far as
~AAS community vi NtWCdSLlG was
concerned) after Mrs. Mcintyre had
publicly pleaded for mercy and for
glvencss and chance to start anew.
The spectacle of Mrs. McIntyre at
her own church, denounced from the
pulpit by her own pastor, is ore of
those ugly human episodes that make
one wonder why the human race con-
siders itself civilized.
We think our missionaries to tho
heather might find it advantageous
to the faith to spare little time for
Newcastle-and this clergyman in
Particular. (There is the best of
authority for regarding the tortur-
ing OF a woman, however sinful. as
an un-Christian sport.) And all the
rest OF us might find it advantageous
to be little less cocksure of our ma
tlcnal preeminence and virtue-in
comparison with the Spaniards. for
example, who to cur profound horror
are actually guilty Of torturing bulls
and horses.

The Threefod Polish Claim,

Now. the Polish claim to Wilma is
ihreefold. Hirtorcaly. Wilma was Po-
l'sh until the Ehal partition of Poland
IN 1875, and it had been a part of the
Polish monarchy for many centuries.
EthnicRlly. it is Polish, since the ma
jority of its inhabitants are and have
been Polish as far back as the. memory
of man runneth. Finally, strategically,
it is the key to Polish defense. and, in
Lithuanian hands, it has recently been
used by the Russian enemy with very
disastrous effocts for the Poles.
Against this threefoid argument

A Most Important Rail Center

glance at the map shows that
Wilma is the most important railway
center IN the northeast of Europe.
Through it pass the main lines of rail-
way connecting Warsaw with Petrograd
and Berlin with Moscow, while from it
diverges southwark that lateral rail
way which is the main detail in Po-
llsh frontier defense. All of this rail
way has been turned over to the Poles
by the Russians, who have retired east
ward of line drawn from the Dvina
a Drissa to the Xbrucz, at the old
Austro- Russian frontier. In any later
Russo Polish wars Wilma must neces-
sarily be the point of departure for an
invasion of Poland, exactly as it was
the basis for the last Moreover. so
long as the Poles hold Wilma. they
cut direct rail communication between
the Russians and the Germans, their
hereditary enemies.
Were Lithuania f~.s idly to Poland
tie situation would To modified. but at
the present moment the Lithuanians
are in arms against the Poles. They
permitted the Russians, in their re-
cent advance to the gates of Warsaw,
to make use of Lithuanian territory
end they assisted them both in their
advance and in their retreat. Further
than this, they took advantage of the
Russian advance, which ousted the
Poles from Wilma, to plunder and abuse
the Polish majority in the population
of this city

Vilna-The Fiun7e of the North
BY Franz H. Simonds

The resemblance Of the Wilma cpl
sode to that of the Fiume coup natu-
rally directs attention at once to the
similarity of conditions which invited
the ventures of d'Annunzio and of
Zellgouski. More than this, it calls
attention to the extreme difficulty of ap-
plying that doctrine of. self-determna-
ton, SO glibly cited by the sentimental
in recent months.
Wilma is a Polish city in a Lithu-
anian countryside, exactly as Fiume is
Latin town in a Slav region. If one
apply to Wilma the principle employed
in the case of Danzig, Wilma would un-
mistakably be permitted to become a
separate entity, whatever its relation
to surrounding states. Precisely as
there is no question as to the fact that
majority of the inhabitants of Fiume
are Italian, and q Majority of the in
hobitants of Danzig German, there is
no dispute IS to the essential Polish
character of an overwhelming majority
Of the people of the City of Wilma.
NOW, IN the case of Fiume, the Italian
argument was primarily that supplied
by the appeal to the ethnic circum
stance. The second was based upon
the menace for Italy of a Slav state
established on the eastern shore of the
Adrlatic, state manifestly hostile,
which in the recent war had supplied
through the Austrian and Magyar prov
inces of the old Hapsburg monarchy.
the bulk of the troops who had fought
Italian armies at the Carso and along
the Isonzo. What are the circum-
stances of Wilma?

Lawyer-Politican to Head
Greatest Rum-Running
Conspiracy Since Pro-

BRIBE OF $4,000 OF.

Cleveland, Aug. "A $25,OOO,-
Coo whiskey ring, with ramifica-
tlons extending from Kentucky,
Pennsylvania and Ohia to New
York and other Atlantic coast
cities, has been uncovered by Fed
eral officers here. The government
acthorlties promise to expose a
great blockade-running combine,
lnvllving several prominent O.
hioans.
The names of these men, inc1u-
ding that Of a candidate for a
State office in the last Ohio elec-
tions, are to be made public when
a special Grand Jury is called
next month The case is to centre
about Cleveland lawyer-politi-
elan, declared to have offered a
$4,000 bribe to an enforcement
offlcert for permission to ship
Whlskey through Cleveland to
New York and other coast cities.
Cleveland money and brains
are the backbone of the most OIL
gantic whiskey conspiracy since
prohibition became effective. -
John H. Person, special internal
revenue Inspector, declared.
1t is estimated by government
officials that since January 16,
hen the Is amendment ent into
effect, more than 100000
worth Of whiskey has been taken
from bonded Warehouses in Ken
tccky, Pennsylvania and elsewhere
by means Of fake permits and BIZ
theft. Much of this has been dis
posed of through the Cleveland
clique. Blockade-runners and their
backers in Pittsburgh and other
cities are involved.
The most important link in the
Governments s chain Of evidence
against the whiskey ring is repor
ted to be the lawyer-politician
who is said to have offered Pro
hibition Agent Counts $4,000 Off
safe passage of large quantities of
whiskey through his district.

that the products of the farm, raw

Washington, D. c., August 81.
i theory that men addicted

come eand y eaters since the ad-
vent Of prohibition is not based
on facts, said Walter G.. Hughes,
Secretary Of the National Con-
fectioners' Association.
The statement is made in a let
ter to Thomas Quinn Beesley,
Assistant to the American Execu-
tive Committee Of the 18th Inter
national Congress Against Alco-
holism The Congress is a scien-
Itific body and Mr.. Hughes state
.ment is in reply to request for
Iadvance information to present
TO the Congress- during the con
vention on September 21-26.
"While [ believe that Prohibi-
ton has been a benefit to the Con
fectlonery Industry, [ do not be-
Ieve that the industry has been
benefited proportionately any
more than a number Of industries
have been benefited.
In point Of benefits the indus
try has received, we believe Con

II think it is an unanswerable
argument that some industries
have, been benefited, but the the
ory advanced that men addicted
to the use Of alcohol have become
candy eaters since the advent of
| Prohibition is based entirely upon
the wrong premises and is not
logical. More candy is being con
sumed because the people have
more money to spend, not alone
for candy but for everything else
they want that adds to their com
