compromise agreement by which Eng

of Great Britain, and Millerand of
France, drafted the reply to the Amer

Slavia must agree to the compromise,
with the alternative Of seeing the
treaty of London become operative, it
is said.
At the same time the premiers' re-

Sharp bidding on these six vessels
followed between General Goethals and
Mr. Franklin, the offers going up in
100000 and 100000 jumps.
Mr.. Franklin and General Goethals
hurled increases of 100000 and $780,

thaIs' original offer of s10,000,000 had
been raised by Mr.. Franklin to $13.-
500, 900.
General GoethaIs said s13 100000
was the limit to which he was au-
thorized to go.
A condition of Mr.. Franklin's bid for
the six vessels of the Hamburg
Bremen service would require the
shipping board to recondition the
Martha Washington and the Callao.
Commissioner Scott, who conducted
the auction, said the repairs on the
Martha Washington would amount to

Mr.. Franklin also asked that the
board agree not to compete with these
vessels in this service, but Commits
sioner Scott said the board could not
give definite assurance and that the
bidders would have to trust to the
government sense of fair play.

Maintaining American Prestige.

Senator Sherman introduced resolution
urging the peace conference to chase Turks out
of Constantinople and end Turkish domino
ton over Christians everywhere. He forgot,
apparently. that the United States is not in very
good position just now to impose its will upon
the allies in connection with Turkey. or any
thing else, and no one has done more to weak
en- its influence than the senior member of the
senate from Illinois. 1t is a trife inconsistent
for one who refuses to recognize much of any
thing the peace conference has done to offer
recommendations as to what it shall do If
hostile members of the senate had given more
time to consistent cooperation and less to hunt
ing for dent in the peace treaty deep enough
to hang presidential campaign upon it would
be whole lot easier to deal not only with Tur-
key, but with Russia and Germany as we'll.

Holding Down Junkerism.

Division among the allies and hesitancy of
the United States to go through with its part
in the restoration of peace without doubt helped
to bring about an earlier autocratic reaction in
Germany than would have taken place in the
ordinary course Of events. When the allies de-
manded German war offenders for trial they
made serious mistake. Failure later to insist
upon the point, as we'll as other concessions
they made, were taken as evidences of weak
ness, instead of disposition to do Justice
German arrogance instantly manifested itself
in various ways. Berlin began sending saucy
notes and German citizens began attacking
members of allied missions in German cities
Convinced that the allies were no longer in
shape to take drastic action the old rulers of
Germany decided that the time had come to
reassert themselves SO as to be ready to take
advantage of the many opportunities for them
which international politics at present affords.
The junker class of Germany is too deeply
rooted and too hardy to perish because a few
branches are Topped off. The ak will have to
be used close to the ground and the sprouts
cut back for good many years to make Ger
many safe for democracy If the liberals OF
the country prove unequal to the task then
the United States and its allies sooper or later
will have to return to the Job.

the delay should have been game enough to

ticular districts in public undertakings than It

Of owners on Twentieth street have submitted
without complaint to being assessed much more
heavily in proportion to their means In order
that municipal progress might not be checked.
Not the least regrettable aspect of the present
situation is the effect that yielding to the pro-
test on Twentieth will have on other improve
ments equally desirable. II this petition is
granted it will mean. practically, the stopping
OF all paving in the city this season, for the
price objection raised there will hold with
equal force elsewhere.
This brings up again the subject OF mate
rails. 1t is a question whether it would not
have been wiser for the owners on Twentieth,
even as late as this spring, to have agreed
upon asphalt in place Of brick and ended the
wrangle. 1t is true that Rock Island has had
some poor asphalt but it also has some good
pavement of the same material few fail
ures should not serve to finally condemn as
phalt when it is known that if it is up to
standard and we'll laid it makes one OF the best
surfaces to be had and at cost that is not
excessive. Experience of other cities also
bears this out Asphalt of course, must have
care and prompt attention when it begins to
wear out. In order to provide this the city
administration is understood to be planning
to provide plant of its own to be used in fill
ing holes and resurfacing, assuring much more
satisfactory results than heretofore have been
the rule here.
1t is barely possible that Twentieth street
owners may yet get together on asphalt, and
so make a much needed improvement and solve
vexing question which involves the whole
street improvement program Of Rock Island
for this year.

PER SONETTE
f. Haldeman Julius,
BY Niksah.

1t is the plant of E. Haldeman
julius. editor of the Appeal to Rea-
son, that he is so radical that the
conservatives don't like him, and
SO conservative that the radicals
don't like him. But he isn't really
as friendless as this sounds, be-
cause he is the kind of man who
can say clever things impromptu,
and everybody likes rarity like
that. He lives in Girard, Kan, and
besides editing the aforementioned
paper, he manages a large farm,
raises hogs and Holsteins, not in
culcating the cows with such radi-
cal principles that they ever go on
milk strikes. but allowing the hogs
absolutely free speech.
When asked how he liked living
in a prohibition state he launched
into the following discourse: MY
only objection to prohibition is that
it prohibits. That is, | object to
the principle of it, but approve of
the common sense. Not that COM
mon sense is always desirable. In
fact in a world like this, where most
Of the joys Of life might be regarded
as folly, there is something to be
said for the theory that it is more
sensible to be foolish than it is to
be sensible.
However, now that strong drink
has gone, and tobacco is going fast,
we shall soon think up some other
way to be fools. The human race
is incurably human in this respect.
The thing for US to do now is to
discover a harmless vice. In fact
it is such an urgent need in the
life OF the American people at pres
ent that l am thinking of advertis-
ing a large reward in my columns
for anyone who can suggest an alb
solutely innocuous form of recrea-
ton which will still make the PAR
ticipant therein feel pleasantly
wicked.
