After the opening speeches, the lid Of
secrecy was clamped down tight on the
sessions Of the council of the league OF ma
lions now sitting in London Newspaper
correspondents were excluded along with all
others not having direct personal part in
the deliberations With them they complain,
went the promise Of open covenants openly
arrived at So much for America not being
represented in the meeting. Pre-war secret
diplomacy, therefore, is in the saddle again,
and doubtless time will be lost by the
council in working out vitality important
territorial and other problems arising from
war and peace under the old form OF division
and silence" without the voice of America
being heard in the settlement.

SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARMER
Didja Ever.

When l was kid In grocery store
earned q dollar every week or more
Sometimes week. sometimes ten days,
And 1t never hit my noodle to request a raise.
But used to save two bite of that,
And every and then I'd buy mysc1f a hat
Or pair OF shoes but, I'll swear, somehow
I never save nickel from dollar now
Whom was youth il my twenties say, A.
They used 20 pack twenty In my weekly pay:
When I'd paid my board ! could ride tho tank
And then have something over for tho savings
bank.
1t wasn't any trick to hire team
And take my girl out riding and buy Ice cream;
But twenty today won't cover much ground
When you're riding in taxi while the wheels
go round.
Five years ago, just before the war.
There were articles n nickel was invented for;
And boy could enjoy right good time
BY discretion in selection with 10-cent dime.
But r Kid these days, if you offer him a. half.
Will howl with disappointment il he doesn't
laugh;
And can't help wishing for tho day once more
When drew my honest dollar at the grocery
store.

General Maurice, tho ablest of British
military critics, opposes the demand for the
extradition of German generals for trial be-
fore an allied court for crimes alleged to
have been committed during the war. When
men like Maurice take such stand in OPP
position, 1t is obvious that the objections are
not of merely sentimental sort nor in

. The word reasonable" as used by Governor
Davis In his address to the Assembly bearing
on possible appropriation for the Prohibit
ton department, is capable of wide def
uition, depending the manner in which
the facts are interpreted and applied. But
IN face Of the facts that have been brought
out in the legislative hearing and which have
established beyond need of further proof
laIity and incompetency in the commits
sioner's ofhc-, an annual appropriation of
$50, 900 certainly is unreasonable and will
be so held by the Governor. who may be ex-
pected TO exercise his power of veto should
the Assembly persist in fixing this amount
One hundred thousand dollars, in the pres
ent condition OF the public finances, ie an e1-
aorbitant price to pay for the maintenance for
another two years OF department in which
the reign OF ineficiency is only mildly dis

8rided, but the figure decided on will have to
