How you yeach upward FOR the prize

The Old Cleavage Again

comment OIL TXSlICu luSlStS44S0
that the Treaty Of Versailles may
not be regarded by Germany as q
scrap of paper divides on familiar
lines. The cleavage which was evil
dent during the pre-war period,
which was not completely obliterated
while the United States was at war.
and which burst open as soon as the
armistice was signed and grew
wider during the peace negotiations,
loses no opportunity to manifest
itself. The French advance gives
those who are always sure the OPP
ponents Of Germany are wrong, even
though they prudently do not care to
contend Germany Is right, another
unneglected chance to express them
selves.
Before the war impulses Of this
sort centered in the advocacy Of a
policy Of neutrality and of non-con-
Germ with the European conflict
which worked always to Germany's
benefit. Americans with such views
desired in their hearts peace
without victory" in bringing about
which the United States might per-
haps perform the part Of an impair
tial referee. They could not bear
to admit that the Entente was def
nitely in the right and Germany
definitely in the wrong. They re-
served to themselves the privilege Of
distressing the motives Of the En-
tente powers and disparaging the
claim that these powers were fight
ing intellectually the battle of
democratic freedom and Western
civilization.
When we entered the war we be-
came technically only an associate
not an ally. That distinction i'm
piled that it was still hoped to avoid
being anti-Germau and pro-Entente.
This attitude, which grew like
Jonah's gourd when hostilities
ceased, fully emerged at the peace
conference and greatly hindered the
work Of making peace. In the
Fiume controversy it brought the
United States into an unnecessary
and damaging conflict with Italy
and in Russian affairs contributed tx
Bolshevist victory.
The Allied unity created by the
war might nave been preserved ir
the negotiations and enforcement Of
peace. 1t wasn't preserved largely
because of the critical role played b,
our representatives at Paris toware
our war associates. Now the ole
pre-war and postwar habits o.
thought continue to dominate a
Washington. And the old neutral
list and "peace without victory" ele
ments unite in criticizing France
for trying, single-handed, to enforc'
German respect for the treaty.
Frances occupation Of Frankfor
and the other neutral zone cite
rests on treaty sanctions. Yet it i
pictured here as "a more seriou
menace to the peace of Europe" thai
the sending of German troops int
the Ruhr district, the latter ste
being a direct and deliberate viola
ton of the treaty. The ancient ten
derness for German interests is re
wing in many quarters. German
may nullify the treaty and escap
criticism. But France Is assaiied TO
standing by the treaty. 1t is onl
seventeen months since the armistic
was signed. Yet many American
seem again to be in the grip Of tn
pro-German delusion. A man tell
what he thinks by tho direction o

Sir: Speaking of Sir Arthur Sullivan. you
may have missed interview with Mr
Jerome Kern, printed in The Sunday Tribune
last year. wherein he said he thought It was
harder to write the music for the Ziexfeld
Follies than the Sullivan operettas. OF
course. people go to the Follies to look for
new scnsations-in music. For example,
My Baby's Arms" from the 1919 Folhes
was taken straight from "Oh a South Sea
ISLE which Melville Ellis and Irene Bordoni
used In 1916.
AS for Mr.. Kern's own music, to say that
any one of his own scores Is away ahead Of
any one Of the Follies would be faint praise
Indeed. I like especially his 1.-THE First Rose
of Summer" from "She's Good Fellow"

DICK MORRIS IS
SERIOUSLY SHOT
Negro Undertaken Shot Three
Times at A and Belmont
Early This Morning.

Dick Morris, negro undertaken, was
dangerously and probably fatally
wounded early this morning when he
was shot three times through the
stomach. The shooting occurred at A
and Belmont-sts. Ed. Smith, negro
policeman at the navy yard, was held
for investigation in connection with
the shooting.
According to statements made by
Morris following the shooting, and by
witnesses who We're within short
distance, Morris was walking down
Belmont when someone stepped from
behind the corner of the store and
opened fire with a pistol, firing four
or five times at short range. Morris
fell and the assailant ran. Three Of
the bullets struck Morris, each taking
effect in the stomach.
Street Car Conductor L. d. Herring,
who was standing near by, saw the as
sailant open fire and when he ran took
after him. The conductor chased him
about block and half when he lost
sight of the assailant. Mr.. Herring
was conducted on the last car from
the navy yard, and said that Smith
came to the city on his car. Accord
ing to the police, Mr.. Herring said
that the man who did the shooting
resembled Smith. A woman witness
of the shooting also stated to the TO-
lice that the man who did the shoot
ing answered Smiths description. Dick
Morris stated to the police that Smith
was the one who fired the pistol at
him.
Smith was later arrested at his
home on North Devillier, By Lieut.
Mcclure, accompanied by Mr.. Kelly.
At the station, Smith denied firing the
pistol and dened knowing anything
of the shooting.

COTTON PRICES

the market broke again selling off TO

of five to % points.
The market opened easy at a de-
cline OF 35 TO so points owing to weak
Liverpool cables, the more threaten

continued good weather south and re-

much less active than recently, how
ever, while the price of 20 cents for
December seemed to attract an active
demand which included investment
and trade buying as well as heavy
profit taking on short contracts.
Prices rallied in consequence and the
advance seemed to be stimulated by
reports that the federal reserve board
was considering measures for making
credits more easily available TO farm

selling suggested that holding was
becoming more general in the south.
October was slow to follow the ad-
