DEMOCRATS CHOOSE
SAN FRANCISCO AS
CONVENTION CITY.
Committee at Meeting in
Washington Fixes June
2S for Date.
Herald Bureau.
No. ,JO2 II street, y. W..
Washin gtOn, ID. G., THURSDAY.

San Francisco was selected today as the
place of the next Democratic national con-
vention, and Monday, June IS. was fixed
as the date by the Democratic National
Committee at its meeting at the Shorehau
Hotel.
Francisco p, Kansas City, Mo, II, Chicago
national committeeman from Illinois, the
selection of San Francisco was then made
unanimous.
For the first time in history a national
political convention Of one of the great
parties will be held on the Pacific coast.
The selection came after a spirited contest
between delegations representing San
Francisco and Kansas City.
AS the Republican national convention
will begin in Chicago on June s, and last
several days, there will be about two weeks
between the two great national nominal
ing conventions.
San Fran cisco won out, after Isidore b.
lDockweiler national committeeman from
California, had presented a certified check
for 10000 and a written pledge Of $1,000
more to defray the expenses of the con-
vention He pledged the free use of a new
auditorium. with a seating capacity OF
900, and normal hotel rates.
The offer of Kansas City was maxi
mum cash fund OF $4,000 and the free use
lof new auditorium. Chicago offered
s75. 900 less the rental of the Auditorium,
estimated at $4,000.
Another appeal made i'm behalf of San
Francisco was that California deserved
the convention this year. because it had
given the necessary ELECTORAL votes TO put
President Wilson in the White House for
a second term in the remarkably close
contest of 1916.

treaty and formal ratifications will soon
be exchanged. The question Is whether
this country will enter and enter whole
heartedly. If 1t does not do so, the United
States and Germany will play lone hand
in the world.
THE maintenance of the peace of the
world and the effective execution of the
treaty depend upon the wholehearted par
ticpation of the United States. | am not
stating it as n matter of power The point
Is that the United States is the only ma
ton which has sufficient moral force with
the rest of the world to guarantee the
substitution of discussion for war. II we
keep out of this agreement. If we do not
give our guarantees, then another attempt
will be made to crush the new nations of
Europe.
81 do not believe that this is
what the people of this country wish
or will be satisfied with. Personally,
do not accept the action of the Sem
ate of the United States as the de-
cision of the nation.
II have asserted from the first that the
overwhelming majority of the people OF
this country desire the ratification of the
treaty. and my impression TO that effect
has recently been confirmed by the un-
mistakable evidences of public opinion

plain that if the Senate wishes to say what

self But when the treaty is acted upon
/ must know whether it means that we
have ratified or rejected it. We cannot
rewrite this treaty. We must take II
without changes which alter its meaning
or leave it, and then. after the rest of the
world has signed 1t, we must face the
unthinkable task of making another and
separate kind of treaty with Germany.
But no mere assertions with regard to the
wish and opinion of the country are
credited.
Referendum Proposed.
eff there is any doubt as to what
the people of the country thank on
this vital matter, the clear and single
way out is to submit it for deter

election the form of great and
solemn referendum, referendum
as to the part the United States is
to play in completing the settle
ments Of the war and in the preven-
ton in the future Of such outrages

trate."
I'VE have no more moral right to refuse
now to take part in the execution and
administration of these settlements than
we had to refuse to take part in the fight
ing. of the last few weeks of the war
which brought victor and made it pos
sible to dictate to Germany what the

the whole future Of mlnkind. 1t will be
heartening to the Wide world to know
the attitude and purposs of the people of
the United States.
II spoke just now of the spiritual

Of International affairs. But there is an

CLIPPED LOCKS CALLED FOR
Present Day EmphaticalIy No Time
for Anything Approaching Eff
feminancy In the Male.

A British brigadier general and for
mer Etonian was recently invited to
visit his old school and inspect the
officers training camp that institution
maintains. The officer was delighted
with the bearing of the 600 and moro
young officers of the future and praised
them till their necks grew pink with
suppressed pride, but-in concluding
his remarks the general spoiled it all
by the direst of criticisms-"Their
hair was too long!"
1t was wrong, he said, for a Brlt0n
to allow his hair to grow so long that
he could not see to fight. General
Corkern-that was his name-then
went into detail and said he had seen
a number of the college boxers in set
tos the previous evening and many of
them appeared in the ring with long
locks neatly plastered back from noble
brows. After the first round. however,
| the spectacle was different, since the
boys looked out as well as possible
through a smoke barrage Of dank,
stringy locks that cut off their own
| view but did not in the least hinder
the enemy's attack. "Cut 'em short,
boysp' was his injunction.
Regardless of peace assurances from
the League of Nations, Britain is de-
termined not to sink back into military
unpreparedness, and if the generals
criticism may be taken in a wider
sense the entire island must keep its
locks close trimmed and not again be
blinded by vanity and dissatisfaction
to what is going on in neighboring
countries.
Long hair may be esthetic and may
prove attractive to the opposite sex
through contrast, since the ladies
themselves are going In for short hair
and self-determination, but the time
for luxury and long male locks has
not yet come, even IL there has been
a momentary let-down of masculine
morale following the cessation of &c.
tual hostilities.
We have seen as yet no symptoms
of Ionghairedness among our own
American youth, and trust we may
not do SO, especially since, although
1t is definitely over rel there, 1t is
by no means done on this side Of the
Atlantic. The readjustment, unless all
signs fail, is going to require quite as
clear and close-cropped polls as did
the conquest Of the Hun.
On the other hand, it must be re-
membered that longhairedness is en-
blematic Of anarchy and bolshevism
and of those Missionaries who out of
their fringed locks see society as
through a glass, darkly. Therefore II
Is doubly necessary for u young
manhood to give its eyesight free play,

All ~gentlewomen will welcome the
return of simple dresses and blouses,
beautifully made and adorned with old

finement about them not exceeded by
even the sheerest silk weaves. and the
crispness Of organdy makes possible

Victor Hugo as a craftsman has not
hitherto been known to the world.
But the time has come, owing to an
enterprising editor, when the admirers
of Hugo as a poet, novelist, and writer
of plays will have an opportunity Of
enjoying him as an expert with the
pencil. Two large collections Of the
Victor Hugo drawings are announced
as appearing in album form, and al
ready there are clamors for everything
the master ever did with his pencil.
1t is to be expected that the drawings
will throw some interesting sidelights
on many Of the novels and poems.
