Editorial Comment
The Lost Peace
(New York Tribune Rem

(New York Tribune. Rep.)
President Wilson's ideas bear about
the same relation to ideals as the
doggerel of poetaster does to poe
try. To enforce peace there must he
force. This detail was overlooked
Force meant an Indignation of power
an alliance among the nations
which won the war and must safe
guard the peace if safeguarded. In
stead of experimenting this simple
truth. the effect of the Presidents
course was to destroy harmony and
to introduce discord
Those who were consciously or un-
consciously pro-German or pro-
Bolshevik said an alliance would re-
establish the wicked balance Of pow
er principle. Not so; it would have
created a preponderance Of power.
Indeed, the Presidents policy
makes a return to balance Of power
principles almost inevitable. Signs
multiply of new grouping of ma
tions. One can foresee a triple alli-
ance Of Germany, Russia and Hun
gary-Austria. with border states
forced to adhere through the pres
sure of their powerful neighbors.
Over against this coalition France,
Great Britain and Italy will be forced
to unite.
The only shred Of any genuine
league to enforce peace is in the An
glo- French American treaty, which
the President takes no interest in
having ratified. For the covenant
league. so diverse in its constituents
and so lacking in power, will obvi-
ously be merely a talking organiza-
ton, a unanimous agreement or
ganization. such as was the Hague
league.
So the war was won, but so far as
concerned providing any marked ad-
vance in the organization of the
world the peace was lost. 1t was
lost chiefly because the President
did not know how to attain the OBJ
jective he had in mind and would
not let anyone tell him. This is the
big lesson Of the FtuDe quarrel.

Maine GOSSIP
Snow Squalls


(J. r. Reeves. Windscr.)
I am sitting tonight by the 6reside
In the light of the embers glow.
And listening to the storm without
And the swirl Of drifting snow.
I am dreaming-not Of bygone years.
Or of faces / used to know.
But Of how We must dig tomorrow
Through the huge white drifts 81
We have dug canals for a fortnight,
And our feet are getting slow,
With the seemingly endless tramping
Through yard or more of snow.
We scarce get a tunnel completed,
So the mail man has a show,
When the stor1n-king drops some more
cold stuff
And bark: how the cold winds blow.
Full three-score winters and then some
more
We have tramped these roads of
snow;
But never were they impossible
For so long a time, we know.
Now we think Of the days not far away,
When these crystals white must go,
And sigh for q bit of mud and sluSh,
When it's 50 or more below.

tinguished Attorney General Palmer

miles describing the wickedness and
the need Of punishment. So much
for the boasting.
Now for the reality. the awful
reality!

supposed to exist, out Of all the sup
