Governor Cox War Record.

The limitations and shortcomings OF
the party organ with its narrow appeal
to prejudice are illustrated by the pres
emit embarrassment of Governor Cox
with regard to certain so-called pro
German" editorials which appeared in
his paper in 1915, 1915 and 1917. Gov
ernor Cox has explained that he did
not personally write them, but does
not, as indeed he could not, disclaim re-
sponsibility, One of them printed in

side" and uttered the prayer, God
grant that the next arm lifted to WELD
a sword so foolishly may be paralyzed.
This hardly seems to bear the parti-
san Interpretation put upon it by the
Republican press since, by itself, II
cannot easily be construed as argu-
ment against the later entry OF the
United States into the war TO defend
our national interests.
More capital is perhaps to be made
out of an earlier editorial in Governor
Cox paper ii November, 1915, which
declared that If an allied victory meant

States The files Of Senator Hardings

Conditions changed radically after
these editorials appeared in the Day

and papers might upon search, reveal
statements they would not have cared

the impres ion one now gets Is that

The BARRIERS pole has curious his

surgeons, and practiced the art OF

the patient to hold in his hand in order

round its length, blue representing the

Antwerp, July l5,-Entry lists for

show only Is countries will partici-
pate. Acceptances, however, were ex-
pected from several others, including
France, Norway, Australia, New Zea,
land and Japan. but their lists have
not arrived, either because of mail or
ca bic DELAYS or clerical errors. China,
British India, Jugo Slavia and Mexico
also failed to appear in the list.
It is the general opinion In olympic
circles that the rule calling for the
closing of the entries one month before
the events take place will not be too
closely enforced, as clerical errors have
been frequent and it is known that
mails, particularly those from the far
east. have been greatly delayed. The
nations listed for the athletic contests
are Canada, Chile, Egypt, Denmark,

ALLIES DECLARE PEACE
WITH GERMANY
Only the U. S. is Actively al

Paris, Jan. 12-Rati1cations of
the treaty of Versailles were exchang-
ed, and peace between Germany,
France, Great Britain and the other
allied and associated powers with the
exception of the United States, be-
came effective Saturday afternoon.
There were eleventh-hour rumors of
ii further postponement, but these
proved to be groundless.
The outstanding comment on the
ceremony is that it leaves the United
States the only power which was ac-
lively at war with Germany not now
on a peace basis That was the note
sounded by Baron Kurt Won Lersner,
head of the German peace delegation,
in a statement to the press Immediate
~ after the ceremony.
Il am naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective" Baron
vonLersner said. MY great regret
is that the United States is the only
country with which Germany is still
in a state of war. hope. however,
that this situation will soon be chang
ed.
Execution of the treaty of Versail-
les imposes upon Germany the heavi-
est sacrifices ever borne by nation
in modern times. We lost in the west
and in the east of territories that be-
longed to Prussia for many centuries.
We have assumed enormous economic
obligations. Nevertheless, L am glad
that peace is at last re-established
because it will give back to Germany
her beloved sons still prisoners
abroad"
of the treaty, Baron Won Lersner de-
clared that Germany was ready and
determined to do her utmost.
