Your ridiculous Editorial in last Eve

many would be really funny If the
poison pens writing such stuff were not
the cause of much hatred and i'll feeling
among the nations. Yes 1t is due to such
venomous writings that peoples are led
TO war upon each other, thus MAIN s;
murder the innocents.
The real menace to the worlds peace
are such miserable articles, actuated no
doubt by your British Employers, who
hope to gain by Germany's losses, the
lowest. most beastlal means of gaining
the upper hand. Not only did such
poisonous writings increase our taxes,
raise the price of our commodities. but
actually streW the fields of Flanders with
Corpses of our American Youths. or
course we know that its good policy
for a man who steals to call Thief" In
like manner you appear to try TO shut
our eyes to the Incorrigable Allies who
fomented this war.
The outrageous lies told about Ger
many by similar culprits are just be-
ginning to be recognized by the more
intelligent Americans. The reform"
should be with our Lord Northcliffe &

proval to the peace commission, when
we will then become a member Of the
league.
Let us give the President time to act
of his own initiative and not try to
force his hand. The public press should
regard the amenities of the situation and
wait for the President to speak. 1t is a
delicate matter for another nation to
try to influence public opinion elsewhere
and no doubt that has been the reason
why the other nations have not ex-
pressed their views until now, and even
now Lord Grey does not speak ofici-
ally.
Possibly the President may have in
vited this expression Of Lord Grey S
views and this was the diplomatic way
of presenting Great Britain's feeling in
the matter. Is it not most likely that
before he wrote his letter he had proper
assurance that France, Italy and Japan
shared the same views?
This letter has great possibilities-let
us not imperil them by foolish indis-
cretious on the part of the public. Give
the President q chance.

Give the President Time to Think!
To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger!
Sir-Lord Grey's letter to the London
Times concerning the League of Ma
tions and the Lodge reservations is a
most timely and important contribution
situation immensely. It shows that as
far as Great Britain Is concerned she
does not care much if we do have some
reservation barnacles attached to our
ratification of the league.
1t is merely a matter of good taste
for us. IL we are satisfied to hedge and
qualify and grow little panicky over
the matter, that is for us to de :
eide. Lord Grey appreciates fully that
the league cannot be the success il
should be without the United Estates as
member, and, therefore, he urges his
own people not to attach too much i'm
portance to what American politicians
are trying to do with the league
If the President now gets proper as
surance that Lord Grey is speaking with
authority and that the other nations
coincide with his views, may we not
safely rely upon the belief that the
President will accept the ratification by
the Senate with the reservations and
return the peace treaty with our ap-

Admlres Mrs. spikers Courage

TO the Editor Of the Evenin0 Public Ledger:
Sir-Since the attitude of Mrs. Spiker
toward her husband and his English
sweetheart is being so widely dis
cussed these days, may 1, as woman,
express my admiration for the big,
broad minded views Of woman who
dares, in the face Of public criticism,
stand by her husband in his difficulties,
be true to her promise for better or
worse, and live her creed of forgiving
those who trespass against her?
Strange, is it not, that ministers who
preach this religion of forgiving our
enemies are among those who condemn
when one member Of society practices
this in her daily life.
Can you not see what this woman

duties as an aviator, he had found that
during his absence his wife, Mrs. Spiker,
had, on her own account, added a tiny
new member to the family circle?
The lieutenant seems to be keeping
somewhat in the background just now
that is. as far as he can with all the
advertisement he is getting from the rest
of his household, and, laudable as the
intention no doubt Is, 1t seems to me
