volved In 1t might be made far more
elastic 80 as to suit wide variety Of
joint necessities---to include, for in
stance, just such q team Of BRAIN
workers as this writing-pianoplay-
ing pair. Marriage has survived tho
twin-bed-seems even to thrive on it.
1t may, for some, do very cheerfully
without breakfasts and with sepa-
rate homes.
The trouble with the partisans Of
marriage has been that they have
stressed unimportant details and inn
material conventions and laid too
little accent upon essentials. In con-
sequence the institution has, as Mr..
Wells has argued, been needlessly
difficult for certain types Of people.
Provided the affection is deep and
lasting and faithful, the details Of
the manner Of living together can be
endlessly varied, he contends. OF
course, the details have always
varied considerably. What the ex-
perimenters are now doing is only to
vary these details in new directions
and to farther reaches. So long as
they are faithful to the heart Of the
relationship it is hard to see how
they can do much damage to any
BODY.

This is the story Of the low-cut lady
and the lisping tot. 1t is contained in
The Menace Of immortality" by the
Rev. John Roach Straton, in a chapter
entitled "Slaves Of Fashion,:
IL once heard one Of the most lannon's
reform workers Of this city explain why
she gave up low-cut gowns" writes DR..
Straton. "She explained how she was
ready to start for the theater one night
IN such dress when her little bow Of
tive said to her, But mother, you are
not going that way? You are not
dressed And then, with trembling
voice, she told us how all the evening
through, as she sat in the playhouse.
she kept hearing that sweet childish
voice saying Not dressed Not dressed,
Not dressed!' until at last, with the
! blush Of shame mantlng to her cheeks,
and with the realization that Chris
tian mother should dress differently
from the idle and goddess women Of the
world, she drew her cloak about her and
went home, dressed-or rather un-
dressed-for the last time in such a
costume!"
Nothing we have read in month has
been quite so disturbing to US as this
simple little tale. Before it our theories
tremble and fall. Upon many an occa-
sion we have set down the conviction
that little children should never be
spanked under any provocation whatso-
ever. And yet if we had been that low
cut lady we would certainly have given
that interfering and priggish little
youngster walloping. Even in the case
OF II. Sd we are minded to make an
exception in our program. He may
rampage and roar and destroy without
laying himself open to corporal punish
ment, but he will do very we'll to refrain
from any comment Of any sort about our
clothes or personal appearance. We do
not purpose to come home in our cloak
from any show with our evening entire
ly spoiled by the fact that sweet child
lsh voice has been saying in our ear
"Not shaved! Not shaved! Not shayed!''
We have suspicion, not yet con-
firmed, that James E. Agate, new Eng
lish novelist, wrote Responsibility
(Doran) for the sake of the introduc-
ton. There are forty-three pages of
it, and. although somewhat self-con-
scious and overwritten, it is sprightly
and pleasant piece of work Mr.. Agate
is young man--this, too, is surmise-
much entranced by the sound of words
New-York tribune., 1920-05-05
Poland's Fight for Kiev

The Poles haven't taken Kiav vet
The latest reports from Warsaw and
Moscow show that Pilsudski is con-
verg1ng on the Ukraine capital from
the northwest, west and southwest
and that the Red Twelfth Armv.
under General Miezeckow, Is trying
to hold semi-circular bridgehead
opposite Kiev on the western bank
of the Dnieper River.
The Polish operation has two pur1
poses-one military and ono politi-
cal. Most Of the fighting between
the Polish and Red Russian armies
has been on the front north of the
Pripet, from Pinsk up to the region
east Of Wilma. Here the spring
thaw has now suspended hostilities
Trotzky launched his unsuccessful
drive there six weeks or more ago,
while the ground was still frozen.
In the kiev district, especially to
the southwest Of the city, conditions
are now favorable for marching and
fighting. Pilsudski has therefore
shifted his attack to the south in
the hope of capturing Kiev, and thus
turning the Soviet line running up
the Dnieper and the Pripet. Above
the Pripet 1t covers an important
north and south military railroad
which the Germans built when they
were standing on the defence in
Russia. If Kiev falls the northern
Polish armies will probably be en-
abled to advance east to Smolensk. If
they care to push that far on the
straight road to Moscow.
The political purpose Of the
present offensive is to liberate the
Ukraine and assist in establishing
Ukrainsan independence. The Poles
would like to see their northern and
southern f1anks covered by buffer
states friendly to them and de-
tached in interest from Soviet Rus
sia. Lithuania, Letvia, Esthonia and
Llvonia constitute sufficient bar
rier on the north. The Ukraine
would serve the same use on the
south. Moreover, the Ukraine is the
granary Of Southeastern Europe.
Poland would be glad to have &C
cess to that granary on easy terms,
and also to have a southern exit to
the sea through Odessa.
Poland properly aspires to be q
strong state. Her people have an
unquenchable instinct of nationality.
Ir that respect they are further de-
veloped than most Of the other Slav
stocks. Poland is the one Eastern

Article X
Let Republicans Make 1t the Issue
of 1920

Let Republicans Make 1t the Issue
of 1920
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Will President Wilson dare to
insist on the original pact as q domi-
nant issue to be decided next Novem-
ber? 1t is obvious he and his follow
ers are trying to place the responsible
ity Of the existing chaos on the Repub-
lican party, when he himself is the pri-
mary cause. That the people may rem
der just Judgment, would it not be
we'll for the Republican party to see
that sufficient copies Of Article X are
placed before the public?
Tho common people, of whom I am
one, have little time to digest such vo-
luminous documents as the treaty; but
all would have time to read Article x,
the "heart" Of the league, which was
cunningly interviewer into the treaty to
coerce the Senate to ratify it.
Why docs the President studiously
avoid quoting the exact wording of
that article? His interpretations can
not obscure that in such an act Of
binding obligation the United States
would have no recourse. The fact is
evident that if the treaty without res
ervations is ratified, we agree to "pre-
serve as against external aggression
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence Of all membe rs
Of the league"
A treaty upon ratification becomes
the supreme law Of the land" (Article
vi, Constitution Of the United States). }.
Is that the reason President Wilson is
30 determined that patriotic reserva-
tions shall not be written into the
treaty?
The Constitution Is tho birthright of
every citizen Of the United States. Why
throw the legacy away? They who
want the treaty ratified without reser-
vations should not condemn Esau for
bartering his birthright. He received
at least mess Of pottage.
That the American people have a high
sense of equity and will listen to any
Just call of humanity Is evidenced by
their help in the World War and their
help in freeing Cuba; but they will re-
serve the right to decide what is lust
and what is unjust.
The valiant fight in the Senate, led
by the Republicans, who persisted in
safeguarding the freedom Of the United
States, has awakened the people. If
the treaty becomes an issue, shall they
not have an opportunity to read Article
x for themselves, so that they may give
verdict against 1t at the poll?

power capable Of developing into a
sympathetic and constant ally Of tho
Western democracies. 1t is her role
to be an Eastern outpost Of the new
European order. A development Of
her influence is therefore not
inimical to the purposes Of the Ver-
sailles peace. Her hegemony in the
Russian borderlands would be q
guaranty of stability there. The
Ukraine Is in revolt against Soviet
ruthlessness and tyranny. If the
Ukrainians desire to recover the in
dependence granted to them by Rus
sia in the Treaty of Brest-L -Litovsk,
thus escaping the Red contamina-
ton, sound European policy seems
to sanction the separation. And
free, nationalistic Ukraine would
naturally look for political and eco
nomic support to strong Poland.

business man, but a business man
with broad views and experience in
public affairs. He is no counting
room recluse. AS Deputy Superin-
tendent of Public Works during the
administration Of Governor Roose-
velt, place for which he was chosen
because of his exceptional engineer
ing ability, he took a prominent part
in preparing the way for the new
barge canal. He would have the
waterway genuinely completed and
made of full transportation use. At
the outbreak of the war he was a
member Of the Roosevelt division,
which was not deemed worthy enough
to go, and was assigned to have
charge of the gas warfare Of the
unit, for which work his knowledge
of the chemical industry specially
fitted him. In 1912 he was treas
urer of the Progressive National
Committee, and from his Albany
days was a close friend Of Colonel
Roosevelt.
New York's state problems largely
relate to business matters-how to
increase production, to develop
further the states resources, to re-
duce the cost of government and to
simplify its processes. Mr.. Hooper's
eminent qualifications in the way of
giving the state a business admin
istration such as it has not enjoyed
since it became the practice to choose
lawyer er-politicians will not be denied.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-05
The. All-America Candidate

Maryland adds it's testimony to
the impressive body of evidence that
Leonard Wood is Presidential cam
didate able to make himself seen
across the country. When the con-
vention assemblies practically all the
delegations will contain men at heart
Wood supporters. Exigencies of
local politics and instructions may
lead delegates to suppress their per-
sonal preferences, but If there is~a
deadlock it will be difficult to pre-
vent drift to Wood. A leading
candidate who does not win easily
seldom wins, but conditions this year
are exceptional.
General Wood has not made SEN
sational canvass. He possesses lit
tie oratorical power. His appeal is
to judgments rather than to emo
tions. Yet his dignified and good
tempered candidacy has more and
more gathered headway. Those
adept in multiplying favorite son
movements will not find it easy to
head him off. More Republicans
plainly want Wood than want any of
his rivals.
Senator johnson, who also has
diffused support, has secured more
delegates than he was credited with
In the first forecasts. But he has
done so by making alliances that
practically preclude his nomination.
His association with Hearst has
brought him support, and so has his
catering to pro-German and Sim
Fein elements, but he is driving
away a more numerous company.
His selection would force the Repub-
licans into making a defensive cam
palgn-would lead to attacks the
Democratic press plainly hopes to be
able to make. 1t will be of little
