sibflity Of another Germany Of that

sibility Of another Germany Of that
character.
Germany naturally protests all sug-
gestions Of bad faith. This is one Of
the punishments imposed upon her in
her defeat. She forfeited the con-
fldence of the world in her initial moves
that caused and accompanied the out.
break Of war. She intensified the sus'
picion that these moves engendered by
the methods of war-waging she adopt
ed. A penalty naturally attaches to
the loss of confidence. The question
for the allied governments to deter
mine is how long a period of faithful
compliance with the terms Of the
treaty, what proofs of sincerity of re-
form, are required before confidence
can be restored.
Doubtless the allied powers can as
certain for themselves whether the
organizations Of which complaint is
now made in the notes sent to Der
lin are honestly necessary for strictly
home defense or not. Germany is not
la closed land. Inquiry can be made
there. and presumably will be made
if it has not already been conducted
with the result of this demand for the
immediate dissolution Of the bands
that have been formed. which Ger
many declares are of a non military
character.

Mr.. Bryan at Marion.

Mr.. Bryan is very properly included
among those invited to Marion to dis
cuss world peace. Both as political
leader and as a chautauqua lecturer,
he has for years been an advocate OF
peace. As Secretary Of State he nego'
tiated a number of peace treaties. His
record as a pacifist is complete.
He was not opposed to the Versailles
treaty per Sc. What brought him into
opposition to the President on that
pact was the latter's refusal to accept
the Lodge reservations after a ma
jority of the Senate had voted for
them. Mr.. Bryan favored majority
rule in that case. though he did not
at Baltimore in 1912, when he assisted
in the defeat of Champ Clark after
the latter had secured a majority Of
the democratic national convention for
its nomination for President.
Mr.. Bryan showed the gift of proph-
ecy as respected this years campaign.
He warned his party against making
the league of nations it's paramount
issue. 1t disregarded his warning. and
went to overwhelming defeat.
This invitation to Marion recognizes
Mr. Bryan as a democrat, and entitled
to speak as one. Anti-Bryan demo-
Gratis may not be pleased, but they
probably will not openly object. He
did not support Gov. Cox except by
his individual ballot. which in the cir
cumstances possessed no value; but
he still has large following in the
democratic party, and is Offering sug-
gestions about what should be done
to put the party on its feet again. He
comedies that the party is down, but
refuses to believe it is out.

To Ease the Worlds Burdens.

America may become again 1.-The

yond repair. there remains at least the
possibility of rendering substantial
aid to national treasures that are
broke.
1t may be that the nations cannot
agree upon a plan to remove war from
among the possibilities, but certainly
If there ever was or ever will be a
time when they could agree to make
preparation for war a less crushing
burden that time is now. The cost Of
maintaining and increasing arma.
ments is like an Old Man Of the Sea
upon the back of bankrupt Europe.
paralyzing effort and deadening hope.
The peoples Of Europe groaned under
it before the world war piled up it's
killing burden Of debt; now they are
fleeing from it by the thousands, as
from a pestilence.
If the government Of the United
States announced itself in favor OF re-
ducing or checking the increase Of
ornaments. every government in
Europe would have to fall in line-or
face revolution. No statesman would
dare brave the wrath of his people by
refusing to follow this way out from
the slough of despair.
America. though able to pay what
ever costs are necessary in the game
Of ornaments, would have cause to
rejoice were this burden removed from
able to have ornaments herself, can.
not afford to have Europe have them.
Already money due this country for
interest charges on Europe's war
debt is being spent for weapons Of
war, and trade languishes and work
ers are idle in this country because
Europe cannot find the money to pay
for the goods. it needs from America.
Leadership in simultaneous disarm-
ament, or in simultaneous cessation
Of increase Of ornaments, would seem
to offer a chance to confer very real
and very pressingiy needed benefit
upon the world, and at the same time
to regain. that prestige we are alleged
to have lost.

Flimsy Hospital Wards.

A fatal fire at Walter Reed Hospital
emphasizes the danger involved in the
continued use Of the flimsy frame
buildings that were erected in a hurry
at the outbreak of the war when it
was necessary to provide quickly for
the care of the sick and wounded Of
the military service. This great in
there has been no time for the de.
velopment Of a permanent plant, al
| though plans for the enlargement and
the substitution Of fire-resisting build
ings for the hastily built wards have
been made and await execution.
No hospital building should ever be
tolerated that is not in the last de-
gree fire-resisting. No institution in
which persons afflicted in body or mind
are cared for should ever invite trag-
edy by the maintenance OF the condi-
lions that make for quick develop
ment and spread of flames. Escape
is difficult for perfectly sound occu.
pants of such buildings. while those
who are disabled in any degree or way
are exposed to deadly danger at all
times in such conditions.
Walter Reed Hospital has become
one Of the permanent institutions Of
the government. 1t has served a won
derfully effective purpose during the
past three years, in the extension Of
its facilities for the care of those dis
abled in the war Plans for its large
extension have been approved, land
has been acquired and appropriations
for buildings have been sought. This
fire. with its fatality, should cause a
speeding of the fund provision and a
careful restudy of the construction
plans, to insure against a repetition,
with perhaps more disastrous results,
Of yesterdays tragedy.
The fire-inviting wooden buildings
should be replaced with the least pos.
sible delay, whatever the program for
future development.

throughout the year probably. other
cities will follow suit. Chicago, for
example, was forced to adopt the "po-
tatO time" as 1t IL called in some
parts OF the country. because Of the
change in New York bank hours. If
Chicago should keep the daylight-sav-
ing schedule it would during part Of
the year be on exactly even terms
with New York in relation to banking
and stock exchange time, with an
hours difference during the other
months. 1t is altogether probable that

sea-Carriers and World Trade.

There is to be a French merchant
marine. Recently it was announced
there would be a Spanish merchant
marine. "Everybody's doing it now"
There is good reason for this. All
the leading nations have suffered heav-
lily by the war. Even the small neu-
trail nations have losses to show. All
are planning to recover.
Trade is the general watchword
And that means world trade. Every
nation able to take a place among
those seeking foreign trade must dc
so il 1t is to share in the new oppor
tunity.
Every nation must be able to de
liver its own goods-must in some
measure be sea carrier. Depend
ence upon a competitor for such serv
ice means a disadvantage amounting
ito defeat. We know how that is our.
selves. Our backwardness as a world
trader grows largely out of the lack
of bottoms of our own for our own
purposes. We have them now, and
hence are preparing to get into the
gains with confidence
Now and then warning is sounded
on this subject. Trade with nations
rs competitors means war. Success.
full trade Is enlightened selfishness. 1t
admits Of no altruism. The slogan Is,
go to it. Get there
OF course. there is risk. But Just
ms there is in all activity. Risk moth.
ing. gain nothing" For our part, we
are not meditating war, but only trade,
with "a fair field and no favor" But
we shall be ready to protect by force,
II necessary, any interests we may
establish on the water.

A Grim Experience.
They printed fathers picture in the
paper yesterday.
The family gathered round to marvel
at the grand display.
The corners Of his mouth turned down;
his eye was all severe:
The lines upon his forehead showed an
intellect austere.
In solemn admiration we lined up to
view the page
Where father was depicted as the
wonder Of the age.
And then thrill of horror was trans.
- mitted through the crowd
When some irreverent person had the
nerve to laugh out loud.
Now fathers face was wreathed in
smiles; which is its normal state.
His genial disposition is a source Of
comfort great.
And once again he babe US understand
that all was well,
For father was the one who laughed
and broke the awful spell.
Then everybody present lifted I'D a
merry din:
And soon the hired girl brought pen
and ink and paper in.
We made dear father promise, though
he live to be fourscore,
He'll never put his picture in the
paper any more.

had never permitted an execution until
he had examined the record personally
as the responsibility rested upon him.
He said a delegation of negro minis
tiers, all from Nashville, who minister to
the negro prisoners appealed to him to
give Young little more time to get
ready to die, and for the reason that
he had not examined the record he
granted a thirty-da respite. He said
no application had been made to him
from any source for a Communication.
Those who talked with the governor
went away satisfied that the law would
be permitted to take its course. DR..
Brinkley counseled strongly against mob
violence when the life of the negro
was threatened.
The governor assured the delegation
that the respite had no significance.
