So says friend Of ours named Velvet Joe.
And no just about hits the nail the head.
Velvet is made for men who think there's
no smoke like real tobacco. If you are that
sort of man, listen:
Velvet was born in old Kentucky, where
more than one good thing comes from 1t was
raised as carefully as any other Kentucky
thoroughbred. But the real secret of Velvet's
friendly qualities is its slow natural ageing in
wooden hogsheads. Ageing in the wood
never hurt anything--an least of all, tobacco
And so we say, Velvet is good tobacco
nothing moro or less. 1t runs second to
none. Il

EXECUTING THE TREATY

Diplomatic relations between
France and Germany were fully
restored last week. A German
Ambassador was received at
Paris. In welcoming him Presi-
dent Millerand spoke cordially
Of his hope that the two nations
might live and cooperate in
peace and amity, but did not omit
to remark that this would large
ly depend upon the good faith of
Germany in carrying out all the
terms Of the Treaty of Versailles.
Poor, deluded Millerand! Has
he not been told over and over
again by some Of the most noisy
''intellectuals" in America and
England that the Treaty is a
dead letter? They have proved
many times, by their favorite
method Of assertion. that the
Treaty never can be enforced.
It was conceived in stupid vin-
dictiveness, they say. Its whole
theory was wrong and its execu-
ton was from the first impossi-
be. There was nothing to do
with it except to throw it on the

an erring sister who has already
been more than sufficiently pun
ished.
To this order of mind it is al
ways a painful shock to be con-
fronted with the facts. Yet it is
a fact that the Treaty of Versail-
les, during the eight months
since it came into force, has
steadily been executed, one step
after another. Some of its pro-
visions, in regard to which the
Treaty itself erected machinery
for adjustment or revision, have
not yet been put into effect, but
the bulk Of the Treaty stands un-
affected, and Germany has been
carrying it out as nearly as pos
sible on schedule time. Only last
week the dispatches mentioned
her final delivery of ships, the
total being nearly 2,O00,O 900 tons,
partially to make good her un-
lawful and wicked destruction
of allied and neutral merchant
vessels by submarine attack. Is
this act of reparation to be
thought of as revenge? The
sane verdict of mankind will be
that it is simple retributive JUS
tice.
There has been much hasty
and foolish talk about the Treaty
of Versailles being already torn
to pieces. The truth is that it
so far stands almost wholly in
tact. Take the clauses involving
territorial changes. They have
not been modified. All of them
have been executed. Alsace.
Lorraine is French again. The
Sarre Valley is administered by
a commission under the League
of Nations. Posen belongs to
Poland. Belgium is in possession
of her slight additions of terri
tory. Danzig is a free city. One
Schleswig zone has voted itself
Danish the others German. The
plebiscite in upper Silesia will he
taken in due time. All these
changes, in their aggregate vast,
have been made in pursuance OF
a treaty which we have been
asked to believe was already OBJ
solete and wholly incapable of
enforcement.
Much might be said of the ex-
ecution of those parts of the
Treaty of Versailles which look
ed to the permanent Gripping of
Germany's military power. He'll
goland has been dismantled. The
fortresses east of the Rhine have
been demolished. Guns, air.
planes, Zeppelins, battleships
have been turned over for de-
struction to the Allies, while the
work of internal disarmament
has steadily progressed. British
and French military commissions
in Germany have reported that
she is doing her best to live up
to her undertakings in The mat
ter of armament. furthermore
there is no alteration of the
Treaty in respect to prisoners of
war, ports, railroads, waterways,
and so forth. The dead Treaty"
is very much alive.
A few of its clauses are tacitily
in allegiance: others are to be
modified, as the Treaty itself
foresaw that it might be neces-
sary to modify it, and provided
the appropriate means for doing
so. As for the war criminal, "
the Government of the Neither
land was duly. called upon to de-
liver up the Kaiser, but when it
refused the Allies thanked God
that they were rid of a knave
and let the matter drop. In re-
spect to the other men charged
with war crimes, the German
courts themselves are to try
forty-five test cases at Leipsic.
The deliveries of coal which
Germany was to make have been
lowered in amount. temporarily,

Gray's s.Elegy in . CounfTy
Churchyard" dimly recalls 10 ex-
students unfortunate hours mis-.
spent in swallowing the mournfui
verses whole in an orgy Of memory
work, or else in picking the lines
labofiously to pieces.
Most travellers have got over the
effects Of these unpleasant expert
ences when they come to Stoke
Poges. The lines Of Gray drift up
out Of the limbo of subc0nscious-
ness, as you actually see and feel
what the poet described. That is
the charm Of the old English
churchyard-and Of Gray's poem. .
AS you sit there listening to the
birds and watching the wind play
in the ivy on the church walls you
will at least remember the FIRST line
of the old elegy-"The curfew tolls
the knell of parting day." and pos
sibly that famous one-"Far from
the madding crowds ignoble strife"
on in a corner by stone marked
with the name Dorothy Gray, the
poet and his mother Dorothy lie
together. There is . handsome
monument to the poet not far from
the churchyard, but the grave with
its simple little slab il the mecca
which draws more pilgrims than
any other grave in England, ex-
cepting Shakespeare's.
Gray, the guide says. wrote his
elegy here in the churchyard. be-
meath q yew. tree. 1t was not all
composed at once, but the deaths
of three people inspired different
parts of the lament.
In this atmosphere Of peace and
gloomy beauty. the most prosaic
soul is stirred to appreciation. As
one elderly lady looked out at the
smooth fields and the ripping grass
about Gray's. tomb, she turned and
with real emotion murmured, Amt
it sad? He's been dead . hundred
years, and 1t just makes me feel
like when our goat Harriet died Of
