The city health officer informs the
Graphic that there is no immediate
cause for alarm. Up to yesterday nine
cases were reported in Deming. How
ever, these have all been developed
within Il week, showing that the epi'
demic Is spreading very rapidly. II
may he that the worst Is over now
and II may be that the worst Is yet Il

taking chances. So far there have
been no deaths and most cases are re-
ported as very light.

Cancellation of Loans

The British conceive that If Amer
ica is allowed to redraft the terms
Of the Treaty Of Versailles In such
fashion as to save Germany econom-
ically, and the balance of Europe
as we'll, 1t will agree to vast new
loans and not impossibly to the
cancellation Of $40, 100000, 900 Of
existing loans. They believe this be-
cause it falls in with what the Presi-
dent and those associated with him
in Paris declared was the real char
acter OF American idealism. But
they know all such amendments will
encounter strenuous Continental op-
position, and recognize that only
American power and prestige can
put them through.
Nevertheless, as long as there Is
the remotest chance Of an Ameri-
can return to Europe Great Britain
will not run the smallest risk either
of offending the President or Of
raising an impassaoIe barrier be-
tween Britain and the Presidents

Campaign of Bitterness

campaign Oh bitterness
At the same time Italy pursued
campaign against her old allies, the
French and the British, and par
ticularly against the French, because
these two nations accepted President
Wilson's policy instead of asserting
to the Italian claims. Many French
soldiers, occupying portions Of the
Adriatic coast under orders from the
Paris Conference. were actually muir
dered, and a press campaign Of un-
paralleled bitterness was carried on
against France.
For Britain, as for America, this
italian bitterness had no real threat,
but for France it was quite different.
In case of another war with Ger
many France would be menaced by
an Italian attack along the Alps, and
it was only Italian neutrality which
saved France In 1914, by enabling
the French to concentrate all their
troops in the north. 1t was this de-
tail which totally wrecked German
combinations and led directly to the
defeat Of the First Marne.
France could afford to stand with
Britain and the United States
against Italian claims II 1t were
clear that Britain and the United
States would stand with France in
case OF q new German attack. But
when tho President returned to
Washington 1t became clear that
there was no real chance that Amer
lea would undertake to defend
France against German attack, while
Britain declined to undertake the
task without American cooperation.
France thus found herself
estranged, from two Latin states,
Italy and Rumania, because of her
acceptance Of Wilson leadership,
but without any commensurate re-
ward in the way of security. Con-
sequently there developed q strong
French sentiment in favor Of chang
ing sides and standing with the
Italians, while both in Britain and
IN France there was a general de-
mand that there be some settlement
OF situation which threatened to
be the occasion Of new war. and
while unsettled prevented actual
peace In all of southern Europe.
Proposal Rejected
AT first solution satisfactory to
PRESIDENT Wilson and to Italy was
sought, out the proposal accented bv
Mr.. Polk for the President was re-
Jected by Italy; thereafter Mr.. Polk
left Europe and the President he
came Ill In this situation Britain
and France, acting without the
united states, proposed settle
nent which Italy accepted. Then
hoth states served notice upon the
Jugo-Slavs that they must accent
this or submit to seeing the old
Treaty of London imposed, which
meant the loss of all of Dalmatia.
The compromise was far more fa-
vorable TO the Jugo-Slavs than anv
previous proposal. 1t gave them all
OF DaImatia ara most Of the islands
with certain restrictions as to Zara
but 1t placed Fiunae under the
league Of nations and IN addition
gave the Italians a strip of Slav
coastland, thus enabling them
TO have access over their own terri
tory to the Fiume district As
compromise 1t was not unreasonable
but the main criticism was thai

the Jugo-Slavs to accept It or ac-
eept the Treaty Of London as the
alternative. But President Wilson

AIR. Wilson'S Stand

In this situation President VIII
sons opposition to the original nro-
posal that Italy have Fiums is un-
derstandable; is, in fact, unassail-
able, as question of right and
wrong. A country Of 100000
people, as large as Italy in area and
destined to have a population nearly
AS large in future not too distant,
cannot safely be deprived of q sea
gate or placed In economic subjec-
ton to the Italians. Moreover, Ii
The population Of Fiums, less than
10000, contains majority Of Ital-
4nns, very large areas with a purely
Slav population have been assigned
TO Italy on grounds which could be
cited to warrant Jugo-Slav claims
20 Fiume.
Unfortunately, the naked question
Of right or wrong has little to do
with the larger aspects of the ques-
sion. In 1915, when Great Britain
end France needed italian aid, they
made secret treaty with tho Ital-
ian government by which they
promised Italy the Austrian terri
cory in the Trsntine and Tyrolese
districts. as far north as the Bren-
ner Pass, Trieste and the Istrian
the northern half of Dal-
malta and certain other things In
and Asia Minor.
AN this was done long before tho
1suxtsen points were svea born.
