HISTORY A USEFUL STUDY.

II has been said that of all the peoples Of the
earth ours is the that derives the least benefit
from the great teachings Of history Our thoughts
centre in today and our hopes in tomorrow, our
memory of yesterday remaining blank.
Yet we have only to turn back a little more than
half century to find ourselves In the midst Of a
erod of mad extravaganza and fast living that is
not unlike that in which we i've now. and has been
rightfuy termed the Flash age' Of New York.
The pace was swift then. Events of startling in
terest followed one another in quick succession.
Money, quickly and easily made during the civil
war was being as quickly and easily spent OF
the great fortunes that awed the public Of that
day scarcely exists intact at the present time,
while the "brown stone fronts" hastily built In
blocks to shelter the spectators and the makers
of shoddy war supplies, have long since crumbled
away before the invasion Of more solid wealth.
backed by better taste It was an age in which
railroads were built twenty years beyond the ma
ltions needs and at an expense Of countless mill
ions of dollars, much Of which has never been re-
deemed. II was age In which crime flourished.
for the word had gone forth that hanging was
nlsved out In New York" Tweed and his gang
were carrying on their wholesale ooting of the
city and bank burglars were operating on scale
greater than anything known before or since
There were murders then that have never been
avenged and still remain unsolved mysteries. The
merry strains Of Offenbachs music filled the air.

MIR. BoRAH ASKS SOME QUESTIONS.

The questions asked by Senator Borah In his let
ter to Governor Lowden. Of Illinois. are questions
which all aspirants for the Presidency, in whatever
political camp will be called upon to answer in no
uncertain way before the nominating conventions
act Senator Borah makes it clear that he intends
to play no favortes; that other Republicans whose
hats have been tossed into the ring will receive
from him similar letters Of inquiry. 1t may be
taken for granted also that Democratic aspirants
will be similarly quizzed by some Of their party
associates for desire to preserve Americansm pure
and undefiled is the property Of no one political
party
Senator Borah is one Of the so-called "irrecon-
cilables" who believe that the issue involved in
the Treaty of Peace, with its covenant of league
of nations should be the dominating issue Of the
coming campaign for the Presidency He has held
from the beginning of the controversy that the
League of Nations contemplates such a radical de-
parture from the traditional policy of the United
States that the people themselves should be given
an opportunity to say whether the country should
enter such league and that not even the Con-
gress should take action until the will Of the
people IS ascertained. In his letter to Governor
Lowden the Idaho Senator expresses the opinion
that while the outlook for avoiding the issue in the
coming campaign 'is not promising the next ad-
comes a campaign issue or does not.
Senator Borah's development Of this thesis is
sound his illustrations apt. It is inevitable that
the next administration will find itself constantly
confronted by questions involving the basic prin-
ciple Of our international relationshp-whether
-he policy of no entangling alliances laid down by
the fathers shall be adhered to or whether aban-
donment OF that policy is advisable in view of con-
ditions growing out of the great war And Senator
Borah Is right when he contends that the attitude
toward that problem Of the man then In the White
House is OF more Importance to the country than
ANYTHING that may be written into the platform of
the political party responsible for putting him into
that position OF power and Of trust.
II may be taken for granted that Governor Low.
don VIII make clear his attitude toward the issues
raised by Senator Borah's questions. II Is to be
hoped that every other Presidential asprant will
sneak ont in no uncertain way. The election OF
1920 Is to be one Of vital importance to this re-
public This is no year for sidesteppng.

AS the representative seamans paper

steamship managers and the travellinS
public to the apparent disregard Of the
seamans Christmas at sea?
We are among the crew of tho White
Star steamship Adriatic. in port after a
stormy passage, and spent Christmas Day
in mid-Atlantic- The officers and pas
sengers never neglect the day in Joy and
Thanksgiving and in their feast'ng and
entertainment. but the machinery during
the voyage never ceases and that includes
tho crew who handle the machines and
the navigators. These human machines
though, are Christians, who too recognize
Christmas. who have families at home.
where chair is vacant. A great many Of
us have spent years at sea and IN the
service OF the White Star Company.
Heretofore Christmas on board has been
recognized by the commanders of our line
In the shape OF a special dinner beverage
and privileges when celebrated at sea.
The latter, howeer, was entirely lacking
In the voyage just finished. AS an after
thought bottle of beer was served to
each member of the crew on the Sunday
following, with the explanation that IL
was overlooked on Christmas Day.
Surely those Of us who were so lauded
for our fidelity and risks during the war
deserve this little human attribute to
our existence on this greatest Of days. and
we thank you In advance for publishing
this expression Of our feelinrs.

PROTEST BY AMERICAN ARTISTS.

II is very easy to see what ought to have been
done and was not done by those in charge of the
exhibition Of works by American artists held at
the Luxembourg Museum in Paris, when some
person in authority there refused to allow a num-
ber Of the paintings to be hung. Pending an ap-
peal to the official committee in New York. the
custodians of the collection should have refused to
allow 1t to be opened to the public.
The so-caed "modernists' had not asked to be
represented. AS the invitation of the French gov
ernment called for Representative" show, they
were sought out. Their pictures were passed on
we're approved and were despatched to France by
n committee that contained number Of members
Of the National Academy Of Design. It was only
when lie exhibition was about to close that q
vague report reached here that some Of the pictures
had not been catalogued or hung. The facts in
detail have just come TO light.
Members Of the New York committee have as
much reason to be dspleosed as the excluded
"modernists" for they ought to have been kept

was going on. and were not What would have

ION ANY REASONABLE TERMS"

'we are confident that this Is the view Of the
British people and of the French" says the London
Times in supporting its assertion that if America
thinks reservations to the peace treaty necessary
for her freedom or are demanded by her consti-
tuition or her traditional foreign policy. the gov
ernments associated with us in war and in the
peace making will accept these reservations

reasonable terms,' adds the Times.

Nations as is given to the British Empire! "While

In the &east object to seeing the United States in
possession Of the same number Of votes as has
the British Empire"-these are the exact words
Of the Times.
There can be no question that Lord Northcliffe's
.sThunderer" is warranted in its expression Of con
fidence that the view it expresses is the view OF
the British peaple and Of the French. The gov
ernments Of Great Britain and of France share
the views Of their respective peoples. Those per
sons on this side Of the Atlantic who have been
going about saying that the adoption Of reserva
tions by the Senate is tantamount to rejection ol
the treaty-because ratification with those reser
vations would be construed rejection by Great
Britain and France-simply do not know what
they are talking about.

TO permit themselves to be bamboozled by such
talk?

NET RESULTS OF BRITISH SUBMARINE
WARFARE.

IN the current issue of the journal of the British
Nary League appears a well considered and careful
list or enemy submarines sunk in action, and in the
light OF the fuller Information from German
the nnety-four victories set down may be taken as
the lrreducible minimum of British achievements
This number is Of course much below the $50 sink
lngs claimed by Lloyd George in August. 1918,
three months before the fighting ended: but some
OF the discrepancies may be charged to the posi-
bility that certain submarines which had been
badly hit and were supposed to have been de-
stroyed managed to struggle home and that others
officially listed at the time overcome by acci
dent or by passive action and not by attack Com
mander Graham Bowers r. ~, better known
under bis pen name "Klaxon," also supplies much
new information In his latest book "The Story of
Our Submarines" Among other things he declares
and proves that in submarine construction and
power the British were ahead of the Germans,
who Aad never produced craft like the famous
"K' class-a type that had there been another
fleet action, could have been used with every prom
ise Of success.

largest share fell victim to the destroyers. which

What perhaps is no less astonishing, in view Of
the pre-war denials as to such probabilities with
vessels blinded by submersion, submarines have
with success fought other submarines. 1t is true
that in some instances one assailant was on the
surface but other positive cases cited in which
