that the levees have stood even higher
stages than the crest Of 40 feet, which
Is predicted for Natchez, he does not
consider the situation at present as at
all alarming, and believes that tn"
water coming down may fail to put the
gauge as high as expected.
1t is believed here that If there is
any high water damage sustained from

Pendulum Swings Back.

The pendulum has swung from one
extreme, in which the president sought
Ito make a treaty without taking into
account the sentiment in congress, to
the other extreme. in which congress
will, if the joint resolution is passed,
attempt to dictate how the president
shall conduct foreign relations.
The partisan atmosphere, together
with a government divided on political
lines, is producing constitutional tan
giles unknown in American history and
is slowly building up a bitterness of
feeling that may make it difficult to
decide any question except through the
roundabout, but nevertheless effective
process of the courts.
Only the calm and disinterested judg
ment of the supreme court of the United
States, set up to say what laws are
valid or invalid, can now settle the dis
pute to the satisfaction of everybody
concerned, unless the Republican con-
gress withdraws its complcating joint
resolution and President Wilson sends
the treaty back to the senate with a
statement showing his Willingness to
compromise on reservations.

On the other hand, the Republican
leaders have included in their joint

Germany concurs in the action of the

same rights and privileges to America
as would have been gained by the
treaty of Versailles, with reference to
property and trade advantages com
mercial intercourse with Germany will

In other words, congress undertakes
