Decision of Character.

Another advantage of this character
is that it exempts from great deal
of interference and obstructive annoy
ance which an irresolute man may
be almost sure to encounter. Weak
ness in every form tempts arrogance,
and a man may be allowed TO wish for
kind of character with which stupid
ity and impertinence may not make SO
free. When a firm, decisive spirit is rec
ognized, it is curious to see how the
space clears around Il man, and leaves
him room and freedom.

Allies Reply to
Adriafic Note
Supreme Council Drafts
Message, With Millerand
and Lloyd George absent

LONDON, Feb. 26.-The Allied Su-
preme Council to-night dispatched to
Washington its answer to the note Of
President Wilson on the Adriatc ques-
ton, received yesterday. The reply
was completed during to-day's session
Of the council.
The answer to President Wilson was
drafted without the presence Of Pre-
miers Lloyd George and Mllerand.
Mr.. Lloyd George was engaged this
morning in preparing for the Turkish
debate in the House Of Commons this
afternoon. while NJ. Millerand was hur-
riedly called home because of the
French railway strike The premiers
however, already had given their cen
ferees their ideas on the subject.
The council members, it is said, be-
lieve their reply will end the present
controversy. President Wilson'S last
note is represented as having been
written in q conciliatory tone and not
difficult to answer.
The council will take up the ques-
tlon of exchange Tomorrow

time to time advise us Of reconsider
ations by members Of the league Of mn
.,ons which become inapplicable and
the consideration of international CON
dltions whose continuance might en-
danger the peace Of the world. Thus
an essential part Of the treaties of
peace has been the constitution OF
machinery for modifying and correct
ing those treaties themselves where
experience shows It to be necessary.
The governments of France and
1reat Britain, therefore. view with
CONSERVATION the threat of the United
states government to withdraw from
the comfy of nations because it does
not agree with the precise terms of
the Adriatic settlement. The din
Guilty OF reconciling photographic with
other considerations is certainly not
greater in the Adriatic case and does
not produce more anomalous results
than IN the case Of other parts of the
general treaties of peace, difficulties
winch were recognized by President
wilson and his colleagues when thew
agreed to the best settlement practi-
cable at the time because their ma
chinery for peaceful readjustment had
not come into being; also that ethnolo-
glc reasons cannot be the only ones to

stated intervals and air any grievances
they may have toward the management
OF the National Committee or toward
rival managers, all in the interest of
the party as q whole. These confer
ences will begin next week, but it is
understood that the johnson men will
stay way until Senator johnson is fully
satisfied that the National Committee
is not unduly Influenced by Colonel
Thompson, Raymond Robins and Mrs.
Robins and other friends of Colonel
thompson, who supported Colonel
Thompson in his million dollar Rus
sian adventure as some of his friends
call it.
Just why Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Nc
Sween have taken offense at the pol
icy of the National Committee will
doubtless be made known in a formal
statement of some kind within the
next few days. The fact is, however,
that they are offended and will not
take part in conferences with Chair
man Hays over the conduct of the bust
ness of the National Committee until
certain things have been "ironed out"
Meanwhile one of the most sensa-
tional pacts in current politics has been
made by Senator Harding and Senator
Johnson in Ohio, where johnson ia to

second choice for President. The
Wood men have decided to make a
fight in the Ohio primaries for dele
gates to the Chicago convention. This
has suddenly made Ohio the most con-
spicuous political battle-ground of the
entire country.
The friends of Senator Harding be-
lieye that their champion will derive
benefit from the pact in the shape of
votes in the primary, and as for later
complications they will take chance
on Strengthening them out at the con-
vention. The Wood men are making a
straight-out fight for delegates, al
though until this week they were con-
tent to take second place indorse-
ment from the Buckeye voters, on the
theory that Senator Harding cannot
win and that second choice prefer
ence would be morally binding on the
Ohio delegates after they reached the
convention.

and Johnson is understood to have been
sealed this week while Senator johnson

Though the British representatives
saw serious objections to this arrange
ment the British government have not
Thought themselves justified in recon-
sidering on that account their mem
hership in the league Of nations. The
governments of France and Great Brit
ain therefore earnestly trust that
whatever the final view of the United
States government as to the Adriatic
settlement may be they will not wreck
the whole machinery for dealing with
international disputes by withdrawing
from the treaties of 1919 because their
view is not adopted in this particular
case. That would be to destroy the
hopes now entertained by countless
millions of people all over the world
that the most enduring and most ben
eficent part of the treaty Of peace was
the constitution of machinery whereby
the defects OF treaties could be rene
died and that changing conditions and
requirements of mankind could be ad
lusted by processes Of reason and
justice instead of by the balancing Of
armaments and resorts to war.
The governments Of France and
Great Britain cannot believe that it is
the purpose of the American people to
take step so farreaching and terrible
IN Its effects on Il ground which has the
appearance of being so inadequate
