The VETS at San Francisco.

On the subject of prohibition Gov.
Edwards of New Jersey serves this
notice on the Hon. William j. Bryan
and all other democrats whom it may
concern:
81 purpose to carry the fight to San
Francisco regardless of what any man
or set of men may personally think,
so as to bring about popular re-
statement Of the doctrine of state
rights and popular local home rule
upon which our fathers founded this
government"
These words were spoken in New
York last night at dinner given in
honor of Chairman Cummings of the
democratic national committee. Quite
recently, at a dinner given in New
Jersey in honor of Gov. Edwards
Chairman Cummings was a speaker.
What Gov. Edwards and those who
hold with him mediate is the nulli-
fieation in some way of the prohibi-
tion amendment to the Constitution !;
and he is most appropriately the
leader of the movement. He was
elected to his present office last No
vember on wet platform by wet
votes, and in Office is declaring him
self in consonance with the profes-
sions and promises he made as a can
didate. He doubtless had in mind
in that campaign the purpose he now
announces.
Presumably, Gov. Edwards will be
a delegate to the San Francisco con-
vention, and head the New Jersey
delegation. On the floor thus as a
member of the convention, and speak
ing for state delegation, he will be
able to work the more effectively
toward making both platform and
ticket acceptable to the wet interests.
An important point, too, will be the
fact that New Jersey is the Presi-
dents state, and that the Presidents
friends at home. supported Gov. Ed
wards in last years race. Thus, in
way and to degree, the admins
tration will be yoked up with the
governors activities at the national
convention; and the connection will
give to those activities a consequence
they would not of themselves possess,
nor be able to draw from any other
source.
This is something Mr.. Bryan will
have to consider. In convention
duel between himself and Gov. Ed.
wards, the advantage would be with
him, as the more, widely known and
experienced politician. But with
Gov. Edwards speaking for the demo-
Gratis of New Jersey, and as the man
they signally honored as recently as
last November, Mr.. Bryan will have
to be ON his guard, and probably be
obliged to draw upon his reserves.
Prohibition as an issue this year is
coming to the front rapidly; and both
at Chicago and at San Francisco eff
forts will be made by the vets to Sc
cure some expression which later can
be capitalized in national legislation.
Tie movement is taking definite form.

necessary to continue systematic re-
lief through the Associated Charities

working together.
The storm now prevailing has
checked outdoor employment to such
degree that many families, always
maintained without financial margin,
time for giving is now, and the whole
amount required, $4,000 in round
sum, should be forthcoming speedily.
Washington has never yet failed to
respond to the call for assistance, and
it will not do so now.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

A Winter Wish.
Wish / was an Eskimo
1t surely would be nice.
I'd build myself house of snow
And lock the door with ice.
My overshoes would not grab,
And try to nab taxicab;
I would not strive with frivolous feet
To skate on sleet across the street;
If grocerymen forsook the map
I'd eat scrap Of furline wrap;
I'd smash the basement floor and fish
If I should wish a daintier dish.
With furs I'd brave each draft that
blew
Until 1 grew to six feet through;
I'd never get the daily news,
And there peruse the weather news
Wish / was an Eskimo!
Afar from problems great. :,
I'd let the blithering blizzard blow
And simply hibernate!

Germany Refuses.

Cermany refuses TO comply WIN
the demand of the allies for the ex-
tradition of the 900 officers and Off
eials who are accused of specific war
crimes The Berlin government bases
this refusal upon repeated demurrers
entered against that clause of the
treaty which provides for the sur
render of these persons for trial and
pleads inability to comply. While re-
pudiating Baron Won Lersner's refusal
to transmit the list of the accused
TO Berlin. Germany holds that having
signed the treaty under duress, with
specific exception to this clause, the
impossibility of compliance must be
accepted by the allies as Justification
for the present reputation.
The question now arises whether
there is any way to compel Germany
TO yield these persons for trial. If,
as Noske says. no power exists i'll Ger
many to arrest and transport them
out of the country. can the allies
themselves enter Germany and take
them! To do so would be to renew
the war. To yield to Germany, how
ever, in this respect would be dan
gerous as an inducement for her to
attempt other evasions and breaches
of the treaty.
French troops are on the left bank
of the Rhine, and they may remain
there indefinitely if the German gov
ernment does not comply with the
present request. France, however, is
much more concerned. it is stated, in
the fulfillment of the material re-
placement provisions of the treaty, es-
pecially in regard to coal than in the
punitive clause. Just at present a
feeling is reported as prevailing in
Paris that it is better not to press the
punishment demand to such an ex-
tent as to menace the suspension of
coal deliveries and other restorations
from Germany
a way out of the difficulty has been
suggested to this effect: If Germany
refuses to grant extraditiOn the ae-
eused persons should be prescribed
and forever barred from allied eoun-
tries under pain. of arrest and trial.
They could, of course, travel in neu-
trail countries with the same immu-
nifty as that now enjoyed by the ex-
kaiser in Holland. Unless the United
States ratifes the peace treaty and
subseribes to the demand for extradi-
ton they also might come here.
1t is possible to sympathize with
the German governments position in
this matter without lessening in any
degree the feeling that these persons
accused should be in. some way pun
ished for their effenses against the
laws of humanity and the laws of
war. Perhaps the case is not quite
as bad as German officials have stated,
but it is evident that any German ad-
ministration yielding to the allied de-
mand for the persons of these 900 ac-
eused would be Immediately menaeed
with an overturn. This puts up to the
allies the question of whether it is
better to insist upon extradition and
possibly preeipitate a monarehieal or
a radical reaction in Germany or to
be content with the presentation of
the demand and the prescription of
the accused. A decision may be
reached in Paris at an interallied
meeting. postponed from this morn
ing. owing to the delay of the British
representatives..
