Here is real divinity of kings; their
power from God alone
Is derived, and saintliness the hab-
itation of their throne,
Power that to the Wanting Stuart's
sceptered sway was never
known.
There is one who walks among US
in sweet majesty and grace,
Living for the King OF Glory there
is glory in his face;
King and priest to God our Father.

Lovely in his life of love, and in

Heightened be your happy. holy

President Wilson did and were known
to be against a League Of Nations.
The course of the Senate majority
since that time has been wholly con-

THE REyOLUTION IN GERMANY.


Last week the military party overs
threw the governmental Germany, by
marching an army into Berlin and
ejecting the Ebert government officials
from the public buildings. For time
it looked as though Germany had re-
turned to monarchical form of gov
eminent, and that some member OF
4 the Kaiser's family would be called to
the throne. But the monarchists
seem to have overlooked the power OF
the labor unions, and the effect OF
their refusal to work under a govern
ment rested upon guns and bayonets.
"A general strike has been ordered,
!. and the military party is not strong
/ enough to compel the laboring masses
to do Its bidding.
The effect of this overturn in Ger
many has created bad condition for
the allies. The republic may not be
! completely overthrown. The Ebert
government may return to power. or
/, to a limited power that will not en-
able it to fully comply with the terms
OF the Peace Treaty.
The action OF this country in refus-
Ing to ratify the Treaty has certainly
encouraged the enemies Of the treaty
and helped to embarrass the govern
ment that was honestly .endeayoring
I to make good its agreements.

PLAYING POLITICS WITH PEACE.
New York World. y


New York Worldly
The Senate Republicans under the
leadership OF Henry Cabot Lodge never
intended to ratify the treaty Of Yer
sailles. They have been engaged for
the last eight months in trying to
& make a treaty Of their own.
They never intended to ratify the
covenant Of The League OF Nations.
They have been engaged in framing a
new covenant in which the United
States was to be privileged partner
in the League, participating in the
benefits but recognizing no obligations
no duties, no responsibilities.
They have never intended to agree
upon any reservations that would be
acceptable to President Wilson. Their
policy has been to mutilate the treaty
in order to compel the President to
reject it, and then throw the blame on
him.
The campaign against the treaty be-
gan more than year ago when thirty
seven Republican senators signed a
round robin declaring it to be the
sense of the senate" that the con-
stitutiOn of the League Of Nations in
the form now proposed to the Peace
Conference should not be accepted by
the United States" No amendments
were suggested by these Senators and
no constructive suggestion ever en-
anate from them.
A few days later, in the course Of the
debate between Senator Lodge and
President Lowell of Harvard, Presi-
dent Lowell submitted two questions
Z 70 the Senator:
/. II the covenant were amended
as you wish, would you vote for
It?
2. Will you formulate and send
to the proper quarters the amend
ments you wish made?
Senator Lodge lodged both Ques-
lions. In reply to the first he said:
hope we shall have q league in
proper form, properly prepared,
free from doubts, excluding that
which ought to be excluded.
hope 1t will be done-done some
where before the end is reached.
II Is my belief It will be done
somewhere, and not in Paris.
Even year ago Senator Lodge was
giving notice that nothing could be
done in Paris would be acceptable to
him. It was not acceptable, Of course
because Woodrow Wilson was helping
to do 1t.
In reply to the second question Sem
ator Lodge was equally evasive:
President Lowell asked me why
did not draw up amendments
that I thought necessary and send
them to Paris. happen to be a
Senator OF the United States. I
cannot speak with authority Of the
Senate.
AS Senator he could sign the round
'obin declaring that the covenant as
should not be ratified, but as
Senator he could not say how it
ught to be amended.

,fttee on Foreign Relations was back n
