Secretary Of the Navy Daniels. In
All address ut a Democratic club din
ller in New York some days ago. gave
President Wilson credit for originat-
ing the plan Of campaign that finally
scotclled the German submarine and
made possible the landing of the Amer
lean Army, in France and the winning
of the war; He also said in SO many
words that appeal to hyphenated poll
tics during 1918 gave the Republicans
a majority in Congress and that same
majority is now Il gold brick" among
the assets Of the American people.
Thirdly. the League of Nations would
save America and the world from, Il
vast bodybuilding program. 1t was Il
good speech.

PRESIDENTIAL WRATH.

There is nothing that all the Euro
pean nations desire more i'll the way OF
external relations than friendly I'M
derStandins with America. America
holds the purSe-string> and controls
the credit of the world. England Is
especially Jealous to please the people
of this country. and when it seemed
some weeks ago that President Wilson
had been deserted by the people Of his
own country and discredited by the
United States Senate in the matter of
treaty ratification: when most people
thought the President lay dying In the
White House and the Republican ma
jOrity in Congress was already making
appointments over his grave: then Lord
Gray. the British ambassador ut Wash
ington. began counting the new powers
that seemed to he. He Went SO far as
to voice his favor Of reservations" in
the matter of treaty Publications and
wrote further Oh the subject to the
London Times.
The European diplomats also made Il
new ut'iil Will III NuC
affair. without consulting Washington
and in violation of the Versailles
treaty. pending there for ratification.
Mr.. lansing. Secretary Of state. like
wise seemed to think his chief was
done for. and FASTENED to reverse the
well-known Wilson policy in the mat
ter of Mexico.
Greatly to the establishment of all
those mentioned. President Wilson
came back into active life Il few days
ago Within IL week he discharged Mr..
Lansing. took over the Mexican negoti.
ltionS. notified England and France
that the new Adriatic settlement with
Italy did not please him. and gave all
the world to understand that the pro.
posed compromise reservations did not
suit him either.
Already it is clear that Mexico Ii
not to he invaded. that Italy cannot
have Fiume with American acquies
cence. the treaty reservations are .prac
tically dead for the time being. and the
treaty and League still await the pleas
ure of the people.

While the World War ragged the

Is known that Mr. Edison is not strong
Oh Holy Writ. In truth. he il rather
puny in that way: but in this matter
he is pledginy faith in the ultimate
"millenliial dawn with multiplied
promise from science. Mr.. Edison
furthermore defined success" in life
to consist in one finding congenial
vocation and working at it with pleas
ure and therefore with intelligence.
Both of these observations are good.
because they are full of light and con-
tidence in the future Of the race; hut
we are reminded also Of the philOso-
pber who called the man happy who
tackled life eagerly. succeeded in great
measure, and then died before he re-
allied that success was not worth

How the police of Argentina, before

cent general strike here, outwltted

has just been revealed to the Assoc

Radical elements, mostly of for

reign of terror for the same day on
which the Kapp revolution in Ger
many began. If the ambitious plans
of the communists for murder and
pillage had succeeded the city would
have been in control OF govern
ment of the bolshevik soviet variety
backed by red army.
The police. who had learned of the
plot long in advance, however, on the
night before the revolution was to
take place. descended upon the COM
munist resorts. arrested nearly 2oo
men and women and confiscated sew
eral arsenals of bombs. arms and am
munition, together with large guam
titles of anarchistic literature.
secret Circulars Of Instructions.
The government, it developed, sent
detectives among. the communists.
some Of whom joined their organiza-
ton and actually helped to manufac-
ture the bombs with which the reign
of terror was to be started. They
also obtained secret circulars giving
instructions as to how the revolution
was to be accomplished.
The communists. it is alleged.

known as the Fifth Congress of An

control a number Of unions.
