COBLENz ARMY
COST IS HIGH
HOWEVER, FIGURES ARE NOT
OVER A MILLION A DAY AS
STATED BY REPRESENTATIVE
KAHN.
By GEORGE Il. MANNING.

Washington, d. c., April 23.-The
cost OF maintaining the American
army detail of about 1880 officers and
men at Coblenz, Germany, is not ST.
100000 day, as stated by Chairman
Kahn in the house last Wednesday, but
$4,000 day, Secretary of War Baker
asserts in a letter to Mr.. Kahn to-
day.
During the discussion of the army
appropriation bill in the house Chair
man Kahn stated that it cost 1920
900 a day to maintain the American
army guarding the bridgehead at Co
blenz and the plebiscitary area in up
per Silesia that this guard must be
maintained ten years under the treaty
with Germany, and that America must
stand this cost because Germany is not
living up to her treaty obligations,
which require Germany to pay for
maintenance of the American forces
in her territory.
Eng land has a force of $4,000
at the Cologne bridgehead to remain
five years if the treaty is lived up to,
il was brought out in the debate, and
the French have a much larger force
at the Mayence bridgehead to remain
Is years.
Secretary Baker wrote to Chairman
Kahn calling his attention to the err
ror, and saying that the Chairman's
assertion was based on the army OF
100000 American officers and men
maintained at CoblenDe from December
/, 1918, to March, 1919. The detailshas
now been reduced to 1880 and costs
about $4,000 a day. Secretary Baker
said.
Chairman Kahn said he thought the
prospect of the United States being
recouped for the expense very remote.

LEAGUE AND VANoUlSHED

THE intimation that Germany and
- Austria are to be asked for testi-
mony in the international financial con-
ference to be held under the auspices Of
the League of Nations in Brussels on
September "a has given rise to the i'm
preston that the admission of these
wo countries into the society of govern
ments will not be deferred SO long as it
was originally thought.
The sooner the world grows accus
toned to this idea the brighter will be
the prospects for really durable peace.
Arguments for n considerable period of
probation have, of course, their validity.
Germany has plainly sought to squirm
out Of her treaty obligations. She will
bear watching. But it must not be for
gotten that the essence of the league
plan, the primal feature which is urged
to offset charges of a dominating mill
tary alliance, is its contemplated uni
versatility.
As a league member Germany would
be under the intimate scrutiny of her
associates. 1t is worth remembering
that were all nations we'll behaved there
would be no need for an international
partnership. 1t is the black sheep that
have made the league so necessary.

HoNoRS FOR EVANGELlNE

EvANGELINE, who is supposed to
- be buried in this city. lies in an
unmarked grave. The Nova SCotans,
however, are not ncglecting her. They
have recently unveiled statue Of her in
park at Grand Pre- near the place
from which the Acadians were ban
ishcd. The statue is of bronze and it
represents the young woman as about to
set out on her long wandering. \ large
company of distinguished Canadians
was present at the unvciling to do honor
to the young woman, who would have
been forgotten if it had not been for an
American poet.
One need not be too critical of the
historical inaccuracies in the poem. 1t
is priced for its romance rather than as
historical document. But il is in
teresting to note that Christ Church had
not been built at the time of Evan
geline's first visit to this city described
in this way:
Distant and soft on her ear fell the
chimes from the belfry Of Christ
Church,
While intermincled with these across the
meadows were waited
Sounds of psalms that were sung by the
Swedes in their church at Wicaco.

is to belittle the party distinctions, per-
haps because the party differences have
largely broken down, and to ask the
people to elect their representatives be-
cause they can be depended on to favor
one class of the community against an
other class 1t would be unfortunate II
the old parties should break up into
class groups, with manufacturers in
one group. factory operatives in an
other, Wall street bankers in a third,
and railroad workers in fourth, and
stock raiscrs in fifth. and general
farmers in sixth, and cotton growers
in a seventh. and school teachers in IN
eighth. and SO on through the long list
of different interests. If this should
happen. which is not at all likely, we
should have to devise some new method
of apportioniug the congressman so that
all interests might be represented. Under
the present method the school teachers
would find it impossible to elect Il con-
gresham unless all of them in the state
moved into a single district.
Perhaps It will be just us we'll for us
to forget all about the little lists and
the class interests they represent and
