A CASE IN POINT.

While demonstrating the need OF
an international association to pro-
mote peaceful adjustment OF contro-
versies. that French expedition into
Germany furnishes an acute illustra-
ton OF the dangers of militarism.
France had the troops ready. When
1t was conceived that Germany was
departing from the terms of the
treaty. these were hurled across the
border without much regard for the
or dences. There are possibilities
o gravest sort OF complications
as result. President Wilson's in
situation of militarism made against
France seems amply borne out by the
circumstance. 1t is not inconceivabie
that the world may again weller In
blood before the matter Is adjusted.
The militarist spirit reasons In
terms of force. It strikes first and
discusses the situation afterward.
That is what Germany did In 1914,
and that is what France does In
1920. That Is the policy Senator
Wadsworth and others want to adopt
for the United States. With mill
tarist administration in power the
French incident would probably be
copied as a precedent for dealing
with Mexico.
We are glad to note, however. that
congress is standing like adamant
against the persistent wheeling OF
the militarists. The country is tired
of war and congress knows IT, Fur~
thermore, congress knows that there
Is no other nation In position seri-
ously to menace the country. Infer
entially. 1t suggests patience and for
bearance even with Mexico. before
dumping an army across her borders.
II would probably recommend the
same plan to France and Germany.
But with a restless army at call. 1t
is much easier to start trouble than
to compose It.
French and Germans DO not IKE
each other. with the most fortunate
settlement Of the present clash which
is possible, they will not like each
other any better. II 10 most deplor-
able from every viewpoint. France
wants the support OF other nations
