HOUSE BEGS FOR FRANCE

From Ne Pittsburg Dispatch.
 . Col E. NJ. House reappears in public to present a signed statement pleading with the great nations to make Trance safe, solicitation that would be unnec- essary if the powers and France could find a common ground. The world con cedes the necessity for the permanent security of France but refuses to af- firm all the terms demanded, since the complete programme would thrust at the security of other nations. Colonel House is correct that other countries cannot look upon European conditions through French eyes and that France cannot view her political and geograph- ical situation through the eyes of other nations. That need not be a reason why France should be provided with ex- traordinary safeguards which in their operation might produce the very perils against which France desires to be made secure,
 Colonel Houses view thsk the powers should give France whatever she asks may meet with disappointment. The French doubtless feel that their coun- try should be protected beyond all
 doubt against any future military demonstration, but until her continental friends and neighbors are sure that ambitions are not stronger than fear the claim has little chance for support

- Great Achievement in Army Consolidation

7NHE democratic administration
 ll not only created matchless army and navy in record time and cared for both in a way not hereto fore dreamed of in the history of na- tions, but it demobilized that great army with dispatch that leaves no room for criticisms
 Records show that more than 65,- 900 more officers and men were dis charged during the first 12 weeks of the recent demobilization than were discharged from the Union army dur ing the entire Civil war demobiliza- tion period of one and one-half years; more than twice the Civil war num- Der within the first six months and more than three times the Civil war number within the first eight and a half months.
 This army was brought back from across the seas and each man was physically seen to before demo- bilization. The same efficiency was shown in dismissing the army as in creating and carrying it safely across the 5000 miles of the Atlantic ocean. We are too close to the World war for it's history to be written correctly now. When this history is written the army record of the Wilson ad- ministration will stand out as one of the greatest achievements of all wars.

MILLIONAIRES FEWER IN 1918. rom fhe Rrooklvn Eagle


 According to the just-completed fig ures of the internal revenue depart- ment, this country had 20,9A million laires in 1918, or 5,246 less than the year before. And the number of twenty millionaires" was reduced from 141 to 67. These terms produce confusion. Any man who returned an income of between s4O,000 and $50, 900 for a given year was a millionaire" in official par lance. Any man who returned an in- lionnaire." Of course, in most cases he was nothing of the sort. His income sprang from stimulated business, not from accumulated capital.
 But even with this qualification an essential one, the figures for 1918 are interesting, perhaps i1luminative. In 1914, for us a pre-war year, the men who paid taxes on $1,000, 900 income were 50 in number. In 1915 they were 120 just doubled. In 1916 they were 2o6. But in 1917 they had fallen to Al, and in 1918 to 67. The returns for 1919, not yet available, will almost certainly show a further drop.
 In other words, the World war be- fore the United States went into it was remarkably fruitful in big incomes. But the years when we were actually in the war meant drop in the top rank of from 20S to 67. That is food for reflection.

 It has been said that there are more reformers to the square mile in Amer lea than anywhere else in the world. That may be true, but there is com fort in the thought that, in spite of our fault, we are a reasonably be- haved people and the evils that cry out to heaven for amendment are seldom as great or as universal as they ap- pear to the good, but sometimes mis- guided, men and women who are the self-appointed guardians of the straight and narrow way.

English Clergyman Challenges
 the Militant Prohibitionists

~ MUGGLING liquor into prohibi- ID tion territory, in defiance of the law, was sanctioned by Dean Inge of St. Pauls London, in a lecture de- livered at Kings college.
 He is quoted as saying, Suppose ''the state exceeds its rights by pro- hibiting some harmless act such as the consumption of alcohol. Is snug gling in such case morally justifia- ,ble? I should say yes. Interference |of the state in such matters is mere impertinence."
 It is fortunate for the gloomy dean," as he is known i'll England, that considerable extent of salt water separates him from the militant prohibitionists of America. Even in England there are many prohibition ists who must have raised their hands in horror at such statement coming from the pulpit and then proceeded to write letters to the 'Trimes" about it.
 Were it possible to bolster up the dying cause of John Barleycorn by such eminent authority, American s'wets" would lose no time in getting the deans remarks into current cir culation. But it is not likely that they would have much effect on "bone- dry" America. So far as we are con- cerned, the question is settled and if Dean Inge, despite his alleged pessim- ism, is the type of clergyman who enjoys his glass of wine and regards any interference with that indulgence on the part of the state as "mere im- pertinence," he will probably be gath cred to his fathers long ere Pussy foot" Johnson and his cohorts suc- ceed in making England dry.

 6f7HIs country is confronted with an
 immigration issue of an over
 S whelming and unparalleled char acter. That there is far-reaching con- spiracy to force on this country hordes of 'assisted'' undesirables, criminals and rascals, to say nothing of those whose social or industrial competency is open to grave suspicion, Is admitted by gov ernment officials over here and confirmed by foreign governments and our own agents on the other side. Anthony Cami- netti, commissioner general of irnmigra- tion, has gone abroad to study the situ- ation. and his first assistant, the com- missioner of immigration at Ellis Island, MT. Wallis, has uttered sharp warning. He predicts an influx of 100000 from Gel many, Italy and Holland alone within the next five years. Though he by no means claims that all this immigration is necessarily of an unassimilable char acter he says very flatly: Unless we restrict and unless we better the lot or those we accept-for an anarchist can be made in day at Ellis Island-there will be terror and widespread crime m all our large cities in the very near fu- ture." & a

 General Obregon, who will be inaugu- rated as President on December l. is practical business man of the conserve tive type.

| Plans for Uplifting

 T1NHE reformers are planning drive

 Brother Wilbur F. Crafts, superin- tendent of the bureau, distributed for publication in the American press a resume of the situation which is lit- tie short of appalling. Brother Crafts discerns Clark clouds both in the backward look and the forward look that should be painted as black as they really are, without fear or favor"
 We have slipped from the pinnacle to which we climbed during the World war. Nearly everybody comedies that in respect to our prestige among na- tions, but have we descended as far as Brother Crafts would have us be- lieve in personal morality? Profiteer- ing, wholesale violations of the prohi- bition law, apathy among the churches, revival of gambling and pugilism, the ever-present social evil and the "sex appeal" which has reached shocking extremes, owing tc dress, the movies and one thing and another; vampires divorce and drug addiction are some of the evils touched upon.
