Woods Foolish Tongue.

General Wood Is displaying undue
eagerness 10 further his campaign for
the Republican nomination fer President.
While still an officer, Of high ccmnland
in active service IN the United States
army, be is talking like ward politician
in his public utterances, and saying
things that would be urbccoming IN an
ordinary political heeIer. And as he IS no
orator, and decidedly unirnrressive
sneaker at best. his crude and impobtic
utterances are entirely at variance with
what the country has right to expect
from one who aspircs to its highest oaice.
In an address before the American
Legion in Boston, Sunday, General Wood,
according 10 the published report of the
affair. IN calling for larger navy said Of
the NAVY as constituted tcday 1T rs not

Preparedness is General Woods

he is seldom heard from on any other
subject But while this question IS one Of
importance, there is nothing in the condi-
ton OF our navy today that warrants any
one calling it ''death-trap," much less
general high in command Of our army
Such talk Is derogasory to our entire
navv, especially 50 in view Of its recent
notable accomplishments.
At present there does not seem, fortu-
nate!y for the country, much probability

nomination for President And if he COT

PRESS COMME MT.
RUSSIAN RECOGNITION.

We must whit for the details Of the
agreement Mt Paris To determine how far
the trade arrangement with the Russian
co-operatives falls short Of recognition
of the Lenine government. On the face of
the report the scheme is not unlike the
abortive Nansen scheme of last winter for
feeding the Russian people. That plan
failed because theSoviet government would
not consent to Allied supervision Of food
transport, which meant supervision OF
the railroads at a time when the civil war
was hot.
That condition has disappeared. The
railroads of no, ,thcrn Russia IN particular
are not needed for military operations.
II Is conceivable that Lcnine, that practi-
cal statesman, may have consented to
some scheme of Allied super vision des-
tined to provide that the commodities
sold TO the co-cperatIves do not reach
the Red army. Lenine may consent, be-
cause, in the first place, such IN Allied
stipulation would be now largely matter
of form. When trade goes ON with en-
entire people it Is impossible to supply the
civilian without in some measure strength
ening the army. But even to such precau-
tions Lenine might consent, for the simple
reason that the Red army is now self
sustaining. It has possession OF the food
6nU fuef OF southern fitSslb anu tHit'es'a.
The Russian co-opcratives were from
the first anti-RoIshevist and, on the
basis Of such information as we have,
arestill anti BoiShevist, though submitting
to the Soviet rule, Fairly in Lenines regime
the attempt was made to bring the CO
operatives under Soviet control, but
the move failed. We cannot tell now
how far the co-operatlyes have, IN some
form of client truce been merged into the
Soviet scheme of government. And sn IT II
difficult at the present moment to say
how far recognition of the cooperative
gees towards recognition Of Lcnine, IN
fact If not in forsn. The initial gain IN
preetigr is {, rta;niy on Lenine's side. But
the Soviet problem Is one that must be
dealt with on the basis Of hard facts aud
to the exclusion Of considerations of
sentiment Lenine my be welcome to hls
pre- tige il the Allied world can gst into
touch with the sane clements Of the Rus
sian people With RGssia open. Lenine
is open TO searching examina ton OF the !
actualities on Soviet rule.-New York /

The Persersencss of Lodge.

Having frankly acknowledged that his
attitude of hostility to the Peace Treaty
and the League of Nations Covenant
is largely based upon his purpose of
fighting President Wilson," anu ex-
pressed his willingness to have the Treaty
and Covenant made the leading issue In
this years political campaign, why should
not Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts give
evidence of the courage of his convictions
by coming forth as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for President.
Surely, as the leader IN the United States
Senate of what he deems great cause, he
should aspire TO the chief championship
of that cause before the country.
Thus far, however, Senator Lodge has
not made any intimation of purpose to
seek the Republican nomination. Nor
can il be said that any of the Republican
leaders have intimatcd desire that the
recalcitrant Senator from Massachusetts,
shall be the chosen leader of the party in
this years campaign. The party in his
home State has made no move in bis
support, but on the contrary ,s giving
active encouragement 10 another Massa-
chusetts citizen, Governor Coolidge And
the Republican State Committee OF
Massachusetts while extendirg & to Senator
Lodge the empty compliment OF sn
Endorsement OF his course, voted for
approval Of the ratif cation of the Treaty
Of Peace, which Lodge bitterly Opposes.
II is apparent. therefore, that Senator
Lodge, the Treaty Killer" knows his
attitude is not approved by the voters Of
his party. or by the country. Why, there
fore, should he continue, so blindiy and so
vIciously, his opposition TO the Treaty
and the Covenant. the ratif Of

away from the grip of war. and taking

This Job of chief Of staff scorns 10 he
the only berth thst would suit the rank
of general. Quite naturally Pershing s
mentioned for 1t. IL s already snugIy
e.. March, who is sir feet three in heipht
and descendant Of the family Of Wasb-
ington. March has something Of . rspu-
tation as holder down. He was eent
home from France with the approval Of
Pershing, on WHOSE staff h. served as
artillery chief, and IL is unde1Btood that
the commander Of oyerseas forces was
quite sstisfed with the cooperation be
received. II March ~ satisfactory as
chief Of staff is If fair To remove him and
to give General PershiDg his job7
General Pershing and General March
met the other night ut reception in
Washington. Their greeting was cordial,
and General Pershing produced news
paper clipping from his pocket. The clip
ping dwelt at length upon the friction
between the two March asked Pershing
If he had suffered much Inconvenience
becsuxe Of that friction and the man from
overseas chuckIe and said: Not set"
But If the chief Of staff takes pro-
cetieBce over sii other officers In the army,
and If General March Is denoted 20
brigndier-genersl on June 30, in accor-
dance with the present plan, 3 brigs fier-
general would out,ank full general,
which IS impossible. 80 there is nice
kettle Of fish.
Congress has shown q pronounced ten
dency 70 favor Pershing end TO deny
March recognition. II voted down the
proposal TO make March general %
equal rank with Peshing. Nov there Is
. bin in Congress which proposes 70 legis-
inte Pershing into tho position Of chief
of staff. Assurediy there is much in all
of this which might well prejudice these
gentlemen esrh against the Other. So
far, however, there is no evidence II peeY-
ishncss on either side.
Those who krow hira web doubt Il
pershing wants tn be chief 0f staff. He
has been the fruan on horseback riding

for three years. He has been the man Of
