left our associates doubtful OF
our future support and enormbusly
encouraged the enemy in their eff
forts to evade their Just deserts.
But to add the final confusing touch
to our apparent desertion of all for
which we fought, the Senate has
adopted the Knox peace resolution,
which declares the state Of war
with Germany to be technically at.
an end, but reserves all questions
of dispute between the two nations
for settlement by a treaty to be
negotiated later. OF all the futile,
foolish plans, this deserves the
palm. 1t definitely gives notice to
our former allies that we have re-
pudiated and deserted them and
leaves us in "a position in which
we can only ask, or beg, terms from
the nation our armies brought to
its knees on November IL. 1918.
We have definitely lost all right to
demand, as victors, any Of the
rights or benefits gained by many
months of conflict and suffering.
That which would have been easily
and speedily safeguarded by the
ratification of the Versailles treaty,
is now lost by the adoption of the
Knox resolution.
In the meantime the German
cabinet has resigned as a result OF
the Allied refusal of their last pro-
posal and an ultimatum has been
sent to Berlin fixing May IL as the
limit of time given in which to ac-
cept the terms of the Allies. II the
Germans refuse to take action. the
French will occupy the Ruhr Basin
with their military forces.
The only CLEAN Of hope in the
situation is the announcement that
the President has decided to adopt
another of Wilson's much maligned
policies and will send unofficial rep
resentatives to the Allied Council.
The responsibilities of Office GER
tainly show many a successful can
didate the folly of his prediction
tactics of criticism and. obstruction
Give the President time and he may
get right, and our international
honor be saved. But what a sorry
spectacle we have had so far of the
results of blind partisanship!

OFF AGAIN, on AGAIN

The proposition made by Ger
many, through President Har-
ding, that the total to be paid by
her as reparations be placed at
s4S,O0d, 100000 instead OF the
$50. OOO, 900, 900 fixed by the Allied
Council, has been refused.
If the German counter-proposal
had been sincere. either in letter or
spirit il would have deserved the
careful consideration of the Allied
statesmen, as the amount of in
demnity suggested was for the first
time, within the bounds of reason.
But the world has seen so much OF
German stalling, haggling and gem
eral duplicity that their latest offer
was regarded as merely another
desperate effort TO stave on the day
OF Just and final retribution. AS to
the Presidents part in these nego-
tiations. he has been. apparently,
actuated by a sincere desire TO
bring about peace. but has been led
by the Unsuitable Wilson-haters

bungling methods. The action OF

AIRY between her former allies and
the Hun, just on the eve Of the hnal

We very much fear that Friend
Fluke is doomed TO cruel fate as
a result of his trusting the editorial
pen to a substitute while he basked
in the sunshine OF Grassy. When

first feminine jury get through ex-
pressing their appreciation of his
subs '"Solomon's harem" article,
the charms of down the river"

The people want news. We will

PRINTING IN GENEVA

first number of it's International La- bor Review. Besides there must be reckoned in the occasional issue of studies and reports, as we'll as the Photographic service, the legislative service, etc.
 Some of the material is of un- doubted value. But the larger part of 1t would be, we believe, considered by disinterested judges waste of paper and ink. Take the first issue of the International Labor Review. Its 150 pages contain an intolerable amount of padding, such as an article by Professor Commons aiready printed In the United States, useless tables showing the metric and British sys- tems of weights and measures" the value of the dollar and the pound in foreign currencies, and much other superfluous matter. It is, of course, in telligible that the International Labor office should seek to magnify it's im- portance and display evidence of great activity. But it is plain that there ought to be some restraint on it's pas sion for filling the world with it's publications. Already there has been too costly. A big saving in it's print ing bills could be made to the advan- tage of all concerned.

 W printing business. Switzerland has been the refuge of war exiles of many nationalities and 1t would seem that nearly all of them feel moved from time to time to issue to the world brochures of defenses. of protest, of appeal of propaganda. Newspaper and, we presume. other offices have been inundated by pamphlets of this sort bearing a Swiss imprint. The publishers in Geneva and Lausanne are perfectly impartial They will take an order from an Armenian one day and from a Turk the next. Ready to print in either French, English or German, they have developed an enor- nous output.
 From no single source, however, has there come such mass of printed pages as from the international labor office at Geneva This branch of the League of Nations has shown amania for getting into type. Its range of publications has been wide, and con stantly is being extended. There was, to begin with. its weekly Official Bulletin. To this was soon added the Daily Intelligence Now comes the

--e'------------------- THE EXCHANGING WORLD

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The year Is 1921 A. D. Wireless an- tennae drape the roofs of skyscrapers. ghost flicker across the silver sheets in thousands of temples erected to the new cult, filmolatry. One may taxi to the postoffice and deposit therein a letter or a parcel to be delivered by an airplane flying more rapidly than any magic carpet of Bagdad. It Is an age of practical, hard-headed magic in- corporated for millions and with boards of directors.
 And yet in South Clark street win dow is display of paraphernalia for the old fashioned kind of magic, which still appears to be flourishing. One may buy crystal globe for all the way from s2.5O to $25O, and with it peer distractly into the future. One may purchase a leather bound volume, printed on velium, that will unlock all of natures royal arcana and enable the raising of the dead by charms and incantations. For paltry s5 one may penetrate the past and the future in company with an adept of the far east, with a photograph in costume to prove it. The frontispiece of one of the books shows magician in the act of con- turing up the shades from the graves in which pious hands have laid them to rest. All of the books are garbed more stylishly and more expensively than Goethe, Flaubert, Tolstoi, Maeter- linck, France or even Shakespeare ap- pear to be able to afford.
 And there must be buyers, for the display dwindles. This is still the year 1 as well as 1921.

Annual Convention
 of Bar Association

of Bar Association
 7f1HE Alabama Bar association,
 U which is holding its annual meeting in Birmingham, is composed of men who are distinguished in one of the most useful and honorable pro- fessions.
 Ever since it's organization the bar association has chosen it's members with care and has maintained an ex- ceptionally high standard. To be a member of the association is an evil dence of success in the practice of law in Alabama. There are about 500 members, and it is estimated that there are between 1,500 and 2,0O0 lawyers in the state.
 No other profession requires more zeal, integrity and intelligence in winning advancement. Some of the greatest men the nation has ever pro- duced were lawyers, and some of the most prominent figures in the na- tional life of today belong to this pro- fession. The fact that so many law yers have played notable roles in American history and contributed ma terially to shaping the nations des- tiny should be a source of pride to veteran members of the legal fra ternity and an inspiration to young lawyers who have not yet won their spurs.
 Birmingham is sensible of the honor of being permitted to act as hostess to the Alabama Bar association two years in succession and would be glad to have it hold every convention here.
