HARDING AND THE TREATY.
indianapolis News.)

II is said in the current dispatches to be the
present purpose OF Preselect Harding to repudiate
in its entirety the Versailles treaty, declare peace
with Germany through congressional resolution,
and then undertake negotiate commercial treaty
with Germany. in this there is nothing surprising,
much that is deplorable What really is surprs
ing ia that Sen. Harding should give such grea.
weight TO the counsel of the militia colonel, George
Harvey. IL is incomprehensible that he should turn
from such Root. Taft and Hughes, and those
numerous pro-league republicans who supported
him. and asked others support him the
ground that the best chance for the league lay in
the election Of Harding. which they assured their
countrymen would assure and guarantee
trance into the league. In Mr.. Smalrs dispatch OF
yesterday was this:
George Harvey spent two weeks with the
president-elect at Marion recently and poured
his daily hymn of hate for the treaty
and all its works.
Was ever militia colonel set on high? After
having served valianty the stats of Gov. Green
and Albeit of New Jersey and Cows Hayward AMI

we should like 10 think solely b. his appoint
ment of the president-elect Sen. Harding has the
best of authority that OF former Prest Taft for
the belief that peace with Germany can be
made by congressional resolution-that there Will
have 10 be a treaty. and not simply a commercial
treaty. But the militia colonel. who was not even
republican till after his break with Pres't Wilson.
the militia colonel with his hymn Of hate, has thus
far apparently prevailed
II is greatly TO be hoped that when the burden
and responsibility OF government fall the shout
ders of the president, he will realize the ser
iousness of the situation and clearly that this
great world issue not be dealt with on the
basis of partSanship or personal hate. This ma
ought this moment be supporting the al

Ly authority Of the Versailles treaty Germany is
stronger and the allies weaker by reason OF non

on the enforcement OF this Harvey-hated treaty.

UNCLE SAM TO MISS ITALY.

Incident to developments anent the disarmament
controversy. somebody has suggested, and with a
deal OF merit, that Uncle Sam ought to sit down
and write a letter 10 our European friend, Italy.
And the letter, he says. should something like
this:
Dear Italy: Ny hired man. Newton Baker,
who helped you not little during your late
war, tells that you maintaining the
largest military force in the world. That you
have the biggest army. regular and reserve, bar
none. He finds that YOU are leading the process
sion OF the worlds miitarists You spending
this year 1.s12. 900, 900 lire your army That's
something like S660,0OO,000 at present rate OF
exchange.
Pretty stiff BILL isn't it. old friend?
Yes. I know you may think this is none Of
my business. but
Another hired man of mine, Dave Houston.
has been going books and finds that
you still owe a billion and half OF dollars.
He saws you claim that you cant pay even the
interest what you me. That interest
is riling high the millions Of dollars.
I'm not a iint-hearted man, and I'm willing
to give you plenty Of time to pay what YOU owe.
I'm willing to pass over interest payments If
that will help you get your financial feet.
I'm willing to do anything 1 to help you,
but
deeper and deeper into the mire. AS long
YOU keep up your mad militarism you never
can get out Of debt Think it over
You owe Great Britain. You owe France You
owe everybody who would lend you money when
you needed it badly.
II may be that your militarists want a huge
army. If so. let them help you pay your debts
FIRST, and then, talk the army thing with
them.
man who can't pay his debts-who can't
pay the interest due them-OUght to
avoid extravaganza. The same holds good for

Which puts the situation forward quite directly
as it is Some similar things might be said to Eng
land and France well, though perhaps not SO
emphatically. This armament question, however. is
largely the outgrOwth OF world suspicions-and
while writing to Italy. and the other pow
ers, maybe II would be we'll for to remember too
that have contributed full share TO the main
tenance Of those suspicious. We the one great
power in all the earth to repudiate the confidence
that the world had set out through the League OF
Nations to establish and upon which disarmament
to be founded. italy could write very Iert
answer that letter, that might sting Uncle
sam quite badly a letter from him, like tbs
one above reproduced, might sting italy.

THE RETURN
AT YULETIDE

~ HRISTMAS comes and the old world
III turns
~ Fondly back to its fairy days
Days that saw Him whose splendor burns
Bright through eras of murk and maze;
Back to the Star whose speaking rays
Wise men spied as it beckoned them
Over Judea's winding ways
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem
Christmas comes, and the old heart goes
Gayly back to the dear days past
Days whose breath of the budding rose
Scents the years that have followed
fast;
Back to the Star whose spell was cast
Over young eyes and dazzled them,
Filling rapt youth with a wonder vast
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas comes and the old faith lives.
Summoned back from the days gone
by
Days begemmed with the joy that gives
Mortals balm for their sob and sigh;
Back is the Star in the smiling sky,
Pilgrims haste as it urges them
On to the haven ever nigh
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem!
Christmas! come, when the world shall go
Bounding back to the best of days
Days when He in a manger low
Sages charmed into prayer and praisei
Back to the Star whose speaking rays
All men spy as it beckons them
Over Judea's winding ways
Back to the Babe of Bethlehem

Her snow shoe had been cracked by
her fall of the day before, when run
ming to the fire, and whether she
struck some other obstruction in the
snow, or whether the cracked wood
had simply given way under her
weight, mattered not even enough for
them to investigate. AS in all great
disasters, only It's result remained.
The result In tbs case was that her
snowshoe, WITH ,nt w'ssich she could not
walk at all j.. the Flow, was irrepara-
bly, broken.

But no one answered him. The girl,
white-faced, kept her wide eyes on
Dan. He seemed to be peering into the
shadows beside the TRAIL as II he we're
watching for the gray forms that now
and then gllded from tree to tree. In
reality, he was not looking for wolves.
He was gazing down into his own soul.
measuring his own spirit for the trial
that lay before him.
The girl, unable to step with the
broken snowshoe, rested her weight on
one foot and hobbled like a bird with
broken wings across to him. No sight
of all this terrible journey had been
more dreadful In her fathers eyes
than this. 1t seemed to split open
the strong heart of the man. She
touched her hand to his arm.
"1'm sorry, DAN" she told him. "You
tried so hard"
Just one little sound broke from his
throat--a strange, deep gasp that
could not be suppressed. Then he
caught her hand In his and kissed it,
again and again. do you think care
about that?" he asked her. 81 only

But as the hours passed, II became
increasingly difficult to forget the wolf
pack. 1t was only matter of turning
the head and peerlng for an instant
into the shadows to catch glimpse
of one of the creatures. Their usual
fear of men, always their first emo
ton. had given way wholly to a hunt
ing cunning an effort to procure their
game without too great risk of their
own lives. In the desperation Of their
hunger they could not remember such
things as the fear of men. They
spread out farther, and at last Dan
looked up to find one Of the gray
beasts waiting, like shadow himself,
In the shadow Of tree not one hun
bred feet from the sled. Snowbird
whipped out her pistol.
Don't darew Dams voice cracked
out to her He didn't speak loudly; yet
the words came so sharp and com
manding, so like pistol fire itself, that
they penetrated into her consciousness
and choked back the nervous reflexes
that in an instant might have lost
them one of their three precious shells,
She caught herself with sob. Dan
shouted at the wolf, and 1t melted into
the shadows.
"Y0u won't do 1t again, Snowbird?"
he asked her very humbly. But his
meaning was clear. He was not as
skilled with pistol as she; but If her
nerves were breaking, the gun must
be taken from her hands. The three
shells must be saved to the moment of
utmost need.
NO" she told him, looking straight
into his eyes. II won't do 1t again"
He believed her. He knew that she
spoke the truth. He met her eyes with
a half smile. Then, wholly without
warning, Fate played It's last trump.
Again the wilderness reminded them
of its might, and their brave spirits
were almost broken by the utter re-
morselessness Of the blow. The girl
went on her face with crack of wood.
