of peace which usually makes
peace an established fact after a
treaty has been signed and ratified
has not been issued by the White
house. The delay is significant. 1t
is one thing to have a congress
sional resolution declare a state of
peace. 1t is another thing to put
forth a proclamation notifying the
world, including Germany, that the
United States considers herself at
peace. If the latter were trle,
there would be no need of a treaty
of peace at all and the lawyers
are expressing themselves against
issuing a proclamation of peace
until after treaty with Germany
has been made.
Mr.. Harding is at the parting OF
the ways again. He has hoped
against hope for a compromise. But
the 'irreconcilables" don't see il
that way and they are making
trouble by threatening all sorts of
things if the Versailles treaty comes
back to the senate. But Mr.. Har-
ding must follow the advice of his
distinguished counsel, the secretary
of state, or follow the senate
group which has blocked rarifica-
ton from the start. The chances
are he will stand by Mr. Hughes.

probably advise his client that un-
less the Versailles treaty is used as
a basis, just as President Harding
said in his first message to con-
gress that he believed it would be
the wiser course to follow, the en-
tire foreign policy of the United
States will be in tangle.
Germany Must Sign.
Certainly one big fact has already
leaked out of the department OF
state. It is that there is no pres
emit intention Of renewing dlpIo-
matte relations with Germany un-
til a treaty is signed between Ger
many and the United States. The
Knox-Porter resolution is really a
one-sided affair. 1t proclaims
state of peace SO far as statutes OF
the United States are concerned.
It doesn't bind Germany and Mr..
Hughes is going SLOW about giving
to Germany the advantages of q
peace time relationship with the
United States until Germany signs
on the dotted line q treaty dispos-
ing OF the many claims which the
United States holds directly and in
directly against her.
No Peace Proclamation.
Even the proclamation OF a state

mice in the parlor, awaited the COM

was to be a glad surprise, made a
charming picture.

face, he was greeted with shouts of
laughter and the merrymaking be-
gan. Each little guest brought a

appreciated. The children then re-
paired to the yard where many
games, old to the grown-ups, but
ever new to the young, were highly
enjoyed.
At four o'clock they were called
to the dining-room which was
beautifully lighted and decorated.
The long table was most attractive
with flowers, glass and china. A
large birthday cake, with seven can
dies, graced the center Of the table
