ed States, but France, and that fact
is becoming SO clear TO the other lead
ing Allied nations that they are becom-
ing little impatient.
France is entitled to very consfdera-
bic sympathy for the sufferings she has
undergone; but in view Of her attitude
and desires as evidenced by that attl-
tude, just now it appears that she is
playing for a call-down that is likely
to give her a considerable shock unless
she shall pretty quickly come to her
senses.
The United States did not go into
this war because Of any real or imag-
mary debt she owed France or. any OF
the rest Of them. She went into 1t
mainly because it was quite clear that
if Germany should clean up the other
European nations as she was IN a 1alf
way Of doing, the world would not be
big enough for Germany and the Unit
ed States except under the unthinkaole
condition that would have required the
United States to recognize Germany as
the dominant power of the world.
Previous to the World war France
was not asking much or aspiring ID
much except for security against Ger
man aggression and the hope that some
day in some way she might get back
her lost provinces of Alsace and Lor-
raine.
England sought only TO maintain her
position as the dominant power OF Eu-
rope. if not of the world; and she went
into the war because she knew that she
could not continue in that position with
Germany in complete control OF contl-
mental Europe, including France.
But now, notwithstanding the fact
that she has got back Alsace and Lor-
raine and the sanction Of her Allies Tor
big reparation claims against Germany
it looks like France is not going to be
satisfied with less than Germany was
seeking-the domination Of Europe, in
cluding Germany, and England and
italy cannot reconcile themselves to the
liberation Of France in that position
any more than they could have to!erat-
ed Germany in it.
So Jealous and fearful is France OF
Germany that she does not need any
Germany except 4 dead or enslaVeo
Germany. England is no longer wor-
ried or concerned about Germany
that has been deprived Of her navy and
her merchant marine, and Italy 1eels
that she has more to fear from pow
errul France than she has to fear from
Germany with her claws clipped OF
from an Austria that can no longer
dominate her Alpine and Adr!atic prev
inces.
All along Germany has been Of more
use to the United States than has any
other European country. and the Unit :
ed States is getting thoroughly tired oil
her unselfish holding Of the bag TO pro-
mote the selfish ends of France at such
tremendous expense to the United
States.
The effect of the peace resolution
inst passcd by the senate and now 60
ing through the house, will put the
United States in a position where she
will at least be on equal terms with the
other nations in dealing with Germany
and also it will probably have the ef-
feet of bringing France to her senses
somewhat.
Even now France cannot lick Ger
many without the help Of the other ma
tions, including the United States ano
once out of the muddle the United
States is not likely TO go in again WIN
out real good cause.

short sleeve outfit as no less so and
said pretty nearly all he could
say to emphasize the scandalousness Of
the whole present-day tendency. And
he begged the women Of the congrega-

careful consideration with a view to
bringing about a, return to decency.

So far as the records show, the Unit

through so-called diplomatic means,

Water containing radioactive com
