LONDON-Buried away, far from
the beaten tourist trails, is an
American military cemetery here
that contains but a scant two score
of headstones. The upward of 500
bodies Of other Yanks that remain
in England are buried in Brook
wood, nea Surrey.
Hundreds of travellers visit Brook
wood. But the one or two nurses
and the few soldiers in the other 1T
tie cemetery sleep in silence.
Nor is it wholly British, this
cemetery, for it is upon the land Of

were laid away nearby. Later the
burial spot was beautiied.
The estate is at Cleveden, near
Oxford, on the Thames. The huge
Italian mansion is surrounded by a
fairyland of gardens. In a thick
grove of trees, on the brink of a
precipice dropping to the Thames,
stands a little chapel. Beside it is a
sunken elliptical garden, walled
with moss-hung stones and ringed
with a marble mosaic walk.
Enclosed within this walk Is the
burial ground. The forty ~headstones
lie flat, sunk flush with the surface.
Facing the eastern side, the figure
of a woman stands With extended
arms, keeping watch.
The Canadian Red Cross erected
the statue.

silesian Subdivision Proposed.

4 dispute is rising over the question
Of whether the Silesian plebiscite
should be determined on the basis Of
the total vote cast in the province or
the votes in the separate communes
or districts. On the basis of the pro-
vincial vote Germany had very large
majority. But it is claimed by the
Poles that they carried nine of the
sixteen districts and that these are
the ones in which the rich coal fields
are located. and are, therefore, the
specific prizes of the whole Silesian
situation.
The claim Of nine Of sixteen districts
for Poland, however. is CHALLENGED
even by a French authority, which
gives the Germans twelve. Apparent
ly there is so much confusion rcgard-
ing the account that the ofiicial report
Of the plebiscife will be needed to af.
ford any sort Of basis for the decision

difficulty of applying the "self-daer-

National Committee Work.

The gossips are canvassing the ques.
tion of a successor to Mr.. Hays. who
is expected to resign the Office of chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee at an early day. He should be
very competent and alert man. and
could probably do no better than copy
the methods Of his predecessor.
Mr.. Hays, it will be remembered. i'm.

Of chairman proceeded to familiarize
himself with the field he had been
selected to cover. He did not circular
ize the organization, or communicate
with it by wire, but arranged an
itinerary and visited local leaders at
their homes. This called for extensive
travelling; but he hit the trail, and
paid his respects to everybody it was
important for him to meet.
The result appeared in the first ma
tional campaign he conducted-that
for control Of the Sixty sixth Congress.
He won that, and on the strength Of
the success. he was chosen by Mr..
Harding to conduct his campaign for
the presidency. He again won, and
on the strength of the two victories he
is now Postmaster General. Some
success, even in this land Of oppor-
tunity.

would stand in the way of the running
Of . new boundary lire to give the
Polish part to the Poles and the Ger

economic consideration turns upon
the ownership of the coal mines.
The allied council must consider fin

Denying the Account.

Germany is playing the usual game.
delay, dispute and denial, in the mat
ter of the reparations. The Berlin
government has replied in terms Of
point-blank refusal to the allied COM
missions ultimatum to pay a billion
marks in gold due today with q bal
ance OF twelve billions on the 1st Of
May. 1t maintains that the full
amount of twenty billions provided
for by the peace treaty, to be paid by
May 1, has been more than paid, and
it asks that a, joint commission OF
experts fix the value of the German
deliveries on reparation account. Then
it adds the whine that usually accom-
panies German bluff: "It will be in
any event impossible for Germany to
pay twelve billion marks by the 1st
of May"
This is the old, old practice of dis
putting the account. Many a debtor
has done this and some Of them have
got away with It. VIII Germany do so?
Obviously Germany's plan is to stall
~ long ~ possible. She Is not going
to give up a dollar more than she
can avoid paying. She 10 going to
concentrate all Of her means in her
own rehabilitation to gain as soon as
can be a commanding commercial posi-
tion in the world. Trade conquest is
now her goal instead of military con-
-

on that eambtt.
II can be assumed that the author
tiles at Berlin will work every pos.
sibie variation Of plea. poverty, in
justice. inaccurate accounting. In the
present case it is a combination Of
denial and despair. But the account
stands. There is no reason to doubt
it. The allied governments have not
presented an extortionate bill. II the
reparations in kind are to be valued
at the German scale q estimate. with
marks at par. perhaps the account has
been overpaid to date. But the repara-
tions commission figures differently. It
takes the value Of the goods delivered
in the countries devastated by the
Germans. What are they worth to
Belgium and France on the ground?
That is the test and that is the basis
Of the present allied claim Of billion
today and twelve billions on the 1st of
May.
Perhaps the watch on the Rhine
may have to move little farther east.

The President and Factionism.

The President, it is reported. will
refuse to take sides in any faction
row in any state. He wants his party
friends to settle their differences be.
fore coming to him. and especially
about patronage. His purpose is to
distribute the Offices at his command
fairly and on q party basis, and for
that reason he asks that agreements
be reached as to the merits Of those
applying for recognition. -,
He should insist upon this. Now is
tho time to settle factionism where
it exists, or discourage it where it
az yet but threatens. Next year is a
highly important one for the party in
power. A new Congress will be in
the scale; and the record made at the
coming special session and at the first
regular session to follow will be the
issue. If possible, the republicans
must carry the election, both as re-
spects legislation to be enacted on the
eve Of the next presidential contest,
and the contest itself
We may expect more or less fac.
tionism, not only in the south, where
patronage has always been a trouble
breeder, but elsewhere. The republican
victory last year was complete and
overwhelming. Everything was swept
into the party's sack. Hence, there
is . large amount Of stuff to be di.
vided. d: 49,
Such condition Of things creates
. strong appetite. Men in Office are
pressed hard by men seeking Office,
and both officeholders and officeseekers
look longingiy to the White House.

Gen. Wood.

On the eve of his departure for the
Philippines, where he will investigate
conditions with the view of reporting
upon the preparedness of the natives
for self government, Gen. Leonard
Wood has been chosen head Of the
University Of Pennsylvania. His &C.
ceptance Of the post is regarded as
certain.
1t is a post of great opportunity and
responsibility. and Gen. Wood should
fili it well. Like Theodore Roosevelt.
whose intimate friend he was, he
makes strong appeal to young men.
He has the purpose and the energy
they admire. The Piattsburgh train
ing camp was his idea; and young men
iocted there in numbers to qualify
for Army duty as officers.
Educated for the medical profession,
and successful, in that; turning his
attention then to the military pro-
fession, and successful in that, Gen.
Wood may be expected to show in the
new field of activitysan equal degree
Of enterprise and adapfability. He is
In the prime Of life, widely known,
and. wherever known, applauded and
trusted.
When first announced, the Philip
pine mission was coupled with a sug-
Sestion and a hope that Gen. Wood
would succeed Francis Burton Harri-
son as governor general OF the arciai-
peiago. His qualifications for the et.
nee were 80 conspicuous. and the i'm.
poetance Of the place so generally
recognized. he seemed the ideal man
for the appointment. And then there
was satisfaction In the thought tisat
so capable a man would thus be en-.
picyed in the public service at time
when the country needs the services
Of the best men available.
The private post, however. seems to
have made the stronger appeal to the
general, and he will go to it. The
country will wish him success in it.

And cried, 1T is the natural state

The United States Is Waking Up.

Less than a fortnight has passed
since President Harding assumed Of
Ace, and. although neither in his inau-
gural address. nor since has he said
anything of special Importance. yet
the country seems to have been cleo
trified from some cause. The change
that occurred two weeks ago at
Washington might. perhaps, be de-
nificantly by saying that Mr.. Wilson
retired from Office and the republican
party came into power.
While the new President has neither
said nor done anything of moment
during the past thirteen days. yet the
American people are acting as if he
had given them a new leadership for
which they had been eagerly waiting.
A striking change has taken place in
the tone Of most of the leading Ameri-
can newspapers in the past. ten days
in reference to Americas relation to
world affairs: They assume that tho
United States will stand by the ma
tions that were her allies in the war.
and that the Germans are. wasting
crocodile tears and possum tricks in
trying to befool America. The sugges-
ton that the United States should
make a separate peace with Germany
is today being scoffed at as so much
German propaganda.

|DAR|EN CITIZEN IS
BACK FROM EUROPE
Robert Manson, Well Known
Lumberman, of the Little City
Across the AItamaha, Talks
interestingly of Affairs in
Countries Recently Deyastat-
ed by War. "a

That the people of the coutries en-
gagged in the World War are deter
mined to return as quickly as possible
TO normally, becomes evident to any
one who visits those countries and
especially England, France, and Bel
GUM, the latter in particular.
Robert II. Manson, well-known lum-
herman, of Darien, has. just returned
from an extended trip through these
countries and he talks interestingly of
affairs there. Mr.. Manson got pas
sage in steamer leaving Liverpool
England, for Jacksonville, Fla, and
made the trip in twenty days, with a
pleasant passage across the big pond.
In speaking of conditions existing
in various countries, Mr.. Manson says
Belgium is making greater progress
in the return to pre-war conditions
than any of the others and while
France and England are making sur
prising strides in the direction of the
former status of affairs, the little
country of King Albert seems to be
leading them all.
when asked particularly about re-
sumption of the lumber business
| abroad Mr.. Manson says the outlook
is not bright. The simple fact is that
all the countries at war had amassed
enormous stocks OF lumber, ETC., and
now that peace had come, this was be-
ing sold at ridiculously low figures,
which, of course, means that the sup
ply there will have to be exhausted
| before orders are sent abroad But
this stock will not lost mary months,
thinks Mr. Manson, as each govern
ment is encouraging building, thus i'm
proving property and furnishing en-
ployment to some of the great army
Of the unemployed which is, by far,
greater there than in the United
States. But resumption of foreign
business is soon to come, is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Manson.
