The answer Is furnished by Great Britain
in establishing Prince Feisal as King OF
Mesopotamia, or that portion of it called
1rak, for which the British Government
holds a mandate under the League Of Ma
tions. The move is undeniably shrcwd.
1t is in accord with the Moslem complexion
of the Mesopotamian region and will prob
ably exert modifying effect upon the
growing militancy of Mohammedan opinion
throughout the world
Feisal is obviously not the type Of man
who can indefinitely be cheated successfully.
His occupancy of the throne at Bagdad not
only restores something Of the prestige en-
joyed by that ancient capital during the
great days of the Caliphate, but 1t means

A mystery" UNCOVERED

THE mystery behind President Wilson's
/ Panama tolls address 10 Congress is
uncovered in the second installment Of the
letters Of Walter Hines Page which ap-
pears in the current Worlds Work.
II will be recalled that the President con-
cludcd his address by request for Il repeal
of the Free Tolls Act in support Of the
foreign policy of tn" Administration. lie
said further: Il shall not know how to
dcnl with other matters Of even greater
drlicncv and nearer consequences IL you do
not grant it to me In ungrudgng measure, y
As The Mexican situation was acute at
the time there was an immediate inference
that the tolls repeal was asked In order to
apprasp Great Britain. which was supposed
to be demanding that the United States
either do something 10 compel the Mexicans
to respect the rights of foreigners or permit
the British 10 intervene.
But the Page letters do not support this
view. They indicat" that early in 1913 the
President had assured the British that he
would seek to bring about the repeal as soon
os rossiblc, for he believed that the law
was ppsScd in violation Of treaty pledges.
Therr arc frequent references to the matter
in the letters which Ambassador Page wrote,
and they all indicate that the sole purpose
Of the repeal was to remove grounds of
friction between the United States and
Great Britain.
The British had protested against the
massage of the act and had insisted that 1t
violated the canal treaty, and when the act
was repealed they wcr" gratihcd.
The editor of the Page letters suggests
that the question Of greater delicacy" to
which the President referred was not un-
related to the colossal tragedy which was
mt that moment overhanging Europe and
the world.
As it was in March, 1914, that the Pr"si-
dent made his plea for repeal, more than
three months before the assassination in
Saraieyo, and when virtually every one
was confident that a great war was i'm

ANOTHER QUEENS END

THE end of the ZR-2 must be regarded as
major catastrophe involving an in
calculable number of minor tragedies. The
Americans aboard the big dirgible met death
in singularly terrible form.
Among them were some Of the best men
of the naval aviation service. With them
perishcd some of the bravest and most ar
dent pioneers of British aviation.
And 1t is probable that among the build
ers and designers of the ZR-2 we're men
who, reading of the disaster at Hull, wished
bitterly in their despair that they had been
aboard their Queen of the Air to perish
with her and her helpless passengers.
For upon the performance Of this super
Zeppelin depended the hopes Of those iers
and builders who believed that dirigibles
would supplant the plane in the war and
commerce of the air.
long time probably will be required to
fix responsibility for the disaster. 1t was
freely rumored that the big vessel was not
so safe as she should have been. The United
States had contracted to pay $4,000, 900 FOR
the dirigible. The loss will fall, of course,
upon the builders, who were stalking their
regulations as we'll as their money on the
success of the trial flights.
The exact cause of the explosion may
never be known. Scientific men may argue
over 1t for years. To the laymen 1t will
appear inevitably as II unknown forces
played In this instance against the mind of
man-as II there were here suggestion that
the audacious of the earth are a little too
eager, a little too ardent and swift and
reckless in their attempts to complete the
conquest of the air. For the strangest CO.
incidence revealed in the disaster Of the
ZR-2 was not mentioned in the cables.
The Zeppelin after which the British
builders and engineers designed their biggest
dirigible came to an end similar to that
which befell the ZR-2. She fell in flames
and every man aboard Of her died in the air.
Again yesterday 1t was demonstrated that
an immense reservoir of highly infammabe
gas, burdened with big gas engines and
artillery, can hardly be reckoned a safe
instrument of war.

A ONE-THEME TREATY

YNHE thirty day recess of Congress which
i began last night will enable the treaty
scrutinizers of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to subject the new pact with
Germany to the most searching examinations
The labor involved is unlikely TO mar a
more or less earned vacation. The new
document, like womans and politicians love.
IL brief, and is concerned chiefly with the
formal pronouncement of peace. which was
thought at one time to have been so au-
thoritatively spoken by the Knox Porter
resolution.
II Is difficult to imagine what reasonable
objection the opponents of the Versailles
Treaty can make to the separate pact. which
Is comparatively free from argument pro-
voking details. With the RPichStag and the
Senate each doing business about month
hence, it seems hardly too much to expect
that peace will be actually concluded by
November II, three years from the cessation
Of hostiities.
The foreShadowed supplemental treaty
with Germany. TO be devoted to an adjust
ment of intricate financial matters will
doubtless furnish the Senate with some ma
terials for debate The specchifying how
ever, will not prOlong the war status-a fact
which Secretary Hughes seems 10 have
counted upon with a characteristic appre-
citation of realities.
The skllfuness Of Mr. Hughes methods
Is illustrated by the signing in Vienna Of
the treaty of peace with Austria. The i'm
portance of that agreement is largely tech
nical The Austria which exists today is
but residue of the former empire with
which the United States was Mt war.
Nevertheless. obstreperous spirits can take
little consolation from the fact that they
knew nothing of the negotiations until the
first step was formally completed.

A FIELD FOR THE P. R. T. PARK

THE transit company's promise of summer
i opera at its proposed new amusement
park at Sixty third and Market streets sug-
gests a type of enterprise which already has
proved attractive in several large cities
Chicago in particular can boast of an OPP
cratic season at Ravinia Park that compares
by no means unfavorably with the regular
subscription series in more formal play
houses
Singers of distinction are conceivably not
averse to summer engagements for remunera
ton lower than that which figures in the
Metropolitan, Chicago and Gallo companies
payrolls. Stars of the first magnitude are
not invariably necessary to finished and
balanced representations. as has been re-
peatedly demonstrated abroad.
Vacation time opera affords opportunity
for aspiring young singers sufficiently en-
dowed with native gifts to respond to pro-
fessional training in association with stand
ardized principals.
Directors to the establishment of the pro
jected park have presented various argu-
ments, including the somewhat amusing one
Of Commissioner Medary, of Dywood. that
those who care for opera are able TO satisfy
their tastes by visiting the high class artists
in the grand opera in Philadelphia" As
the Academy of Music is virtually sold out
for the winter season of only sixteen per-
formances, it Is interesting to wonder how
the imagined visiting is to be done.
What is more TO the point than com
plants is insistence upon the fufllment of
the rosy program outlined by the p. X. 7.
II a new park is TO be brought into being
at Sixty third street it should be justified
by really worth while offerings. Mere talk
along esthetic lines Is not enough. The way
for the park planners to win, if legal en-
tanglements are overcome. is to broaden the
field of summer entertainment here. No
Increase of parks devoted chiefly to Coney
Island devices is needed.
