Remarkable Reaction.

THE HERALD recently said it was mighty hard
L to tell what either Lloyd George BRAND
meant by what they said. Since the speech of
Lloyd George to the commons the situation in
Slesia, the German border has been closed, German
rregulsrs told to keep the reservation and Brit
sh troops have been sent to help police the prov
nce. This is marked concession to France.
On the other hand BRAND defending himself
before the assembly, told France she could not af-
ford to break the entente, that Germany show
ing good faith, that French troops would not ad-
vance into the Ruhr and that Great Britain was
right as to Siesa. He got an overwhelming vote
of confidence, while Germans hailed British troops
and gave them flowers.
This remarkable return to sanity by all three
Cree. Britain, France and Cermany-may not all be
due to the return Of the United States to their
councils but it certainly is due to that fact in large
measure. At least they coincident and there is
concealment by any of entire Willingness to
listen and agree to this governments advice.
Almost instantly the courage of real statesman
ship has replaced the near-demagogy of appeal to
prejudice. 1t is not believable that BRAND would
have dared talk, to the French assembly, two
months ago month ago. as he talked last week.
He has nothing more back of him, now than before,
except the weight of this government. France
knows as the British government knows, that they
must come agreement and that they have
with them wholly disinterested adviser.
Neither go to extremes, while Germany
realizes she is equally safe in leaving her Silesian
equity to allied disposal All governments feel
safer, assured and freer to act in the open
cording to their saner judgment. Even Korfanty,
pure opportunist none too reputable trouble
maker, whose record is not that of patriot, sees
the need of preparing the way for his own down
fall, a fash in the pan.
Americans may well feel great satisfaction in
these results, so largely due to their governments
action in again taking its place in the supreme coun
Gil and assuming the responsibility which belongs to
this country 1t all foretes that this realization of
a common veal or woe. will bring the international
confidence WHICH was the hope of the war victory.

The Editor is one of the happiest
animals in the known world. He can
go to the circus afternoon and even
Ing without paying cent; also to in
quests and happenings of all kinds,
including hangings. He can go to
baseball game every day without ii
costing him cent. He has free tic
kets to picnics and strawberry festi-
walls and gets wedding cake sent to
him and sometimes gets licking, but
not often, because he can come right
back at the man who licked him,
which he generally does. and always
worse than the first time. and the
other fellow has no way OF telling
his side of the thing. l never knew
only one editor who got licked who
didn't have a comeback. His paper
busted the next day and he couldn't
take nothing back.
While other folks have to go to
bed early, the Ehator can sit up late
every night, and see all that's going
on. When i get to be a man i am
going to be editor 80 l can stay
up late at nights. The Editor don't
have to saw any'wood or do any chop
ping, except with his scissors. Rail-
roads get up excursions for him, cause
they know If they don't he will make

care much who he goes for so long
MS they are on his side, II they amt
he "goes for EN- anyway" so it
amounts to about the same thing.
There is great many people who
tries to be editors. but can't, same as
everything else. But lots of men gets

can't see it, though, and never will
