Abetting Ruin
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Gompers and the leaders
of the striking unions seem to think
that they have right to interfere
with and cripple transportation in the
United States. Do they not realize
that to stop transportation is to in
fiict immense damage and misery upon
the people of the country, the destruc-
tion of the fruit and berry crops, the
ruin of the farmers, the cessation of
labor in factories, the starvation of
thousands in the cities and the ruin
of numberless merchants through out
the land? Do they really think they
have such right or power?
It is to prevent such enormous and
irreparable damage that the Injunction
was issued. Surely 4 per cent of the
citizens cannot coerce SO per cent.

The League of Nations Assembly.
which began it's third annual session
yesterday, will probably be more oc-
cupied this year with concrete in
ternational questions than with
problems concerning its own func-
tioning. Last year the Assembly
was busy asserting it's own preroga-
stives as against those of the over
shadowing Council and in modifying
covenant obligations which weighed
too heavily on most members. This
year sociological rather than political
projects have the right of way on
its agenda.
The work of the league is, in fact,
becoming more and more social in
character. There is broad field
OF international activities in which
an association of this sort can do
an admirable co-ordinating service.
In the way Of health, sanitation,
communications, emergency relief,
policing against the traffic in pro-
hibited drugs and other interna-
tional immoralities it supplies a
guardianship which is sorely needed.
Its supplementary efforts to restrict
armament will also be of value if
they extend to the smaller nations
agreements which the great powers
have reached Independently as to
naval and military restrictions.
Here is something which the league
can accomplish without entering into
the hazardous terrain of political
super-sovereignty.
Will it's originally intended super
sovereignty survive? It doesn't seem
SO. The Council is controlled by the
powers which constitute the Allied
Supreme Council. They prefer to
reach most Of their political deci-
slons in separate conferences. When
they cannot agree problem is some
times turned over advantageously to
the League Council, as in the case
of the partition of Upper Silesia.
The Allied Supreme Council, to
which the United States has free
access whenever it wishes, remains,
IN fact, the executive committee Of
the Allied nations for dealing with
world questions, especially those
arising out of the execution Of the
peace treaties. Though not in the
league, we are thus not shut out
from participation in the decisions
which the League of Nations was
once expected to make.
The Assembly is the vital body of
the league as it stands. 1t has
shown desire, too, to accommodate
itself to the leagues present mar
rover role, having voted last wear
to construe Article x SO as to cancel
the obligation of each member to
protect the territory of every other
member against outside aggression.
Article X has been made a self
denying ordinance only, as it should
have been from the start Canada
has submitted an amendment elini-
mating the whole article. Yet it has
already ceased to be the "heart of
the covenant" What a commentary
on the shortsightedness of Mr.. Will
sons determination to defeat ratif-
cation and keep the United States
out OF the league rather than allow
1t to enter with reservations which
the league itself has already volun-
tarily subscribed to!

will come to the point of saying
that not more than q certain amount

leave the advantage with the man
who went into the contest with the
larger stock of hold-over publicity.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James ]. Montague
An Eskimode

AN ESklmode
The Eskimo endures the cold
With fortitude heroic;
A man of such an eskimold
Is always sternly stole.
Although he frequently will wake,
In weather chilly polar,
To find he has humping ache
Inside an eskimolar
(Which either you or would set
To loud and piteous groaning),
He'd not descend, upon bet,
To any eskimoaning.
Sometimes his wife beside him
jogs;
Sometimes he has to tote 'er,
And bitches up a dozen dogs
To pull her eskimotor.
His farmstead being frozen deep,
He needs to do no sowing,
And, as there are no crops to
reap,
He does no eskimowing.
To hunt the walrus and the seal
Comprises his vocation
And so he never needs to feel
An esklmotivation.
Of fate the fellow asks no odds:
His only eskimotive
Is to propitiate his gods
With sacrifices votive.
He's always filled with rosy hope
AS Ger the ice he hurries
And never stops to eskimope
Or think about his worries.
He's cheerful till he's bent and
gray
And years have bowed his
shoulders,
And he'll keep on the same old
way
Until he eskimolders.

try). The diplomats there know moth
ing about anything, and, besides, they
are the most pretentious and the most
stupid people in the world"
Caillaux's intelligence and his clever
ness are undeniable. His most strik-
ing feature is most extraordinary
quickness of mind. AS soon as you
have opened your mouth he knows all
about what you are going to say.
But he has no moral, no intellectual
equilibrium. He has no soundness, no
solidity of judgment, no self-control
whatever. His feverish agitation, his
versatility, the violence of his tenn
permanent lead him sometimes to do
or to say things which might hardly
be attributed to an entirely sane and
responsible man.
I will give striking example.
While Prime Minister, during some
difficult negotiations with the Spanish
government about the Morocco aues-
tion, he openly threatened the King Of
Spain, Alfonso XIII. perfect gentle
man, for whom the whole of France
feels nothing but respect, to encourage
secretly the revolutionary and anarchi-
cal agitations against him in case
Spanish diplomacy should not give
way.
During the Var
What he did during the war, his i'm
prudent, or rather impndent, actions
which more than once were nearly
criminal ones, were the direct conse-
quence of his lack of moral equi-
librium. In the fall OF 1914 his col
league politicians, just to get rid Of
him, sent him to Argentina on some
mission. No sooner had he arrived
there than he at once surrounded him
self with gang of adventurers. Many
of them were the direct agents Of Ger
man diplomacy
He did the same two years later in
Italy. He did even worse. At the most
critical stage of the war, when a part
Va AeoaAoh OpluaVn WAS GAlIGtU6ly Q6-
pressed and tired Of fighting, he openly
conducted strong propaganda against
the continuation of hostilities. He
played the German game. He preached
q peace of compromise which onld
have brought to his country no hing
less than ruin and dishonor. A similar
action amounted nearly to treason. In
any other country than democratic
France, where not only the spirit but
also the letter of the law has to be
obeyed, he could have been shot for
such an ofFense.
One of Caillaux's characteristics is
that he cannot help being always sur-
rounded by adventurers. While he was
Prime Minister his "homme de conf.
ance," his chief secretary, was mar
called Desclaux This very man, a high
official in the military treasury, during
the first month of the war, on the field
was caught stealing in the vilest man.

viii CaiZzaux Come Back By Raymond Resoul,

From several questions have been
asked here I understand that there
exists among many Americans some
curiosity upon the actual situation, the
whereabouts and the possibilities OF
coming back to power of M. Joseph
Caillaux, the French statesman whom
Clemenceau during the war Gone of
the best things the "Old Tiger" did)
had arrested, put in jail and sentenced
Were Caillaux alone concerned ]
certainly would not take the trouble to
satisfy this curiosity. But this ques-
tion Of the chances of Caillaux COM
ing back to Office is entirely connected
with the question Of Frances internal
politics at the present moment. Moth
ing is more interesting and more i'm
portant for the near future of France
than to discuss the latter of these
questions.
Caillaux, after having for some time
since his sentence kept quiet and re-
mote (although quietness and remote
ness Of life are not at all in his
temperament), is now largely resum-
ing his activity. He writes books and
articles in the magazines and the daily
papers. His activity is not confined to
France. know from the most reliable
sources that he has tried more than
once lately to write for the American
papers, and see that he has sue
ceeded at last in this respect.
All these manifestations are the con-
sequences of we'll prepared plan.
Caillaux Is visibIy trying to exploit
the feeling Of uneasiness and dissatis
faction which is spreading more and
more In France on account Of the
financial difficulties and the bitter feel
ings caused by the failure Of the
Treaty Of Versailles, especially on the
question Of reparations. He poses as
being the only man able to get his
country out of the present financial
muddle.
An Intimate Sketch
I know Caillaux very we'll, and |
have followed with the utmost atten-
ti6n the whole of his career In the
summer Of 1911, during the Agadir
incident, when the Franco German re-
lations were strained almost to the
breaking point, Caillaux was Prime
Minister, and he conducted by himself
the negotiations with Germany over the
head Of the then Minister of Foreign
Affairs, M. de Selves. was the for
eign editor of lie Figaro" and had
in charge during the summer vacation

used to go to see Cai1laux at the
Ministry of Interior, at the Place
Beauvau. Caillaux was always very
expansive. He told me very frankly

used generally to say: "Come to see

A PSALM FOR NIGHTFALL
Now sinks the night DER field and

The valleys fill with shapes Of
fear;
o Thou, who rulest good and i'll,
Lord Of the Night, be near
sssglM
Guard Thou, o Holy One, our sleep;
That in Thy sheltering arms our
rest
Be like child's pure slumber deep
Upon his fathers breast.
Our Father /! Earth and heaven meet
In that dear name we love Ger all.
In grief or sickness at Thy feet
Still, still, on Thee we call.
Osiris, Odin, is Thy name;
Thou art Jehovah, Buddha, Brahn.
All gods are one God and the same
10 Ihee we bring our psalm.
The greed for wealth, the lust for
power,
Which this our age doth make us
share,
Raise to higher plane one hour
And keep the spirit there.
Yet, If upon the earthlier plane
We still must fail or still succeed,
Teach us by bitterness of pain
Thy word is hard to read.
To fail were naught. That might
but bind
The soul to Thee who deign'st to
bless
The Trailer body, feebler mind.
Help us to bear success.
