A MERICANS, reading of the friction between
~ the great allies. Britain and Frapce. might
conclude that the Anglo-French entente was
about at end. The unyieldng attitude of France
on reparations on Russia, steps toward the eco
Element with the Turkish Nationalist effected by
France without the concert of Britain the divergent
views Upper Sesia, had produced in Britain
feeling that France tending to be out of har-
lony with rational measures for world-rcstoration.
This difference of attitude the part of Britain
AMI France we'll known in America for some
time before the Washington conference, and many
Americans doubtless were expecting a wider and
more serious breach Then the Washington
conference and further strong and open differences
between Britain and France, capital ships re-
ducton, on submarines, land forces, China.
AS climax, came the resignation of NJ. BRAND
with the brcakng-up of the Cannes conference, and
the coming into power OF the reactionary Poincare.
1t must have seemed to many that the strain OF
Anglo-French relations had finally reached the
breaking point. But such has not proved to be the
Why not?
The fact is the Anglo-Frcnch accord is the sub
structure OF the European political system OF today.
If it should be finally abandoned, almost po-
tca edihce in Europe would have to be con-
structed. In the construction of such edi6ce,
there would probably be terrible cost in blood and
treasure. definite, final rupture between Britain
and France would hold at least possibilities for
various 1t might the loss of much
that the great gained for humanity. 1t might
mean danger of political and economic chaos in
Europe. Britain and France know this
1t is also true that there is genuine bond Of
friendship and sympathy between Britain and
France. That bond may be bit strained at times
but it is real 1t is not to be lightly disregarded.
Let no doubt that. when Britishers and
Frenchmcn attacking each other most vigor-
ousy, they have in the back OF their minds real
izatiou OF the underlying affinity OF these two
nations. And it must not be forgotten, matter
what scofcrs may say, that the mingling OF sacri-
fetal blood in the by these two great nations
has forged tic that binds them closely.
&c. we see sudden severing OF relations be-
tween Britain and France, after all Perhaps with
surprise, VIC NJ. Poincare trying to go ahead
with an Anglo-French defensive alliance where NJ.
BRAND left off. We see signs Of public senti-
ment in France swinging more toward the British
view. witness the recent statement of NJ. Lou
cheur that German reparatons would have to be re-
duccd. The net result of NJ. Poincarcs cunning for
NJ. BRAND is much a change OF policy for
France as political office for NJ. Poincarc, for a
time at least.
Anglo-French relations.
No, there is break between France and Brit
ain. Rather, may look for a better under
standing. And the sooner this is brought about,
whether through NJ. Poincare or another, the bet

One View of kaiserdom.

To the Editor, Tue Washington Herald:
In a local paper of yesterday.
apropos Of something else. was this
statement: There never should have
been a Kaiser The reference at
first took in merely a slam at
Wilhelm. the late Kaiser, and then
went on as I have quoted.
On such feeble platitudes is the
American people fed Do you re-
meirber box in 1919 and prior to
that? Tho Kaiser was to the plati-
tude editor of that day the Prince
OF Peace" One of Roosevelt's proud
est moments was in standing by the
Kaiser reviewing, Gernany's bat
talions. His comment was great
guy" or the like. I knew that after
that Roosevelt wanted every Amert-
can boy in the army.
Under the Kaiser chat should
never have beem Germany took the
lead in science. in medicine. in work
mems insurance Legislation. Inquire
of anybody who was In any big Ger
man city before the war ifgthere were
any slums-any miserable tenement
houses as exist in New York's East
Side, London's White Chapel or the
west side OF Chicago. and even parts
of this city. Compare the old Berlin
municipal administration with, let
us say. Chicago today where the
police peddle booze.
Now-Germauy went TO war. The
Kaiser had the sole right to order
the manhood Of Germany into the
trenches. Awful power. Monarchy!
In Washington the President told
Congress he thought they should de-
clare war. What happened to those
men who voted against it? Did the
President praise them? On the con-
tary, they were likened to traitors.
The President declared war in the
same manner the Kaiser did. neither
would have dared do so without pub
lie support Then came the draft.
The proud boast was made at the
time: Thus a democracy goes to war.
Where is the difference" The main
difference was tho Kaiser or rather
the government held hack the greedy
war profiteers who were aided here.
Then came our suspension of con-
stitutional guarantees. Jim Ham
Lewis. administration spokesman in
the Senate at the moment said that
during the war the Constitution
should be dormant. II was dormant
all right-it was punched for the
count in the solar plexus. And ii is
all very well-Tm not kicking. but
where's the difference
There never should have been any
Kaiser" There never should have
been any Car. No; Trotsky is
better. The iron hand of the Roman
offs crushed the Russian. Now under
the glorious rule of the people Russia
is a charming and a happy land. So
! is Mexico. Overthrow Diaz-he's an
autocrat. Under the sweet infiuence
Of the ballot Mexico has marched in
a steady gait of progress since.
There never should have been any
King of England. Norway, Sweden,
Denmark. Belgium. and Italy. Alas,
the populace OF those royal-stained
countries never can say Il voted for
the President. We elected him. -
No-every morning the kings of the
above countries take a vow to per-
petrate some piece of villainy on
their subjects.

how the austrian republic has the good

Warns Against Shop Thieves
To the Editor. The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1t is about time that someone
calls attention to these bands of
two to four young men that have
infested this city for the last year
or two and who prey on shopkeep-
ers. Many of the losses by theft
are never reported, probably some
not noticed. The general procedure
of these gentry Is for one to get
the attention of clerk or proprie-
tor and the others disperse them
selves over the store seeing what
can be picked up. Another trick,
Is to fake a call on the long-dis-
lance telephone and loaf around
awaiting an answer. These young
men range in ages from II to %
years, are nicely dressed and clean
shaver, an are correct takers in
good English. / write this to post
all shopkeepers to keep their eyes
open and trust no appearances.
