France on the Rhine
Regret That the Allies Did No. Fiz

That Boundary Line
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sifi The United States Is fortunate
indeed In being The honored host Of
that great French statesman, ciemsn-
esau, who, being near the close Of his
life, speaks frankly not what his audi
enee wishes 20 hear but the truth as
ne ssss II 10 be.
II would BE-, we'll for Great Britain
and the United States to take seriously

Fortunately It nov seems probabls
that France Will remain permanently
on the west bank Of the Rhine. That
river will form q dIfheult barrier In
the way Of Germany ssd will undoubt-
sdly delay her next eruption Of piracy.

and protection are involved In II only

and there vas ample justification for
thus puniShing Germany for her wilful
violation Of the treaty with Belgium
and the savagery with which she car
ried on the war, her deportation into
slavery Of civilian populations and her
wilful destruction Of all possible value
In the parts Of France and Belgium
which she was able to occupy.
II 10 only too true that, while the
young men Of the Allies lighting In
their armies won the war, the med

for us In large measure the benefits Of
peace. lt seems incredible that men
should have battlsd by the month re-

peace while they permitted matters 70
drift along into conditions which made
certain the early repetition Of war.
Clearly Turkey should have bean
wholly subdued and partitioned. The
most cruel thing about the long delay
In arriving at peace and setting up
a futile League Of Nations was the fact
that every minute Of the months 90
spent was paid FOR By a human life.

To M. Editor Of The Tr!bune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. A French gentleman was enter
talnins tzo friends Of his at his home
IN Paris. One guest Was an English
man. the other an American.
Suddenly the door was burst open
and a burly individual At once attacked
the FrsnehmAn. The EnglishHan'
tsourh tesAily anprepared for such an
encounter, Immediately came TO lis
rescue. Together they we're unable TO
overcome their asSAilRnt, when the
American Joined them and together
they overeame the rliiAn. They agreed
Ielntly 20 release him on certain con
ditlons, which he accepted and thea de-
parted.
The Frenehman, turning TO HE
fr:ends, said, 81 know all about this
man; he 10 very dangerous character,
and I am afraid he will not only tail
10 keep his promise, but when ready
he will again attack me, when am
alone." 70 which the EngliShman re-
piled, "If he does, count on my help
again" The American made the same
promise, but added that he would hrst
have TO consult his friends In America
On parting the French gentleman
frankly told his friends that II ne
could not count on their cooperation
or nroteetion he would be obliged 70
adopt methods Of protection when
would seriously impair his fortune,
and aven then he might not succeed
n which event the result would be dis

practically all his neighbors.

March 4 Could Be Set as the Date

To the Editor Of The Tribune
SIR Public attention has been called
TO the fact that the Congress selected
at the last election would not In the
ordinary course Of events meet until
December, 1919. and thus delay the
carrying into effect Of the popular will
ss expressed By the election.
In the general discussion II has been
taken for granted that this unfair sIt-
ustIOn IL inevitable.
A study Of the law reveals the fol.
loving;

and such meeting shall be on the hrs.

Quoting a speech BY Webster In
1895 IN the Senate. he shows that even
the commencing Of new Congresses on
March 9Th succeeding election was a
matter Of usage, and not By Constltu-
tion or Law.

and thus avoid the spectacle Of de-

repudiated BY the electorate.
Ny thought Is that II public sttsn-
tion Is called to the ease with which
the present situation may be remedied,
the outgoing repudiated Congress
would still be American enough to play
fair and set March <th as tho date for
the eonvening Of the new Congress,

London, July 1o.-There is less en- thusiasm in England than in France over the proposed return match of Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight champion although the genuine Brit ish fight-goer is making much noise in the hope that the bout may be staged in London.
