The Washington times., 1922-12-31

What Is the good Of recalling
the past, we would repeat. IL we
were not bound to continue the
strange situation created for us
by the treaty of Versailles? Was
1t not recognized, solemnly pro-
claimed before our parliament
that an act which placed face
to face with our country, with
its 100000 Inhabitants. q Ger.
many Of $4,000. 900 souls. an irri-
tated Germany, yet Of a now re.
inforced unity. was worth moth
ing save by the military action
which was promised US by the
United States and Great Britain
in the event Of an unprovoked
German aggression. 1T Is this
allied solidarity" II was said
in the French chamber of depu-
ties, which gives life to the
treaty"
The treaty lives no longer. see
ing that the pact Of guarantee
has fallen into dust.
How. then, can 1t be expected
that under such conditions France
should not fear for her security
and that she should feel anxiety
in regard to the means at her
disposal to safeguard It?
In touching on the problem in
the Senate when the treaty of
Versailles was being discussed.
M. Clemenceau did not hesitate
to declare that there was really
but one sole method that was of
any value. that France and Ger.
many could not indefinitely live
side by side In a state of hatred,
that we ought to act as he had
advised the Italians to conduct
themselves in their relations with
the Jugo.Slavs. Make friends
OF them" he had told them.
NJ. Clemenceau on that occa sion
identified himself with policy
which he had combated unceasing.
ly. which he had turned against
Gambetta, against Jules Ferry,
against many others. After hav-
ing signed the act we have re-
ferred to, he concluded-strange
paradox-that there was a neces.
sity for a Franco-German rap.
proachement.
lie thus justified the. profound
saying OF Saint Evermond. "Af.
fairs are conducted by men who
are carried away by passions
more frequently than they are led
by policy"
The French philosopher who
wrote this expression of pro-
found wisdom might have added
that nations. too, allow themselves
to be dragged along at the heels
of their shepherds and, with more
excuse than the latter, by passion,
and that long time must
elapse before they will permit poll.
tics to take hold Of the lovers Of
command.

antecedents of the new governor.
general corroded his sense of fit
ness of things. The elevation Of
other distinguished Irishmen to
governor-generalship would not
have been held as stroke Of
genius on the part Of the eleva.
tors by the fortunate candidates
small but enthusiastic coterie Of
hackers.
In Tim" Healy's case the thing
strictly to be sought for was the
greatest good of the greatest num-
Der, and the result was no doubt
arrived at negatively, for Healy
fitted the description, not because
he had more political hackers
than the others, but because his
selection caused less violent Of
fence to the unsuccessful aspir.
ants and their followers.
ALWAYS A HOME RULER.
The governor-general-elect was
always q home ruler enough to
preserve his reputation as friend
Of Ireland, and never enough to
get him accounted an enemy OF
the British empire. During the
last few months, he had, by his
own unaided efforts. licked the
members Of the provisional gov.
ernment, one Of whom, kevfn
Higgins, is his nephew, into the
image and likeness of statesman,
SO much so that after their recent
meeting the British prime minis.
ter is said to have declared that
President Cosgrave would be an
acquisition to any cabinet.
Healy was not a member OF the
last British Parliament, but he
was one of the Irish representa-
tives at Westminster for nearly
forty years. and only retired from
active political life lin 1918. He
was born at Bantry. and, being
Munster man. was born a politi.
clan.

NEED OF GUARANTEES.

NEED OF GUARANTEES.
That hour will arrive for France,
as for Germany. and the patriots
OF all countries who aspire to
being good Europeans must make
an effort to hasten the event.
But on what conditions can the
necessary agreement be reached?
No doubt reciprocal concessions
will be needed. as well as a mu-
tual comprehension Of the inter.
ests Of the two countries: the dem.
ocratic spirit will have to perme-
ate all acts and movements, and
no beginnings can be made. there.
fore. until aggressive nationalism
shall no longer predominant either
on one or the other side of the
Rhine.
On the other hand. It is not to
be denied that the special situa-
ton Of France, with her limited
population. adjoining a country
Of a vastly superior number of
inhabitants, stands in need of
guarantees. not of such vain guar.
antees as are offered by scraps Of
paper, but Of real guarantees. It
is essential that Germany should
comprehend that the nation
against whom she has so often
fought and whom the vicissitudes
of history have despoiled Of her
natural frontiers, cannot forego
action In western Germany, where
concern for security has formerly
infrir sed on policy. unless she Is
assure d against fresh attacks.
HUMANITY'S TASK.
Better than pacts. which though
not to be despised are secondary
in importance, Is the elimination
Of the Pan.German spirit, the
adoption by Germany Of real
republic which should establish
autonomies on a wide scale,
which should replace within its
Just limitations the authority of
Prussia. would assure a pro-
found entente between the races
animated by this mutual fear
Of which Tacitus has spoken.
An entente which is delicate
and complex and which can
scarcely be attained IL other
great peoples whom It is not
necessary to mention by name
fail to collaborate In it.

Beginning life as a clerk in
Dublin, he learned shorthand

to London as shorthand secre-

Parnell and his policy known

America Mr.. Healy accompanied
him as his secretary. He was
elected to the British House OF
Commons as member for Wex-

most prominent, daring and ef-
fective spokesman OF his party

1t was during Sir George Ire.

Ireland that Healy served his
time in prison for violent
speech. Later he came into open
collision with Parnell during the
Galway election in 1885. and after

cried.
Twilight was gathering rapidly, but
she did not notice it. She, did not
notice, either, that the air was grow
ing steadily colder with the approach
of the mountain night. To her a
warm sun was shining above in a
bright blue vault; to her the spirit OF
summer was everywhere; in her ears
there was the liquid song Of meadow
lark, the sweet twittering of wood
thrushes, the low humming of wild
bees. The pouring of the crystal wa
tiers between the two boulders above
the pool made music to her, and blend
ed with it she seemed to hear the voice
of a big, clean, strong man
II was thinking of the difference be-
tween you and some other women /
know"
Then ray of hope shone into her
heart. Bill Dale was really a More
land and, therefore, of the hill blood
even as she was of the hill blood, and
that should make them more nearly
equal. She told herself that he wouldn't
be so apt to condemn her for being
able to take human life easily as
one Of another blood would be; he
would be more apt to understand. And
yet, the women he hid known were
gentle, tender and refined, like, for in
stance, Patricia McLaurin. Soon the
ray of hope died within her, and she
bent her head and sobbed again.
One of her bare hands began to
grope idly in the snow at her side, and
she. did not feel the cold. Suddenly
she realized that her hand was full
of shavings, WRITINGS. Some man
had been sitting there whiting with
a pocket knife-it must have been a
man, for who ever heard Of a woman
whiting? She felt in the snow with
both hands, and found more WRITINGS
there were bushels Of whittlings, it
seemed to her, lying there under the
snow.
Then she wondered-wondered who
1t could have been.
It was quite dark now, but the moon
was not yet up. A great, bright star
blazed above David Morelands tomb
like beacon fire. She heard the mnf-
fed sounds of slow masculine foot
steps in the snow behind her. She
did not. turn her head. In her soul
she knew it could be but one man.
Bill Dale's head was down, and he
moved as though he neither knew nor
cared whittier he went. Then he saw
che dark heap on the rivers bank DO.
fore him, and he halted. He knew In
his soul that 1t could be but one wom-
an.
Dale went on and sat down on a
saone the size Of a small barrel that
lay at the rivers rim.
"Babe?" he said. It was the mating
call of his heart in the springtime of
his life.
"Who d-done all O. this whittlin'.
Bill?" asked Elizabeth.
II did," softly.

Tell me this" Elizabeth asked
pointedly: what made you come to
this one spot to do your within?
Couldn't you whittle up there in my
daddy's cabin y8rd?'
He answered her unhesitatingly:
Because ! like to be here. This
place Is shrine to me. It was here
J that l first loved you, Babe. Now you
tell me this: Why did you come to
this particular spot to sit down in
the snow? There's snow in your dad

Said Elizabeth, in voice that sound
ed smothered: Because like to be

too--it was here that / first loved you,

''Then why" he demanded, won't
you marry me?"
Because 1t was me that shot--Ad-.
am Ball." 4
She went on, and though emotion
had set every fibre Of her to quivering,
she did not fall into the old hill talk,
which was proof Of the magnificence
Of her:
II thought you wouldn't want me
If you knew that did that. and /
couldn't marry you without telling you.
But you know now! And do what
ever you feel like doing or saying, you

Bill Dale shot erect. Truly, this
was a day Of surprises for him. He
