French Criticism Of France

Criticlzing French activities at the
Washington conference, Mr.. Ste
phane Lauzanne, one of the sanest
and abIest of French journalists,
writes: "At Washington there was
one sacrifice we could not make to
American friendship, and that was
our army. But American friendship
was worth our sacrificing $4,000
tons of capital ships, especially when
we had neither the intention nor the
means to put one ship upon the
stocks"
Strange as it may appear to
Americans to whom this was clear
from the beginning, Mr.. Lauzanne is
one of the first Frenchmen coura-
Geous enough to explain frankly to
the French public the way in which
the French delegation needlesslv lost
American support. All French COM
ment heretofore has been to the eff
1ect that TO blame attached to the
French for their attitude at the con-
ference. The archdemon was Bal
four, and whatever appeared un-
satisfactory to the French was the
product of his secret scheming.
Lauzanne at last tells his country
men the truth. He explains that the
tactics Of the French mission failed
to take into account the reaction of
American opinion. Re blalnes the
chiefs Of the delegation for being
outmaneuVered If he had the space
he could doubtless go on to explain
that the French system of publicity
was so inadequate that the Ameri-

part upon British and italian sources

Self-Determination

Sir: The phrase "self-determina-

one of those poisonous, meaningless

What is the understanding of those
who believe in elf-determ nation" as

country would never have been settled
had the Pilgrims on landing here been

Indians, and been informed that unless
they were going to live under the laws
Of the Indians they couldn't stay here
This doctrine of self-determination"
Is doing much to create a dangerous
unrest among the backward and ig-
norant people of the world. Nature
allows no self Differentiation" She has
very strict laws for all and any break

Confounding Confusion

The government in war time took
over the railroads, raised freight
and passenger rates, guaranteed the
returns to the lines-and made an
expensive failure of the whole affair.
The city administration of New
York now purposes taking over the
subway system, keeping the fare at
five cents, letting the securities of
the company take care Of themselves
and doing the job to the satisfaction
of citizens.
It cannot be done. The admins
tration's sole experience in traction
operation consists in running, at a
loss, one small road on Staten Isl
and and a few bus lines in Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn. There is not a
single member Of it who has any

ters. The cost of the experiment
would be appalling. The result

finally, he could explain that no one

Or the need Of countcracting the

Good Art, but.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I'm a New York woman I;,,ix
temporarily in Boston. In the course
OF many years of art study I have he
come convinced that much of onr verv
excellent art is utterly spoiled because
OF Its not being rightly placed, or in
incongruous surroundings. I have no
doubt the MacMonnios statue of "Civic
Virtue" for New York City Hall Park
IS worthy of the admiration Of .r+
loVers' but in erecting it upon this site
isn't the committee losing sight Of the
iacC tnat any work Of art strongly i'm
oued with an Italian feeling, no matter
how beautiful, is not fitting for IFS
position in front of our most beauti-
ful Colonial building?
With the architecture of our Citv
Hall of the Bullhnch and McIntvre
period, any statue placed in proximity
to it should suggest the same period
and 1t disturbs and hurts both the
statue and City Hall to have IL other-
wise.
How can civic manhood and virtue
De better expressed than by the char
acter of Nathan Hale, whose excellent
statue has long pointed a lesson Of
virtue, patriotism and the highest tvpe
OF manhood? He expressed these ouali-
ties better than any allegorical figure

sanca, no matter how fine work of art
possibly can. SUMNER HALE

Ratified

The ratification of the four power
Pacific treaty ends fight in the Sen
ate which was disquieting, though
artiicialiy fomented and lacking in
conviction. The country was over
whelmingly fer ratification; but it
lay almost within the power of q
mischief making minority, moved by
partisan vindictivcncss, to wreck the
work Of the Washington conference
and unloose again the discords and
dangerous rivalries which have been
put in leash by the Pacific concert,
The conference treaties are great
work Of pacidcation and reconstruct
ton. The world recognizes them as
such. But they were attacked in the
Senate on contradictory grounds by
two irrcconcilable groups. The small
er one-on the Republican side-was
at least the more candid. 1t opposed
the treaties because they brought the
United States into formal association
with other major powers for the
preservation Of peace in the Pacific.
Its monbcrs would have preferred
American isolation and continued
competition with the other major
powers, although not all of them
We're willing to face the costs in mill
tary preparation Of that dangerous
course.
The larger group had no better
argument than that the treaties
didn't go far enough. It's members
would have preferred, they said,
broader concert, embracing other re-
gicns besides the Pacific. Not hav-
ing obtained the whole loaf of the
League Of Nations, they did not care
TO accept Pacific concert half-loaf.
This is the sort Of idealism which
turns and rends when it cannot have
everything it wants and cannot have
1t, moreover, in its own way. The
appeal Of this argument fell fiat. The
public did not take it seriously and
saw beneath it the perverse bitter
ness Of bruised feelings and frus
tratod hopes.
The country is immensely indebted
to Mr, Underwood and the Demo
cratic Senators who voted with him
for foiling this narrow-minded,
pseudo-ideahstic assault on the
treaty. They put rational service to
the country above political sores. 1t
would have been a tragic reflection
on the representative character Of
our government if the four-power
Pacific treaty-the basis of all the
other conference treaties and in it
self ar admirable instrument of paci-
flcation and international good will
had been sacrificed to petty parti-
san resentments. That it was not
we owe chiefly to Mr.. Underwood's
courage and breadth of leadership.
With ratification the first great
step is taken toward American CO.
operation in the maintenance Of
world peace and the healing of the
wounds Of the war. Other steps will
follow until the unhappy adventures
which have hindered US from dis
charging our world obligations in a
manner harmonizing with our own
wishes and conceptions become a
memory Of the past.

PILLAR THEIR ONLY ABODE
Religious Zealots Who Endured Tor
lures That They Might Finally
Gain Access to Heaven.

Among the early fanatics Of the
Christian church was a group OF
zealots who sought to gain access
to heaven by living entirely unpro-
tected on top of a pillar. They
were called the sStylites" or 'sPillar
Saints" The most celebrated Of
them was Simeon the Stylite, the
subject of a poem by Tennyson.
st. Simeon lived in the neighbor
hood of Antioch, in Asia Minor, in
the beginning of the Fifth century.
He had been a monk, living in ex-
IRENE seclusion, and finally withdrew
to place 40 miles from Antioch,
where he built pillar and took up
his residence on its top. From this
column he moved to several others
in succession, each one higher than
the last, and the one on which he
died at the age Of seventy-two was
so feet in height. One Of his most
famous followers was Daniel, who
lived on a pillar near Constantinople
for thirty-three years. His perform
ance is particularly remarkable be-
cause of the climate Of that section,
which is very rigorous.

MINE TROUBLE LIFT

men down to the depths or up again,
is much like an elevator. In build
ing there are stairs, if the elevator
happens to be out of order. But
there are no stairs in mine, and if
the cage is out of order, the trouble
is serious.
Recently the bureau of mines has
contrived an emergency cage, which
can be used in such cases. 1t is a
simple affair, of steel strips riveted
together, with top and bottom of
sheet iron. Four or five men can
find standing-room inside of it, and
it can be lowered or lifted through
a shaft by winch. Following q
mine explosion or other disaster the
device is likely to prove of utmost
value where the regular cage is put
out of comnission.-Milwaukee

CATS AND BIRDS AT PEACE
Full Meals Spread Before Tables OF
Brooklyn Have Ended Their
War on songbirds.

Lovers Of birds who also love cats
are declared by some ornithologists
to be inconsistent, as the feline ami
mails are natural enemies Of the
feathered creatures. But a Brook
lyn woman asserts she has found
a method of making the two species
live in harmony, according to the
New York Sun.
In her home in lower Flatbush she
has three cats and two canaries and
there have been no casualties in re-
cent years. In addition many birds
nest in the trees Of her yard and
in the neighborhood. She has solved
the problem Of preventing a raid on
the bird population chiefly by CIV
ing her cats good big meal every
morning. Few well-fed cats, she
discovered, care to climb trees after
they feed, just for the fun of kill
ing. Given plenty to eat the cats
prefer to sleep and leave the birds
in peace.
At night, especially during the
birds nesting season, the cats are
locked up in the house. This wom-
ans plan Of having both cats and
birds has been adopted and the birds,
seeming to realize this protection,
flock more and more each year to
that section of the suburbs.
