agreement nothing has been required
Of these powers. France, as a mat
ter Of fact, has Lost one battleship
which she was 10 retain and is'
therefore, entitled 70 build another to
replace Il. There is as yet no indi-
cation, however, that she will avail
herself Of the opportunity. As n
matter of fact, the practical effect Of
the naval limitations treaties upon
France is largely negligible. There
Is little likelihood, therefore, that
she will fail TO ratify them.

Relief for Officers Only

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. have recently read several
letters on your editorial page from
wounded ex-reserve officers urging the
MASSAGE Of the Bursum bill. There are
several Bursum bills before Congress,
but the one to which refer is the
bill providing for the retirement Of
wounded ex-reScrve ofieers on three
quarters pay.
As q former corporal Of the marines,
wounded in action, / would give you
my humble opinion Of tho bill. /
admit an prejudiced against ell
bonus bills, whether for wounded men
(ualess totally disabled) or for able
bodied ex-seryiee men.
The Bursum bill Is a preferential
bill in that Il provides q bonus for ex-
reserve officers only. Why should an
ex-reServe officer be retired on three
quarters pay and in addition receive a
monthly compensation check from the
Veterans Bureau, while the poor
wounded enlisted man receives only
the check from the Veterans Bureau7 ?
Most wounded ex-reserve officers
held better positions before the war
than the enlisted men. and in many
cases they now hold still better posi-
tions. Then why give this added COM
pensation without also eompenshtinE
the wounded ex-enlisted men? Is It
fair? OF course It is not.
Disabled regular army officers we're
retired on three-quarters pay because
they were trained only FOR n military
life. EX-MARTNE.

Lichnowsky's 8 Insight
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; In "The Living Age" Of June
10, 1919, is an article on ~Ths Future
Of Germany" By Prince Iichnowsky,
translated from the original In "pie
Neue Rundsehau." The author then
says;
"We need not anticipate a psrlna-
nent political and economic boycott,
because such a measure presupposes
the complete unAnimity Of all other
countries; aud Il Is a matter Of ex-
perlence that such unanimity never
survives the common enmity that
creates a. Hatred and indignation
alone will not be sufficient 70 inspire
such q policy for all time to come,
no matter how powerful these ssnti-
ments may momentarily be in the
hearts Of all our enemies. Gradually
other considerations and feelings
will press TO the front and will
destroy tho unity Of our opponents,
which Is oemented solely by common
dangers and threats"
Now, clearer insight into the future
conduct Of the Allies has not been i'm
pressed by any one that I know Of.
And Germany's conduct has been ex-
aetly what Il should have been ex-
pected TO be, for any ono who knew
Germany at all since 1908. or there
abouts. Her principle has been:
"wait-dslsy--do nothing-pay moth
Ing; tho Allies will disagree and we
shall profit"
II is the growing fashion 70 criticize
France. The we'll known cry Of Mill
tarisn" is raised In Germany and re-
psated here. Your paper has over and
over again defended France. Many

HvIan Helps the Kan

All a weak cause needs 70 make
II strong is persecution or the APP
rearance Of persecution. Mayor
rylan's peremptory order to Police
Commissioner Enright to "drive the
Ku-Klux out of New York" has null
tiulied It's numbers in this city, judg-
ing BY the additional noise It has
been making since the order was
issued.
Now Mr.. Hylan gives the sheet
and pillow case gentlemen another
boost by demanding that the Presi-
dent of the United States suppress
one of their publications.
The Tribune believes that the
Klan idea, being based on religious
and racial prejudice, Is indefen-
sible. But the fantastic hummery
which It maintains in titles and cos
Tunes would soon suecumb TO the
American sense Of the ridiculous II
men like Mr.. Hylan did not seek to
make political capital by barking
at it. .
If the klokards and wizards and
IkleagIes are allowed 70 discover
that their ounces caps and bed
clothing are frightening nobody
they will soon get discouraged and
quit. II, on the other hand, Mr.
Hvlan emits a shrek Of terror
every time a wizard waves a wand
at him they may In time become
really formidable.

The Hearst Boy. and the Buses

The report that Mr.. H'srst's In
dependence League is again TO rise
and walk Is credible. A fragment
Of It went tc Syracuse IN september
to demand that its pr prietor be
nominated for Governor by the
Democrats. A few more "pvivors
are planning TO go TO Albany to tell
the Governor-eleet that New York
needs more bus lines.
Apparently the profit that the
Tammany politicians got out Of the
BUS lines has inspired the leaguers
with the hope that they can go and
do likewise. Just now Mr.. Hylsn.
who 10 ostensibly their friend, Is
operating no more bus lines than
are needed by Tsmmsny politicians
But II the Governor and the Legis-
lature can be persuaded TO establish
many more there may be piekings
for the leaguers.
Ny. Hearst no doubt would be glad
If this should happen. At present
he is the leagues only supporter. A
little revenue from bus lines would
keep the boys together till 1924 and
there might bc fewer calls on his
private purse.
He is going to need them in 1924
A man cannot be nominated for
President without support Of some
kind, and even the remnant Of the
Independence League would be bet
ter at q national convention than
nobody.

The Volstead Initant
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; As an old voter Of the Re-
publican ticket for over forty years
cannot understand Why the party
elings TO the Anti-ssloOn League and
backs up the volstead act. After the
elections in Eovenaber last it is evi-
dent what the voters think Of the law
In the intelligent and p0pulous parts
OF the country.
Why nov use a little common sense
and modify the diseredlted act and
make IL somewhat fair, reasonable and
moro in line with the wishes Of the
people at largoi Unls-s the Repub-
heans modify the enforcement law
they cannot elect the President in
1894, and quite Justly.

Peace Treaty BIunders

The controversy between Jonn
Foster Dulles and Norman II. DAVIS
over President Wilson'S responsible
stv for the unfortunate reparation
provisions Of the Versailles Treaty
Is too much confined 20 a single
point. Mr.. Dulles was one OF the
counsel TO the American peace com
mission. He was hard headed, and
thought that the peace ought TO 90
something more than satisfy the po-
litical exigencies Of the moment. he
wanted a more concrete and realistic
settlement. So he vigorously op-
posed the inclusion Of pensions and
war allowances in the reparstion TO-
tai. holding, besides, that no such
extension Of Germany's pecuniary
obligations was contemplated in the
Wilson terms on which Max OF
Baden's government committed itself
70 an srmistice.
Mr.. Dulles says that Mr.. Wilson
vas with him at first but later sue
cumbed TO General Smuts's elo-
euenee, SHUTS being the proponent
Of the pension plan. The President
was also at first in agreement with
the commissions financial experts
who wished 10 have the reparation
total fixed definitely st something
like $4,000, 100000. Afterward he
Yielded 70 the opportunities Of Lloyd
George and Klotz, each Of whom pre-
Serred to let q reparstion commits
don fx the total on or before May /,
1921 thus giving Germany two
years In which to hght for reduction
ar cancellation and leaving ample
time for national frictions to break
down the war entento.
As events were TO show, Mr.. Will
bon erred In compromising on these
two points. A treaty carrying a
fxed total Of $4,000, 100000 would
have been far better for everybody
concerned than the existing treaty
But Mr.. Wilson sinned passively.
He and Klotz and Clemencesu were
really victimized by Lloyd George.
The latter went TO Paris after win
ming the "khah" election on de-
msnd for the Kaiser's head and pay
ment by Germany Of all Allied war
expenses. He was the chief obstacle
% a sensible repsration settlement
Yet Il has been disclosed since that
even while the treaty was being
drawn 10 cover his political commit
ments st home he was already
maneuvering 70 make the reparaticr
provisions q dead letter-a course
which he continued 70 pursue sys'
temAtically from the day the treaty
was signed until he fell from power
Keynes said that Lloyd Georg'
"bamboozled" Wilson and then IN the
later stages Of the conference wal
