MOrganthau Tells
Continued from FACE one)

'What Nitti and the other paci-
fists want-a treaty that is peace
is an impossibility whenever nations
and not merely governments have
been emphasized. The Spanish war
has left no traces, but can we say
as much of the Mexican war between
America and Mexico? And is It not
true that it took almost two genera
tons to change the feeling left in
the south after the Civil war?
People say that the treaty Is i'm
moral because it disagrees with the
fourteen points and because the
reparations commission which Il in
stituted is a tyrannical super-gov-
eminent, but on June s, 1919, Presi-
dent Wilson declared that the treaty
seemed to him in perfect accord with
his fourteen points, and as for. the
reparations commission, it was the
idea of the American delegation.
The greatest reproach against the
treaty is that it's annexations are sure
some day to arouse the anger, espe-
cially of Germany. and bring about
fresh wars. What people have in mind
when they say this is the creation at
the expense of Prussia, Austria. Hun
gary and Turkey of what an economist
calls numerous and sundry new ma

ment should be possible Is amazing.
The creation of those nations was not
only the main concern of the IL points.
but gave the World War its moral
character. The liberation Of Poland,
Czecho Slovakia, Jugo Slavia and Tran
sylvania is the counterpart of centu-
rles of oppression of those nations.
People also say that the treaty
caused the economic collapse of Eu-
rope. The present lecturer has his
doubts about this so-called collapse. AS
early as 1919 Keynes and Angel had
predicted that it would come within, a

and prophets are still prophesying.
Meanwhile we hear travellers stating
that Russia is fast recovering, Austria
is getting better every day. We have

she builds 375,000 tons of shipping ev-
cry three months, beating every other
nation by a long way, and the recent
report of the American-Europea at
taches about her economic condition
proves that she is building factories,
canals and railroads faster than she
did before the war. We are compelled
to make sharp distinction between
wealth and money" .--..
The lecturers conclusion was that
contingencies may make the remodel
ling of the treaty necessary, but this
ought to be done carefully and respect
fully, and. above all, the nations of
the world should be prepared to make
sacrifices, if such. are necessary, in
the remodelling and not expect all the
sacrifices to be made by France alone"

Ask Business
Men to Help in
War Veterans Case

An appeal to Waterville business
men to assist in absorbing into in
dustry the three or four thousand
disabled war veterans who are COM
pleting government training courses
monthly was made today by the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States through the Waterville Cham
Der of Commerce. The national
chamber calls attention to the obli-
cation which rests on the business
interests of the country to cooperate
with the government to the end that
all Of the men be given employment,
and offers a number Of practical sug-
gestions for the guidance Of local
chambers of commerce in the work.
1.-THE men who are being trained"
says the national chamber, ARE
trained in many lines and are pre-
pared to meet adequately the physi-
cal and mental demands that their
new occupations will place upon
them. The government can only re-
habilitate and train the men up to
the point Of employability. From this
point the employing interests Of the
country must carry on"

Mayor Tebbetts has accepted the

Mayor Tebbetts invites any young
men of the city between the ages

governors of the New England states
and the mayors of all the principal
cities in the six states will do like

ton, the schedule includes calls
themes, athletics, swimming and
educational and recreational fea-
lures, under the supervision of high
1y trained officers, and there will be
no expense to the student at all.

be given to the camps is that or
former students. many OF whom are
returning to take up the advanced
courses.

Dun's Report

New Yory, July 27.-Dun's tomorrow
will say:
Hesitation characterizes the situa-
ton in some important staple lines
and checks early orders, but in other
departments of trade new business is
in fair volume for this season. Con-
ditions as to the growing cotton crop
bear heavily on the markets for cotton
goods. and while some interest is al
ways manifest at this period, II is
greater this year because of the larger
cotton acreage and because of the pos
sibility of very heavy yield. In the
meantime cotton goods production is
materially reduced as operators are in
disposed to continue output with ex-
listing uncertainties. New England
producers now report substantial or
ders for shoes. and hides are more &C.
tive. with prices for staple grades
high. Even in the iron and steel in
dustry early delivery orders are quite
numerous. Curtailment of production
now just apparent is on orders booked
early in the year, blast furnace activity
in the Pittsburg district being some
what less.

WILL HAVE ANTHRACITE ,
SHORTAGE IN WATERv|LLE
AGREE LOCAL RETAILERS

Waterville is to experience a seri-
Gus shortage Of anthracite coal dur
ing the coming winter, according to
opinions expressed yesterday by
| leading coal retailers when the Ken
| nebec Journal reporter made a can
vas of the more important coal dis
tributing offices for the purpose of
disclosing just what condition exists
in local coaldom and what the future
| has to offer in the line of encourage
| ment or encouragement.
by the first of September, Water
Vile will have received less than so
per cent. of her normal anthracite
requirements" said one dealer when
] questioned as to the amount of coal
: on hand and the prospects Of early
fall deliveries.
THE other so per cent. shipment
necessary to meet Waterville's winter
fuel demands will have to be deliv-
| cred later, If at all, in the face of a
very possible strike and winter de-
| livery conditions which are very I'M
certain" this dealer continued.
Last winter, Waterville had an in
| SUFFICIENT supply Of anthracite coal
| with which to warm homes and BUSH
ness establishments. This year, the
situation promises to be one calcu-
lated to cause even great anxiety be-
| fore the spring of 1924 arrives.
we did not have enough coal last
year." said another dealer when ques-
toned, land I am very sure that we
are going to have less this winter.
| There seems to be plenty of bitumi-
nous coal in the city but citizens are
not anxious to use this type. They
may be forced to- however, before
| the end of the coming winter If yes
| terday's representations of the coal
dealers are authentic, and there is
| every reason to believe that their
| figures and estimates are correct.
Waterville buyers have been urged
| to use pea coal and buckwheat wher-
| ever possible in order to alleviate
the demand for anthracite of which
there is an insufficient quantity fol-
| universal distribution. Stove coal is
practically out of the market and
there is very little Of this grade in
Watervilles yards.
"Waterville is drawing her allot-
| ment, as provided by the State board
but there is little possibility of furth
er shipments being secured, owing tc
the shortage elsewhere in Maine an6
New England" said another dealer.
When asked a. to their opinion oil
the threatened strike Of the miners
| in the anthracite division. local deal
ers were unanimous in their opinion
that the strike would have a very
great effect upon the output of the
most desired grades. One dealer sale
that he did not think that there would
be very early settlement of the ex-
listing controversy between the Goa
operators and the union workers. i
is generally felt among local dealer:
that the miners will surely go out or
