the treaty. Neither Washington nor
London took any account of this con-
dltion, and therefore Berlin took their
legitimate proposals as encourage
ment of general resistance against
the treaty. Therefore, Germany's
sterile resistance is the fruit of Wash
ington's and London's c1umsiness.
France was wrong in not placing
herself at the very outset, in 1920 and
1S21, on the firm ground Of her rights
by summoning her convention sigma
tories to an observance of the written
engagements.
For the great problems of the day
there are two kinds Of solutions-col-
lectfve or individual. II France asked
her allies of yesterday to choose be-
tween these two methods, would she
not gain an immense moral advan-
tage therefrom?
There is no time to lose. For how
ever great Europe's difficulties today,
they are nothing compared with an
other war. The writer does not
prophesy war, but whoever knows
the facts will agree that Germany is
. acting as il she thought war was a
certainty. AS she alone has this at
titude, there is nothing easier than
to paralyze her bellicose aspira ations
by clear affirmation of the desire OF
the rest of the world for peace.

WOOD VET0ES MEASURE
FOR $50, 600 RELIEF FUND
Governor General Believes Such
Law Contrary to Organic Act

MANILA. December 29.-Gov. Gen.
Leonard Wood vetoed a bin passed by
the legislature, providing for an appro-
priation of $4,000 for. extending relief,
in case of urgent necessity, for persons
who are destitute or affiicted as the re-
suit Of calamities. The bill is identical
with a measure vetoed nearly a year
ago.
The governor general pointed out.
In aff1xing his veto to the bill, that
under its provisions the secretary of
the interior would have discretionary
control over the, expenditure of the
fund. This provision the governor
general considers contrary to the
Jones law (the organic act Of the
islands), which gives to the governor
general supervision apd- control. over
all eaecutfve5 departments of'.the I'M

LONDON, December 29.-Recogni-
tion of the Russian soviet govern
ment will be one of the first acts OF
the new labor government. The con
servatives are raising an outcry
against the idea, but the decision is
foregone conclusion. as the liberals
are in broad agreement with labor
on its European policy.
1t is equally assured that Ramsay
Macdonald, the new prime minister
can count on liberal support in
adopting a new attitude toward
France. The late election was not
only a defeat for Stanley Baldwin
but was almost equally a decisive
declaration against Premier Poin-
cares Ruhr policy.
Waited With Alarm.
The Christmas festival is over and
London awaits the new year with an
unprecedented curiosity, not unmixed
with alarm. No doubt now exists
government in history will be in
power, and the fact is creating great
perturbation in the moneyed classes.
IL Is strange to see the conserva-
tiFeS stretching lmplorfng hands TO
their ancient enemies, the liberals,
to save them from the wrath to
come. Agonized appeals are being
made to III. III. Asquith to stand in
with the conservatives against the
red tide. If he cared to he might
make his own terms for resuming
office and be hailed as the savior of
his country, with assurance of the
obedient support of his old oppo-
nents.
The Harmsworth press, after hav-
ing reviled Mr.. Asquith for ten years,
now is grovelling before him as the
man of destiny, who alone can turn
back the flood of bolshevism.
Owe once to Liberals.
But Mr.. Asquith and the liberals
VIII nave no alliance with the con-
servatives, will vote for their dis

in the success of these proposals be-

wide, and-considering the psyche

! see that it is provided. This applies
to the dog in his kennel, the hogs in
the pen, the cattle in the pasture, CT
the chickens in the yard.
The farmers pasture should con-
tain one or more shade trees. 1t is
good investment, for extreme heat
will cause consequent financial loss.
Many animals die from want of
shade or shelter from the sun. The
resultant financial loss is always
greater than the small investment re-
quired to bring them shelter and also
comfort.
Another thing needed in hot
weather is much water for all the
animals. See that plenty of fresh
water is always handy for the dog,
tn cat, the horses, the cows, the hogs,
the chickens, the birds,--in fact, all
animals. The expense is nothing.
1t merely requires the little effort it
takes. And he wLo has animals
should be willing to make this effort;
if not willing, he should dispose of
them, or else they should be taken
from him. We have no moral right
to subject any animal to unneces-
sary suffering.
In extremely hot weather, do not
ship any more animals than neces-
saIy. Terrible suffering is entailed
in the shipment of livestock in hot
weather. And where it is done, let it
be watered often.
Tie the horse in the shade. He
will travel much better and render
greater service if this is done. Water
frequently.
If few of the ordinary rules of
humaneness and considerations are
observed, much suffering will be
eliminated.

SHELTER FROM HEAT

Shelter for dumb animals is needed
IL hot weather as we'll as IL cold. In
fact, in extreme heat suffering is
intense and shelter is even more
necessary.
Every animal which is confined is
entitled to protection from the hot
rays of the sun, and owners should
