The Treaty Is Signed.

The importance OF TINS Gay III the
history Of the world will not have been
established when the scratch of pens
on parchment in the clock room Of
the Quay d'OrSay signalizeS the agree
ment among fifteen nations TO substi-
tute pacific settlement for the settle
ment by force of disputes between them
and publicly 10 renounce war as an in
strinent Of their policy. The sig
niflc2nce Of this day, among all those
DAYS which have marked the feeble
attempts Of man in the past to dodge
the curse of war. is not sttested merely
by the coiorful, strictly formal yet SIM
pie ceremony in Paris today, or the
gathering Of world statesmen that it
has brought about A click Of the
wheel Of fortune tomorrow may upset
al that. The future. not the present
or the past, is to assay the labors Of
this day and determine their value.
Yet this should be a day of rejoic
tng among the nations Of the world,
not the JOY of reaching goal or OF
completing a task but of setting a goal
and starting out to reach it. The cere-
mony in Paris today should be regarded
only in this light. 1t does not repre-
sent the attainment Of the millennium,
nor does it mean that the world has
reached a proximity 10 the millennium
which affords even a distant view or
shadowy outline OF its proportions. But
1t does mean that fifteen nations Of
the world have ceased TO regard the
~outlawing'' Of war by treaty as term
too fanciful for serious thought, and
that they have been willing to grasp
gamelv this straw with the thought
that while it may not be unfailing as
a life preserver. il may lead to flrmer
and more lasting safeguards.
Secretary Kellogg, as the representa-
tive of the United States and the
author Of this treaty. was giTen the
honor today Of leading the procession
of dignitaries into the clock room.
where. seated about horseshoe table,
they signed the paper But when Mr..
Kellogg wrote his signature he sur
rendered. in effect, this honorable lead
ership and passed it on to the United
States Senate Great Britain, France
and several other nations have decided
70 hold back, not to ratify the treaty
until the United States ratifies it. Pain
ful experiences Of the past have taught
them the failacy of counting diplo-
matte chickens before the mother hen
has demonstrated her intention OF
Matching them. At this date, with the
ceremony N Paris and all it implies
fresh In mind, the possibility that the
Senate may follow traditional course
and develop an acute attack OF jeal-
ousy over the tIeaty-making efforts OF
the executive seems remote. indeed.
For the treaty has carefully avoided
committing this country to those things
which in the past the Senate has de-
clined TO acknowledge.
The strength Of this treaty signed
Ii Paris today, however, depends al
together upon the moral support that
it derives from the people. If, in the
United States. the desire TO give it sup
port has been sufficiently awakened.
there need be no great fears Of what
the Senate will DO. Lacking this sup
port, the treaty signed today and the
noble sentiment behind it may as well
be relegated as a scrap Of paper and
an idle dream.

One Tuesday he failed to report for
duty, and the next day being Wednes-
day nothing was seen of him until
Thursday morning.
Where were you Tuesday," asked
his boss.
We'll, you see, it was this way" he
explained Il have been eating at a
certain restaurant, where they always
print on the bill of fare on Tuesday
Chicken and Waffles Tomorrow. /
went there Monday evening. and the
first thing I saw was Chicken and
Waffies Tomorrow Then, though 1t
was Monday, thought il was Tuesday,
and that tomorrow would be Wednes-
day. So l stayed off Tuesday, thinking
it was Wednesday, and it wasn't until
Wednesday morning that / realized
that it was really Wednesday and not
Thursday. So. being my day off. I
stayed home. of course"
Yes kind friends, he got away with
it."
