Hardell has stressed plenty of this

He has a pretty well balanced

A NATIONAL DISASTER

TINE famous Peace Ship" had
J. been launched, to the indy
ing shame Of American journalism,
upon one vast wave of ridicule.
The whole thing was a disaster
but the ship had been chartered,
the announcements made, the
sailing date set for Dec. 4. 1t
was impossible to withdraw.
In Europe as we'll as in America
the peace conference idea had re-
ceiVed blow as tragic as it was
irreparable; and one Of the few
really generous and rational i'm
pulses of those insane years had
been snuffed out with a cruelty
and levity which are appalling.
Today the joke is less enjoy
able, and poSterity will remember
that it was not the fault of Mr..
Ford that his crusade was ca
tastrOphe.
Yet its actual effect was to
cloud the whole neutral peace
movement with an imbecile buff
foonery, Just three days, as luck
would have it, before Congress was
to reaSsemble in Washington.

THE COLONEL LEAVES

COL. HOUSE, however, enter
~ tanned no such unworthy
suspicious, nor, apparently, did
the President.
The two had a long conYersa-
ton over Grey's letter. Mr. Will
son felt that they must let the
Allies know how our minds are
running; and the idea of still an
other Odyssey OF personal ne
gotiation began to form.
On Dec. % Mr.. Lansing an
nounced the third coming of the
peacemaker in circular telegram
to the embassies, inStructing each
to impress upon the foreign
office that Col. House is not on a
peace mission"
On Dec. % he took ship for the
third time-now with a whole bat
terry of cameras swapping and an
army of half a hundred reporters
surrounding him upon the pier.
Discreetly the discreet colonel
said nothing.
At Falmouth, where he arrived
on Jan. 5, the British iOyfully
seized him, rushed him through
the controls, gave him taxis, gave
him a special sleeping car to Lon
don, gave him everything.

CAPTURING THE COLONEL

THE colonel was in his element
L and plainly having a mag
nifiCent time. The whole at
mosphere appears to have been
suffuSed with cordially and An
o-American friendship.
Yet, strangely enough, both
Grey and Balfour continued to
prove elusive. They doubted
whether their colleagues would
agree to too many concessions"
to American opinion in the way of
peace leagues and the ending of
militarism and navalism. Vainly
the colonel tried to make them
see that these wouldn't be conces-
SionS to the United States. 1t
was quite the other way around"
1t was the United States which
was making the concessions.
But somehow they seemed inca
pable of grasping this idea Per-
hapS it was just another case Of
that British stupidity which the
colonel had already noted.
House had originally intended
to leave all territorial and indem-
nifty questions to the belligerents;
but, after all, it was not very easy
to discuss peace in a vacuum. BY
the nineteenth Col. House had
been induced to confess his ideas
of what would be "reaSOna BILE" in
this respect.
A reasonable peace" he
thought, would have to include the
restoration of Belgium and Serbia,
the cessiOn of AIsace-LOrraine to
France and of ConstantinopIe 10
Russia.
Sir Edward must have breathed
a sigh of relief. That Germany,
still winning in nearly every thea
ter, would agree to cede Constan-
tinople) which the Allies had just
failed disastrously to take), to say
nothing of ner own territory Of
Alsace-LOrraine was patiently i'm
possible. The British statesmen
could at least conclude that there
was no fear of Germany's exploit
ing the colonels innocent activi-
ties, and Grey and Balfour now
thoroughly approved" his idea of
going on to Germany. On Jan.
20, House departed to explore the
situation in Berlin.
AS in 1914, as in 1915, now for
the third time in 1916 the British
had skilfully parted the House
menace, captured the colonel and
sent him onward to Berlin as an
emissary Of the Entente cause.

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

DID YOU ever wonder how some persons were able
- to read a book in two or three hours, while it
took YOU two three days to finish a story? Or
YOU one of those fast readers who can take in
whole sentences, and even whole pages in or two
glanceS?
Theodore Roosevelt. it is said was such a rapid
reader, and so is President Franklin d. Roosevelt.
The speed with which we read depends to a
great extent visual conditions. With plenty of
light with the right kind of printing. and with the
rapid than with relative darkness with column
that is too wide and with type that is too small
OF course the amount of contrast is what makes
~ reading easy. If there is plenty of white mixed
white light yellow paper without glare is the best
combination.
Eye specialists have studied the movement of the
eve while reading They find that the motion is not
continuous. 1t is series of movements and pauseS.
The eve reads along line, pauses near the end
of the line. and then jumps rapidly to the beginning
Of the next line. The narrower column demands
smaller Jump.
THE experts also found that the persons who
Il read the most rapidly also comprehend the
best. slow reader does not get any out of
book than fast reader. In fact tests among college
students showed that the fast readers were able
reproduce 81 per cent more of what they read than
were the slow readers

stress put on reading aloud Nowadays it is
recognized that the vast ajOrity of reading done

DEFENSE AND ALLEGIANCE"

THREE days after the Oscar II
i Henry Ford's peace ship
had departed con Dec. 4, 1879,
the statesmen were gathered to
hear President Wilson'S annual
message upon the state of the
nation.
1t was a repetition, in even
loftier and even less logical terms,
of his address in New York
month earlier. But it left no doubt
as to the Presidents strategy.
Defense and allegiance, as
Spring Rice happily summarized
it, was to be his platform.
; With impatience Col. House had
been awaiting the foreign min
ister's reply TO his great project,
Sketching in the meanwhile the
happy futures which were to flow
from his master stroke of diplo-
macy. q
Not until the end of November
did Grey's reply appear. One can
picture Houses excitement as he
scanned it; one can believe that
he was indeed frankly disap-
pointed" at what he saw. House
believed that he was offering to
the Allies what must amount to
the active Intervention of the
United States to impose upon the
Central Powers that peace of right
eousness, disarmament and de-
mocracy which the Allies mad been
demanding since the first days of
the war.
Yet Sir Edward revealed only
the most tepid interest in the
project.

the substance of the speeches
themselves.
For nearly a month now, quiet,
sensational cables had been filter
ing back into the White House
recording the secret progress of
an extraordinary negotiation. Col.
House had reached London on the
sixth of January. On his first day
he had made the happy discovery
that the minds of both Grey and
Balfour then first lord of the
admiralty were running parallel
with ours" The whole position
seemed Unexpectedly bright.
Grey is now in favor of the
freedom Of the seas provided it
includes the elimination of mill
tarism, and further provided we
will join in general covenant to
sustain it,; and this appeared so
promising that the colonel hoped
Immediately to formulate with
Grey and Balfour some plan
which they can recommend to
their colleagues"
This glowing report went on
Jan. 7, and Mr.. Wilson at once
cabled back that he would be glad
to cooperate in a policy of perma-
nent peace. This cable" says
Prof, Seymour, may we'll be re-
garded as historic" for it marked
President Wilson's first definite
commitment ION the urging of
Sir Edward Grey to a future
League of Nations.

hint that one of them was ready
to stop without making good the
promises to the others would alone
be enough to fracture their alli-
ance.
A peace conference, save with a
beaten enemy, would almost GER
tainly end in dissensiOn among
the Allies. rout and complete dis
aster. Only an iron-clad guaranty
by the United States to fight UNI
less Germany accepted the full
terms dictated by the Entente
could Justify the latter in risking
even the thought of conference;
and Houses letter fell very far
short of offering that.
Yet it opened great possibilities.
One Skillful show of indifference
had already sent House Scurrying
to blunt the point of Mr.. LanSing's
embarrassing protests. With care
full handling. the United States
might even be drawn forward I'LL
timately into the kind of alliance
which the Entente could make
use of.
