American labor is still sane, still loyal, still American. It does not propose to be led off into blind alleys of Bolshevism or destructive radicalism in any form. Faithful in war, it must stand ready to do its part no less faithfully In peace.

YANK FOLK 9QNG&

A speaker at the music 8up€rvisors* meeting in Hartford brought his hearers the cheering assurance that popular songs are bound to be better soon, because no songs can possibly be worse than the ones most heard today. There may be something In the idea, but a vagrant memory wandering about in the long procession of yesteryears seems to recall the fact that something of the sort la always said by professional musicians about popular songs.

They may not have said quite that when Stephen Foster's immortal songs were new, but Foster is altogether an exceptional personage. The general run of popular songs are always condemned by somebodyj Still they certainly do have their iips and downs. There was a period in the history of the country not so very far back when sentimental love songs Were all the rage. It was the period of "Sweet MarieP and **Bweet Violets." People

wanted their tunes served dripping with .honey, and got them. They were far from being the worst possible songs, but tastes changed and the coon song came into its own. "My Girl Is a High-Born Lady" waa a rattling good song, and so was that one about the little "Alabama Coon." Even the musicians admitted thai thd coon songs were not so utterly bad, but along came ragtime and drove them to despair. They were perfectly certain that the bottom of the abyss hiad been reached. However, it appear* that another bottom had been touched in these days of jazz.

May not the fact about all of this be that popular music, taken as a whole, in this country always Is contemptible—thai it always presents something as mushy as that song with the line "She may have seen better days," or as idiotic as "Papa Wouldn't Buy Me a Bow-Wow"—but that, here and there in the welter, there is generally a song or two that anyone can like?

A LITTLE FRICTION.

For some months after the American troops entered Germany there was much loose talk to the effect that the doughboys liked the Germans better than they liked the French or British. The Americans went Into a German German region that had bee^ untouched by war. They found it clean

and well organized, a violent contrast to the regions of France that had Buffered during four years of war. *They found the Germans affable and deprecatory, and they wrote home nice things about the Germans while Insist ing that the French were dirty and unpleasant. It was a rather alarming manifestation ,of American gulliblenes.V ». kl-,

Now the doufrfibtfrs are being awakened. The Germans in thr occupied areas see that nothing more is to be gained by. flawnlng on the Yankees. They have been told that there is dissension at Paris and that the Americans are unpopular there. They have been told that Americans back home do not uphold the president's course. They have therefore, suddenly become arrogant, provocative and altogether nasty In brief, they have thrown aside the disguise which they wore while they believed it might be profitable.

American soldiers are Jostled and insulted on the streets of Coblenz. When the German rowdies are in sufficiently large numbers they assault and even kill the unarmed Americans. The Yanks are no longer treated as friends and good fellows, but as hated enemies.1

Many American boys who have been fooled by the German pose have recently been disillusioned. The Americans- In the Coblenst region will be glad to begin the march to Berlin whenever Foch gives the order.

Very likely the recent manifestations of true Germanism will go far to offset the unconscious and unmaliclous propaganda of returned soldiers who have spoken well of the Germans and not very well of the French. The doughboys who have recently seen Germanism undisguised will have little patience with those who continue to spread the propaganda*

NO COMPLICATIONS.

The Tribune believes that the most mischief is being done the league of nations plan by those public men who are protesting that the league will involve us in European complications everlastingly and without hope of escape. What are the facts?

We can withdraw on two years' notice—it is always possible to correct the covenants. In fact if the senate of the United States ratify the treaty as drawn we can accompany this ratification with a resolution recommending 'that the president of the United States and the delegates of the peace conference or the American representative to the league of nations present amendments that are considered vital to making the covenant a perfect instrument which would in every way protect our sovereignty. The covenant as drawn is more or less of a compromise and there is no doubt that the crystalized sentiment of the best men the world over would approve of any honest criticism of the covenant that would help to make it strong and unbiased and eliminate any possible suspicion of endangering the. sovereignty of any member country, and but few i think our sovereignty is,seriously im-

paired with the little that we concede. It is difficult for the senate to separate the coverant from the treaty.

There is no question that the world is taking a tremendous etep forward in right thinking nations are contemplating "d|lng unto each other as they expect their citizens to do unto each other."

If politic® Is kept* of this rtwtter and the nations only send their strong, brainy men to this league who are noted for their eminent qualities and honesty of purpose, the world will be made a safe place to live In, and humanity the first time since the world was created will be started on the road to enjoying civilization such as we are enjoying In this country. The rights of all common people will be protected, as will also be the rights of capital.

The criticisms of the league are highly technical and, therefore, it can be put in a strong resolution of instructions of the president to see that the league covenants are corrected if possible if It cannot be corrected In a two-year period and we find the obligations under the covernant such that We cannot continue to be a member, then we can serve notice of withdrawing if the league does not prove of benefit to this country and to our citizens and to the people of the world at large, and if we find that it seriously interferes with our sovereignty.

Mars rules, strongly for good today, according to astrology. The sun is In beneflo aspect, but Saturn has evil power.

There seems to be the best of promise for all who belong to military organizations.

The army is well directed and American soldiers should attain freedom and honor under tills government of the stars,

While whatever is connected with war is subject to the best direction, Saturn seems to portend much scandal. The uncovering of what has been concealed is foreshadowed.

The secretary of war comes tinder a rule that is contradictory. While he will confront many problems he will also gain in popularity in many parts of the country.

Thu stars lurfending scandals seem to foreshadow the revealing of many hidden things. Divorces are likely to greatly increase In number.

This is said to be a lucky sway for those who confer with the powerful, whether in business or political life. It is a most auspicious time to seek recognition.

Race problems will much to the front at this time and there may be grave mistakes in policy.
