Individuals may be punished* the •German nation can only be called on to make reparation to the full limit of its ability. The fact of the German revolution does not carry any weight. It was a deathbed repentance. Today It is apparent that even this eleventh hour repentance was insincere.

tells the German government and the German people just where they stand todays There can be no further misapprehension. The allies speak with one voice. For half a year Germany stubbornly refused to accept the obvious fact that she was afi utterly vanquished nation. She went her way with an air of bravado, assuming to consider the armistice and the coming peace as mere episodes in the development of German destiny. Now she knows that her status is far below that of a nation vanquished in war. She is a criminal brought to justice for crimes unprecedently abominable. She cannot parley with the judges who have pronounced condemnation. Only because civilization demands strict justice is Germany permitted to escape with her national life. Appraised and labeled, Germany can consider herself fortunate that her judges are just men who are not devotees of the German code of international morality.

-TAKING IT CALMLY. 4

On Tuesday The Tribune announced that Senator Hiram Johnson had announced his candidacy for the republican, "presidential nomination, sfcext year. There doesn't seem to have been much of an echo. In fact, we cannot remember when any formal announcement of a presidential boom excited so little talk and excitement. In the announcement there was a suggestion of the wildfire of acclaim with which the news would be met, but the people have remained extremely cool and collected.

It is not probable that Mr. Johnson Jiimself expects to get the nomination, much less the election. The senator has many admirable traits as a public servant, his administration as governor of California made history on the coast, his association with Theodore Roosevelt gives him standing in party councils, that he would not otherwise enjoy and he is at-heart and in action a progressive but there are elements of weakness that sagacious party managers will not overlook.

Geography is against the senator. The country has never yet taken a president from West of the Mississippi, and is not likely to jump to the Pacific now, particularly not for the purpose of electing a man whose success would probably be considered an affront to a friendly nation in the orient. It is, of course, too early to say whether Mr. Johnson's hostility toward the Jeague of nations will by the fall of 1920 be a source of strength or weakness. Certainly, there is nothing now to indicate that the country is antileague In Its sympathies. Developments. of

completely discredit one who poposes to run for the presidency upon such a platform.

Old time republicans wtll not forget that Senator Johnson was a partner of Mr. Roosevelt in the progressive effort seven years ago to destroy the Party of Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. They finally came to forgive the leader of that revolt and were ready again to accept his leadership, but it is highly questionable whether this blanket of forgiveness can be stretched to cover the California senator.

No one is wise enough to forecast the issues of the next presidential campaign. Until the issues are at least outlined in brief in the public mind it la idle to talk definitely of candidates. "|n each'of the parties the situation in this respect is the same. No presidential boom started now need be taken very seriously.

SHERMAN'S SIZE,

The opposition to the league of nations has taken many forms. One day it is a "colorful league" which will be controlled by the black, brown and yellow races another day it is asserted that Great Britain will dominate the league again it is the contention that the league will cause future wars, and now Senator Sherman, of Illinois, denounced it as part of a religious plot Sherman offered no reason for his charges. He has been scored by editors of big newspapers for his. statement. He has mad? no reply.

If there is ever a contest- for the most useless member of the senate, Mr. Sherman will be highly esteemed
