The/sooner these things are done the sooner the country can begin to forget that there was any war and to think normally and healthfully about its problems.

Tl^re is but one thing that stands In the way of 'this back-to-peace program, and that is the attitude of a part of the senate* These senators may be powerful enough to delay the legislation necessary to readjustment for an Indefinite period, and to keep the treaty «pen. by refusing to ratify It. £They may, possibly, be able to defeat the treaty. That is the darkest cloud on the horizon, but it has the customary •Uver lining. When the president has presented his case tp the people and the senate has heard the debate to an •nd. it may be that the most of these (abstractionists will make up their tnind that both patriotism and political expediency demand that their party Shall line up for the treaty. Nothing that has happened yet shows that this .tfill not be the outcome.

.MOVE FORWARD.

*6The German government has signified its intention to sign the peace treaty without holding off for further concession. Nothing remains but to f»t the stage for the ceremony. I 'Far Germany the principal immediate gain will be an opportunity to resume foreign trade. The task will b® difficult. Russia, which was Germany's greatest trade territory, is off the commercial map so far as Germany

Is concerned. The great German mer'f chant fleet is scattered and the good Iwlll which was formerly a business 'asset of great value to Germany is «tone.

Nevertheless, some way or other, Germany must trade, and the nations »of the earth must be reasonable in this "regard. When trade with Germany is beneficial on both sides, and does no injustice to the countries that Germany despoiled, trade with Germany should be resumed, for otherwise the

Germans cannot meet their obligations abroad and oppose Bolshevism at home. Prejudice against Germany and German goods is inevitable, but the more rapidly it gives way to calgily reasoned policy the better. te In this country the end of the war with Germany would be followed by rapid abandonment of policies that had their origin in war and have no place in peace. Railroads and shipping should go to a peace basis. Congress Should forget that this country can foise and spend billions and should begin to think In millions, though until the war is paid for that ideal will rejpain in the future.

We are a powerful nation, but We cannot lick the world. We need protection and assistance, and in order to get them we must agree to do our bit for other nations. It is a mutual matter.

Fees ftf th& league concentrate their criticism and oratorical batteries on the one or two possibly weak points of the covenant

They pretend not to see and to conceal from the public its many fine features. Its strong and meritorious points immeasurably preponderate over its alleged weak or objectionable provisions.

THE NEGRO'S PROGRESS,

The Tribune is in receipt of the program for the convention at Cleveland this week of the national convention of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People The list of speakers includes A score or more of the most prominent men in the country. The whole program is indicative of the serious progress of the race.

The association had its birth in the Lincoln centennial year, as it gets much of its inspiration from the life and labors and achievements of the great emancipator. In response to a call sent out to the people of America to give thought to the condition of the negro, a conference was held in May, 1909.

That the organization had a duty to perform and a place among the many at work to advance the interests of the race is indicated by its rapid growth in membership. From l,(ft0 In 1912, to 50,000 la£t year and 65,000 now its members have multiplied as the practical utility of the association became manifest. It is hoped that by the end of the present conference its membership may have increased to 100,000.

Organized to fight wrongs against the negro race, to keep the public informed of injustices perpetrated against colored people and to correct such conditions whenever possible, the association has been a, persistent investigator and a conscientious enemy of wrongdoers. It has promoted antilynching conferences and campaigned against th* aentiment that tacitly justifies this form o? murder. It has se-

A number of rabid members in the senate would so amend the covenant as to render it null and void or unacceptable to the other members thereof.

America is essentially a part of the family of nations. Scientific inventions and discoveries have brought about that condition. We can no longer hide our head like the ostrich to foreign affairs. X»eague opponents claim it will plunge the world into its worst war. They cite the antiquated doctrine of "foreign entanglements," and other equally obsolete policies. The big war demonstrated the impossibility of a policy of isolation. We were forced .into the war regardless of the oceanic separation. We had to send our army and nary across the ocean to save our lives and vindicate our rights. Our geographical position and imaginary aloofness did not keep us out of the late "foreign" war.

It is an association militant for justice. It seeks political and civil equality, equal justice in the courts, an equitable expenditure of public funds for education, sanitation, health and police protection. These are aims which any fair fninded American should be ready to gfant. There is no color lia« in an honest democracy.

WHAT WE READ.

The sympathy of the people may go out to the judges, or the jury, selected to decide upon the Columbia University Joseph Pulitzer annual prizes —more particularly the poetry and Action prizes. The juries have asked no consideration, however, and their decisions admit of no reversal.

The jury which decided upon the best volume of verse published hy an American author during 1918 consisted of Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale Richard Burton and Sara Teasdale Filsinger—the prize winner a year ago. They divided the prize between Margaret Widdemer, her book being "The Old Road to Paradise," and Carl Sandburg, with "Comhuskers." v

Margaret- Widdemer is a Penftsyl* vanian and wrote her first published poem while scarcely more than a child. She^ wrote "The Rose Garden Husband," "Winona of tl^e Camp Fire" and has published two volumes of verse. Carl Sandburg is an Illinois man, an all-round writer for the press, a progressive poet and a resident of Chicago.

The Pulitzer prize of $1,000 for the American novel published during the year, "which shall best present the wholesome atmosphere of Americah life and the highest standard of American manners and manhood," went to Booth Tarkington for his "The Magnificent Ambersons," the jury consisting of Robert Grant, William Morton Payne and Prof. Phelps.

It may be a matter of some interest to note that Tarkington is close to his fiftieth birthday that he was born in Indianapolis, where he still lives that his first literary success was "The Gentleman from Indiana,1* 3899, that he has written more than twenty novels—and no failures, and that he is a grand-son of St. Mary-of-the-Woods, that highly efficient institution west q£ this city.

Small wonder his natiw town is spoken of as Tarkingtonapolis.
