France is acting to compel the reduction of the German army and the maintenance of the treaty of Versailles and necessarily she has to act

alone.

|By Frank H. Stmoag*)

French policy, as represented in the decision to occupy Frankfort, must be interpreted in the light of the actual facts and not of the

imaginary conditions created by j British at the present time have conpropaganda to deceive the western centrated very great forces in Ire-

nations.

Parallel take an

Case of Ireland. obvious parallel.

By the treaty of Versailles the French were assured three things: The prompt reduction of the German army, the creation of a neutralized zone between the Rhine and France and for a fixed distance east of the river, the payment to France of a preliminary indemnity in the shape of a monthly coal contribution, intended to replace the coal yield of the Lens district which had been abolished by German depredations.

Fail is Three Prev Isles*.

Now the German* have failed to live up to any one of these three provisions. They have increased, not reduced their army; the coal payments have sunk to nothing, and. finally, thsjr have now. without allied permission. Invaded the neutralized area east of the Rhine. Thus the French see the treaty of Versailles transformed into a useless thing less than a year after it was signed. If the German continues to increase his army. If he obtains the right to violate the neutralised area, if he is able to evade the coal payment. France has lost all that the war could have brought to her, her terrible sacrifices have been In vain and she must face the possibility, the

land, because they feel the security of their empire is menaced in that quarter. If France should urge the British to permit the Sinn Fein to occupy Dublin and. in fact, to control Ireland, alleging that the real danger to Britain came from the Ulsterites and not the Sinn Fein, the sitnaticn would be about what exists In. Germany, with America and Britain urging the French to permit tors, the Junker elements to keep control of a great army and to Invade the

lt will thus be seen that there will be senatorial election* in fifteen states that are now represented by Republicans and in seventeen states that are now represented by Demo-

crats. ,

The senatorial fighting ground is admittedly rather narrow. As the politicians in the two parties figure ft. there are not .to exceed four states now represented by Republicans in which there is a chance for the opposition to win and not more than three states represented by the Democrats In which the opposition will have much of a chance to elect. According to this view, the fighting ground is limited to seven of the thirty-two states that will elect sena-

Both congressional committees were in session here this week, one-third of the senate, thirty-two senators, are to be elected, and an entirely new house of representafivea.

Just how the congressional cam- l paign will shape up is not yet clear to the politicians In a general way the Republicans will, of course. ; "point with pride** to what the present house has accomplished. On the other hand the Democratic representatives will take the position that the legislative record of* the majority is not what it should be. It seems inevitable that the question of whether federal legislation for the enforcement of nation-wide prohibition shall be modified wilt be an issue in many of the congressional districts. The “wets” have finally determined to try to elect as many representatives as possible who wilt favor federal legislation that will authorise the manufacture of beer and light wines of small alcoholic content. It seems to be settled that neither of the old parties will. In its national convention platform, lend any encouragement to the forces that would break down national prohibi-

tion.

Unless there wure some new justification ail the allied nations would combine to force the reduction of the army, but the British and American fear of Bolshevism is still so scute that the German* have calculated that it can be turned to their advantage and the army saved, if only there is a semblance of Bolshevism iu Germany.

Afraid of Hue Militarism.

Th* fact is that France is afraid of German militarism, and Britain and in a measure th* United States are •HU shaken with apprehension over the peril of Bolshevism. Thus, while the French are insisting that the German army be reduced, the British are quite willing to see th# German army maintained at least until there ia no more danger of German anarchy, But the French see quite clearly that the Germans can use this British apprehension to nostpone demobilisation indefinitely, until th# time when they can resist it openly. Thus allied policy comes to chaos. It is. of course, preposterous to charge the French with militarism at thia moment. What has actually! happened Is that American and British policy has, for reasons of obvious •elf interest, decided that th# real danger in Germany is Bolshevism, not Prusatanism. while th# French policy has concluded that the peril comes from th# mllitariatio direction.

It has established itself as a ear that operates at. a very low cost These are the results of rigid adherence to proved engineering practice and of sound and skflled construction.
