ANOTHER “ANTI” BUBBLE IS BURSTED

While the country has been con 'fidently awaiting the pleasure of the senate in ratifying the treaty of peace and the league of nations covenant with nothing more than minor reservations, it has been Interesting to follow the tactics of \be “bitter-enders” in their effort? ’•to magnify some alleged flaw in •the documents. The main features •of the pact have proved satisfactory so that the objectors have been forced to exploit their self-styled of whole-hearted Americanism on some alleged weak links. ’They first decided that the Shantung provision offered hope of the /greatest returns and proceeded to gmlnt with graphic touch the enormity of the crime perpetrated against China, the treachery oi Japan and the bad faith of the United States in inducing China to enter the war and then to be tray her into the hands of hei rival. There is no doubt that the Shan%ung provision was not pleasing tc 4he great body of the American ■people nor to the peace, delegation at Paris. The president 1/imsell

admitted that he had experienced deep regret in consenting to the bargain but he declared that under the circumstances it was the best arrangement that could be made. He also showed how China under the league of nations provision would have the opportunity to come into court for* a settlement of any alleged wrongs whereas without the league the United States alone would not care to compel Japan to relinquish the province by force cf arms. The president defined the issue clearly and the argument proved convincing to the country as a whole. The treaty opponents turned to the “6 to 1” slogan, contending that Great Britain would! be enabled to outvote the United States 6 to 1, by reason of her ability to< count on the votes of dependencies such as Canada and Australia, represented in the assembly of the league. The irreconcilables figured that such an appeal to the antiBritish and latent pro-German sentiment in the United States would evoke a response that would /suffice to wreck the entire covenant. Their argument was answered by the president’s plain elucidation of the facts. With the main grist of the Fall amendments discarded the country may rest assured that the senate has sensed public opinion In the nation sufficiently to insure a similar fate for other radical provisions. No determined objection has been raised to mild reservations but the country is in no mood to permit action necessitating the reopening of the Paris conference. — Sunday’? Indianapolis Star (Rep.)

PECULIAR STATED OF INDIANA SENATORS

In view of the fact that fully 80% of the people of Indiana, regardless of their political affiliations, are for the ratification of the peace pact and league of nations covenant with few if any modifications, and the further fact that the Indianapolis Star, the (acknowledged state organ of the Republicans, and the Indianapolis News, also Republican, are likewise supporting ratification of the treaty. It is Surprising that both the Republican senators from this state —'Watson and New —Should line up with the opposition as unqualifiedly against ratification in any /form.

the red-blooded, hard-playing men. of the U. S. Navy. Pay begins the day you join. On board ship a man is always learning. Trade schools develop skill, industry and business ability. Thirty days care-free holiday each year with full pay. The food is good. First uniform outfit is furnished free. Promotion is unlimited for men of brains. You ran enlist for two years and come out broader, stronger and abler. Shove off —Join the U. S. Navy. If you’re between 17 and 35 go to the nearest recruiting station for all the details. If you don’t know where it is ask your postmaster.

Both these small-bare senators; have been very hitter in their denunciation of the pact and evidently hope—as do their other opposition colleagues—to reap a littla political advantage in their opposii tion to the wishes of the people., Watson is nnw announcing himself as a candidate for the presidency—his opposition to the wishes of his constituents making it unthinkable to renominate him tp the senate, and he knows that he. can’t get the nomination for president. Hence he retires from public life as a defeated candidate for the nomination . thereto. In this way he evidently expects to be “let down easy.’”

Born together, like the Siamese twins, Mary and Margaret Gibb, daughters of Mur. and Mrs. John Gibb of Holyoke, Mass., are regular attendants at the First Presbyterian church. They were born in Springfield, Mass., May 20j. 1912. They ar® brought to the chnrch in. a large twin carriage and when (they are 1 in the pew no one would 'know that they are joined together. /Mr. and Mrs. Gibb have repeatedly refused offers to exhibit the children, and have never been willing that! a, photograph of them should be published.
