"The first condition of any German recuperation would appear to be that Germany should recognize the. facts of the present state of the world, which idle has been mainly instrumental in creating, and realize lha! she cTsnot escape unscathed. The share which she j.-s being called upon to hear of the enormous calamity that has befallen the world has been apportion J by tho victorious powers not to her desert?, but to her ability to bear it." This is not only fair and logical nrKunient. but it js the finest kind of propaganda for German consumption. It is fine, too, for the consumption of those Americans, whether native or foreign-born, who have been phedding sentimental tears over the "injustice" one to Germany.

There Is only room for one flag in Lake county and that ! the Stars and Stripes. There is room for only one language and that Is the language of the people of the United States. TWO-DOGS-IN-THE MANGER. It -will be well for the women of this country to watch for future reference the attitude of the United States senators who are now busily engaged in blocking equal suffrage in the senate. They were robbed of the right to vote by a small minority and it is possible fcough not probable that equal suffrage will be blocked again. Yesterday Senator Watson, of Indiana, brought up the motion to pla;e the suffrage amendment on the calendar. What happened, two southern democratic senators. Underwood, of Alabama, and Smith, of Georgia, were on their feet in a jiffy and objected. This effectually blocked early consideration of the woman suffrage amendment. If legislators at Washington want to conduct political suicide and seek to kill the party that elected them, they will go on objecting to woman suffrage. If the will by the people of this country is to be thwarted bj a few senators from the south it will be a sorry day for the south when the thwarting takes place. Thi women of this country have earned the right to vote and they sooner or later will get that .right. NOT ALL the Underwoods and Smiths in the land can stop them. It is dog-in-the-manger spirit to try to deprive the womA of America of something they cannot be stopped from getting eventually. A house full of brick will fall on these senators one of these days.

NO REVERSAL IS DESIRED. There is a tendency in pome places in the United States to hark back this year to the Fourth of July celebration of past years and the tendency is wron? and should be nipped in the bud right now. The Christian Science Monitor prints it very plainly when it says: 'Memory of the "old-fashioned" celebration of th American Fourth of July, not many years back, is still vivid enough to raise immediate opposition to the idea of restoring that saturnalia of explosive noise and fires in the larger cities. The "celebration" grew more and more undesirable, the yearly recurrence of the holiday became more and more a subject of dread to great num

bers of people, its annual record of destruction of prop-

erty became a convincing argument agtiinst it. and city after city, under the slogan of a "Safe and Sane Fourth." did away with the sale of the worse forms of explosive. The first signs of an effort again to legalize such sales has stirred protest, and it may reasonably be believed that the nation will not return to a method of celebrating its birthday that had been allowed to grow into an excuse for hoodlumism, and to which the belter thought of every community objected.

A WORTHY MOMENT. j That Boy Scout week which begins in America nest J month is enlisting to its, aid all that is best in American j spirit and leadership is shown by the tremendous impel;; given the movement everywhere. Cardinal Gibbons, t. j great archbishop of the Catholic church in a letter from t the cardinal's residence last week says: j "The young boys of the nation are its fathers to be. j We. as a nation, are best prepared when we train them; in the right principles of American patriotism. To make 1 them the fit citizens of tomorrow is the sacred obliga- i tion that rests upon us all. ; The Catholic church with untiring cffo'.ts treks j so to train them from their earliest rears. Religion is , the basis of true citizenship for the young and for t he j old. We welcome w ith our fellow citizens, any aeency j which developing this religious spirit, will train youth

in the immediate obligations and duties of cttizen.-nip. ; The Boy Scouts particularly in their splendid labors j during the war have shown how their organization helps ;

towards such a result. It is an organization that does i '

not deny, but builds upon the religious faith of the b y member; that exacts of him the faithful observance of all his religious duties. Such a movement for the promotion of right citizenship has our hearty approval and we recommend to the priests and laity of America in answer to the call of the president, the formation of Catholic units of Boy Scouts."

HARD FACTS FOR GERMANY. The allies have got down to brass tacks in the answer given to protests of the German representatives against the economic provisions of the peace treaty. To Brockdorff-Rantzau's complaints about Germany being robbed of all her merchant shipping, the allies calmly reply that Germany wantonly sunk nearly 13,000,000 tons of allied shipping during the war, and the victors are only taking from her about one-third of that amount" a very moderate loss, for which her own criminal deeds have been responsible." As for the farming areas taken from Germany, the Germans will be able henceforth to buy wheat, potatoes and other products from these areas, because they are still productive, having "escaped the shocking fate which was dealt out by the German armies to the corresponding territories in Belgium, France, Poland, Koumania and Serbia." As for the coal deposits lost, the Germans are reminded of their own wanton destruction of the coal supplies of northern France. "An entire industry was obliterated with a calculation and a savagery which it will take many years to repair. The result has been a grave and prolonged shortage of coal in western Europe. There can be no reason in equity why the effect of this shortage should be borne exclusively by the allied nations who were its victims, or why Germany, who deliberately made herself responsible for the deficiency, should not, to the full limit of her capacity, make it good." In answer to the general wail about the disaster the allies are inflicting on German industry, the Germans are reminded that they overlook this fact: "The economic disaster produced by the war is widespread, and Indeed universal. Every country is called upon to suffer. There is no reason why Germany, which was responsible for the war, should not suffer also." Germany weeps over her war losses and the alleged losses sttffered since from the allied blockade. But "against the war losses of Germany might very fairly be placed the far greater losses which her initiative and conduct of the war have inflicted upon the allied countries, and which have left an ineffaceable mark upon

the manhood of Europe-" German prophecies of economic destruction are discounted because "German territories have suffered less than those of any other continental belligerent state during the war," and "so far as pillage or devastation is concerned have not suffered at all." And then the gist of the whole matter is driven home with this shot:

f STAFF CO-RESPONDENT I N. SERVICE , WASHINGTON. May 26. Excoriation of the league of nations by one Democratic senator, followed by a set speech by another Democratic senator in favor of the U. S. becoming a member of the proposed peace pact was promised in the senate today. Senator Heed, of Missouri, one of the most uncompromising opponents of the American people being committed to the league, announced that he intended to devote himself to discussing the probable outcome of the white raej becoming closely affiliated with the black, brown and yellow race, which he maintained was hardly to be avoided if certain basic provisions of the league covenant were to be carried into effect. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas. a Democrat, like Senator Reed, gave notice that he proposed to reply to the Missouri senator with a carefully prepared address in which he would not onl advance arguments in behalf of various principles of the league plan, but would agairt challenge the Republican senators opposed to the league to

for the derision and contempt of all patriotic men." Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, chairman of the senate foreign rlations committee, and Republican majority leader, as well as some of his closest senatorial advisers. were known to be unalterable opposed to the opposition of the league being transformed into Republican doctrine along strietl yparty lines. Other Republican senators like Penrose of Pennsylvania, Erandegee of Connecticut. Curtis of Iowa. Harding of Ohio and Knox of Pennsylvania, who are as much anti-league as Lodge, were absolutely in accord with the Massachusetts senators on two propositions: First That no definite public policy or action be finally determined upon, or announced, cither with regard to the peace traety itself or the proposed separation from it of the league covenant, until the full official text of the whol? doucement has been submitted to the senate. Second That whatever course was mapped out eentually by the Republican majority in the senate with respect to the entire treaty or that part of it

opposition a party issue. Despite the declaration of Senator Borah, progressive Republican, of Idaho, that the league Is "already a party matter." and "a political party which would fail to take a stand upon a question which involves the honor and independence of our republic would be fit only

made to confine it to nonpartisan lines. Senator Johnson, progressive Republican of California, one of the new members of the senat; foreign relations committee, who are out and our league opponents, planned to rail up again today his resolution providing for the imfe;diate submission of the peace treaty.

WILL TAKE UP REPEAL SOON XEW YORK. May 27 Repeal of the war time prohibition on the manufacture and sale of wine ajid beer will be taken up for consideration by the house agriculture committee at an early date, it was announced this afternoon by Chairman Haugen, of the house agriculture committee. The Gallivan and other bills providing for the repeal as recommended by President Wilson were referred to this committee because the original legislation was carried in a food stimulation appropriation bill reported from the house agriculture committee. Haugen did not indicate the sentiment of this committee with respect to the proposed legislation, but preliminary poV' show that a majority of the members are non-committal.

SHE MAY MARRY PRINCE OF WALES DAME RUMOR SAYS

WHY BUILD T0W? In spite of prevailing high prices there are two reasons for building now, whether it be a home, a church or a business block which is under consideration. The first reason is that every builder is a booster, helping to lift business up to its normal level. The second reason is that the man who builds now cm get high-grade labor and good work. There are many excellent workmen not now employed, who, unhurried by pressure of waiting job, will do better building than can be got at any price later. When building starts again, full swing, the good workmen will be hurried; the poor workman will be an everpresmt evil that must be accepted in order to get work done at all. The result will be just that neglect of details which makes all the difference between permanency and everlasting repairs. It is a question whether even at present prices it is not better economy to have work done now. An increasingly large number of people are answering that question in the affirmative.

WHAT WORRIES THE AVERAGE MAN. According to recent calculation?, there are no k-ss than twenty-three billion ton3 of coal to bo mined, enough to supply the world for 900 years. One of the previous estimates set forth that the United States had a potential supply of coal sufficient to last 5,0u0 years. Whether we are ?ure of being able to keep warm for 000 or .,0'h) years is immaterial. We may consider ourselves rea.-on-ably secure in any case, for even before the shorter period of nine centuries comes to an end we are likely to have invented other satisfactory means of obtaining heat. If there is any cause for uneasiness, it i.s to be found in the conflicting estimates, these tending to convey .the impression that the experts are handing out large fisv.rfs with a generosity suggestive of recklessness. There is, however, much more uneasiness over the
