PEACE TERMS

(Continued from Page One) - . - as all compromises must be, as a sacri

fice of essential principles of all three

conflicting elements. Mr. Wilson's American ideal of peace, without bitterness for the future, has been modified almost out of existence by the" economic burdens placed upon Germany, burdens which ought of right to be placed upon her, but as they mean long standing economic servitude of the country will unquestionably promote as great bitterness as did the annexation of territory in other wars. The theory that Germany would

recognize her sins and accept her loss i In a spirit of meekness will not stand the light of day. It is after all. In a sense, ridiculous to imagine that however just the sentence passed upon Germany, it will seem just to the Gei mans, Bince it reduces them to a second rate industrial country for an in- " definite period of time. It i3 unnecessary to linger over other compromises. To the imperative demand of the British colonies, Mr. Wilson has yielded, and accepted the mandatory system which, in fact, means a transfer of German colonies In the main to the British Empire. Such conditions as are put upon this transfer are illusory. The truth is that Britain, France and Japan will hold the German colonies as they hold their own and as far as Germany is concerned and this is the capital poln she loses them completely and without hope of restoration. . The same is true of compromises of the Saar and Dantzig. Germany loses both territories, the first for a period of time with the possibility that the loss will be permanent, the second permanently, but in each case acquisition by one of Germany's enemies is in deference to Mr. Wilson's contention. He hedged about so as to preserve the Issue and the cause of the difficulty indefinitely. Stolen Land Returned. So far the territory to be taken from Germany Is without exception territory acquired at the expense of neighbors of Germany and held against the will of the peoples. Alsace-Lor

raine, Schleswig and the Polish fron

tier land represent the spoliation of previous Prussian aggressive wars. 7he Saar valley became an economic

gauge as a result of. German devastation In Northern France. - But who Is to guarantee the permanence of ail these changes? The American answer has" , been the League ot Nations, but tbe League pf Nations has no power In itself. It has no armies, it has no fleets. In theory.

it was to become complete within a relatively early time by the entrance of Germany, but in fact this would

mean Germany's voluntary agreement to submit to terms which every Ger

man will regard as a sentence - of

death. I do not think any thoughtful

men can Imagine that Germany will

accept the economic conditions of the

treaty of Versailles with any greater willingness than the French accepted the provisions of the Treaty of Frankfort, or with any less considerable reservation. ! We have; then, so far as Germany is concerned, made a kind of treaty of peace which can only be imposed by force, for which execution can only be assured by continuing application of force, and it is purile to imagine that Germany will abide by the terms of the treaty of peace one day after the force behind them is dissipated. Need 8tronger Guarantee The league of nations Covenant may prove In time a sufficient basis of interventional relations between nations allied against Germany in this war, and " neutral nations. Between these there is no outstanding difference, old or new, which might lead to war inevitably,- although the Flume question has supplied unmlstakeable warning. But when it comes to Germany, the fact is absolutely clear that tor a period of time necessary for tho fulfillment ot the terms of the treaty of peace, the league of nations and, more exactly, the United States, Great Britain and France, must be guarantors. In reality, -we have only in part made peace with Germany by this document, if it shall be accepted by

Germany. j The proof of this lies in that supplementary agreement between ths three great powers which is to be submitted to parliament and to congress. " We have made France in this treaty of peace executor of the will of the league of nations. The French army of occupation along the Rhine with the British fleet in the North Sea will be the sole forces which we shall have to compel Germany to continue, year after year, to pay billions of dollars and turn over new ships to complete the work of restoration. A nation of forty millions cannot indefinitely exercise restraint upon a nation ot Fixty millions. We have, therefore, to give to France as our representative to ensure the execution of this treaty a guarantee which amounts to a pledgo that if as our policeman she is attacked we shall come to her aid witiiout question. .. This, then," is the only settlement and the League of Nations is not more than a basis cf association between victors and neutrals in the recent war. The theory that the League of Nations would be an association of all the powers, enemy and neutral ' alike, at the close of this great struggle necessarily vanishes with the reading of the terms of peace. I do not think that anyone in any allied country will regard the terms as too drastic, but I do believe: that it is essential for everyone to recognize that they have a character, both for the immediate present" and for a long future, which wit place Germany 4n guch a condition that her loyal adherence to the League of Nations, carrying with it her voluntary consent to go" on almost indefinitely paying just, but tremendous, sums is impossible. In a very real

sense, then, we shall continue in a state of war with Germany for a long time, until she has paid the price fixed. . As she recovers her strength, the burden will seem more and more intolerable, and she will more and

more seek a means, forcible or covert,

to evade payment. League Made' Arbiter. It is in this sense, then, that I warn my American readers that the League of Nations, like the Treaty of Peace, does not in fact provide a settlement of any immediate character. We have turned over to the Leauge of Nations administration of an incalculable number of contested teritories, we have

made it the arbiter, the ruler, of many points where conflcting interests meet, and in each one of these the League of Nations wil find itself at once confronted by hostile Germany. Whether in the Saar Valley or in Dantzig, the League of Nations authority can only prevail when it is back by force. To supose that the Germans will willingly accept either of those settlements, because both of them are compromises reducing the claims of the enemies of Germany, is to suppose the impossible. Danzig for the Germans in the hands of the League of Nations will be no less Strassbourg than it would be in the actual possesion of Poland. Polish possession of that diminishing coridor which extends to the Baltic will be as permanent a source of irri

tation and anger to the Germans as German possession of Alsace was to the French. In one case, possission was against the will of the people. In the other, it is not, but for the Germans there can be no difference, since the Polish corridor cuts Prusia in half and destroys the consolidating work of Frederick the Great. The Treaty of Peace, then and this is the capital point is toot a settlement. The only' things that are settled actually are the transfer of the German colonies and Alsace-Lorraine on the territorial side. All else, economic, political, and territorial, is conditioned upon the operation of commissions of the League of Nations, and upon the continuing solidarity of Great Britain, France and the United States. . Without this guarantee, each of the questions will be reopened within a brief period of time, since to reopen them v ill be to serve thtvlnterests of more than sixty millions of

people. The idea that this is a peace lounded on justice is correct, but the idea that this justice, which spells approximate ruin to a great power, will be accepted by it willingly now or

in the future Is totally false.

There was only one way to make a peace of good will, and that was to refrain from imposing upon Germany any of the just costs of the war. If we had left Germany intact and solvent, she might have accepted a military decision. She might have 'consented to be a partner in the League of Nations, but to do this would be to commit a crime against each of the nations which were forced to take up arms to defend their existence against German aggression. We have put the murderer under the restraint of authority. We have compelled the murderer by a sentence of our court to make such restoration as is possible for his crimes ol murder and destruction, but it would be futile and dangerous to believe that the sentence

which has been imposed will be accepted beyond the limits of our power. In sum, it seems to me that it ought to be realized in America that those peace terms which have now been spread before the whole world, provide at best only the basis of settlement, not settlement itself, and the League of Nations which we have called into existence and commissioned to handle a score of continuing differences is only the basis of peace

between the nations which do not differ from 1U decisions. If the United States does not associate Itself with, France and Great Britain in a guarantee to support France as the administrator of this treaty of peace, the whole treaty will iall of its own weight at no distant date. But if we do associate ourselves and our allies for the future the ' alliance of these three nations becomes a real force in the League of Nations. The League of Nations is nothing except as it is guaranteed by the alliance between the three great Western nations, and the settlement which is the Treaty of Versailles, wil Inot endure beyond that time. It is true that we have taken the German fleet and ordered the disarmament of Germany. Since we have the fleet that issue is settled, but how. can we enforce German disarmament except by Allied armament? We have fixed the number tf the German army for the future, but Napoleon, at the height of his power, could not enforce a similar regulation, and we shall have to rely upon the French" army on the Rhine to perform this task HOW. ;...'-'': In the nature of things, given the character of this war,, no immediate settlement la possible. I do not mean to suggest that the wisest diplomacy in the world, the most far-sighted statesmanship, could have achieved immediate liquidation of this war. The tery vastness of .German destruction ensured the prolongation over many

years of the task of reparation. What the treaty of Versailles actually means is, then, plain. Begins Liquidation So far as Germany is concerned, it is well to remember that peace with Germany is only the beginning of the liquidation of this war. Great Britain, the United States and France, tho great nations most concerned in tho war with Germany, have formulated a basis of settlement. They have directed Germany to restore her stolen territories, to pay for her destructions, and to surrender her weapons of defense. They have, in addition, subscribed to a formal declaration of principles which will largely reduce

the infintesimal chance of war between themselves and may, and probably will, become the basis for international adjustments "between the rations allied against Germany and the neutral nations. But. so far as Germany is concerned, they have, subject to the consent of their respective legislative bodies, framed a new alliance to preserve the future peace of the world and to enforce the present terms of peace for a period of some thirty years. The best guarantee of the future peace of the world is, unmistakably, association between the United States. Great Britain and France. No part of President x Wilson's performance in Europe shows a - more clear-sighted realization of European facts than his consent to lay . this, question before the American congress. -If congress hall accept it, the real league of nations which has been created at Par.3 will become a fact, and not a parchment proposal. We may now retire

out of Europe, abandoning our dea-1 J x i 1. 1 i j. , J : i '

Tuberculosis Often Follows Chronic!

Catarrh of Nose, Throat , ' and Lungs.

Chronic catarrh of the nose, throat, and lungs, ha3 been largely responsible for the terrible Influenza epidemic of the past six months. It is often the primary cause of many fatal diseases like tuberculosis, pneumonia, asthma and others. It is not only an extremely annoying, disagreeable condition, but is positively dangerous, undermining the strength of the whole system and certainly making anyone

much more liable to dangerous infec-, lion Of all kinds. . . , j .Therefore- it is extremely important i that anyone suffering from catarrhal! conditions of the nose, throat and lungs, immediately take steps to have it cured. As nearly all catarrh -sufferers . know from experience and to their sorrow, it cannot be cured by patent medicines, mail order treatments, home remedies and the like, yet catarrh is curable. It is a stubborn disease and it requires the : skill of an expert and experienced specialist to . properly rid the system of catarrh in a short time. The Indiana Catarrh Institute, permanently located in Indianapolis at 1436 N. Illinois St., have representing them a well known nose, throat and lung specialist who has devoted sixteen years to the special study of this disease. In the past two years this talented specialist has been in the Federal Service and has examined and advised on the nose, throat and lung conditions of approximately ten thousand of our soldiers in the military service. - It would be difficult, to find anyone better qualified by study and vast experience to consult, with regarding your condition. , His examination, consultation and

advice is free. He invites everyone who is afflicted with chronic catarrh' of the nose throat or lungs, chronic j

cough and bronchitis, dropping mucous in the throat, pains in-the chest, shortness of breath, clogged up ,head and nostrils, head noises, catarrhal deafness, hawking and spitting, or any chronic catarrh condition, to be examined and get his share without charge or obligation. He will be glad to talk with you, giving you the benefit of his experience and skill freely. Beware " of tuberculosis and other fatal conditions by taking treatment in time. - ' The Specialist will be at the Arlington Hotel, one day only, Thursday, May 22nd, from 9:00 a. m. to .8 p. m., and will examine all who call to see him. Communication can be had by mail by addressing the Indiana Catarrh Institute, 1436 N. Illinois Street, Indianapolis. Ind.--Adv. "

The experienced engineers of the heat, power and light plants of this section will tell you that the ideal coal for their furnaces is that which gives a quick, hot, lasting fire, leaves little soot and ashes and no clinkers. Many of them have for years used Fourth Vein, because of its high heat efficiency. Not only does it ignite quickly and give a long, clean flame, but with its high content of fixed carbon it burns up slowly and gives a hot fire for a long time.

Rubber tire workers in Fort Madison, Iowa, have formed an organization which promises to increase their wages and improve working conditions.
