THE CASE OF UPPER SILESIA. Orrriany3 victory over Poland In Upper Silesia a tho result of the plebiscite, may ko a long -way toward eolvinc the Gornian indemnity problem, quito as it haa been anticipated by her foreign minister. Poland Bhculd bo satisfied v.-ith the referendum. It la carn? out the policy of self-determination uj;on which the Paris treaty agreed in the matter of uch disputed territory. It become the duty of tho League of Nations to nee to it that the vote taken end the decision reached is respected. It Eavc-j Germany lmmence Iron minc and coal fields, which of course, at the same time. It takes uway from Poland. The new Poland will feel disappointed to be sure, but tho vote evidently bespeaks the will of the majority in tho disputed area; aserts that they would rather be under German than under Tolish rule. Vo anticipate that perhaps Poland did not help herself much in her recent affrreslve attitudes, said to have brought on her v.-ar with Kussla, another of which was barely averted with Ukrania- Poland got the worst of It In both exploits, and a3 nothing succeeds like success, eo nothing fails like failure, which may have entered Jnto the reasoning of the Upper Sllcsian citizenship. Tho presence of British and French troopa in Ujper Silesia appears not to have affected the election to Germany's detriment; at least, not sufficiently so aa to make Poland the victor. Had the election gone the other way Germany would no doubt have charged It to such presence. Poland will hardly be able too, unless, as reported from Kattowitz. It is true that troors were obliged to Interfere to prevent the perpetration of election frauda in which the Polish were indulging. It is said that there for a while only Tolish ballots were permitted to bs handed out. Troops had to break up the process. Toland might as well learn It early. She can never znako a auccei of her republic by resort to such Indulgences. It i3 to be hoped that the report 1 fnlf-e. The glory of the thing lies, however, not in tho victory, or in which nation won it, but in the selfdetermination that it registers. It is leaving it to .1 people to choose by majority vote, the sovereignty to which they will bow. Agreement could not oe reached at Paris with reference to Upper Silesia. Both Germany and Poland wanted It. The other lowers were divided, so they put it up to the peop! themselves. It is an Ideal way and ln-o-far as it has been tried to date has worked out tolerably well as take the case of Flume. And why shouldn't It work? Wny should a people be held slaves to a country any more than to an individual even though we must concede dangers In the process.

ROBERT LANSING AND JOHN MAYNARD KEYNES AND THE PEACE Effortd of Ilobert Lansing, former secretary of täte, to re-establish himself with the American people by writing a book, will fail and ought to fall. The American people will understand, in spite cf thmselveü. and in eplte of the hate that many of them havo for ex-Prcs't Vilsen, that it is the wail of a deposed otlicial, self -Justifying, and, perhaps xnoce or less revengeful. It la quite fitting that Mr. LKiuing8 book should come out simultaneously with the self-defensivo brochure being fcfued by "Wilhelm Hohenzollern, the ex-kaiser. A review of the reviews Indicate a considerable dove-tailing of opinion, .entiment, comment, criticism, and statements of alleged fact. But there are other values to Mr. Lansing's book. It more fully justlries ex-Pres't Wilsen in dismissing Mr. Lansing or accepting his resignation without reluctance, than anything that has heretofore come to light. It admits, in substance, the charges that the ex-pre!dent made against tho ex-secretary, though seeking to justify his being open to arjch charges. Po closely allied. Is it, to the teachings and claims of Mr. John Maynard Keynes, in hlJ 'Economic Com'Quences of the Peace," that the charge of a pro-German conspiracy among the peace delegates, in fact, even though perhaps not in intent, teems established r.uito beyond Question. Strange, indeed that Keynes, the Britisher; Landing, the American, and Hoher.zollern, the German, fhould have such neatly allied views of the Versailles peace, all so considerate of the German; that Pres't Wilson should have been no exclusively rosponslble for tho Germans having fared so 'badly. It would recm to indicate, at least, that Pres't Wilvc: waj not as pro-Gorman as some of hie critics; that to his mind there were other things to be considered, well as what was to become cf the adherents to the plotters of Potsdam. Mr. Koyn s did quit the peace conference, ho cays, because the economic aspects of the peace prop''d. were plunderous to the Germans, "What va.s to be s.ivi-d to Germany seemed to be his only concern. Now comes Mr. Lansing: telling how ha came close '"to rt ?!gr.lr.g from the commission because of differences with Pres't Wilson over the Shantung dtci-ii't; and his belief that many of the t rrt.s cf pf are Imposed upon Germany were harsh, humiliating and neeraingly impossible of ptrforma r.cre.'" r.uito Kf yn- t s;ue, and quite kaiseresQue, and, something the lik.- cf which. If we recall correctly, has tfn thundered at Ud a time or two from the floor cf the I'r.itfd Slates senate. Indeed, Keynes and l.ar.!nsr. . nearly resemble rach other in their tr.a!)s of the ;mcc negotiations that they mlfiht a w H hae b-t-n collaborators, but for the fact that K-yr-s precfdcs Ivtr.ing by so many moons'. The -kiMi.tung de;Uion." u.ad thing "harsh and hu-

mlllating to th German; nerer mind what was tD happen to the re-st of the world! Oh yeA it appears too that Mr. Lanalng1 did hot agree with Mr. Wilson on th Leapue of Nations. Quite as the then president atated in his letter "accepting" the L2"iilnr resignation. Lansing, out of harmony with the president perhaps politically, f.rst, and on principle In' cotveQuence, jTOved an emissary in Pari of the antl-Lague and anti-Witaon elements in the United States, and easily enough, putting it lightly as possible, fell Into cooperation along with Keynes and the rest, with the German intrigue. We doubt very much. In the light of developments ulnce then, if Mr. Lansing's worry about things "harsh and humiliating" to Germany, will render him eo very much more popular than the conditions wider which Pres't Wllaon let him go. Robert Lansing, write what he will, can never go down in history otherwise) than among the mistakes cf the Wilson administration, and If there waat errer any doubt about it, his book proves It. Of opposite political faith to that of the president, he was just another one of those appointees of the executive who used their oflAce to bring discredit upon the admin tstratlon. Wilson's mistAke was that of misplaced confidence; that, and the fact that he did not dismiss Mr. Lansing in Paris, and send him home or to Berlin. when he found him operating to hinder the announced American policy. His book should be labeled the "Grumblings of a Grouch"--or the "Confessions of a Political Plnworra."

AN AID TO LOVERS. A device that will make the human heart-beat audible hundreds of miles away was demonstrated the other day at the army signal corps laboratory In Washington. It's a simple contraption, and can be used over t lephone wires for any distance. An electrical stethoscope is placed over the heart. Presto! Out ever the telephone wires go the vibrations from the valves of the heart. These vibrations are repeated by a phonograph at the other end of the line, tho found being magnified thousands of times eo that it's more like tho chugging of a steam engine. By using this device, a phj-sician in New York might make a stethoscopic study of the heart action of a patient in San Francisco. And, too, brought to its highest utility, might not the lover at work in his office convey to his sweetheart In a far-off summer report his undying love? If the pitty-pat of the heart is proof of love and devotion, here's the ideal long-distance method of conveying the message. Still, a lover might make the error of holding the ptethopcopo over his watch. In the interest of harmony, ocienco had better keep out of the lov Held.

CANADA LIBIIH (Tho Montreal Star.) Canada is going to be "freed" again, at least it is if a gentleman named Cohalan of New York has anything to do with it. The "freedom" of this country and the West Indie should, the Cohalan person thinks, be the price exacted by the United States for the cancellation of Britain's war debt to Uncle Sam. Every now and then some one In the United States, of the same mentality as Mr. Cohalan, sets out to "free" this copntry. In the late '60's some of Mr. Cohalan'c predecessors undertook to do it by force of arms. Some of them are here yet. The ret left with great abruptness. Since then tho "freeing" of Canada has been carried on exclusively with the weapon that Samson used against the Philistines, which irr. Cohalan now wields. We have no expectation of enlightening Mr. Cohalan or those who pretend to think with him that this country either requires or desires what he and they call "freedom." Were there any hope of this we would ask them only to read the history of Canada, say from 1812 to 1918. Again and again and again In a littlo over a century Canada showed tho world whero he stood, whether the issue involved was to be tested with arms or with the ballot. There was a great chance in 1914, for instance. By sitting tight, salng her live and treasure, Canada might not have secured her "feedom,", from Britain, but she would have been doing her bit toward gaining that inestimable boon (in the Cohalan eyes). Wo ere not accustomed to asserting that Canada won the war, but if this country had not done & little something we might today be appreciably farther from Westminster and nearer to Potidam and the whole North American continent with us, for that matter. If there were any desire whatever on the part of the Cohalans to find 'out for themselvoe the truth of these momentous matters about which they talk glibly they have only to come to Canada and spend a few months among us. They would, the Star I ture, be tolerantly and even courteously received. If they asked Questions they would be fully and cheerfully answered. They would get a lot of Information that would be useful and convincing If they were cpen to conviction, which, of course, they are not. But they won't come. They will stay In various United States cities and indulge in silly talk, like that other sapient soul who suggests In the New York Tribune that Britain should trade Canada against her American war debt. Working it out on an area basis, this means about 2 an acre for Canada, not counting the population. The Tribune's correspondent calls this a "fair deal which would not be unacceptable to Canadians." Canadians will, we are sure, not be angry with these good people. -o KNGLISll LABOR PATLTY IOSCR. (Tho Nov York Times.) If the by-electlon In Cardiganshire was a marked victor:' for Lloyd George, that in Woolwich Is a heavy defeat for the labor party. It had put up one of its aMest men in a distinctly working-class constituency. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald was a candidate to succeed Mr. Will Crooka, who had been returned for the labor party from Woolwich unopposed In 1918. But Mr. Macdonald was beaten by an exeoldier, Capt. Gee, who made it his chief election appeal that this is no time to trike a blow at tho government which is endeavoring to make Germany pay a Just war reparation. The loss of Woolwich is only one of many signs that the power of the labor party in England Is waning. As Mr. J. II. Thomas haa bitterly comjlalned. it cannot longer command the loyalty of Ii own members. The result is to make an end of the confident predtrtlons of two years ago that a labor government would soon be in power in England. Mr. Henderpon was to be prime minister; Mr. Macdonald. chancellor of the exchequer; Mr. Snowden. foreign secretary, and so on. But if even Woolwich will not stand by Mr. Macdonald it Is hard to see how he run get into parliament at all, or what good It would do him if he could.

Ignorant Essays BY J. P. McEVOY

TYPICAL CONVERSATIONS, On Style, I see that somebody says short dresses are on their last legs. It's about time. Well, it was great while it lasted. I'll say it was. We ought to be thankful to the dear girls at that. Well, I didn't kick none. Mo neither. Short eklrts were sensible, anyway, I'll say. It kept them out in The open air. didn't It? I'll say it did. It sure did. Which is moro than you can say for their ears. Ain't it the truth! I've forgotten how girl-ears look. Me too. Maybe they haven't got 'em anymore. Just say "Will you marry me" to one of them once and you'll find out they havo ears all right. I guess they've got 'em all right. All right is right. I'll say, but why do they keep 'em covered up? Thev got to keep something hid, don't they? That's right, I guess.

They haven't got many surprises left now except their ears. Ain't it the truth! They got to be in style or they'd die. ' That's right. Well, girls will bo girls, ain't It so? I'll say it is. Right or wrong, they got to bo In style. In style is right. Ono year their dre-sses aro down to their ankles, and the next they haven't got much more than a little wish trimmed with a little bit of hope, held up with a bit of confidence. You said an earful.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

SOLD. I seldom commit any overt act. My temper Is woll controlled. But with Inward fury my soul is racked When eome fellow remarks, 'Tm sold!" He doesn't mean that he's sold at all. Or anything else, again; It's a hollow phrase, but you'll hear it fall From tho llpa of a'million men. They're "sold" on tho author they like to read. They're "sold" on their favorite soap, They're "sold" on the Athanaslan creed, They'ro "sold" on their Heavenly hope; And I knew a man (till I shot him dead A punishment all too mild To fit the crime) who recently said He was "sold" on his wife and child. They're sold on the plays that they Ilko to see. They're "sold" on their (Jogs or cats. There's a lot of 'em "sold" on the G. O. P., And" a few on the democrats. And one or two, like Wilson was, Aro "sold" on the human race. While others are sure they're safe because They aro "sold" on a means of grace. I'm not a person who likes to rant On the faults of my brother men. Cut I'd fain escape from this frightful cant, If it only were now and then. And as long as I'm tarrying here below. ThoMsh It irks me to fume and SCOld, I will tell the world (If it cares to know) That I'll still be unsold on "sold." (Copyright, 1921.)

SPUING FEVER. "When the blue gets back in the skies onco more And the vines grow green round the kitchen doorf When the roses bud and the robins come, I stretch myself and I say: "Ho-hum! I ought to work but I guess I won't, Though some want riches today, I don't; This looks to me like the rort of day That was made to Idle and dream away." When the sun is high and the air Just right. With the trees all blossomy, pink and white. And the grass as soft as a feather bed With the white clouds drifting Just overhead. I stretch and yawn like a school boy then, And turn away from the walks of men And tell myself in a shame-faced way, "I'm going to play hookey from work today!" "Here is a morning too rare to mi3.

And what Is gold to a day like this- j

And what Is fame to the things I'll I see j Through the lattice-work of a fine I old tree? j
