THE VERSAILLES TREATY AND SHIPS. Uott v;cü the United States government will ucc( in its determination to hoM th German ships teized In our harbors after the declaration of war. or previously Infrat-d under the neutrality Uw, rmir.s to be en. Som International lawyers maintain, and the question fm to bfc puzzling thi house of representative. thit pi.---.igr. of the Knox r.afs resolution repealing tho declaration of war. and thus v.rpur&ir. our part in the conflict, will entitle Germany to. those fhips if not damag's for their retention, and for whatt-ver his bcn don5 to them, including their u?. Th '.tuition is more or lf complicated. After th p'izure. and th declaration of war. congress authorized the- pr(.idn: to take title to these ships, which he did; mind o-j. by authority of congress tut to th extent that they were the private property of Germany, which mo.-t of th. m were, this raie a question as r th'- validity of such title. Othfr property of German citizen, taken, by th povcrnment durin? the war, v.a confiscated by the alien property custodi.in and is gradually being re-cove-red on the theory that it wa taken to prevent its u?e in Germany's behalf, and now that the war Ls ail but technically over, the neec.ity ceases to exist. Appreciating the situation Trcs't Wilson had read Into tho Versailles treaty something to protect ua. Furthermore it 1 the- only protection that wo have, vaxrue indeed, sir.ce we have not ratified the treaty and are no party to it. oirm international lawyers arirue ih.it fl.--rm.iny having accepted it k c?topped from rai.in the question, but thi i.s by no means the universal opinion of such lawyers. Germany ratified he treaty only as to those powers who alsa ratified it. which kaves us just outside the fold. The treaty -.ys: "Germany v,ai-.s ail claims of any description auair.'-t alh. 1 and a.-ociated governments and their nati.ip.als ja rf.-pect of the detention, eir.ploy in r.;, loss or damage of any Orman sbiin or iont. t xv. option leing made of payment duo in re?pcit of the employment of !ii- in i oiiformity w;ih the armistice asrre. i;-,r i,t of J.ui. .', i:r.', and subsequent a cre-nK üt.-. Th.. handing t r of tlie ships of German nurvantia marine muft be continued without interruption in accordance with the al I -a grer nient." Th treaty contains this additional I rovision: "No claim or action .hall be made or brought agint any aüi.-l or associated power or again.'t any jeton at ting on behalf of or tinder the direction "f any legal authority or department of tl govrnmnt of such a power by Germany or by any German national wherever resident, in rpect of any act or omission with regard to Iris property rights or interests during the war or in preparation for the war. Similarly no claim or action shall be made or brought against any ju-rson in reject of any act or omLssln under or in accordance with the exceptional war measures, laws or regulations of any allied or associated power." Ar.d thus r.l'-e complicated questions continue to ar: as the re.--ult of the enate"fl determination r.'it to ratify th.- trcat; p'a:ng politic with a mat-tf-r of so much importance and the American people's slip-shod way of voting on things too frequently, without cons., i;-ring the consequences. True, a urine th campaign, wp were to id by one element of th-- victorious party, that if .ucce5f ul the treaty would be ratified, while by another element wwere assured that it never would be, and the people chO' smz that ron diet in brand of assurance are getting what they ar getting. Ivickily, however, th? !nTpr house of congress has awakened to. the situation, and thrusrh it may vote a "state of war at an er.d." "ill refuse to repeal the war declaration, snd r-ad our entrance into the war out of existence. ITvldertly there ar fom? cor.gT tarnen, who believe, our rart in h great contlict was too great to be expurged in that way; that a "state, of war" iVd p:?t at the time of th" declaration and whi it may hivo fince ceased to exist, w ought to preen our rights a.s belligerents, and what we did while be'.'.igrr nts. unt!'. a proper settlement of thh peice. by treaty, is made. o - THE "MONKEY" FOLK.

without waitin until they are dead or abcut o leave town. This man ha dene much to enlsrgs South Bend's place on the, map. Though, of eours he ha been erving tho Studebaker corporation, he has also eerved South Bend. lie could not eerv the former without serving the latter. Every industry brought here, and every enlargement of an industry, bringdr-g to the city mor workern at pood wages, injects new blood Into the community, enlarges the perspective, and gives new life. The. Studebaker corporation is not nw to tha city but its facilities have, been greatly enlarged and everybody becomes the beneficiary, through the, channels of business, of the things they produce. It 1 well that people learn to think in mich vein, recognize their mterdependance, upon each other, and begin to feel the, activity cf each other'a pul. And why should a man need die, or leave town O have his praises sung? That is a thing of which ths world has Ion? complained. It Is the one uniqua thlnar about the Drakine, ddnner. The city may well b thankful, and admit It now. when we recall that, mainly through the operation of the, Studebaker plant, South Bend has not felt the depression that has hit mcst other parts of the country. are, to be congratulated that Studebaker products aro In such demand, that the mill havo not needed ceaae to grind. Business Is not the, goul of a community, but that it i the life-blood of it. is equally beyond question. The body, tabernacle rf the soul, must crumble, unless the mean of llvel&ood hail from somewhere. The business man, who recognizes hl proper sphere is accordingly quite as much a benefactor, even of the soul, aa the clergyman or tho educator. The Erskine reform. in?tituted at the Studebaker plant, indicates some such recognition on his part. The labor problem is perhaps le? a problem with the Studebaker corporation than with most similar institutions on exactly that account. Mr. Charles M. Schwab, Bethlehem steel magnate. Ftruck the nail squarely when he said in the course of hi address, that the relations between employer and employe have changed; wealth w a stewardship rather than a pcvpse.vlon; the sreat task of such men as Mr. Brsklne is the maintenance and promotion of organization, in which capital and labor is mutually employed, the basis to be one of justice nearly human Ingenuity can conceive it. ills monument then, Ls not alone In the great factory that he hae built, hut the army of men to whom It affords a livelihood, supplying their temporal needs And that .riidt maintained is the beat sort, and frequently the most profitable sort, of business, because it is economic Justice and the only kind that can permanently win. It was refreshing; to havt that feature of Mr. Erskine's career here brough. to the fore, and gave more clearly than anything elf could, the ood reason for the recognition given him. The community certainly did itself proud. Business needs more Ersklnes.

TOBACCO, COSMETICS AND LEARNING. There is a bit of comment in which the writer ought to be able to indulge with frankness, because of the reflection upon himself, much as anyone else; a thinj? that happens oftener than many up-po&?. The reference is to the American habit of boatins of the large expenditures being made for public education. From the point of view of relativity the boasting doesn't square with the facts. We spend something less than $1.000.000,000 a year on public education. In 1920 our tobacco bill was more than double this and for face powder, cosmetics, perfumes, etc., wo fpent three-quarters of a billion. For everj dollar we spend on public education, we spend 23 cents for ice cream, 50 cents for jewelry, 35 cents for soft drinks and 30 cents for furs. The ScO.000,000 a year wo spend for chewing gum is two and a half times the total expenditures for normal schools and almost exactly the same as all ftate and city appropriatior.3 for higher education. The U. S. commissioner of education points out that if we would smoke two cigarets instead of three, two cigars instead of three, take two chews instead of three, and add the money thus Raved to the teachers' payroll, the salaries of teachers could be increased 120 percent. As it is 1 retty generally admitted that our teachers as a clasv are criminally underpaid, these e,g. ures are. to s'iy the least, rather humiliating. "We think we beliee in education. No doubt, we do believe in education in a way. but we have not paid and do not p;iy much for it." The writer wants It understood in this connection, however, that in hi reference to himself, he Is selfcritical only of hi use of tobacco, and disclaims "cosmetics, perfumes, etc.," that is. all except the tobacco "fume-p." He and Dr. C. A. Llppincott, and Dr. James A. Burns, president of Notre. Dame, ani a number of others in whose clam "he" don't belong, come under the wire aa smokers, and as for him or "himself," ho acts as though he thought the noking waj worth it. o Astronomer claims the universe Ls 1,000 times larger than originally believed. Ho-hum! Which clubs going to win the pennant? o

PENROSE AND THE OFFICES. (Indianapolis News.) It Is now announced that Sen. Penrose of Pennsylvania is to make war on the administrations policy of retaining democrats In orfice tiil their terms expire. His idea is that the federal oluces "belong" to the party in power, not to individual, and not. we suppose, to the people as a whole. Nor ifl it a question with Penroee simply of displacing democrats, for he would also discharge all republicans who hold conunisäions from the Wilson administration. What ts demanded is a clean sweep. Nothing more reactionary than this ha been proposed not even the return to the Payne-Aldrieh theory of tariff taxation. We are carried back in thought to the days of the Immortal Flannagan. who. when it was suggeerted at a national convention that offices should not be the chief concern cf a party, aid to the chairman: "What nre wa here for?" But that was a long time ago. and it had been supposed that the Flannagan theory was extinct. Probably It is. It i not likely that the president and the members of his cabinet, busy as they are with the most important and dittcult problems, will ws. their time and enerjry. and demoralize the service ju?t at the time when efficiency is so greatly needed, in carrying out a clean sweep In order to placate Penrose. The. policy urged by the Pennsylvania senator would, under present conditions, be little short of ruinous. The demand made by him is curioua rather than Important. It is curious In the sense that a propocul to revive slavery would be. War on the administration on th sue of an immediate clean sweep docs net offer a very hopeful prosrect. In fpite of the opposition of spoilsmen the country has each year approached more closely toward a rational system of appointments, and it is still procreating. Th admini?tratien has chcn the right course, ar.d there should be no departure, or swerving from it.

OLD DAD nCTtNTT STZ Ford has reduced his prices agin. If Woolworth'9 hain't handling them next. I'll misa my guess. Met a man yesterday that if so fat that he has to always take his wife along to conventions to help' him off with his shces. And the fellow isn't Cupie Collins or Dud Shively either. .

WANTED A IL.VND ORGAN. The entertainment committee of the Kiwanls club, Fred Loughman. the widely known hauler, requests us to announce that he is very desirous of renting a hand organ for one week, the latter part of June. Mr. IvDuphman wishes to take the hand organ to the international Kiwania convention at Cleveland. O.. and will pay well, he tells us. for this privilege. Now if any rf the cu.vtomer.s, po.ssees such a musical instrument, they can take the last week in June off and enjoy a vacation with the rental money he receives from Mr. Loughman. Now. Mr. Hand Organ Owner, speak up. We want to hear from you at once.

BRIEF NEWS OF THE CITY. Lloyd Greenan, the insurance magnate, writes in whining that this column recently stated that his birthplar was Goshen. Ind., instead of Bristol. We can only say to Mr. Greenan that if we was from Bristol we wouldn't he running no page ads bragging; about it. Ex Lieut. Earl Reeder is about

agnin after suffering with an attack of quincy. Bill Bender and his little glasses was to the Erskine dinner. Bill took off his miniature spec and thought he saw six Charley Schwabs in a row. Milt Frudensteln will return today from an extended visit at Culver. Ind. Gues Milt has been attending summer school down there. Jimmy Patton's siter at Peru. Ind.. read The Tower of Babel. Gee, the Teru papers must be rotten! Huch Barnhart inform. u that he is going to write us up in tho Er ehester Sentinel. We have just this to say to Mr. Barnhart. that we have been written up in bigger r.apcrs than the Sentinel. George. O'Brien had one complaint to make about the Erskine dinner. He mistook a potato cake for a biscuit and kicked about the biscuit being soggy. Hy. Lemontree is a very good optician.

5 THE 6TOHE FOH 15J2X AND I DOTS

J. P. McEvoy I Zn

THE JIAUGIITY MiEA'ATOIt MAN. My mother has a quaint old country simile for independence "He is as independent" says she. "as a heg on ice." I have never seen hog on ice, except in butcher shop?. and then they were in a rather dismantled condition. If they were independent there, it was only because they got that way from associating with the butcher. But I suppose there must be some basis for the tradition which gave rise to the Impression that "Independent as a hog on ice" was the flower and o.uintefenee of independence. I am sure, however, that if we were to re-w-ite this simile to bring it up to date, we would change it to read, "As dignified as an elevator man." Perhaps dignity isn't the word it is more like haughtiness. Ie there anything haughtier than an elevator man? If there is, it is two elevator men. You have experienced it yourself. You are on the elevator and you call out your floor. He pays no attention to you. He ignores you. He takes you by your floor. You pay to him in a weak piping voice. "I wanted to get off at five." He withers you with a scornful glance as much as to say "What of it. who cares." "Yes" you reply in a trembling voice. "I wanted to get off at five. I .said five, I he?e." "Well, why didn't you ?ay it so somebody could hear it. What do you think I am. a mind reader? If you wanted to get off at five, why didn't you say so." Bang goes the elevator gate on the Sth floor. You are t ill going up." Would you mind letting me off at the 12th" you say. I will take the elevator down to the :,th." He gives you a d'irty look and shoots on by the 12th floor. "I wanted to get off at the 12th floor." you say. "12th. Why don't you make up your mind? You Aaid the 5th a little while ago. Don't you know where you want to get off." "I know I said the 5th. but afterwards I said the 12th. Now I would like to get off at th' 6th." By that time he is Just past the 13th and goinp rapidly. "Oh. if a the 16th now" ho faya. aa he shoots pat the 18th. "What are you try

ing to do. kid me? First you wanted the Sth. then you wanted the 12th. then you wanted the 1 th. What do you want, do you know?" By this time you are reduced to silence. Thr elevator has reached the top floor and he standing around waiting for you to get off. "Well, this is as far as we go. You can't sleep here." "I want to go down" you say. "Now you want to go down" he says. "Of all the darn fools. What are you doing, riding up and down for your health? Why don't you ride- in the open air, it will do you more good. Get off here, this i as far a? we go." "Please let me go down with you," you implore. "Oh, very well" he says, slamming tho door, ar.d dropping the elevator cut from under your feet. When you catch your breath, you see a glimpse- of the 10th floor shooting past. "I want to get off at the 5th." "Jumping Je-hos-ophat" he hollers, "don't you know we don't step at the 5th floor goiu down. What's the matter with you anyway, can't you read the signs?" Tho car stops suddenly. You discover you are at the main floor. "Wv'll now what" he fays. By this time you are limp and practically boneless. "Listen." you s&y earnestly "I would like to get off at the 5th five. one, two. three, four, five." You hold up your hand ar.d count off the fingers for him. "Five, like fingers." He stops the elevator and opens the gate and lets you out. "Oh, lie says, "now you want to go up again. For the love of Mike! you see what time it is?" he saya. "Eleven o'clock. Don't you know we don't stop at the' 5th floor going up after 11 o'clock. Of all the boots !" Well, you finally learn the way to get to the .th floor is to walk up the stairs. You might havo done that in the first place and saved time. "Independent as a hog on ice," eh? I would like to see an e'.evator man on ice. I don't know what John Hancock did for a living, but Judging from the sassy signature he puts on the Declaration of Independence, he must have been an elevator man. (Copyright, 191.) '

HEART'S DESIRE. What is it that the heart desires beyond the peace of happy fires, The kettle's merry song? And what can gold and silver buy or all the pomp of fate supply Which man need mourn for long?

What is there in life's luxuries, and all the drowsy ways of cas ij That man should sigh to mis? 'I

i ua. uuuir- lie At 'i)s is g.aa with lauchter. why need he be sad, Or seek a greater bliss? And yet men sigh from day to dav.

and frown where merry child- ' ren play. And tell their tales cf wee. ; Because they ha e not come to fam and have no lands or gold to '

claim Oh, why should this be so? With lrealth and lauethtep where hr dwells, no man should sigh for thing ele. Who sits If h3ppy fires. And hears th-- kcttie's merry norg to his the jf.ys of life belong. He has his heart's desires. (Copyright. 1?1.)
