WHAT THE WORLD ESCAPED.
What tile world escaped by its con
quest of (lorinan military clepositsm it
finds new reasons daily to be thank
fnl for
The league of nations will not bring
mankind surcease of injustice, for no
political device can wholly transform
the soul of man. No polltcal arrange
ment can stamp out disease, crime or
vice, though laws may help the weak
and shackle the criminal and vicious.
Hut tin very fact that the worlds
statesmen are now engaged in formu
lating a concert of powers instead of
meeting to prepare the world lor
triumphant militarism should inspire
us with thankfulness tor some of the
things we have escaped.
That is a fantastic. and yet we
make no doubt a perfectly veracious
story, which come to ns out of res
i m d Belgium concerning the after
math <u (let loan military domina
t ion
Tin good women ot Belgium, who
.offered and sacrificed and endured
immeasurable wrong during lout
years of their country's servitude, are
catching and shaving the heads of
those loose women who rvere the riot
ous companions of the Hun officers
throughout Belgium and northern
Pram * and even in the electric-light
vil an : • cam-heated dug-outs near the
firing- lines. With shaven pates these
dazed devotees of a system that is
gone of lewd altars overthrown, are
si.nking toward the border In the
w; ki o: those proud and arrogant
militarists who attitudinized before
tneir while slaves as conquerors of
the world. That world, under their
rule, was to lie a saturnalia el gilded
vice \s in Babylon and Nineveh and
imperial Rome militarism was to en
tk.-oti, a licentious caste demanding
all tin -pa ial p-ivileges oi sensual
ism while the millions (hedged and
Hla.ve*! air their kaiser and for them.
And we can imagine the devout
kaiser, rearing Iwiu all -i to Wotan
and Christ, piously preaching Sunday
morning sermons as of obi to thank
l-.is "Colt" thal the world hail been
purified by Herman Kultm The staid
empri - s. quite as devout anil even
non trict. would have predded over
a social realm which would have dis
graced Cleopatra or \agripinu the
Younger. It would haw been a world
of hyp. risy which would have made
os laugh until we wept and weep until
we laughed again.

would have reverted to the customs |
of Nero and Tiberius. Kurope would
Pave led the procession, l>ut our own
land, producing thousands of sybnr
ites reeking with wealth, would have'
fallen In line.
Another feature of (ierman domina
tion in Belgium shows to what slav
ish depths the world would have
sunk. Seeking to control the land by
dividing it against itself, the linns
fostered a faction of Belgian traitors
who came to be known as “Atklvlts."
All who were willing to “crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift might follow fawning." were set
aside by tho invaders for substantial
rewards. The more the ‘ Atkivlsts
fawned, flatterod and truckled the
more they received of largesso. The

more they betrayed their heroically
enduring fellow countrymen the more
they were preferred before them.
Cowardly parasites, such as military
imperialism always produces, were
overrunning the land and were living
in comparative luxury while the pat
riots were ground own under the
spurred heels of the invaders.
With Germany victorious, that sort
u! unutterable servility would have
spread around the globe. In our own
country, if we had finally fallen under
even the limited dominion of German
militarism, pro-Germanism would
have meant for the rest of us humilia
tion beyond the foulest drer.ms ot
at . semont.
Hut a kindly Providence saw to it
that tin- power which would have
dinned tie world was compelled to
I perform the most humiliating act in
| tie annals of militarism--to rail its
navy into a Hritisli port and surren
i der without even attempting to light.

AN EDITORIAL CRITIC.
( riticlng the speeches of Senators
Lodge and Knox against the league of
peace question being involved in the
! immediate peace conference, Mr. Nor
man llapgood. the well-known editor,
says:
"Lodge. Heed and Knox are saying,
W,> ami our principal associates, rep
resented by a score of individuals iti
Versailles, ought to grab whatever we
can comfortably gel away with and
lix up rules afterward.' President
Wilson is saying. 'The I'nited States
and her associates have a responsi
bility before Hod and man that is too
great for selfishness and too great for
hale or pride." That responsibility
<an only be met by the same method
with which we have learned to settle
i onlli ts between man and man."
Our editorial friend is very wide of
mark, or even ihe truth, when he says
ll,al Senators Lodge and Knox are In
lay or of haying us "grab whatever wo
tr.n comfortably get away with and
tix up the rules afterward ' These
gentlemen, on the contrary, say that
the peace conference is for the pur
pos of making peace with (lerniany
and Austria, not for the purpose of re
forming and being responsible for the
entire world.
Conflicts between nations are very
dlffereiii tiling., from conflicts between
man and man. The same machinery
employed in local, state and internal
national affairs, where conditions are
homogenous and the same language
, i., spoken, will not work among differ
enl nations with varied stages of de
velopment and speaking different lan
guages.
Theory is one thing; practice is
quite another thing.

THE GERMAN WAR SHIPS
Mr. David Lawrence, Washington
corespondent of (lie New York Kven
ing Post, who is now in Paris with
the American peace commission,
cables the Post:
"My own prediction is that the Am
erican mission will be inclined to
view with disfavor the distributioni
of the German licet in such a fashion
as to increase the gap between Am
erica and Great Britain in naval
strength, and that as a compromise
solution it may be proposed to dis
mantle—not sink -the German licet
entirely."
On the assumption that Mr. Lawr
ence is a more or less inspired <or
respondent, this statement has some
significance. It shows that the dis
position of the surrendered German I
war fleet is troubling the Americanj
peace commissioners, and the sug
gested solution of the difficulty plain
ly implies that the I'nited States del
g.ition is afraid to see Great Britain's
war fleet larger and stronger than
that of the I'nited States. This looks
as it Mr. Wilson had little faith in
hi: own program of disarmament and
permanent peace: else why is he at
all anxious how large Great Britain’s
navy is? And what is a navy for ex
cept for protection? Thus theory al
ways gives way to the practice of,pro
tection. • *r
