WILSON’S RESPONSIBILITY
~"r"
President Wilson should never have
permitted Colonel House to take ser
vice as a newspaper correspondent.
He knows too much. When he takes
his pen in hand to write of foreign
affairs it becomes difficult to avoid
letting the curtain slip from his back
ground of knowledge of the secrets of
the peace conference.
To Colonel House, writing in the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, we are
indebted for the revelation that it was
Wilson and Wilson’s league scheme
that kept us and the whole world out
of peace with Germany. After the
armistice it was proposed in Paris
that a working peace treaty be drawn
at once. It was not intended to fill in
all the details, but to conclude an
agreement on the broad essentials that
would at once show the world where
it stood, and enable it to get back to
Avork.
Colonel House says rightly that this
was the obvious thing to do. With an
immense and victorious army to back
them up, the allies would have had no |
trouble, he points out, in bringing Ger-!
many to an immediate settlement.!
Out of his knoAvledge of the facts—
Avhich is, of course, unquestioned—
he says positively that peace could
have been declared before Christmas
of 1918.
Colonel House does not need to tell
us why this desirable action was not
taken. We know that Wilson, ob
sessed with a vision of himself as the
savior of the world and the dictator
of the future happiness of the world,
had to force a halt until he could go
to Europe in fitting pomp, and that
after he had arrived in Paris the es
sential business of making peace had
to wait until he could graft on the
treaty his pet project.
Can any reasonable man doubt that
a treaty containing the same essentials
of peace between Germany and the al
lies that appeared in the final draft
at Versailles could have been ready a
month after the signing of the armi
stice? Disposition of the skull of the
Sultan Ogawa might have had to wait
but much more important items than
this are waiting still. Colonel Hose
—a first-class authority—says it could
have been done, and ought to have
been done.
But Wilson stopped it so that he
might force incorporation of his league
plan, a strategem by which he hoped
to compel its adoption by the United
States. But though the American peo
ple would have approved a plain peace
treaty immediately, the overburden of
the league was too much for it to swal
low. And as it could not disentangle
the two it was compelled to reject the
treaty. Thus Wilson’s course, and not
the attitude of the senate, is responsi
ble for the failure of the treaty. We
have the testimony of Colonel House
to show the personal ambition that
dictated Wilson’s whole course as a
peacemaker, we might turn to the con
vincing exposition of his motives pre
sented by Count Bernstoff, who,
though not to be trusted in some mat
ters, finds it to his own interest to
place the president’s activities for
peace in as good a light as possible.
Bernstorff shows that Wilson kept
us out of war to serve his own per
sonal ambitions, and it is obvious that
he has kept us out of peace from like
motives. And the foreign commit
ments that have grown out of such a
policy are the ones that Cox has had
to pledge himself to as the price of
administration support.—San Francis
co Chronicle.
We notice in an advertisement of
shredded asbestos in a magazine. We
wonder if a book of dainty recipes goes
with each package.
Paper money spreads disease germs,
scientists insist, but none has yet been
returned to us with a request that a
doctor's certificate of good physical
condition accompany same.
We notice a song recital advertised
to be sung in Esperanto. It is well to
have this latter fact well advertised,
as otherwise the audience wrould never
notice the difference.
A petrified leg has been found in a
Pennsylvania coal mine. Evidently the
present day methods of leg-pulling are
only a continuation of more crude
methods used in the by-gone ages.

1 Cordova:
I
Through your efforts the Bureau of
Fisheries will hold a hearing at Cordova
to determine what steps, if any, are neces
sary to protect the red salmon of the Cop
per river from extinction.
It is up to you to see that any informa
, tion showing the cause of the rapidly de
creasing salmon run or the depletion of
the spawning ground is brought before the
committee on the fifth of October.
Alaska was once the great breeding
ground of the sea otter.
How many of them are left?
Many canneries of Southeastern Alas
I
ka are falling into decay for lack of fish.
Do you want Cordova to be in a like
situation? Do you want your fishing fleet
and nets to rot in disuse?
This is your cause. A few sensible reg
ulations now will save a lot of sorrow in
future.

BREAKING AWAY FROM HABIT
Habit, the stern taskmaster, makes •women old before their
time. Because of habit, we all do work that could be done as weii
and as cheaply by others.
Many woman have their washing done at home because of
habit the old tradition that it can be done better and more cheaply
than in a modern laundry.
But facts are not in accord with this old belief. The scientific
manner in which clothes are now washed and sterilized in a mod
ern laundry such as ours, not only produces superior work, but
actually saves you money when time, material and fuel are con
sidered.
Every week, more women are deciding that “Sending it to
Jones” is the efficient way—breaking away from the old habit
of home washing, with its attendant backaches, worry and slush,
and now devoting this time to reading, walking, shopping or sew
ing. i
