days ago by Charles M. Kickcrt. an at- <<

assault was Fickert's objection to the *

ty nsade public by John L?. Densmore, '
Federal director of general employ- '
inent, setting forth that Mooney's con- f
viction was the r-sult of corruption. '

? Captain llenjainiii II. Lipsner, director
of the I nitcd States aerial mail
service, announced in New Vork Wednesday
that the war department had
turned over to the use of the mailser\
ice "hundreds of airplanes." Captain
l.ipsner said he was not in a jkisition
to announce the exact numher
but that the machines would be used 1
as rapidly as possible in extending the <
aerial mail service to all cities of the
country. The service anticipates that
it will be able to organise its person- :
nol from hundreds of army aviators.
Clans for the laying of new routes and
I he extension ol the service on a nation-wide
scale have not as yet been
loriiiiilatcd. but it is expected that the I
extension will begin soon. Captain
l.i|isiicr poin>ed out that in addition ,
to the commercial value of the speedy
transmission of mail, already do- 1
moiistrated by the service between
New York and Uashuigton. the employ
meat of hundreds of pilots will ]
enable the nation to maintain annerial
reserve for military purposes in the 1
event of another war. Also ;is an iin
mediate benefit. a solution will be ofi?>nil
to the problem ol employment of
the returning it viators and the money
s|M-nt ??> the government in trailing
them will not be altogether lost. The (
New York-Chicago aerial mail ser- ,
\iee will be placed in operation next
month.
-The tjuestion ot conducting the
proceedings of the peace congress in i
Knglish saysal'aris dispatch is being ,
discussed, with some prospect that
this innovation wilt l>? brought about.
If It is. It will be the first great inter- I
national congress with Knglish as the |
official language, as French has long
been recognized as the medium of dip- '
loinacy. For practical reasons, it is 1
said, the use of the Knglish language |
would be more convenient to a larger ,
number of delegates than French, for
during the sessions of the inter-allied 1
conference all but two of the delegates I
s|K>kc Knglish. whereas a considerable i
number did not speak French and were ,
unable to understand the proceedings
when French was used. The printed '
record of the daily proceedings will be <
in both French and Knglish for the ,
convenience of all. and. in addition,
several of the governments probably
w ill have their own publications, dealing
with the department. Keonomic i
questions are coming prominently to ,
the front in connect ion with the presence
here of American foot! adminis- J
t rat or Hoover, who was joined today
hy Chairman Hurley, of the shipping s
ttoard. They conferred lengthily at ,
Colonel House's residence of food distribution
and tonnage. France needs '
a considerable amount of tonnage for <
the rehabilitation of her merchant i
shipping lost during the war.
? During the past few days there
have been serious indications of a 1
probable renewal of the old trouble '
between Chile on one side and Peru ?
and Bolivia on the other, which re- ,
suited in the war of 1S79-S3. and
which trouble has never !>ecn finally '
settled. The war broke out originally .
over Chile's claim to a part of the ni- |
trate districts, then belonging to Peru
and being operated by Bolivians. (
Most of the fighting was on the sea. <
and the war ended with the destruc- <
tion of the Peruvian navy by the ,
Chilean navy. Bolivia had no navy
to speak of but was defeated on land.
In the settlement. Chile took the province
of Tara Paca from Peru and oc- t
cupied the province of Tacna with the
understanding that after ten years, the 1
Inhabitants of that province would be c
permitted to decide for themselves as t
to which sovereignty they would
rather live under, that of Chile or Pe- 1
ru. There has been no subsequent ef- 3
fort at adjustment. Recently there f
havo been signs of renewed feeling In r
both Chile and Peru. Last week a
story was started in Chile to the ef
. matter. It is certain that notwithstand*

^ to admit that he has ever been actual e

1 disloyalty to his country, and as to

* All American traditions teach that every
American is a free sovereign, subject

i- matter affecting the liberties of the

n it does not seem right to Americans

big enough to face and submit to any t
truth, however unpleasant It may be. <
There is no occasion for the slightest

No other president has left the Unit- 1
ed States overnight during his term of 1
office. President Taft stepped over In- '
I to Mexico for a few hours, and that
I occasioned almost as much criticism '
as the Republicans are offering against 1
Mr. Wilson for going to the peace con- 1
ference. But let us remember that the '
United States has never before been 1
the leading figure In a world war. Nev
ur IK'IUIt IiiU) liii > ^iiui uaiivu uuci cu
ui> all its treasures, and put Its future
existence on the altar of right only for
the sake of Justice. Possibly the president
could exert the full power of the
United Strfles from Washington; but
even at that he would not be In nearly
as good position to handle everything
exactly as it should be done as he
would be on the scene of the doingAmerica
has won this war for right?
that is, her armies have put things in
shape where her statesmen can order
the situation as she will. Now in the
light of all the blood that has been
shed and all the treasure that has been
expended, wouldn't it be silly for this
country to neglect anything that would
seem necessary to secure the best possible
adjustment of the whole situation?
There is no room for "reds" In this
country and no room for any other flag
than the stars and stripes. That is because
the citizenship of this country is
so intelligent and generally prosperous;
but we regret to see such rioting
as occurred in New York the other
day. l^eft alone those reds would excite
only a kind of benevolent contempt:
hut when those soldierr and
sailors step In, mainly for the fun of
the thing, they only add to the zeal of
the poor, misguided ignoramuses who
imagine they are standing', for a principle.
In more distant places, where
the people do not breathe the atmosphere
of the real situation, the thing is
magnified into ominous significance
and there you are. A thousand or ten
thousand Socialists don't amount to
anything in New York,where there is
such a vast and motley collection of
kinds of people. It would be possible
there to get a procession of any kind
of people?say of one-legged auctioneers;
of folks who from choice go
bareheaded in the rain; of folks who j
walk backwards on the way to the i
barbershop; of folks who play mumble <
in hnelr sillevti Some of these '
would be included In a red procession;
but they would not amount to any
more as a collective organization than
they would flocking together each according
to its own feather. The law.
however, if left to its course, can preserve
order among them all.
The I'eace Conference.
If there are any who think that the
coming peace conference is to be in
the nature of deliberations "between
the representations of the Allied powers
and the Germans as to what shall
and shall not be done,^ we are tinder
the impression that they have a Jeaidedly
wrong concepflon as to
situation.
There have been treaty making conferences
between belligerent nations
with a view of getting together after a
long and bloody war. whlc' conferences
were in the nature of conciliatory
give and take and the like, but
this conference is not to be along that
line?not so far as Germany is concerned.
The armistice agreement, signed by
the Germans on November 11. was prepared
by Allied statesmen and military
authorities in joint co-operation. Its
terms included all the principles of
military settlement that had been
evolved and established since tho be- s
ginning of wars between mankind, applied
to conditions us they appeared to
those statesmen and soldiers at that
time. I
The Germans hjjid nothing to do but 1
sign, and they signed.
The peace agreement is to be drawn j
up In very much the same manner. All <
of the Allied powers, along with the 1
I various neutrals, will have more or j
less voice in saying what they want i
I and what they do not want, ayd Great 1
Britain, America. France and Italy will !
have the deciding say in the order ,
named as to what shall and shnll not be. I
And after It Is all over Germany, I
Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria will sign
on the lines left for their signatures.
Keport of the Grand Jury.
From the final presentment submitted
to the court last Monday, by the
York county grand Jury, It appears
that this body has been giving more
than usual attention to the general
welfare of the county.
Of all the different matters touched
upon we would not like to say which is
most important, but we do not mind
saying that as we see it the whole report
Is indicative of thoughtful and intelligent
study of the general well-being
One of the most embarrassing questions
probably relates to the separation
of the races on the chalngang. This
I question has been raised by the department
of charities and corrections,
which has been working on the matter
for a number of years. It is not to be j
denied that there is merit In the idea. |
and the grand Jury recognises the fact; 1
but It is not quite ready to recommend ]
the trouble and expense that will be |
necessary to preserve the color line in 1
the case of white men who allow them- '
selves to fall to the level of the chain- '
gang. Still It seems to recognise that t
there is merit to the desire of the de- <
partment of charities and corrections
to establish the distinction.
The recommendation as to the road i
question is rather too general to be of '
much specific value in the way of sug- ,
gestion. But nevertheless there Is sat- t
isfaction in knowing that the grand '
jury nas mis an important mauer in
mlnfl?that It Is not content with existing
conditions and that it desires
Improvement
There Is some significance too. to the
reference to the unnecessary expense
of maintaining a whisky constable here
out of the law and order fund. It Is not
to be denied that there Is more or less
\iolation of the liquor laws In this
county; but so far as the information
of the grand Jury goes the regularly
constituted local authorities have been
and are doing their full duty, and they
are not In need of outside help. On
the contrary outside help in a matter
like this Is construed by numy as having
the effect of outside lntei fsrOics.
with the result that the laws are probably
not so well enforced as would be 0
:he case if the full responsibility rested LOCAX* AFFAIRS,
