About 50,000 French, Greek and Rumanian soldlers occupied the city unable to withstand a nu- stronger force coming down but were merically from the north. Another chapter is added to the book of indecision and hesitancy in the Allied military pro- gram. The Bolshevik menace is rec- ognized as threatening Iurope and eventually the world. Yet less than two divisions of soldiers were sent to stem the tide at one of the most vital points on the entire front. Half- hearted measures are usually met with disaster and while the Allied Tegions were able to withdraw intaecl, the | fact cannot be overlooked that it was a defeat and a serious one. While the Allies ponder, the Bolsheviki gain new strength and new reeruits. the problem may be so staggering that no mfilitary force can cope with it. Soon it may be too late.

We cannot. be sure about that, but it is certain that no plausibie error of that sort would b imitted in any mod- ern psychol al test. And any ques tion on that subject would have to be classified as a psychological test rath .1 anything else. For Greenw Village is above all else distinetly psychological. It is a state of mind even more than it is a lo- cality. Some harsh eriti have even gone so far as to declare t it is nothing less than a nightmare. Anyway there are sound reasons for questioning rank ag a Village. About everyone knows what a villaze is like. It may be large or small, but its distinguish- ing characte ristic unmistakable. Yet any unenlizhtenel person might bhe set down in middle of Greenwich Village without ever recognizing any- thing that resembled o village ironment. Of course, there was a time several centuries ago when the a snre-enough village.

Some of its en- thusiastic inhabitants are wont to fancy that spiritually it has moved considerably faster than the rest of’ the city, but that is # guestion that might furnish a lively debate. Cer- e various respects in which the district is thoroughly vil- lage-like and any unprejudiced visi- tor at any time can find an abundance of local characters who bear a strik- “yaps.” We believe that to reach Greenwich Village you should zc due south on Tifth avenus, throug the Washing- ton Arch and keep on going until things begin to look decidedly queer.

Consequently there is always a perfect village atmosphere due to | the presence of so many village vo- kels, But the really important thing is that the village business is prospering so mightily that it has hecome neces- sary for an important metropolitan bank to establish a village branch and participate in the profit-taking.

(New York World) As The World has said of previous crises in the peace conference, all the serious difficulties have resulted from nullify the 14 points of peace enumerated in Pr congress, attempts to evade or ident Wilson's January 8, 1918. In the circumstances the president cannot do less than to demand ‘thit the conference must kéep faith and finish its work without furthem:pro- crastination. The. question-at iseus is vital, and the United States cannot e a party to an imperialistic peace based upon the (Prussian’ theory. of diplomacy. J The Ailies were under no obliga- tions to adopt President Wilson's 1 points as the basis for peace, but hawi- ing voluntarily accepted those points they are under the gravest moral ob- ligations to keep their solemn pledses. When the German government in for an armistice and offered to make peace on the terms lald down in President Wilson's &d- dress to congress, January & 1818, and his subsequent addresses. the Allies were free to refect the proposal. did not reject it., They formally accepted it and framed the terms of the-armistice accordingly. Two of the 14 points were modified or interpreted, but subject to these changes the Allles at Versailles on Ndovember 4," 1918, “their- willingness to make peace with the zovernment of Germany on the terms of peace Jatd down in President Wilson's ad- dress to congress of January & and the mrinciples of settlement enunei- ated in his subsequent addresses.” This action on the part of the Al- lies at Versailles was voluntary. THey were free to reject the German offér if they chose, and continue the war address to {in the hope of reaching a compiéte military decision that would enable them to impose any terms ' tliey pleased, but . they .adopted the. other course, and .they must abjde by, that Hecision. Otherwise their diplomacy stands as discredited as German &i- plomacy, so far as integrity and. good faith are concerned. They cannot al- low greed, rancor or fear to make & scrap of paper out of the declaration of November 4 without impeaching their own honesty and their own sin- cerity, and we can think of no greater calamity that could befall the world | at this time than that This is ot a controversial issue: be- tween President Wilson and any of the allied governments, a mere differ- ence of opinfon about houndary lines and concessions and reparation. Tt s a moral issue which cannot be comm- promised. Either the conference at Parls must proceed, to complete & treaty of peace in accordance with the decision made at Versailles Novem- ber 4, or the diplomatic bankruptey of Furope is complete and the word of no European government can ‘e trusted. What this would mean to the future peace of the world the dull- est or the most grasping of plenivo- tentiaries can readily perceive. It is unfortunate that any dispute should have arisen over this questién, but in refusing to be a party to he Prussianization of the peace confer- ence, President Wilson is speaking for the conscience of mankind.
