PARIS AND BULLITT. Regarding the interview, given out Washington, by William C. Bullitt, who is quated as telling the Foreign that Secretary Lansing made the statement that *‘tho American people would not ratify the in telations committee League of Nations Treaty if they fully it what it meant to attitude of the French news service is of general interest. It ascribes the words of Bullitt to ‘“‘spite over the President's refusal to let his (Bullitt's) Russian public.” understood and them,” the report to become Colonel House, also in Paris, has refused to discuss the matter. There is a great possibility that Bul- litt is dissatisfied with something that took place between him and the Presi- dent. tive However, he made a very posi- statement, without laying the blame, any question door. at Secretary The Frenchmen are able to look upon the question in an impartial light, but the United States may well refuse to take their word for it until the Secretary is summoned before the committee and allowed to explain what he said, if he did say it, and why. If Mr. Lansing knows more than he has given forth, if he has points of divergence with the treaty that others have not, his duty as an American citizen, and as Secretary of State is to make public his beliefs. The Secretary, when he appeared before the committee recently, gave no hint of being displeased with the pact. In fact he gave it to be understood that he knew very little about it. Now, Lansing’s a person that has a possible grievance, asserts that he knew enough abouf it to be afraid of it. Mr. Lansing should prove that Mr. Bullitt's assertions were untrue or tell us what he thinks. FACTS AND FANCIES. And now will Boston be calling for a mandatory >—Manchester Union.

(Providence Journal.) Today the sun sets at 7:03 p. m. A year from today it will set at 6:03— unless we get bu and put daylight saving into effect on our own account. Can we afford to lose the great boon we have enjoyed during the las two years? Are we willing to sit idly by and let the opponents of day light saving have their way? It will require work to put tional daylight savinz schedule into operation in 1920, now that congress has repealed the national 1918-1919 system. But it is well worth while.

(New York Herald.) The profession of nursing has gained immeasurably in importance and emoluments during the last few years. The gin-drinking Sairey Gamp of Dickens' time was long ago re- placed by the modern type—low- voiced, light-footed, quick of hand, resourceful in emergency, educated and sympathetic. It t8 a celling that appeals strong- ly to the beet feminine instincts, Moreover, the position of the graduate nurse s an enviable one, Involving as it doaz very good pay, unusual per- sonal independence and work of in- finite variety and iInterest, But despite these manifold advan. tages It har become increasingly dif. ficult to induce young women to en. ter this profession, The reason for this 1s that the cenditions under which the novice must work during unattractive. Now that the elements of nursing are acquired in most schools the three years' course is al- together too long, a the twelve hour shift demanded hospitals. Eight hours is quite lo: enough for the sort of work that” the proba- tioner must do, and the pay during the probationary period is too small. In many hospitals the quality of food supplied to nurses has heen the sub- ject of bitter complaint and in more than one instance has been the cause of a strike. To induce young college graduates to cnter this profession there must be a complete readjust- ment of these condition is in \ Good Soldier’s Good Sense. (New York World.) Gen. Pershing’s warning to American Legion, the new organ tion of’ those who served in the world war, against becoming a tool in the hands of politicians was uttered bé- cause it was needed. Enrollment is in its early stages but the blandish- ments of demagogues are more than keeping pace with it. Co-operation by soldiers and sailors in civil life is desirable from ev point of view if the purpose is worth of the cause which is the basis of union. Recognition of the responsi- bilities of citizenship, the promotion of true patriotism and respect for law, as the general said, will add lustre to triumphs gloriously won and perpet- uate in peace the spirit that made the Republic invincible in war. Strong ties bind together men who have experienced common dangers and sacrific but they are no more cred than those attaching to the nship that called millions into service. Gen. Pershing’s high ap- preciation of this truth has guided him at all times. He recommends nothing to his fellow service men that he does not practise himself. The w dom of his words corresponds with the modesty of his estimate of deeds that have given him imperishable fame as a soldier of democracy.

WANT TO French Marine Plan of Minister Committecs Approve of Marine. Paris, Sept. 15.—The request of the minister of marine for appropriations to resume work on five battleships which were on the stocks before the war is meeting with opposition in the marine committees of the chamber and senate, it being asserted the ships as they were planned do not accord with new conditions of warfare. Work on the five ships was suspend- ed in 1915. Engineers of the naval department argue that they may be modernized, but there is a strong cur rent af sentiment in favor of dismant- ling the hulls and saving the large amount of money the completion of the work would involve.

MOTT, Notary Publie, P WCUMBER SCORES MAJORITY REPORT Says Shantung Amenflmem Would Kick Japan Out of League Washington, all Sept. 15.—Rejection proposed amendments to the German peace treaty and modification of the recommended ‘‘strong” reserva- tions was urged in an individual mi- ! nority report filed with the senate to- day by Senator McCumber, republi- can, North Dakota, next in rank on the foreign relations committee to Chairman Lodge. Senator MecCum- ber did not Join in the recent re- publican majo report, and voted with the democrats on amendments and several reservations. Attacks Majol Attacking of ty Report. the majority report of Chairman Lodge, Senator McCumber denounced most of the majority amendments as “selfish, immoral and dishenorable” and charged they seek to “isolate the United States from the rest of the world and abandon our allies.” | “To the substance of some of the proposed reservations,” the senator's report declared, “‘there can be no se- rious objection. But against the man- ner in which they are asserted I do most earnestly protest. They are couched in a defiant, discourteous and overbearing manner, and seem intended to express a jingoistic spirit that ought to be eliminated from American statesmanship.” Scoring the committee reservation to Article X of the league of nations covenant, Senator McCumber said it really is an amendment ‘pure and simple” and designed to take the United States entirely out of the league. Horrified Over Shantung. Special opposition was expressed by Senator McCumber to the proposed amendment to the Shantung provision. By this amendment, he said, Japan would be “kicked out” of the league by the United States and Shantung possibly lost to China Calling attention to what he termed the failure of the committee major- ity to explain the purposes of the league Senator McCumber said: allusion made concerning either the great purpose of the league of na- tions nor the methods by which those purposes are to he accomplished. “Irony and sacasm have been sub- stituted for argument. It is regret- table that the animosity which cen- | ters almost wholly against the league | should have been engendered against a subject so important to the world's welfare. It is regrettable that the consideration of a matter so foreign to partisanship should influenced by hostility towards or subserviency to the president.” U Needs No More Votes. Analyzing the commiitee amend- ments, Senator McCumber said that the amendments to give the United he Not one word is said. not a single States equal votes in the league with The McMillan Store, Inc. “ALWAYS RELIABLE” e e 'FLOO COVERINGS MODERATELY PRICED.

Senator McCumber said his only ob- jections to the ILodge reservation on withdrawal from the league was of form. As to the Lodge reservation to Article X, Senator McCumber said he had many objections. “First it is an amendment and simple,” he said,” of the most important article in the league. Its purpose to take the United States as a power for the peace of the world out of the league entirely. “*‘Second, it places th country in a false and wrong position—an atti- tude of encouragement, powerful countries to inflict or impose any wrong upon weaker nations, by our declared poli of non-intervention.” | With his report Senator McCumber submitted the six reservations he champions as substitutes for the committee reservations.
