The country understands it and there is evidence that even Mr. Bur- leson is heginning to see it regardless of the efforts that he has made to claim that certain interests were out to harm him. The trouble all lies, hewever, with Mr. Burleson and the quicker he can be separated from the cantrol he now exercises the better it will be for all concerned. 1 as STOCKS OF WAR MATERIALS. There are large quantities of war eypplies owned by this country net only held in this country but stored on the other side, It part of the work of this country to get such ma- terial across the water for the use of the army in driving back the Ger- mans. How much was going to be re- quired it was impossible Lo estimate because it could not be told how long it would take, but it was amassed with the idea of making a complete job of it and the result is that there is a large amount which will net be used for the purpose intended. It is not surprising therefore that it ig' claimed there are 40,000 my au- tomobiles in France, 20,000 aeroplanes which have not been unboxed, a ve- frigerating plant containing two mil- liop' tons of fresh meat, while it is knpwn that there is a large amount of rallroad ,material, locomotives, rolling steck of other kinds and what this | tol- | attention but it! |it w and a large | cer- | de- | { the v‘!r\mllp there are others who have and |h the mated changes | e at-| have r of { form itself than it would atti-{to the ident has taken, and |t 1 | Assoc | their control | e little question in his mind how the \\'"!‘ | | ment of -ement | the advise | ard hould i expect for that | | turning i telegraph | | picture: | bolsheviki | did, amounts te 400 milés of trackage. Al- so there have -bben constructed huge warehouses, ‘tepair” plasts, ‘arms fac- tories and: wharves, some of the men being engaged at the present time in construction work of this kind which it is expected will keep them busy for three or four morniths to come. = . This is all "a_part of the work of preparatien.: - Much of the material will be disposed of where it is at the best price that can he obtained. Other material will be brought home. Inas- much as’there are -a million soldiers, or thereabouts on the other side there will be use for much of the food that is in store there, but such things as the railroads, wharves and" store- bouses will not be disturbed. They will be sold to the highest hidder and France will be glad to get the benefit of them. Such a surplus represents a large amount of money but it is only what helped to turn the tide of ‘war and what is made necessary under those conditions' if success is going to ained. PROGRESS IN FLYING. Where the crossing of the Atlantic|i ol in the afr was. ‘considered only dream a few ‘years ago the situation is entirely changed ‘today. It not only seems possible for such a flight to e made.but quite probable that it will be accomplished this year and may be next month. Not only has it been showh that it is possible to at- tain sufficient speed to negotiate the distance in 24 hours or less, but n nes haye been built ich ¥ crews of five members and a | sufficient guantity of gasoline to keep machine going for that period.

It looks as if all the allied repre- sentatives now feel that there is good and sufficient reason for all the arti- cles of the league covenant as revised. If you ever stop to netice it, it is not from the going up hut from the coming down that the aviators re- ceive their bumps, fatal and other- wise. Now Mr. Burleson wants to be al- lowed to. lotigo of the cables and the telephong apd telegraph lines. Tt must be that the svires are getting too hot for him. There’s one thing abeut it, the mem- bers of the entente ‘nations haven’t got to worry over the territory that the United States seeks as the resmlt of the war. 1 It planned to have a wire fence around the building where the German delegates are to stay at Versailles, but care will have to be taken that they don't attempt to dig under. It is entirely’ possible of course that the increased rates-to be charged for telepnones will result in a greater use of the postal service.

Tt wae a eritica move but it was forced upon the presi- dent by three considerations. In the first place the time had certainly come to make clear to an impatient world thaat the Paris conference “was no Counecil of Vienna in which mon- archs were jockeving for individnal advantages but a-theeting of states men. devoted to the gvod of their sev- eral peoples and manxid as a whole.

The hope of being of real assistance |to the Italian delegates in their real-| ly difficult political position: was, thej second comsideration that influenced | President Wilson in issuing his su prising statement that Olando. is b no means to be considered as demand- | ing Fiume for his own glory, great asj would be his popularity were he to be successful. i displaying merely indicates his earnest desire to carry out hus les as he understands | patriotic citizen he wishes |every possible advantage for his peo-|Y |ple, but as a reasonable being he un- '“ doubtedly has Jong seen that HH\' cannot secure all her demands against! ! the united opposition oz her allies.
