In fact it would be rather a difficult matter to definitely determine any such thing, but word has come to this country to the ef- fect that there would be no objection offered by Great Britain and France to such reservations as have been pro- posed in connection with the discus- mion of the ratification of the treaty in the senate and country. One of the great objections that has been raised to' doing anvthing but ewallowing the treaty just as it is, #nd accepting all the provisions of the league of nation’s covenant without change, is that such would have to be but a Sunday school picnic until the federal authorities were called in to take charge of what had gotten be- yond the control of the capital police. This should quickly end the trouble but it calls’ for the taking of .steps that will make such a situation im- possible in the future. > There ‘is indicated a lack of pre- had such been employed when dan- gerous conditions ‘were disclosed a large amount of trouble. and a de- plorable situation could have been avoided. NOT FOR THE DUTCH. A pretty good idea of the condi- tions that surround the life gf sailors on merchant vessels of this country and these of other countries is. fur- mereed to by the other nations and the desire to avold that necessity with fts uncertainty has been urged. The tmpression has been gained from such that there would be little possibility of the European nations giving fa- vorable consideration to any altera- tions or reservations. It cannot fail to have been appar-j ent to the represcntatives of European', countries that there was opposition to eertain features even before they were mctualiy adopted. so it cannot be sur- prising that the senate should” not fa- cor certain reservations that concern the welfare of th country, and while it has been said that we should not break the heart of Europe by keeping out of a league, it can be fully ap- preciated that Europe will not break its own heart by objecting to such ‘res- ervations as will make the covénant ® better document, and insure the! fnembership of the United States in| s league zoverned thereb DO I w. In the natural course of evests there was reason to believe that some. ev7dence of appreciation of the ser- wice rendered by those upon whem-a large part of the successful outcome of our part in the war depended would be shown. Such a move is now being made through the request to rongress that the rank of general be conferred upon Generals Pershing and March, and the rank of admiral upon Admirals Sims and Benson and such to be permanent These leaders have of course held those ranks during the war, but now that the war is over unless some such action is taken by congress as pought they will be obliged to take a lower rank and in some instances may be outranked by others because of length of service. This well shown by what has tdken place in the case of Rear Ad- miral Sims. He enjoved the rank of af@miral until the work to which he was assigned was completed, but mince returning to this country and bping assigned to duties at Newport ke bas taken a lower grade. This will be true of Pershing, March and Ben- son to whose services the country owes much. That is hardly the way in which the country has recognized such performances in the past and it is not to be believed for a minute that 1€ will be in this instance. It is time ts show our appreciation of duty well pérformed and even though it re- qitires special legislation the time to @5 1t is now, while the men are alive add in the service of their country 28d not wait until they have left the service or died before showing our just appreciation The glorious service that they.have rendered and the magnificent results obtained are entitled to just recosni- tipn and there can be little question Bgt what it will be conferred. BOTH VETOES EFFECTIVE. That the presidential vetoes of the agricultural bill because of the rider therein to repeal daylight saving leg- istation, and the sundry civil bill, be- | eamse proper provision had not been made to carry out what was aimed at snd desired, would prevail was be- Meved at tWe time the refusal to ap- prove the measures was declared. Bince that time there has been a re- eonsideration of the sundry civil bill with the result that an additional eight million has been provided for taking care of the rehabilitation work for the ‘soldiers, the redrafted measures has received the approvai of both houwses of congress and has been signed by the president. Thus is passed cne of the large appropria- tion measures that government de- partments have been waiting for, and without a struggle. Not as smooth sailing was experi- enced when it came to reconsidering the agricultural bill. Those were striving to please those who in sist that daylight saving law is &e- trimental to their interests besan to throw obstacies in the way of elimi- nating the troublesome rider.
