The formalities in the exchange of the treaties, Says the Associated Press despatch, will consume only a few minutes, The formalities will not include a reading of the words Senator Henry Cabot Lodge wrote in 1918: “We cannot make peace except in company with our allies, It would brand us with ever lasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make a separate peace Nor will these words be recalled by any whose eloquence is heard in Washington to-day.

If the Joint Comimission— which the employers accepted in principle—had dis- agreed, then the employers would have had oppor- tunity for making the same rules they have now promulgated. The merit of the rules would then have been in question. As it is, the Employers’ Association comes to the Court of Public Opinion with dirty hands. They are not men of honor. They are branded as con- tract-breakers. The Court of Public Opinion should treat them as such. iy It is a shameful breach So far Marshal Foch has collected about a dozen high honorary degrees from American | colleges and he ts only Loginning to get back to where the universities are thick | NEITHER SO CLEVER NOR SO DEVILISH. | URGES JOHNSON, who, as a professor at Vassar College, has had ample field for ob- servation, believes college girls are no more wicked than their grandmothers. College students are a perennial subject for criti- cism. Perhaps the girls are more in the limelight now, for their numbers have been increasing most rapidly in recent years. But, boy or girl, it is easy to criticise. If it is not their manners that are wrong, it is their clothes, and if not their clothes, then their morals. Yet, when all is said and done, the young people with ambition for college educations are more likely to turn out well than the less ambitious, The present day criticism of college morals is pretty largely the result of an overdose of the “This Side of Paradise” school of fictional pub- licity. Fitzgerald, the author of this book, is by no means the only press agent of the iniquity of the modern college, and most of the stuff printed is fiction, imaginative fiction, not realism dressed in the garb of fiction. There undoubtedly are collegians of the Fitz- geraldish type. But they are out of the ordinary. Along with their iniquity the young people, who are made to appear a long way from the ways of Paradise, have a perfectly diabolical cleverness that stamps them as creatures of fiction, Bright and interesting as college students are, they are nowhere near so scintillating as the fictlonists make them. The press agents of collegiate devillry botched (4 THE EV ENING WORLD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBE the job. They overdid their work.

It closes Thankegiving Day. Membership costs from one dollar up. The amount is made low because the Red Cross is pri- marily concerned in rousing the interest of a great number of persons. The dollar is important, but the membership is more important. The Red Cross is the great na- tional and international organization of mercy. It is your Red Cross. Every contributor, every member is a partner in the good work it does. New York City’s quota is $500,000, That is little enough. ‘he city ought to have more than half a million members. The war popularized the Red Cross. Almost every one was a member then. Now is not the time to let memberships lap: There is work to be done, and the Red Cross is doing it. The Red Cross dollar goes a long way, because it finances the efforts of many volunteer workers enlisted under the banner of mercy. If your wartime membership lapsed, now is a good time to renew. If you have kept it up through these troublesome years of reconstruction, then enroll for 1922. Red Cross membership ought to be a habit.

R 11, 1921. _ By John ‘Cassel THE UNKNO MERICA’S Unknown Soldier. With love and reverence the country lays him in his grave to-day This is his final resting place. Among the people for whom he gave his life, whose thoughts were once his thoughts, whose hopes were his hopes, whose destiny was his destiny, he is to sleep henceforth, forever honored. The highest decorations rulers, parliaments and legislatures can confer lie on his coffin. Governments and statesmen have paid him tribute. President, Cabinet Officers, Legislators, Generals, Admirals—the highest and most distinguished in the land—walk with bowed heads behind his body. The whole Nation pauses in its busy life and stands silent and with full heart as he is lowered into the soil of his home land. America’s Unknown Soldier. As he lay shattered and dying on a battlefield of France, who knows what larger vision and hope may have glorified his last moments? Who knows what thoughts may have taken clear form in his mind so nearly freed from the cruelty and 9onfusion of life? Perhaps it was granted him to think; Millions of men do not go down to death like this for nothing. Other men they leave alive and men who come after them cannot forget. I see my own people—the people of the United States —bigger of soul and outlook. I see them with a new view of the world and their place in it. I see them taking the lead in each and every move among nations to end these horrors and these sacri- fices. WN SOLDIER. I see them turning in disgust from those who ask them to look upon any aspect of this awful thing through eyes of politics or party. I see them with new courage for co-operation. I see them less selfishly fearful of the risks of partnership. 1 see them less calculating. I see my own people a new people, with a new pur- pose, because of their memory of this. I see them henceforth ready to dare nobly and much for peace. America’s Unknown Soldier No one will ever know who he was or what were his thoughts. Nevertheless, since the country honors in him the highest type of the service and sacrifice he stands for, should it not also turn back at this solemn moment and honor the ideals and aims it professed when it sent him to his death? Should it not honor him by renewing the faith and the pledges with which in an exalted moment it sur- rounded him? America’s Unknown Soldier. It is easy to give him a great funeral, a solemn burial, all the ceremonial with which a rich and powerful Nation honors itself as well as him. But where are the simple, sincere thoughts, the high resolves, the larger individual and national purposes that swelled American hearts when this unknown soldier sailed overseas? The highest honor the Nation could pay him would be to prove itself no smaller of spirit at his grave than it was when it sent him forth to fight. Can it lay that tribute on his coffin?
