No criticism can fairly be offered of any demands made by France J from Germany, of whom she must i for a long time be suspicious, andI the aim of French statesmen in put-1 ting forward claims which might | seem extreme can be summed up In one word?security. When we con vince France that she Is protected by the League of Nations, by all civ- j llised States, and that ahe need not' look for her safety against brutal and I perfidious attack only to her own un- I aided strength, there will be no dif ficulty about French desires to annex territory inhabited by peoples of other races But on that point France will take a great deal of convincing. Of this. 1 repeated conversations 1 have had with French statesmen leave no doubt, and it is not to be wondered at, in view of the agonies to which | the republic haa submitted at the I hands of her rivala and more pow erful neighbors, who will now. many Frenchmen fear, begin to prepare 'for a war of revenge In which 1 France, as before, must stand alone against a tide of invaalon until her friends can come to her help Italy. In a treaty with France and Russia Just before her entrance into; the war In 1*15. was guaranteed parts : of 1strla and Dalmatia. which the I principle of nationality demands shall go to a new free nation springing [ from the ashes of the Dual Mon- I archy. Here acatn I think Ameri-1 cans need not assume that Italy will | prove unreasonable, or that her for mer demands are In irreconcilable conflict, as they appear to be. with the new world spirit of peace which we are out to get. For It must be re membered that Italy, at the time her I terrltorisl program * as framed. 1 looked forward to a world of wars | of violence, and felt compelled to seek safety in th* old guarantees of strategic frontiers and economic ad vantages over her neighbors, Italy Cas?ll?i?. It has been said by Italians that the Adriatic is one of th* lungs of t Italy by which they meant that the ! possession of this sea was vital to the safety of the country These views, though still held by some, have I of late been giving way to the feel- . I ing that, under a world of interna- I 1 tional comity and guarantees, strate | gical requirements need no longer be ! regarded as of the same Importance, while the doctrine of the Ix>a*u* of Nations and the inspiring utterances of President Wilson have made many I converts amon,; important Italians. I The recent recognition by Baron j Sonnlno. the foreign minister of the ! Jugo-Slav nation, disposes of what i w as long a bogie among many en tente pollticiana. that the interests | of the new Greater Serbia were In such conflict with those of Italy that their rival clairoa to the same terri torial spoils would not be satisfied j without conflict.

Harvey Garrett veteran rail road man. 21 years in th* s^rvic* of the Texaa and Pacific Railroad, has patented device to prevent rear end collisions. The invention consists of a block laid flat on the head of a rail, th* top of the block arched to rais* the wheels of a car from the rail. The block is provided with a flsnge to divert tb? wheel from the track as It takes the arch. A care-shaped lever is so arranged that a single movement rapidly clamps the block to the rail. Mr. Garrett has submitted his de vice to the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Railway Com mission has it under consideration Judge John M. Spellman. of Dallas.
