TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 84, 1»1».
A RELUCTANT SIGNER
On Monday it was reported that Haniel v. Haim
hausen who was chosen to append tlje signature of the
German government to the peace treaty, energetically
had said that he would not do so yet the following
morning an apparently authentic report coming from
Paris says that v. Haimh&usln will sign the treaty, after
all, and then one saying that he would resign rather
than sign.
It is r.onyaratlvely Immaterial whether this particu
lar Individual resists or consents, and the incident is men.
tloned merely because it is typical of the attitude of the
•German government ever since th# peace terms began
to become known. We have heard a lot about national
pride forbidding the acceptance of the peace conditions
—of vital interests w4ich would suffer extremely In ease
the fatal signature were affixed we have heard many
words about German desires to defy the Allies even at
the hour of deepest humiliation, and we have been
taught by facts not to believe the protestations which
were accompanied with a chorus of "We will not sign."
Such things make no impression on the rest of the world,
for it is nothing but camouflage, to us* one of the Words
that became so popular dpring ttys war.
What may be of more importance is the probable Ger
man readiness to consider the peace treaty another
"scrap
paper," as it appears from an address deliv­
ered at Weimar by Premier Bauer. In denouncing the
conditions Herr Bauer takes advantage of the opportu
nity to inform the world at large that he is quite certain
the treaty cannot be respected in all its details, and tKat
some of its stipulations must need be violated.
That the willingness to ignore the command of the
peace treaty is present seems quite certain, but there is
some doubt as to the ability of new Germany to tear
the document to pieces. Furthermore, Germany cannot
afford it, and in this respect the nation does well in re4
membering Herr Bauer's own words that "only by a
revolution of onr moral consciousness can ife succeed in
raising ourselves out of our night into a better future."
Surely a renovated moral consciousness cannot ^sanc
tion any contemplated violation of an agreement sol
emnly signed by duly accredited representatives of the
government ajid the people.
INVENTIONS AND THE FUTURE
London announcement carries the message that
some time'during the present summer wireless telegraphy
•will be used far ntjre extensively than ever before for
communication between all tbe continents of the globe,
and that nil advantage will be taken of a number of
valuable and important experiences gained during the
war. Immense stations' are being erected on the sea
coast of various countries, and at the same time wire*
less telegraphy is making rapid strides ahead, with the
probable result that within a few years it will be possi
ble to telephone from any point in the United States to
any European or even Asiatic city.
Simultaneously wlth_ this development, the art or
science of aviation is making unprecedented progress,
and soon the sight of airplanes following regular routes
between cities and countries will be almost as common
as the sight of automobiles.
In the midst of these and( other movements to make
life easier. and more comfortable it is often tempting to
try to picture the world as it looked, for instance, a hun
dred years ago when the steam engine and the steamship
were still just invented devices which filled people with
awe and suspicion: It must have been impoisible then
no foresee the achievements of the twentieth century al
though we have indications that at^least one man, Ber
nard de Sauville, of Bordeaux, perceived the unlimited
possibilities of a coming century. Writing in his diary
'just now published on* hundred years after his death,
de Sanville says in 1111
"I cannot exactly sayyiiy, buKl feel that my great
grandchildren or their children in about a hundred years
from now will bo able to atay under the sea for many
houjs, that they will be able to fly like the birds, and to
talk to people at distant points using the air as a means
of transmitting theiv^voices. I feel—and I am getting
old and a little wiser than before—that the future is, a
''"wonderful one, aqd it fills my heart with great sadness
to think that I shall not live to see all this."
It may have been Comparatively easy for a well edn
t?, cated man in the beginning of the nineteenth century
-7- to draw conclusions from the events about him so that
he eodl^form a reasonable vision of the future, but con
sitfering the rapidity with which "the world doth move"
these days, It would seem futile for anyone to indulge in
speculations as to what mechanical perfection humanity
baa attained one century from now. Naturally, such
spftBUlation appeals to almost everyone and it is pretty
safe pastime because^no one of the present, generation'
wQl ever be able to tell whether or not the prophecies
of today will be fufflled a hundred year* hence.

With of i^ithout the authority of the present German
government the warships have been destroyed with, the
result that a vexatious question has been disposed of. It
will be recalled that the problem as to what to do with
the surrendered fleet has caused a lot of discussion, and
gradually the suggestion that it was to be sunk seemed
to gain popularity in spite of the waste of useful mate
riat such a procedure would involve. Now the Germans
themselves have been considerate enough to spare the
Allies of the expense and trouble of doing anything fur
ther in the inatter, but it is'very likely tfcat«. searching
inquiry will be conduoted, for the obvious question is'
How could a thing like this happen with the. British navy
standing guard? True enough, the armistice terms pre
cluded the necessity of manning the German, ships with
Allfed cfews, but it Was to be reasonably supposed that
some effeotive supervision would be exercised.
IIUIMII|llllllllljlllll|l Ill
The. Amsterdam authorities say that they do'not
think it feasible to drive BolaheVtam out of, the country
by ^rholesale executions or lone penitentiary terms they -^o.1
have discovered a far better method, thef claim,
every offender of this ty^je who is convicted is regul
the forests and on the dykes. The Dutchmen
have discovered the seeret of Bolshevism—the Innajte,
laxinees which is a characteristic of all shortsighted
"revolutionists," and It is feft that a dose of really hard
work is about the most efficacious cure Jhat can be ap-«
plied.
It is very likely tljat Holland has discovered the
panacea for Bolshevism, for we are further told that
after making offenders work hard for. a long period the
Hollanders send them out of their country threatening/
them with much harder work should they ever return!
A QUESTION DISPOSED OF
One knows hardly whether to smile or' to be' sorry
at the display of useless "heroism" made by the German
naval officers who sent 'the ^warships surrendered under
the armistice terms to the bottom of the sea at Scapa
Flow the similar sinking of unsurrendered vessels still
in German ports may have, been Spectacular but coulV
serve no purpose.
It may be that the Germans had -the example of the
Russiang who burned Moscow when Napoleon approach
ed, in mind, and that they thought it great and heroic
to annoy their conquerors by destroying their battleships
and other vessels-and by letting them submerge with the
German colors flying high. No one knows the^exact mo
tive, but it may be permissible to suppose^ that the ele
ment of perverted pride enters here.
Incidentalljuwe learn that Admiral von {Reuter still
asknowledges his obedience to the former emperor of
Germany who had given an ojfder to the effect that a
vessel flyiiijg the imperial standard was never to surrenV
der the admiral to quoted as saying enqugh to make it
clear that he continued to .feel himself bound by the com-i
mands of his former master^
ident that somebody blundered, and quite certaitt that
punishment for neglect will follow.
Oddly enough, the best characterization of the
wholesale destruction of the warships comes from a Ger
man newspaper, the Neues Zeltung, which aptly remarks:
"The officers and men wlio performed this deed may
be forgiven. They acted in the spirit in which they were
trainee^ On the other hand, if their action carries with
it injurious results for Germany, it must be regretted, for
Germaigr is hardly in a position to indulge in the' luxury
of heroic poses, and tbe brief satisfaction of appearing
before the world in this Bengall^n illumination may have
to be paid for in cash."
THE BAP, BAD WESTERNERS
U'hen^William S. Devery, known as "the be|t chief
of police New York ever had," died last week, some-of
Ills characteristically Gothamese comments were recalled
in an effort to emphasise the picturesque side of this
former official who on numerous, occasions had been
more or less favorably involved in political scandals of
et(ery known variety.
One of his remarks, often uttered, we understand,
was that* he nad been the subject of more journalistic
villlficatlon than any other, man under the sun: "I won
der if any man {ias ever been soaked as hard as I," 'he
used to say, and then added in his racy language:
''Of all the dg&ned liars I ever knew these western
newspapermen are the best. They roast a man harder
the less tl«y krfow him. But I ain't sore at them."
With tRis grandiloquent comment the Big Chief diS'
missed the subject without apparently caring very much
for the general truth or untruth of his words. As a plain
matter of' fact, there is no real differS^ce^between the
eastern and western newspapermen. They do not lie,
for attempts in that direction would mean disgrace and
dismissal in any .decent newspaper office. But Dowry's
remarks are interesting because they are ^typical of the
attitude of a large part of the reading public who main
tains an attitude of doubt toward'everything that appears
In the press.
"Western newspapeipten" or those in the east itave
as elevated professional Ideals as men who are engaged in
doing other kinds of work. /Their sensitiveness in regard
to truth may bo somewhat keener because they are
trained to appraise^the value of ttie written word and be
cause they are deeply conscious of the responsibility with
which their work Is clothed.
If the general public jew to ,wh|t expense and to
what trouble newspapers nowadays go in~thelr'efforts -ti.'
find and verify fact*, we might hear less of the nonsehse
'which Devery's remarks typified. That all newspapermeii
are equally jealous of thei^professional l^onor and pres
tige,'would be too much to" say, hut taken as an average,
they are enthusiastic in their willingness, to give their
readers the facu Without deceptive emb«Uiahmenta. Tkey

Ground at the reality of his night
mare. His stifled lungs pante^ and
rebelled at the vile atmosphere. The
dirty floor was spongy under foot. A
colossal roach was crawling acrottt
the straw bed, waving antennae long
and thick, serrated visibly. The man
remembered ho1# they used td
ocjwi across his face and hlir,
snatching him from long-wooed sleep
into wakefulness in the thick black
darkness. i'
He sat down on the old' three
legged stool, elbows on knee, fingers
in hair. It was for this he had
dragged thirty-six {tours of freedom
from the- grasp of Jacinto Meyer for
this visit, this hour in this place. In
a year, much becomes blurred,, dis
torted.
He missed the voice of The Little

had died comically!
It had been dawn a full h4ur before

dark in the old building, although'.the
light outside was bright.
"The Senhor is satisfied?" the man
ventured, gnawed by curiosity.
Yes," Bruce answered. "Satis

VThe Senhor had perhaps forgotten
something?"
They were at the outer door new,
where a little group ot staring vil
lagers watched the horse a man H4d
brought to the door. Manuel's greedy
palm had been gratified, before he es
sayed the last question. The Ameri

ing thirstily of. the keen morning air.
Then he made an answer that Martuel
knew to be a lie, since the (prisoner
never hefore had brought inter his cell
the thing he named.
"Yes," said Bruce, "I had forgotten
my eyeglasses."
Chattering together, the little group
stood watching the horseman ride out
of the village towards the new rail
road.

It.was strange, how the fighting

Jacinto Meyer triumphed over him
and counted him out. Now, riding
among the hills on the new railroad

of the many actions he might haye
taken jwhile was still at home.
Meyer had said his. people would
not allow the other man to reach the
capital. Bruce believed that yet he
might hafve. smuggled a message to
the governor, telling him of Meyer's
threat and so forestalling *him. He
might attempt that still! He might-—
and this thought occurred to., him
when the railroad had carried* him
many miles, from ORio Nabupo—he
might have concealed himself7 frohv
.Meyer, perhaps in the prison itself,
after leaving a note for Granados
withx the doctor, to be delivered when,
the patient regained consciousness.
Such a note written before, this eve
ning .might save him. If he cbuld
succeed in any one
op
these schemes,
he might defy Meyer, after all! For
ven thought they put him in AiO
Nabuco thtn, later Noel' or some of
his friends would rescue the prisoner.
of
Under the ^stimulus'
iipa
v'4\t
these
thoughts, Bruce burned for action.
He found the railroad unendurablj'
slow. If on]y he had thought: or
these measures before leaving the
villa before' Meyer came that .night.
He had lingered top' long at the
prison. Moreover, the railroad did
not run within ten'miles of Rio Na
buco,'or within flve^f tile yllU.' He
had to ride: He saw night overt&ki
ing hftn as a rider overtakes a 'man On
foot.
It was eight o'clock in the evening
when his exhausted horse stumbled
to a halt'before the Casa Noel. C#v*

To selflsh strife-anil bitter^ hate
And when the eveoipg settles dowil
Let's leg.ve our wqrrles in the town..
Let's keep our )ibme secure from

And drooping lips and-angry eyes
And cruel wofds let us be fair
To thom~ who w^it to greet us there,
For soon enough the grief will come
To chill the heart and leave It numb.
Let's keep our home in Laughterland,
Unmarred by any vandal hand.
Let up go forth from day to day
To strive for fortune, as'we may.
Sustained by this triumphant thought
That when at night the flght is fought
And .all the petty bickerings ceaie
We shall return to restful peace^
That 'spite of all, our home remains
^haunt where gentle laughter reigns.
