A change has come over the spirit
of the Cermsn rulers. A little while
ago they were painting pictures of
black ruin unless the country be al
lowed to retain an army of 200.000
men. Xow it Is stated that the del
egates to the Spa conference, soon
to assemble, will not Insist on this
number. This may be taken as an
Indication that Rerllners are losing
their fear of the Iiolshevlki. One of
the main arguments which they ad
vanced against reducing their forces
was that, if Germany completed Its
disarmament in accordance with the
terms ofthe peace treaty, it would
fall an easy prey to the Russian Red
armies. The change In opinion.

the Ilolsheviki forces are driving
back the Poles, Is significant. It
bears out the opinion so frequently
expressed that, outside of a com
paratively tew extreme radicals, the
Germans have no sympathy with the
soviet form of social organization.
It also shows that the Germans have
lost the dread that the Lenine-Trot-
zky forces will attack them. A de-1
bcent by the Bolsbevikl on Germany
would be madness. Even the most
impetuous Reds must acknowledge
this. Moreover, -the Russians are j
getting tired of slaughter. They
want to quit fighting and return to
the plow. Trotzky haa long had
plans prepared "for transferring the1
best workers and organizers from
the army to Industry.". He recently
outlined his expectation sin this re

THE SIX9 DP THE CITIES.
; Many people all over this section were surprised yesterday that
The Statesman carried the hews of the nomination of Cox by the
Democrats at San Francisco, while that news was absent from all
other morning papers; more especially the Portland papers. This
was due to the fact that The Statesman continues to receive Asso
ciated Press dispatches for two or three hours after th priitmn

where "multitudes of young men and
women are being swept away to
eternal destruction.
: Doubtless all that Dr. Straton has
to say about the sins of the cities is
true, although -his assertion that
they are "witnessing the wildest
wave of immorality in the history
ot the world" has been applied to
many eras of history by other Dr.
Stratons in the past.
But the implication that the sins
of the cities exceed the sins ot the
countryside is open to question. The
lack of amusements and interests in
the remote villages does not make
for sequestered virtue, and the quiet
country towns seem more rife with
scandals and Immorality, according
to the size of their population, than
many; a big city. Human nature is
much the same whether in the coun
try or the city, and the many vivid
Interests and opportunities of the

energy can be directed into more

may well offset the (undesirable
forms of entertainment and amuse

in deploring the hectic modern taste
for sensational "Jazt," and' yet ad

Paul Pereira, famous Portuguese violinist director and comDoeer. assisted by his string quintet, will make

FORTY -MILLION LIVES.
The Society for the Study of the
Social Consequences of the War, a
Copenhagen organization, reports
that forty million persons have been
lost to the world through the war.
Its figures are based upon actual
losses in the several countries en
gaged, upon the decline in the birth
rate and the rise In the death rate
since 1914. ,
The carefully compiled statistics
are most impressive and are doubt
less based upon authoritative data.
Russia stands highest with 13.000,
000 loss of population, and Germany
nest with 6.300,000. which figures.
the report states, would be added
to their population to date bad the
war not taken njaee.
The 'war casualties amount to ,
839,000 the vast majority young
men well under 40. The increase in
the normal death rate outside of
actual war deaths is 15,130.000. and
the decrease in the birth rate 30.-
210.000. And these figures do not
include the United States, the British
Dominions, Turkey, Greece, Portu-
gal and Montenegro.
When one considers this appall-
lng total, and adds to it the cost In
money,' Jn destruction of property
and in abiding sorrow and calamity.
it seems Incredible that any voice
should be raised against a League
of Nations to prevent future wars.
