WILL BE LARGE GERMAN IMMIGRATION "If the United States and Great Britain, not to mention France, are not to be somewhat alienated from' each other in the next generation through the mere shifting of popula tions from one country to another, they cannot reach a per manent understanding based on an unshakable foundation of good will a momenttoo soon." The above, quoted words are from an editorial in the Springfield Republican And the conclusion is based on the large German immi gration, to say nothing of the large Irish immigration, that will soon set in, to the ports of the United States. Under the new immigration act, 68,000 Germans may come to the United States each year; the number being based upon the number of Germans already here the same rule applying, as most readers know, to other nationals, like the Italians, Spaniards, etc. Immigration, authorities believe . that there will be a large movementffom "Germany to this country because the proclamation of peace and establishing of American consular offices in Germany will make the movement possible They believalha limit will be reached, which would mean 680,000 Germans coming to the United States in the next ten years,-irtjpase thejresent immigration law should be 1 A ? - A 1 A 1 jsepi OT iorce inai long. piis would powerfully reinforce the Germanic element in our population, and in our foreign relations it would nat urallV promote anti-British and anti-French views, for no immigration front France to counteract it can be looked for, while from the United Kingdom the- Irish immigrants will probably retain their numerical preponderance. Hence the quoted paragraph opening this article. However, world conditions have changed and are chang ing, and the .people who go away from Germany in the fu ture will not be fed by the propaganda of imperialism, and they and their children and children s children will soon for get the animosities that were kept alive under the rule of the kaisers. ...... The railroad chiefs found they wer falling a strike against the government of the United States, and they saw that! It was foredoomed to failure; o,they'wisely called it off. Theyfound also that the people or the United. States as a whole were not sympathetic with their, threatened' strike that would have tied up many industries and put the whole business life of the country out of joiiStM&t least tempor arily.! It is to be hoped that there win not be another gen eral railroad strike threatened iri.thU country, for the mere possibilities of it slowed up business in a million ways. The whole, country, will feel easier this morning; the railroad men themselves among ,the rest. n Motto to be hung in the confer ence Voom of the disarmament confab: "It must not be again." 1 Seventy old forts are to be sold by the war department fro you -want an old fort in your home?

On Sunday morning the Times printed a translation; of the fare well4 address delivered by Presi dent Obregon of Mexico to the official representatives sent by their respective governments to sttend the recent centenary ex position In the Mexican capital The exposition was a great sue cess. It was- Informing as wel Clean-Up Special On ...MILLINERY Everything in Ladies' Hats Goes This Week At l2 Price t tended. Nearly 400,000 visitors came from outside Mexico; and a sterling testimonial to the com plete Restoration of (order and repression of banditry under the Obregon regime is found in the fact that no murder was commit ted in the capital during the ex position and 210 visitor was rob bed of either his purse or bag gage. That Is a record for the protection of life and property which no American exposition has equaled. Those who continue to protest against the recognition of the present Mexican government must henceforth base their objection on some other contention than that a condition of lawlessness still exists south of the Rio Grande. There are fewer crimes of violence in the City of Mexico at the present time than n any city of its approximate population in our own country. Police records show that more murders and thefts are commit ted in Los Angeles, with its 700,- 000 population, than in Mexico City, with its population of 900,- 000. But the chief interest in Pres ident Obregon's message centers about his expression of the pres ent beliefs and aspirations of the Mexican people. Viewed in the light of its turbulent history dur ing the ten-year period immedi ately preceding the Obregon ad ministration one is moved to ex claim, "Can this be Mexico?" We believe," said President Obregon, "that morality, con structive and generous intelli gence and culture are the forces destined to govern , the world, in ouf modern life; that the coun tries which build cannon ef the greatest range are not the ones who will make the greatest con quests, but those who present to humanity thinkers whose genius will allow them to look into the future and point out the catas trophes that may arise from lack of forethought and selfishness." Upon what j more secure foun dation can any government build? The words are those of a states man, not of a demagogue or of a hardy bandit whom a trick of fortune has elevated to tempor ary power.! If this is indeed the spirit in which the Mexican peo ple are facing the future the era of violence and pillage is defi nitely ended. We believe," continued Pre Ident Obregon, "that the .whole of j bumany -i will, r se , to a news life I chastened by the bitterest of experiences,, by the experience of the ' late' European hecatomb. wherein It' was shown that brute force toust ' faiL" Great is the advance which has seemingly been made during the 18 months that have elapsed since the overthrow of Carranxa. Mexico has apparently found herself without our knowing. Such a redemption may appear to a few to be too sudden to be sincere or . permanent; but we muBt remember that the Mexican people were learning during the whole of those ten years in the bitter school of experience. The swift and almost bloodless vic tory of Obregon pver Carranxa is here explained. The Mexican people were already almost a unit in their desire for better things and 1 only waited an able and .courageous leader. ' I ''Men have become convinced," saidPl .President Obregon. ''that cultural, industrial and cultural progress. She Is apparently about to become a worthy contender for honors in economic and intellect ual achievement. No portion of our own country of equal extent is richer in na tural resources. Mexico is a land of opportunity; but it remains with her own people to decide what use they shall make of their natural advantages. As Presi dent Obregon sets forth in his address, there is a vast work of people are being pursued by wild eyed maniacs mounted on motor cycles or being run over by fren zied motorists with a passion for speed. Before this thing ends, Tom will be demanding an am endment to the constitution for bidding the intemperate use of wheels on the highways of the nation. ing conditions are cheaper I some sections than in others. in LOVE WILL HXD A WAY One of our esteemed lady as- lad forced to mingle with them, .instance, to make wage scales re- The Chinese like to play fan-tan 1 gitmai instead of general for liv and the lottery, but they j always pay their debts, never steal and they teach their offspring to re spect the law and to be courte ous and considerate to their sen iors.

The children of today must be schooled in order that they may be fitted for self-government when they attain their majority. During the interim progress will be slow; but, if the leaders of the Mexican people continjie to possess the high Ideals and the vision of President Obregon, it will be certain. If the practices of the Mexi can government are in accordance with the precepts of her president it is evident that recognition can not be long delayed. An agree ment can be and should be ar rived at which will give to Mex ico the official recognition by our government which President Obregon desires and which is es sential to early reconstruction. But it must be an agreement which will safeguard, as far as possible, without interfering with the sov ereign right of the Mexican peo ple to regulate their own domes tic affairs, the rights of Ameri can citizens residing or possess ing property in Mexico. If we are true to our traditions we will lend Mexico an early helping hand. OUIt ARMY OX THE RHINE a man proposing marriage to a girl over a steam radiator? She declares that the cutting out of the big open fireplace in the mod ern home has reduced Hymen's chances 1000 per cent. She says, next to a moonlight night, an open fireplace is the greatest known inspiration to love and matrimony. Set a man and a maid before a blazing hearth arid the business of love-making will be speeded up wonderfully. Hut the lady jurist need not worry. Polks are still marrying in the steam radiator belt. The radi ator is not particularly chummy or hospitable in appearance, yet young people may grow quite sus ceptible to the tender passion within its amiable environment. Stenographers in the office build ings in northern cities might be able to furnish some information on that score. The marriage ratio is very high in this class. Wheth er Adam had, an open fireplace, a steam radiator or a moonlight night, the love-making want on just the same. rations or food supplies; In the event of a general railway strike.

TOD A Y TOMORROW. SSSESf 1 f V JJ 1 1 ,4 CUTTING WAR COSTS Secretary Weeks risks nothing kin saying that the American troops will probably remain on the Rhine for "some time." Sen ator Johnson has trapped him self if he assumes that General Allen's forces will be brought home after the peace proclama tion has been issued. The Ber lin treaty wbich Senator Johnson voted for provides thet the rights stipulated under part 14 of the Versailles treaty shall be enjoyed by the United States. Part 1 opens by saying that "as a guar antee for 'the execution" of the Versailles treaty the Rhin terri tory of Germany will be occupied by the allied 'and associated pow ers for 15 years So President Harding will now be within this country's treaty rights In keeping American troops at Coblenz for at least 15 years in order to aid by military force in executing another treaty which the United States has refused ta ratify. The senate, in brief, has ratified one treaty which pro vides for American participation in the military enforcement of another treaty for which no pow er on earth could gain the sen ate's approval. No more curious mix-up can be found in the entire history of America's treaty relations with the rest of the world. The only remaining question worth discussing is whether the cost of the maintenance of the United States army on the Rhine I should continue to be charged up Outing Flannel Toilet Paper Many are taking advan tage of this chance to get .

But ; it goes further, de manding that those elected to office sVosld; scrupulously 'com ply with all the dictates of moral--Ity." ,'In this country, especially in the governments of some of our states, the practice has not al ways been equal to the precepts.

A BIT OF CHINA The strike is off. S S The country will feel easier.

That would be a good place for it. S S General strikes, and even threats of general strikes, ought to be made impossible! in this Country. The people have been fed up on strikes ot-ajl kinds. Every industry ought to fte made strike proof, to the highest pos sible degrep for the good of both employers and employes, and also the public. In nearly every strike all three Of these classes are affected injuriously. S S The United States railroad la bor board will have more respect from all sides than it has enjoyed before. That will be a good thing all around, for it needs! the sup port of all sides, and it also needs some new rules, such as; one, for 9 V ! 1 "Sr-w.
