They have not been asked. It will be time enough when the allied powers have completed their work and agreed on everything among themselves. Then -Germany, Bui garia and such remnants as are left of Austria-Hungary and Turkey will be invited to Paris and told to sign on the dotted line. They will object to nearly everything on general principles, and obtain what slight concessions they may. and then sign as requested. Meanwhile it Is of some interest to learn that the Oerman delegation that will leave Berlin when the in Titation comes is to be headed by Philip Scneidemann. He is one of the leaders of the dominant "Major ity Socialist" party, formerly the so "cial democrats. He can speak for the comparatively conservative ele ment now in charge, of German af fairs, and Is probably as good a man for the job as any non-German has a right to ekpect. ' ' He is infinitely preferable, at any rate, to the man whom .Berlin orig inally intended to send Bernstorff, the lying trickster kicked out of Washington by the United States government Some hope for Ger many may be found in the fact that the Germans did finally allow them selves to be persuaded that Bern etorff would not do. It would be tar better for Ger many, however, if they had had the decency or the shrewdness to ap point Prince LUbnowsky, who was German ambassador at London be fore the war, who did all he could to' prevent war, and who when he discovered the criminal . Prussian war plot revealed it to the world. He could get favorable terms of the al lies if anybody conld. As for Scbeldemann, he lent him self too. obediently to the kaiser's purposes during the war to hare much credit now as a spokesman for democracy. Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, com menting on the pleasing progress made by the peace conference, says: ''I wish the senate of the United States could act with the same pre cision and the same directness as that polyglot assemblage over at Versailles. . They speak many lang uages and make much progress. The senate speaks but one language, and proceeds slowly." A New York Judge rules that wives may .pick . their husbands' pockets. - That night his wife; took all his change, and when he object ed showed him the paper in which his decision was published. Justice, blind as usual, - :" Mexico ,ia not enthusiastic about selling Lower California or any of her border land to the V,. S. A., nor granting any leases to American I i capital. She prefers to operate the ! ' saloons herself. Saya a friend of Pebbleford: Can dairy churn or soda-water bust Back to the brewery call the fleet ing hop? Can Billy Sunday preach away the dust.
