an end or the com lab at l
ilelegaties to shut their portmanteaux .as well as their
mouths, and return home. "Siiii the peace .treatv, close
the Hall of Mirrors, and let
peace asrain."
This is the popular feeling on both sides of the At
lantic, and it there is not a
diplomatic pow-wow at Versailles, this feeling will be
expressed in no uncertain terms.
But if the Lodge-Knox' dissenters have their vvn'v, not
onlv will there be no immediate cessation of hostilities at
Paris, but the tiresome process will continue until the

America insists upon changes then England and France
will do the same, so will China, Liberia and the Iliki Suki

No treaty could be framed that would satisfy every
one. Probably no treaty could be framed which would
entirely satisfy anyone. But as long as the treaty con
tains a world organization, like tho League of Nations, de
signed to promote peace, fair dealing and international
justice, the danger in accepting such a peace, is far less
than the danger of accepting a doubtful improvement
later on. '
. For through that world .organization any imperfec
tions of the treaty can be removed, any unjust provisions
can be modified, any oppressive measures can bo extir
pated. The important thing is not the precise provisions
of the League of Nations, but the fact that such a league
exists.
For in the last analysis law is merely a medium for the
effective expression of public opinion. No matter how
skillfully a law may be framed, if it fails to represent pub
lic opinion, it is merely a scrap of paper. No matter how
clumsily another law may be, framed, if it does represent
public opinion, its technical imperfections are no obsta
cle to its successful enforcement. .
' The masses of the world are weary of peace talk and
they are weaiy of war. "World opinion therefore will be
solidly behind any definite proposal desijnied to bring
peace and discourage, if not
sickening business of war.
-With world opinion so disposed, no treaty finally sign
ed, containing the balance wheel of subsequent world re
adjustment, can completely,
and high browed diplomats can wail until blue m the face,
but their dire forebodings will be merely chaff in the hur
ricane of public opinion.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
OF OCCUPATION' June 11. Ger
man military experts are publishins
in German periodicals various sug
gestions for tfiC'torganizntion of a
new German armv. '
One plan is proposed bv Major
Genenral von Francois who com
manded a corps in the Arconne op
posite the United States armv last
fall. His ideas have been republished
in numerous German newspapers and
masazines.
He proposes that 500,000 men
should be drafted to service under
arms each vear. one-half on -Aon! 1.
and the other. 250.000 on October 1.
Every man capable of perfonnine
manual labor would be subject to
military lutv for one vear beginning
at his 20th vear.
The 500,000 annually drafted would
be used to defend the country from
attack and preserve order in the in
terior, he urges. All other capable
of working would be drafted also
on April 1 or October 1, but after
receiving a short course in military
training, thev would be placed in la
bor batallions to be employed in so
cialized branches of industry which
have been taken over bv the govern
ment. These men would Ihus be en
gaged in productive activity which
would nav for their own support and
contribute to that : of the armed
forces.
General von Francois advocates an
armv drawn tin along the lines of the
old model, saving:
"In the training and development
of the men democratic innovation
.should he avoided, and the old mili
tary principles slionl.i be maintained.
One object should be the establish
ment of the highest possible standard
of discipline. The authority of the
officers as a cluss must be restored.
This means of enforcing discipline
must also be reestablished bv rcviv
ing the mililarv regulations, the court
martial system, and the obligation to
salute. The civil penal code is not
well adapted for use in the nrmv. Ac
tivities of the general staff and of
the war department must not he cur

MAKES WAY WITH
A
PARIS, May 13 (Correspondence
of Associated Press.) Lahdru, called
by some French newspapers the
"Bluebeard of Gambais," might take
rank among the most celebrated of
French criminals, if only a few of tho
suspicions against him were estab
lished. He was arrested a few weeks
ago. "'," . ,; J'- .
The disappearance of a round
dozen of his "flnancees" is alleged.
He Is suspected in more than a hun
dred other cases by husbands whose
spouses have deserted their firesides
or by families that have lost track of
relatives. The police consider most
of the hundred additional cases as
instances of disappearance that are
common In Paris. A few-dt them
present features similar to those of
the dozen fiancees and detectives are
investigating them.
More than 3000 women have been
lost to sight in Paris during the war.
This number is, not regarded as
extraordinary considering that such
disappearances are common in Paris
in normal times and that they have
been particularly favored by condi
tions that have prevailed since the
mobilization in 1914. A great many
families have been broken up or scat
tered. Soldiers returning from long ab
sences sometimes have found their
homes deserted and in several cases
havo discovered that their wives, be
lieving them dead, had married again
In good faith. In cases of deliberate
desertion the unfaithful have, natur
ally, omitted to' glvo their new ad
dresses. British U-Boat Is Lost.
