Protect Your Feet and Legs With
Sturdy Comfortable Rubber Boots
When you’re afloat in all sorts of weather, it’s
sound sense to give your feet and legs the best
protection possible.
LT. S. “Protected” rubber boots provide exactly
They keep your feet and legs warm, dry
and comfortable under the hardest conditions.
They’re specially designed for heavy service aboard
ship or on dock.
Fishermen need these rugged, double-duty
rubber boots, just like the boys did in the navy.
The Government probably used more U. S.
“Protected” rubber boots during the war than of
all other makes combined.
There’s economy as well as reliability in U. S.
Protected” rubber boots. Reinforced where the
wear is greatest, they stand the gaff of bard usage.
Longer wear means money saved.
Your dealer has exactly the kind of “U. S.”
you want, or can get it quickly. Remember,
every pair bears the “U. S.
Seal” — trade mark of the
largest ru bber man ufacturer in
the world. Look for this seal.
It means protection for your
feet, health and pocketbook.

Do you remember the down-trod­
den citizen the Democratic orators
and editors used to picture as having
been born in a cradle, taxed at 3 5
per cent, and finally, after paying
tribute to the infamous protective
tariff all his life, finished up in a
coffin taxed 42 percent? What’s be­
come of him?. We heard of him again
the other day. He was just buying
some bacon, up 170 per cent since
infamous Payne-Aldrich tariff
was repealed, and some eggs, up
per cent, Borne oranges, up 200
cent, and some lard, up 140 per
cent, with some sugar up 110 per I
cent, and some butter up 190 per
cent. As luxuries he bought some
cigars, up 60 per cent and some
candy up 40 per cent. He had been
thinking of taking a trip, but decid­
ed to stay at home when he looked
up the railway fare, up 50 per cent,
«nd the sleeping car rates up 75 per
Cent. He decided, instead, to write a
letter, postage up 50 per cent, and
ship the stuff he bad intended to car­
ry with him by express, until he
found the rates increased 37 per
cent. He asked at the drug store for
poison, but found it was up 327 per
cent, and on inquiring at the hard­
ware store found that revolvers were
up 62 per cent and rope had Increas­
ed in price 86 per cent. He then
went home and read the Democratic
natlon.il platform of 1912, promising
to reduce the high cost of living by
abolishing the tariff, and demanding
a "return to that simplicity and
economy befitting a Democratic ad­
ministration,” wherup he laughed
himself to death. Even this was not
economy, however, for his wife found
the cost of coffins had gone up 57
per cent, and tombstones 71 per
cent. National Republican.

the fact that the American people
have not been consulted will not be
long kept in mind. Mutual distrust
will be formented, and when mutual
distrust between two peoples is firm­
ly established there is a foundation
for graver trouble. How can any sin­
cere lover of peace fail to see that
dragon's teeth are shown when we
intrude in all sorts of European set­
tlements? The best service to the
world we can give is to suppress the
busybody spirit. A few editors may
regard themselves as sufficiently
versed in world politics to be fit to
decide everything, but let us rejoice
that the great masses of our people
are not iu the grip of a similar con-
ceited vanity, We ask Europe not to
take intimate part in American af-
fairs, and the correlative la that we
should similarly keep at home.
At present the good motives of
America are not questioned, but if
we acquire the habit of intruding
the good repute will not endure. Sus­
picion will find material on which to
feed, and even well intentioned acts
will be deemed born of selfishness or
some other unworthy purpose. This
is a way of the world that will not
be changed overnight, and because of
it this country may well follow its
traditional policy, a policy which, on
the whole, has borne good fruit.
(From the New York Tribune)
The Fiume episod illustrates the
difficulties this country is likely to
encounter if it adopts the policy of
intruding into Ihe highly complicat­
ed affairs of Europe.
Six months ago the majority of
Americans had never heard of Flume
and those who had heard of it few
felt competent to decide what flag
should float over it. Suddenly, with
little background of Information or
better knowledge than Is furnished
by rival pamphleteers, it is asked of
us to say where Flume shout’d go.
Our president in the role of univer­
sal arbitor, gives an offhand decision
which has given grave offence to a
friendly nation which thinks h* is
wrong. And the confused American
citlxen ir told that high principles
are involved, and that it Is his moral
duty to support a conclusion pre-
sented to him.
Not only is the average American
little iuformed as to Fiume and the
rights and wrongs of the Fiume
question, but no American interests
is affected. Whether the disputed
city goes to Italy or whether to Jugo­
slavia touches no American concern.
No matter what flag is up, it will be
practically the same to us. Our goods

:
Why Italy Claim* Fiume.
------- o-------
President Wilson is responsible
for Italy’s claim upon Fiume. That 1 b
the mast striking feature of this
whole Adriatic embroilment. If it
had not been for him and his insist­
ent urging«, Italy might never have
askeu for that port, but might gen-
I erously have conceded it to the Jugo-
,-luvs. Indeed, wt are credibly in­
formed that she
meant to do so,
when the President intervened with
what was in effect not merely a sug­
gestion but an imperative demand
for the cession of Fiunie to Italy.
And now when Italy seeks to act ac-
cording to his mandate, he demurs
and declares that she must not do it!
Here are the facts, categorically
I
stated:
Great Britian, France and Russia
on September 5, 1914, entered into
the Pact of London—not a secret
treaty—enjoining the signaturies to
make no separate peace. Italy on
conflict
May 23, 1915, entered the
I
by declaring war against Austria-
Hungary, and thereupou signified
her adherence to the same Pact of
London. In the agreement there was
no reterence whatever to Fiume or to
any readjustment of boundaries.
Meanwhile, however, there is said
to have been made on April 26, 1915,
a month before Italy’s entrance into
the war, a ‘‘secret treaty” between
Italy and the other three allies. In
that, according to Mr. Trotzky—who
after his treason to the allies at
Brest Litovsk revealed what purport­
ed to bq the contents of all secret
treaties of which the Russian Gov-
eminent had knowledge —it was
agreed that the whole coast of Croat­
ia, including Fiume, Nevi, and Carlo-
pago, together with portions of Dal-
liiatia, should be granted not to Italy
but to the Jugo-Slavs. Italy, we are
told, agreed to this notable act of
seli-abuegation, and on the strength
of that "secret treaty” a month later
entered the wur.
Down tc this point, therefore, there
was no thought on Italy’s part of
claiming Fiume, but there is every
reason to suppose that if there hau
been no intervention in those ar­
rangements she would have assented
tv tile cession of Fiunie to the Jugo­
slavs.
But there was intervention. On
January 8, 1918, President Wilson
interfered. He then promulgated
the Fourteen Commandments with
which Mr. Lloyd George had provid­
ed him, and in them he practically
dictated the abrogation of the "sec­
ret treaty” of April 26, 1915, and
ordered that Fiunie should be turned
over to Italy instead of to the Jugo­
slavs.
In the first place he prescribed
"open covenants of peace, openly ar­
rived at;” and though he added that
there should thereafter be no "pri­
vate international understandings”
and did not specifically demand the
abrogation of such understandings
formerly made and then existing, he
has since made it quite clear that he
did contemplate and now insists up­
on such ex post facto application of
the First Commandment. Thus the
President annuled the provisional
cession of Fiunie to the Jugo-Slavs.
Next, in the ninth Commandment,
he prescribed "a readjustment of the
frontiers of Italy along clearly rec­
ognizable lines of nationality.” That
of course meant that Italy should
take Fiume for her own, since there
is no question in the world that
Italian nationality greatly predomi­
nates in that city. A majority of its
and culture are almost purely Italian
and culture are almost purely Itllian.
Finally, in the last two of the
Commandments and in numerous
other utterances the President pre­
scribed "self-determination” as the
fundamental rule upon which dis­
puted territories should be disposed
of. That also obviously meant that
Italy should take Fiunie, since im­
mediately upon the conclusion of the
armistice the people of that city un­
mistakably indicated their desire for
annexation to that country.
That completes the record, save for
the astounding sequel at the Paris
Peace Conference. Italy entered th«
war and fought it for nearly three
years with the purpose and expecta­
tion of giving Fiunie I to the Jugo-
Slavs. Then President Wilson sug-
periled ui.ii praiiicalb uirected that
Italy should take Italy for her own.
At the Peace Congress ; Italy under­
took to fulfill this prescription of
the President's. Thereupon the Pres­
ident repudiated his own Command­
ments and passionately declared that
Italy should not be permitted to do
the very thing which he had suggest­
ed. incited and urged her to do.
There is no more amazing example
of self-reversal, even in the Presi­
dent's strangely inconsistent mid
tergiversatory
career.
