Of these voices which have been

It cannot be disguised that this
agitation has Injured Great Britain
in the eyes of the nations which were
associated with her in the war and
In the peace making for the very
simple reason that in the peace mak-
ing the lion's share of the spoils of
victory fell to the British. This was
due in part to the accidents of the
war ltseit ana in pair or me stem
of the British diplomats at Paris
which far surpassed that of all other
negotiators.
But looking at the British gains
resulting from the common effort
and the common sacrifice the French
might well be pardoned some In-
dignation at seeing an influential
element In Britain momentarily
possessed of the ear of the prime
minister insisting that France should
resign her far more moderate gains
and above all her own security in
the Interests of a new world settle-

this 110.000 000.000 in fact to be de-
ducted from the sum total of Ger-
man payments. No one can mistake
the resentment this proposal excited
wherever In the United States it was
understood.
Now at San Remo a wiser policy
seems to have been adopted. Th e
attempt to save European economic
life by restoring Germany at the ex-
pense of all the nations attacked by
her. save only Britain has been re-
jected. Instead the conference has
adopted the far wiser policy of com-
pelling Germany to give evidence of
a willingness to perform insofar as
she can under the Ver sail lee docu-
ment and leaving to the future the
determination of how far honest ef-
fort to perform discloses the treaty
as unworkable.
Aside from Its effect upon tne na-
tions associated with Great Britain
In the alliance which won the war
the worst feature of the British
agitation was the degree to which
it encouraged the Germans to refuse
to comply with the treaty In any
respects Actually the result of the
attempt to save Germany econ-
omically has been to give aid and
comfort to precisely those elements
in Germany which precipitated the
war gave to the struggle its In-
human character and caused those
devastations and destructions lor
which Germany is now asked to pay.
Want Genua it r Restored.
On the subject of the necessity to
help to restore the economic life of
Germany there Is no nide difference
of opinion anywhere in the vorld.
The French auite as much as the
British would be glad to see Ger-
many going back to normal life with
the same promptitude which France
displayed after 1870. Germany
complying with the terms of the
treaty of Versailles as loyally as the
French complied with those of the
treaty of Frankfort would be for the
French the most pleasing of all possi-
ble prwp.V
But the difficulty has been and
remains that German v has not ac-
cepted the treaty of Versailles. In-
stead from the outset she has
adopted a policy -which varies be-
tween passive resistance and open
defiance. Conceded that there are
portions bf the treaty wheih are un-
enforceable. It Is not less true that
there are portions which the whole
world agrees should be enforced. But
it is precisely these provisions which
the world believes should be applied
that the Germans are most eagerly
seeking to evade particularly the
disarmament clauses
Could Gala Concessions
The mood of the world Is quite dif-
ferent from the prevailing sentiment
of 1918- It is a matter of common
agreement that Germany could ob-
tain from her conquerors very -eal
and very great concessions provided
only she displayed the smallest evi-
dence of any willingness to accept
tne aeeiaion or tne war to anaaoon
her old leaders and her old policies.
But if the world undeniably feels
less bitter toward the German peo-
ple today than it did a year or two
years age it does not feel more
kindly toward the military leaders of
the Junker policy. And precisely
these elements and these policies re-
tain ascendancy in Germany as wit-
nessed by recent events. The republic
remains the willing or the nnwiOInp
prisoner. It hardly matters much
which of the military element.
The British agitation to modify the
treaty has resulted not in any con-
comitant modification of German
spirit but in a rebirth of the old
spirit. The more the Manchester
school has denounced the treaty the
more the Ladendorff have gained In
assurance. Manchester has. In fact
and not for the first time la Its
history played the role which John
Handolpb once described In oar own
politics as the alliance between the
Puritan and the "Black bog" although
In this case it has been the partner-
ship between the pacificist and the
Prussian.
Opposition la England.
Tt is a mistake to associate this
Ma nehester school with British
sentiment as a whole to believe that
the British nation as a unit has em-
braced the selfishness which has
been expressed by Keynes and the
rest of them a selfishness xhtch is
expressed hi the idea that Germany
must be saved if tt takes the last
French franc and no modest portion
of the American dollars remaining
available. On the contrary very
earnest and honest -voices have been
raised In Britain against this policy
and not a few Englishmen have ap-
preciated the peril such a course had
for British reputation In world.
Lloyd George at San Remo has at
last taken note of this British op-
position and has returned to the
logical and inevitable basis of requir-
ing Germany to take the first step
and give the first evidence of good
faith -of a real Intention to perform
within the limits of posslbUlty. If
this policy endures the Anglo-French
entente will survive and Germany
will find economic health. Any other
policy is fore doomed to failure be

Chief deputy sheriff Ed. Bryant
and other members of the sheriff's
department were reminiscing Satur-
day over the horse theft charge
Some of the "old timers' recalled
that not more than 25 years ago this
offence was a crime usually pun-

formality of a trial. To steal a man's
horse in the "old" davs was a crime
that plainsmen considered about the
worst of alLT If the thief were
caught he almost certainly ended up
on the limb of a tree. The reason
for this was- that takmer a man's
