Senator Thomas said: "He asked the
witness upon the stand, who was wearing
a wrist watch, whether lie belonged to the
army. The reply was that he did not. The
judge then ordered him to take the watch
from his wrist, saying that no man should
be permitted to wear a wrist watch who
did not belong to the army or navy.
"I think a member of the bench guilty
of infinitesimal contemptible despotism

who would so conduct hiuiscif betrays by
such conduct his utter unfitness for that

Senator Lewis of Illinois came to Judge
Landis' defense. He expressed the belief
that .ludge Landis was joking. "I cannot
conceive for a moment that he really meant
seriously to reprove the witness," said
Senator Lewis.
"It may have been an exhibition of judi-
cial humor." said Senator Thomas, "but
it Is the kind of an incident that does
not arouse my sense of humor at all. I
hope for the sake of the Judiciary that
this is unfounded or that It Is a clumsy

Senator Keuyon of lowa took up Judge

of patriotism is illustrated by his boy, who

tional Assembly was devoted to party
cus#*s and discussion of various
It has eighty-eight delegates and It. Is ex
. pe. tod that the four (Juelphs will Join the
Center on all Important questions.
It is becoming apparent that one of the
main contests in the assembly will be be-
, tweeu the advocate* <>f a republic with all
.state divisions eliminated and the advo-
cates of a federal republic in which sep-
arate states shall continue to exist with
the well defined states' rights
The former conservatives and National
Liberals, nil of whom favor a federal re-
public, are opposed to any division of
Prussia, whereas a considerable part of
the Centerist party intends to fight for
" 'lie creation of a "west German state"
formed from the Catholic territories of
Western Prussia.
It appears unlikely, however, that there
I* any considerable sentiment left within
the Centerist party for the creation by it
of an autonomous independent republic.
The most uncertain fa-tor is the Ger-
man Democratic party. The left wing of
the Democrats is almost red, but on the
other side are many delegates recruited
from the Ki< hthofen wing of the National
Liberals. Shortly before the elections to
the National Assembly some leiuiers of this
party made an attempt to disavow the
attempts of Hugo; Preuss. the Prussian
Minister of the Interior, who drew up the
draft of a constitution which will be sub
mitted to the assembly.
This draft would permit the division of
Prussia Into smaller states, and some of
the Democratic leaders declared that they
disapproved of the idea, and that (iuelphs,
if ele. ted, "probably would refuse to ac-
cept the mandate."
Not only has Minister Preuss accepted ■
the bill, but. said to "wander through its
pages is a journey through the chamber
of financial horrors, and I hope Ave may
never see its like again."
Estimates on the amount the bill is ex-
pected to raise, as already made public are
$0,077,200,000 in loifl and approxlnnrtely
four billions in 19U0.
The report will now be laid before the
Senate, and is expected to be taken up
there eariy next week.
the mandate, but an effort has been made
to show that the real leaders of the party
were not responsible for the announce-
ment.
There is much sentiment, in the ranks of
the Democrats for the abolition of state
lines, but there are also, as shown by
the Preuss Incident, many who advocate
their retention.
The majority Socialists favor a republic
with no state divisions, but it remains to
be seen whether Bavaria, in particular, will
consent to give up any or all of the spe-
cial rights which it enjoyed in the old
empire.
Herr Pfelffer, In discussing the future of
the Socialists from the standpoint of u
Centerist leader, said:
"The appointments for provisional presi-
dent and chancellor will be only for a
lew months to span the interval until a
general election, and it is considered that
the bourgeoisie delegates may consider it
wise to give the Socialists enough rope
to hang themsleves by demonstrating
still further their incapacity to go^»
ern."

under Wilson's veto. He will have none of
them because he wants the conference to
legislate, not for particular national In
t. rests, hut for the interests of the world
as a whole, including the enemy part of
it. Onlv if the problems of peace are
dealt with iu this spirit, he thinks, can the
league of nations be formed and war
driven from the earth forever.
So, in this lofty, almost superhuman
vein, the American delegatee deal with the
problems that arise, and from the riches
of their countrymen allocate food here and
money there and perhaps tomorrow—who
knows?—troops to the other place, all iu
the interest, not of America individually,
but'of the new world that is to be.
But there Is one fly in the ointment, for
in the back of every delegate's mind here
from every country, perhaps in the back of
the President's head, is the query ' >N 111
the American people support nil this when
they come to understand It".' Will they not
feel that the breaking down of econoinie
barriers is inevitable in such a scheme,
despite the President's soothing words,
and that American industry will take its
place, and American labor, too. not. ahead
of the rest of the world, but on an exact
equality".' And will not Congress, the
Supreme Court, hold that no power has the
right to pledge the American people to
light at the behest of an International
tribunal, and if this is so can America
expect the rest of the world to come into
a league none of whose duties she can
herself promise to perforin V"
When 1 wrote the above 1 did not under-
stand what the American delegates were
driving at. I had in mind these questions:
The President's general principles, his
ideals, his internationalism, are crystal
clear to the world, but what is not. clear
is how he proposes to bring America into
line with him. One sober Englishman.,
shaking his head over these problems, told
me: "1 cannot understand your Presi-
dent, but 1 think I am beginning to .sus-
pect that, since he knows your people will
not back up a real community of power,
he is planning for something bigger than
the American Presidency, lie was wor-
shiped in Italy as the god of peace; they
burned four candles before his picture in
the churches where only two twinkled be-
fore the Images of the holiest saints. Ii is
not possible that Wilson wants to be ruler
of the world, through the unanimous choice
of him by all nations, excepting possibly
his own. as chairman of the executive of
the league of nations. If this is his game,
he is playing it like a master, and he may
be able in five years to control the situa-
tion in spite of the hanging hack of the
country he is supposed to represent—the
United States."
And then my companion added, half
laughing and half in earnest: "It would be
rather odd If some day Woodrow Wilson,
from hlR world White House at. The
Hague, had to call the league of nations'
disciplinary powers to coerce those reac-
tionary nations of the West and East, the
United States and Japan."
To stop Joking and become serious aga'.n,
how France and England and Italy rind
the res. tale Wilson's program, in the last
analysis, will probably depend on whether
thev* think the American people will back
up at once and with all their resources the
countries that must bear the brunt of any
future aggression. The French point ol
view, as opposed to the American. Is dm
to her proximity to Germany. Theories
are very well, France thinks, when you live
three thousand miles across the sea. France
wauts security with a big S. and it will
fake a lot or argument to persuade her
that Security, In the case of Germany, does
not mean coal and iron and buffer states
and river frontiers rather than scraps of
paper.

every doctor 1 had lived near but never
received any relief—only for a little while
I was told of your wonderful medicine, but
I had tried so many things I did not try
it for awhile, just afraid that it would not
do any good. But I decided to try it and
1 hadn't used one half of one botlte until
j I felt a great deal better. By the time
the bottle was gone I could sleep all night,
i I was so proud of what It had done that
; I got another bottle, and I can truthfully
, say that i am sound and weel.
After what It has done for me Mr. Hol-

of smaller nations Is an appealing prin-
ciple, but some French thinkers urge that
it really means, in the last analysis, re-
action. Elasticity in international fron-
tiers, as now demonstrated to a somewhat
disturbing extent ull over Kurope in the
breaking aw»\y «»f new nations and the *i 1 -
teratlon of oid boundaries, will be mad'-
difficult or iuiriosisblo under the new world
order. That is. it will practically become
impossible for a new nation to arise in
future at the rust of the nations already
sanctioned, delimitated, safeguarded and
represented in the league. The league will
thus, In some measure, have a soniewh it
reactionary force, though that, might not
be of a nature more serious than the ron-
servatlsm created and enforced by the Con
stltutiou of the I'nlted States. In this con
nectlon it is observed that the phrase
••democratic constitution*' Is a wide term,
and it. is not unthinkable that some of the
more advanced spirits may inquire whether
the President of the I'nlted States of Amer-
ica has not at this moment power so large
as to be somewTiat inconsistent with the
principles of pure democracy.
The second point that awakes comment
in Purls is that in almost every scheme ad
vanecd I'm* ,i league of Nations the nut ure
of the duties and limitations of a high
court and «>f a parliament respectively -ire
differently stated, and that a much clearer ,
statement than has yet bMB put forward !
should be published as to the relative scope
and importance of the judicial and legis-
lative functions of this council of the world.
Publicity on this phase, skeptics say. would
kill the league of nations iu h week.
Thirdly, it Is seen quite clearly that Sen-
ator Lodge put his finger upon a very
serious point when he Inquired, with a
touch of sarcasm, whether the out-num
bered white races would accept the dicta
tion of the colored races of Asia again.<t
their own judgment; or whether if. on the
other hand, population played no part n
the determining voice of the league, tic-
great nowers of the world would allow
themselves to be out-voted by the iuan>
voices of small and comparatively inslg
nifi- ant races. In order words, the pro
po.sals for a league of nations, It Is felt,
must boldly face the question of the sov-
ereignty of each Individual state. Vet. if
this be interfered with, it is difficult to
see how the peace congress can effectively
secure the independence promised to an I
now vehemently claimed by the smaller
races.
Fourthly, there Is a general feeling In
Franco that the near embodiment of the
highest common factor of all existing civ-
ilization in a world treaty would result in
nothing more than a perpetuation of the
Inadequacy of The Hague tribunal.
Fifthly, it is argued that the acceptance
of ra.e rather than strategy as the Justi-
fication for a frontier may necessitate
som" continual and special armed guar
antee bv the league to secure small and
strategically badly-placed communities
And will America back up these countries,
in peace time, with armies and fleets
Sixthly, It is felt that the financial <1 if
fieulties caused by the war are of such
a nature that they will of themselves post-
pone beyond the experience of anyone
taking part in the discussions of the
league committee any chance of their frui-
tion. It seems to be assumed here that,
with modifications, the financial sugges-
tions as to reparation and Indemnity put
forward by M. Stern in the French cham-
ber will be the basis accepted by the peace
congress. One of M. Stern's plans is 1 ho
occupation for many years of territory
admittedly German territory, which it will
be the business of the league of nations
eventually to return to Its own blood
brothers' if It can. But It will be a pity,

as a beautiful, but unattainable dream, and
fears If the wcfld goes chasing rainbows
it will be inevitably France and not
America or Britain, who must pay the
penalty in the next war.
And Britain, with the reservation noted,
is with America. What will be the out-
come? No man here knows, bui my guess
Is that neither President Wilson nor M.
i'lenience iu will be able to make much
impression on each other, anu that two
factors will operate forming the ultimate
settlement—the attitude of the people of
the United States In backing up or re-
fusing to back up their President, and the
personal stand taken by David Lloyd
George. The Welsh wizard, if he throws
the weight of Britain, as now seems
likely, on the side of Wilson, will carry
the league of nations and all that It im-
plies through the peace conference against
