of the old parties stood for a protective

THE FOCU lDtV.
"Thirty-five hundred J-inch field
guns have been lound by the inter-
allied commission in tne vicinity of
Berlin alone, and, altogether, 1^,000
.of the-c guns thus tar have been dis-
covered throughout Germany, as well
as airpianes, intact. According
to the terms nt the treaty, the German
army should now have only 2<H d-inclt
guns and no airplanes whatsoever."
This, and much more to the same ef-
fect of "Germany's intention to evade
her obligations," made yesterday's dis-
patches from Paris very lively reading.
It is a revelation that will tend to/
increase the world's practical appre-
ciation of Marshal Foch's idea that not
hv trustfulness nor coaxing, nor even
by co-operation, but by clubbing, is the
characteristic treachery of Germany to
he thwarted and the treaty terms
executed Even in this country, the
h'och idea's stock will be "boosted,'' so
to speak, and find a very large num-
ber of unhyphenated American takers.
Who has been "governing" Cermany
during the nine monthi since the treaty
was signed, and the surrender of these
German guns, airplanes and coal sup-
plies was thereby pledged? Ebert and
his cabinct and a popularly elected
legislative body called the "National
Assembly," for the welfare of all of
whom the Allied Supreme Council is so
solicitous! Whether or not such
treachery va= suggested, as well as
desired, by tht monarchists, no little
group of autocratic Prussians is re-
sponsible for its perpetration. This
comes right down to the German peo-
ple the German popular "govern-
:ncnt"; socialist-democratic-republican,
it is iumble-termed.

KliVICK MEN'S 1IKL1EI BILL
The American Legion's "bonus" bill
for tormer service men, introduced in
the House lately by Chairman Fordney
of the Committee on Ways and Means,
follows the lines of the recommenda-
tions approved in conkrence of mem-
bers of the Legion. It is a distinct im-
provement on aforetime suggestions ol
a bond issue that would be extremely
difficult to float, except at a high rate
of interest or at a heavy discount; or
a burdensome increase of taxes for
which the country is not at present
prepared.
The bill provides that ex-service men
shall exercise their option as to re-
ceiving the benefits of one of four
plans lor relief—land-settlement aid,
home aid, vocational training, and cash
compensation. The bill authorizes the
appropriation of .">>X/,t)UO,UOO, over a
period of ten years, for the land-settle-
ment aid, one-tenth of which sum is
to be available for immediate use.
Other sums would be appropriated for
aid in improving the lands and in
building homes, and for loans that
would enable the home-owners to pro-
vide equipment and to "carry on" until
income front production should becoms
sufficient for actual needs. Also, there
would be appropriations for vocational
training and for the men's support
while undergoing preparation for re-
munerative employment.
In case any beneficiary should not
accept cither of the optional plans
above suggested, he would receive the
sum of M.50 a day, upon his applica-
tion, for each dav of his service be-
tween April »i, 1017, and November II.

i nnuncement of a platform in detail;
merely the "alignment of democracy
against plutocracy"—and that is quite
j too indefinite to serve as the basis
i of "a new political party." There is
a potent and fast-growing public senti-
ment in this country which is distinct-
ly independent of all party affiliation,
I and might prove to be the balance of |
I power in certain circumstances; but
suppose it should abandon its neutr.:l
or nonpartisan at'itude and unite un-
der some sort of political banner of its
own—in what respect would it differ,
as to partisan character, from other
political parties?
In any so-called "contest" between
democracy and plutocracy, between the
i people and the politicians, between
pure patriotism and what some people
I call "bunk," there is a vast difference
between the Independent thinker, who
expresses his own convictions, and the
hidebound partisan who does not pre-
tend to think for himself, but, parrot-
like. echoes the voice of his partv
