Tlie seeds of future wars have been sown
iu Kurope by the deliberations ami ftnd-

Politics at Will nink college Tuesday In
his second lecture on "l-terniitional Ite-

Cussiic the flam i": of treaties by the

"Their work has received in Kurope

Peace as Bod as War.
'"One hears people say 'the sort of
peace t lint these negotiators have given
lis is as bad as was the war.' The nego
tiators at Paris differed in their princi
ples and ideals and some of them at least
lo not seem to nave neiievea in me prin-
ciples they professed.
"Kuropean critics have suggested that
some of them msy have thought they
must piny down to their own electorates
nod re :.ird rot what ought to be done but
what would help in the next electoral
campaigns. Popular prejudices popular
passions snd cupidities had to be humored
or gratified. Moreover and this is an
excuse which roust not he lightly brushed
aside the tnfk before them was one of
unprecedented difficult). New states had
to be created territories redistributed.
indemnit;es secured and all on a scale
incomparably greater than any interna-
tional congress ever before had at-
tempted." TakiiiR up the position in which the
Kuropeati countries find themselves as
the reiiult of the peace treaty Ixird
JJryce said:
Gorraiay Still Populous.
"Germany which though reduced In
area is st'il Germany and continues to
'Call herself the reich (the realm) albeit
now a republic instead of a monarchy
Germany is still the most populous of
European countries after Russia with
highly educated and industrious inhabi-
tants and great productive industries.
Itetween her and France tbe ancestral
antagonism dating bark to the days of
ont XIV's aggressions. Is now more
bitter than ever and seems likely to last
in France as long as the generation lives
which remembers the devastation
wrought in 1017 by the retiring German
army and in Germany as long as her
government continues to pay immense
sums iu reparation for the losses iu the
war by France.
"This vur has shown one unprecedented
feature. Iiainful iu the prospect it opens.
Tb Tic; or bear as much resentment
against tbe vanquished as the vanquished
do against the victors. There is no
blacker cloud pregnant with futura
storm hanging over Kurone now than
that which darkens the banks of the
Rhine. Not even after Jena in 1H(KI. not
even after Oravelotte and fedan and the
capitulation of Paris in 1871 lias the
prospect of reconcilement between two
neighboring peoples seemed ao distant."
Of Austria nnd Italy's nsplrations in
regard to Tyrol the speaker said:
No Historic Title.
"Italy bad. of course no historical title
whatever to the purely Germanic region
she sought to acqirre. However the
principle of nationality was in this case
thrown . overboard. The Hritish and
French governments defended their action
by pleading a secret treaty."
Turning to Rusfla Iord Brycc dis
cussed the prospects of the empire say-
i:ig: "If the CTpcrcneo of states which
have in pa't times lapsed into anarchy
or fallen ii' der the dominion of groups of
adventurers rul'ng by mere force with-
out a shred of constitutional or moral
authority were to furnish any ground for

Turning to the Near East Lord liryce
coni nued:

sales depend very largely upon ow well we handle our
first events."
our
long experience in merchandising
here in Houston our word to
you is you will find in this sale

Blankets and Comforts ever of-
fered in this
city.

in a newspaper.

our stock of Cotton Dresses is divided into
five groups and so greatly reduced that
every one should be closed out today.
$3e95
$6.95 $13.95
$24.95 $32.95
Original Prices $10.00 to $89.50
speciaY NOTE There are about two dozen
dresses which were received recently that are
