The President is anxievidently doing what he can to allay the Senators eties and remove the objections of who have hitherto been recloned as Treaty unwilling to ratify - the : Peace as . it . stands; and as .to .the tripartite defensive alliance, the probability is that when he shall address Congress on the subject, as he has promised to do at an eafly date, he will doubtless male such explanation of Its terms and dBligations, and --of its temporary character, as to satisfy those who have felt it to MUrt e i 4 the idea of .a League of Nations. Whether with or without good reason, the fael is that France is decidedly nervous over the possibility that Germany may suddenly seise the saber againafter the Allies have withdrawn their armies, and may male a swift and deadly attempt to recover the territory wrested from the former empire by the Peace Treaty. The rapid return home of the American forces naturally tends to increase this nervousness, and France thinks she has cause to fear that if bentrai Europe should note any evidence of American apathy, when once our soldiers are all withdrawn from European service, Germany might easily be tempted to strike a last desperate blow in revenge- - These must may be imaginary or baseless fears; but it had bas France experience remembered that bT which justify her in wanting the strongest possible guarantees and precautions for her future protection and safety. Ob the whole, this French treaty appears to be assured of a more oordial reception and of prompter ratification by the C 8. Senate than the other, and that Is perhaps the reason why Mr.' Wflaon Is bolding tt back until the of it larger pact is out of the way. Approval reiteraa formal than no more involve would tion of this government' action in April, 1917, when war was declared upon Germany; and it would also establish us in Close and amicable relations with France and Britain a status which opponents of the League of Nations have no wish to disturb, but which they would acprefer to retain in some other wsy than by of those cepting the obligations and guarantees with portions of the Covenant which fill them am! alarm. misgivings CHICAGO'S TRACTION CRISIS. crisis which Chicago Is facing as a re-- suit of the demand of employees ctiha transportation companies for an increase of 77 per cent to wages fnd the refusal of the traction corporations to grant it, presents a clea.rly defined issue and one in which there seems to be less than the usual amount of bluff. Moreover, it is out of the ordinary in that each side recognurcs to a great extent the justice of the other sides attitude.- - The. companies are said to concede the rightfulness of demands, at least in part; and the men the companies on some of the lat- -, with agree tors claim. Nevertheless, the men say they ijnusl have more pay In order to live, and unites they get it they will go out on strike; and 'the companies on their part ay they cannot pay more wages without becoming bankrupt . land they would rather cease operation now ithan go on adding to their losses.

One of the most impressive chapters is that which relates to the transporting of our forces to and from Europe a task ' whose " gigantic proportions may.be visualized from the statement that during the nineteen months of our participation in the'' war more than two million American soldiers were carried uf Francehalf a million of them in' the first thirteen months and a million and a half in the last six monthsl ThaL there were- - periods whrn this mighty movement attained the unheard-o- f propor-iiMtoten thousand a day, is seen in the record for July a year ago, when 300,000 men were" carried over to Europe, and in the still more remarkable record for May of this year when 330,000 were brought home to America! It is of further interest, as settling a question which., bas bean, much debated, every 100 Americans who went over, 49 went in British ships, 45 in American ships, 3 in Italian, 2 in French and I in' Russian shipping under English control. Our averaged one complete trip every 70 days, and our i.roop ships one complete trip In exactly half that time, 35 days. While British ships carried more of our soldiers' than -- our own did, the 'cargo fleet was almost exclusively American; it reached ihe size of 2,600,000 deadweight tons, and It carried three quarters of a billion ton of cargo. A coincidence - that smacks etrongty of retribulion is that ' the greatest among all the ships has been the leviathan, formerly the Vaterland when under German colors, which landed 12,000 men, or the equivalent of a German division, in France every months The fastest Jransporto" have been the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, both American vesselsv which have made complete turnarounds, taken on new . troops and started back again in 19 days.
