RATIFY THE TREATY !
Readjustment of the world’s economic
and industrial conditions, which were so
badly dislocated by the war, is im-
possible so long as*there are fears and
d ubts as as to international relations in
the immediate future. The establish-
ment of adozen governments in Europe,
ie boundaries between new nations, the
resumption of commerce with the late
belligerents, the extension of credits and
a hundred other no less vital problems
depend upon the conclusion of peace,
F'iere can be no real, stable prosperity
w.thout peace. There can be no peace
until the treaty between Germany and
ail the countries with which she was at
war is an accomplished fact. The pres-
ent status of uncertainty is sure to pro-
duce unrest among peoples everywhere
and consequent disturbance of business.
The biggest and most powertul nation
in the world—the United States—is
seriously affected by its present position
in the twilight between war and peace,
As the most imporant factor in the
finance and trade of the world the
United States must be free to return to
its tasks at home and abroad before
Europe and South: America can flad
themselves.
The New York World correctly diag.
noses the present economic situation
when it says editorially :
“There can be no approach to normal
conditions in this country until the
treaty of peace is out of the way and the
work of liquidating the war has become
‘the chief concern ot Government as well
~* as of the victims of the existing sit-
uation. Business of all kinds is largely
speculative because of indefiniteness

Thos. F. Delaney in celebration of Mr
Delaney's thirty- sixth birthday.
The guests, who numbered vearly a
hundred, met at the bome of Abner
Alexander, from which place they went
in a body to the Delaney home,
The party was a real surprise to Mr. De.
laney who had no intimation that such
anevent was to transpire, and the de-
light of the guests was boundless.
Games were indulged in with much
gusto and happiness, and with the pal
atable. repast which coasisted of ice
cream, luscious cakes, candy, and coffee,
which was served by the admirable fair
sex of the crowd, everybody thoroughly
enjoyed themselves, 4
Mr. Delaney received numerous pres-
ents among which was a fine rocker and
in which be intends to spend his winter
evenings.
The guests departed at one o'clock
after their pleasurable time of seeing
Mr. Delaney through his birthday, Tom
certainly got his ears pulled a-plenty,
and expressed the wish that he could
have a birthday every day in the year.
