There is almost the implication of irony in this last proviso, but at least It definitely assures the "home folks" of a sincere and hearty welcome. As for the ordinary summer traveler, the old refrain "America's good enough for met" will carry a compulsory ring. Apait fiom all other considerations, it can hardly fail to do so until a complete rearrangement of steamship services has been made. The present lines are wholly unequal to transporting the old vacation hordes to Europe. Much will depend upon what is done with the large and speedy German ships now in American hands. The Atlantic ferry today is no moie than equal to the demands laid upon it by the various gov ernments and by those civilians who have survived the multitudinous rigors in volved in securing passports. THE GERMAN PEACE TREATY WILL HAVE TEETH IN IT Teuton Delegates Are Using Allied Dis agreements as a File to Blunt Their Sharpness OF ONE thing we may rest assuied and that is that the peace treaty will have teeth in it. The German delegates arc just now doing their best to file off as much of the teeth as possible and thus to blunt them. Thee delegates aic not inexperienced in the arts of diplomacy. iNor are they amateur politicians. They arc taking advantage of whatever disagreement among the Allied delegates they can learn. It has long been known that the finan cial experts of the different delegations submitted widely diffeimg estimates of the ability of Germany to make financial reparation. Some of them put the amount which German could pay as iow as twenty-five billion dollais and others put it as high as fifty billions. A com promise was made by demanding the pay ment of twenty-five billions in the near futuie and such other sums towaid the complete icparatlon for damages ai in vestigation should show that Geimany could pay. The German delegates are ptotesting against being asked to agree to pay an indefinite sum in the fututc. They argue that it is unfair to ask their country to submit itself to the mercy of a commis sion representing her enemios and they whine about the reduction of their once proud nation to the rank of a second or third rate power. Theie is every evidence of a disposi tion in England to relax the rigors of the original diaft of the treaty. Certain edi tors, labor leaders and liberal politicians are saying that the treaty is too drastic. Lloyd George, who is fighting for his political life, has been influenced by this campaign, conducted largely by his politi cal enemies, and he is leported as favor ing modifications in the interest of Ger many. Prance, on the other hand, which has suffered most and has the most to fear from Germany, does not think the terms vate rigorous enough. Where Mr. Wilson stands is not defi nitely known. Dispatches from Paris within a few days have told us that he and Lloyd George were willing to make concessions, but that France was object ing. But yesterday Clinton W. Gilbert, the usually well-informed correspondent of this newspaper in Paris, cabled that Mr. Wilson stands alone among the Americans in objecting to concessions which liberal opinion in France and Eng land is willing to make. He announces, however, that it is certain that the eco nomic questions dealt with in the treaty will be subjected to further consideration and that the whole financial question will be reopened. If the German delegates choose to send word to Berlin that they have won a vic tory in thus bringing about a con sideration of the amounts the Germans must pay they will have some justifica tion. They have been boasting that they would not sign the treaty in its present form. Any modification will give them an opportunity to sign it and save their faces, and to go back home with what ever political advantages that will accrue to men who have done what they could for the country which they lepresent. But it is a mistake for any one to as sume, because of the difference of opin ion about the amount the Germans can pay, that Germany is going to be let off easily. Unfortunately for them, every .estimate the Germans may make as to their ability to make reparation will be received with suspicion. They have for feited the confidence of the world. Noth ing would please them better than to be able to put something over on the Peace Conference and then go home and boast about it. They will not be permitted to dictate the peace terms. This is certain. Germany will pay, and she will pay to the utmost of her ability If she is reduced to the rank of a third or fourth class power she has only her self to blame. She set out to become the greatest world power of this or any other time, bhe violated her pledged Word. She turned sacred treaties into scraps of paper under the pretense of military necessity. She violated all the laws of war on sea and land. She hazarded all that she had on a single throw'and she lost. She will reap what she has sown. Her loss of territory is small in comparison to the amount of territory which she planned to seize from the other powers if she had been victorious. The financial burden to be placed upon her is insig nificant in comparison with that which she announced she would place upon her defeated enemies. They were to be com pelled to pay" the whole rost of the war and to pay large indemnities In addition, and to give to German tiade concessions which would have mac the" German mer nwin .(.-w ..v ,.w..

If justice were clone to her she would be wiped off the face of the map. If financial concessions are mnde they will be made solely in the in terest of an enforceable peace and not through any sentimental sympathy with her misfortunes. It would be foolish to ask her for more than she is able to pay, but It would be criminnl to ask her for less. If Mr. Wilson is holding out for the full sum nominated in the original draft of the treaty it is because Mr. Wilson believes that she can pay it. But if we would remember that much that is given out from Paris in these days is for political effect in England and in France, nnd has little relation to th,e final terms of the completed treaty we shall not be misled into believing that tho peace delegates arc weakening in their doteimination to hold Geimany as fully accountable as possible for her many offenses. THE INEVITABLE LOBBYIST WHEN tho capital of the nation was moved from Philadelphia to Wash 'ington the e'.der statesmen of the period were moved by a belief that Congress could function more efficiently, more wisely and with greater benefit to tho country at large if it were permitted to do its work and its thinking in n place far away from the headlong tides of busi ness. Congress was supposed to be safe for ever from contact with the interests of selfish materialists when it was estab lished in the District of Columbia. Theie the members of the Senate and the House were to be incited to idealism by a sense of aloofness and dignified soli tude. They were imagined as having withdrawn from the noisy world to medi tate gravely and to go about their great tasks without any danger of being swayed, harassed or influenced by con cerns of worldlings or affairs unrelated to the nation's welfare. Lobbyists, hordes of lobbyists, under various suave designations, arrive in Washington for every session of Con gress. There are few important utilities or interests that have not unofficial am bassadors snugly established in offices or hotel suites at the national capital. Lum ber and mine corporations, banks, rail way oorporations, oil and land companies, farmers' associations, associations op posed to this and associations opposed to that, have Washington lepresentativcs. In Harrisburg and at every state capital the emissaries of materialism crowd in upon the Legislature and they are not alone. Whenever some one decides that he knows more about government than Con gress 'or the Legislature he organizes an association, hires a press agent and ap points a "legislative representative" at a big salary. The tumult and clamor, the bickering and the juggling that attend many sessions in Washington and at Har risburg and in Legislatures elsewhere are the natural and inevitable lesult of these attempts at unofficial government. Lobbyists in Washington are not so bold as they used to be. They are not cheerfully tolerated in the corridors of the Capitol. But they move contentedly in corridor conferences at the hotels and are practiced dinner givers for green con gressmen and gieen senators. The increasing complexity of the eco nomic system may make such unofficial representation understandable to some extent. But the lobbyist, under whatever name he moves, is a living denial of the theory that members of Congress and the Legislature are elected because they know what is best for the country or their communities and are fitted to act not in the interest of any special group, but for the good of the great masses of people wbo do not have lobbies organ ized in their behalf. , The British first lord Our Dead In France of tho admiralty has Kiveii it ns his opinion that the removal of the British dead from France is an impossibility.

GfMMKIin, for more than - thirty years professor of Kngltsb lit erature at Hnverfonl College, is gone from among lis. His was nn untimely death at sixty-four, In the mldt of his Hrtlvltles, for lie had been teaching on the afternoon of the very day on which followed his death, and his productivity as n scholar was not yet passed. Doctor Giimmcrc's mnny friends had hoped for him ninny more jears of thnt fine influence for good which he radiated so efficiently nnd unaf fectedly. For in Omninerc we have lost n foremost scholar, n teacher who beguiled his students into the love of learning, a man ever gentle, kindly nnd beloved. rnllH late Professor (Jummere was rcprc-J- sentntive of the tcry best type of Ameri can scholarship and Mir to the bc't'oppor tunitles thnt Ids own country and foreign training could afford. His was the ines timable advantage to bo born literally and reared in n college, so that from infancy he hienthed the nir of culture, refinement nnd aspiration after the ideals of learning. (Jmnmere wns a thoroughbred in education. His grandfather wns n notublc schoolmaster, his father, president of Hnverfonl nnd n mathematician of note. Books and learning were ns fiimllinr to joung Gtimmcrc ns toys and rattles to the many, nnd it was no small matter to htm, as to nil who have been so fin lunate, that Ilaverford was a little, close (oinnimiity where education was a personal mutter, not n system, where there was still leisure and none wns forced. On . such foundations nre well built the superstruc tures of scholarship. Hut (Jummere sojn sought wider fields, and nt Harvard, which had become a university by this time, he found the deeper scholarship of men like I'luncis James ChIM and Charles Kliot Nor ton, only to seek fuither nficltl in (iermnny and llngland for what these various sys tems of education might give him. GIM An CMMnrtH was one of several favored mericon scholars on whom that re markable teacher. Child, of Harvard, left his mark. Child's enthusiasm for old Eng lish, his thorough scholaiship in it, his peitiuiicious pursuit of the subject of balladry, which he raised from the oonjee tuies of the antiquarians into the field of scientific inquiry, produced n tremendous effect on joung men like Guiumere and Kitt redge. and through them nnd their like has been handed on to a new generation of iliolars. In (iiimnicre's youth the inces sant (ierman claim of superiority in edu cation, as in evcrj thing eKe, over nil other nations had reached the climax of its suc cess. It was the tiling to go to Germany to study even our own English literature, and thither (Jummere went, serving his semesters at Freiburg and doing ns the Ger mans did so far as the' sturdy Quaker soul within him permitted of these foreign ways. (Jummere was learned in the German wnjs of learning, quite the authority on (Jerinnnic origins, on the beginnings of poetry ,in the folk nnd in the lore of balladry, but he nccr became, as did so many of us, Ger manized. He imbibed with greater avidity those traditions which link us to the scholar ship of the British Isles and he remained with all his splendid linguistic attainments, his tlioiouglini'hs of method, his touch with the Old World nnd its ways, essentially an Amerirau scholar. SOME of the endearing traits of Gummorc, to one who is proud to have been of the number of his friends, siem to have been these: He was always of nn open mind, ready to receive new impressions; if need be, to revise the old. Stanch in the essentials which go to make a man sure of himself, he was always liberal nnd courteous to the opinions of others. It was a lesson to see him listening patiently and in the kindliest spirit to the maunderlngs of those unac quainted with n subject which Gummorc had at his finger ends. Never was there a twitch to betray superiority or to disquiet com-plai-ant ignorance. Standing by his guns iu the many results which came out of his abundant scholarship, he fell into no aciimonious controversies nor knew any of tlioM1 unhappy personal qunrrela which so often embitter men of books With each -other. Theie was no condescension in linn nnd his hand was ever outstretched to those who needed it. His word was" always kindly; if it could not be such his was the Quaker silence. B M1,, (Juramere was not only a deep scholar, wide in his interests, the author of many learned and successful books; he was likewise a great teacher". None who eer snt under him forget his unaffected power, his loving guidance along the path ways of learning, his care in making that delicate contact the secret of nil successful teaching of literature between the great thoughts of the past and the eager spirit of joutli, impatient, uncannily perceptive of anything lncking in sincerity, but willing to go far with him who can lovingly lead. This loving leadership Gummero had in the high est tlegree, and it is this that those who sat under him best remember. IT WAS a line jolt that Gummere once gave to some of the accepted certainties when he refused the chair of comparative literature at a famous university, for which he was peculiarly well fitted, to remain nt little Ilaverford, where was his heart and his home. His splendid scholarship was none too good, in his thought, to lavish on his own. And he bestowed the wealth of it alike to the illustration of a point in the classroom or to the upholding of some theory definitely to clear our perceptions of an abstruse problem in folk literature. For Ids substantial contri butions to this much-debated field, illus trated ns it is by his powers of argument and analogy : for his standard works on the tribal beginnings of poetry, the ballad and poetics and other kindred topics, this typical American scholar will long be read nnd re membered." For his. influence is wholly for good and his example that of industry, in tegrity and honest results, sustained by deep but practical learning. And above all will his friends ever hold his memory in love and veneration, for (Jummere was a friend among fiiends, one whohi you might sec daily and not weary of, .one whom you might meet years apart and yet continue witli as in the relations of yesterday. When all has been said of success as the world goes and of .the achievements of the mart, the forum or of learning, it is the memory of tho man to which we returnfor it is out of personality that all these things come.

I know not how it was but, with the first glimpse of the building a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable, for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable sentiment with which the mind usually receives even the sternest images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the simple visages of the policemen on guard in the courtyard upon the throng of suburban humanity pressing in mournful agitation toward their solemn hour of trial upon a deserted litter of planks left by the heedless hand of the subway contractor and nn icy anguish seized upon my spirit. What was it I paused to think what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the City Hall? Was it the knowledge that any one of these bluecoats could, with a mere motion of his hand, consign me to some terrible dungeon within those iron walls or the thought that in this vast and pitiless pile sat men who held the destiny of my fellow citizens in their hands or the knowledge that time wns flying and I was in 'imminent peril of missing my train? It was a mystery all insoluble, nnd I mused in shadowy fancy, caught in a web of ghastly surmise. At last I raised my head, breaking away from these unaualyzed forebodings. I gazed nnwnril uliere the Inst fire of the setting sun tinged tho summit with a gruesome glow O horror more than mortal! O fearful sight that drove the blood in torrents on my heart fod shield and guard wic from the arch fiend, 1 shrieked had William Penn gone Bolshevist?

Henry James THOBNCLIFF was thinking, as he crossed the, to him, intolerably interwoven con tusion of Maiket street, that he had never unless it was once in. a dream which he strangely associated in memory with an overplus of antipasto never consciously, that is, threaded his way through so baffling a predicament of traffic, and It was not until halted, somowbat summarily,, though yet klmllv. bv a blue arm which he after some scrutiny asKessed as belonging to a traffic patrolman, thnt he bethought himself suffi ciently to inquire, in n manner a little breathless still, though understood at once by the kindly envoy of order as the natural mood of one inextricably tangled iu mind nnd not yet wholly untangled in body, but still intact when the yronulsive energy of the motortruck hnd been, by a rapid shift of gears and actuating mnchlnery, transformed to a rearward movement, where ho might bo and how. "This is Market btrcet," said the officer. - "Market street? Ah, thank you." Market street! Could it be, Indeed? Ilia last conscious impression bad been of some shop a milliner's, perhaps? on, probably, Walnut street, where he bad been gazing with mild reproach .at the price tickets upon the hats displayed, or, If not displayed, a term implying a rather crude concession to commercialism, at least exhibited, and "con sidering whether or not It would be ad visable, ou so hot a day, or a day that had every promise of becoming hot unless those purple clouds that hung over the. ferries should liquidate into something not unlike a tliuuder shower, to carry with him a small hat as an act of propitiation and reconcile ment with Mrs, Thorncllff. So this was Market street. He gazed with friendly ln terest into the face of tho policeman, a gaze in' which there, was not the slightest sign of any animating rebuke-at the interruption in his medltatiou. a meditation which, after all.. liad bceu,unconseiOMthcr than , aetiveljr MET AT LAST' iviui, ax juadi. of inquiring ultimately whether it were safe, now and here, to cross the highway or whether it would be better to wait until the semaphore (which, as he had just noticed, was turned to STOP) gave him undoubted privilege to pass unhindered, remarked again, but without mnlicious motive, which indeed would have been foreign to his mood and purpose: "Market street? How interesting." I Walt Whitman T SEE the long defile of Market street, And he, young libertad offering to shine my shoes (I do not have my shoes shined, for am I not as worthy without them shined?

On the summit of the tower will be observed the colossal statuo of William l'enn, said to be of German cxtrnc. tlon (1044-1718).. The Market street is the business center of Philadelphia. A curious phenomenon, exhibiting the perspicacious Bhrcwdness of the native of this great city may be observed on any worm day about nodn : the natives keep to the shady side of the street. As the thoroughfare runs due east and west, a brief astronomical calcula tion will show this to be. the southern side of the way. Between October and April however, it is quite safe to walk at a leis urely pace on the sunny side.

Ernest L. Haight, in the ' New Herald. York "Received: One Village" Major Ian Hay Keith tells an amusing experience of an American officer with the commander of a British tank In a French village. "We got there rather more easily than I had expected," said the colonel. "When our men rcaehed the little market square the reason revealed itself in the form of a British tank squatting plumb in the center, having, beaten us to it by about four minutes. .The usual infant was In charge. When he saw our senior major he -scrambled down, saluted and formally handed over the village. The major saluted back and thanked him. Then the child said. khid of thoughtfully, 'Still, we wish soraeJ. how that ho had something to show, sir, tnat we were 'here first.' The major thought a minute.
