In n sense the United States started the practice of deciding the treaty issues Inillviilniillv nml mnkliiL' nubile its de cision without first finding out whether its view was acceptable to the Allies. It did so In letting the world know thn(t It saw no objection to Kbcrt's troops entering the Ruhr rcgidn in spite of the treaty's prohibitions. France, in announcing its intention to take possession of four Gcrmuu cities, has merely followed our lend. Thc incident cannot fall to have n bail effect upon our tclatlons with France, which hn,ve been steadily drift ing to worse through President Wilson's failure to deliver to France the guar antees which lie promised her, his re cent sharp criticism of France for mili tarism, and Ills steady drift toward a pro-German rather than u pro-French position with regard to an enforcement of the treaty. England and Italy have only been a step behind the United States in this tendency, and if a liberal labor govern ment should come in Fnglnnd. France would be badly isolated. Shu has evi dently determined to strike now before all her late allies become committed to the relaxation of the treaty, counting upon forcing Fnglnnd and Italy to stand in support of her. Allies Not in Harmony The situation in Europe is full of danger. The Allies nro no longer work ing in harmony. The League of Nations is not functioning.

Frnncc's do-1 cislon to advance her troops'nnd occupy German cities of Frnnkfort. Darmstadt. Hamburg und Hainan marks her final break with this country on enforcing the treaty. England must now choose whether she will stand with France or not. Thc treaty had been slowly breaking down. The Allies had yielded to Ger many on the trial of the war guilty. The United States had allowed to be made public her view that the Allies should not stand upon n strict enforce ment of the terms of the treaty barring German troops from the Ruhr valley. English newspapers nre full of declara tions that the treaty is being revised nnd will be further revised. Thetippo sltion to Lloyd George led by Asquith nnd the labor chiefs Is all in favor of a revision of the treaty. Under these clrniinstnnccs Germany wns jircssed for a further moderation of its terms ami any Herman government is likely to stand or fall by Its ability to force chances in it. To have entered the Ruhr valley with troops would have been another evidence to Germans that the present government wns aggressive in bringing about modifications. In these circumstances the French hnve elected to face the issue and Iinvc the question settled whether or not the Allies will stand with her iu enforcing thc trenty.
