A lifetime of bitter and enlightening ex perience has been packed into tlie twenty months of the President's life that have paSM-d since the davs when it teemed that lie was about te turn the world from Its ancient and disastrous vvajs. He was mis taken at I'osten nnd he admits ns much new for the tit at time. Had he ically known hew te get the peace he Rought. the peril of new war' would net new be settling like dark ness ever lnrge nreas in Europe. The peace that Mr, Wilsen ib-slrrd eluded him. He did net knew hew te get it. lint ns the months and the jear.s pass it will beceme increasingly clear te every one that the een-t-niucnces of the less may weigh even mere heavily en the world nt large than they have weighed en the lonely pioneer at the White Heuse. We may have te wait a long time fully te understand the enus.es behind the slew col lapse of the great wheine for world pence advanted by the Americans at Paris. Thcse causes were various and often they vvere deep-hidden and obscure. (Jreat ambitions, great hepi, grent careers, great reputations vvere bound up Inextricably in Europe with Nvstems of diplomacy that generate hate and fear as fmciM of empire. Against these sys tems and the hordes of their propagandists a handful of Ameilcnns was unable te pre vail. And in Ihe tinnl crisis humanity lest faith In the plans formulated b.v devoted men for Its btilvntien. What i plain new is that no one man, no small group of crusading idealists, will ever be able te achieve the ends which plain peep'e everywhere vlsiened two vears age. The people themse'ves must learn te put their energies and then collec tive will behind these who still hope te step the disunities, of militarism and milltniistic competitions. Ter there Is no peace In sigbt. What Mr. Wilsen said of Mr. Ledge nnd his group M. Clemenceau said of Mr. Wilsen. "I knew hew te get peace," said iverv man vv an believed in the old eidei, "and Wilsen does tint !" They, tee, were mistaken. They wcie mere grievously mistaken tiinn the Prod Pred dent. Cnbiiut overthrows ate even new thrt fttcnH in mere than one allied eeintrv for tlie simple reason that everv scheme of i-ittlement br.s d rp.ni a revived militarism bus a'.j"ady roved unstable and treacher ous. 4. eliciis of pest -war tinance founded in sumo Eurepmu leuntrics en a lvtuni te the la-v of might and cip'oltatieii have been leading tired an 1 desperate nations net te the light but te the brinks of new- abysses. Se. sine" ther" is no peace in sight for tlie people of the Old World, there is none in sight for their governments. Like all ether men who have had te give mere than a casual glauce nt the present drift of international affairs, (Senernl Illiss rvalue that moral leadership of a bold and Imaginative kind is medru te held modern civilization together nnd te guide the na tions out of the bewilderment and deipatr into which they are sinking. Even in the drama of these days there have lieeu few figures mere nnesting tlriti that of this mas ter of military sceui" who biM'eches man kind te have done with the mecurtuisms of imperial war. IStit it is net alone because of its drnmntic force that (ieneral Ullss' suggestion mil' t uppeal te cv. n n lazy imagination. It is bei nuse it indlc-ites n vv ay te a complete icvivnl of the moral force of Ameiicau opinion in tlie councils of civ civ ilisateon and te a re-i stahlishment of the sort of Ieadeiship wheli America held se tnagnitici ntly in tne uirlv days of the Paris negotiations that the tiist iiddn ss in the Academy series will be memeiublr.

Hut Is It fair te leek nt n small group of politicians and call them France? And Is It te be supposed that a land that has been trampled in every mlle by invading fees and Invading friends, that has been hurt and despoiled lu n hundred wajs of which people seldom think lu suc cessive wars, will put nwny Its arms with out any iiuestien, or that u people shall for get overnight tenors and inarlvrdeins that even the little chlldicu did net escape? Whatever the occasional French diplo matist may desite, the French people desire only te live In peace and honor. T.Ike all Jhe elher plain people in the world, they need only the assurance that a general move ment for dlfnrmaiiieiit would give them.

It. T. te It for consideration Is te be reviewed by the Supreme Court. The Importenro of the Issues Involved Is such that n ruling of the highest court te which the questions can be taken should be secured. The opinion handed down with the Su perior Court decision leaves the whole ques tion In confusion. The learned judge wrote thnt the court was net prepared te accept as sound the bread preposition of the coun sel for the underlying companies that the Public Service Commission had no Jurisdic tion ever them. He further wrete that the Public Service Commission, In ascertaining a fair value of the property, should net necessarily be obliged te consider the private contracts between the operating company nnd its lessors. And he declared that the con tracts in question could net be Attached before the administrative body with the avowed end of having the rentals Tcduccd. In conclusion, he said that "the commission has ample power, without doing violence te any legal principles, te compel the rendition of adequate service nt fair rntes ever the property owned by the appellant (that is, the underlying) cempnnie, and there mny come n time seen when, without overstepping Its power, it mnv with propriety take action the result of which would very seriously affect the rentals under the contracts in question." Wc shall net nttempt te discover what the meuning of this opinion Is, bemuse It Is Impossible te discover from It whether the Superior Court has decided that the Public Service Commission hns or has net the au thority te inquire into the terms of the lenses. Seme of the sentences seem te sus tnln the authority of the commission and ethers seem te deny it. The Supreme Court will have un oppor tunity te clarify the situation. If the Public Si rvlce Corimissien has power under the law te make the inquiry which it started, that court is expected te say se. If the ncllen before the court is brought In the wrong way. the court is expected te indicate what procedure is necessary te bring the issue up for adjudication. In the meantime it is hoped that the city solicitor, who has inter vened, will be mere zealous In protecting the interest of the public before the Supreme Court than he seems te hnve been before the court which has just overruled the order of the Public Service Commission. "ENEMY CHILDREN" AFFAIItS in the Old World hnve been taking some queer turns. Ne man living can say what the world will leek like in Ave years. We ourselves may ct need friends In unexpected quarters. Te de right because it is right; te be generous and without hate or bigotry nnd te be without fear of nnv sort such should be the alms of the people of the United States. One cannot but be reminded again of the ttraugeuess of our position in the world by a reading of an extraordinarily moving sen tence uttered bv Mr. Hoever at a meeting held in Ilosteti te aid the work of relief for children in central Europe. "1 would rather have the American (lug implanted in the hearts of the little children In Europe." Hoever said, "than flying ever any citadel of victory!" Certainly a Hag could have n0 prouder place than thnt te which Hoever would catty eui h. Ami .vet there nre people who still question the virtue of n movement In augurated in the interest of "enemy thil dien." Enemv childiiu! Ne one who knows any thing of the life of Inner Europe can reud these two words without a sense of soriew and despair. The children who ere In need in l dwarfed, tubercular, half-stat veil, or phaned and deemed te endless misery be cause of n vver about which, of course, they knew nothing.

I.OWKIE I DO net knew who Is responsible for the first suggestion te the Stokevvskls of the Ileetheveii piano recital", but whoever it was ceufert ed a great nnd signal favor en the town. Nothing that hns happened In Philadel phia for a generation has hud the distinc tion In n sense the Interest that Madame Samareff's playing of the senntns ami Leo Lee pold Stokewski's cemment1) en the composi tions have given. The recitals really mark an epoch lu the musical history of Philadel phia. TN THE I J- lure of history of music nnd of the cul- the wer'd eerlnin things happen new nml ngaln which forever make the plnce In which thev hniiiien famous. All shrines nre made shrines just because something connected with the world's progress occurred there. It is net n sbrlne-likc place, that ernnte, everdtnped, low-eellinged ballroom of the llellevue-Strntferd. The noises of dishes being wnshed en one side nnd ashes being dumped en the ether side make one aware tliat ether nffnlis besides music nre In prog ress tinder the snme reef, even If the odor of past dinners nnd present suppers did net linger in the atmosphere. One could wish that the newly renovated foyer of the Academy would from hence forth mark- the spot where these xvondeiful cencertB were Inaugurated, but no untoward circumstances cau actually mar, just ns no eminently becoming surroundings could In n eensa make, the happening less or mere of nu event. REDUCED le Its very simple terms this Is what has happened. The greatest compositions of the greatest enmpe'er of music for the piano nre being iilnyed nnd classically Interpreted by one et the great pianists of the world. And prefacing her interpretation, which. In a historic sense, is the Interpretation for Madame Sainareff it tee great an artist te Impose her person ality between llecthevcn and her bearers there Is the quiet, bulatiecd cemmsnt en tin spiritual and technical generalities thnt mnrk each sonata with a character of its own, mnde by one of the greatest orchestral leaders of this present period of art. Therefore the audience that crowds that low room two evenings n month this winter will have had In his sonatas Ilcethnvcn with all his qualities reproduced an near te the original as one great nrtlst can reproduce another, but added te this "bringing te re membrance" the sensations et the past, thern Is the added Interest of the contemporary point of view. MADAME SAMAHOFF. In giving the tra ditional interpretation handed down from Iteetheven through master nftcr master until the present, is conferring n tremendous favor as well as fulfilling a tremendous duty. What Mr. Ktokewski does Is make nn nt nt mespherc of sympathy nnd comprehension bv voicing for nil the audience the reactions of present-day men and women te the sonn senn tas.
