Under this instrument occupation bv the Iftllled and associated troops of German t"rri t"rri jierjr te the West nf the Hhlne. together uith iiirldgeheads, is specified as a guarantee nf Jthe execution of the treaty. I A pregrnm of gradual evacuation is out 'lined. If geed faith Is held te "be observed, ithe occupation period in the Coblenz area i where the American troops new are stn stn .tiened is fixed at ten years. It is tlefinltl 'utatcd that breaches of contract will warrant the allied and associated forces in reoccur . jng any or part of the areas particularized, and that the right nf occupation for an "n definlte number of years holds if the terms of the engagement are net carried out. Wide latitude of performance i tntis granted the I'nlted States. If German re sistance te the enforcement of the provi previ sions of the Berlin Treaty is manifested, or if reluctance te negotiating a still neces sary supplemental pact is displayed, the threat of reoccupation may be applied. It Is said that the romantic castle of Khrenbrcitstein will probably remain under the American flag for come time te come. The return of the majority of the lfi.000 T'nited States troops new en the Ithine will materially decrease the bill which Oermany will ewe this Government for maintenance. The colors en Khrenbreitsteln will serve as a reminder of recent history. WASHINGTON AS HOST THE concern of the Government nith physical conditions at the Disarmament Conference is revealed in the preparations for accommodating a large number of .spec tators at the public Kessiens. These will be held in spacious I) A. It Continental Hall, adjacent te the Pan -American Build ing, where the main work of the conference will be done. Reception responsibilities, however, de net fall upon the Government alone. The City of Washington will be tested as it sel dom is save during presidential inaugura tions or during a national crisis such as war The capital is certain te be crowded during the parley. Habitation resources are llkel; te be strained and opportunities for extor tion will exist,. With due regard for the difficulties of the Wr period, it mut be said that the reputa tion of the capital as an accommodating. courteous and ungrasping host is net glow ing. Parisian greed was roundly denounced during the Peace Conference, and doubtless many of the se-called held-up tactics r.depted were indefensible. Nevertheless, war reactions in a city that had been vir tually besieged for mere than four years fur nlshcs some color of excuse. The argument Is Inapplicable te present day Washington. There the obligation te respect the amenities of honorable social relationships and geed manners is profound. Vpen hotel and restaurant keepers espe daily Is laid an important share of the public duty of resisting the temptations of "geed hunting " CAN THIS BE ISOLATION?

The order has been made, and that is all we knew about it. A reduction In freight rates Is needed There can lie no doubt about tlmt. But the railroad managers hnve been saying that thej cnuld net afford te reduce tbem st this time They have been planning te ask the IUillread Laber Ileard te consent te n reduction of 10 per rent in wages In order te enable them te pay expenses under the present freight rates. The empleyes, however, are fighting any reduction In their pay. There is en Im pression that the real purpose of the fight Is net te maintain wages, but te strengthen the labor unions. And many railroad man agers are said te welcome the fight nt this time because they think It gives te them nn opportunity te weaken the unions. The public is mere interestcil, in having the railroads run without interruption than in any controversy between the railroad managers nnd the men. If they had any unj of forcing the disputants te settle their disagreements by negotiations they would resort te It without nn Instant's delny. IRREPRESSIBLE CHARLES THE new attempt of Charles Hapsburg te icgiiln the throne of Hungary revives a situation replete with ominous possibilities for Central Europe. It should be evident by this time that re re nciiennrj sentiment In Hungary, which was pronounced throughout the whole course of the war, is still alive. Insolent nnd reckless.

I Werk of Kindly Women at Heme and Abroad I I I By SARAH n' kOWKIK rpHIS summer I was dining with one of J- the three men who were responsible during the war for the establishment of the canteen centers under the Y. 1L C. A. In i ranee nnd Italy, nnd he told me that the greet stores of writing paper, games, etc., that had been left en their hands nt the close of the war had been distributed iti a variety of directions, leaving n goodly balance te the United States Army chnp chnp leins for future use at army pests and frontier camps. He also told me that In some cases when the War Department clese.d the Y. II. C. A. canteens and Y. M. C. A. workers were disbanded In these camps, some of the huts were left for the use of the soldiers. There seemed te be n great difference of opinion among the officers of both the army nnd navy as te hew much the outside seclnl service efforts en behnlf of the enlisted men were beneficial. EVcn the chaplains were nt odds ever the question. Seme welcome It, some are indifferent te it and some curtly refuse It. In some regiments the commanding officer is apparently pleased te co-eporntc with responsible committees of women In order that there should be monthly nnd even weekly dances for the men. Oiie such arrangement has been In order nt Camp Dlx. for lnstnnce, for one of the regiments since early spring. f$CK n week all summer Hi 8. Jehn S T Themas and her committee from the Diocese of Pennsylvania took down two great nioterbuses of girls te spend the eve ning nt the camp as guests of n regiment, the Cilrls' Friendly Societies of the different parishes furnishing certain picked girls for this kind nnd amusing purpose The girls enjoyed the meter ride nnd the dance, nnd the tncu enjoyed their guests, nnd the chaplain and the commanding offi cers enjoyed the veij decided lift te the morale that weekly expectation gave te the regiment. It Is no easy tusk te mnke sure of nnd te transport fifty girls once n week and see that they are all safely get home .en the return. Rut this Mrs. Themas accom plished and is very cheery ever the experi ence and ready for some months mere of It until the cold weather sets In and makes meter rides for winter afternoons nnd eve nings Impractical for se long a trip. The fact that the war is ever and thai most of us are occupied with ether things and that the 1'. S.

HOWEVER r was talking with a former overseas woman enlv this week who could net get the hevs of her old wnr division out of her mind, and when Inst year she received a round robin from forty of them nslcing her te come down nnd g!v; iSiern a lift, she moved heaven and earth that is. the powers in Washingien and the army te be allowed te go. These forty enlisted men who had sent for her se tnibtinglv were down in the Isle of Haiti nt Pert-nu-Prince. It nppcnrs thnt during the wnr, in order te keep thnt islnnd nnd San Dominge free of Germans, our troops policed both islands. ' And se beneficent was their policing at least that is our version of it that they were asked te step en for ten ears or se and protect the natives of the towns and hnrbers and rivlllzed parts against the native bandits of the hills, who call themselves revolutionists. The I'nlted States Army accepted the ver.i polite invitation nnd sent n brigade down there. As 0 result the President nf Haiti hns been able te keep his head for ever two years, a feat of no mean Importance, for ns n rule the President was the official target for pet shots from the revolutionists, nee bandits. The reason for his having remained intact is that n marine giinid always ac companies him, as well ns his native guard, te protect him from pet shots und te put the fear of the I'nlted States of America Inte the native gunrd. THE commanding officer of the marines at Pert-au-Prince nnd of the ether regi ments stationed back in the hills could Es tablish nn precedent by officially accepting outside help for the men, but he very wlsel saw the advnntnge te them of Heme geed place for them te go when they were off duty, nnd se in every way In his power he and his junior efficcr-i and their wives bne made It easy for outside help te be given by their unofficial helpfulness nnd courtesy anil appreciation. This made it possible for Miss Emily Smith, te whom the round robin was sent by the enlisted men, te necept their Invita tion and go down te Pert-au-Prince. She established herself in a commodious nnd at tractive house In the town and turned It Inte a homelike place for the men te gather when off duty for reading nnd writing nnd games and parties. And what she has clone there her sister. Miss Elizabeth Smith, Ih duplicating in Snn Dominge, under slightlv different conditions. AS TIIE climate is very het and dnmp and enervating, the-e two women very wisely come North in the spring nnd remnin at their home out in Gwynedd Velley dur ing the summer. They nre new en theii way -back te their Island pests, however, gallantly facing the heat and red nuts and native incapacity for the sake of the men In the camps and bnnacks. Miss Smith rented her house from a well-to-de Haitian. It Is of stone and plnster with a walled gerden There is a screened veranda lighted by electricity and an ample living-room and dining-room, besides the kitchen. She has made her house a very pleasant stepping-ln plnce for the men. Eight or nine are generally her guests at dinner nnd from fifty te sixty are there every evening until rellcall. She is permitted te visit them in the hospital and In the barracks and she Is thenly white woman, besides the colonel's wife, who Is allowed te go up te the en cumpment In the hills, where the aviation camps, etc., are. ANT ONE who has worked overseas knows that if veu work with the enlisted men you had best avoid playing much with Ihe officers. There is a great gulf fixed by in my tradition between officers nnd men in the metter of sociel Intercourse, nnd the men resent their special friends keeping open house for both. In fact, It would net he possible from the ..fficirs' standpoint either, se that, except for the help she gets from the officers' wives et 'he menthij dancus that she gives and from the officers in the matter of requisitions and practical fnvers for the men, Miss Smith very wisely con fines herself te caring for the interests of the non-commissioned emcers and the soldiers She has a speaking acquaintance with some POO of these and a very hnppy nnd congenial friendship with ninny of them They trust her with their secrets nnd their mishaps and mistakes ; they glve her their money te save for them; they let her dele out their allowance for cigaiettes and small needs; they discuss the news with her nnd retail te her the gossip; they devour her pepers nnd magazines and nre her cheerful nnd hungry guests, and best of all, thej go out of their way te fulfil! nil her wants for the odd Jobs about Ihe house and make n great point of her Christmas present from the let of them. They value her dignity nnd refinement and never trespass en her kindness knowingly When they nre --Ick or very homesick they go te her like forlorn little boys for the sheer comfort of telling n woman their dis tresses. It is n great and geed personal work she and her sister are doing and a hnppy one for all concerned. fer W-flWsW c.t, ' .
