argued that as she dn net sumineii them,

The Slate I'epurllneiit, imweier, does net

cial Aiuerican representative will be -, t

wuieu Great llritnln, France and Italy will
participate. The decision is in respuuw) tt
aa Inritatiea fraat the Allies, who Lave thes
EVENING TUBLIG LEDGER
fur made no prevision for netting aside any
of the Indemnity funds for the United
States.
The amount new due Is approximately
$."1,00(1,000,000. It Is destined te grow grew
larger If prompt pajment Is net made, us
there Is still a contingent of American regu
lars In the nhlneland. The allied note sets
forth the willingness of our late associates
In the war te find a solution of the problem.
It Is unlikely that machinery for a set
tlement can be set In motion without in
trenching upon the general question et Ger
man reparations.
The prospect is unquestionably hard upon
the isolationists. It means American inter
ference In foreign affaire and direct co
operation with European Governments.
Eliet Wndswerth, Assistant S'.crctnry of
the Treasury nnd a specialist en the subject
of occupation costs, will be no mere looker looker
en at the parley. lie will be en a parity
with the Hrltlsh, Trench and Italian dele
gates nnd, like them, will report back te
the home Government for instructions when
the sessions arc closed.
The mixed commission en claims seen te
begin operations In Washington will con
cern itself only with reparations from Ger
many te American nationals, as the question
of these debts was net decided by the sepa
rate treaty of peace of 1.1-1.
Somehow American entanglements In
Europe seem te have begun in 1017, and,
notwithstanding the Senate, the association
is net .et ended.
LAWS OR REASON?
""VTOU are," cries M. (.iemenceau. ad
X dressing Americans in an unexpected
outburst of appreciative sentiment, "prison
ers of jour nobleness!" Perhaps. We xtill
net discuss thut issue in detail. Hut the
phrase is interesting because it draws atten
tion again te the fact that people arc gov
erned in most ease by subtle Impulses
eldem analyzed. It is the pint of wisdom
te knew this nnd te admit the deeply psy
chological basis of many of the problems
which, like that of the misused automobile,
seem te be the outgrowth of chance or
accident.
Thus Americans arc apt te be proud of
the habit of getting ahead in a hurry. Speed
is a passion with us in business, at lunch,
in getting rich and even in getting peer.
We are rather a headlong people even when
we aren't by any means sure of our desti
nation. The thing te de, if you believe the
people who nre our most insistent mhisers,
1 te hustle, te keep moving, te beat the
ether fellow te it. Ne one seems able te
explain what we are suppe-ul te accomplish
by all thi. and the man who is in the
greate-t hurry doesn't alwajs knew where
he i. bound.
Wc get along fairly well until motorcars
became plentiful. And we are beginning te
see tli.it our national characteristic of sliced
may be in some ways of little advantage.
When etery one tries te get ahead of every
one eKe en a city street or at a crowded
crossing lonfusien i sure te result. And
what, after all. is the u-e of bustling and
ruake-diincini; through P.read sireet trnthc
and risking .tour own and oilier people's
lives if toil bate te step with the crowd, as
you alwats must, at the end of the stretch
where the red light is?
Seme such question might be thing at the
whole modern generation of Ann rictus, at
the people who wall; a well as the people
who ride in motorcars.
Meanwhile, some one ought te tell the
people who are irting out for triiter nnel
stricter traffic laws that, titltii liiet perceive
the s.tmptems of ei .-ss nervous energy at
the root of what the.t call the motorcar prob
lem the j will get nowhere. All the laws
that could be crowded into statute books
would be of little use in tin effort te make
the streets safer for everybody if it s im
possible te i euvui. e the atirage man that
huirj often can be a waste of time. Now New
ada.t s the people w he once traveled from
