Cafeo have 1 een open and theaters t.lled night after night. Newspapers'. until re cently, have published with restraint such articles as they desired, while crowds promenaded the streets until . midnight and even later. The Ger- • mans'had come to believe that su« n •-nndfttens would.continue. and while there were no serious incidents as -t >esult of the tolerant rule of the Americans. it was deemed best to check any tendency toward abus?. The regulations published were signed by General James W. Mc- Andrew. chief of staff, “by com mand of General Pershing.” In drafting them an citort was made .o avoid the inclusion of any rules which would merely humiliate the Populations or which savored of re- I taliation or revenge.

Another question is: I Which is paramount: The welfare j«of the party men who want to keep ; ; in power or the survival of these ■ i ideals which Wilson has expressed. 1 Conceivably thej' might coexist. But, ! if one or the other must yield, the : i American public will see which way : to throw its strength. Wilson has had to light polities in his own party before now. Some <>t i I the most reactionary members of 1 congress are members from the old ; I : outh.
