to be president cf the I'nited States,
any I'nele Tom's Cabin company

:o:
Senator Urandegee, republican,
wanted Klihu Root's opinion as to
whether the senate's inquiry into
the possession of unoiTicial copies of
the peace treaty had "done any
damage" and got it. "I cannot see
that any damage has been done un
less it be through withdrawing the
attention of the senate from the very
serious questions before it," Mr.
Root replied.
-:o:
Some reactionary republican sen
ators would have us and all the
world besides believe that the only
interest this country has in foreign
nations is interest on American In
vestments. And still they seem to
forget that peace must precede pros
perity, here and abroad; that we
can not recover our trade with Eur
ope until, with our help, Europe has
re-established peaceful, permanent
governments.

so much explanation as a black eye.

testify.
:o:
German recalcitrance toward the
peace terms followed republican op
position to the league of nations
and the senatorial attack on Presi

have had the relation, but they cer

and effect.

. :o:
The only serious cff'Tt ever mad
to end the war has been given the
endorsement of thirty-two nation.--.
It is generally -conceded that the
league of nations has little chance
of succes without the participation
of tho I'nited States. The partici
pation must be with the approval of
the senate. Is it within the bounds
of possibility that the hostility of a
few republicans, inspired by parti-
sanism to one man, th? president, is
going ta defeat the plan to end war?

During the first six months of
1919 the railroads of the I'nited
States carried 4,276,94! troops on
special and regular trains. In ad
dition two million officers and en
listed men made railroad trips while
on furlough. Approximately one
million men also traveled to their
homes from camps. The aggregate,
therefore, was approximately seven
and one-quarter millions.
The average Journey of the troops
carried on special trains during that
ncriod was 6G0 miles. For other
military passengers the length of
the average trip is not available. As
suming that the general average
Journey was 500 miles, the seven
and one-fourth millions of soldiers
made approximately
,000.000
wassenjrer-miles. While the final
figures for June are not yet avail
able it is estimated that that the
pa?senger-milcs of civilian passeug
ers in the six-month period were sp
oilt so early.
