TIih whole European Mil nation changed. After seven years of post war wrangling. recrliiilna lion. suspicion. Intrigue and mill . lary plotting Europeans seem at last to have discovered that dis cord does not pay and thut peace is (he common merest of all. In the clow of tliis suddenly realU.il common Interest, fundamental dif ferences of viewpoint have dis solved like mist. (tormnny has discovered that France is not aiming at Germany's deal ruction. France has discov ered that Germany Is interested in something oilier than revenge. Po land has discovered that neither (?real Hrltain nor (formany in as fundamentally anti-Polish' as It ?has supposed. Tho Kuropean idea has taken Itn place -beside Ihe fnerely national idea. Chancellor Lutcbcr's words on Mhe opening day of the conference ?that Europe must organize itself Jn order to keep its rank among the continents has awakened an echo in all European countries. The last vestige of invidious dis tinction between victors and van quished has disappeared. The Germans have gained social and polli leal equality and the way is open for genuine co-operative re construct ion. If the Locarno agreements are duly ratified by the parliaments as every one seems to expect, the , specific results of the conference will he somewhat as follows: (formally will enter the League ,of Nations at a" special meeting of -the League Assembly In the near ?future and the League will there 'b.v be greatly strengthened. A network of compulsory urbl-j tration treaties, coordinated with' the league, will makg war almost Impossible. The resultant feeling of secur ity will open the way for the long desired disarmament conference. immediate amelioration of the Franco-German and Franco Hrltlah relations will enable the League to call an internal lonal economic conference. Allied evacuation of (he Hhlneland will he hastened and Germany will formally renounce the Idea of re gaining Alsace I<orralnc. Peaceful readjustments of cer tain details of Germany's eastern frontiers will be rendered easier, while theoretically maintained. The French system of alllancec. will he brought definitely under the control of the league con ference and will doubtless gra dually disappear. As for Soviet Russia, which Is now the only powef still seeking to disturb the general peace, it will he isolated. Within the next couple of years It will have to de clare Itself definitely for peace or war. At the same lime there is a confident feeling that Ihe Amerl- I can financial and economic co-op* | ?ration with Europe will he stim ulated and thut American polltl-J cal co operation with th? league will he rendered easier and more continuous. j SUPREMK COUNCIL OF Masonry in session Washington.

MOWKKi: (Co#?ri#nt. IV}), By TH? Atftancri Merlin. Oct. 19. ? The cnali'Ht political eveut since I he pcucc con ffhuce Is nver and all Get many is 1 secret ly or openly r 'jolcing. The change wince rritlay is striking. The Germans cntinldiT they have undergone ho many disillusions that (hey hesitate to believe any thing can really fall to iheir favor bn( today things are looking rosier (than in seven long yearn and the - German spirit Is beginning to .soar. Already the effect on the stock exchange* is striking. It. 'ginning last week I he German hanks began receiving orders for Cernian stocks from buyers In America. England and Switzerland. This marks a new phase, as for months ? German Industries have been the subject of deep suspicion. Now it Ik hoped that the neediest Indus tries will obtain loans and credits of which iliey are so much In need. The political feeling is glorious. Even the surly nationalist* have jtn admit their evil predictions have not been realized. The writer has not the slightest I doubt that the Reichstag will ac cept the Locarno results, especial ly if In the meantime the new Rhineland arrangement and evac uation of Cologne have been car ried out. Paris Takes Little Note Of Locarno I Financial Crisis So Grave I France Can See Noth ing Else lly rONHTANTIXK ItltOWX ICa?>ntht. IV29. U? Th? Atfvanrel Paris, Oct. 19.- -Had the l^ocar no conference taken place alx mouths earlier, its results un doubtedly would have brought a feeling of Intense relief and hap*, plness throughout France. As It Is, a very grave financial situation Is causing so much III feeling that the achievements of the diplomats at Locarno panned almost un ? noticed. Public opinion is more interest Ied in the steady drop of the franc and all the government bonds than in the security pact which the Cermans have agreed to sign. The j newspapers, especially those favor ing the government, are endeavor ing to make a diversion by giving much space to the eventual con sequences of the Locarno treaties, forecasting the formation or II ; I'nlted States of Europe to coun I terbalance the United States of j America. They profess to see In I such a union formation of an eco i nomic bloc to save the European states from the economic slavery with which the Yanks are threat ! enlng them. More conservation papers are less enthusiastic, pointing out that racial differences, together with conflicting economic*, interests renders such a union Impossible for at least another hundred years. French official circles al ways inclined to doubt German sincerity, and looking for a "Jok ler" In any proposition coming from across the Rhine, are opti mistic for the first time since the war, admitting that Germany is ? sincere and more than likely will, I respect the new arrangements.

Those who doubt the eventual pacific effect of ! I^ocarno treaties consist, first, of j ardent advocates of the league of Nations who fear the aim of these new pacts and treaties Is to su persede the League and establish . a now form of Kuropean dlplo 1 macy by a network of private I treaties which will lead as easily I |f> war as to peace. ! Another class of skeptics is ? composed of socialists, liberals and others who believe that Britain merely agreed to secure peace on the Whine, whereas the real threats of disturbances come from i eastern Kurope. In their minds Vj^icarno produced a piece of op portunist diplomacy which satis fied for the moment but leaves the future in peril. On the positive side there Is cpnslderable rejoicing over the An I al conclusion of peace. Britain 1 pledged herself to defend either JCermany or Prance against un i warranted agression from one side or the other, thereby allevl uting Ho rope's most ancient and dangerous feud.
