PRESIDENT WILSON'S
SPEECH

Following is a little extract
from our great Presidents speech
which was delivered at Phila-
delphia Monday before a crowd
of 1000 newly made American
citizens:
MY urgent advice to you
would be not only always to think
first of America, but always to
think first Of humanity. You do
not love humanity If you seek to
divide humanity into jealous
camps. Humanity can be
welded together only by love, by
sympathy, by justice, not by
jealousy or hatred. ! am sorry
for the man who seeks to make
personal capital out of the pas
sions Of his fellow men. He has
lost the touch and ideal Of Ameri-
ca, for America was created to
unite mankind by those passions
which lift, and not by the pas
sions which separate and debase.
II certainly would not be one
even to suggest that a man cease
to love the home of his birth,
he said. but it is one thing tc
love the place where you
were born and another thing to
dedicate yourself to the place to
which you go. You cannot be.
come thorough Americans if you
think Of yourselves in groups
The man who goes among you te
trade upon your nationality is moi
worthy to live under the stars
and stripes.
THE example of Americ,
must be a special example. The
Example Of America must be tn,
example, not merely of peace be
cause it will not fight, but O
peace because peace is the heal
ling and elevating influence o
the world and strife is not.
/ There is such a thing as [
man being too proud to fight
There is such a thing as a nation
being 80 right that it does no
need to convince others by fore
that it is right"

LITTLE "BITS" FROM A TOUR
OUT WEST 81
The Following Article Published in
the Tyler Herald was Written
by Our Former Towns
man, kr. II. Duus.
Continued from last week.

From Los Angeles | went to
the new Danish colony, Solvang,
in Santa Barbara county, about
100 miles north of Los Angeles.
The road to Solyang follows the
Pacific coast nearly all the way
and it makes a nice trip. On the
way we passed the station of Bur-
bank and it is here where the
great plant wizard lives. The
largest city in Santa Barbara
county is Santa Barbara and this
is where our old friend Mr.. H. J.
Nielsen has put up for good, so |
was going to see him and he was
not hard to find. He has a nice
place, and his garden is especial
ly fine orange and lemon trees
right at his door. He was not at
home, but | was shown where |
could find him, and found he
and Mr.. Harting grubbing olive
trees. Mr.. Harting had just
come to Santa Barbara county
and purchased 5 or 6 acres of land
and was going to plant this to
lemon trees. They both seemed
very we'll contented, and we will
not look for either Of them back
to Tyler very soon to stay. San
ia Barbara is surely a nice place
| to live, right on the ocean, neither
too warm nor too cold.
! From Santa Barbara you can
take an automobile to Solvang,
about Is miles. went by way
of railroad to Gaviota, and from
there a stage goes to Solvang
through the coast range OF
mountains, the town being about
| IL miles from the ocean.
| In Solvang some of our former
old settlers are making their
home, viz: Marcus Nielsen, en-
gagged in general merchandise
and hardware; Jacob Aasted,
farming; Paul Petersen, retired
| farmer; Thorvald Duus, farming;
Miss X. Jensen, who first took
care Of our orphans home here
and Mrs. Rev. Mylund Jensen
from South Dakota and some
young people who used to be at
Danebod.
There is quite a settlement at
Solvang which was started by
Rev. J. M. Gregersen, Prof. P,
Hornsyld and Rev. B. Nordentoft
: Hornsyld should be well remem.
, bered as he was at one time pro-
fessor at Danebod.
In Solvang fruit grows wei
, and grain also and the people are
mostly engaged in general farm
ing. They have the most healthy
climate that have seen. 1t is
= too cold to raise corn, but warn
enough to raise fruit and ever
. oranges.
Rev. B. Nordentoft has bull
a college similar to Daneboc
where about forty students were
enrolled the past winter. Miss
:. Agnes Brons, well-known as in
structor from Danebod, is &
teacher. Solvang is a pleasant
Mace to Stay at.

There will be a complete change of photo plays at this theatre today and the feature is The Soul of a Woman a five part Metro production with the celebrated emotional actress, Emily Stevens star of the big New York success, Today which was seen at this theatre last season. The following is brief synousis of The Soul of a Woman:
 l Standish, an artist, uses Mary, his ! wife as the model for his painting of the Madonna. When the conniosseur and the parishioner come to inspect the picture, the connoisseur recognizes in the model an old paramour and tells the husband so. The husband while surprised, fails to disclose his identity, and the visitors purchase the picture After their departure the artist up- ibraids his wife. She tells him of her long acquaintance with the connois- seur and how for five years, she be- IHeved herself legally married to him. But the husband, unforgiving, turns sher and her infant son out into the street.
 The mother leaves her baby on the steps of a monastery with a crucifix bearing her name. Then she enters a squalid resort known as the House of Lost Souls" and becomes it's reign ing queen.
 ! Seventeen years later the boy is a novice in the monastery. Before be- coming a monk he wants to see the world. Father Anthony gives con- sent and the lad wanders into the House of Lost Souls of which his mother is now the proprietress. There the novice meets Lust, Rum, Passion, fAvarice and Beauty. They try their wiles in vain. Finally he succumbs to Beauty. The proprietress enters their ribald revels, takes the lad to her room and finding the crucifix, learns that he is her son. Without disclos- ing her identity, she tells him to 20 back. When he is gone she re- nounces her companions. Then she falls fainting.
 Eight years later the boy is a parish priest. In a fearful storm an old hag enters the church. It is the mother, She sees above the altar the painting of the Madonna for which she posed, and recognizes her son by the crucif1x he still wears. The son gives the mother abso1ution, as the Angel of Death enters and bears off her spirit,

FUTURE PROSPECTS OF
 JAPANESE FINANCE.
The Present the Best Chance For Japan to Liquidate Her Foreign Debt.

Tokio, Dec. 21.-''Be a creditor coun- try" is the slogan of Baron Kenjiro Den, prominent member of the house of peers, with reference to the future prospects of Japanese finance. The Baron in an interview, expresses won der why Japans financial authorities do not believe in the advisability of the redemption of foreign debts at this op- portunity. He says that the present is not only the best chance for Japan to Hquidate her foreign debt. but also the time to rep1rchase any domestic bonds which have passed into the hands of fogeigners.
 this war will end, but it is quite cer- tain that if 1t lasts much longer, for eign holders of Japanese securities will be compelled to dispose of them. For this reason Japanese bonds will decline in market value. When this happens, Japan should not hesitate to purchase them. Japan's ambition in the future must be, as far as fiance is concerned, to get rid of the heavy for, eign debts and then become a creditor country. To attain such ambition, it is first of all necessary that the heavy debts be paid off, The next important step is to become a big industrial country. There are pessimists who say that the present business prosperity is solely due to the circumstances creat- ed by the war, an daS soon as peace is restored and European industry re- sumes normal conditions Japan will again be beaten in competition
 But the Baron is of opinion that
