LORD CRolGER SAYS GERMANY
MUST WORK OWN SALVATION

London. May s.--''what We sre
fighting for" u popular subject OF
discussion In all the beiiis erent coun-
tries. Here 10 Lord cromer's idea:
my own Views ~ regards the mi. in
object for which we arp nghting may
b embodied IN three simple PROPOSE
tons. The first Of theso II that
there can be no prospect Of . durable
peace 70 long ~ uncontrolled Junk
erdom reigns supreme in Germany.
The second II that any change In the
direction Of bringing Junkerdom un-
der sff3ctive control must be the work
OF the Germans themselves. Even II
tho Germans were completely van
pushed. II would be a fatal error
to endeavor to impose from without
any internal reforms on Germany.
The capital error made at the time
OF the Declaration Of Phillnitx must
not be repeated. Tho third 10 that
we need not and should not continue
the struggle for mere military glory,
or to humiliats Germany, or, In the
German ChAnoeilor's words, to OBJ
struct the evolution OF Germany, or
even to avenge the cruel misdeeds
perpetrated by the German army with
the consent and appreciation Of its
commanders. But we cannot, IN Jus
tice to ourselves to the rest Of Eu-
rope, and to posterity. lay down the
sword until the Germans are con-
verted, and until they wake up to the
fact that their present policy and sys-
tenn OF government constitute q ourss
both to themselves and the rest Of the
civilized world

CIGARETTES TO BOYS.

Kemosha saloonkeepers Fined for vio-
lating Law.
kenosha. Wis, May s.-Selling
cigarettes to minors in violation OF the
State law bids fair to be a thing Of
the past in KenoSha Not because
many dealers do not want to take the
nickels and dimes of school boys, but
because a real reformer has arisen
among the ranks of the boys them
selves IN the person OF Maceo Kueny,
ftfteen-year-old school pupil
Kueny marched into the police Of
flee and laid down evidence which
brought convictions and fines OF $26
and costs for two saloonkeepers who
had sold cigarettes and the making
to the youths friends.

points its finger at one of the
weak spots in our moving picture in
dustry Though ! do think we NOV
ing picture artists are always fore
most in our patriotism, trying
through so many photoplays to serve
our country and encourage others,
we have overlooked one grievous err
ror brought before us by these men
Of our navy. There are very few dia-
monds without flaws. and we build
upon the suggestions Of the public.
That is why we are so grateful for
letters such as the following:
II am writing you on matter
which is very difficult for me to ap-
proaeh you in in any other than this
manner, and ! earnestly hope that at
convenient time you will do US all
the Justice of reading this.
Elm many pictures the low, pitfaIl
dance hall is commonly staged as the
rendezvous for murderers, gangsters
and thieves (all in their respective
make-up). My objection is not to the
use of the dance hall of the type
mentioned, but on what grounds does
director of popular motion picture
company. in staging scene calling
for dance hall Of the very cheapest
and lowest type, dare to include in
his mob of 'roughneck' dancers a few
extras in the uniforms of United
States sailors and soldiers1 Miss
Pickford, must we men at this station
bring ourselves to believe that this
certain director is so pessimistie and
that he believes himself to be efficient
in his profession Many photoplays,
/ know. call for dance-hall scenes Of
the cheap type, but never did / think
that the uniform for which left my
home three years ago, and which my
mother and father. my wife and my
sister and all Of my friends hold in
such high respect, would be used by
a motion-pieture company as a means
of adding to the lowness of the cheap
dance hall scene.
Miss Pickford, when / attended a
local movie theater the other even
ing in company with my wife. and
saw in that photoplay that the very
uniform / was wearing was being
used before the public as a means Of
expressing degradation. no one can
realize what that scene meant to me.
! shall not describe it. as / know you
can imagine.
THE country needs men and is
calling for them now. but can you
wonder that SO few young men are
applying to serve the Stars and
Stripes! In any audience there are
mothers, sisters and sweethearts who
probably have boy serving his
country in one. of its military
branches. Can You imagine what an

This does not mean. however. that

minority = strictly political fight The

strongly dry. These will insist upon
the retention Of q prohibition section

Of the Senate.
The Senate conferees most prob
ably will be Hitchcock. of Nebraska;

however, that such a deadlock will

The outstanding facts. however. as
indicating the prohibition strength
In Congress are that the Senate
passed BY . good majority the prohi-

had this section come to . vote sep

TIED TO A HOME.


The owning of a home, fortune
greatly desired by every man, is
acheveable by most men. And yet the
proportion Of Americans who live in
rented quarters grows larger year by
year.
One of the prime reasons for this in
creasing tenancy is that an increasing
proportion Of earners are employees.
and being employed they wish to iioid
themselves free 10 move as better EN-
ployment may offer itself. To this hope
of better employment the hope of
home is easily sacrificed.
The fear OF being tied to home is
not uncommon in those who are not
employees. Some are not content to
settle down permanently, being lured
by the enchantment Of the beyond
that beyond being the other side OF the
continent. or the other side Of tho
street. Moving becomes a habit, made
easy by those whose business is trans
portation. But in the end the habit Is
expensive.
AS matter Of everyday demonstra :
ton, two facts stand forth: First. be-
ing tied to home is vastly more prof
liable than being footfr and home
less; and. second. the homeowner need
never be tied to his home in an unde-
sirable way.
Few men ever accumulate enough II
carry them thru life without first being
caught and tied up. Every well estab-
lished business is financial hitching
post. The business Of the life insur-
ance agent is to catch and tie those
who will not otherwise accumulate
Buying home while living in 1t is one
of the surest ways on earth to per-
suade a man to accumulate property.
But prudent man is not financially
hamperede by owning home. A home
wisely located, wisely built and wisely
cared for Is always fairly liquid as
! set. Somebody can be found willing to
pay full value for such property. Inc
| chances are that the property will have
increased In value steadily, even the
| the buildings grow older. Good judg-
ment in the building and care of 9
home always pays good dividends. a
! man too timid to build a home is sell
dom brave enough to build a fortune.

money back Of you while comfortable
is in fact handicap: that in spite Of
the croakers, most Of whom are fail
ures by reason of their own laziness
and thriftlessness. there never was so
many wide open gates for a youth that
sets out TO win and win right. Kid
Laver;y is merely an incident. There
isn't a town in Iowa that can count its
Kid Lavertys on its fingers. The bot

touch every square foot OF Iowa soil.
The horsemen have it right They
say that no matter how well colt is

must have the desire to go fast or he
will never get into the list. And
that is what puts the Kid Lavertys in
two minute classes. They have the
desire to go. they knew where they
want TO go and have the courage to
keep going.
However If Kid Laverty Sounds Irish
and red headed. doesn't it, is an Incl
dent he's good sort OF incident for a
hoy to notice He's something more
than an incident however. he's a cor
roboration.
