we caL attention to the fact that the
general public may now command the
services Of Mr. Koran that were here
tOfore devoted to county business.
1t was in October, 1913, that Lester
j. Koran was admitted to the bar
while in the employ of La Sale
County in the capacity of secretary
to the probate judge. He has con
tinued as servant Of the county in
thar capacity up to the present time.
Since the death Of Judge Lardin he
has served the county with marked
distinction and has been invited by
the present elected judge, Hon. X. d.
Mills, to remain, but has determined
to enter the general practice.
We feel that those who know Mr.,
Koran best are best able to bespeak
his worth, and We can thus relate a
compliment Judge Lardin paid to him.
In the spring of 1914 Judge Lardin
had determined at one time that he
would not be q candidate to succeed
himself. Being intimately acquainted
with the integrity and sterling quail
ties OF MIR. Koran, and in making
known his own determination, Judge
Lardin advised his friends that in his
place and stead and as his successor
he favored the election Of Lester ].
Koran withou. opposition, and this re-
/ CARELESS Of the difference in the po-
litiCal views OF the men. JUDGE
I.ardin had faith in this young mans
ability to conduct the WORK at which
he had become an adept. Since the
vacancy in March, 1917, La Sale
County bar, and through it the public
have been served efficiently and many
a complex probate problem has beer
handled by Mr. Koran. His Judgment
has been relied upon in impot;ln
matters. Through his untiring ef
forts the former standard Of the wort
in the Probate Court has been main
tanned.
Since being admitted to the bar, il
addition to serving Jhe county witt
credit, Mr. Koran has conducted nu
merous proceedings in other courts
Mr. Koran reels that he should de

FREEDOM Of THE SEA-
MAY DELAY PEACE.

Paris, Nov. 30.--None OF the neu-
trails that plan representation here
al the peace conference at this time
nave made reservations. 1t is ex.
pected, however, that the Scandina-
Wan countries will have delegates
here, as they are deeply interested in
the freedom of the seas problem
which President Wilson declared
should be one of the peace detectives.
There is no tendency here to search
for controversy in the Jugo-Slav and
Italian situations, because ii might
stir up discussions on these points be
fore the conference really gets under
way Only the enemy would bcAetit
by any such advance discussions
The French public, knowing that
the return OF Alsace and Lorraine is
achieved, are now most Interested
in the matter of making the lIohenzol-
Tern dynasty personally pay the cost
OF the war
Ii IL still believed here that a ire
mendous amount OF work must be &C
complished in the peace preliminaries,
and. in view of the unstable condition
of the German government belief was
expressed In some quarters today that
the peace conference may not be
under way until the middle of Jan
uary.

theirs, even to lack of sleep and food,
and yet they kept pressing forward
with dauntless spirit, that spirit that
'ries out, You may take my life, but
never my liberty
And then came the day of their
last battle. They pressed forward
With the same spirit and fought with
every ounce of energy they possessed
lntil they fell. And as they lay on
the battlefield with the shells shrek
ing overhead they we'll knew that be-
fore many minutes they would be ush-
cred into the presence of their Gre
ator and they thought of mother,
home and you, And though the fact
that they could not say goodbye to
mother father, brother or sister caus-
ed them poignant grief, yet they died
with that comforting feeling that
theirs had been a life well spent,
They realized that the complete and
Jest life in this mortal world is not nee
essarily the long life, for they had ac-
.omplished more in their short exist
9nce than you or | if we should live
20 three score and ten years.
Those that gave their lives in bat
lie are no more deserving Of your
praise or mine than those who died
at the camps within the United States,
'or what can man do greater than to
offer his life to his country.
Ottawa is proud to be able to
claim those boys as her sons. but we,
as members of Starved Rock Council
Of the Knights of Columbus, know
that they are nearer and dearer to US
as brothers. Our service flag with its
sold, silver and blue stars will be
cherished by us as the most valuable
Of all of our possessions, for in il
we have a silent testimonial to all the
world showing our splendid record OF
service and devotion to God and coun
try.
Let us live as they died allowing
nothing to turn us from the principles
of right and justice. Our flag, oul
church and our order should be as
precious to us as life itself. Wher
| the living of such a life calls for sac
rifce and the giving up of pleasures
| let us but think of the beautiful sacri
flee they made, in order that the
Stars and Stripes might play its par
in the overthrowing of autocracy ant
Prussianism and establishing worlC
democracy. Let us tonight remember
the souls of our deceased brothers il
prayer, not grieving but asking tn,
lord to instill in us the same degree
Of faith, loyalty and fidelity as was
theirs"
