HOLDING BACK THE
BARBARIANS

France is likely to make an effort
in the peace conference to establish
the Rhine as the permanent western
boundary OF Germany. The armistice
gives the allies temporary control
not only ol all the territory up to
/ The Rhine but OF the important
/ bridgeheads and a considerable area
around them on the east bank. 1t Is
possible that this arrangement will
stand indefinitely, except for the re-
turn OF the bridgehcads when Ger
many has fulfilled her war obliga-
tions.
The reason for such a policy is
well expressed by General Malleterre,
the French military critic. He holds
that the Rhine is the natural defense
of western Europe against Germany
and that whenever the Germans have
been allower to cross that barrier
thev have made trouble. "All our
misfortunes," he says, "all the sor-
rows of this war, came about be-
cause Prussia, as mistress OF the
German people, established herself
on the west bank of the Rhine and
was able to concentrate a formidable
army. created in a spirit OF aggres-
sion and conquest, in the Rhine
provinces and in Alsace-Lorralne.
There must be no German soldiers
on the lett bank OF the Rhine
Alsace-Lorraine is already taken
care Of. 1t is returned to France,
and the peace conference will make
the transfer legal and final. But
what of the Rhine Paltinate, be-
tween Lorraine and the KLINE!
And what of the other provinces to
the north, now a part OF Prussia
1t may seem unnecessarily severe
70 wrest the Palatinate from Ger
many. 1t may be argued that France
with Alsace-Lorraine, is Adequately
protected, especially il Lorraine IS
advanced eastward little to the
banks OF the Saar. The real danger
area is the region bounded by the
Noselle on the south, the Rhine on
the east and HuXemburg. Belgium
and Holland on the west--a wedge
averaging about 40 miles wide and
l2O miles long, narrowing to point
at the northern end where the Rhine
enters Holland.
The peace conference may serious
w consider making this territory
neutral state, under the protection
of the allies or of the proposed
League of Nations.
Mere is another possibility that
is still more interesting. 1t might be
ceded to Belgium, in partial com
pensation for all she has suffered at
the hands of Germany. There would
be a fine poetic justice, too, in let
ting Belgians rule over Germans
if such sovereignty could be recon-
ciled with the principle of "seli-de-
termination of peoples"

CAPTAIN PATTERSON
WRITES Of HIS WORK

The Rev. J. G.. Patterson, 2l
Fourth avenue, northwest, received
the following letter from his son,
Capt. Il. w. Patterson, with the
American Expeditionary Forces in
France, who enlisted in the service
at Ardmore in April, 1917, and sailed
overseas as Captain OF r. Company

often right on the front line) and

A STATESMAN AND A JOKE.

The difference between 4 Scriou.
statesman and a serious joke in tho
place where a statesman ought to
be was exemplified vividly in con,
gress yesterday. The news columns
OF the Ardmoreite told OF the dit.
ference without expressly pointing
it out. \ serious statesman was
represented by Congressman Mann
republican leader OF the house. y
serious joke was represented by Sem
ator Sherman, also republican,
but 4 leader only in the sense OF
leading astray the semi-thoughts OF
the unthinking.
Eoth the statesman and the Joke
are from Illinois. as it happens,
though in the essentials OF states
manship they are antipodean oppo-
sites. Representative Mann as his
party house leader most mantuIIY
set forth that it was not the purpose
OF the republican minority as i
body SO embarrass the president
while he is abroad. Senator Shet-
man as an individual introduced
.;llv resolution to declare the Office
di president vacant upon President
Wilson'S departure and have the
;;ce-president assume the functions
ii the executive. Then he spoke
10" his resolution in terms which
m,de the senate. the gallery, the
gallery gods and all the other goIS
laugh. ii a horse could laugh 1t
would have laughed to hear senator
Sherman's speech.
If think the American people
would not be in sympathy with any
attempt to pin-prick the president
while he is away on such an I'M
portant mission said Serious
statesman Mann. The president
OF the United States is not the pres
ident in 4 foreign land said Serious
loke Sherman. Compare the two .
statements and make your own
conclusion.
We have called Senator Sherman
serious joke. Anywhere but IN
4 post oi such responsibility as the
one he holds but does not I'LL ne
would be simply joke, unqualified;
but as senator of the United
States we contend that he Is a
serious Joke.
Once there was 4 man named
Lincoln who inhabited the state
from which this joke and tins
statesman hail. That man Lincoln
knew a joke when he heard ii or
saw it, and we arise to remark that
if he had been present yesterday
to see and hear Lawrence 1aWp
Sherman of his old home town he
would have laughed along with the
rest of men and gods; but he would
have smiled mournfully all to him
self afterward, in recognition or the
seriousness of the joke
The american people, regardless
of party, have come to respect
ames X. Mann as 4 valuable asset
in congress. A great many of them
already had come TO look upon Law
renee Y. Sherman as a political mis-
take. Now they and many others ,
will recognize him as political !
oke and a serious one.
The war is separating the wheat >
from the chaff. Mr.. Sherman OF
Springfield is blown to the four +
winds, being lighter than air. a

DECEMBER 1 SET ASIDE
AS CONSERVATION Sunday

United States Food Administrator
Herbert Hoover has called upon the
American people to set aside Decem-
Der / as Conservation Sunday"
During that week there will be dis
tributed to each home In the United
States a new home card, indicating
the 191S-1919 program for food con-
servation. In order that the impro-
tant features of this vital program be
presented Mr.. Hoover has prepared
a message to be read in all churches
on December and Federal Food ADJ
ministrator Bicknell will request all
denominations In Idaho to observe
the day with conservation service
following the reading Of the mes
sage.
When the interallied food council
was held last stonmer and the needs
Of the allies we're computed 1t was
found that America must this COM
ing year send for our armed forces
and the allies half as much again OF
food supplies as last year. Instead
of eleven and three-quarters million
tons the shipments this year will be
seventeen and one-half million tons.
I'VE are pledged to send so per
cent more food and from substan-
TALLY the same suppliese as last year
SO the necessity exists to increase our
conservation to accomplish the re-
suits" says Administrator Bicknell.
"The interallid council was told by
Mr.. Hoover that whatever the war
food program Of the allies required
would be met by the United States.
This is therefore an obligation
measured In the terms of human life
that rests on every American.
Last year the food administration
was meeting one emergency after an
other % 1t arose, but this year it will
be a long steady pull directed to the
whole food situation and not so much

The specific charge made is that
Davis in conversation with farmers
near Moscow and in the presence of
TWO witnesses said ''the capitalists

other countries in war met in Berlin
and framed this war. You don't

These bonds are nothing but graft.
Let those who framed the war buy
the bonds. The government is stand

only get per cent for your money.
The banks charge you per cent for
the money"
1t is further alleged that when
Davis was asked about the Red Cross
he said, "The Red Cross is all right,
but you don't know if the money goes
to the right place"
The complaint alleges the utter

CONGRESSMAN SMITHS RECORD

Addison T. Smith of Twin Falls,
who has been renominated for con-
gress in the primaries without op-
position, has actively supported the
governments plans for preparedness
and consistently sustained the presi-
dent in all his recommendation for,
the enactment Of emergency legisla-
ton. and ample appropriations for
the conduct Of the war. He is the
author Of a bill which has attracted
the attention of the leaders of both
branches of congress and Is strongly
recommended by Secretary Lane for
enactment next session, to provide.
farms for, returning soldiers on re-
claimed arid, swamp and cut-over
lands, under the provision of which
soldiers and sailors will have the pre-
ference right of employment and en-
try.
Congressman Smith has been ac-
tive in support of prohibition. legisla-
tion, woman's suffrage, rural credits,
the fixing of price for wheat, which
will encourage ample production and
give the farmers a fair profit. He
has also advocated legislation to reg
.ulate the price Of farm machinery,
vehicles, harness and other COM
modities farmers have to buy. He
has specialized on the enactment Of
legislation for the benefit Of settlers
on the public land and has several
laws Of this character to his credit. 4
He initiated and carried to sue
cessful conclusion legislation pr0vid-
ing for the government to take over
the King Hill Irrigation project, for
which 100000 was appropriated,
saving to the settlers their homes
and earnings of years. A bill which
he introduced over a year ago has
been made the basis OF systematic
plan, strongly endorsed by the adj
'ministration, to encourage private
capital to invest in irrigation bonds,
where the projects are constructed
by the reclamation service, under
which the Bruneau, North Side Mini
doko, Fort Hall and other proposed
irrigation projects will be con-
structed. His prompt and intelligent
attention to the requests OF his con-
stituents has attracted to him large
personal following regardless of poll
tics, who are interested in his re-
election. adv.
