FEELING OF FRENCH PEOPLE

The French people are utterly on
posed to any league of nations which
will include Germany. After seeinp
what they have seen, and feeling what
they have felt, they cannot be blamed
Tor being IN that state of mind. French
men declare that Germany has bv her
own acts made herself an outcast and
parlah among nations, and must in
the nature OF things remain So. Pre-
mler Clemenceau's paper asks "eWhat
mead of a state would ever consent TO
put his name at the foot of a treaty.
with that of the criminal and living
Hohenzollernl Can such possibility
be imagined as the loyal President
wilson accepting from the hands of
the Hohenzollern the pen with which
to sign a pact of the reconciliation of
their peoples!' The Paris Temps saws:
80 long as Germany remains what
she IS, she excludes herself by her own
act from any society of nations which
she cannot herself control after the
Prussian manner. To try and convince
her by argument of the necessity of
giving up the religion of force and re-
linquishing the spirit of war is illusorv.
To try and create league in which
would be found alike freemen and
serfs, victim and executioners. those
who have suffered and those who have
not expiated their crimes, would be a
thunder"
This is the state of mind of the
French nation at the present time. 1t
can be removed only when Germany
has experienced an utter change of
heart. an acknowledgment of her sins
and repentance so profound as to
transform her character. Not until
this comes about will France and Bel
GUM hold out hands in forgiveness
Character cannot be changed in day.
Germany IS not to be changed from a
beast of prey into an angel of light in
day. 1t is one of the punishments of
her crimes to be stunned by the ma
tions of the world, and cast out of
their society. Germany knows that she
has done that which has forfeited their
friendship and goodwill. 1t is going
20 take long time for her to re-
establish herself in new character
She has as yet shown no disposition
toward repentance. The feeling of
France is not inspired by mere desire
of revenge, it is that of nation suf-
fering under great wrong

Rock rooster have won prizes"
"We're the prize winners, as 1 said
before" said Mr.. Plymouth Rock. "Yes
we're the ROSTERS worth going a LONG
way to see. We can crow with a
feeling of satisfaction. We can crow
because we are entitled to crow. We
have so much to be proud of. So
much, so much" he repeated.
And then he crowed, and Mr.. White
Wyandotte crowed, as well as all of
their cousins. Such a noise as they
made, but indeed they all were beau

many fine prizes.

"We're all prize winners, cock-a-

all the others.
But many Of the other ROSTERS
thought they were just as handsome
and the noise that came from the big
nail where the poultry show was held
was quite terrific. But at least all
who wanted to see ROSTERS knew for
some distance around where they could
be seen-for they were well heardi

When the Steamship Ell Occidente
was attacked by two submarines, the
gun crew of the ship not only saved
their vessel but gave the enemy fight

out of commission. This guard was in

so quickly that the U-boats had to dis

on the part of the navy armed guards
that is quickly settling the submarine

Won Kuehlmann's statement that
there is no hope of military victory
for either side in this war goes about
half way to admitting that Germany
viii be defeated. This is the first ac-
acknowledgement that any German civil
or military official has made that the
allies are invincible. They have all
heretofore claimed clear victory for
German armies as inevitable. Won
Kuehlmann's speech should be regarded
by the allies as hopeful sign.
