award OF the CroiX de Guerre which
our soldiers are unable to accept Of
dcially. such recognition is a very
powerful incentive to gallant troops
in action. 4 number of our men
have won the Croix de Guerre in
previous service under the French
and are not permitted 10 wear them
since entering our army. Both the
French and British governments
would permit their troops TO wear
our campaign badges and would ac-
cept our decorations. There is no
good reason why we should not be
empowered TO bestow decorations on
the French and British entitled TO
them especially when serving along
side Of our troops, and we should
accept theirs. Decora tions carefully
bestowed would contribute to good
feeling and closer relations with our

THE SOUTH TAKES
ANOTHER TRICK

The Craftsmanship of the Senate
committee on interstate commerce,
made vacant by the death of Senator
Newlands of Nevada, goes to Mr..
Smith of South Carolina, and not to
Mr.. Pomerene of Ohio. Thus the South
v~indicates it's title to control and
leadership. Ohio voted for Wilson
last time and reelected Senator Pome-
rene; but neither of these things
weighs in the balance when Southern
claims are advanced. When the DEM
ocracy rules at Washington it rules
through Southern agents. No North
erner now holds a Craftsmanship of
first rank in the House; and but one
Northerner holds any such place in
the Senate.

The Matterhorn.

The Matterhorn was the favorite
peak of those who event in" for the
hazardous sport of mountain climbing
in the Swiss Alps. Now reports say
that there is no more mountain climb
ing being done. 1t is easy enough to
CUES why, writes Niksah. For those
who went around the world looking
for hazardous occupations before the
war there is now no need to make ex-
tended search, to stop at expensive
hotels, or to hire a retlnue of guides.
Nineteen nations offer the ~adventurer
more or less of a salary along with
board, lodging and hospital facilities
for the pleasure of risking his neck.
No wonder mountain climbing has
fallen off.
There are those who say that 1t
will never again regain its old high
estate. They rather think aviation
will attract most of the devotees who
survive the war. But your true noun
taineer laughs at such a suggestion.
For him there is no thrill to replace
the one he feels as he swings by his
fingertips over a 500-foot drop.

MAY KEEP ENGAGEMENT RING
Jersey City Judge Rules in Favor Of
Girl Whose Intended Sought
Return Of Sparkler.

There can be no Indian givers on
the Jersey side of the Hudson, so
ruled a judge in Jersey City, writes a
New York correspondent. AS a result
Of the decision a young swain is out
a $50 diamond ring, which he wanted
a b~lue-eyed, petite blonde to return to
him.
The two were engaged, and, according
to custom, he placed the sparkler In
question on her left hand. They then
quarreled because she, according to
his testimony, preferred the tango, jazz
and foxtrot to sitting on a sofa and dis
cussing their future. Therefore he
broke off the engagement and demand
ed his presents back.
The judge was called upon to decide
whether an engagement ring was a
gift outright or merely a gift contin-
gent upon the fulfillment of a promise
to wed. The court then arranged a
little Solomon judgment" skit that
worked to perfection, so far as the
Judge and the young woman were con-
cerned.

ERRORS

Where do you get the absurd facts
you print?' is a favorite query put to
newspaper men. In view Of these
cynics, newspapers spend most OF
their time misspelling names, ina
ginning incidents that never happened
and generally manhandling life as it is
led.
There is just one answer to be
made to the query above, and that Is:
Newspapers get such of their facts
as are absurd from the absurd human
beings who for n reason or a thou
sand refuse to relate facts accurate
ly." Newspapers, truth telling news
papers, spend a large part of their
time correcting these Measurements,
running them to their source. and get
ting al the truth. A certain proper
ton of errors get by-not as great
a proportion as can be heard in any
village neighborhood gossip. for it is
the concern of newspapers, of honest
ones, that is, to allow for errors and
correct them, whereas it is the con-
Germ of those other purveyors of
news, gossips. to create errors when
ever they are more interesting than
the truth.
The next time you find an error in
your favorite newspaper, try an ex-
pertinent. Try to capture n small
fact yourself, in your own homo
town. You will quickly discover just
how vary a bird the truth is and
how very unpopular.-New York
Tribune.
