"What adventures have you had?"
asked Grandfather Turkey.
Both these turkeys were quite old
and they were enjoying good talk
about "old times" when they were
young turkeys.
"Well, of course, my colors are in
terestihg," said Mr.. Turkey.
"They are. indeed" agreed Grand
| father Turkey. ''In fact have never
seen a turkey just like you. You are
very different from US. Tell me your
history. Let me hear about your ex-
periences and adventures"

"You see," he commenced, II have

and Mr.. Turkey went on talking.

When Rev Richard II. Clapp in the
course of sermon in the Centre Congre-
gational church yesterday on the oppor-
tunity and obligation for service which is
upon this nation declared his contempt
for the attitude of "a certain former
president of the United States" in oppos
ing the proposition of league of nations
as a guarantee of peace in the future he
expressed sentiment TO which we be-
lieye the major part of the public will
subscribe. This country entered the war
10 help bring about an enduring peace
for the world, and now that the fighting
has ceased there is danger of a reaction
from the high purpose which has prompt
ed the country to exert itself to the ut
most. The attitude of the former presi-
dent was cited as one indication of that
danger. Generally sound on the great
issues before the people, the reactionary
stand taken by ex-President Roosevelt on
the question of league of nations is be
yond the comprehension of some men

America in a strong voice at the peace
table is already manifesting itself.
This is true Of the politicians. 1t is
not true of the people, whose feeling
towards US is entirely sincere and
friendly and whose only wish is for a
guaranteed peace for the future.
After agreeing to brigade American
forces with the French and British in
platoons, General Pershing insisted
upon a change, that the Americans
should fight as an army thereafter.
This made him unpopular with the
French and British high commands.

the run and the British weakened and
unable to hold. And it was two Amer.
can divisions that started him on his
way back. That was the turning point
of the war.
Mr.. Kent ; informants asserted that
Pershing took steps that forced the
allied offensive that began July Is and
never ended until the capitulation OF
Germany, just in time to save heI
army in the field. In the last two
months of the war tie Americans had

cracked il. Here in the most frightfu

mace No at the local steet plant is
being rushed to great extent. Work
on the erection of this eulnaee was
started more then n wear ago, but

the Bethlehem Steel Company when
the local plant was purchased from
the Pennsylvania Steel Company.
Blast furnace No. which was
scheduled to be put into operation

Work on repairs has been held up
and officials were unable to give out
any information when the furnace

learned this morning that as soon
as blast furnace No. is put into
service, No. and No. will be
abandoned, and that the furnaces
will be renamed. Furnaces Nos. 1

skin is clear and smooth, the pores
are small and open. the powder does
