THE OTHER SIDE.

Yesterday we gave the impressions
of Frank r. Kent of the Baltimore Sun
as to the state of feeling and opinion in
Europe. and particularly Paris, concern
ing the adjustment Of issues. growing
out of the war. Mr. Kent,s article led
to the publication, of a number of let.
ters. the writer's of which dissent
strongly from his view. The Presi.
dent : closest friends take exception to
the journalists assertions. Without
having read the article in question See
rotary Baker said, according 70 the
New York Times, ~ happen, however,
to be able from personal observation
to say that the relations between Gen.
eral Pershing, Marshal Foch, General
Petaiu, and Marshal Haig were cordial,
sympathetic and in every way happy. :"
At this time, as at every time when
important international questions are
under discussion, stories indicating
friction are always in circulation. They
may be heard now in Washington as
they may be heard now in London and
Paris. Their source is frequently well
understood and their value estimated
by European and American statesmen
Authoritative representatives of the
governments concerned appreciate that

The Disappointed.
(Ftehburg Sentinel. J

When the boys are coming home,
when the bands play and the orations
are being made. there will be one long
suffering class of heroic youths that
will not be honored. Not for them
will the crowds cheer, or the drums
beat. Yet the boys who wanted to go
and could not, because the examining
board denied their pleas, are of our
national forces. They wrought wonders
here IN places unmarked by trench or
wire; but for them the bugles would
not blow. Only the consciousness of
their devotion will compensate them
for the lost chances to go over the top
in the high moments of great cam
paigns. Life is full of such denials.
The boy who wanted to go to college
and win battles over ignorance, the
girl who wanted home life and was
kept by adverse fate to less desired
but important work, know also the
pang the un-uniformed soldier knows
Time will more and more teach them
all that service is the great achieve
| ment. Back of the lines in the civil
ian patriots was the soul OF the for
| ward ranks.

Old Kentuck is Going Dry.

{Harry NJ. Dean, in Louisville Courier
Journal)
Q there 5 briek-dust in the cellar
Where the Bourbon used to stay;
And the colonel S lips are parehing
For drink to start the day;
And the birds have ceased their sing
ing,
For the clouds blot out the sky:
And there s mourning in the morning
Old kentuck is going dry,
0 the weeds have claimed the mintbed
And the julep is a Jest;
And there s nothing left but water
They may offer to a guest:
Where the major meets the colonel
And in silence passes by,
with a grief too great for comfort
Old kentuek is going dry.
O the judge is staid and sober.
For there S nothing left to drink;
Even crafty politicians
DO not give their friends the wink.
In the still there s naught but stiffness,
For the Bourbon and the rye.
Are two things the natives dream Of
Old Kentuck is going dry,
20 the pleasant clink of glasses
Is the sound of bygone days;
For the barkeep's job has vanished
He has gone the unknown ways;
And there S dust upon the counter
Where the highballs used to fly,
When they took 'em stiff and steady
Old kentuck is going dryl

ed with a new friendliness toward
America. 1t does not rise from sue
eessful craftsmanship or royal com
mand. It rises from gratitude and ad-
miration. A Red Cross captain in Liv-
erpool told wonderful stories of hos
pltality that he had received all over

As matter of fact, il is new world

Amateur Flying.
(SpringGeld Republican. J

A British authority on aviation, who
believed that the number of amateur
airmen will at once begin to increase
rapidly has it figured out that by stand
ardization an S0-horsepower machine
can be sold for about 1880. How de-
probation and running expenses would
compare with those of what soon may
be called surface ear perhaps cannot
yet be figured out, but the tire ques-
ton might perhaps offset somewhat the
cost of repairs due to the delicate con
struetion of the airplane. In war, of
course, the maintenance of even one
airman is very costly, but it is prob
able that an amateur who could do his
own repairing could get a good deal of
use out of flying machine at no very

compare with that of q flivver or q mo-

compared with yachting or polo, and
the expectation that amateur flying
will develop tremendously after the war

two rooms and then all curled up to
take little nap.

Woodchuck, after they had tried out
their sleeping apartment.

Willie after him.

"We've been up all summer" said
Willie Woodchuck, without a good

Just then Mrs. Snake and family
passed by, wriggling along in very
slow and lazy fashion.

Snake in passing. Hope you sleep

Willie Woodchuck and his family.
