FOUR HUNDRED SQUARE MILES
OF OLD KAISER GROUED

WITH THE kIERICANS ~
PRUSSIA, Dec. 2-The third army c.
cupied about four hundred square
miles of German territory on Sunday.
Hundreds lined the streets in Treve 8
in silence as the Yankees with their
bands playing entered. The people
stared curiously. Deputies of Treves

served. The majority of the people
were indoors and peeped through the
windows at the Americans.
Some of the Yankees cheered as the
first doughboys stepped on German
soil but generally everything was
quiet and businesslike. The Ameri-
can officers in each town asked the
authorities to provide billets. provi.
sions. The Americans are supervis-
ing public utilities, and have placed
each place entered under martial law
but as long as the present laws are
respected by the inhabitants peaceable
criminal laws will be enforced by the
local authorities.
Before the invasion strict orders
were issued to all Americans impress
ing necessity for self-restraint. This
the high-type Americans carried out
most wonderfully.

WOULD EMPLOY DEMosiLIZED
ARMY MEN ON HIGHWAYS s

NEW YORK. Dec. '3.-Highway i'm
provement in the United States alone
would furnish employment for every
man of the demobilized American
army. if even fair proportion OF
the needed highway work were to be
undertaken.
This is the opinion E. S: Cornell,
secretary, National highways Pro.
tective society. This society pro
notes the building of better high
ways throughout the country without
advocating the use of any patented
paving materials.
During the war highway building
practically came to standstill
throughout the country. Even If the
government had not placed the ban
on the use of labor and materials for
highway work, except upon roads in
war work, the rising cost of labor
and materials would have stopped
the work.
Before the war good 16-foot high
way cost from $4,000 to $4,000 to
build. By the time the war industries
was ready to stop, most highway
work had risen in cost to nearly or
quite double these sums.

tERsHINe REPUBLICAN LEAGUE

LERsHING REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
Fifteen prominent Republicans of
Akron, Ohio. headed by ex-senator
Charles Dick, have taken out articles
of incorporation of "The Pershing Re-
publican League" at Columbus. for
the purpose of nominating and elect
ing Gen. Pershing president in 1920.
Details as to conditions under which
charter members of this novel league
will permit the generals admirers in
Ohio and other states to participate
in the organization are lacking. We
are also kept in the dark as to Gen.
Pershings wishes, even as we are
unaware of his views of momentous
problems pressing for solution. 1t
may be safely assumed, however, that
the charter members of the league,
are equally ignorant. In all probabiii
ty they are merely proceeding on the
theory that this country will follow
precedent by electing the chief mill
tary figure of its great war 70 the
presidency.
The precedents are unbroke1.
Washington, Taylor. Grant, Hayes.
Garfield, Harrison and Roosevelt got
their fame in the country's various
wars. Maj. McKinley's war record
helped him, although it was not chief
1y responsible for his election Ad-
miral Dewey was doomed for presi-
dent until tickle fame dropped him
with smash from which it took him
years to recover. Hero worship is
an uncertain thing. Often hero can
not stand prosperity. We believe
that Pershing can, for the qualities
which have made him successful are
of the most substantial character The
necessities Of the military censorship
and the subordination of all other gen-
erals to Marshal Foch have kept the
public from knowing as much about
Pershing as 1t desires and as 1t will
eventually know.
The Akron movement, consequently,
is as premature as it Is unusual in
method. II there is to be a formid-
able boom for Pershing for president
1t will likely come from the returning
soldiers. Missouri will be the natural
place to launch it. We may pardon
Laclede, Mo-, for resenting the intru-
sion of Akron, Ohio. Laclede would
have copyrighted Pershing If 1t had
only dreamed that any other COM
munity was capable of the audacity
displayed by Akron. Missourians will
refuse to buy share of stock in the
Ohio corporation. We have endured
Ohio's claims as mother of presidents,
but when she tries to adopt son
who has perfectly good mother of
his own she abuses our patience.-St.

means that Mr. Wilson would write
