provide military or naval force. or
both, to protect any boundary line
that Is threatened The contention
that is now going on over boundaries
clearly indicates that the decision of
the peace conference is not going to
end disputes and that nothing but
military force provided by nations
outside the disputants will maintain
the lines, and even this will probably
not end it until actual war has been
made to subjugate by force of arms
the contending countries. AS party
to the peace league, the United States
would have to provide its quota Of the
military forces. Where are the SOL
diers to come from? Whose boy is
going to don the uniform for service
in foreign country in a cause in
which we are not interested and which
is in fact none of our business? This
point was emphasized the other day
when a group of congressman were
discussing the presidents league of
nations. A prominent member Of the
house put 1t this way:
What want to know Is where
America is going to get the troops.
Is my boy going? Is your boy
going? Do they expect the Lam
sing family or the Daniels family
or the Baker family to send their
young men to do this task? Or
will it be the Jones boy and the
Brown boy? You know recruiting
for foreign service now Is slow.
Even officers are reluctant to go
abroad, as is well known. Is it
the intention, If need be, to con-
script men to keep European
boundaries, fixed and keep watch
and ward over Turkey and Ar
menia?"

COEUR D'ALENE MINING SITUA-
TON IMPROVES.

Lead producers of the Occur dAlehe
district are in a decidedly better posi-
ton than they were few months
further Improvement, though not to
the extent Of returning to normal pro-
ducton in the immediate future. AL
though the past few weeks have been
marked by increased buying and
consequent strengthening Of the price,
there are still large stocks of lead on
hand which must be reduced or clean
ed up before normal production Is re-
stored. The most serious difficulty
now confronting local operators is the
shortage of labor. and particularly ex-
perienced miners, which prevents most
Of them from reaching the limited out
put that is justified by the present
market conditions. The recent ad-
vance in the wage scale has relieved
the condition to some extent, but it is
estimated that there is still employ
ment for probably a thousand addi-
tional men in the district But it Is
believed that this situation will grad
ually remedy itself AT this time there
Is a great demand for men in the lum-
Der woods and on the farms where
wages are practically the same as in
the mines, and while the good weather
lasts many men naturally prefer the
outdoor work.
ing the advance in silver Is the best
feature Of the situation at this time
Sales of lead in New York last week
were the highest recorded since the
armistice was signed and the price
advanced to 5.25 cents and it Is re-
ported that some sales were made at
$50 cents. One of the largest dealers
makes the prediction that lead has
seen its lowest price for some time,
although he is not expecting anything
like sensational advances in the price
This situation along with the assured
high price of silver is most gratifying
not alone to Occur d'Alene producers,
but to all who are dependent upon the
industry. 1t means that we have pass
ed the low water mark and that from
this time forward the tide of business !

demand for metals will steadily in
crease until the district has again |

that it can be truthfully said that the
mining industry here is still in its in
fancy, There are vast known depos-
its simply waiting for the return OF
normal consumption of metals when
they will swell the. output of this Won
derful district, while the possibilities
of further mineral discovery are al
most without limit. Add to these the
advance that has been
made in metallurgical processes for
treatment of law grade ores, through
which commercial values are obtained
from ores which were once regarded
as worthless. old waste dumps are be-
ing worked successfully, and great
piles of tailings are giving up values
lost under old and now discarded
milling methods, and it must be con-
ceded that the future of the district
ooms up bigger and brighter than
sver before.

COLONEL HARVEY DISCUSSES
FAIR PLAY FOR THE HUN.

To a representative of the Associ-
ated Press, giving the German view of
the treaty Of peace, President Ebert
said: IF the American democracy &C.
tually accepts the present terms of
peace as its own, it becomes an &C.
complete and abettor of political
blackmailers; it surrenders the tradi-
tional American principle of fair play
and craftsmanship" Taking this ut
terance Of the German president for
his subject. Colonel George Harvey,
in the last issue of his Weekly, re-
show the Hun attitude for the people
of other nations and then explains
why it is impossible to give fair play
to the Hun. He says:
"The Hun. this perjured violator
OF the most solemn pledges; this
ravisher Of girls and kindergar-
ten children; this wholesale MUIR
derer of aged men, Of priests at
the altar and of women with
babies in their arms; this creature
who at the point of the bayonet
drove off tens of thousands of men
to slavery and of women to en-
forced debasement; this common
thief and ineendiary; this dyna-
inter Of hospitals wherein lay the
sick, the MANNED and the dying;
this skulking assassin Of the high
seas; this international brigand
who in cold blood and of calcu-
lated purpose made a shambles of
the world to crafty his beastly
greed for plumber and power
this unspeakable Caliban of ma
tons, now rendered impotent, has
the unspeakable effrontery to
whine about American fair play
and American craftsmanship
He has not had fair play. That
much may be granted. Had he
had fair play, his own country
would have been laid waste with
fire and sword; the horrors upon
horrors which he heaped upon
every land which his cave-dweller
barbarians swarmed over would
have been visited upon his own
country, In the very nature Of
things he could not and can not
have fair play. Fair play for the
Hun means another Hun horde to
see that 1t is administered. And
in all the world, where, outside Of
the Huns own borders. could such
horde Of gorillas be recruited?
No: there can not be fair play for
the Hun. Mankind has not sunk
low enough to inflict 1t.
"And this welcher, this snivell-
ing loser in the game Of butchery
and arson to which he challenged
the world. has now the Supplying
insolence to swagger and buster
about craftsmanship Far be 1t
from us to say that this Is the
limit Of Hun blackguardism. 1t
probably isn't. Hun blackguard-
ism has no limit The only limit
reached in this last specimen Is
the limit Of the Imagination to
conceive a higher flight Of insol- -
ence or lower depth Of barbar- 9
ian infamy"

How the World is "Made Safe for De.
mocracy" in the Black Belt
of the South

assertion, a group of men went to
the negros home, called him out
and shot him, leaving him for
dead. He was not dead. The Of
'ficers took charge of him, and af-
ter having his shattered leg am
putated kept him concealed until
they could make a dash for
Shreveport where he would be
safe.
Learning that he was still
alive, the Monrovian mob reas-
sembled and invaded st. Francis
sanitarium to search for him. The
hospital is the only one in Mon
roe; 1t was filled with sick people,
people recovering from opera
tons; not negroes alone, but
white people Of high standing.
Imagine the effect upon these in
valids when masked and armed
mob brutally forced its way into
the hospital and searched it for a
victim.
And the next night the murder
party held up west-bound train
just out Of Monroe, removed the
negro, who was on a stretcher in
the baggage car. and completed
the job of killing him. There was
no passion, no Indignation, no
outburst Of feeling about this I'M

tim was guilty of. If he was gull

He was killed deliberately, three
days after the first attempt to
slay him, after any popular anger
