TOWN THRIVES ON TOURIST
Oban, Scottish Summer Resort, Prac-
tically Supported by Enthusiastic
Visitors Who Buy Souvenirs.

Oban Is Scottish town that exists
almost entirely for the benefit,7of the
tourist. Every other house in Oban
is a boarding house or hotel and
buildings that have escaped this fate
are used as shops where the traveller Is
enticed into buying a beautiful plaid
tartan for which he has no use, or
Scotch pebbles which are guaranteed
to be highly ornamental in the parlor
cabinet. ~
If you have d Scotch ancestor Oban
Is the place to resurrect him. All the
plaids of Scotland and a few besides
are in the 'Oban shops. If your ances-
tors cannot be located in the Scotch
"Who's Who" of the past, any obliging
|shopkeeper will unblinkingly produce
a plaid which fits the name of your
kinsman and which matches your IL
brary carpet.
If you stroll through the quiet streets
to the top of hill you can see Oban
at its best. The water of the bay is so
shiningly blue that you at once re-
solve to take a trip to one of the tiny
Islands dotting the smooth expanse.
The roads that climb the Scotch hills
so easily are edged with close-trimmed
hedges, and the cottages are cloaked in
glossy and picturesque ivy.
Off TO one side is great circular
editice not unlike Roman circus. This,
your hostess informs you on your re-
turn, is "McCaig's Folly" If you are
still curious you will be told the story
Of old eccentric McCaig, who had this
useless, antique-looking structure built
at great expense to himself and to the
vast amusement of his fellow citizens.
Winter is the quiet time in Oban,
Then there are no enthusiastic
strangers to buy expensive souvenirs
or to hire boats for trips around the
bay. The town is gloomy and desert
ed. The women are indoors weaving
plaids for the coming summer, and the
men are out on the bay hard at work
with the fishing feet.-Chicago Daily
News.

Would Give Service Men One Years
Pay.


What is known as "The Shafe
Plan," is to secure the passage of ;
lbill through congress whereby ever!
man Of the service, regulars, reserves
cue, shall receive IL month extra pay
Whether they went abroad or not
Those staying in the service will re
ceive it as we'll as those being dis
charged.
At a public mass meeting held il
the Armory hall, at Norfolk, it was
Unanimously voted to ask congress t.
enact law in, accordance with thu
plan.
The "Shafer Plan" National Head
quarters is at Norfolk, Va, where the
following address to the people has
been prepared and is being given
broad circulation throughout the
United States:
Dear Sir:-Do you know that the
majority of the men that Joined the
service this year at Norfolk gave up
positions paying them around $4,000
per month and some as much as $500 :
90 per month? Compare that with
$4,000 per month.
"This is moral issue. The men of
the service worked or fought night and
day for whatever the government
chose to pay them; they did not strike,
neither did they get ten per cent plus
They only obeyed orders. The only
record we have of whole company
disobeying orders was when one of
our companies were charging the
Huns and the officer gave orders tc
halt, but they captured several Ger
nan dugouts before obeying him.
"Some people oppose the Plan be-
cause it will cost the government three
billion dollars, saying that we are not
able to stand it. Such statements arc
an insult to the flag, for our experts
tell US that it would have cost over
twenty-five billion dollars per year to
have carried the war on several years
longer and they. further state that
we could have financed it
for number of years I'M
der our same liberty bond plan. Now,
taxes, don't faint, for our generation
could pay the three billion off by an
average increased tax of just one dol
lar per year for each person of the U.
s. Our great country is not bank
rupt; no, far from it. A vast amount
Of the money we have borrowed has
been invested in permanent improve
nents and bonds of our allies and
should we be disposed to do so we can
collect the balance from Germany. Our
government is better off financially
han any government or institution in
he world today.
"Others oppose it, saying that it
would put too much money in the
lands of the irresponsible. Well, when
'ou hear a man talking like that, he
'ither does not know what class of
men are in the service or he is one OF
hose kind of men that asked every
me of his friends to sign his or his
on's exemption card while your boy ,
n brother was going to the front to
afend humanity.
There is no charity in this plan. IL
ill only give the men what they have {
armed thrice and a very small portion
f what they deserve. S
How much would we have had if it t
ad not been for the men of the q
nrvice? Y
would it be giving our service men d
fair deal to only give them one
lonth's bonus when their commercial o
have saved a few thous-
nd dollars for rainy day, while the f
ates of our national treasury were s
vung wide open from necessity ?"- "

Ford Divides Profits.

At the annual meeting of the direc-
tors Dec. 81, the Ford Motor Co. de.
clared 200 per cent dividend, one
half to be paid in January and the
other in February. The dividend which
represents the sum of S4,000,000 is
to be divided among seven stockhold-
ers 1t is the first of dividends to be
paid monthly throughout the year, il
| is announced.
The company gave out at the be-
ginning of the year that its employees
throughout the country as well as
workers in the Ford tractor plant viii
hereafter receive minimum wage of
Sc day beginning Jan. 1. This af-
fects approximately $4,000 workers
| for whom it means flat increase of
81 daily. Some $4,000 other employees
were already getting Sc or more a
day. The millionaire head of the con-
Germ explained that the wage increase
was "only just reward to the men
who remained loyal to the company
during the war period"
ii is announced that Mr.. Ford has
formally resigned as president of the
Ford Motor Co. in order that he may
have more time to devote to the trac-
tor business. His son Edsel who is
only "a years old has succeeded to the
presidency of the corporation in which
a total of something lilSe$200,000
lis invested and is to receive a salary
of S150,000 annually. The elder Ford
will retain seat on tie board of di-
rectors in advisory capacity.
Says He Killed Quentin Roosevelt.
Christian Donhauser, young Ger
man aviator, claims to be the man
who killed Lieut., Quentin Roosevelt
in an air battle near Chamery. Don
hauser, who is an understood fellow
he weighs only "a pounds-wears an
iron cross and other decorations and
is credited with having downed 12l
planes in IL consecutive days. Also
evidently he is possessed of unlimited
gall for he has indicated that he plans
visiting the United States, eventually
becoming naturalized and entering U. |
S. military service as an aviator.

THE SENSIBLE VIEW. 1

Under the provisions of the peace
 treaty there. are many duties imposed
 upon this country. but it cannot help
 being felt that the decision that has
 been gipen~b Secretary Lansing that
 this country cannot participate in the discharge of any sueh. duties until af- ter action has been taken on the rati- fication of the treaty is thoroughly sound.
 At the present time no one knows just what this country is going to do with the peace treaty. There will in all probability be a number of reser
 vations but just what the form of these will be is uncertain and until the treaty has been ratified with or without reservations it is manifestly improper that this country should be participating under treaty provisions some of which may not be approved
 It is perfectly evident also that if there was an effort made to name members on certain commissions or to carry out any provisions of the treaty in advance of ratification there would be the opportunity to claim that au- thority was being exceeded that the treaty was being put into operation when it hadn't even been approved and thus arouse resentmentS. Ac- cording to the treaty we must pro- Vldo tTOOpS IOf the liklnS or a pIeU- iscite in Upper Silesia and that is where the 5000 recently sent to Eu- rope was supposed to be destined. un- til Secretary Baker announced to the contrary in keeping with Secretary Lansing's decision. They may event. ually go to Upper Silesia but neither they nor any others who may be in the Coblehz section will go until we have acted upon the treaty
 It is possible of course to anticipate what action is going to be taken on the treaty. Such anticipation may or may not be realized. Action therefore should await the result Of the treaty vote and not be guided by anticipa- ton one way or the other.

NO JOB FOR us.

As time goes on there does not ap- pear to be any growing demand here for the acceptance by this country of the mandate for Armenia. We con riHue' to hear from across the water about how much it is desired that we should undertake the task and at the same time we are steadily informed about the conditions that exist there and which must be faced by whatever nation goes to the rescue.
 It is not. however. because it is a big job and it is not because it is gc- ing to be hard job that this country wants nothing to do with it. Uncle Sam is not inclined to turn away from q task just because it is difficult The whole thing can be summed up in d nutshell when it is declared that while we are interested in Armenia and want to see that it is treated right it is located in a part of the world where this country does not wish to intrude, where it does not wish to send an ar my. any more than it wants European or Asiatic nations to undertake a sim liar job in the western hemisphere
 Just at the present time new inter est is aroused in this matter by the return to Constantinopie of the liar bord mission that has been making a trip through Armenia and other parts of Asiatic Turkey for the purpose of reporting to the president. Though the official report has not been gwen out 1t has been revealed that the mis- sion had no merry time in making its investigations and though the head of the mission has made no statements others have which indicate that it is for the best interests of this country to keep it's hands out of the Arnen- ian situation. Their opinion substan- riates that which has been so often advanced that our duty lies not in that quarter but nearer home. The best way to keep out of entanglements that could easily result from undertaking such 3 task is not to get in.

 Mir. Editor: The reply of a writer naming himself Self Determination is a vivid example of a man intruding his opinion in the discussion of question with a mistaken idea of tbe proposition under debate.
 Mir Ringland's 1etter-wflicf1 was full fifty per cent. shorter than this man 's-had nothing to say about Will sons opinion of the war nor indeed what the United States went to war for, but he did state clearly and freely what the entente allies went to war for.
 This everybody knows surely, whether born in Connecticut or in Connemara- If there was any doubt about it. we could surely and certain ly affirm that the allies did not go to war to free Ireland. If they did then the Sim Feiners and that propogan- da must have misunderstood it sorely, for they gave what help and synipa- thy they had to the Germans-the enemies of the allies. If they had Loyalty given their help to the allies with the understanding that they w0Ne to profit by the victory, or with out that understanding, thece would be more point to their now asking consideration of some political kind, as result of that victory which they had in part assisted to accomplish. As it is, and as it was the plea that now they should receive some national at anybody else. as being in the best taste-and hence it is not meeting with first class appreciation-and is not likely to be a success.
