I the discussions it ought to be made
h clear that the United States would
rather withdraw altogether than
| commit herself to participation In
| any obvious injustice. Yet often
times it will happen that the real
| interests of a nation can be served
without doing injustice to any one
else.
! For example, Foch and a consider
/ able party in France are asking for
the left bank Of the Rhine Foch
! explains that the Rhine is a natural
| barrier and indispensable as a stra =
| tegic frontier This is the sort of
| opion one would expect from 4 mill

artillery or what-not. Land is not
made up of the homes of people but
| of terrain easily defended or rot
easily defended, of natural forts
with lines of communication here
and there, or rivers and hills and
swamps that can be flooded Such
a man. anxious for the safety of his
country, will select as the most suit
able frontier the line that can most
easily be defended.
Similarly, diplomats whose train
pected always to argue in favor of
extending the frontier so as to include
these grain fields or those iron mines
Or something.
But boundary lines drawn by gem
erals and diplomats are VIGOROUSLY
insecure. They fail to take into ac-
count the sentiments Of human be-
inEs. Alsace- Lorraine was nomi-
nally German for almost fifty years,
but the people of France never for
got about it. and Clemenceau who as
a young man in the chamber of
deputies refused to sign the art

If France, now that the tables are
turned, commits a similar wrong to-
day, there are men in Germany who

1t isn't right and it doesn't pay in
the end. Boundaries must be made
not for military or economic adj
vantage; but each community, large
or small, must be allowed the right
to choose its own way of life and
obedience"
1t isn't a question of whether we
want to do justice to Germany We
are pledged to do justice in each
item Of the settlement to friend and
foe alike.
France has made no formal de-
mand for this territory. 1t would be
such an obvious infringement of the
terms OF the armistice that it is not
likely she will. But even if she does,
genuine spirit of compromise could
find some way out OF it. What
France fears most is that Germany
will be in a position to attack again
in twenty years. She has no faith in
reformed Germany. 1t is only n
ruined Germany that seems safe to
France. And it is doubtful If Ger
many can be ruined. For this reason
she wants all the land up to the
Rhine. At least F'och does.
But there must be some other way
for preventing this Rhine district

BAII.IN'S TESTIMONY.

Albert Ballin, director of the Ham
burg American line and one of the
greatest of Germany's business men,
wrote to a friend shortly before his
death as follows;
But if I am concerned about our
relations with the United States. | am

From the moment Colonel House
began to chatter about freedom Of
the seas" 0he colonel did chatter on
that subject, if on no other in his
life), the journal began pointing out
that for a hundred years there had
been absolute freedom Of the seas
in times of peace, and that no such
thing as freedom of the seas in time
of war was possible
Balm, the personal friend of the
kaiser, said of Great Britan's sea
policy: Her home ports, her domin-

Washington, Jan. 2O-Testifying
before the house immigration commit
tee today, p. j. Mcnamara, vice pres
ldent of the legislative committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Engineers, said immigration
of cheap labor into this country from
Central Europe must be stopped be-
fore peace is concluded or the United
States will suffer financially for years.
Mr. Mcnamara said the four broth
erhoods of railroads employees are
strongly in favor of legislation pre-
venting immigration until the nation
reaches normal condition. The de-
mand for labor is more than satisfied
now, he said. and there are still hun
dreds of thousands of returning SOL
diers who must be placed at work.
IF the bars against immigration
are let down. conditions will become
even worse" he said Conditions in
Europe are so bad that millions are
waiting for the first opportunity to
leave. Much as we see them suf-
fer we dare not let them come be-
cause unemployment for our own peo-
pie and bread lines will result"

called,---in Munition Factories, Chem

to serve in this way, but because of
female ailments. which had fastened

under French rule. And if Foch
will put his mind to it, he can think
of a suitable plan better than any
one. Perhaps there should be no
German forts west of the Rhine
Perhaps the number of bridges
should be limited No generals could
attend to that part.
Assure the safety Of France and
you destroy the sentimental argu-

WOMEN CAN'T VOTE.
Will Not Be Allowed to Figure in Good
Road Bond Election.

Many of the women of this county
who have been interested in the good
road bond issue which is to be voted
on in the near future have been an
xious to cast their ballot for their side.
However, they will be unable to do so
according to Judge W. W. Bolts, who
was in the Missouri Legislature when
the law was passed.
Mr.. Bolts stated Monday, "the only
thing the women can vote for today IS
the presidential electors. The amend
ment to the constitution which gives
them the same political rights as the
men has not been ratified by the thir'
ty-six states necessary for its adop-
ton. At present, only about sixteen
have done so and the state legislatures
do not reopen until January when the
measure will probably be ratified. U.
to that time the women have no vote
except for the presidential electors"
