american Criminals" in
France.

7THE United States was shocked and
Inundated by the recent announce
u ment in Paris paper of ''crime
wave' attributed to American soldiers. 1t
was charged that American deserters and
army men on leave had been terrorizing
the French capital, making their headquar-
tiers in the Paris underworld and commit
ting an appalling number of murders, hold
ups and other acts of criminal violence.
Nearly all Americans must have felt at
once that there was some mistake about it.
The conduct of our troops abroad had been
so uniformly good that this accusation was
incredible. 1t is pleasant to report that
later and more reliable information exon
crates the American army.
The fact, as it develops, is simply this:
French "Apaches," as the Parisians call
their ''gunmen,' have been getting hold of
American army uniforms and using them
as a disguise in their criminal exploits.
Some Americans have been guilty; but as
the result of an investigation by the Asso-
ciated Press, out of "a murders charged to
Americans, they are found to have been re-
sponsible for only two, and 244 holdups and
assaults laid to them have been reduced 80

The Seed Cheat.

m NE of the worst Chunks is the fellow
I'LL who sells the farmer bum seeds.
w Farming under the best conditions
is laborious and precarious business. 1t
takes toll and faith and patience. The
hazard and the labor continue from the
preparation of the soil to the harvest. Per-
haps the most wearisome period of all is
the time Of waiting after planting for the
appearance and development of the crop.
Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1919-02-11

To toll as he must just to get the seed into
the ground, and then to wait and wait, till
ing and tending, only to find after all his
investment of work and money that the
crop was not worth the effort, is tragedy
of blank Encouragement.
And it is not only the farmer who is
cheated. 1t is his family, his creditors and
every soul who was dependent for part of
his food upon the plenitude of that crop.
