With the big war at an end, the
Allies and the United States cannot
reason Aheir oars until Belshevisnn is
stamped out. 1t is the next big under

the world safe from turmoil and up

Witness Switzerland. The news

doctrines of humiliation of organized
institutions and overturning of law

Switzerland took the bull by the

LIKE ENOCH ARDEN

Allentown, Pa, Tuesday, Jan. 81
To come home from France, after
having been reported dead, and to
find his wife married to another man,
is the experience of Miles C. Roth, a
cited hero of the Pennsylvania divi-
sion.
Private Roth is, as far as known
here, the first Pennsylvania Enoch
Arden of the great world war, and his
romance even surpasses that of the
hero of Tennyson's poem. Lord Ten
nyson left the innocent wife in happy
possession of her second husband In
this case the second spouse followed
the first as crusader in France
againt the Hun. Also, there are two
children. 9s5:.ssss77ssss7s:5' go : -

Quoted to secure the signatures OF
