Just how long it would be before
you would be up there helping to
manage the Nations business. Not

long time ago.
| pick up few bits of news re-
from the Paris edition of the New
York Herald Seems that everything
is asleep in Arkansas as | never
see anything in the papers about
that state. we get lots of news of
all kinds here as we are lucky
enough to be on railroad and
newspapers and magazines are plen-
tiful. Besides the Herald we get
the Chicago Daily Mail from Paris
and the North American from Lon
don all printed in Arkansas Ian

| was very fortunate in coming
over. | was on one of the largest
passenger vessels afloat and was at
sea only eight days and owing to
the great speed of the boat we were
not bothered very much with subs,
as we were only attacked twice
and mighty weak attacks at that.
We got news of the World Series
ball games while in mid-ocean and
in fact we were kept well posted as
to the happenings at home as long
as we were on the big ship.
Tom, you and Button should be
proud that you all live in a big,
rich country like the United States.
The little boys and girls over here
have to wear wooden shoes and |
don't think they have the opportunity
of going to school like you all. It's
no uncommon sight to see a little
boy with a great big dog herdine
sheep away out in a field by him
self. In fact, the little boys and old
men have to do the work here as
all the middle-aged folks -are fight
ing. There are very few autos
here and the people do most of their
travelling in two-wheeled carts and
drawn by little donkey. Wish you
could see an old lady driving one
of these outfits.
Things to eat are sure high over
here. A spring chicken costs you
$500 while jam is $500 per pound
About the only thing cheap here is
nuts and fruits as these are raised in
abundance around here. The little
folks seem to live on white grapes
and red wine.
Well, Mr. Tom remember me tc

factory that the university will con-
tinue this kind of training so far as
resources and conditions permit
Speaking of the students army
training corps, which was establish
ed in the university Oct l, 1918, for
the regular college students, the re-
port says:
THE establishment of the college
section of the students army train
ing corps was a tremendous and un-
precedented attempt on the part or
the nation to use the colleges of the
country as existing agencies for the
training of officers for the army. If
the war had continued the expert
ment would probably have accom-
plished its purpose, SO far at least
as the fitting of men to enter ofiI-
GERS training camps was concerned.

of the United States government,
gave intensive training in wireless

THE OTHER TREATIES.

Now that the treaty of peace with Germany
is signed, the treaties to be made with Ger
many's allies will engage more interest than
they have. Italy is vitality interested in the
treaty of peace with Austria; Greece is interest
ed in that to be made with Turkey, and all the
other nations of south Europe new and old, are
concerned with the conditions imposed on Bull
garia It seems probable that the Turk must
leave Europe and this alone opens new vista,
In which this nation may possibly be foreseen
TIC be called into action Peace with Austria
quite as much as the peace with Germany Will
bring to the fore the claims and aims OF Italy.
The fate of Bulgaria intimately touches the
east Europe settlements at many points. AL
though we are not directly concerned in the
peace making with Turkey and Bulgaria, since
we never technically were at war with them, we
have new interests at stake that make this
peace making of direct concern to u.s. Particu-
larry is this true because of the league of nations
sections in the German treaty. By this we are
pledged to a part in promoting and keeping
peace and in these treaties to come are the
seeds of peace war. Responsibility once TAX
en- is with difficulty escaped; to turn from it is
to find it facing new angle; to run from it is to
ind it waiting at the end.

NO MORE cARNIvALs.

Quincy Journal: The city of Mon
mouth last week entertained a car
nival company and on the departure
of the party, jewelry store was
robbed Of jewels worth one thousand
dollars. There may be no connec
ton between the robbery in Mon
mouth and the carnival, but 1t is a
fact that criminals of various sorts
follow these touring shows.
Quincy has had enough. The car
than enough and public opinion will
not permit such visitation again
Losing their grip on the public, il
has been the policy of these shows
to interest some local organization
and then saddle themselves on a
community for week or more.
Because there were a few miti.
eating circumstances connected with
the recent show here, The Journal
said nothing. In the future, The
Journal intends to oppose such exhi
billions. The Journal has closed It's
advertising space to these com.
panies and also will see to 1t that
the news columns are closed to
them
Quincy has outlived the period
when it thinks it good business to
have a travelling troupe take several
thousand dollars away with them for
practically nothing or worse than
nothing. 1t may be that the people
operating these shows are clean. but
travelling with them IS a following
who usually wind up in the city
police court.

THE SHUTS PROTEST.

1t is curious circumstance not fully explain
ed that General Jan SHUTS, the former Boer
leader and representative of South Africa, Sign
ed the peace treaty under protest because as
would appear, he wanted softer terms for the
now peaceful and unarmed central powers F." 1T
would seem also that he did not believe IN pun
ishing the criminals who forced the war and
committed all the atrocities and violations OF
The Hague convention and international law.
1t was General SHUTS, as will be remembered,
whose draft of covenant was accepted after
those of the president of France and the premier
of Italy had been thrown aside. President Viii
son admitted this, and the league as 1t is now
intertwisted Enthusiastically with the treaty is
more largely the work of the Boer statesman
than of any other man.

THE BOLSHEVIST IDEA,

Tt is hard to find a bolshevist when looking
for him with a warrant or with a gun; for he ex-
presses himself with judicious reserve in con-
versation with strangers. 1t is harder still TO
catch him in the act, for when he has no bomb
upon his person he calls himself publicist a
friend of freedom, peaceful patriot and puts
himself in the same class with Heron and other
honored counsellors Of the administration. But
one has been mearthed in Keokuk who explains
the theory on which he would remake the world
1T is perfectly simple as he sees it. All that will
be needed is for the proetariat to take over the
means of production, pay themselves big wages
and arrange with the farmers for an exchange
of factory products for food Thus both opera
tives and agriculturists would prosper and grow
rich at each others expense.
This is such stuff as parlor boshevist s
dreams are made Of. They would have high
wages and low prices, plenty Of goods and
plenty of money with which to buy them. We
should all grow opuIent together and the honB
of the goose would float down from the blue
icerulean like a benediction on care-free
world. Would that it might be 50, and that the
land might flourish like that idyllic village al
of whose happy families lived by taking il
washing for their neighbors The real, direct
