countries and most of the neutrals. Echoes of bolshevism have been heard in South America.
 We should not emulate the ostrich and refuse to recognize that bolshev- ism, whether spread by socialists, l. W. W. leaders or less prominent forces, is a problem to be faced by America. Battles between the police and disorderly elements in the larger cities of the country are of frequent Every obstacle thrown in the way of the radical socialists in- furiates them still more against the and adds to the discon- tented element which listens to their doctrine.
 The stabilization of Europe will do much to check bolshevism there, but have caught the infection and if the time is not ripe for class war involving the whole world, there are forces at work that would bring it about.

Tndiscreet Statement
 Bv Conuueror of Germans

@ERGEANT HENRY JOHNSON, EO colored war hero of Albany, N. Y, performed a deed of heroism on the field of battle that sent his name ringing around the world. The whole country was proud of him and when his division returned recently he was a conspicuous figure in a huge parade in New York.
 But Henry has come to grief. A warrant was issued for his arrest on the technical charge of wearing the army uniform after prescribed time. The real cause of Henry's getting into trouble, however, was a speech he made in St. Louis, charging that white soldiers were towards, and the war was won by the negroes.
 Henry was doubtless filled with the fervor of the moment. He saw be- fore him large and enthusiastic au- dience of his people, hanging on every word. His own exploit was of course we'll known to most of those present, but wishing to extoll his comrades in arms, he committed faux-pas that was most unfortunate. No one wishes to minimize the gallant conduct of our colored soldiers in France, yet history will insist that their white brethren were "among those present. when Kaiserism received it's death blow.
 Sergeant Johnson promised to make a retraction and he will probably be more careful in the future about let ting his enthusiasm run away with him. He is a trifle bewildered by the tumult and applause created by his war record. It would be a pity in- deed if an incurable case of megalo- cephalia should dim the lustre of a splendid act of bravery, with which he is officially credited and for which he was decorated.

STOLEN TARTS

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
 A good deal of the worlds supply of royalty has been clouted over the nose in recent years, for the betterment of government or because of the tendency of monarchs to employ their armies un- warrantaby, but the narrative of a spanking administered to the present King of Great Britain, Emperor of India and Defender of the Faith, when he was lad, has not a diminished interest be- cause royalty has had many hard liclSs since the period of his boyhood.
 Mrs. Mary A. Wilson. food expert, formerly the personal cook of Queen Victoria, tells, in the Brooklyn Eagle, the following story:
 Prince George. the present King, had a weakness for peach tarts, and he would often manage to get away from his numerous tutors to beg some tarts before dinner.
 "One day, however I was compelled to refuse him, and he took one when my back was turned. AS the little prince started to run away with his stolen sweet, he stumbled and fell. I grabbed him by the back of his collar, laid him across my knee and administered the soundest spanking that a peer of Eng land ever received. I remember using a wooden cooking spoon as the instrument of correction.
 "The young price bawled Justify and promised never to steal any more tarts.'
 Queen Victoria, upon the next of her customary visits to the kitchen, says Mrs. Wilson, laughed heartily over the incident. She found no fault with the cook for spanking her grandson.
 Does history hinge upon the incident? ? Did the lesson impress itself upon the mind of a future monarch and incline him toward the straight path of righte- ousness? If so one easily may imagine that when Wilhelm called upon the cook in his boyhood he got the tart invaria- bly, either never refused or never pun ished for stealing, with the result that he grew up convinced that he should always get the tarts and so came ut terly to grief.

Weather Sign That Is
 Usually Dependable

w lamb it goes out like a lion, and vice versa. In weather-sign folk lore few sayings are so familiar and few signs are so dependable.
 March, just gone, came in like a lamb-bland and sunny-and the goose bone prophet was absolutely sure that it would go out lion-like; and it did. Yesterday was not stormy. It lacked the lions roar, but it was cold and was windy enough to call to mind the proverbial forecast.
 Of all the signs the red sky is the most universally known and counted upon. Christ referred to it as some- thing understood by the people and used its folk lore character to illus trate great spiritual truth. 4NeAI III pOpuIdI dSCcpIdiiSS ID eiS March sign.

YOU HAVE COME BACK

Angela Morgan, Forward, March," (John Lane.) You have come back to me, who seemed
 forsaken, You have come back, through all the
 gates of grief No sign to show the path your steps
 have taken Over the plains of woe, to my relief. ( You have come back! The shrouded hill,
 awaken The dim and dusty grass puts forth .
 flame, And sullen trees with ecstasy are shaken
 to sing your name. Nor look, nor word across the day is at-
 tered
 To span the silence reaching stern and
 far. Yet, Dear your message to my heart has
 fluttered
 Like swift-falling star. q o Love. what miracle hath wrought this
 madness For us. whose frozen hearts so long
 were dumb? Dreaming. heard the first fas- noe of
 gladness; - Through corridors of sleep I saw you
 come. Now through the night my soul shall seek its mating. Swift as bird to the appointed nest. To find the blessedRess that knows no
 sating
 In the enduring haven of your breat.

THEIR INDIFFERENCE

From the Kansas City Star.
 Them city people don't give 8 drat for anybody but themselves!" grumbled old Riley Rezzidew of Petunio. "They don't care enough about a person to even look at him in passing, let alone take any interest in who he is or where he comes from or ask what he lows the weather will be tomorrow, or even stop and size him up and spit and say. 'Howdy. Pears like I've seen you some'rs and in that way gradually work around to finding out what his name is they actually don't want to know what his name is! And if they accidentlly find it out they never take the trouble to inquire if he is any kin to So-and- So. They just nacher'ly don't give a boot wherther he is or not!"

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

Ever notice that the men who have a right to be conceited are about the only
 men who are not conceited? And this would be a better world if the prphibtionists would set the rum
 mics aN good example by being a little temperate in their language. We do not blame some men for being very religious on Sunday They do not pay much attention to religion the other six days of the week. Why is it that when you are in a hurry the man who waRs to talk to you for a minute insists on Walking for 30 minutes? :? Being grouch hath it's reward. Peo-
 pie may hate you, but they'll never try Ito impose on you. Once in while you will find a wife who has her own way because her hus-
 band Is fond of her. But in the other ls9 cases wife has her own way be- cause her husband is afraid of her. After playing the thing both ways
 man IS apt to discover that things come
 more quickly to those who won't wait. A woman may walk into an open coal hole because she is busy rubbering at herself. But any time man walks into an open coal hole it is because he is busy rubRering at a woman. If legal compulsion and prohibition are going to make men good, we might as well get ready to close the churches and newspaper offices in year or so. There will be no more work for clergymen and editors.
 Some people seem to save up their coughing all week so they can turn it loose when they go to church on Sum day.
 Wonder if We couldn't get two-thirds of the states to ratify an amendment to the constitution prohibiting the sale and use of garlic?
 Some men have lost all fear of hell slnce they have learned that a lot of the lead
 CTS of the Anti-rverything league expect to go to heaven.
 We do not know whole lot about women But we do know that they are
 not all as innocent as they look.

German troops in 1871 are crooked and tortuous. The newer section is mod ern and impressive, for the conquerors, in efforts to Germanize the region, pso- vided buildings as numerous and cost ly as those to be found anywhere in Germany save In Berlin and few oth- CT cities. A valued instrument in the fruitless kulturaP drive on native AL satians was the rejuvination of the University of Strassburg, which had more than 20O0 students before the war and a library of a million volumes.
 "In the middle ages, after revolting against ecclesiastical rule, Strassburs became free, independent and highly prosperous city. It allied itself with the league of Swabian towns, an af- filiation having no connection with. and, in some respects, farming an in- teresting contrast to the Hanseatic league. For. while the primary pur- pose of the Swabian group was to pro- tect trade and property, to prevent over-taxation and to avoid other ap- pressions, some writers profess to find in their program a germ of the later movement in western Europe against aristocracy and remnants of feudal privilege.
 General Kleber, one of the ablest and most modest French commanders of the revolutionary period, was born in Strassburg; Goethe attended the university there; Johann Mentel. thought to have been either a pupil or an assistant of Gutenberg, set up a printing press there, and Johann Tauler, the Phillips Brooks of his time, preached and administered throughout the appalling weeks when the black death half depopulated the city.
 Accused of starting the pestilence by poisoning wells, more than 2000 Jews were put to death in Strassburg alone. adding to the horrors of that tragic time. Mems thoughts turned to divine succor. and there grew up the mystical and mysterious Friends of God" among whom Tauler was a 1ead- CT, and Strassburg banker a convert who wrote treatise on meditative steps toward heaven.
 Sfrassburg's population in 1910 was little more than that of Toledo Ohio, and it's pre-war industries included tanning, printing, brewing making cf steel goods. paper and furniture, while the poorer classes engaged in raising gaase, from the livers of which they derived the paste which is often known as StraSSburg pate.'"

FIRST ACROSS THE SEA

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 When Peary reached the north pole some who were grooming their dog teams for the race or filling the bunk CTS of stout ships, felt that life no longer held prize for them. There might be desolation still unvisited in Arabia or mid-Australia. but the pot of gold at their rainbow's foot had been purloined by the unwearying American.
 The same eagerness to be first in the azure field of transatlantic avia- tion marks the effort that Is now be- ing made on both sides of the sea to effect the crossing. The competitors have already come to the stage of fare- well banquets and speeches.
 When the dream of arld lang syns has become the fait accompli it will seem so simple and so easy-the logical fulfillment of the hazardous feats of the the pockets" and "pusses" of the treacherous atmosphere over the North Atlantic do not offer.
 It is not matter of days or weeks upon the tumbling ocean in such ali anxious transit as the sea-borne voy- ager has made to descry new land above the horizons rim. The Coluli- bus 6f the air flashes from known land to known land in pursuit of the sun or of the sunrise-and the epoch making journey will be over and con- tinents will ring with the plaudits for the deed few hours. Many con- testants there are, and there is but one prize. Whose hand shall grasp it., and how soon?

Menace of Bolshevism
 Should Not Be Discounted

iM R. w. T. HORNADAY, trustee lU of the American Defense socie- tv. which has launched a campaign against bolshevism in the United States, declares that, "The man who thinks bolshevism is not a menace to America is himself a source of dan ger to the state"
 While this statement may be re- garded as rather extreme, because it is characteristic of the American peo- pie to make light of fanaticism, no matter what form it may assume, the very insidiousness of bolshevism makes it hard to combat. Masoue- rading under half dozen. different names, it has gained strong footing in America which is rightly regarded by bolshevik leaders as the last strong hold they must conquer. In Russia, not only are the bolsheviki firmly en- trenched in power, but they seem apt to remain so and may even win recog- hilton from the allies, as the last re- sort to prevent Russia from effecting a permanent alliance with Germany. The recent debacle in Hungary sent a chill through the allied nations. The seeds have been sown in France and England, in all the former belligerent

SELLING WILSON A HAT

From the Washington Star.
 How does it feel to sell President Wilson new spring hat?
 There's a question for you Every one has wondered, at one time or an other, how it would feel to be Presi- dent of the United States, but I imagine this is the first time in his tory that the query as to selling q President new spring hat has been propounded.
 Spring is in the air. It has been waiting around the national capitol, as far as that goes. for the past month or more. Many persons left Washington to go south for the win- ter, only to learn subsequently, that the weather was nearly as fine in the District of Columbia as it was in Flor ida.
 When President Wilson began to think about that transatlantic trip, membered that the President was one of the greatest devotees of the hat Also a new cap. It will be re- cap before he became President, and he has not lost his love for the easy going, informal head-covering. Be- sides, there is nothing like cap for wear at sea. Nifty felt hats are apt to be deftly scooped off ones head by the rollicking breezes, yo. ho. but the cap sits tight.
 How does it feel to sell the Presi- dent a hat?' repeated the. clerk. when asked about it. He grinned. Well. it feels all right now. But I don't mind telling the world-I don't mind telling it bit-the first time I sold the President hat my knees shook under me-"

HISTORIC STRASSBURG

NN 7 ASHINGTON, March 31.-(Spe-
 WV cial)-"Strassburg is famed
 for its cathedral and pate de faie gras, and prized for it's commercial and military importance,' says bul- letin from the National Geographic so- ciety concerning the city which will be the seat of the French administra- tion of Alsace-Lorraine.
 Emperor Maximilan I called 1t the bulwark of the Holy Roman empire and Louis XIV, when France came into possession of it in 1891, had Vauban, his prolific fort builder, fortify 1t. When the Germans appropriated it after the Franco-Prussian war they constructed elaborate Qualifications, including 1o outer forts, made 1t headquarters Tor an army corps and placed there a gar rison of 16,000 troops.
 "Only 30 miles east of the late French frontier, Strassburg is SS miles north of Basel, by rail, at the conflu- ence of the III and Breuch rivers, only two miles from the Brine. Before the war 1t was the trade Junction of con- verging routes from France, Switzer- land and Germany. Canal connections of the Rhine with the Marne and the Rhone increased it's importance, and nearly 800 acres of wharves and quays on the Rhine facilitated its commerce
 "Its cathedral. whose building ex- fapda5 ouar fo,,r capt,1riac typifiac tn n divers influences to which the city has been subjected. The facade, especially presents a singuiarly happy union of the northern France and German styles of cathedral architecture.
 A large astronomical clock in the transept is an object of wonder to the beholder. An ngel strifies a bell for quarter hours; a genius reverses his hour glass every hour; a symbolic diety steps out of his niche each day-Apollo on Sunday, Diana on Monday, and so on; daily at noon the 12 apostles march around the figure of the Savior, while in the morning a cock on the highest pinnacle stretches his neck, flaps his wings and crows.
 "Strassburg beer was known before Columbus sailed westward, and at tho Kammerzelrsche Haus, which affords an excellent example of half-t timber ar chitecture, one might drink Alsat;an wine in the atmosphere of the middle ages
 Streets of parts of the city left un- damaged by the seven weeks siege Of
