Red Cross Meets Emergency.
Gen. Pershing then told Of the low
morale Of the allies in the fall and
winter of 1917. The British and
French had tried to break through
the German line in the spring Of that
year, but had met with failure and
heavy losses. There were many peo-
Pile that winter who did not believe
the war could be carried on with sue
cess. Even the entry of the Americans
did not encourage them. There was
as it would have been fatal for either
of our allies to fall out, particularly
the French.
Accordingly Majs. Murphy and Jen--
kins. representing the American Red
Cross. and Gen. Pershing held con-
ference to decide which would be the
best way to aid the French army and
the French people. AS result of the
meeting the trio called upon Gen.
Petain. mo man during the war

with a graver task than which fell
to the distinguished general"
Petain welcomed the offers of as
sistance, and it was agreed to make
a large contribution for the relief OF
the families of the French soldiers
many of which were destitute. Ac-
cordingly the French general ascer-
tanned the numbers Of individuals
needing aid the most, and funds were
turned over to him for distribution

This not only helped to build up

Pershing, during that dreadful win

establishing for himself a prestige
which would help him to carry
forward the campaign of the follow

through that act has a place in the
hearts of the French army and the
French people which will be everlast-

ut seems to me that the traditions

Who SLAPPED AMERICA?

The editorial in the Kootenai Valley
Times of last week under the caption.
Congress Slaps America" indicates
that the league propagandists are to
continue their slurs and insinuations
against the greatest body of men ever
assembled. for not yielding to the
whip hand of the administration.
The editor states that the senate
has hit the United States the hardest
blow 1t has ever received. We do not
take this statement very seriously
when we consider that this is simply
the individual opinion of one and most
probably prepared in the headquarters
of the democratic party, among a hun
dred million people, and we have ev-
cry reason to believe this opinion to
be shared by minority of the citi-
zens who can be classed as truly
American.
1t is hard to understand why some
people would work so faithfully to
wipe out one-man autocracy in Europe
and then do all in their power to es-
tablish the same menace in America,
Yes, congress has slapped America
right back into line with our constitu-
ton, American principles and ideals,
and the American people should con-
gratulate themselves on having a SEN
ate at this particular time, that had
the courage to administer the blow,
Bonners Ferry herald., 1919-12-02

although the President of the United
States personally had to suffer the
blow
1t has not been the practice of the
United States to permit constitutions
to be framed by the mere ukase of an
executive. A matter of this kind may
be settled in Japan by a decree of the
mikado, but not yet in America, des-
pite the activities of our homegrown
monarchists and their organized prop
aganda against traditions, institu-
tions and laws of this republic.
Congress has slapped America right
on the head and thus has performed a
service which will prove of immeas-
urable value in its courageous and eff
fective fight in behalf of its own con-
stitutional prerogatives and in behalf of
the rights, interests and ideals of the
American people. 1t may be assumed
that never again in the history of
the republic will chief executive at
tempt to establish the novel and un-
constitutional doctrine that ii is within
the power of one man in America who
happens to be the chief executive of
the nation, to sign, seal and deliver a
contract involving the sovereignty and
independence, the rights and interests
of the American people. Such an eff
fort must, hereafter, as it has in this
case. result in defeat and humiliation
