Peace Conference and Allies.
From the Pike County Journal.

We must confess that we are at loss
to know who are the parties who are grant
ing peace or the parties who are seeking
peace.
Germany has refused to sign and is sug-
costing just what she will and what she will
not do, and there the matter stands. We
thought that last Friday meant the last word
had been said, but alas there seems to be
interminable proposals from Germany,
and the conquerors are translating her
dutch into English and French for the allies.
Does it mean that the allies consider
themselves over matched by the Germans
Will there ever be a peace at this rate?
1t matters not what terms are agreed upon
Germany will never consider them binding
or sacred.
The whole history of this accused ma
ton has been one of treachery and decep-
ton and wholly unreliable.
The world is growing weary of this con-
fab, and is wanting some end to the CAB
fest.
Mr. Wilson is badly needed at home, and
we are of the opinion he has served his day
of usefulness at this conference. If we are
wrong we are sorry, as we believe he has
stood more and has been in the thick of all
this mess from the start, and thus at dis
lance it seems that he has greatly lost his
influence and his presence has become neg
lgible.
We are of the opinion that the great OPP
portunity has passed when the allied army
did not grind Germany into dust when she
asked for an armistice; then she would have
signed whatever terms were demanded, ana
might by now have been a better friend than
she will be hereafter.

There are many things pleasant and COM
forting about that local, neighborly devo-
ton which often overlooks delinquencies and
shortcomings in fellow man, and supports
and sustains him in both his sorrows and his
ambitions. Be this heritage of ancient
clannishness or what not, it is, on the whole,
a commendable quality in our modern exist
ence. The man within the fold of the COM
munity is to be considered before the one
beyond the gates

THE PERSON WITH FORCED LAUGH

From the Winder News
A disgusting thing that is being drawn
on the reading public by the daily papers
is photographs of women with their mouths
wide open. They are supposed to be laugh
ing, but the most of them look as if they
were suffering with lock-iaw. We make it
a rule to keep safe distance from any
man or woman who employs a forced laugh.

Colonel McRae's immortal poem, as wei

Colonel McRae's immortal poem, as well
as numerous other illusions to the poppy
fields of France, has tended to hallow that
flower in the hearts of Americans. The
flaming blossom has, in fact, by its associa-
ton with the final resting places of our SOL
der dead, become as something sacred. This
implies the redemption of a name, for the
poppy-long identified with the vile opium
trade-was not until now cherished in the
purer hearts of the world. Most of the
change must be credited to the universal
grip of tiny but impelling poem
