THE BACKBONE OF PEACE
Until Real Order Comes Uncle SAM
Must Remain Watehfuiiy
on the Job.

The armistice was signed back in
November of last year, but since the
cessation Of hostilities, Europe has
been bubbling volcano, bubbling with
riots. unrest. sedition, Bolshevism and
all manner of disturbances.
No man can say when order, un-
doubted order. will be restored. No,
one can tell how long it will oe till
orderly, strong, clean and sane gov,
ernments will be set up.
Until order does come Uncle Sam
will be watchfully on the job He
does not vans the results of year
Of hard fighting and untold nation IL
effort to be wasted. He cannot af-
ford to turn Ms back. go away and
have another dangerous situation
arise. y
Here in America We may as well
make up our minds to that end. We
Americans have duty to our govern
ment to perform That duty is to
back up until America and the nations
associated with America have put an
end to possibilities of trouble in the
world
than to hurry home, leaving the Euro
pean nations and the rest of the world
to get along as best they may Czar
Nicholas Is dead. He is only mem
Ory in Russia now The Romanoff
family perished with it's head. But
since the day of his abdication, there
has not been one hour of order in
Russia. Bolshevfsts overthrow Ker.
ensky, who is well nigh forgotten.
Rioting and mur,.el, have become com.
.monDlaces of EsTssssian- .Lfas From bad
to worse the situation went It is
now utter chaos in the old land Of the
Cars.
It is much the same in Germany,
No man to this day knows what will
finally happen there. Austria is ripped
ami torn by dissension. In the north
the German Austrians are uniting witt,
such cr6er as they may find in Ger
many. In the center the Czecho-Slavs
are setting up nation. In the south
the Jugo-slavs are building up a new
country, unsettling old conditions
there and causing dangerous situa.
ton in the Balkans and the Adriatic
littoral
Doubtless the peace conference de
cisions will be accepted in the end
But in the meanwhile what will occur ?
Who is to enforce the decisions if they
are disputed? How can these be en-.
forced without money and men?
The United States sponsored the
League of Nations. Unless America
backs it with its force and with its
money it will not be worth the pape:
its principles are. written on. How
! else can America back it financially
save by raising loans and collectina
revenues? Have you considered tha,
