NOW THAT 1T is ALL OVER

NOW THAT 1T is ALL OVER.
Did you ever hike millions of miles
And carry a ton on your back
And blister your heels and your
shoulders, too,
Where the straps run down from
your pack?
In the rain or the snow or the mud
perhaps,
In the smothering heat or the cold?
If you have then you know you are
buddy Of ours,
And welcome into our fold.
Did you ever eat with your plate in
your lap,
With your cup on the ground at
your side;
While the coolies and bugs OF species
untold
Dance fox trots over your hide?
Did you ever sleep in tent so small
That your head and your feet play
ed tag?
Then shake, old man, you're a pal of
ours,
For we've followed the same old
flag.
Did you ever stand in a front line
trench
With Fritzie a few feet away?
With ferries and Minnies awhist-
ling round
And gas coming over all day?
With No Mans Land a sea of steel,
And a tempest of bursting shell?
Then come in old man, and toast
your shins,
For we're all just back from He'll,

Yes, a bottle of wine. What have

Matthias produced his wine and it

Get Off the Sucker List!
Are YOU on the sucker list?

Are you on the sucker list?
If you are it is probably because you are not
a sucker but patriotic citizen who has known
the Liberty Bond to be good thing.
Get-rich-quick swindles have been the great
American sport for years. The sharpers who sell
fake stocks saw their game endangered when
Uncle Sam started his great Liberty Loan CAM
raigns.
But they are smart-these gentlemen who
live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they jumped in and
put themselves and all their employees to work
trading their fake stuff for Liberty Bonds.
If you have Liberty Bond or book of War
Saving Stamps you are prospect Tor take
stock. Your name is probably on the sucker list
of the oily tongued sharper because over 70 mil
lion patriots bought Liberty Bonds.
You are not to blame for being on the sucker
list but it is up to you to get off-away off-that
list at your first opportunity.
The American people are paying out some
half billion dollars year to the support OF
worthless stock schemes. The people reap there
from $500, 100000 worth of-thin air.
That is not wild guess. It is the estimate
given by the Capital Issues committee of the U.
s. Treasury. And the committee assures us that
it is conservative.
Moreover, the half billion represents just the
cold cash that is turned in every year by other
wise level-headed Americans seeking milk-and-
honey path to quick wealth by the fake stock
certificate route. 1t does not take into account
the vast economic loss incident to broken for
tunes, impaired effort of discouraged investors
and to the diversion from legitimate business
enterprise of new productive capital
The Capital Issues committee charged with
keeping the nations investment dollars on a
work or-fight basis during the war, has made a
searching inquiry into the devious by-ways of
fraudulent stock promotion It's conclusion is
that never perhaps in the history of the country
has wildcat promotion been so flagrant-from
coast to coast-as today.

of sediment, the channels often get
sore and irritated, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Debate on the League of Nations


Not since the momentous days preceding the
Civil War has the American public been so deeply
interested in debate on question OF national,
in fact of international interest it was in the
Lodge-Lowell debate More than $4,000 applica-
tions were made for seats. They came from all
parts of the country.
Interest in the subject of the proposed league
is growing more intense and the people want all
the information they can get on this vitality i'm
portant matter.
1t is evident from the interest in the debate
between Senator Lodge and President Lowell
that the league of nations is to be thoroughly
tested in the forum of national discussion. The
Lodge-Lowell debate one of the first times
in many years that two men of national prom
inence appeared in joint discussion on an i'm
portant matter.
The formation Of an organization which will
have for its object the enlightenment of the pub
lie on the league of nations will also be fruitful
of good results in this connection. Henry Wat
terson, the veteran editor will be president of
this organization and George w. Pepper of Phila-
delphia, leading constitutional lawyer, will be
a directing supervisor. Prominent senators of
both parties and nationally known publicists are
associated in the organization. 1t proposes to
send speakers broadcast throughout the country
TO instruct the people on the factors involved in
President Wilson's proposed league.
All these manifestations should assure the
people of the United States that the merits and
dement's of the project will be thoroughly dis
closed. Public discussion will permit the people
to formulate their own judgment and ultimately
to guide the senator's who will officially pass upon
the adoption election of the league. The
greatest debate in the history of the nation is i'm
1ninent. Public debates have always had an ap-
peal to the American who enjoys listening to a
public speaker who is so well informed that he
can adapt his arguments to the thrusts of an op-
ponent who is on the same stage with him.
Eliminating entirely all political partisanship,
the appearance of Senator Watson in this city to
discuss the proposed league should be hailed with
acclaim by the people of Wayne county, for it
will give them opportunity to why some
of the ablest statesmen and thinkers of this
country find Objectionable features in the coven-
ant as at present drafted. The warmest advo-
cate of league of nations must concur in the
opinion generally held throughout the United
States that this national discussion of the ques-
ton will be of inestimable value.
1t affects too closely the liberties of millions
of people and is such radical departure from our
established national policy that the adoption or
rejection of the league by the senate ought not
to be the judgment of one man or of group of
men. The collective judgment of the American
people should be accepted and this decision can
come only after the American people have OBJ
tanned full knowledge of the provisions of the
