Six years ago the capers now being cut in
Italy would have excited us here and stirred
our anger and yellow newspapers and
hystericai souls would have been screaming
for war. Now We unanimously look with
stold, impassive, absolutely unconditional good
hanlor. We have learned our own fearful
power so we'll and demonstrated 1t SO grandly
that the passions OF less potent peoples blow
by US like feathers drifting with the wind.

The country never registered a protest at
the imposition of increased war taxes on
drinks with kick in them, but hear the
howl that will now go up over the tax TO be
collected direct from the patrons of the cold
drink stands. The public is willing to pay
for what it likes, but it dislikes TO have to
pay extra for the privilege of drinking some
thing for which it has no particular liking.

Poland wants credit from the United
States Of s450,00o,0o0, and it agrees to ex-
pend the full amount here in the purchase of
foodstuffs for its hungry population The
credit should be extended without delay
The American people, have no objection to
lending Poland all the money it needs TO put
it in the way of self-supporting existence
The Poles are the friends of liberty, intelli-
gently exercised and to help them now in
their need means 10 make Polish territory an

Disappointment will be felt throughout the
country over the mental attitude of certain
high officers in the United States Army to-
wards the effort to eliminate the harsh and

which the army records show have resulted
in such cruel injustice These officers testi-

Present attitude OF Americans in the Vic
tory loan drive is comparable with that OF
the shipwrecked mariner who quickly turned
from his faith in prayer when land unex-
pectedly came into view. Americans sup
ported tho colors while the war was on but
now, with peace in sight, they are desert
ing them by millions. BY no other name but
deserdon can. their failure 10 subscribe to
the Victory bonds be described 1t NAV be
the result OF apathy dissemination to make
further financial sacrifice, 1t may be uncon-
scfous disloyalty, but it is disoyalty inst the
same, desertion Of the flag when the danger
seems to be over. But four days remain in
which to complete the loan, and more than
one-half the total must be subscribed IN
that time If the nation is not TO be dishon-
ored. Surely no Virginian will desert the
flag now, the flag that brought his country
through to victory. If he would not, then
the only way in which continued allegiance
can be proclaimed is to buy bond.

Luxemburgers Divided 6 Ways

the invaders"
Tanning tho flame OF resentment,
Marie received h kaiser at her pal
ace in Luxembourg in TIT autumn of
that same year.
In the winter of 1918. she sent II
telegram 10 the kaiser, il is alleged.
praying God" for the triumph of Ger
many
In the immediate encourage of the
grand duchess all are German.
In view of all these facts, and the
fact that the clerical party commands
but 81 out of 40 votes in the House of
Deputies. there is every prospect OF
revolutionary proceedings in Luxem-
burg.
Whatever its outcome. it seems un-
likely that Marie Adelaide will retain
her power.
Demonstrations have already taken
place for he- a~bdication. and threats
have been made that, if h does NOT
gracefully retire, she will be removed
forcibly.
Luxembourg covers an area of 9SS
square miles and has a population or
250, 900. It's northern part is noun
famous. the south extremely fertile.
It's iron mines afford its greatest
wealth. There are ~eighty-three OF
them, and they employ 5000 people.
while the steel mills and foundries OF
the country produce goods to h value
OF S2S, 00O, 900 each year.
Army of Luxegnburg Numbers $50 Men
In peace lines Luxembourg has an
army OF $50 members and a geHd-
rmerie Of like strength.
French is the language of the edu-
Gated: German, mixed with French.
that OF the peasants.
Luxembourg was one of the petty
pr~incipalities of the Holy Roman ert-
pire of the Germans. In 1443. it fell
into the hands of Spain, and, in 1913.
was transferred to Austria. 1t was
ceded TO France in 1897. 1t was raised
to q grand duchy in 1915 by the cour-
Gil at Vienna, and was under the o
ereignty of the King of the Neither
lands. When Belgium became an IN
dependent kingdom, in 1881. Luxem-
burg was divided between Belgium
and Holland. the latter country hold
ing little more than the city of Lux
emburg. In 1899. by the treaty OF
London, another part was taken from,
Belgium and added to form the pres
ent grand duchy. In 1857, Luxem-
burg was made a neutral sovereign
state by action of an International con-
ference at London.
German plots to gain control of the
country through the marriage of Prin-
cess Antonio, third sister of the grand
duchess. IL Rupprecht OF Bavaria,
have. of course, gone for nought.
