Gently returned from Ceylon have re-
ported the existence OF a species OF
ant that has been observed in the act

MARSHAL FOCH INSISTS
on "PEACE OF VICTORS'
Says Allies "Must Stay on the
Rhine" and Double-Lock
the. Door.

LONDON. April 19.-The correspond
ent of the Daily Mail in Paris sends
an interview he had with Marshal
Foch, in which the marshal is quoted
as declaring that "our peace must be
a peace of victors and not of van
quished.'
I'VE must stay on the Rhine" Mar
shal Foch said. pray impress that
on your countrymen. 1t is our only
safety and their only safety. We
must double-lock the door.
Remember those seventy million
Germans will always be a menace to
us. They are an envious and warlike
people. Their characteristics are not
changed. Fifty years hence they will
be what they are today. Do not trust
the appearances of the moment"
Marshal Foch then discussed with
the correspondent the possibilities of
another war. Asserting that what
saved the allies at the beginning of
on whose side Russia would be in the
next war. with US or with the Ger
mans?"
The marshal then argued that only
on the Rhine itself would it be pos
sible to arrest the Germans in the
event of another attack. He talked
long and earnestly about the Rhine
and said that some people would OBJ
ject that it would take too many
troops to hold the river.
But it will not take so many as it
would to hold political frontier.
for the Rhine may be crossed only at
certain points. whereas a new -poIit-
ical frontier TO France can be broken
anywhere" he said.
The next time. remember. the Ger
mans will make no mistake" said
Marshal Foch. "They will break
through into northern France and
seize the channel ports as a base of
operations against England. They
failed the last time because they did
not believe England would come in.
and when they found she was coming
in it was too late to change their
plan.
You think the Germans will have.
no arms for another attack Ho. Ho.
How do you know? BY the time you
found out they had got them it would
be too late"

RULING ON TRAVEL PAY
FOR THE SERVICE MEN
Controller Holds Allowance to Dis
charged Soldiers Covers Fare
Only to Place of Muster.

Travel allowances of cents a mile
to discharged soldiers authorized by a
recently enacted law can be paid only
to cover expenses from the point
where the soldier was discharged to
the place where he was originally
mustered into the service. Controller
of the Treasury w. w. Warwick has
transmitted a ruling to this effect to
the War Department.
If the soldiers home is greater
distance from the rehabilitation
camp than the place from which he
entered the service. the controller
ruled, it will be necessary for him to
present a claim to the War Depart
ment for the difference between the
amount actually spent by him in
reaching his home and that paid to
him upon his discharge.
The opinion was rendered at the
request of Senator Chamberlain of
Oregon. retiring chairman of the Sem
ate military committee, following the
receipt of complaints from soldiers
who came from California to Camp
Meade. Nd, to enlist and upon being
discharged were without sufficient
funds to pay their fares back to the

Just Folks
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
LIES VOLUME.

When life's last page before us lies
And we have grown SO old and wise
From pondering the volume through
What shall we gather in review,
What but some loved ones lovely smile
Shall we determine most worth while?
There at the ending of life's book
Wen turn for Just one backward look
And come to find that home and friends
The gold we gathered and the fame
Vanished as swiftly as they came
The early chapters when we dreamed
Were not as glorious as they seemed.
Then we were hot for strife and sought
The distant goals for which men fought.
Envied, were envied in our turn.
And quarreled over selfs concern.
Here were great disappointments met
That caused us sorrow and regret,
Yet we outliyed them all. and faced
The next days labor. undisgraced.
And found this truth. through good or
i'll
The loyal friend is loyal still.
Much that we toiled for. craved and got
Thought worthy once, now matters not,
But that which counted we shall find
Was when another called US kind.
And those days at our best were spent
Which left US rich with sentiment
When life's last page before US lies
And we have learned its volume wise
We shall not count our coins Of gold
Nor live the days when we were bold.
The days that saw our loved ones smile
VIII be the joys we hold worth while.
