LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
QUOTATION WANTED

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Can any one locate the following
paragraph and tell where the article
from which 1T is taken may be
found and who the author is?
But now we cometo the last, and
perhaps the greatest debt which. not
only America but every civilized and
honorable nation owes to France. a
barbaric and deluded people, led by
an insane and criminal monarch,
threatened to conquer the Nations of
the world, and in place of their more
democratic governments, to substi-
tute one based upon the principle
that Might makes Right, But when
their countless hordes, having swept
all resistance before them, Came 10
the Marine, and were on the eve of
victory, France arose and said Thou
shalt not pass!' and they did not
pass. For, just as many hundred
years ago she checked Attila and his
Huns at Chalons and stopped the
Saracen armies at Tours, so on that
memorable day in September, 1914,
she stood like adamant, and sent the
invader recoiling almost to his own
borders; and in that battle of the
Marne, were modern civilization and
ideals saved for the world"

Willows Guard Grand Pre-
IFrom the Detroit News1


The Annapolis Valley in Nova
Scotia, Canada, and the country of
which Wolfville is the center, is the
land of Evangeline. made immortal
in Longfellow's poem. Grand Pre-,
the little village which was the
scene of the deportation of the
Acadians in 1775, is only a short
distance from Wolfville, but little
is left of the village where the
tragedy told of by the poet was
enacted.
The chief objects of interest in
what was once Grand Pre-, are the
mammoth, gnarled ancient willows,
which stand, a conspicuous group,
amid the fertile green meadows and
serve as a windbreak. They show
their age, these ancient trees. and
were undoubtedly planted by the
French Canadians, for the Acadians
invariably planted willows wherever
they settled and these trees are per-
petual memorials of them.
Besides the willows there may be
seen at the site of Grand Pre- the
old well. portions of the foundations
of the Church of st. Charles and
some stones that mark the site of
the priests house.
THESE willow trees are always
visited by tourists, and although his
tory does not exactly tally with the
poets account of the deportations of
the Acadians, and though there
may be a division of opinion as to
the justice of the act by the English
in the deportation of the Acadians,
the old willows tell no tales, but
stand, sturdy and strong, and are
slightly landmarks still hale and Wig
orous.

SAME OLD GAME

" HE McSparrens, the Creaseys
and others who misrepresent
the State Grange are raving
over the increased cost of roads, just
as though good roads could be built
at low cost when prices of labor, ma
terial and everything else entering
into them are the highest in the his
tory of the country.
The McSparrens and the Creaseys
are the same men who a year or two
ago were telling us that the farmers
did not want good roads by means of
4 State loan and would turn down
the proposition at the fall elections.
The majority by which the loan car
ried shows how little they know of
the real sentiments of the farmers,
who appreciate what the State is do
ing for them and are going calmly
on their way regardless of the chat
tering of this little band of self
seekers.

The Republican Attitude

IFrom the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.l
The statement of Will H. Hays,
chairman of the Republican Natonai
Committee, in regard to the League
of Nations should serve to clear the
air. Mr.. Hays has spent much time
in Washington of late, conferrins
with Republican Senators, and What
he saws is undoubtedly in accord
with the convictions of the great
majority of the Republican members
of that body. 1t expresses, we may
assume, the attitude of the of1lclal
leaders of the Republican party.
For emphasis, as we'll as for the
purpose of discussion, we repeat MI
Hays statement here:
THE situation respecting tne
League covenant is simply TINS:
There must be effective reservations;
These reservations must safeguard
tbe sovereignty of the United States
in every particular; must guarantee
the Monroe doctrine beyond the
shadow of doubt; must either
eliminate Article X entirely or so
modify it that our own Congress
shall be morally as well as legally
free after a specified period to de-
eide when and where and to what
extent our soldiers shall be en-
ployed; must retain our full control
of immigration, tariff and all other
purely domestic policies, and must
proyide full right to withdraw from
the League at any time without him
drance or conditions of any kind,
upon giving suitable notice. lt is
I'D to the administration to decloe
whether it will or will not accept
these essential guarantees OF Amerl-
can independence, which would un-
questionably be promptly accepted
by the other nation
Let it be noted, in the first place,
that there is here no question of q
I,eague or no League. That ques-
tion is already settled, and all the
talk against a League of Nations, or,
| if YOU please, against the League OF
Nations as a whole, is altogether lr-
relevant. The League of Nations is.
1t was before President Wilson went
| to France, 1t was not created by
him or by any other man. 1t was
created by the war. The covenant
| of the League is but the flesh for
an entity that already existed in
spirit, and which the great majority
of thinking and forward-looking
men all over the world realize must
| be nourished and sustained. Nor is
this statement of Mr.. Hays in any
sense antagonistic to the League or
to the covenant of the League. 1t in
sists, it is true, upon certain reserva-
tions, but by the mere statement OF
these reservations it is plainly i'm
piled that If they are made the cove
nant is acceptable. Not one of these
reservations would alter a single line
of the provisions of the covenant
creating the essential machinery of
| the League.

- EST we forget, there is an obli-
cation resting upon the people
- of Harrisburg to cooperate
with the Commonwealth in every
possible way in it's plans for the de-
velopment of the Capitol Park civic
center which must mot be over
looked. Already we have deter
mined that the new high school
shall be located elsewhere than on
this beautiful park frontage, but
there are other buildings of public
character in contemplation big
auditorium of Zembo Temple and
the combined city hall and court
house-and it ought to be the pleas
ure and the ambition of all concern
ed to work out, with the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings, such
plans as will enable the city to do
it's part in creating this dignified
civic development.
Our City Planning Commission
has done many admirable things and
nothing more important than the
recently submitted scheme for the
changing of streets and the creation
of a small lake at Division and Third
streets, Qtalian Park), but there is
still much more to do and we believe
the City Council and all others in
authority are more than willing to
aid the commission in it's unselfish
and constructive program.
Officials of the Commonwealth, in
Guiding the members of the Board of
Public Grounds and Buildings, are in
thorough accord with the Harris
burg plans for betterment, and they
will expect the city to do its full
share in making the environment of
the Capitol all that is contemplated
in the comprehensive scheme design
ed by Arnold w. Drummer in con-
sultation with Governor Sproul and
those associated with him.

Tdrred With the Same Old
Brush
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer

(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)
Germany lives on though wound
ed sorely. We must do all in our
power to bring the German spirit,
German education and German Kul-
tur to the American people,"
This was not said in Berlin, but
New York. The occasion was a
meeting of German Americans for
starting a relief fund to be expend-
ed in Germany. And the six hun
dred present cheered to the echo
these and similar other utterances.
No one will quarrel with the pur-
pose of the meeting. 1t is natural
and proper that those of German
blood in America should seek to les
sen the sufferings of their brethren
across the sea. But the spirit here
manifested is not compatible with
loyalty. 1t is the spirit which was
SO offensive before America entered
the war and so dangerous after. Its
recrudescence cannot be tolerated
now.

"UnproDoked Aggression"
[ From the New Republic. ]

Y
How do we get around the fact
that the proposed Anglo-Franco-
American alliance violates the ad-
dress of September 27, the terms of
the armistice, the address of Decem-
Der 30th, and the spirit of the cove
nant itself? BY the invention of
one of the most extraordinary
phrases in the ingenious language
of diplomacy, "Unprovoked aggres-
sion" The New Republic is pre-
pared to offer anyone, including Mr..
Wilson, handsomely bound set of
Mr.. Wilson's speeches for a consistent
Interpretation of this phrase. If
there is such a thing as an unpro-
voked aggression there must also
be such a thing, as provoked aggres-
sion. Who under this treaty de-
cides which it is? And having de-
cided, what do we do in the case of
a provoked aggression. Do we not
come to the aid of the victim? In
other words do we tolerate some
kinds of aggression? Does the
League have anything to say as to
whether the aggression is provoked
or unprovoked? Do we go to war
under the treaty if it is unprovoked
and under the covenant if it is pro-
voked?
The words are sound, not mean
ing. They are put together not to
signify a diplomatic reality but as
propaganda for the alliance. They
are phrase like black black OF
noisy noise. Their purpose is to
neutralize American objection by
seeming to obligate us only to the
very quintessence of sterilized limo.
cence. They betray a lamentable
confusion of mind and a gross ex-
ploitation of the gullibility of the
American Nation.

The Story of the American Legion
BY George Seay Wheat, with illus
trations by G. P. Putnam & Sons,
New York, publishers. I1.50 net.
This is the first volume of series
which will form a complete and
lasting record of the story of the
American Legion. Successive vol
umes will be issued following each
annual convention containing a full
account of that convention, and of
the Legion's activities and growth
throughout the coutry for the cur
rent year.
The American Legion is the most
far-reaching influence in America
to-day. Potentially it's membership
is four million. 1t stands for poll
cies, not politics" 1t is nonpartisan
and nopsectional. Above everything,
it is American. Every American
should read The Story of the Amer
tcan Legion"

EFLECTING the Telegraph's
views on the folly of ex-
~ travagance in dress, the Kan
sas City Times goes farther and
blames much of the profiteering on
the tendency of the public to buy,
not only clothing, but anything else
it may want at any price asked.
The Times observes:
Perhaps the feeling that money
counts for SO little and that ~
might as well go anyway, ana
for one thing as well as anoth-
er, explains in part this peculiar
situation. Centainly, the buying
power of the American dollar has
been decreased about forty per
cent. and some estimates make IL
decline in value still more. w nat
ever its exact value relative to
the pre-war period, money
talks" more quietly to-day than
for many year. ,
Yet the enormous amount OF
money in circulation means that
more people are in possession OF
fairly large sums than in normal
times. This, of course. is readlIy
explained by high wages during
the war and to the preseht LILY; .line
and by the economy largely
forced, while hostilities were IN
prorress. While the big fortunes
of the war have gone INTO thc
hands of the few. wage increases
and enforced economy for a year
- a half affected large portions
~ the people, many of whom hao
not heen accustomed to the pos
session of more than actual eN-
pense money before.
These people take high prices as
matter of course. They ask few
questions, but they get what tneir
desire happens to be. That is not
good either for them or for the couh-
try. The skies are bright over heao'
+bev saw. so why worry about the
possibility of a rainy day? But
rainy days are ahead, be sure Oh
that: they always are, whether IN
the way of personal misfortune or
countrywide panic, and the man
who has lived up to his means is
the first to suffer when the clouds
begin to gather. He has provided
for himself neither a roof for his
head nor the wherewith to supply
himself during the season of ad-
versity.
II is one thing to go about clad
an fine raiment and eating costly
foods and another thing to have no
clothing or food whatsoever, and the
man who is extravagant in his day
of plenty is apt to be in sorest
straits when the harvest time is
over.
