PEACE BRINGS GREAT PROBLEMS
OF GOVERNMENT TO THE
ALLIES,

There are on the western fringe of
Europe the stable governments of
Holland, France, Portugal, Spain,
Switzerland and Italy. To the east
across Germany, Austro-Hungary.
Russia aHd.sthe Balkan states the
whole country is af1ame or shoulder
ing with Anarchy under the various
names of socialism and bolshevikiSm.
With the fall Of the German monar-
l setR the last semblance of former sta
BILE government was wiped out. Now
confronting the allies is the problem
of restoring order out of chaos: the
headS@ 6f HE'D goKeszaznan
binding their energies to this hercu-
lean task, backed by their millions of
soldiers they will enforce peace with
Justice There must be established
territorial lines for government of
the peoples so long subjected to the
iron rule of Germany and her allies.
Following that there must be firmly
seated in each new state a govern
ment of the peoples that will last for
all time-a government that Will not
make war for mere Whim or for pur-
pose of individual or governmental
aggrandiZement
The map shows the present fOrma-
tion of countries in Europe; the boun-
daries established by the armistice.
In studying it one may learn the in
tricate problems that demand the at
tention of the wisest men of all ma
tions in their solution for the best
interests of all mankind.
Alsace-Lorraine is now French
again; Luxemburg is again an inde-
pendent principality; Italy, with her
territory intact as before the war and
with her "Irredenta" again under her
flag. accomplished with one of the
most brilliant war maneuvers record
ed in the history Of all time, and it
will never be forgotten that in freeing
her own beloved country from the in
vader she brought the German powers
to their final downfall.

VERY DEFINITE ACCORD
> REACHED EY COUNCIL

Paris. Feb. 4.-The accord reached
nv the council of the great powers
concerning the disposal of the German
colonies and occupied regions in Tur
kev in Asia is much more definite thar
is generally sAppt sed and, besides &C
ceptance in principle of the American
nlan of mandatories, it embraces the
following main features:
The allied and associated powers
are agreed that the German colonies
shall not be returned to Germany, ow
ing first to mismanagement, cruelty
and the use of these colonies as sub
marine bases.
The conquered regions of Armenia
SYRIA, Mesopotamia, Palestine and
Arabia shall be detached from the
Turkish empire.
"Therefore the object of this paper,
and especially this page, is to go
straight to the point and not deal in
glittering generalities that mean moth

However much we have been able
+o do there is still so much to be done,
so many new opportunities to be de-
veloped, that no one need despair of
a chance to do something worth while.
Opportunity? Why, opportunity is
the cheapest and most plentiful of all
our treasures, Like rich virgin soil,
it only waits to be found and used.

FORD AND HIS ASPIRATIONS.

Henry Ford, who grew tired OF max
ing automobiles, decided :. to revolu-
tfonize things in other directions by
r0nping for senator, but lost out, is
not to be downed, SO he turned to the
Fourth Estate" where he can WELD
tie greatest influence yet # properly
directed, the first issue of his paper
appearing last week. Mr.. Ford's own
page will be the big feature. He says
tie aim of the publication will be to
point out to it's readers the Opportuni-
ties that lie everywhere about them,
and advise how they may be used to
tl.o1r best advantage"
.oucc 9ssful persons often say that
opportunities are just as plentiful a.
they ever we're, but they don't tell
yoI what they are, where to find them
or nov 60 use. them," the paper says
Provision is made whereby the we'll
being and development of backward
colonial regions are regarded as the
sacred trust of civilization, over which
the league of nations exercises super
visory care. The administration or
tutelage of these regions is entrusted
to the more advanced nations, who
will act as mandatories in behalf OF
the league Of nations.
These mandatOrieS are not uniform
but vary according to the degree OF
development of the colonial region
and it's approach to the stage of self
government. @
The mandates in Palestine, Syria
and other portions of Turkey, where
well-developed civilization exists
would be comparatively HghtA
Colonies like those in central Africa
would require mandatory with large
powers of administration as RESPONSE
BILE for the suppression of the slave
trade, the liquor traffic, ammunition
and arms traffic.
Other colonies and localities, such
as those in German southwest Africa.
and some of the south Pacific islands,
have such sparse and scattered popu-
lations and are so separated from
other communities that the laws of
the mandatory country would prob
ably prevail in these regions.
The mandatories will report at
stated intervals to the league of ma
tions concerning the manner in which
a colony is being administered.
' The foregoing geenra1 outline indi-
Gates on broad lines the terms where
by it is declared conflicting views are
finally reconciled and a common
agreement was reached acceptable to
all the great colonial powers.

Monmouth Crops Damaged

KEYPORT. July 24.-The inclem-
ent weather of the past nine days has
been particularly harmful to the
farmers In this vicinity who ave lost
many crops which otherwise would
have proved very valuable. The berry
crop is ruined, b~lackberries and rasp-
berries rotting on the vines owing to
the great downpour which has soft
ened the berries so that picking Is i'm
possible.
Blossoms on the later crop of beans
have been rained off In such quanti-
ties hat it is said the later beans are
a failure. Possibly the heaviest loss
to the farmer Is the ruined tomato
crop. Tomatoes which yer about
ripened at the beginning of the pres
ent rain have rotted on the vines to
such an extent hat they are worth
leas. Those which a not rotted
have cracked making them equally as
valueless.
