WILSON OR BOLSHEVISM?
{By W. W. Pinson.)

NuCnlng Is so evident to a visitor
TO France or Italy at this time as tnc
popularity and prestige Of America
and everything American. It stares
ut you in headlines, in posters, from
show windows: sings to you in the
strains of "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner," keeping time with the MAR
seillaise," and shouts at you in the
instant applause that breaks forth at
the mention of our flag or our presi-
dent in public.
We heard the praise of America on
the lips of Marshal Joffre, that griz-
=ied hero Of the first battle of the
Marine; in the words of Poincare, the
modest president of the heroic de-
mocracy of France, and in the words
q that crowned democrat of the OUR
inal, Victor Emmanuel Third.
We saw the stars and stripes wave
everywhere by the side of the tri-
color and heard its glories sung by
the children of the Savoyan Alps, and
saw it printed on post cards IL Rome
with quotations from the messages Ct
President Wilson. Everywhere ~
heard it in my comrades tone and
saw it in my neighbor's ehoeI,. b.
fore l felt it flush my own"
The deputy project of Lyons said
10 US: "You Americans have the cult
OF the souvenir; you do not forget.
When the infant republic of the West
was in the cradle, France bent over
the cradle like a mother. Now that
the baby has grown to be a giant and
France needs his help, the giant does
not forget, but comes to her side"
There are at least three causes for
this unparalleled popularity of our
nation. The first cause is our Ameri-
can boys. Those two million boys that
went laughing and singing through
their streets bore themselves with
such clean and knightly courtesy to-
wards their women and went smiling
to the lannon's mouth, gave them
new appreciation of American charac-
ter and ideals.
Another cause of our popularity is
Woodrow Wilson He is a popular
idol. l heard an Italian professor in
Rome call him "the president of the
democraeies of the world" That most
charming Southern gentleman, who is
filling with such distinction the posi-
ton of ambassador to Rome. Thomas
Nelson Page, told US that after Mr..
Wilson's visit to Rome, the organ of
the vatican printed leading editorial
headed, at is Wilson or Bolshevism."
The editorial proceeded to argue that
the people of Europe were given their
choice between the principles for
which Wilson stood or the wild vaga-
ries Of Lenine and Trotsky.
Another reason for this popularity
of America is the altruistic spirit
shown in this war. They say, 'rYou
might have let us fight it out while
you got ready to defend yourselves,

 Saving Officers
BY AssociAtS6 Peess

New York, September l0-Although he left this country a stowaway. concealed in a barracks bag dragged aboard transport by sympathetic soldiers near ly two years ago, Maurice Bailey. fs years old, of Jackson, Me, landed from the transport Northern Pacific today, the hero of one of the most interesting episodes of the world war.
 An ugly scar over his right eye is his only service record because he was never officially recorded member of the American expeditionary forces, but a French war cross, pinned on his tunic. bears testimony of his heroism on an autumn day in 1918, when he crawled over a shell torn field in the Foul sec tor and rescued a colonel and two majors of the 18th division who were lying wounded in No Mans Land.
 His brother, Alfred. who enlisted in the 1o3d infantry, and his father, Victor. a sergeant in the 157th infantry. whom he followed to France. were among those killed in action.
 Against the advice and pleadings of his father and brother. Maurice decided to "do his bit' by going to France. He followed the colors of his brothers reg. iment until the war was over.
 While carrying chocolate. cigarettes and water from Y. M. c. A. canteen to the men at the front in tho Chateau Thierry operations in July. 1slS Maurice was struck by 8 piece of shrapnel. Two months later he-rejoined the company which was then about 20 miles from Toul. It was there that he won his decora- tion.
 We were just fighting again and saw two majors lying wounded" he said 'I got a soldier from Company H and we went over to them and also found colonel lying wounded nearby. One of the majors was wounded in the arm and the others leg was half cut off by a shell. The colonel had bad wound on the top of his head and could not see. The soldier picked up the major with the wounded leg and carried hi mon his shoulder. l put the other majors arm around my neck, the colonel grabbed hold of me and we made it to the hospital"

ASSAILS WILSON FOR NOT REDUCING
 COST OF LIVING
By AssocIated Prsss

Washington. September 1o.-Assailing the administration for not reducing tho cost of living, Senator Norris, repub- lican. Nebraska, in the Senate today charged that President Wilson had failed to enforce the law prohibiting hoarding of food.
 Nobody has been prosecuted under these provisions which have been in ef- feet all during the war;" said Senator Norris.
 We cannot legislate wisdom into the minds of the Presidents appointees.
 Senator Norris charged that the ad- ministration's "solicitude over the high cost of living was camouflage."
 The administration" said he, "held back millions of pounds of food. while the people were suffering, preferring that the people should suffer rather than break the market"

QUOTES PROCEEDINGS

Dr. Wilson quoted at some length the proceedings of three recent conventions of the livestock association and said that considerable sums of money had been raised and spent in propaganda to bring about such an investigation.
 w. B. Colver, member of the trade commission, was quoted in the Wilson statement as telling the 1919 convention of the association that i've did what you told us to do.'
 Only three witnesses were called be- fore the agriculture commictee today, all of whom objected to the Kenyon and Kendrick bills embodying the regulatiNe proposals.
 Senator Harrison, democrat, a member of the committee, suggested that inves- tigators should be employed to demand whether or rot the consumer has been given the benefit of recently reduced gets.
 Henry veeder. J. P. Lightfoot and M. W. Borders, attorneys for Swift & Co.,, Wilson & Co. and Morris & Co.,, respect lively. thereupon promised every assist ance to the committee if it would under take such a proceeding, and urged that it be extended to an audit of the ac- counts of the packers. MT. Veeder said that he has no doubt but that Armour &s Co. and Cudahy & Co. would extend the same offer.
 T. c. Park, Tulsa, Okla, retail deal CT, occasioned some questioning when he told the committee that he was at loss to know where this complaint about high prices comes from. because people who ought to know that what they are paying now for living will be cheap com pared with what they'll pay in 60 or 90 days"

ton by DR.. 1. c. White and which was
printed In Tho Inteiitgenccr presented a
new view OF the business of gas pro-
duoticn- It suggested, In short. that
natural gas was worth, as fuel. 500
per thousand cubic feet and that this
should be tho ultimate price goal Of gus
producers. Should tho Wow Of DR.. White
prevail. and there - no doubt but that
he speaks with authority. the PROPOSE
ton Of securing from gas production a
reasonable revenue for state purposes
becomes moro and moro appealing, not 10
say Imperative
From tho modest ratio OF one cent per
thousand cubic foot Wost Virginia could
secure moro revenue from gas than II
now obtains from any other source, nu''
If anything like tho high value pertains
to natural gas that our eminent state
goIogtst affll rnB, certainly tho right to
produce and use such a fuel ought to
be worth O liberal contribution Ia tho
state treasury. In view OF DIR. Whites
suggestions, tho threatened efforts Of
tho gas companies 10 have set ABIDE to
very modest gas tax imposed at the last
