propaganda and the Matching of plots
to break the unity of the American
people It was their hope that the
work they could do while living under
the protection of the American flag
would bring that same flag down to
defeat. Some of these dangerous
aliens have given evidence of change
of mind and have been released to con-
tinue to live here among their old as
sociations. Some time ago it was
stated that there were still about
thousand of the dangerous class in
internment camps, but as the pro-
posed bill for congress provides for
returning 500 to Germany, it is evil
dent that every possible leniency has
been shown to those who would give
any indication of becoming loyal res
idents of America.
For the rest. they should be sent
home, never to be allowed to land here
again.

ton, 1889. The best authorities are
doubtful as to the story of it's origin,
but there are three principal theories
as to the derivation of it's combina-
ton.
The first of these, and the most
authentic, is that after the taking of
the Bastile, when Lafayette had been
appointed by reclamation command
err in chief of the National Guard. he
devised for the Guard a new cockade
made of the white of the royal FAM
lily and of the colors of Paris time out
of mind, which were and continue to
be red and blue. From this cockade,
most historians believe, came the
French national flag
Another version links the tricolor
with the three historic flags of France
the blue of the Chape de Martin
the red of the orifiamne, and the
white of the Bourbons. 1t will be re-
called that the Chape de Martin was
which ST. Martin divided with beg
gar at Amiens, which act was follow
ed by a vision of Christ making
known this deed of charity. The
chape was in the keeping Of the
monks of Marn1outier, and Clovis car
while Char1emagne bore it at Mar
bonnie. When the kings of France
transferred the seat of government to
Paris, the local saint, ST. Denis, was
held in high honor, and gradually the
plain scarlet banner, known as the
orifamme, and kept in the abbey
church, supplanted the blue of st.
Martin as the national colors The
orif1amme appeared for the last time
at the battle of Agincourt, in 1415. The
Hugenot party in France adopted the
white flag, and when Henry III, him
self a Protestant, came to the throne
he made it the royal ensign. His
successor, Henry ", the first king
of the Bourbons, adopted it as the
national flag.
The third account of the Tricoler's
origin is that it is copied from the
shield of the Orleans family, as it ap-

The same day 10000 raincoats, many
of them having been used by American
soldier during the war, were sold for
250 600 marks.
The Germans eagerly buy anything
offered by the American, particularly
any articles containing leather or
rubber. Ten thousand American
made gas masks were sold few days
ago to civilians who planned to make
use of the rubber for commercial pur-
poses. More than one hundred tons
of harness, some of it German made
and abandoned after the armistice,
were disposed of at a recent auction
sale near Coblenz.

When the solid democratic south

the democratic party whenever the
voters got a chance to voice their
convictions with the ballot
The latest to repudiate President
Wilson and his party is the eighth
congressional district in Kentucky,
which has just elected a republican
nominee. King Swope. to congress.
Democratic allegiance had been so
strong in the Kentucky Eighth dis

inevitably doomed to defeat; since
1856 the dominant party had not had
TO face a serious fight This year the
fight was made on the platform of
the League OF Nations. In this rock
ribbed democratic stronghold. this was
the issue that was put squarely up to
the voters by the republicans who
called upon them to support the
American system of government and
American independence. President
Wilson and President Wilson's poll
efes proved too heavy a load for the
democratic campaigners with all the
prestige they enjoyed from the tradi-
1ional loyalty of this district to the
democratic party
Kentucky adds one more to the
Ienzthenfng list of defeat for Presi-

be swept into oblivion when the vot
ers next speak in a national election.

MILITARY TRAINING.

A system of three months of mill
tary training for all youths in their
nineteenth year, as embodied in the
report of Secretary Baker to the SEN
ate and house military committees
will generally be approved. though so
new a departure from this govern
ments practice hitherto. In hundreds
of cases of youths returning from
their recent army experiences, though
the time they spent may have been
brief. the comment has been heard
from relatives and friends. We'll. it
certainly did him a lot of good
: In an age when it has been claimed
that the freedom of American youth
had brought about a lack of respect
for authority, a lack of discipline, an
indisposition to assume responsibility.
the army training apparently sup
piled these missing elements in many
cases. Added to this was the superb
physical condition which the army
medical regulations brought about for
the men. an invaluable equipment for
the battle of life.
The time which a young man will
be called upon in order to fill his mil
itary obligation to the government is
inconsiderable and will be given at a
period when it will the least interfere
with his. expectations and plans for
civic life.
Secretary Baker also seems to have
recognized that it would be dangerous
economy TO get down to an army of
225. goo men which he at one time adj
vocated. Considering the widespread
area and scattered locations of our
