the bandits and the two mounted
Matlock's horse The bandits deman-
ed the remainder Of the ransom
money from Captain Matlock, and
Davis answered by riding rapidly
away.
The aviators landed from, the Am
erican side of the river, Lieutenant
Peterson said. Upon their arrival at
Candelaria a week ago Sunday their
engine developed trouble and they
were forced to land.
The two aviators then tried to find
their way to the nearest army camp
and became confused. They walked
and swan down the Rio Grande dur
ing Monday, Lieutenant Peterson
said, and then hired Mexican burros
after Peterson developed fever.
They had started for Candelaria
when an armed Mexican overlook
them and made them prisoners. They
were unarmed.
They were overtaken by band of
armed bandits. Lieutenant Peterson
said, and a crowd of people from a
little town. They continued on their
forced journey until Friday night,
when the bandits compelled the avia-
tors to write messages demanding
ransom and telling of the death
threat.

Nor spooning, either. So ruled the
Springfield park board
Announcement that the board in

to love making on the park benches.
Young folks became frantic. An
nouncement by the board was quickly
made.
The park board doesn't take cog
nizance Of mere kissing or a little
spooning SO long as the spooning is
in the proper way. Boys and girls
are human, and the parks are big.
Anyway, it would be an impossible
task. 1t can't be done Our police

Army Discipline Investigation

The investigation of the brutal treatment al
legged to have been received by American soldiers
in the prison camps of France should go deep
enough to fix the responsibility and to bring
about adequate punishment for the officers res
ponsible.
Every American favors discipline and knows
that an arnny's morale depends upon it's willing
ness to obey orders. Infractions of regulations
must be punished. No one will quarrel with that
principle. But when extreme brutality governs
the infliction Of punishment, when harsh methods
are used merely for the Joy it produces in the
heart of the men administering discipline the
system is all wrong and deserves bitter condena-
nation. That is Prussianism at its worst.
Some of the testimony presented by privates
who suffered under the tortures inflicted by
'thardboied" Smith savors of the day when sail
ors were dashed and inhumanly treated at the be-
hest of tough" captains. That such practices
actually were employed in the American army
almost staggers belief and would be discounted
if it were not for the multiplicity Of the testi-
mony and the universal agreement as to details
which the privates presented. Sergeants who
were on duty in the "prison camps" swore that
they were ordered to punish the men brutally so
as to destroy all desire to be sent back to these
places of torture again.

Headline Readers

An old-tiner with failing eyesight was heard
to says II don't read nothing in the newspapers
no more except the headlines. can guess at the
rest" Perhaps It Is from lack Of time, or per-
haps Of inclination that Henry Ford contents him
self with headlines only. Or maybe he, too be-
Geves that he can "guess at the rest
Mr.. Ford's admission on the witness stand
the other day ought not to shock us greatly, for
are we not In large degree a nation of headline
readers? How many Of us go through paper
thoroughly, getting the meat out of all the prin-
cipal news stories, improving wits on the
editorial page and adding to our general store Of
knowledge and practical sense by Analysing what
we have read?
How is it with the rest Of us? Do we not often
find ourselves Swimming the headlines on the
first page, and then jumping to the sport page
for painstaking study of the standing of the
teams?
Are we not more interested in the national
league or the city league than we are in the
peace league?
Most Of US are ready to debate the merits or
dement's of the treaty, which we have not read.
We know all about the iniquity of the Shantung
settlement without having read the terms. The
league of nations has millions Of friends and
mics for mere dozens who have xead and studied
the text Of the covenant.
We are always ready to air our views on al
most any topic that comes up, no matter how
loath we may be to study. Anyone who cares for
a bit Of self examination may be appalled, if he
will in a detached sort Of way apply the acid of
analysis to his own conversation.
If you, reader, will listen to yourself talk for
a quarter Of an hour, you may check up on the
profundity of your own views and the breadth of
your knowledge. If you have been careful read
er, you may not have So very much to regret.

soon returned with a box which she
handed to the minstrel.
