contemporary,

Our critical contemporary,
with evident sarcasm, beguiles us
into near-egotism with the state
ment that we are "erudite and
philosophic." He reminds us that
there are places where angels
fear to tread" and intimates that
we are treading these fearsome
pathways. Apropos of the ancient
statement that fools rush in where
angels fear to tread" we would
infer that we belong to the latter
class. SO according the opinion of
the Hartford Republican, which
luckily is not infallible. We very
easily understand this outburst Of
irony. The editor of the Republic
can is about as ticklish on the pro-
hibition question as the nerve of
sore tooth is ticklish, and we cas-
ually referred to the coming of
very, very hard on our neighbor
editor to see liquor tread the last
long path, but we can't afford to
keep 1t here for his sake alone.
Like all obsolete system and GUS
toms rum has had its day and civil
lization demands it's destruction.
And despite all the bowling and
protestations of the besotten advo-
Gates of the system, it is going and
must go. 1t is not many moons
since the Republican straddled the
COurierJOurnal in double-col-
umn spread-eagle editorial be-
cause the former advocated wom-
an suffrage. And now it arises to
champion the editor emeritus in
his opposition to prohibition. We
dc not know what the editorial
policy of the Republican is in re-
gard to prohibition; when a Re-
publican candidate is a prohibition
list, it is prohibition; otherwise il
seems to be on the fence viva a
little leaning to the wet side. But
even though it is as wet as a rat
that has swan the Ohio river it
cu'not stop prohibition. Aud n.uch
as we sympathize with you, broth
er, the awful drouth you are facing,
we cannot afford to hold back pro-
hibition for your benefit!

Just the same. On the fifteenth
day she decided to take the risk.
It might mean death, but, death
was certain to come IL she stayed
one day longer. SO, summoning
all her courage and picking her
way carefully, she started and was
half way out when she heard a
"click" and two steel jaws closed
on her leg just above her foit.
The pain was severe. But she
didn't have to suffer long for Jack

one blow from the club they car

A new disease, something lika
the African sleeping fever" has
made its appearance in America and
is spreading rapidly. 1t is said the
victim experiences a drowsy sensa-
ton and if he allows himself to go
to sleep, will likely never wake.
Medical authorities think they can
halt the progress of the malady be-
fore it gains the momentum of the
influenza, and not being so easily
contracted or so virulent in form,
it will probably be arrested before
it makes its appearance among us.
At least we are hoping so.

The readjustment following the
close of the war and the transition
from wartime to peace-time condi-
tions is rapidly taking place. The
greatest questions seem TO be those
of unemployment and high prices.
The farms call for more men to
produce the next crop and ian to
find them, and the cities are over
crowded with men seeking jobs.
The government Is advertising for
men to help complete the canton

The League of Nations, so wide
ly discussed, criticised and COM
mended, is fast ceasing to be a
political issue, as at first it appear
ed to be, and becoming, like pro-
hibition, a national issue. Meth
er party could well incorporate in
its platform plank either in fay
or of or condemning the League,
as 1t has as strong adherents
among Republicans as it has
among Democrats and as strong
opponents among some Democrats
as among Republicans. Neither
party could make it an issue and
as IL will likely be settled before
the next election there is little
probability of its getting into poll
tics.

Many of our reader friends have
sent us soldiers letters accompani-
ed by a picture of the soldier and
with request that we. publish the
letter and the picture. We are
very sorry that we cannot publish
these pictures as we have no en-
craving machinery to make the
cuts, but if our readers care to
have cuts made We will gladly
look after the making of them and
publish all the letters. However
we cannot go to the expense of
making the cuts as we receive a
great many Of the pictures. Bear
this in mind when sending them.

The japanese and American
marines have FLASHED at the con-
cession of Tsen Sim. Though
this may seem a small affair, and
we trust il will soon be settled,
nevertheless there are strong posi-
bilities that it may lead to some
thing more serious. There is a
natural animosity existing between
the Americans and the Japanese,
augmented by the California Land
disputes, which must be settled in
some way. And unless the League
of Nations, or some other interna-
tional tribunal takes the matter up,
there will some day be a clash of
arms, war of races that will make
the European trouble pale into in
With the West pitted

CINE the terrible destruction and
loss of life that would insue. May

From all indications this will
likely be "wet spring" as the old
folks would say, and if so, the
work of the farmers in preparing
ground for next seasons crops will
be somewhat delayed. Rainy

had executed his chances of get

Spring time is near at hand. AT

BnussELS April 26.-The process of
attracting from Germany the machinery
she has stolen is an arduous one. An
engineer who has just returned from q
quest In the neighborhood of Cologne
FOUND only four out Of the so machines
removed from his works between jan
uary s, 1915. and December Z, 1917. He
discovered incidentally that eight others
had been worked to death in Germany
and knows that four more are still in
Belgium. The whereabouts OF the re-
uaining 81 are unknown to him.
This observer reports that not only
are the German factories in full swing
but that they have been considerably
enlarged during the war and show abu-
dant signs Of prosperity, largely owing
20 the machinery stolen from Belgium
and France which has been sold to them
~ the German Government for almost
nothing.
But what is particularly exasperating
b that Germans have been keeping their
own machines for use after the war and
have been making munitions almost en-
t1rely with stolen machines, which, hav-
ing been working night and day with in
1srior oil which alone is available, they
are now mostly only fit for the scrap
heap
Not only does one see the German ma
chimes resting while similar Belgian and
French machines by their side are at
work, but stores and German machine
tool works are full of brand new ma
chino tools.
This state OF things. coupled with the
extreme difficulty in the presence OF
German mendacity Of tracing machines
or missing parts and with the enormous
amount OF red tape involved in claim
Ing machines. makes the Belgsns, whose
works are idle and whose workmen are
unemployed. more than ever resent their
not being allowed to take German SUBJ
stitutes in place of those worn out or de-
stroyed.
The engineer whom ! quoted above
suggests. first, the Germans should forth
with be forbidden to use stolen ma
chimes, and. secondly. they should them.
selves be obliged to produce all missing
parts, which are often hidden in obscure
etorehouses; thirdly, each works should

WStiy, TOT machines not 1ound WITHIN
three months and for machines unfit for
work or destroyed equivalent machines
should be handed over to the Belgian
Industries. these to be taken from Ger
man machine tool makers and indus
tries.
The sight OF stolen raw materials in
Germany. the one thing, after maChin-
cry. Belgium most sorely needs at pres
ent makes the Belgians almost as flu
rious as the sight of their machines IN
the hands OF the enemy.

FUNERAL GIVEN
1t. WILLIAMSON

That an elaborate military burial
was given Lieut.. Ryan M. Williamson
the American veterinarian who died
in France in April is the information
just received by his father, now of
Plains in letter written by the chap
lain who conducted the funeral. The
letter follows:
=. Headquarters, American Embar-
kation Center, Office of the Senior
Chaplain, A. P. o. 1852 A. E. F. May
16, 1919.
"Mr. Williamson, Plains, Ga, Dear
Mr.. Williamson: 1t is my painful duty
to inform you that your son Ryan
M. Williamson died at 6:25 p. m.
April 20, 1919, the cause being acute
appendicitis. Everything possible was
done for his welfare so that under no
circumstances could he have receiv-
ed better medical attention.
Chaplain A. G. Bagby officiated
at the funeral which was very i'm
pressive. His body was conveyed to
Grand Cimeterie, LIE Nuns, (Sarthe)
France, on a caisson drawn by two
horses. On the near horse a postillion
rode. On each side of the caisson
were American soldiers who acted as
pail bearers. At the rear was a con-
cord of American soldiers. The band
preceded and played very appropri-
ate music. The coffin was covered
with the Stars and Stripes and also
several large bouquets Of beautiful
flowers were given by the various
welfare organizations in the A. E..
F. When we arrived at the grave
there was an assemblage of people
not only our own soldiers but French
soldiers and civilians as well. After
the body had been lowered into the
grave a volley was fired and taps
and everyone present show
ed great respect in recognition not
only of his services in France but
also in our own country. He did not
die in vain.
~ know you have faith that in
Gods good time you will see him
again and that he will be waiting
to meet you when the end of day
is come. If / can render you any
further assistance please command
my services.

yours, Arthur G. Bagby, list Lieut..
