10 Il Over, Over There?

- u OVer, Ovef bnerog
One year ago today American
morale" was at low ebb. Many of
our wise men were predicting from
two to ave years Of hostilities.
Two years ago today the first
American troops had just landed in
France.
Today peace is signed and Ger
many's ''invincible army" of super
men" has been reduced to 100000
men and no come back"
Today the remains Of John Barley

may be taken out again by President
Wilson, after the army is declared
Gemobihzed, for parade purposes and

Five years ago the day the peace
treaty was signed, June %, the Aus
trian heir-apparent was assassinated
in Serbia. providing the excuse for
Germany which cost the lives of
seven million fighting men, and the
manning, Gripping, binding or 9TH
erwise disabling of 100000 more;
also the indirect suffering and death
OF other millions Of non -combatants
and the distress and grief of the en-
tire world. OF this tragedy America
mourns $4,000 sons buried in the soil
CT France.
And in spite of these things men
still fight for a continuation of the
military system, increasing pre-
paredness.' devotion Of the most
vital brain energies to new means of
destruction (if the excuse presents
itsel) on the hypocrisy that we can
not trust our fate to any interna-
tional agreemnt providing unison
against war and progressive reduc-
tion Of armaments.
World conditions are, in a meas
ure. better today than in the dark
days Of one year ago when allied
hopes were in it's bootlegs and going
Gown: but is the worst yet to come ?
The slaughter is ended. but the com
posite mind of civilization is in a
brainstorm. The psychology of the
hour is dissension and discord.
The lesson to Germany in the
humiliating treaty that she was
forced to sign at Versailles, may
demonstrate to the governments of
men that the power to govern does
not confer Gods privilege to pile
crime on crime for purposes of con-
quest, but at Vhat awful cost to hu-
n1anity!
The work Of the peace conference
is not ended. There's more work ia

main in the place of President Will
son. and Foreign Secretary Balfour
will replace Premier Lloyd George
President Wilson is on the way home
to report to Congress and then to
make stanping tour Of the coun.
try.
China did not sign the treaty, be-
cause not permitted to sign with
reservations or even to put its pro-
test in words. She is thus not a
member Of the League of Nations and
trade with her is hampered by the
self determination" that robs her of
one of her richest provinces to pay
Japan for what she didn't do.

COURT. BUSINESS
FUNNY SIDE
Recent Case at Williston
Over $35 Worth of Junk
Is Good as Vaudeville.

Williston, n. d., Dec. S.--Justice
was tempered with laughter in the
Fifth district court last Friday, when
Judge Leighton and a jury heard the
case Of H. Cadock against Sam
krivasha and Morris Perling, which
arose out of the sale of quantity
OF goods. The plaintiff alleged. it
is said. that a number Of articles in
volved in the transaction were not
delivered to him, and specified par
ticularly a pair of window curtains,
a rubber squeege window cleaner.
broom. coil of copper wire, and a
quantity Of gasoline, He demanded
that the missing junk be produced,
or that the court award him a GER
tain number Of sheckles in lieu
thereof.
$35 Involved.
Despite the fact the plaintiffs own
estimate Of the value of the missing
goods is said to have been but $36,
the case was contested with all the
bitterness usually attaching to a
suit for millions. The battle between
the opposing array Of legal talent
opened with special tilt involving
tiff, and George johnson, a prospec-
tive juror. Following the usual
questions asked by Metzger to as
certain Johnson's fitness to sit on the
jury. the attorney asked him: "Now,
George, will the fact that l can beat
you playing checkers. operate to bias
you against my client?" The ques-
ton took johnson by surprise, but
when he recovered he fairly screamed
"No, 1t won't. And what's more, I'm
not prepared to admit you can beat
me playing checkers" This brought
on a. heated argument about the rel
attve ability of the two men, both ex-
perts as checker players. SO that the
issues involved in the junk deal were
momentarily forgotten until the court
raped for order and informed the
spectators that they were not wit
Messing an opera bouffc.
Excitement Prevails.
After the Jury had been completed
the first witness called testified
about certain tank Of gasoline, de-
claring that it contained so gallons
of Joy riding juice when he saw it.
The next witness, testifying about
the same tank stated that it contain
ed but two gallons at that time.
This brought on a wordy battle re.
plete with references to certain OF
the writings of the late William
Shakespeare, attorneys on both sides
hurting at each others heads eH-
tracts from the classics. Excite
! ment ran high the while his honor
fndustriously pounded the bench
with a. gavel and threatened to Gus,
the spectators if they did not cease
| to assail the dignity of the tribunal
with loud laughter. When the mer-
rfment passed he solemnly Informed
/ Judge Spencer, who represented the
defendants, that the Merchant of

with reference to the gasoline, the
court would assume that the tank
had been careless]y left open and
that the missing 2st gallons had evap-
