FRANCE STAYS WHERE SHE IS
The Difference Between Being 5000
Miles Away and in Europe.

To understand the French view
point we have only to read this
from an address to American sol
diers by General Gouraud:
Nov when peace is signed you
are going home across the sea. The
English are going home too. But
France stays where she is.
Marshal Foch has told you that
France is the barrier protecting
civilization, and so France and civili-
cation, must be protected.
you gentlemen have seen the
character of the Germans along the
Rhine. You know there is no de-
mocracy in their hearts. You know
that their fawning attitude is as
false as it can be. And so I say to
you, France wants no such people in
her republic. .
''W don't want to annex Germany
up + Rhine, but We do intend to
see 1t the German military ma
chin, stays behind the river. That is
what Marshal Foch meant, believe.
If we don't have that protection,
France must maintain always an
enormous army to guard civilization.
with our great loss of life in the
war that would be a terrible bur
den for France. We must have a
natural barrier or else it would be
madness to demobilize our army
Il hope that the Americans will
see it in the same way. hope that
the soft words of the Germans will
not convince the Americans that the
leopard has changed his spots So
far l am unconvinced that the Ger
mans of today are not the Germans
of yesterday, the foes of the ideals
of America, the ideals of France, the
ideals of civilization, the foes ~ all
that is desired in the hearts OF man
kind"

GETS $500 FOR FALSE ARREST
Ross Pardoe Alleged Illegal I'M
prisOnment and Shooting BY
Officers.

Webster City.-Ross Pardoe, of
Rolfe, has just been awarded $4,000
damages against H. C. Roger, town
marshal at Rolf in the Pocahontas
county district court. Pardoe brought
the action for alleged illegal arrest,
the sustaining of flesh wound from
a shot fired by the sheriff and false
Imprisonment.
Pardoe and his brother Clifford and
Fred Manke, the latter of whom lives
southwest of this city, were charged
with stealing wheat from the w. H.
Guthrie farm southwest Of this city
and trying to market it at Woodstock.
Officers here sent word to the mar
shall at Rolfe asking him to arrest
the Pardoe brothers, The latter had
no warrant and, fearing the men
would escape before he could get one
he sought to arrest them. He went tC
their home and placed them under
arrest. On an excuse to go in and get
their coats, the men escaped to the
rear. That night the marshal, think
ing they would return, laid for them
They returned and he demanded
their surrender. They again attempt
/ ed to escape and the marshal fired
hitting Ross Pardoe in the fieshy
part of the arm.
Pardoe was given judgment be
cause his forcible arrest was attempt
ed without a warrant showing cause
and the authority of the town mar
shall.

Just a Dog,

He was just a common dog. Moth
ing thoroughbred or pedigreed about
him. The kind of a dog one sees ev-
cry time one walks down one of our
streets. His master was out of
humor about something and the dog
was the only being within reach,
upon which he could give proper
vent to his anger. There was a vic
ious kick, whine of panied sur
prise, and the poor animal lodged
away. A boy was standing on, the
curb nearby, unnoticed by the dogs
master, and as the poor fellow pass
ed with head down and tail pulled
tightly between his legs, he stroked
the dogs head and uttered a word
of pity. Instantly the tail was ac-
tive, wagging from side to side and
into his eyes came an expression of
the deepest gratitude. That dog
was smiling. And he tried to talk
to that boy with his little yelps push
ed out by utter joy. He knew he had
found friend.
There was a shrill WHISTLE note
of command-and the dog looked to-
ward his master, the man who but
moment before bestowed the brutal
kick. But away he went, still sending
out the glad little banks. He rubbed
his nose against the leg Of his own
er and was ready and anxious to do
his bidding. Ready to lick the foot
that kicked him.
And as they disappeared down the
street we wondered-still we wonder
if, when the dog leaves this life
breathes his last-we wonder if it
will be all over for him. Does he live
his allotted time to serve and to ac-
cept the human kicks and then go
out for all eternity?
The unselfish animal with not a
thought but to please a master or a
mistress, surely must have a place
to go.
We always have been taught that
the beasts of the field, and the fowls
of the air, and the fish in the sea,
are placed here for the use and the
convenience of man. Perhaps this
is as it should be-but we wonder
just the same.
And when we see a man or a
woman, with thoughts only for self,
We cannot help thinking that the
Creator in His infinite wisdom has
prepared and keeps a place for the
faithful dog.

NATION WIDE CAMP PAICN IS
 IN FULL SWING
Episcopal Churches Every where Engaged in After War Effort to Fulfill
 Obligation to World

The Nation Wide Campaign of the Episcopal Church is now in full swing among the churches under Bishop Rowe, and the local campaign will be resumed when Dean Christian returns from the General Convention Meanwhile statements are being sent broadcast, declaring that the age challenges the church to assume its full obligation to the world, and that the church must accept the obligation laid upon it.
 A survey is being made in every diocese as to the needs and demands and the campaign will culminate in m every-member canvass during the first week of December, which will have for it's purpose:
 1. To deepen and quicken the spiritual life of the whole church.
 2. To place before the church such a program of it's work as will ade- quately present the needs of the present critical situation and call forth from the whole church re- sponse commensurate with those needs
 g. To accomplish in an effective and accurate way these ends, every general board, provincial, diocesan and parochial agency will submit full surveys of it's present condition needs. and contemplated plans to meet the new situation following the war
 Some of the results, it is hoped. will be:
 A well-defined effort to recruit the church's ministry and trained men and women for special service in the church.
 Missions-domestic and foreign. with special reference to the needs in our own land; specialized work for the foreign-born, the Indian and negro races in America.
 The furtherance and strengthening of the work in the territories under

the fiag-Alaska, Porto Rico, Panama Canal Zone, Hawaiian and Philippine and Virgin Islands; to extend the work in Latin America; and the obligation as a Christian land to the non-C Christian countries of Africa China, and Japan.
 Religious education as applied tc parochial needs, especially in the Sunday school; an adequate and eff ficient church agency in university and college towns.
 The rural church and the commun- ities of industrial workers.
 The congested parts of the great cities, now neglected or uncared for
 Some solution of the social problem caused by the abolition of the saloon
 Wellequipped social service com missions, as witnesses of the need of the love of Christ in the settlement of industrial questions that involve the peace, happiness and prosperity of the state and society; and facing the responsibility for the care of de pendent people, prisoners, and out casts.
 In other words, laying solid founda- lions for larger things in the new age.
 The venerable presiding Bishop of the church, the Most Rev. Daniel Tut tie, thus sounds the slogan:
 Gather 10 the colors of the Ma tion-Wide Campaign. Summon the men. Call the women. Forget not the children. Discipline the recruits Furnish the munitions and supplies Speak to American churchmen that they go forward!"

GETS DEATH THREAT
Letter Signed "Sncwden' Goes to
Governor Harrington CT
Maryland

Baltimore, April 22.-Gov. Har-
r::ngton yesterday received a black
hand letter signed "Snowden," The
writer threatnes death t. the COVER
ror or to some member of his family
BIZ poison or otherwise prior to June
|. The letter was postmarked An
napolis. The handwriting was dis
guised.
When the governor signed Snow
dcn's death warrant over two months
ago his life was then threatened.
When Snowdcn was hanged threats
were made by Snowden's cclored
friends that they would burn the
city. A military company, armed
with machine guns, was dispatched
to Annapolis and remained on patrol
duty for day and night AZ that
time there was no hostile demonstra-
ton.
Since that time, however, there
have been three fires in Annapolis
az supposed to be of incendiary
origin. \ peculiar fact is that two
of three fires occurred on Friday
nights, anniversaries of Snowden's
hargiEg.
