BREAK THE HEART OF THE
WORLD

Kansas City, Mo-, Post
That is what Wilson said we should
do if we fail to ratify the peace trea-
ty and inaugurate the League of
Nations.
1t was a great state paper, his mes
sage to the Senate. 1t will live long
in his history of America. Passages
in it will be declaimed by school boys
and young orators side by side with
Webster's seventh of March speech
and Lincoln's wonderful little ad-
dress at Gettysburg; for it was more
than a state paper; it was an appeal
to all that is finest and highest in
American aspiration as we'll as a rea-
soned and careful explanation OF the
great change that is coming over the
sentiment Of the world and CT Amer
iya's part il fostering that change.
To De sure, there are those who

spared from such an ordeal again.
They know the fierceness of the
death-dealing instruments devised by
man; they know that another world
conflagration, carried on with the
knowledge gained in this, would all
but wipe cut humanity.
We all know that before this war
we were told that great armaments
worked for peace, and we know now
that that was not true; that they
meant death to mankind.
We have learned that peace can be
maintained throughout the world on
ly through an intelligent understand
ing among the nations.
And the voices of those who have
gone and those who remain cry out
for such an understanding.
That understanding, written into
the League of Nations, is being ac-
cepted in Europe.
Our Constitution gives the United
States Senators the power to accept
or reject the understanding accepted
by other nations and before this gov
ernment for action.
Each Senator has right to use his
own judgment, to come to his own
conclusion, in the matter, but he has
no right to push aside Humanity's S
cry, and to base that judgment, to
come to that conclusion, on the lines
of party expediency.
There was no partisanship in the
fight on the French front; there was
no partisanship in the buying of Lib
erty bonds of giving to patriotic
funds; there should be no partisan
ship in the contest in the United
States Senate; but, unfortunately,
there is.

SEN. DIAL TRIES TO
RENT WHITE HOUSE
Phone. "1163 Main," and Endeavors
to Lease Wilson's Home,
Through Mistake.

Washington, Sept. 2.-While any
number of Senators and Representa-
tives to say nothing of many more or
less distinguished men who cannot be
classified, would not mind occupying
the White House for minimum per-
iod of four years, Senator Dial of
South Carolina is the only known
statesman who has tried to rent the
place. 1t is fair to say that he did not
know what he was doing at the time,
but the effect was the same.
Il seems that the Senator, along
: with everybody else in the United
States who must pay rent, was re-
Gently Informed that there would be
considerable increase in the amount
which he would have to pay for his
present residence during the coming
year and he did not like it. He
promptly resolved to seek another
home and began looking up real es-
tate agents.
Casually glancing through his. ad-
dress book he inadvertently gained
the idea that the house listed at '1163
Main was for rent and he immedi-
ately established telephone connec-
ton with the same.
After pronouncing his name and
official standing to the polite voice at
the other end of the wire the Senator
added:
"I understand your place is for
rent for the coming year and l
have called you up to learn about the
terms
He thought it strange that in
stead of voice there came a gurgle
over the wire, followed by gasp
and some more unintelligible noises.
"Why no, Senator" came the re-
ply at last: s'this place is not for rent
at least at present"
ssDoes the present tenant intend
to move out soon?" was the next IN
quiry which was followed by more
strange noises.
ssNot for more than year, at
least" came the answer at last seem
ingly with great difficulty: "a year
from March a next, anyway"
''M'm," commented the lawmaker,
che must be an office holder. By the
way who is occupying that place
now?"
president Wilson," was the final
reply. ''This is the White House,
Senator"
Senator Dial is using a new ad-
dress book now.

FOR WHAT DID THEY FIGHT
AND PAY?

Dearborn Independent.
In the battle of St. Mihiel, $780,
600 American soldiers fought, and
many of them died. Kindly in CIV
ilian life, they proved themselves
fierce fighters when after the foe.
An idea of the size of the strug-
gle can be obtained by comparing
it with the battle Of Gettysburg, in
which 100000 Northern soldiers
fought.
The Meuse-Argonne struggle last
ed At days, and 100000 American
soldiers risked their lives, many of
them making the supreme sacrifice.
America had 2,O86,000 soldiers in
France, of whom 100000 saw bat
tie service, more than $4,000 dying
in battle, total of 122,500 overseas
having died.
There were 100000 American sol
diers and sailors wounded on the
western front.
No tribute is so great as to do JUS
tice to the gallantry shown by the
boys who tur. the tide of battle
and helped our eeding Allies to a
victory, the French soldiers who died
in the struggle having numbered l.
$4,000 and the British 100000.
The war cost American much more
very much more, than $1,000,000 an
hour for two years.
The people have paid and are pay
ing taxes on nearly everything, if not
! directly, then indirectly, on what they
wear and eat and in rent.
The nations net debt as a result of
the war is about 22,ooO,0O0,00O, or
,, about $1,000 for every family, which
finally must be paid by the toll of
the family, for no matter who pays
it directly, in the end it comes to the
consumer; and with interest added
it will amount to more than $4,000,
nearer $4,000, by the time it is paid.
What was the object of all this
sacrifice Of life and treasure?
What do we owe to the men who
went over and risked their all?
What do we owe to the dead on
the fields of France?
What do we owe those who came
back manned for life?
What do we owe to those who gave
generously Of wealth and time?
! What do we owe humanity?
! Do we owe them an assured peace
for the future, or do we owe them
endless bickering?|
Those who sacrificed over there
cry out that such q sacrifice shall
never be forced Ga humanity again
Those who suffered II the trenches

though one rose from. the dead.
But, thank God, it is not necessary
to convince then.I The great Ameri'
can people is already convinced, and
their representatives can only bow to
the will of the people.
Frankly the president set forth the
obstacles in the way of making peace
IS The Post has said over and over
again, the American delegation had
to deal with almost insuperable diff
culties; had to conciliate and compro-
mise; had to give and take. This the
president honestly and openly set
forth and began the work Of con-
ciliation here even as he had caTied
it on over there.
Plainly he showed himself not un-
willing to placate the enemies Of the
league, and, with a reasonableness
that could not be surpassed, to show
them all that was in his heart and
mind, as well as all that was in the
difficult situation in Paris.
Furthermore, at The Post has re,
peatedly pointed out, he showed how
necessary is the league covenant to
the treaty of peace itself; how inter.
woven and intertwined they are.
For a time the enemies of the
league insisted upon the separation
of the treaty from the covenant. We
tried to show them how utterly I'M
possible such dissection would be-
and the president yesterday demon
strated that we were right.
Now we venture the prediction
and are perfectly willing to stake ou1
reputation upon it, that the treaty
and the covenant will be ratified to,
gether and that the fight which has
been shifted to Article x will triunl-
phantly be decided in favor of the
American people and their mastery
statesman, Woodrow Wilson.
Otherwise, the war will have been
fought in vain, and those $4,000 OF
our boys who lie buried in France will
have died in vain-unless out of this
bitter conflict somehow there shall
arise at least worldwide attempt
at basis of universal peace.
We shall then simply have got
mixed up in European commercial
quarrel and have brought victory to
one side, but have done no lasting
good in the world.
One can almost hear the ghostly
voices of those $4,000 of our boys
addressing US:
"To you, from failing hands, we
throw
The torch; be yours to bear it high.
If ye break faith VIII Us who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples
blow
In Flandefa field"

irreverently called "the old man." and
generally after our morning meal we
met both our shepherds at the home
stead and went over the situation,
which on account of the partial loss
of the root crop was more or less COM
plicated. This lesson we got, that the
above crop was not a necessity; we
could get along without it if abso-
lutely necessary.
And so those shepherds have a deep
niche in my memory. Whether you
met them on the hillside or at the

The ideal shepherd, as said above,
must be earnest and honest. He does
not necessarily have to be a very hard
worker, but he must be observant,
watchful, more especially at lambing
time, serving long hours at that crit
zeal time. Much depends upon his
management previous to maternity.
The eve flock must be improving in
condition as they approach that try
ing hour when the owner gets-his in

anxious than the master, and in those
critical days he does not care to be
disturbed or his attention called away
