"LAP-DoG PATRIOTISM

The colonel of regiment which
recently returned from France
pleads with the American public to
stop petting soldiers. His remarks
are worth quoting because Of their
virile common sense, and because
they have a pretty direct applica-
ton to every community in this
hero-worshipping land. especially in
the large cities.
Unless an immediate halt is
called on the lap-dog patriotism Of
certain type of perhaps well-inten-
TONED but woefully impractical and
short-sighted Americans" he says.
zone Of the greatest blessings of the
war viii be destroyed.
The patronizing. babying tactics
which are being employed by many
toward the returned soldiers are al
ready developing in some Of them a
tendency to forget the great lessons
they have learned"
The men are overwhelmed. he
says, with "siily remarks about their
sacrifices and how much the world
owes them" Sometimes they are
offered money or other things in SEN
timental attempt at recompense for
what they have gone through. This
sort Of treatment, the colonel fears,
may wreck the high ideals, the in
spiration. the ambition, the sturdy
endurance and impersonaI devotion
to duty which their war experience
developed.

CRUELTY" OF YANKS
TOLD BY THE GERMANS

CoblenE, June 4.---Some fantastic
fiction Is Published In German news
papers by writer's from Frankfort
and Lelpsic who have visited Cob
lenE and returned home to write
whatever they may please about the
American army Many OF the stories
they tell are new 10 the officers OF
the Third army who count them as
German propaganda.
One writer OF long article In
the Ieipsic paper dealing with life In
Coblenz relates alleged instances OF
ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American army
courts. In one case he says that the
wife OF government official, "an-
noyed on the street by a drunken
soldier exclaimed In her anger. III
only all the Americans would go TO
the deyil!'" The military court. he
says, punished here for this re-
ligious wish" by sentencing her to
appear every worning for 80 days at
the headquarters of the commando
OFFICER and repeating 20 those present
the phrase; Il am glad that you are
still here. gentlemen. and Il Is my
wish that you continue to stay here
for a long while"
This is all news to the American
Officers, II any woman appears at
headquarters every morning. tho
sentries on duty there have failed
to notice It. It is part OF their job
to prevent trespasing by Germans at
the main entrance OF the Third army
headquarters.
Another fictitious tale narrated by
the Leipsic writer to arouse German
dislike for Americans. deals with
case in which woman. splashed by
mud from an automobile calculated.

For this the Leipsic Munchausen
AYERS a military court sentenced her
to climb the fortress OF Ehrenbriet-
stein daily at 8 a. m. for 80 days
carrying pail. scrubblng brush and
securing rags and to clear six Amer
lean automobiles. Upon completion
OF this task. he asserted she was
required TO walk back home similar
ly equipped.
Another fantastic tale told by the
Leipsic journalist is OF a sentence
which he declares was imposed upon
hotel owner whose nerves could
no longer stand the wild music"
produced by the American bands and
who commented upon It unfavorably.
In punishment, the fiction writer
claimed, the hotel man was SEN
fenced to march daily for 80 days
alongside the band and after its pm
rade to tell its leader. "Slr, your
music pleases me TO perfection"

MERCHANTS FINISH
SERIES WITH HONOR

The Professionals and Mechanics
finished the Twilight League series
Tuesday evening. and it was some
slugging match, from start to finish.
The wielders of the big stick never
wayered, pounding the horsehide all
over Southern Oregon.
The base-stealers. too. had on
their running shoes. Collins. back
stop for the Mechanics, allowing six
stolen bases while Smith permitted
nine men to capture sacks.
The pitchers worked hard. For
the Professionals, Patterson struck
out and gave two men bases on
balls. Calvin, slab artist for the Me-
chanics, struck out 5, passed 6 men
to first, and made two wild pitches.
Hammerbacher made the only sacri-
flee hit. Five two-base hits were
rung up, Pernoll smashed the
pill for a three-bagger, while Smith
and Blevins both galloped around the
diamond making home runs.
1t was a five-inning game, but the
Professionals had a long lead and
did not play their half Of the fifth.

If the South would take hold 81

The South s great opportunity
is here. It should turn in and
utilize to the fullest its resources,
and broadly advertise, at home
and aboard, its opportunities.
First, it should wake up, clean
up and paint up. Old, dilapi-
dated, implanted buildings are
not q good advertisement; un-
clean, badly-paved streets are not
an asset, but a liability. Let the
South get to work. clean up and

The Great War has opened peo-

This copy too, IS good large

probably will be years before land
speculation will be eliminated, out
it must be ere poverty and the
fear of poverty is banished from

100000 A MONTH
on EDUCATION, A. E. F.

General Pershing has signed an Or
der establishing an American army uni
versity in France to accommodate
from 5000 to 10000 soldier students,
according to a recent cable message
received by the Y. NJ. G. A. War Work
Council. Col. Ira l.. Reeves has been
assigned to the post Of military
commander of the school, opened at
Beaune. General Pershing states in
his order that this university is to pro-
vide three months courses for soldiers
who cannot attend European univer-
sites. Courses in engineering, liberal
and fine arts, science, music and the
like will be offered.
1t is expected that one of the four
agricultural exhibits which have been
prepared by the department of agricul-
ture in cooperation with the Y. NJ. C.
A. will be permanent feature of
Beaune. These exhibits, all new ma
terial prepared at cost of 100000,
are nearly ready for shipment over
seas. Four agriculture department ex-
perts from Washington will accompany
the exhibits to France.
The cost of the entire educational
program for the soldiers Of the A.
e. F. has now reached 100000
month, the work having been made
possible by the generous oversubscrip-
ton Of the United War Work Cam
paign fund in November. Athletic, re-
ligious and entertainment activities
among overseas soldiers are also be-
ing carried on at full strength, these
being considered Of even greater i'm
p0rtance than during war times, now
that the men are not fighting and have
longer periods Of leisure.

THE WRITING OF PROGRESS
AND POVERTY.

Henry George was born in II c

at its heighth. Here in the midst
Of plenty, he found great want
and privation. Poverty as a rule

ing cap. provided he has one
Henry George had one! He was
gifted in intellect as few men have
been.
In California. he first perceived
that land speculation locked IN
vast storehouses of natures treas.
ures, and blocked the way of ad.
vancing civilization on every
hand. Every where he saw an ef-
fort to corner land, not for use
but mostly for a "rise,' because
the people saw the eyes Of the
whole Eastern world turned in
this direction. On account of this
cornering Of land, California,
whose very mountains were made
of gold, was soon filled with beg
gars and tramps. Those who had
cornered the land, called such
folks the l. w. WIS. Said they
didn't want work, were looking
for it in the hope they wouldn i
find it. As in the older countries
those who owned the land prac-
tically owned those who had to
dig their living out of the soil. j
has chattle slavery beaten to a
standsti1l. The North had dis
covered this when in the early
part of last century they shipped
their negroes to the South, saying
piously as they did so:
"The slave ships speed from coast
to coast
Famed by the wings of the Holy
Ghost!''
But-back to my story. Henry
George was a very hard worker,
and had no vices unless smoking
could be called one. In 1871,
during his leisure hours he wrote
a little book entitled "Our Land
and Land Policy" in which he
arraigned our present system of
land tenure, and showed that ma
ture had provided vast fund for
put!ic purposes which we blindly
turned over to those holding
paper titles to the land. A thou
sand copies of this little book
were printed, but the author
quickly perceived that really to
command attention, the work
would have to be done more thor
oughly. Progress and Poverty
was begun six years later, and
brought out in 1879. In the mean
time Henry George had visited the
great City Of New York, where he
was astounded to find the in
equitous distribution Of wealth
even more in evidence than in San
Francisco. Progress and Poverty
was finished after a year and
seven months Of intense labor, ana
the undergoing Of privations that

this work: ''And when the last

George flung himself upon his
