French Army of Occupation Gets
Along Without Friction Although

Strict.

There is no friction between the Ger
mans and the French in the occu-
pied enemy territory. This is the
largest city the French army occu-
pies. and with the exception of
hard look or two, the Germans show
mo resentment here.
The French are strict, but they do
not rub in the fact that they are
conouerors. Swanking with them is
unknown, while the more respect the
Germans show for the law the fewer
are the restrictions.
at is like this" explained Major
Deville, commandant at Kaiserslau-
tern. 1--WE early came to the conclu-
sion that If we posted notice con-
tanning prohibitions implicit obed1-
ence to the edict must be demanded.
The Germans have been ruled by the
iron hand so long that they regard
as an exhibition Of weakness any
permission to sidestep rule. Then,
too. it was necessary to be strict, not
only to protect the people and the
army, but to convince the Germans
that they are not allowing us to stay
here merely on sufferance because
they had decided not to wage war any
longer. Gas some of them believe)
but that they really are a conquered
people. If we are not strict and
severe they regard us as soft Our
only thought, however, is to rule
Justly, and if inhabitants behave
themselves their privileges are ex-
tended"
The major then gave some illustra-
tons.

occupation all telephoning was pro-
ihibited, except for certain admins

reason being that the phone was a
convenient way to communicate in

been modified to authorize use of the
telephone within limits of certain
cities.

ARE TAUGHT TO
LOVE AMERICA
French Tots Write Compositions on
Reception Given President
Wilson When He Came
to Paris.
rBy United Press.J

PARIS, Feb. 18.-(By mail.)-
What were the reasons for the en-
thusiastic reception Of President
Wilson at Parish"
This was the subject of compost
tions in practically every school in
France after the American presi-
dents arrival here. Here is a typi-
cal development of the theme, writ
ten by little Charlotte Girod, aged 10,
of pInstitute Hammond IN the
shadow of the Sorbonne:
paris prepared the enthusiastic
celebration of President Wilson's
arrival because he came to our aid.
and caused to be raised an Srmy of
$1,000 900 men who saved France and
the world. The Americans are brave
soldiers who let nothing discourage
them. Parisians proved their graft
tude for what America had done by
receiving President Wilson with &C
claim"
Here is what Phyllis Jacoueline.
'aged s. wrote:
Paris feted President Wilson be-
cause he came to t5e aid of France
at the moment the Germans were
attacking the hardest. And mavbe
the Germans didn't feel themselves
ill at ease then, But the Americans
and the French did not occupy their
time thinking about that Not at all!
And the wicked Germans died-and
died-and died,
"And that's why little French chill
Idren love President Wilson lots and
lots-and America-and her armies. /"
Thus are the French teaching

Many owners of STAMPS are pre-
senting them for payment, seem
ingly on the assumption that the gov
eminent no longer needs the money
received for them.
While it is true the war Is prac-
tically at an end, 1t Is equally true
that a large part of the expenditures
of the war must still be met by the
sale of war savings stamps and Lib
erty loan bonds.
The sudden termination of the wal
left the government involved In ex-
penses that might in part have been
avoided If it had been known when
the war was to end. but of course 1t
was not possible to anticipate the
event.
Who Needs tho Money.
The financial obligations of the
war must therefore continue for
many months, and the national treas
ury needs the money received from
the sale of war savings stamps to aid
in meeting them.
The expenses of demobilizing the
army and navy, the return of our
boys from France, the care of oul
sick and wounded soldiers, and other
Liabilities incident to the war, al
call for q continuance OF the same
patriotic effort that the owners OF

Nevertheless, the original owners

quires it.

people understand the needs OF our
government they will defer asking

While the Keokuk schools have
grown in the last quarter. century
from requiring fifty-seven teachers TO
the necessity for eighty-six teachers,
salaries have not grown i'll ratio to
the higher cost Of living, it is
claimed.
twenty-five years ago, Keokuk
teachers had no fears of any income
tax laws, for they got only $502.S9 q
year on the average.
That was for the year of 1S94-95,
and five years later the average
salary of tho sixty-eight teachers
here was $455,6S, but this average
was affected somewhat by the em-
ployment of one teacher in each
room as an apprentice at $95 per
year.
The present century started with
the Keokuk school teachers working
for an average of S455 per year.
which was less than any city en-
ploye. or any county employee. Any
day laborer making $3.50 day had
them bested in annual receipts.
Some Increase In Time.
For the year of 1904-05, the Keo-
lkuk teachers averaged S656 year
each, having obtained couple OF
raises, in the preceding five years.
Ten years ago, during the year OF
19O9-16, the average salary Of a Keo-
kuk school teacher was 1927, and
there were sixty-ive of them.
In more modern times, the year Of
1914-15, the first year of the world
war, the average wage Of q Keoltuk
teacher jumped to S746 per year. and
how the seventyssix teachers got
along on that Is not Of record. It
looked like big raise at that, al
though their salaries were still much
lower than those of policemen, bridge
watchmen, and other municipal en-
Iployes, none of which were ever ac-
cused of being overpaid-
And the High Cost Of Living.
Last year, the average salary Of
the Keokuk teachers was SS06, and
there were eighty-six of them.
Last year the cost of living was
rather high.
Many Of the teachers are the sole
support of some other member Of
their families.
They have the mental training Of
the children Of the people Of Keokuk
and are held to high standard Of
efficiency In their profession. The
record is full of facts that prove
that.
Rather Hard to Save.
And they are paid a good deal less
than a policeman.
What all this leads to, is that the
Legislature ought to pass the teach
ers' welfare bill now before 1t, giving
Iowa teachers some chance to keep
