the three days you arc going to honor

And soon afterwards they went in to
dinner. and Mrs. Suntag was so charm

were not the scenes Of hard fighting. the
invaders deliberately wrecked manutac-

purpose of breaking down the industrial

the machinery could be transported to

THE GERMAN THREAT

: In opening the German parliament.
Premier Ebert warned the Allies that
they must not push Germany to an ex-
IRENE. Germany has failed to carry out
many Of the conditions Of the armisticc.
The ships which she was to surrender TO
tho various Allied powers still remain
In her harbors. The full quota OF loco
motives and railroad cars have not been
delivered. The number OF guns. aero
planes. automobiles. and other material
of war which were stipulated in the
arrnisticc agreement is also lacking. On
February 18th. Marshal Foch will pro-
ceed to Trcres for the purpose Of estab-
fishing new armisticc conditions in view
Of the failure Of Germany to comply
completely to the conditions agreed upon.
These conditions will probably be harder
than the first.
There il no disposition on the part
OF the Allies to tighten the severity Of
the original terms. On the contrary pop
ular sentiment seems generally to favor
more rigorous conditions than were
originally planned. The unrepcnsant al
titude of tho German people has not won
favor abroad. Germany is planning for
rehabilitation Of her industry. and re-
sumption of her commerce. and she is
loud in her complaint against, the terms
which make i, difficult for her again to
resume the prosperous conditions that
prevailed before tho war. but no word
of contrition for her conduct: no eN-
nression Of sorrow for the suffertnss
she has caused. and no orer of compsn-
sation for the ravagcs she has wrought.

man of the German people. Premier
F:bert.s thinly yelled threat will not Sc
sure any tightening Of the terms. Ger
many surrendered because she was beat
en-. and she will not take up arms again.

WATER TRANSPORTATION

r., The railroad administration has or
dered number Of self propelled oarges,
and freight carriers for use on the
Black Warriors river between Birmins-
ham and New Orleans On this import
amt waterway. the railroad admintstra-
ton fnds the use Of the water line sup
Elementary to. the railroad to be ad-
Lyantageous. 1t has been the opinion OF
astudents Of transportation that the best
results would be obtained by the CO.
ordination Of water and rail lines. They
would use water carriage for the heavier
and bulkiSr freight. and railroad trans
portation for the smaller and lighter ma
fterial. Undoubtedly. cooperation be-
tween rail aud water lines would be con-
;ducivc to the development Of water
transportation, and at the same time. in
all probability. it will increase the
profits Of the rail lines.
There is Il distinct field of service for
: both carriers. The success of the Lib
erty Transit company. which has been
operating on the upper Ohio River for
the past several months. has clearly
shown the need for the development Of
water traffic in this particular section.
and the indications arc. that as facilities
are improved. and the wharfs along the
river arc made better. the increase in
business will be rapid. However. this is
only small beginning. Tho Ohio River
will not BIC doing its duty as water
carrier until il becomes great carrier
of bulky freight. Barge lines from Pitts
burgh to Cairo, II not from Pittsburgh
to New Orleans. will sooner or later be

FATHER AND SON

By proclamation OF the President VIC
arc celebrating this week as Father and
Son week and By its national observance
We are presumed TO realize the universal
Significance of the wonderful comradship
Of father and son.
The son. looks UP to his father. ideal
ICES him. makes him his hero. sees In
him all that he wants TO be. The father
looks TO his son. sees his own mistakes
and guards against his sons falling into
them. is thrilled by the spirit and power
Of youth and idcalizes what his boy may
become. The two bonded together into
cornradship. living in each other, is
most sacred relationship and one to be
fostcred as the basis Of healthy Chris
,Lan citizenship.
Sad to relate. but nevertheless true.
the relationship Of father and son is.
in very many cases. drifting too far
apart. That this statement is based on
fact is best evidenced by the Presidential
proclamation, which gives It official
recognition. There is nothing more fatal
to GOOD citizenship and the welfare OF
the community than the best companion
ship OF father and son. This week Is
set aside to restore tina, companionship,
and it is up to each individual-bc it
father or son--to aid in making this un-
dertaknG success.

FREE TRADE BLADE

We find in the columns of a Demo
cratic contemporary the story OF q small
boy whose sister gave him n pocket knife
as a Christmas gift. A few days later.
while examining the knife closely. the
boy discovered on the blade the words,
Made In Germany" whcreupon he threw
the knife as far as he could and never
touched it again. Tho Democratic edi-
tor publishes the story as an illustration
Of commcndablc patriotism. And yet
that same editor, in 1918. consistently
supported the Democratic administration
in the enactment Of tariff law which
ENCOURAGED the increased development Of
the German pocket-knife industry by
increasing. the opportunities for sales OF
German knives in America. II It was
patriotic of the boy to throw the knife
away, what shall We say Of the course OF
rull-grown and presumably intelligent
men who deliberately aided in enacting

The bill specifies that the state treas

If the allowance of the commissioners
Is the same as the amount Of the cmer-
Sency allowance made by the employer

such allowance shall be placed in such
