BELGIUM IN A NEW ROLE
(NeW York Globe )

The news that Belgium was making unWarranted demands upon Holland would shock one like hearing that the innocent, golden-haired child who used to play around next door had grown up and become a burglar But BcIgium's war record, if nothing else, entities her to a friendly hear ing in her present disput. Apparently she desires control of that neck of Holland which is thrust out like a sore thumb be- tween lower Belgium and the lower Rhine province of Germany. She cannot now fortify the border of this strip without seeming to threaten Holland, yet, as Car dinal Mcrcicr says, she Is not sure that d revived Germany, beginning a new war, will not invade by this route. Parts of the German army, retiring after the armiStrc. did in fact throw down their weapons and use Limburg as a short cut home.
 On the lower ScheIdt Belgium suffers from another strategic disadvantage, only here 1t is economic, not military. When the two countries were partitioncd in 1880 the boundaries drawn were all to Holland $ ad- vantage, despite the fact that a line of de- marcatiOn between the Flemish and the Hollandcrs is difficult to draw. One of the interesting German intrigucs during the war was an attempt to split off the Elem ings from the WalIoOns, or GaIhc portion of Belgium, and there has long been a party in Holland which would gladly welcome the Flemings in a Greater Netherlands So Belgium feels herself threatened from at least two directions, and her present state of nervous excitement can be understood Even the statement of NJ. DcSSain, secre- tary to Cardinal Mcrcier that "many Bcl- gians would Welcome' a war with Holland can be accounted for as a comment on after war hysteria.
 Such quarrels as these are particularly dangerous at this moment, just because the prevalent state of mind is abnormal. / league of nations could both adiudicate the question at issue and assure Belgium of protection against invasion. This is anOth- CT reason for getting the covenant ratified without delay.

A certain party while engaged in con- versation the other day remarked that he hoped the steamer would get in from the states before cold weather set in, so he could receive his winter clothing. When asked why he did not buy his clothes in town, he said: ''Do you think 1 am going to pay two prices for what I get here"' And yet this same man wants two prices for his wares; and gets it. The man who makes his living off town while refusing to spend his cash in it is a citizen who can well be spared. He is no good to the com munity and like a tick on sheep's back, is only cinging on for what he can get out of it. A town filled by such parasites can not hope to get anywhere.-V Valdez Miner.

Mr. Giraffe was very much plea sed
when he saw so many there; he ha
laid down SO that all the animals could
easily get on, and IN this way he had
seen and become acquainted with his
guests
Mr.. Owl sat up close to his head:
Mr.. Squirrel next, and then Mr.. Pos

neck OF Mr. Giraffe so that if any
thin~ happened he would not fall off.
The others sat on the lower part of
Mr.. Giraffe's neck and back and off
they started.
And, oh, what ride it was! For Mr.

The others bobbed up and down
and slid and slipped until they wished

the head of Mr.. Giraffe to pick some

before the guests could think what
had happened. off they all fell TO the
ground. for IL was just like a tobog-

Well how did you like it?" asked
Mr.. Giraffe. Shall we go back?"
Where IS the picnic?' they all
asked. and then they found out. thai

NOT POSSIBLE YET TO GET WAR
TROPHIES.

Some time ago County Clerk Pearce
Patton wrote letter to Provost Mar
shall General Crowder, at Washing
ton. setting forth the desire of the
peopIe of the city and county to Sc
cure two small cannon for adorn-
ment of the court house lawn, and
asking him to use his influence to-
ward their requirement.
In reply Clerk Patton received a
letter from General Crowder. in
which he regretted to state that at
present it would be impossible to Sc
cure the coveted war trophies, as the
raouest would necessarily have to
come before the officials of the War
Danartment in the regular channels
iof oft,cial business, and that, further
more. IL would have to be matter
for legislation. General Crowder
COMMUNICATED Clerk Patton on the ex-
lcellsnt administration of his duties
lin connection with the seiective
Idrafr service, and added that NJ
wouH do all he could to assist In Sc
touring the trophies for BOURBON
icounty.
