WCTOR'S PROPHECY

Victor Hugo, the ilustrious French poet, took great interest in the poi- tical life of France.
 The armistice conditions imposed up- on Germany by Marshal Foch, incIud- ing the occupation by the allies of the entire left shore, of the Rhine, and the four bridsehead cities; Treves. May. ence, Cologne and cobientz, recall the e2eech made by Victor Hugo on March 1, 1871, before the National Assem- bly,, a speech full of prophetic vision. He said in part:
 From now on there will be in Eu. rope two dangerous nations: the one because victorious, the other because vanquished.
 "Of these two nations one, the vic troious, Germany, will gain an em- pire accompanied by servitude, milii tary yoke, the bruishness of the bar rack: military discipline to the very soul a parliament tempered by inear. ceration of the speakers.
 "The nation, the victorious nation. will have an Emperor of military ma. nufacture, as we'll as by divine right, the Byzantine Caesar combined with The Gsrmanic Caesar. The sabre will i be her sceptre; free speech will be n1uzzled, free thought strangIed, con- science on it's knees. there will be no free tribune, 10 free press. There  will be darkness.

county to understand fully. Every
penny that is contributed goes directly
to those for which the money is being
asked" Mr.. Selvidge said, "and not one
penny of it is being used for the eX-

entire fund is handled by a committee

The committee is serving without pay,

When the money reaches overseas, the
