FOR WHAT DID THEY FIGHT
AND PAY,

In the battle of st. Mihiel. $50 900
American soldiers fought, and many
of them died. Kindly in civilian life,
they proved themselves fierce
fighters, when after the zoe

with the battle Of Gettysburg. in
which 100000 Northern soldiers
fought
! The Meuse-Argonne struggle last
ed Al days, and ,200,0 900 American
! soldiers risked their lives many of
them making the supreme sacrifice.
American had 2,0S6,000 soldiers
in France, of whom $4,000 saw
battle service, more than $4,000
dying in battle, a total of 1872, 500
overseas having died.
There were $4,000 American sol
diers and sailors wounded on the
western front.
tice to the gallantry shown by the
| boys who turned the tide of battle
and helped our bleeding Allies to a
victory, the French soldiers who died
in the struggle having numbered
1,3S5,0OO and the British 100000.
The war cost America much more,
very much more than S1,OOO,OO0 an
hour fer two years.
The people have. paid and are pay

not directly. then indirectly on what
they wear and eat and in rent.

SOLDIER AND SOLDIER.

Men who would rip the covenant
of the League of Nations wide open,
and incidentally wreck the treaty OF
peace, are exceedingly boastfui @,
their Americanism and their patriot
ism.
United States who have seen service
in France and Belgium are in most
cases unable to comprehend Ameri-
canism of this description, which ex-
plains the adoption by veterans at
Birmingham, Ala, Of a resolution
advising everybody to keep away
from a meeting to be addressed by
Senator Reed of Missouri in 'op-
position to the treaty. Like Mr..
Johnson of California, Mr.. Reed
patriotism is so pronounced that he
would have the war which was to
end war terminate in international
chaos
Theh irreconcilables Of the Senate
are deceiving seem timid partisans
on this issue, but the men who have
worn khaki are not to be foled. They
know what they fought for and
what they won, and they are going
to have it.-New York World
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1919-09-18

1T is being borne in upon the pub
lie mind that there is something
rather mean and cowardly in the OPP
position that has developed toward
of Americanism and in the same
breath say that America can enter
into no compact in which she is not
sure to be overmatched and at a
disadvantage. They can see nothing
ahead for America but embarrass-
ment, confusion and failure. That
America can play it's part in the
world with success, with firmness
and a clear conscience is something
they do not appear to comprehend.
They tell how this country is to fall
a prey to designing and conniving
enemies, as though we alone of all
the world were honest, and as
though we were without stamina
and could never stand on oru own
feet.-Jersey City, N. j., Journal.

Waterloo Courier: Carnegie's

received.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Somehow the profiteer hates public

Davenport Times: If the present
drive against profiteering does not
bring prices down, then what Will:
Charles City Press: Nobody else
in the country gets a vacation from
considering the H. c. OF L.-why
should congress!
Washington Democrat: It's partly
our own prOfligacy, our lnattentlon
to details, our recklessness that
brings on hardships.
Traer Star-Clipper: Ten years
any good, sensible citizen Of Iowa
opposed paving the roads.
Dubuque Herald:
Charley Rawson is back in Iowa at
tempting to remove some OF the re-
publican administration black
spots Some job.
Humboldt Republican: Why ask
the papers to work for the govern
ment for nothing when every half
horse clerk working for the govern
ment draws pay.
Sioux City Tribune: There's a
wide and deep rumor that Gen.
Leonard Wood is convinced that the
people will not elect military man
next year for president.
Carroll Times: No, brother re-
bublcans, there is mighty little poll

sue. Try something that looks to
the future rather than past.

The League of Nations is not a

its merits, and on its merits alone.
Those who are influenced in their
judgment of it by other than the
most unselfish motives will never be
