France Fights for Existence.

of the unrest in Europe upon

was the Presidents strongest
weapon, would have been denied

So much for one side of the
shield. On the first side it may
appear to the American reader
that the European viewpoint is
sordid. 1t is not. There is the
other side. Take France, for in
stance. Her nationalism is the
inevitable result Of her geo

protect herself from Germany.
First, German armies must be

allowed to bring guns or armed
men across the Rhine. Second,

iron, more coal, more factories,

she will welcome. That league

fortifications across the Rhine,

SLAUGHTER WINS
POOL TOURNAMENT

Frank Slaughter won the pocket
billiard tournament At the Haskings
Fool PArlor yesterday afternoon when
he defeated Charlie Strain by the
score OF 100 to 10. The game was the
last OF q series between Asher,
strain, and Slaughter and was neces-
sAry for the reason that these men
were tied for FIRST place when the
tournament closed last week.
Yesterdays victory enabled slangh-
ter to emerge from the post tourna-
ment with clean slate, In view Of
the fact that he defeated Asher prior
to administering q drubhing to Strain.
Asher had one victory and one de-
feat. while Strain failed to win a
game
The final match between Strain and
slaughter was without spectacular
playing and neither man had a cred
table run as result of his efforts
Slaughter walioped Strain 100 10 10
but the worries failed to run together
1t is probable that the winner of

such an event have been made yet.
