THE NEW RATTLE

Des Moines Capital: The armistice
was scarcely signed. the six million
American and allied dead were still
warm III their graves wien the unity O.
the American people was dissolved.
The great body that had worked, con-
trihuted, and sacrificed as one. became
Il huge mass of individuals, distruStful,
selfish, eXtrayagant, suspicious. whin-
ing and avaricious. The splendid spirit
that had characterized the var vanish
cd and left in its wake something hide
Gus, something un-.Amcrican, something
un-C Christian and iHhumall. Wise men
of the country sem out their pleas for
economy and hard work in vain. Like
a people intoxicated we have gone our
carefree way the past two years, each
one expecting the other fellow to do
the saving and working that must
bring with it the salvation of the coun-
try. We have imagined some alb
%strict. bodilcss thing at Washington
could lcgislatc us into prc-war condi-
tons; we who have worked have
blamed our employers, and we who
have employed have blamed our work
men. Everyone has been eager to hang
the blame on someone else. While the
guilt has been common to all.
The new battle we need to pledge
ourselves TO fight is not one of blood
shed, but it is one of sclf-dcnial. Hard
work and Il free recognition of II
ncighbOr's right to live and our respon-
sibility in assisting him TO live are the
weapons most needed to make the fight.
We arc proud Of our record during
the terrible days of the war. We
shrink from the memory of our conduct
since that time. Let us put ourselves
in Il position to answer the questions
of our own cOnsciences. Let us catch
the torch thrown to us from the dead
hands in France and make this Il cOuI-
try worth dying for.

Mr., Lodw George declared the Polish
attack was not justified, In the opinion
Of the British government. and that
the soviet government In any condi-

account the facts of the attacks made
by the Poles upon Russia and that
those attacks were delivered despite the
warnings of the allies TO Poland.
The soviet, he declared, was entitled
TO demand such guarantees as would
De exacted by any power against a
repetition OF attacks of that kind. What
was challenged, he said was that moth

punishment which goes to the extent

The premier declared that the sole
purpose of the allied policy was to Sc
cure peace on n basis OF independence

PREMIERS DECIDE NOT
TO SEND POLAND TROOPS

PARIS, Aug. 1O.--The military de.
eisions reached at the Hythe conference
between Premiers Lloyd George and
Millerand and their advisers were az
follows. according to the French for
First that It was lmpractlcable and
unnecessary to send allied troops %
Poland, and,
Second, the integrity Of Poland's
western frontier was guaranteed CThis
palpably means that any effort by Ger
many to use the present crisis In an
attempt to regain any Of the territory
ceded to Poland under the treaty OF
versailles would be decisively negatived
by the allies),
Third, that the allies would continue
sending munitions and skilled Off
GERS to Poland.
Blockade measures would possibly he
taken later, 1t was said, but French
opinion questioned the effectiveness OF
such action.

inaugurated, that neighborlng neutral

Another measure considered, the dis
patch says, consists OF forming a de-
fensive front against Russia by appeal

Edgar Raps City's
Streets; VIII Haze
To Change Tires

A change from the use OF solid tires
10 pneumatic or Sewel type tires will
be made in the near future by the Mem
phis fire department because OF the
fact that, the condition Of the streets
OF Memphis Is running the newly ac-
CURED motor tirefighting apparatus.
John B. Edgar, commissioner OF fire and
police declared Tuesday that as soon
as tie repair shop OF the fire depart
ment is thoroughly reorganized and
ready for operation that the change will
be made gradually
1T Is a crime" Mr.. Edgar said Tues
day, ito operate the expensive fire
fighting machines which Memphis has
over our streets. OF course, the ma
chimes will deterlorate over any streets
but they are beginning to show signs
OF wear entirely too soon after pur-
chase and we have determined to aboi-
ish the solid tires now in use and to
replace them with either pneumatic
cord tires or with Sewel type wheels.
THE repair shop Of the fire depart
ment will be thoroughly reorganized
and we have already engaged a former
employe Of the Empire Motor Car COM
pany as foreman. 4 concrete floor will
be put In and all machines reset and we
viii bring the shop up to date In every
respect ,, +, ..,-.
with manufacturers of pneumatic cord
tires and also with manufacturers of
Sewel type wheels and as soon as the
shop is ready we will begin changing
the tires and wheels. These heavy
trucks, bumpers and ladder wagons
cannot be safely operated over the
streets In the present condition with
he solid tires and we have reached the
conclusion that the best solution Is TO
change the apparatus.
The Sewel type wheels" Mr. Edgar
continued. are wheels that have rub
ber cushion between an inner and outer
rim and this absorbs the shock when
the truck hits ruts and holes In the
