The attitude of the government Of

by the allied governments.
Great interest is displayed in the
meeting of the British cabinet Thurs
day, and there is much speculation as
to Washington's official expression.
Banking, financial and business circles
are more outspoken. The opinion is
freely expressed that intervention was
nntimely and detrimental to French
interests.
Clever German Trap, Say.
At the stock exchange. Wednesday
the belief was expressed that the French
government fell into a trap cleverly laid
by the German government to separate
France from her allies. by asking for
individual French authorization to enter
the Ruhr district and putting it up to
France alone to refuse Germany per-
mission to take military measures.
The dollar Wednesday rose to the
highest point ever known-15.35-and
the pound sterling to CLIO. The Belgian
franc even rose to 100. On the other
hand, French francs decreased on all
markets, both allied and neutral, which
caused the brokers to say:
France is going it alone-apparently
the wrong way"

why the events in the Ruhr demand my
whole attention. You cannot consider
what is going on in the Ruhr and here
apart, there is close relation between
the events we are witnessing today.
The aggressions at Frankfort and events
in the Ruhr are attributable to the same
military reaction: Of that we have ab-
solute proof.
The Berlin government allowed the
reichswehr to invade the Ruhr district
unnecessarily because it was the desire
Of Kapp, Won Luettwitz and their like.
The coup d'etat having failed only
through the general strike, the military
party sought revenge Oh the working
classes and invented the bolshevist peril
in the Ruhr. 1t ought to be known in
France and elsewhere that there never
was any bolshevist peril in the Ruhr.
1t was simply case of population Of
workers, which hates Prussian militar-
ism, asking only to be allowed to work
in peace. That population was still at
work in Essen yesterday. What is hap
pening now is the result of the reichs-
wehr occupation"

earlier atrocities, notably the cold blood

Russian bolshevists, Radek and Levine,

fight to the bitter end. the result being
wholesale looting of villages, where the

ORDERS FROM BERLIN BLAMED.
Mayence, April 7.-(By The Associat-
ed Press.)-Disturbance broke out in
Frankfort Wednesday, but energetic in
tervention by the French troops restor-
ed order. From German sources it is
learned that six Germans were killed
and 35 wounded. It is reported that the
manifestations which gave rise to these
incidents were due to an order originat-
ing in Berlin.
'1The first day of the occupation of
Frankfort passed without incident, the
reception by the population was almost
cordial General DeGoutte. the French
commander, said on his return from a
tour of inspection. "Then suddenly, on
orders from Berlin, certain ferment
seized the population. This ferment de-
generated into aggression, and our SOL

use their arms. So far as I know, we
had no losses.

WHAT is WRONG WITH
AMERICA?

There is no use saying nothing is
wrong with America, because some
thing is wrong. There is too much
spending and too little earning; too
much extravaganza and too little
economy; too much restless and
vague desire and too little real en-
joyment. Something is wrong.
1--WE believe this is what is the mat
ter. America has been builded by a
race of people, who knew nothing
about the soft life. All they knew
was work, denial, hardship, and good
straight fun when it was time for it.
They knew nothing about taking
something which someone else had
already made and sitting back to
watch the money roll in. The citi-
zens of foreign countries who came
in those days knew there were great
values here, provided they would
pitch in and earn them. They did
not come expecting something easy
or soft. They came expecting some
thing good and real and honest, and
they got it.
"The present generation of Amer
leans has forgotten what it has all
cost. They see this wonderful busi-
ness and commercial structure, and
they think it all just happened, that
it has always been this way. They en-
Joy these comforts and reap these
easy dividends, and think this has
always been the order of the day.
The people from other countries who
have come recently have been told
that it is soft over here, that there
are loads of money and lots of easy
Jobs, and that everything is fine.
"What the present generation of
Americans and the present class of
residents from foreign countries need
| is a clear understanding of the kind
of thing that has produced America,
and clear understanding that the
same kind of thing is going to pro-
duce a still greater America. If we
could have some of the old fashioned
hard work, and saving and self-de-
nial, we might also have some of the
old fashioned contentment and joy
of living. The present generation
has more than any other has ever
had, and it is bored to death. 1t
thinks because everything isn't still
softer and still more perfect, that it
is all wrong.
ct is time for revival of Ameri-
can common sense and American SIM
pie tastes and work and saving"

A VISIT TO CENTRAL STATE
NORMAL

The Genesee County Normal of
Flint recently attended the Normal
Rally at Mount Pleasant. About two
hundred students representing eight
teen County Normals, were in attend
ance. The guests were royalty en-
tertained in the homes of the city and
at the Normal School.
The morning of the first day was
spent visiting the Training School.
This proved exceedingly profitable,
as the visitors saw work in all the
grades and had an opportunity to OBJ
serve expert teaching. This was fol-
lowed by general assembly where
H. q. WILDER, Deputy Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, and the
members of the State Board of Edu-
cation gave brief talks. In the af-
ternoon very interesting addresses
were. given by f. G.. Blair, State
Superintendent of Illinois, and H. z.
WILDER. A banquet was held Friday
evening at which J. M. Munson of
Central Michigan Normal presided
as POSTMASTER. During the banquet
the various counties showed their
pep" and enthusiasm in the spirited
yells which were frequently given.
After the banquet the Physical Edu-
cation classes presented charming
pageant. At the closing session the
next day, and guests had once more
the good fortune to listen to F. c..
Blair. An earlier address given by
r. ID. Calkins of Central State Nor
NAL went straight to the heart of
every listener. Round table talks
given by Miss Frances Farnham,
Margaret Hutty and r. A. Turner
completed the official program. The
visit was so decidly worth while that
the guests expressed the sincere wish
that they might attend Central State
Normal in the near future.

TO SUBSCRIBERS

A condition wholly unprecedented
in the newspaper business has arisen
whereby the expense of producing
newspaper has been doubled, thus
rendering absolutely imperative the
practice of the utmost economy in or
der that the business may be contin-
ued at all. Chicfest among the items
of expense is that for paper, which
has increased from &c or 4c per
pound during the pre-war period to
16c at the present time. Every 9TH
er item entering into the production
of a newspaper has also arisen in
very marked degree, alhough not so
much as paper. Because of these
facts, as we have stated, rigid econ
omy is necessary if the business is to
be continued. And right here we
may say that if it were not for feel
ing that The Messenger fills an i'm
portant place in the life of the COM
munity, that it is needed from a con-
structive point of view, we should be
inclined to discontinue its publication
until, at least, things have resumed
a normal condition. We should be the
more inclined to do this as we could
easily find all the work our plant
could turn out without printing the
paper-work of more profitable
kind. But we cannot think of dis
continuing a business which has been
a public convenience in the commun-
ity for more than a quarter Of a CEN
tury and we are willing to do our
part in maintaining it if our sub
scribers will do theirs. This means,
reduced to simple terms, that we
must have our subscription money
promptly. In the years of easy cred
it we have been willing to let sub
scription accounts drift along. Now
we are simply obliged to have them
paid up promptly. Nothing less is
possible. Therefore please look,
THIS WEEK, at the label on your
paper and ascertain the date to
which you are paid. If this inspec-
ton shows that you are in arrears we
shall expect that you will settle with
out delay. This means everyone.
1t is not a dun. 1t is merely an ap-
peal for necessary cooperation in an
emergency that is wholly real. The
great majority of our subscribers are
paid in advance. Every one of them
ought to be. 1t is life insurance
for the local paper. We trust that
all who are in arrears will give at
tention to this notice. Those who do
not will receive a statement and
those who pay no attention to the
statement, as a matter Of necessity,
will have their papers discontinued
/ This notice means Just what it saws.
