peared in numerous papers through
out the country repeating a report
from Paris under date of May 81 TO
the effect that inventory of the Unit
ed States army supplies sold to the
French government disclosed the fact
that many of the cases received by
the French were empty and that the
contents of other cases consisted of
silk lingerie and other articles Of
woman's attire. The report further
stated that thousands of cases of
babies underwear were discovered.
This matter was Immediately taken
up by the army authorities with the
proper French government official
namely, the under secretary of state
for the liquidation of stocks-and he
categorically denied the reports, stat
ing that they were absolutely without
foundation.
"From time to time reference is
made to the erroneous report, and the
war department desires to make pub
lis an absolute denial of this story, so
that any erroneous impression which
has been created may be dissipated."
Who started the story and why is
a complete mystery so far as the war
departments records are concerned.

Why There Are Wars
ATLANTA Constitution

Some of those who permitted their personal spleen
and violent political luminosity against President Will
to carry them to the extreme of mercilessly as
sailing the League of Nations movement in any form,
are now pointing in justification of their attitude
to the statement that ''ten raging in
ious parts of Europe and the Near Far East"
This they attribute to the inefficiency of the
League of Nations created in the Versailles
nant.
The fact is the world has working League of
Nations and the refusal of our Republican Senate
to raify the Versailles Treaty is the of most
of the wars that have been fought since the Peace
Conference.
And to the fact that there is effective League
of Nations is due the existence of all the wars
that are now going in Europe and elsewhere.
This country entered the world definitely
pledged to exert its full strength and Influence not
only toward defeating Prussian autocracy, but also
toward preventing in future.
We did our full part in the and gained
the complete confidence respect and admiration of
the whole world, especially of the weaker peoples
of Europe, not only because of what did in
bringing the world to end. but for the ideals
and the hopes and the inspiration we implanted in
Europe.
The League of Nations idea ours-supported
at first both by Republicans and Democrats.
The peoples of the whole world applauded and
accepted it; they built hopes upon it.
Then, due to the partisan bitterness of little
group of Wilson -haters in our Senate, deserted
our allies and the sacred cause for which had
fought, refusing to ratify the covenant that was
largely OF our own creation
Naturally, the effect has been to discourage and
dishearten the world Naturally old enmities among
the Europeans were again famed into life and new
ones were engendered
Ever since the world ended, Europe has been
In a state of uncertainty and chaos; and new wars
have been the inevitable result
And now the League opponents gloating
the fact that Europe and the Near and Far East
are still fighting, and declaring that the fact is
proof that the League is failure
Any far-minded citizen of ordinary reasoning
capacity knows that the that are now raging
vndicate the league principle, and prove nothing
else could, the necessity for a League of Nations
to prevent war
Had the League feature of the Treaty been rati-
fled by our Senate year ago, the world would have
been at comparative peace today

HOPE FOR POLAND

Despite the fact that the affairs of Poland
in sad due to large extent to her failure
to heed the admontions of the Allied governments
against attempting to annex by armed force por-
ton of Russia to the territory which she acquired
under the Versailles Treaty, in the statements being
made by French, British and American governments
lies hope the preservation of her national exis-
tonce and integrity There be no justification
for the policy of the Poles in deliberately wagng
offensive warfare against Russia. Such policy
had its foundation in lust for greater power and a
more extensive place in the SUM-.
In view of the Polish policy the Allied powers
cannot consistently take the position that Poland
should go free any penalty for her invasion
of Russia They have in fact indicated that they
will take a contrary view and will not resist any
proper payment demanded by the Russians for the
aggression the Poles Even the conquerers of
Germany they insisted that country paying for
her attempt take by force her place in the sun
in the spirit they will not object to, nor aid
Poland in attempt to avoid, Polish payment for
a similar for selfish national ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
And with the consistency the Allied powers
can stand firmly against any effort made by the
Soviet government to infringe the national in
tegrity and independence of Poland and insist that
the RED troops be held back of Polish borders This
the policy followed by themselves after the Ger
armies in France and Belgium had been de-
csively whipped. Having infinitely more cause for
for invasion of Germany than Russia has for
running Poland they withheld their armies from
such invasion and gave the enemy honorable peace,
exaetng only such would in
pay for the damage caused by unprovoked war With
perfect propriety they insist similar action
by Russia. And having done if they not
bluffing Russia may well abandon any hope
she has of establishing a Soviet Poland
Dispatches indicate that England is inclined to
believe that the Bolsheviki prepared to
through with whatever plan of campaign may have
been mapped out Conceding that dispatches

'Playing With Fire"
ATLANTA Constitution

According to report filed few days ago by
the National Board of Fire Underwriters the total
loss from fires in the United States during 1919
In round numbers, $325,000, 600
That of last year the heaviest aggregate
of losses this country suffered in any one
year with two exceptions-1906, when the San Fran
cisco disaster resulted in property destruction
amounting to something like $200,000,00O, and 1918
during which year the destruction of several large
munitions plants boosted the total to proportions
far and away above the yearly average.
The underwriters board report, says The Cleve
land Plain Dealer, shows that the people of the Unit
ed States whole literally playing with fire
to the tune of 1926, 000,0 900 year Continuing
This total which the underwriters
pers justify designate appalling means
loss of about 100000 per day in the year
and is equivalent to $313 for every man,
and child. The significance of the
per capita loss is better understood when
it is compared with RECORDS of foreign
countries. Last year Englands total
equivalent to 81 cents for each individual.
Continental Europe figures for 1919 are not
available but the latest records show per
capita loss of 20 cents in Germany 81
cents in Austria, SIS cents in France and
$110 in Russia"
Every year. American statistics show, the
normal average per capita fire loss in this country
is greater than that of the last preceding year-a
fact which Cleveland contemporary justly says
rs nexcusable in the of greater freproof con-
struction;' and, it continues
1T emphasizes the need of strict enforce
ment in all big cities of adequate building
regulations, wider adoption of the coming
system and invididual recognition of respon-
sibility for preventing fires
If fire prevention education included in the
course of study in each of public schools, from
the primary grades through the high school, it would
