THE FORUM
REVERSE THE SITUATION

Look back to the year 1918, suppos-
ing it had been a German victory and
the exiled kaiser with his following
of kind-hearted generals held the whip
First, would have been the drawing
up of a set of peace terms which would
have made the ones of today seem
very, very mild. Next the allies would
have to \carry them out, not two or
three years later, but at once. If they
could not and would ask for time and
ignore them altogether as Germany is
doing today, then We would be shown
some more of that German culture
which was so prominent in the world
war. Our sons fought and fell that we
might have peace that the wrongs
Of Europe and the tragic death of
those innocent souls on that Inflated
Luisitania might be righted, so this at
least shows that we have not SO soon
forgotten,
1t maybe that Germany cannot meet
all the demnads Of the peace treaty at
the present time but that does not
mean she shall ignore them altogether
as it seems she is figuring on doing if
she can keep putting the allies off.
She prepared her own medicine; now
let her partake of it. She cast a civ
ilized world into frey hell because
of a greed of worlds dominion which
had been burning within her breast
for the past fifty years. Her military
lords said the time was ripe to strike.

fact that there is a great propulsive
power in wind. Every man who has

this assertion. All the wind in the

could be done with all the wind that
is annually wasted by being blown
through musical instruments? The
waste by amateurs and beginners and
those taking lessons IS beyond COM

members Of professional orchestras is
not always a waste, but frequently,
even in this case, moro is used than
is necessary. The amount that is
wasted by orators during a presiden-
tial year like this staggers the

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
EVENING

EVENING
Evening is the rounding up time
The buzz Of the day lessons, the tired
horses are put into their barns, the
wheels of the factories stop running,
lights sparkle from windows clear
around the world. How we all look
forward to Evening!
For Evening is play time-its rest
time.
All the memories Of the day are
wrapped around the thought and talk
Of Evening And it's at Evening, after
the hur1y-burly of the day is over, that
we are able to get ourselves together
in compact style and find out how far
we've gone, wherein we have failed,
and the manner in which we have
achieved something worth while.
Let's not just accept Evening as
something that comes around in the
natural order Of things. But let us
make it something that meets us like
the pleasant chap at the door Of an inn
when we arrive for the night. And
let's always be happy and cheerful at
the Evening-time.
Evening IS the hour of laughter, OF
good cheer, Of reading, of reflection.
Morning has it's sunrise, its tnspir-
ing freshness and promise. Noon has
its fulfillments. But Evening, with Its
opalled sunsets, its darkening shadows
soft as velvet, and its vapory touch of
quiet, happy repose-what moment OF
life is quite like that Of Evening!
Let us love our Evenings.

After this report had gone before council, it
agreed that expansion of some kind was neces-
sary in the plant. Then arose the squabble over
the extent of the improvement. Competent
engineers informed city officials that the ma
chinery which the board of works recommended
was the most efficient for the purpose for which
it was required.
The board of works throughout the contro-
versy was not. acting without competent counsel
and advice but depended upon practical and
technical men for recommendations and sugges-
tions-a perfectly sound and busness-lke course
to pursue. Council, however, persisted in its pol
icy of obstruction, not because it denied the ne
cessity of Che improvement, but because it was
feeding fat grudge against the board.
In the meantime the financial affairs of the
plant showed temporary inability to meet cur
rent obligations, owing to neglect on the part of
the board to ask for increased rates soon enough.
But the deficit was small and, according to City
Controller Bescher the plant will be able to meet
all bills and the payroll by the end Of the month.
The plant is perfectly solvent. Any effort to
deny this fact is foolishness. The plants earn
ing capacity under the new rate schedule will be
sufficient, barring unforeseen contingencies, not
only to meet obligations, but also to show a
profit.
The necessity of buying new equipment needs
proof. If citizens want the assurance OF
continuous service in their homes and industries
auxiliary machinery to supply current when &C
cidents occur must be installed. If citizens want
the plant, now working to full capacity, to be
able to take on new customers, domestic and
power, additional units are required.

six weeks. United States cannot get
ready and she dare not raise a hand
against us.
She did strike but Europe refused to
go to her knees; she withstood the
cruel stroke Of the German mailed
fist and the trod Of the silver-heeied
boot United States got ready; took
up the dare thrust at her and crushed
the greatest military power Of all
time.
What is more disgusting than Ger
many's whining now that they are the
under dog as was their bullying AFRO
gance when they felt themselves to
be masters? Other nations have
fought and lost. They met the peace
terms laid before them, so the thing
for Germany to do, if she ever expects
to be considered anything but an out
, law nation in the eyes of the whole
world, is to meet the peace terms or
at least show an inclination to do so
because the patience of the allies has
been taxed to the limit and the time
will come when Germany's squawking
| will go unheard

The Municipal Light Plant

Business and professional men will meet Fri
day to determine the course they wish council
to adopt relative to the municipal light plant.
The committee Of seven has gathered data on
the financial condition of the institution and the
report of its findings probably will be the basis
shaping the policy adopted by the men who at
tend the meeting.
The light plant has been forced into the fore
ground of municipal discussion by the long con-
test waged between the city council and the
board of works on the question of appropriating
$275,0OO for the purchase of new machinery.
1t may be well for citizens to recall the his
tory of that struggle. The board of works made
no recommendation to the city council until it
had called in competent engineers to make a sur
vey Of the plant and report its needs. The board
of works felt that experts were required to de-
eide if the plant was working to it's capacity, if
the demands for current by domestic consumers
and power users necessitated expansion, if new
machinery required, what it's capacity
should be- and scores of other details of tech
nical and seIni-technical nature.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Do you wear
glasses? Are, you e victim OF eye strain
or other eye weaknesses? If so. you
will be glad to know that according to
DR.. Lewis there is real hope for you.
Many whose eyes were failing say they
have had their eyes restored through
the principle of this wonderful free
prescription. One man says after try
ing it: Il was almost blind; could not
see to read at all. Now 1 can read
everything without any glasses and my
eyes do not water any more. AT night
they would pain dreadfully; now they
feel fine all the time 1t was like
miracle to me-" A lady who used il
says: THE atmosphere seemed hazy
with or withoutSglasses but after
using this prescription for fifteen days
everything seems clear. I can even
read fine print without glasses" 1t is
believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in a rea
sonable time and multitudes more will
be able to strengthen their eyes so as
to be spared the trouble and expense of
ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of
many descriptions may be wonderfully
benefited by following the simple
rules. Here is the prescriptions: Go to

craftsmanship title Of the world is at
stake in the Olympic target shooting
events beginning today at the Belgian
army range at Camp Bevarloo, about
80 miles from Antwerp, in the direc-

The best army and civilian trap
shooters with army rifles, pistols and
carbines, drawn fromsall corners Of the
earth, are competing with their chosen
weapons. One unusual feature Of this
target shooting is that the American
rifle is represented by two teams-the
American and the Belgian. The lat

was the best in the world and secured
permission from the war department
at Washington to use it.

IN NEW PRESIDENT E|:;lN
 OF GUATEMALA !

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 29 (by Asso- ciated Press) The recent president ial election in Guatemala will have beneficial effect on the commercial interests in the United States, says Dr. Edwin R. Heath, of Kansas City, consul stationed here for Guatemala and Boliva and consul general for Honduras and Nicaragua.
 American investors in Guatemala are fortunate in the recent election to the presidency of Guatemala of | Carlos Herrera by an overwhelming majority after the enforced withdraw al of Don Mauel Cabrera" Dr. Heath said. "Cabrera was another Diaz. While he had done much for his cOun- try, he had been an autocrat for many years, and would not allow an other candidate for president to be presented. The new president is much more in sympathy With Amer jeans and American ideals.
 'There is a great need of a better understanding between the United States and the republic of Central and South America. The most crying need is for improved mail service States mail is very uncertain in South America. Steamship compan- ies have fulfilled their contracts when the mail has been unloaded on the wharf and distribution is left largely to chance. Improved consular ser vice and better shipping facilities from the United States to South Am erica are greatly needed.
 American commercial interests need salesmen educated in the lan- guage and diplomacy required to car ry on trade with South American peo- pie. South Americans prefer our manufacturers, but their difficulty is to get satisfactory service. Great railway projects are under way in Bolivia and other parts of central and South America. These will be if nanced partly by the citizens of the United States, but their progress is temporarily checked by the internal disorders in Bolivia"
 Dr. Heath is fellow of the Roy al Geographical Society of London and noted South American explor er In his explorations he discovered the Rio Madre de Dios and opened up valuable rubber forests in Bolivia and Brazil. A river which forms part of the boundary between Boliva and Peru is named for Dr. Heath.
