FRANCE KEEPS FAITH

By evacuating Frankfort, she announced in the beginning that it her intention to do, soon the German forces in the neutral German were removed, France has again demonstrated her good faith. There any doubt in the minds of those familiar with modern French history that that country sent her forces into German ter ritory east of the Rhine for the purpose she an nounced at the time of the movement. France is suspicious of Germanys good faith and she proposed 10 take no chances. She does not propose to permit Germany to hostilities that terminated with the defeat of the Imperial army in 1918
 When Germany found it necessary suppress the uprising in the Ruhr Valley and to send siderable army into that section in order do it., France occupied Frankfort and other cities She announced then that she proposed to be prepared resstany possible movement on the part of the Ger forces to strike at her frontier or evade the terms of the armstice and peace terms. She said that whenever Germany would the troops out of the neutral zone, she would retire back to the side of the Rhine release control Frank fort and the other cities. Germany removed her troops from the Ruhr Valley as it re- garded safe to do so, and France withdrew from Ger soil. This closed the incident

 The academic answer would probably be that modern students are assumed to have read modern authors of the first rank and particularly those of their own nation. But is it true? Does the Coum- bia Senior know his Hawthorne and Emerson to say nothing of the Federast, foundation block of the modern world, as well he knows Robert Chambers? We should like to think But the home reader cannot profitably make of this academic list without many additions, and omissions upon his account

 The remarks of A. Lincoln like the writings of scripture, seem to contain something that apples in every crisis. The wartime President it would seem had the Bolsheviks in mind when he penned this:
 rroperty IS the fruit Of labor property is de slraDle; It Is positive good in the world That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise

PLAN CUT INRUM
DEALERS PERMITS
Dodson Confers With Kramer to
Curb Alleged prescriptions"
for Liquor in Capital.

Richard =. Dodson. prohibition di-
rector for Maryland. which also In
cludes the District OF Columbia, was
in Washington yesterday and confer
red with Commissioner Kramer on the
question OF permits. After September
4. All permits Issued are good for
the year 1921 also. Those wishing 10
renew permits must file application
before october !, and many have filed
them already.
II is estimated that the number OF
permits In Mr. Dodson'6 territory con-
sists OF about 800 TO physicians. and
sixty-five to dealers. II is the inten-
tion OF the prohibition officials TO
cut this number materially, especially
in the case of dealers.
Any physician who wants pre-
scription book for liquor can have IL
under the law, and the prohibition Of
hcials have no discretion, except In
the case OF physicians who have
violated the law. Ii is not expected
that the number OF physicians apply
ing for permits will be increased, as
many physicians have notified the
prohibition officials that they do not
believe in dispensing liquor.
