UNFORTUNATE FRANCE.

1t is announced the Italian govern
ment viii give its moral support to
France in its occupation of part of
the supposedly neutral zone on the
eastern side of the Rhine but under
no condition would it employ its mill
tary forces to support France S move
ment. None of the nations allied with
France in the late war can do less and
indications are that none will do more
The Germans have openly violated the
terms of the treaty of Versailles which
was formulated by France. England,
United States and Italy by sending
German troops into the zone it pledged
itself to keep out of. The act is a vio-
lation of the agreement with all these
countries and may be said to be an act
of hostility to all of them, but France
is the one country endangered by this
German move. She is left to defend
herself from this menace of an enemy
Of years standing
France is most unfortunate. She
has been deserted by the nations she
asked to aid her in defending her from
German aggression The French An
Clio American treaty avails her nothing
because the United States has not even
considered ratification of the treaty
and England says her ratification was
conditional on ratification by America.
She is deserted in her hour of peril
and may be forced to reopen the hos
tilites that have devastated her coun-
try and exhausted her resources. That
| the treaty Of Versailles is not already
| a dead letter is due to France. She
alone has tried to hold the treachefou,
| Germans to a scmblance of its terms
| They have violated the treaty in many
ways, by refusing to deliver the Goa
| pledged, by destroying the warship'
promised to the allies, by maintainin,
a larger army than was permitted ant
by concealing great stores of guns an,
airshirs that were to be surrendere,
and none but France has made effectiv
protest against this perfdy.
The German menace to France an,
then the rest of the world has no
been removed, in fact. has hardly bee
checked by The treaty and the rest o
the world simply offers its moral SUP
port to her defense 1t is hoped Their
will be no more war but the indiffe1
ence of her former allies greatly II
! creases the probability Of it.

In the happenings Of fifty years ago
printed in the Saturday Reformer an
item tells of woman of South Wind
ham who, although well along in years,
had in II months time woven on a
hand loom 432 yards of cloth, spun
80 pounds of wool flax and tow. done
much knitting and all her own house
work as well as watching with the
sick of the neighborhood when needed.
She was what we now term producer.
She was not on the verge of 8 nervous
breakdown because of the servant
problem; she belonged to no labor
union; her only labor troubles were in
finding the day long enough instead of
short enough. Would that the old
pioneer spirit might descend to some
of the minds of the present day.

Il am so grateful for what Tanlac has
done for me that | want to tell the whole
world about it, said Mrs. NJ f. Proctor,
of III w. First St, Los Angeles, Calf,
when speaking OF the splendid results she
had obtained from the medicine To
think that | should have suffered for so
many years, and spent hundreds of dollars
in vain efforts to get relief and then find
complete relief after taking only four
bottles of Tanlac, seems too good to be
true.
YES, indeed; for years and years
suffered terribly from stomach trouble.
Everything ! ate seemed to form gas and
so affected my heart and breathing that

forts to get my breath These attacks
caused me intense suffering and were 50

some member of the family for fear
should succumb during ono Of the attacks.

that | had to give up all household

time without getting good night ;
sleep and as a consequence became very
nervous and low-spirited. In fact, ] was
a confirmed invalid and my friends did
not expect me to live very long
\ Il sat reading the paper one evening
when my eye caught the statement of a
lady who had suffered with similar trouble
to my own and telling how she had been

| for bottle and startefi taking it and the
, results have been most surprising.

William R. Robertson, who has just
been made a field marshal of the Brit
ish army. His first notable service was
in the Chitral Relief Expedition in
1895, when he took part in the hard
est fighting and was severely wounded
After that campaign he returned to the
intelligence department at the British
war office, and was one of the few
men who made a reputation in the
South African war. On the outbreak
of the World war he went to France as
quartermaster general. Then he became
chief of the imperial staff and contin-
ued in that most important position
until near the end of the war, when he
resigned and later was appointed chief
of the forces in Great Britain. SiI

Lining Up.
bennington Banner

The newspapers of the state are lining
up for Frederick H. Babbitt for governor.
While nobody accuses the newspapers of
being any wiser or better than other peo-
pie, they are closer observers of public
affairs and have greater familiarity with
public needs because their business takes
them all the time into touch with public
questions. With four exceptional men
aspiring to the office of governor this
year the sole issue is the selection of the
man best qualified to serve.
