AMERICA HAS NOT
FAILED EUROPE IN
REFUSING LEAGUE
Actual Facts S h 0 W
America Is Standing
With Her Allies

LONDON.-"There is an impress
sion in many minds that America
has failed Europe, refused to ratify
the peace treaty, and withdrawn
from participation in the great work
Of reconstruction-in other words
has practically abandoned her former
allies in the time of their greatest
need.
Just what is the actual fact
America has been doing more for the
relief and reconstruction of Europe
than all other powers put together" +"
Such is the corrective to popular
opinion in Europe >and tribute to
America given by E. R. Peacock, an
Englishman who has travelled widely
during recent months and who writes
from Australia to the Spectator.
"This is bold statement" he
says, "but from personal experience
and observation l believe it to be
absolutely beyond dispute, and prob
ably the measure Of her help is only
feebly indicated by that comparison. +"
To the average Englishman, who
cannot rid himself of the idea that
America and the Americans always
do things with a brass band accom-
paniment, 'Peacock's portrayal of
Americas effort of mercy un-
doubtedly comes as surprise. Un-
questionably the vague opinion of the
average man In the street here Is that
American has abandoned Europe.
The idea was strengthened by the
election results.
American Relief Work
"Since the armistice," Peacock
writes, II have visited most Of the
countries between Asia Minor and
Denmark and between the English
Channel and the Baltic provinces.
Everywhere I have found social SER
vice agencies from America working
along unostentatiously, but very
practically and efficiently in the in
terest Of the people suffering from
the effects of the war. There is no
regard for nationality, race, religion
or politics, but simply the recogni-
tion of human need.
1.-THE American is positive, practi-
cal and constructive, and everything
that touches his sympathy makes
strong appeal to his idealism.
"Here--is America supplying the
food gratuitously, rendering the Or
ganizing service and feeding between
100000 and 3,50O,000 children
every day-day after day, week after
week and month after month, during
the armistice and right up to the
present time.
eve have got used to talking in
big figures and they have lost their
real significance. The mind cannot
imagine the task this represents"
Peacock outlined for his country
men the main channels thru which
this work is done: Hoover's Child
Welfare organization, the American
Relief Administration Warehouses,
the American Red Cross society,
American Friends Service commit
tee, the Y. M. c. A., the Y. W. G. A.
and others.
"This does not pretend to be
complete account of Americas work
in Europe" he concludes, "being
simply that which has come before
the observation of a single traveller.
Stands With Allies
"It demonstrates, however, that
America is not standing out of the

Border Bootleggers
Take Heavy Profits
Quenching Thirsts

REGINA, Canada.--If the State of
Montana is not kept we'll and con-
stantly supplied with all kinds Of
liquor it is not because the induce
ments offered by the bootleggers of
that state to Canadians is not suffi-
cient, for the owner-driver Of taxi
cab here informed the Internation nal
News correspondent that his profits
on single rum-running expedition
amounted to very little short-of
$4,000.
The accumulation of this profit in
cidentally, involved the expenditure
Of no capital on his own part except
the ordinary running costs of his car,
for his car was loaded in Regina
with whiskey purchased by the agent
Of the Montana dealer at SO bottle
and he was instructed to collect SIS
q bottle for it from the Wholesale
bootlegger" on the American side.
At this rate his profits on ship
mont Of one gross approximated
$500.
As to how the bootlegger made his
own profit the international News
correspondent was informed that the
heaviest inducements were necessary
IL the work was to be done. The
bootlegger's own smaller, but still
substantial, profit is made when the
liquor is re-sold in Montana at still
further increase.
Another liveryman here tells Of
having been offered $1,000 to do no
more than take his car to within
seven miles of the international
boundary and there hand it over to
a man from the American side who
will complete the journey.

Makes Wrinkles Go
 "As If By Magic"

Want to banish every wrinkle-from face, neck, hhnds-easily, quickly, com pietely? Try the famous saxolite formula, Nothing else nearly meets every re- quirement Whys Because 1t Is correct in principle and really, truly assists Na- ture. Possessing remarkable sstringent and tonic properties, 1t both tightens the skin-thus naturally smoothing out the iines-and improves capillary circulation and nerve tone-tending to strengthen loose tissue and bring about healthy condition. Yet. powerful as the saxolite lotion is, it won't harm your skin in the least And it's so easy to get the simple ingredients at your druggists, and so easy to mix them.
 Just dissolve one of pure pow dered saxolite in one-half pint of witch hazel-that's all. Bathe your face in this immediately every wrinkle and crease are affected, even the deepest. You are perfectly astonished, and delighted, with the result. You look like you've lost years from your agei-Adv.

pany staged a nice little game Of ball
at South Side park last evening IN
which the Classics came out ahead
SO. The feature Of the game was the
fact that a total Of only four errors
was registered, the Classics being
credited with three Of these and the
Wholesalers one. The Stevenson team
was short a player or two and had to
fill in with some material hanging
around the ball park, but they put up
a very respectable game against ing
speedy Glass team. Long pitcled sooo
ball for the Classics, allowing but fiye

OF errors were punched in one inning
permitting the Wholesalers to score
Two runs IN the fourth, and the deieat,
ed team annexed their other run IN
the sixth. The Classics scored three
times fin in the first, three in the tnlra
and one in the fourth and Ska

tsat some measure be put through al
once to assure the success OF The
league this summer.
:Sfr might be pointed out at this
mimi, that II would be very unwise 10
allow the city league to so by the
boards at the present time, as i is
IN a very healthy financial condition
and Is being given the support Of the
Fairmont public. With only q few
weeks Of the season gone and all ex,
oenses paid to date, 1t Is estimated
that there Is a balance IN the city
ledger OF about $500. This gives some
indication Of the patronage the league
is getting. The gate money last Sat
urday amounted to $500 at ten cents
a throw exclusive Of season tickets,
which is clearly indicative Of the firm
hold the league has on the fans in this
section.
And while we await the final deci-
sion in the matter let US all turn out
to see the game this evening.
