A CRUEL PEACE

Miss Julia Lathrop of Chicago,
chief of the federal children's bureau
at Washington, has returned from
Europe and says she is glad to be
home. The conditions in central
Europe, she says, are unbelievably
painful. There Is no peace in CEN
trail Europe. Everywhere there is
hatred, distrust, fear and suspicion,
intrigue, unrest, uncertainty, dis
comfort and want"
/ Miss Lathrop visited Poland, Rou-
mania, Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, and
Czecho- Slovagia. These are not
the worst spots which have been de-
vastated not by war but by peace,
but even in them conditions were
unbelievable.
The war was made against the
rulers, but the peace was made
against the peoples. The United
States entered the war telling these
peoples that their only fault was
their subsection to these rulers, and
we know that our promises were
such that our enemies believed us.
They thought that our victory and
not theirs would be their salvation,
and in this hope they began to dis
integrate behind their rulers and
their armies. Mr. Wilson was kind
in war and cruel in peace. We were
not, he said, making war on the peo-
Piles of Europe, and they must have
thought that IL we were honest with
them while they were fighting we
could be honest with them IL they
surrendered.
We were delivered to the infamies
of dishonest peace, just as they
were, and these infamies are suppos-
ed to have a moral gloss in the I'm
tied States. A stubbornly right
senate has seen to it that the United
States has not put it's signature to
the document, but the United States
helped make the conditions which
Miss Lathrop found.
The purpose of the peace to which
Mr.. Wilson assented was destruc-
ton. The destruction did not in
volve the rulers against whom we
fought in the misery in which it in
volved the peoples whom they mis-
governed.
The destruction and starving of
Austria, the looting of Hungary, and
the vicious partition of central Eur
ope to break It into groups of weak,
desperate, hungry, hating nations all
was done to establish the continental
supremacy of France.

DANES CRUSH STRIKE
Society Organized in Copenhagen
Likely to Become World Wide

The harbor strike is failure
! The strike of crane workers was a
! fiasco. A number of other large
and small scale walkouts, each af-
fecting the vital necessities Of the
nation, have been broken. Many
| Danish government officials and bust
ness men believe that a means has
been found OF ending the menace to
| the nation every time the workmen
who supply il with light, heat trans

refuse to accept arbitration.
The new force combating strikes
is the Foreninger standardization,
or Social Aid Society. 1t has won

/ 400 men in the harbor unloading
ships from the two Americas. These
ships brought animal and human
food supplies which would have
spoiled had the 10000 striking har-
| Dor workers had their way.
The Social Aid Society is not a
strike-breaking agency, as under
| stood in America. 1t is volun-
teer organization formed to combat
both waIkouts and lockouts, and
acts only on request of the govern
ment when the dispute involves one
| of the necessities of life.
During the first days of the big
! Copenhagen strike cargoes of she'll

which were in danger of spelling,
and the wharves were crowded with
more than 100000 worth of
Danish butter for America and other

said Mr.. Fenger, land at first had
little support. The government
had no faith in us and the employ
ers wanted us to be an instrument
for use only against the workers,
not against both lockouts and walk
outs.
Jensen, socialist mayor of Copen-
hagen, was the first to call on us to
unload some ships with rye. The
rye was beginning to burn. Jensen
gave us full police protection.
"Our object now is to form an in

posed this to General Bailleau and
l'Union Civique in France, the
Commonwealth union in England

MUCH ROAD WORK DONE
Public Highway Between Extra and
Audubon to BE Changed

Federal aid road projects, embrac-
ing the construction of upward of
100 miles of permanently graded
highways in a half dozen southwest
Iowa counties, comprise one of the
most extensive road improvement
programs in the state, according to
l.. M. Hartin, district highway en-
gineer, who is in general charge of
the improvements.
Highway improvements under the
direction of the state highway COM
mission are being carried on at
present in the counties. of Shelby,
Audubon, Adair, Harrison, Mont
gomery, Adams and Fremont. In
some of these, notably Montgomery,
work is far advanced. In others it
is just starting. Still other coun-
ties will let contracts within the
next few weeks.
Shelby county this week begins
work on a ten-mile project extend
from Harlan west to the Harrison
county line. Four outfits will be at
work and 100000 cubic yards OF
dirt will be moved.
Adams county on July list began
wor kon a ten-mile project extend
ing from Corning west to the Mont
gomery county line, where it will
connect with the project nearing
completion in the latter county.
The Adams county project calls for
the moving of 234,OO0 cubic yards
of dirt.
Within two weeks a contract will
be let in Fremont county on pro-
iect which will necessitate the NOV
ing of 265,000 cubic yards of dirt.
This will be one of the longest of
any of the projects.
Adair several weeks ago let the
contract for fifteen-mile project
from Greenfield to Menlo.
Work on the Harrison county pro-
ject has been under way for some
time.
