DepIores Arms for Germany.

To the Editor Tho Washington Herald:
We cannot but deplore the ap-
parent tendency-in seeking q peace
full solution Of the controversy be-
tween Germany and our recent al
lies in war-to emphasize doctrines
which tend 10 divide the councils Of
the allies. We see no permanent
peace in Europe SO long as Germany
is permitted to remain armed and
aided in regaining the economic
supremacy which she has heretofore
enjoyed, and which the facts show
has been but slightly interrupted by
the war.
II is but short sighted policy to
foster beyond narrow limits the
strength of this most aggressive
among the civilized nations Ger
many's persistent course OF evasion
during the past two and a half years
presents a likelihood. testified to by
many. that she is in course of prep
aration for her next aggressive at
tack upon France. Until Germany
disarms, until Germany makes rep
aration for the wanton injuries she
inflicted with intent to destroy the
economic life of Belgium and France
no possible reason exists for extend
ing to her the slightest considera-
tion or remission of any penalty.
The responsibility for future wars.
the direct responsibility for the loss
OF some millions of lives in the next
twenty years. the responsibility for
the fresh invasion of France, for
which Germany seems now deliber-
ately preparing, will rest heavily on
the conscience of any who aid her
criminal designs. whether they do
so through Ignorance or from pa
cifstic tendencies. Steps have been
taken TO prevent an expression Of
public opinion in this country. II Is
necessary that public opinion be ex-
pressed.

Well, one would hardly think SO
judging by the price the country

Beth, of the University of Vienna,
who is stopping at the Cosmos Club.
TT one takes financial remunera-
tion as the standard upon which to
consider the worth of the teacher to
your country" continued Prof. Beth.
''theS one must conclude that he or

amount for the needs and protection
and comfort of the physical side Of
life and will expect the mental side

AS nation would you consider

"Farmore than you deserve" HASH
ed the professor, .'for in education
you certainly come nearer getting
something for nothing than any peo-
pie l know of. Your teachers and
college professors are a long-suffer-
ing lot who should have rebelled
long ago against living as they must
live on the meagre salaries paid
them. For your crudest manual
labor, work that has cost the indi-
vidual nothing for preparation, you
will pay at least what you term a
living wage but this Is denied the

The increase in the cost of liv-

Yes. unfortunately" said Prof.
Beth, "and it is going to be more

test of mans ability to think and

Pittsburgh has barred bare legs the shimmy

somehow, to put up with bare legs and the
shimmy but we agree with the Pittsburgh pub

At the same time Judge Harper

ditch by Eldridge in his efforts to
get away. The order was drawn. by
Solicitor Dan Chappell against the
car; instead of against the owner, as
has been the custom, this change hav-

LESLIE, Feb. 26. - The Union

South, was completed this week, aft

the classes will be moved into it next

In connection with the announce

Everybody in the school district
will want to be present at the open

and the people Of Leslie and other
nearby towns are specially invited to
attend the big occasion. The enter
tainment, it is assured will be worth
many times the price, but to see what

tricts in the state has accomplished
will amaze the public.
The twelve class rooms will all be
occupied, seven by the grades, three

~No by domestic science and man
"Sal training departments.
The school lot is lO-acre tract,
rectangular in shape and with wide

financing adjusted compensation for
former service men is one of the

With the tax provision eliminated,

The question of taxes to meet the
