TOM WATsoN's DISCLOSURES.

) The nation as whole will be
rather slow to accept Tom Watsons
statements of cruelties to American
soldiers in France. The Georgia
senator will have to establish his case
beyond a reasonable doubt for the
majority Of the people to lay much
stress upon his charges. Too many
people believe that Watson is at
tempting to justify his own anti-draft
law and anti-war record at the ex-
pence of the American army.
As matter of fact. in
the nature of circumstances there
was what appeared to be harsh and
cruel treatment meted out to privates
in the American army. But for that
matter there has always been harsh
treatment accorded soldiers in all
wars, because war itself is a harsh
and cruel thing, and the discipline
upon which the success of armies de-
pends has at all times fallen harshly
upon those who are not anaenable to
discipline. An old is Confederate
soldier once told me that he had
known men "shot at sunrise" for no
greater offence than that Of ap-
: propriating to. thei rown use a stray
chicken-and that too when, they
were almost on starvation.
On the whole the army which AM
erica sent to France was as we'll if not
better treated and better paid than
any army ever recruited by an coun-
try in history. If there were in
stances that tend to disprove this
statement they are merely exceptions
that emphasize the general truth of
the statement,
Many civilian observers in close
proximity to our training camps dur
ing the war, however, were convinced
that the discipline of the army was
based entirely too much upon that Of
Prussia-that there was entirely too
much autocracy in the army and not
nearly so much democracy as one
would naturally hope for in the army
of republic so democratic as the
United States.
Senator Watson has raised an issue
that the senate cannot :, ignore. 1t
should thoroughly and investigate the
charges and let the country have the
truth regardless of whose reputation
! may be injured.
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1921-11-09

the American viewpoint. The con-
ference so soon to meet at Washing
ton has opened up line of discussion
in regard to the Far Eastern question
which is likely to lead to serious COM
plications.
The people Of the United States do
not want any more war. They have
welcomed the effort Of the president
to settle. the delicate Far Eastern
question in such a way that conflict
with Japan can be averted and the
taxpayers of the country can get re-
:ief from the expense of building and
keeping up a big navy. They are
hoping for the utmost success of the
undertaking. But close observers
who are familiar with world condi-
rions are by no means sure that sue
cess is to be had.

CHEER UP.

The times are sadly out Of joint.
But they have been sadly out of joint
before. We haven't gone entirely to
the bowbows yet. In fact we have
many blessings for which we need be
thankful Diligence, thrift and per-
severance will do great deal towards
putting US back on our feet. When
ever you feel real blue just sit and
think about what the generation just
passing away faced at the close of
the Civil war. Many Confederate
soldiers walked home from the sur
render after being overpowered' only
to find that hostile army had made
their homeland almost wilderness.
Devastation and poverty was every
where. The conditions of labor had
changed from the basis of slavery to
that of free labor, and the emanci-
pated slave become by the scratch of
a pen thc political equal of his former
master Did those men sit down and
whine that nothing could be done.
No. They went bravely to work and
on the ruins Of their former civiliza
ton they have. in little more than half
a century wiped out all traces of one
of the greatest tragedies in history
and established a new civilization bet
ter than the old and on more en-
during foundation.
Let US all have courage and faith.
Let us use diligence, economy and
honesty in all our dealings s.ad we
will soon be doing we'll again.
We have the land, we have the eli
mate, we have the brains, let us have
the courage to make this the best
part of the best country in the world.

WILL HE SUCCEED?

Will President Harding have better
:, success with his Conference for Lirni-
tations Of Armaments than had Mr..
Wilson with his League of Nations ?
In one way he has made a better
start. He has recognized that any
treaty which may result from the de-
lberations Of this body will have to
secure the backing Of the senate, and
( has accordingly selected as members
Of the American commission Senator
Lodge, chairman of the foreign rela-
! tons committee, and Senator Under
wood, leader of the Democratic forces
In the senate. Mr.. Harding, there
fore, may be able to secure ratifica-
ton Of the work of his commission
in the senate.
But-and it is big one-what is
he going to get for the United States
ion of trained observers is that the
failure Of the conference VII mean
a race for naval armaments IND war
between the United tSates and Japan
in the near future. Will the United
States be able to so shape the delibi
erations Of the conference that Eng
land will be willing to refuse to renew
her alliance with Japan, which has
given the latter great power and pres
,tige and practically free hand in the
Orient? And if Lloyd George con-
sents to this course what will be the
price that America must pay for Eng
land withdrawing her support from
the Japs? Mr. George holds the
trump cards. Does anyone expect
that he will play them in the interest
of America or of England?
Would it not have been better to
have accepted the League of Nations
in the hope that it in time could
have been conformed more nearly tc
