GERMANY UNDERSTANDS ONE LANGUAGE

Germany understands the language of the ul-
timatum. She understood FOch when the Hinden-
burg line dissolved and the allied armies stood
ready to carry victory to Berlin. Despite the null
toplied assertion of "nicht verstahen,' Germany
has understood all along. She understood France
plainly. But she hoped that dissention among the
allies might assist Germany to avoid or escape
part of her just penalties. Like the criminal who
appeals from one court to another and begs for
cOntinuances, Germany held out in the hope that
something would happen"
Something has happened. Happened several
times There has been unconsicousable delay in
the negotiations. But when the final ultimatum
has been delivered and agreed upon the German
Icabinet, like Davy Crockett's coon, is ready to
come, is ready to come down without being shot
down.
It might have been accomplished long ago
In fact it should have been settled and accomplish
ed at the close of the armistice. Foch had the
right idea. He knew Germany.
-. At the end of patience altogether too far ex
tended the allied nations are ready to punish in
stead of threaten That has ended the long drawn
game that Germany has so skilfully played anC
brought final settlement of peace and an open gat
to the return of world prosperity. Germany un
derstands but one language-that of force. 4

''THE END OF THE TRAIL"

Franklin K. Lane dictated a message to
friends from his bed at the hospital succeeding
his operation and while the event of life and death
hung in the balance. That communication from
him to his intimates is very much worth reading
and studying by the rest of us who have not as yet
come to where we can see plainly "the end of the
traiP where it melts into the shadows. He goes on
to say that he had seen death by violence and had
narrowly escaped attempts on his life but:
Never before have been called upon to de-
liberatey walk into the valley of the shadow and,
say what you will, it is great act. But here was
path to the end of which 1 couIa not see. l was
not compelled to take it. My very latest doctor
advised me against taking it. l could live some
time without taking it. 1t was bet on the high
card with chance to win and took it."
AS he came with this deliberation toward the
lend of the trail trail," Mr.. Lane confesses that
his nerves were not just as good as they should
have been" He imagines that those men who
sleep quietly for hours before they are to be cleo
trocuted 'have evidently lived more tranquil lives
than have or have less concern for the future
The future filled his mind. He recalled the words
of Socrates addsessed to his friends with the hen
lock cup in hand: 'No evil can befall good mar
whether he be alive or dead," and pondering upol
that l don't know how far from that we hav,

SUNSHINE AND MEMORY.

1t is beautiful day when we celebrate beau
tifuI rnemories-for the memories of our dead are
always tender and beautiful. While Memorial
day and should be always first of all a memorial
TO those who defended their country, the observ-
ance of it in a general way adds even wider ten
derness and accentuates its bueaty, This is be-
cause while we have not all orr soldier dead, we
do all have loved ones who have gone on, ard the
general observance of the day seems in some way
to bring an intimacy and a tenderness that is
both natural and beautiful It takes away the
isolation and the mystery-and perhaps some OF
the sorrow.
Wonderful men were they whose service we
celebrate and remember on Memorial Day. How
wonderful none can realize unless he has known
bv personal propinquity and knowledge the sacrl-
flee and suffering they endure SO bravely and
without complaint. Of all service that men give
to their country the proffer of life and future
and health made and give by those who defend
our homes and liberties afield and afloat stands
highest For to offer and give life for others
is the expression of the greatest love man can
hold for men. And so Memorial Day is the war
riors day, the sadly beautiful holiday of "the
service" the celebatiOn of the supreme sacrifice.
Still the flowers that smile and grow among
the many graves where the plain, prOsaic citizens
lie after the day has closed for them are tributes
to sacrifice and loving servnce giXen freely. The
roses that deck the spot where faithful mother
lies are not more beautiful and fragrant than her
love and sacrifice to her own and to others. Faith
ers who labOred and sacrificed sisters and broth
ers who paid willingly the debt one to another of
kinship and kindness, wives and husbands whose
tenderness cannot die while those who received it
live on. The little bunch of wild flowers cleaned
by the calloused hands of toll and poverty and the
richest treasures of the hot house are equal above
the sod as those whose graves it covers are equal
beneath it.
Memorial day is often spoken of as the day
to commemorate sacrifice. And yet is death Oft
en- a sacrifice? The boys who went to France and
stayed and the the brave souls who nursed and
suffered and gave their lives in the battle with the
flu, the fathers and mothers who have worked
through the years that their children might be
better men and women, none of these regarded
their going as sacrifice. Where people love
either their own kindred, their country or hu-
manity itself, death is no sacrifice The unknown
the awfuness, the mystery of death; the dread
of it all seems to be passing from US as race anC
g more and more we regard it as the Great Adven
ture.
A day of kindness and love- halt in the bustl,
of the long year to live again in memory with al
our dead to honor greatly the little green tent
where the soldiers hide and acclaim their sacri
fice but withal a universal memorial of all ou
dead whose service lives in memory.
We are the better for this pause, to stand fo
the moment with uncovered heads and heart
full of tenderness to remember, just to remember

HOPI SNAKE DANCE
is ACT OF EXPIATlON
Tradition Giving Rise to Ceremony
Described by Sculptor l'T-
ina with Indians,

lllH lWlii lllbldIo'
Phoenix. Ariz., July 20 On the
Pa ntcd Desert of northern Arizona
Hopi Indians next month viii hold
their noted snake dances, which ann
ua!ly attract thousands of tourists.
This year the dances viii be held IN
the villages of Walpi and MishongnoyL
Most people believe the snake dance
in Hopi rain dance This Is not
correct, according to Emry Kopta, q
gcuptor who claims that the cere-
mony a form OF Indian ancestor
worship. Mr.. Kopta has been living
in Wa pi vii age for seven years, and
say the Hops always hold their rain
dances IN June and July and the snake
dances in August.
Describing the ceremony, Mr- kopta
declared the dancers open dance by
stamping upon a plank laid over pit
This Is intended to notify the dead
that the ceremony has begun Be
tween 100 and $50 snakes are needed
for the annual dances.
Out of the scores of Hopi traditions.
has come a story telling Of the origin
of the snake dance. according to the
( SCULPTOR. The tradition tells OF a
Hop youth. a dreamer who once set
out to find what lay beyond the FAR
hills. He foated down the muddy
Colorado until he came to a land be
lieved to be California. There he met
and wed a maiden of strange tribe
and took her back to his Hopi VIII
age
The first children of the young cou-
pie we're snakes, and the Hopis expe'l'
ed the two from the village. Then
the crops failed the Indians suffered
from starvation and the old village
priest said the trouble was brought on
by the expulsion. He declared rain
would not IA or crops mature until
the couple was brought back.
Acting on the priests advice. the
Indians searched the deserts for the
two and eventually found them.
After leaving the village, the woman
had borne human children and these
were brought back But the snake
children had glided oi,into the desert.
! In celebration of the couples return,
the Indians danced the first make
dance and. since the snake children
could not be found, they brought all
the snakes they could find to attend
the ceremonies.

Checks

r. S. Tracy, a young man wha has

brought back here from Livingston
last Friday in charge of Detective
James Keown, to await further action
in charges of forgery. Tracy was
placed in the county jail and will be
held there until such time as more
definite information is filed against
