THE MESSAGE OF AMERIcANIsM.

Ambassador Harvey's London address continues to
occupy a large share of public discussion both at home
and abroad. And on this side opinion agrees that no
one event has so signalized the return to American
ism in our government as his utterances. Pledges of
American sacrifices for European rehabilitation, which
featured utterances of members of the former admin
i~stration were quite lacking in Colonel Harvey's re-
marks. He gloried in the fact that he was a repre-
sentative of the United States, instead of offering
apologies for it.
Precisely as your ambassador went to Washing
ton as an unalloyed Briton, / come to Loadon as an
unalloyed American That's the way he put it.
Colonel Haryey's declaration of the motives that
inspired America to send her soldiers across the At
lantic rings with the American spirit that is found in
every line of his address.
Ear more prevalent until recently was the impress
sion that we went to war to rescue humanity from all
kinds of menacing perils,'' said the ambassador in
recollection of the beautiful idealisms uttered so fire.
quently by the former president Not a few remain
convinced" he continued, shat we sent our young
soldiers across to save this kingdom, France and Italy.
That is not the fact. We sent them solely to save
the United States of America, and most reluctantly
Let us go back and compare this sturdy language
with the sickening sentimentality that has gone be-
fore. On Memorial Day, 1913, standing in Suresnes
cemetery, among the graves of thousands of Amer
lean soldiers President Wilson uttered the following:
"Never before have men crossed the seas to a for
eign land to fight far a cause of humanity which they
did not pretend was particularly their own, but knew
was the cause of humanity and of mankind"
Those boys knew that they went to fight for Amer
lea, and their surviving comrades may glory in the
fact that the present administration is not afraid to
say so, even at a banquet table in London.
Further abandonment of the government-by-theor
policy that was upon US SO long was sounded by Col
onel Harvey, when he said: eve will get nowhere un-
til we abruptly put aside academic discussion Of theo-
retical proposals and manfully face, without mincing
or wincing, the actual realities"
How much better off would the world be today had
the peace conference at Paris confined itself to a-
tual realities instead of wasting months in roaming
through the realms Of disproved theory-had attended
to the business of making peace rather than attempted

WITH SHAME AND SORROW.

Referring to occurrences in recent days in Lara
mic the Boomerang says:
"Once more are the news columns of the local press
found to contain articles relating to immoral prac-
tees which, it seems, have gone on among certain cir
cles of young people in this city. Authorities who have
investigated the case and the parentage of the two
young men and girls have found that in all bu. one
possible exception, laxity on the part of the parents
of the young people may be considered to a large ex-
tent explanatory for that looseness in morals which
would permit a person to indulge in the base prac-
tees which have placed a stigma on the names of the
four young people and their families. This is a day
when temptation is more prevalent than ever before.
1t is more difficult than ever for the youth to go
straight and more difficult for the parent to teach.
but to the girl or boy who successfully evades tempta-
ton, and to the parents whose training helps their
children to remain decent, more credit is due than was
due those who lived in the age Of a generation or two
ago."

Board and the Interstate Commerce

The conference with tho President
was arranged late to-day, after the

OF lower freight rates. This conference
was described by delegates as unsatis-

that the farmers themselves meet with
representatives of labor, steel and the

The farmers declared they would
tell the President that reduction in

agriculture, but in the manufacturing
and other industries of the country.

There is small use of noticing state

president of the Erie Railroad Com

told, had the wasteful habit of fighting

portation companies are kept under
rules prescribed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. In due time we
may expect to see the facts made pub
lie. That is the answer to the lying
propaganda now circulating"
Another railroad head described the
statements as ridiculous, declaring they
hardly merited an answer
"The charges merely reflect ali effort
on the part Of the unions to throw dust
in the eyes of the public" said this
official. "If the statements are to be
credited the railroad executives of the
country apparently do not know their
business. AS matter of fact, the rail-
roads are. not earning anything and
some OF them are not even meeting
operating expenses.

considered the best in the world. that

Oil Industry Has Suffered
Mr.. Tcaglc, in discussing the general
effect of the current depression upon

oil industry has suffered severely.

European currency upset the foreign

Gasoline is the only one of the

demand is on par with last year But
as each and every one Of you knows, we
can make but just so much gasoline out
of each barrel of crude run; the other

dentally with gasoline, and as a result
we find ourselves to-day with out tank
