Put Yourself In Frances Place
BY OR. FRANK CRANE (copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

It is always good thing to try to "put yourself Tn his place." If we would our imagination more Tn to ourselves the other fellows mind and feel ing would understand him better and so deal better with him.
 Put yourself in the place of France
 In the first place, France did not begin the war.
 The old system of rival nationalities and pre- pared armies, in which all the nations of Europe shared may have been the real of the trouble but the fact remains that France did not start the hostilities. She suddenly, wantony, and unrear sonaby attacked All she did was to defend herself, as any citizen of spirit would do if some thug set upon him. ..
 Secondly the war was fought on French territory. All nations suffered, but France most.
 England and the United States have bad war debts, just France has; but France has strip of territory and territory rch prosperous and thick ly settled any in the world, running from the Chan mel to Switzerland-a strip 800 miles long and from five to thirty miles widethat has been ruthessly devastated that it will take fifty years and billions of dollars to restore it.
 Who is going to pay for this?
 Some of it, such as the priceless buildings of medieval architecture can never be paid for.
 But who is going to pay the money immediately needed to give the people back their hoses factories and stores?
 Do you say Germany cannot pay? Then who will? And if nobody else will France must.
 She has already spent some S20,000 100000 at it., and so far Germany has paid but about billion in reparation, of which France gets only 52 per cent
 And France has to keep up her army Nobody else is going to protect her. Germany has military pense Must the nation that pillaged go bankrupt to make good her losses, while the bandit nation prospers?
 It is all very we'll for the United States to wash her hands of the whole affair and for Great Britain to look out for her trade with Germany, and to tell. France not to be revengefu but who is going to the doctors bill for the deep sword thrust into the flesh of France?
 If "all nations" were to blame for the conditions that brought the war; let all nations pay the bi let other nations cancel the debts France owes them. l Before we all forgive and forge let all equally pay our score There be love feast until there ,. has been Justice done.
 France is not militaristc. France hates the burd- en of armament as cordially the next country hates it. But in the lack of proper moral and physical sup port from her late Allies France is compelled to keep ! up her army if she is to get any justice. T France does not want to crush Germany. But Germany is the criminal who attacked her. and she i ssts that the criminal be not let off until at east tho damage has been paid for. That is all. sEe
 This is fair statement of the mind of France and i've cannot treat integently with her until compre hend her point of view

The First Curved Ball

When John B. Stanchfield died week ago there passed away not only of the best known lawyers of the metropolis, but the man who first saw the the public eye for many years counsellor whose services eagerly and widely sought, that many who had known of his discovery, had forgotten it.
 As undergraduate at Amherst College he pitched on the ball team of that institution day. 1t is said. ancient professor of physics told his class, in which numbered stanchfield that such thing a horizontal curve to hurled sphere impossible since said it violated all the nature and physics He cited formulae prove that he right The young pitcher replied that while the formuae might be correct he was ready to prove that he could throw though it did vio- late the well known laws He invited the professor to out the baseball diamond that afternoon and watch.
 The professor came and stood back of the catcher behind the end of a brick wall Near the other end. but sight the of learning the catcher stood Stanchfield. He wound up and delivered what is known the roundhouse and the pro- lessor the ball land in the catchers glove mitted that the thing had been done spite of his theories showing it to be impossible.
 Others may claim the title but it is generally conceded that Stanchfield thus the father of pitchers who have able mystify swingers with startling yara tons in the path the fast travelling sphere And he remained justly proud of the distinction In spite of the many additional honors that were accorded to him in after life.

Busnos Airss

We have been taught to think that Paris is the of fashions the dictator especially of womens wear. We also aware that Americans well dressed people men and women who care for dress. The English we regard as somewhat more careless and i'll clad.
 But the best dressed people are in neither the northern hemisphere. They the fashionable folks of Aires. Their fashions said to be about six months ahead of Paris The people there dress not only with elegance but taste; if we may separate elegance from taste To the resident of Argentina, the best dressed men of New York sometimes appear to be guilty of gaucherie.
 Lively colors and checks abhorrent to the men and women of Buenos Aires Any article of clothing that especially strikes the is repugnant to them. Altogether their tastes superior to those of the residents of other city in the world
 In many other respects. Buenos Aires excels any other city, It has the elaborate and the largest newspaper plant in whole world. the home of La Prensa the finest theaters of the world and it attracts the highest priced and singers year it is visited by Italian.

 It may be humiliating for us to know that there people anywhere who may excel in anything may regard crude in any line of endeavor in which we have taken pride. But humiliation is not the worst thing in the world that may come to us.

Disarmament

Disarmament or limitation of armament is some thing that cannot be accomplished in the twinklng of an eye as it appears to have been supposed 1t might be by the people who were going to usher in tho millennium immediately upon the close of the war-by an offhand agreement at Versailles as to the things that should be done right away It to be done merely 'by taking thought which would be ineffective as 1t would be to add cubit to one's stature which the Bible informs Is impossibity.
 Tho initiative toward securing limitation of armament has been taken by President Harding. with full realization of the of the the long negotiations that must and of the diff culties, interposed by human nature and, circum- stances that must be overcome.
 No sensible man Is under the illusion that are ended that they would be ended if all the bat tIeships sunk. If every were destroyed and the last unit of military organization disbanded
 It is true that If all this were brought about war would be more difficult frequent temptation to go to war. that which precpitated the world would be removed. but causes of would stin cur. and there would be war. just there when military implements were of the most primi- tive character.
 But at the limitation of armament is the best place to begin It is that the nations may be brought into concrete and businesslke agreement and such agreement would naturally involve other concrete agreements for peace into which the tions would enter without sentiment but which they would regard to their interests to keep.
 President Harding in submitting his dsarma- ment proposal submits at the time matters which the likely. if left unadjusted, to ate friction among the great powers. and their adjustment would depend the success of the dis armament proposal
 In the meantime all the powers involved in this proposition will forward with their naval programs all of them stpuendous than any preceding ones. While doubt all of them want to the end of war and hope that the likelihood Of will be di- unfinished as result of the presidents proposal none of them will assume that an agreement will be reached and there will be abandonment of pre- cautions until an agreement is in sight

Chero Colas.
A schedule calling for sixty games

necessary to cut the teams down on

pleased and that the best class of
ball ever seen in the city league will
be maintained.

That the Columbus Dispatch
covers every nook and corner of
our grand old Magnolia State
was fully shown by the number
of cars seen passing through
Caledonia on last Friday and Sat
urday from a distance going to
Columbus on the two big trade
days put on by the cnterprising
business men of that city. We
are proud to say that "Our" city
Is fast becoming one large trad
ing center for fifty miles around.
We were informed few days ago
by two popular citizens of Mon
roe county and one of them lived
in Aberdeen, that goods of all
kinds are cheaper in Columbus
than in Aberdeen. They stated
that oats were 1925 in Aberdeen
and $3.50 in Columbus on the
same day They also stated that
our business men were simply the
finest bunch of jolly good fell
lows that they ever met and that
alone goes long way in helping
to build us a great city and a
united community. The mer-
chants and business men of Co
lumbus are beginning to realize
and appreciate more and more
the advertising value of the Dis
patch as it covers the entire coun-
try. Its readers are found in the
four corners Of the earth and
goods bought in our beautiful
city can be found in homes over
a hundred miles away. Be
