How would our Yankee palates be tickled by
such delcacy?,..
And suppose that this news dispatch came only a
few days after the following
London, March l7.-Turning their annual pa
triotc celebration into a mammoth demonstration
Of fealty for the Republic of Ireland" and bitter
ness toward the United States, thousands of Lon
dons Filipinos marched up Piccadilly in a three
hour parade.
They were watch by tens of thousands along more
than seventy blocks of the line of march.
Veterans of the Asiatic royal guards known as
THE Fighting Fiipinos' marching in their service
uniforms and carrying rifles held the place of honor.
Some of the most singing sentiments against the
United States carried by womens organza-
tions.
one poster read:
America Damn Your Concessions--we want our
country" and another described american civiza-
ton in the twentieth century the torch, the bri
let and the scaffold."
I'VE want Yankee caste in Great Britain" de-
cared another. Behind 1t statement that "a
true Briton is a true Filipino"
These supposititious dispatches are not the va
carries of an editorial Imagination. They are the
faithful transcript of stories actually carried
by The Associated Press, with the substitution of
Filipino" for Irish" London" for New York "
America" for England" and q few similar teXtual
changes The spirit of the dispatches is unatered.
How would like to have our national dignity
kicked around in London's most fashionable street,
without single protest disavowal from any Of
fical of the British government?
Would we not be inclined to believe that the court
Of st. James was secretly aiding and abetting the
agitation against us?
Could the Brtish-our former allies-be blamed
if they placed similar Interpretation upon the
shameful demonstrations that have taken place in
this country in recent days?

Editor Morning Journal:
Il have read, de
gested and appreciated your edi-
torials on the disabled veterans.
Being a disabled soldier myself
feel deeply gratified.
1t is a grevlous fact that 10000
men, disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines, are now in the states of
New Mexico, Arizona and Califor-
MIA seeking with the small frag-
ment of hope and faith they yet
retain health and a restoration to
their former status Of self-sup-
porting, honorable American citi-
zens.
More greWous to relate, these
men are without proper homes,
lack the necessary nourishment to
rebuild them; must because of
their financial condition, forego
the moral and social support of a
people who too easily forget,
1t is not good for America to
have these men sleep on 20-eent
cots; to lounge sick and discour-
aged in cheap, dirty lodging
houses; to meet with the illiterate
and degenerate men who frequent
these places. 1t breeds I. w. W.ism
and bolshevism; and these men are
in a receptive frame of mind.

A GRAND OLD MAN,

Eighty years old-and planning trip to Austria
liza.
That is Georges Clemenceau, premier of France
during the trying days of the war, when the long
range German cannon in the Forest of st. Gobain
dropped shells upon Paris.
The Tiger returned Monday from six months
trip to India ready for another long voyage
he Visits his native home in western France in
the department of Vendee where he expects to cee-
brate his birthday
France lives; everywhere have experienced it "
This was the only interview he gave the CORE
spondents that met him at the gang plank on the
wharf at Toulon. For Clemenceau is a diplomat of
the old school; his country comes first and the
rest of the world afterward There is nothing of the
internationalist in lie Tigre"
And the rest of the world admires and respects
him all the more for it.

TRADING WITH ROBBERS.

Difference Of opinion to the advisability OF
Americas dealing with soviet Russia exists between
Senator France, Of Maryland and Secretary of Com.
merce Hoover. 4H e"
The senator declares that Immediate recog.
milton Of the soviet government of Russia by the
United States has become imperative the result
the British Russian commercial treaty"
Secretary Hoover is of the opinion that trade
with Russia is more political than an economic
question long Russia is controlled by the Boil
sheviki"
Elaboratng on his views, Secretary Hoover says:
The whole question, from trade point of
view, develops into furnishing commodities
equal to the gold, platinum and iewelry various
ly estimated from $4,000 900 to 5000 900 900
in the hands Of the Bolshevik gofernment, and
after that has been expended there can be lit
tie expectation of continued trade.
Europe cannot recover its economic sta
bility until Russia returns to production Trading
for this parcel OF gold would not effect this
remedy--nor would the goods obtained by the
Bolsheyiki in return for it restore their produc-
ton That requires the abandonment of their
present economic system"
The fallacy of Senator Frances statement in
our opinion lies in the assumption that Great Brit
aims foreign policy should be ours.
The recognition Of soviet Russia even from a
trade point of view, by Great Britain is strictly
British matter 1t is not our place to comment on
the foreign policy Of any other nation
But the people of the United States ought to
have something to say about Americas foreign pol
ICY And. If we read the temper of the American
people Alright, they are against recognition of the
Lenine- Trotzky gang in any form whatsoever
There mayor there may not--be a trade ad-
vantage in such recognition at this time: but shall
we sell our brthrisht for mess of Bolshe5ik pot
tage?

AS the People Vieuu IT.

1t makes crooks of men who
made a record for American arms
that will go down in history as a
glorious achievement, who came
back cripples and consumptives to
Ia government who gave them its
blessing, $50 bonus and a 25-cent
medal
A few short years ago they were
heroes. were sent to France with
splendid bodies and normal RAJ
tional minds, with the blessing and
heartfelt wishes of an entire ma
tion. ......
Today they are looked upon as
objects of pity by some and scorn-
ed by others. In their helplessness
and misery they do not under
stand, cannot comprehend, this
sudden change.
They are just boys grown tall,
who have been hurt physically and
more mentally by this neglect Of
their people.
A combined effort on the part
of these disabled mems club and
other organizations has been START
ed to unravel this red tape. .
My dear sir, it is ludicrous, dis
gustingly funny-the excuse most
people make for not helping these
men. The common excuse is the
present economic depression.
| would like to ask what the
comparison is to this so-called eco
monte depression (Which is only
after all the industrial reaction
caused by profiteers who upset the
industrial market by their greed)
what the comparison is to the
sick bodies and depressed minds
of their fighting men who sleep in
parks, because the jails are too full
to afford them shelter; who are
too i'll to secure work; who are
picked up for vagrancy, while the
government in Washington con-
tinues in a maze of red tape?
| wish to add in conclusion that
the greatest mistake the American
people can make is to ignore the
disabled eX-service men. A sick
body, Respondent mind; hunger
and privation for men who gave
the best they had, are bound to
cause some reaction.

so much like snow, that it would I t
be wise for you to go to the NOV
les" said Uncle Wiggily, putting
his tall silk hat on the clock she'll.
But perhaps | can show you some
new games with your blocks, Baby
Bunty"
"I don't believe you can, but It is
very nice of you to offer" the little
rabbit girl said, remembering her
Sunday manners.
Uncle Wiggily sat down on the
| floor, and began to pile up Buntys
| blocks. He put tan one on a short
| one and a fat one under a thin one,
! the blocks being of different sizes,
and soon Baby Bunty clapped her
| paws.
why, you've made a little trolley
| carl" she cried in delight. Il didn't
| know my blocks would make that!'
IT'S all in the way you pile them
up" said the bunny gentleman.
iThen he made pretended automo-
bile a little fire engine and somo-
thing like a merry go round.
ooh, this is fun" cried Baby
| Bunty. May knock them over,
! Uncle Wiggily|" ....
yes" said the bunny. And
then see what you can build of your
! blocks" Half the fun of playing
with blocks is to knock over the
things you build after you finish
and want something new, and Baby
Bunty had this fun. Then she be-
! gan to build up something very
| large and strange.
What are you making, Baby
Bunty?" asked Uncle Wiggily, for
he couldn't tell what Bunty was
| doing.
| Hush" whispered the little
rabbit girl "I'm making a surprise
castle, where a pretend giant lives
| Come over here with mel"
7 Uncle Wiggily crawled over the
| floor close to Baby Bunty, and the
| little rabbit girl piled up the blocks
so they looked like a castle, with
| towers, minarets, balconies ana
everything else. The front of tn,
castle was SO big and tall that I'm
Gle Wiggily and Baby Bunty coui.
hide behind it, and while they were
thus hidden, all of sudden, IL
came the Fuzzy Fox. Uncle Wiggitl
had forgotten and LETT the dOol
open for the bad chap. ....
/ II want to nibble some rabbi
ears!" growled the fox, as III
glared at Uncle Wiggily and Bah.
Bunty through the windows of tht
block castle. "Bur-r-r-r! l wan
ears"
ooh, do you? Well, take that!'
cried Baby Bunty, and with he
foot she gave the blocks a sudden
shove, and down fell the castle
towers, balconies, minarets, wall!
and everything else right on thu
bad fox!
"Oh, wow" he screeched :"
didn't think a castle would fall OF
me! This is no place for mel" AND
away he ran. And how Baby Bunt'
laughed! She wasn't a bit peevisf
any more.
So If the sunshine doesn't tickle
the wax doll on her nose and MAKE
her sneeze her eyes shut, I'll tel
you next about Uncle Wiggily anC

An old stain Is always a hard one
to remove. Fruit stains are especial
ly hard to get out if left in a dress
for any length of time; oXalic acid
Ca poison so take care in using it,
may remove the stain, however.
OXalic acid is bought in crystalline
form and the housekeeper should
combine one teaspoon of these
oXalic acid crystals with one cup
of boiling water, then dip the
stained part of the garment in this.
The strength of this solution may
be increased if the stain is obsti-
nate. When the stain is out, rinse in
ammonia water, then in clear
water. Iron-rust stains, ink stains,
and mildew stains will also often
yield to oxalic acid, used in this
way--if they are not too old. 1t is
worth trying, anyway.
Old grass stains may be removed
by dipping the stained part in
chloride Of lime water. Pour one
half Of gallon of boiling water upon
one-haIf pound of dry chloride;
stir well, let settle, pour off the
clear water, and use. (Do this in
wood or earthenware, as metal will
corrode from the miXing.) After
dipping the grass-stained garment,
hang it near hot fire to dry. Bot
tie the remainder of solution for
future use.
Old paint stains should be soften
ed with grease (cotton-s seed oil or
lard are both good to use) before
solvent is applied to them. Ben
zine, ,naphtha, chloroform or tur-
pentine will remove the stain when
soft. Benzine and chloroform are es-
peCially good for colored and deli
cate fabrics. Take care in using
these things. for they are inflam-
mable it is best to do the work out
of doors Pitch, tar and wagon
grease stains should also be soften
ed with grease, and can then be
removed with turpentine. Turpen-
tine unless pure, may leave a resin
Gus residue-but this can be dis
solved in alcohol.

THE THRIFTY HOUSEKEEP-

The great war taught women to
renoyate their old clothes and
make them go" instead of buying
new And the thrifty woman is still

The housekeeper is luckies in this
respect than her sister, the business
woman. For the housekeeper is
sheltered in her home and can wear
her old or made-oVer garments,
whereas the business woman is eX-
posed to the eyes of a critical world
and cannot appear shabby.
