It's You

If you want to have the kind of home
town
Like the kind of town you like.
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike;
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there nothing that really new;
It's knock at yourself when you knock
your town;
1t isn't the town-it's you.
You wouldn't expect, if you mined your
soil.
Bumper crops that you used to get;
Nor aught but runts, from feeding that
stunts;
Nor payment without debt.
One gets returns from what he earns
Something must first be due.
If your town doesn't pay, look at it
this way:
1t isn't the toWn-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
That others will get ahead.
When every one works and nobody
shirks.
You can raise town from the dead,
And If, while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want it to be
1t isn't the toWn-it's YOU.

FEAR FOR U. s. RIGHTS
Would Jeopardize Obliga-
tions Due America if Sol
diers Leave, Is Contention.
HARDING is QUERIED
Insist 1t Would Be Act of War
to Keep Them After Reso-
luton Passes.

Special Despatch 10 The Nrw Voc. Hnsstp.
New York Hers,a Hsreaa.
Washington. d. g., April 60.
Democratic leaders or the House to-
day decided to oppose the early with
drawal of American troops from Ger
many Their opposition TO the Knox
peace resolution when it reaches the
House will be based on the grounds
that it will force immediate withdrawal
of these forces and that ii might
jeopardize obligations due to the
United States from Germany and
weaken the Allies in their efforts to
compel observance Of the treaty, 1t
was indicated by Acting Democratic
Leader Garrett.
The question of the Army of Occu-
patton came up during debate on the
army appropriation bill when Repre-
sentative Anthony (Kan.) in charge of
the measure declared 1t was framed on
the supposition that the troops would
be out Of Germany in the near future.
He asserted that the appropriations in
the bill are 60 small that the Secretary
Of War will be forced to order the re-
turn Of the troops, he said.
Following the debate Mr. Garrett. in
troduced a resolution calling on Presi-
dent Harding. 'if not Incompatible with
public interest" to inform the House
whether 1t is his intention to withdraw
the troops from Germany upon the pas
sage Of the Knox resolution. Mr.. Garrett
directed crossf1re Of questions at Re-
publican leaders as to what the Admins
tration intended to do
Representative Anthony left the infer
ence that the troops will be withdrawn
early. Representative Fess (Ohio) said
they might be kept there to force Ger
many to recognize the Knox peace dec
Iaration. Mr.. Garrett also sought to
show that nothing would be accom-
plished by passage or the Knox resolu-
ton. since all the war laws have been
repealed.
II do not believe 1t is safe for the
United States in the near future to with
draw those troops from Germany" said
Mr. Garrett. "If we make peace by
resolution we are bound to withdraw
these tToops from Germany BY this
resolution we wipe out everything. and.
while we reserve out rights, fail to see
how we can enforce them unless we keep
our troops there.
II do not believe we should make
peace except by treaty. but IL 1t Is done
by resolution and a state of peace is de-
clared 1t would be an act of war to keep
the Army of Occupation there. 1t may
be desirable to make a separate peace,
but / want to emphasize that in good
faith we must withdraw the troops and
then Germany could easily refuse to
enter into any treaty which would Inn
pose obligations on her caused by the
protection of our rights"
Regarding the troops Mr.. Anthony
said "If the Secretary Of War admin
listers this bill as II Is now written ne
will be forced to withdraw the troops
from Germany and decrease other forces
outside the territorial limits of the
United states"
Representative Fish On. W declared
the troops should be withdrawn to re-
lieve the burden on the American tax
payers.

COAL STRIKE DEADLOCK
STIRS BRITISH PUBLIC
Cabinet Orders NeW CurfeU
on Light and Heat.

LONDON. April 39.-The deadlock be-
tween the coal mine owners and the
miners over the rates of wages on one
hand and the demand of the men for q
national scale of wages based on pool
may continue another month.
A member OF the committee of mine
owners to-day said: Our only course
now is to fight to exhaustion. We can
not do more than we have done"
The negotiations are at an end" an
nounced Sir Robert Horne In the House
of Commons. We can only hope tina.
the stoppage, which IL now disclosed to
be for political object, may soon be
terminated"
There were cries Of Nonsense !" from
representatives of the miners.
The demand for settlement of the
dispute is spreading. The public, seeing
the theatres darkened, the railways and
street cars running on skeietonized
schedules, with the service to be cut still
further, and the lighting services re-
duced to the minimum, Is becoming
appreh ensive. 49,
The Cabinet held special emergency
meeting last night. and among the new
orders is a curfew compelling lighting
and heating companies to withdraw sup
plies at a fixed hour each night. The
Government Is said to be contemplating
the extension of, daylight saving by one
hour.

capacity would fall through the closing
down Of her factories.
1.-The consequences which the German
business men foresee as resulting from
the new customs barrier and the appli-
cation Of other sanctions Is the paralyz-
Ing of considerable part of the Ger
man industries. This will bring with 1t
rise In prices, together with unemploy-
ment, which will be disastrous to the
German people"
Herr Kraemer produced telegram
from the Ruhr mine workers demanding
higher wages and shorter hours and
threatening to strike unless their de-
mands were met. He predicted that the
increase in labor troubles would be fur
ther accentuated by the Communists.
THE New York HERALD correspond
ent has been informed in allied circles
that the expected occupation of the
Ruhr region does not involve heavy oc-
cupation with troops, but merely light
military customs screen at the frontier,
leaving the inner economic life of the
Geramns otherwise untouched. No Ger
man resistance anywhere is expected.
The trade unions have made recommen-
iations against a general strike and
manufacturers propose reducing the
economic disturbance to a minimum.
