OUR DEAD IN FRANCE
BY DR. FRANK CRANE copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranep

Owen Mister and Thomas Nelson Page have both written protesting against the removal of the bodies of the dead American soldiers from the soil of France.
 MT. Page describes his visit to the cemeteries and battefelds and gives his strong impressions upon view ing those never to-be-forgotten fields.
 He says: We told the bodies were to be ex- humed Standing there it seemed incredible. It seemed degradation to dig them up. It would be impossible could those who loved them their last resting pac
 When General Lee was asked to lend his name to plan to the Confederate dead from Gettysburg he replied that he had always felt that the fttest rest ing place for soldier the field of honor which he had noby laid down his life. We knew as we stood there that he was right
 Owen Mister calls attention to the physical diff culties of removal The remains are often indistin- gushable, fragmentary. What is found in the grave cannot even be ebamed. It only be sprnkled with dsinfectant and shipped to Hoboken. He continues:
 Piles of these poor fragments of human beings lie at Hobokeh unclaimed. They have been dragged from the soil their sacrifice made sacred and where as an honored and caredfor company they lay in peace their graves tended, their memory historic and precious to are claimed and taken to some family graveyard will soon be forgotten Those who mourn them will be dead too Had they been left in France they would have been cherished as long France endures.
 "No mother could come to France and see where her boy lies and not be comfored and thankful he is there But exploiting mothers grief to put money Tn certain pockets goes on.
 'Three weeks ago saw our great cemetery at Ro- magne Its grass green, its crosses white Peace and beauty filled it. In md-May forty per cent. of those dead are to be dragged up and Romagne will look like an old mouth half teeth half gums.
 "Can nothing stop this hdeous mockery of the living and the dead?"
 It is always difficult to apply to sentiment, particularly if 1t has to do with our dead our tenderest and dearest treasure But 1t surely would In this instance that the sounder and beautiful sentiment is to leave fallen kinsmen where Roosevelt leff his

SKINNY ON YOUR OWN SIDE

Somebody ought to tell the press agent for certain of our rising young business men that a bookkeeper may progress to the position of auditor and max thereby be entitled to the name "business man." but the mere fact that he happens to have kept books in the business office of a newspaper man doesn't qualify him as a newspaper man" or a jour nalist.'
 A newspaper man is one who Is trained in the writing. gathering and editing of news in the editorial de partment of newspaper. Or he may be the editor or managing editor oi a newspaper A publisher is not nee essarily a newspaper man. A mar who writes advertising copy or soo- licits advertising in the advertising department of a newspaper is not g newspaper man. He is an advertis- ing man.
 The auditor in a newspaper office is as much entitled to the appella- ton .newspa per man as is tho pressman who runs the press. Anc we might add for the benefit of this press agent that a newspaper mar fights shy of the title Journalist.

but the driver started up just as he opened the door and all he could make out in the black shadows of the car was a still form which he took to be woman.
 The second narrator was Miss Mill ly Tanner who said that when he went back to bed and was about to fall into a troubled sleep he recalled that the form in the car was the dressmaker's form used by his former wife and so he fell into troubled sleep thinking about it.
 Other extracts from the story which the writer remembers are as follows:
 He tried to gnash his teeth but remembered that he had left them in "a glass
 "Frantically realizing that some thing was slipping, he turned to the strange fair young woman and cried, Have you safety pin?' Yes she replied. but I am using it.'

 in order to add thrills to the race. Some cars will be more than dilapis dated than others For instan e, t$ 6 lack of a tire ought to be wor s- handicap of a mile. Two cylinders missing should be worth two miles. No car will be allowed to enter with everything in working order.

 We invite our reader to keep his l eye on the Roundup for more com ! plete and vivid details of this race.

Propaqanda and the War

Iteis a sinful waste of time in which members of the representatives are indulgng in threshing old straw to ascertain how we got into war. That we got in with the approval of a majority of the American people is generally ad- mitted Whether got of it with as much glory as we should done is another matter con- corning which there is a divided sentiment.
 That both allies and the Germans spread thick layers of propaganda over this country we all know and knew it at the time. The Germans probably took the initiative. But they did not long precede the allies and both flooding the country with literature and emissaries.
 The Germans shortly serious disad- vantage since the naval supremacy of the allies left United States accessible to them, but there was a better. more compact though smaller organi- zation of Germans in the country
 All this time the propaganda of both sides put without restriction. It carried on openly and was violation of any of laws. There perhaps insdious propaganda, on both sides in an effort to influence action by government regardless of the people. No doubt large financial interests desired, for financial purposes that we engage in the war on of the allies there is not the slightest evidence that the government was ever swayed by these influences.
 The very reluctance with which finally went to war and the circumstances which forced into declaration precludes any suspicion of insidious influence.
 The country had renamed neutral through almost three trying years. The sympathy of the people was sharply divided There three parts, those of Americans generally who opposed to par ticfpation a in which had direct cern That constituted by far. the largest element. There was another large element which sympa- thetic with Germany for reasons: because Ger many did to go to but insisted on the preservation neutrality; because of ancient hos tility to the British.

 CORRESPONDEN

Tablerock, Ariz-Three- jolly car loads of jolly Phoenix folks with their wives and sweethearts came down the other evening and enjoyed a jolly picnic supper at the foot of the mountains.
 Arriving at the selected rendez- vous or meeting place the happy Phoenix folk parked their cars and immediately began preparations to revive the inner men (and women), with the women busily unpacking the baskets of goodies which each mem Der of the party had been thought fully requested to bring along, and many were the shouts of gladness and joy as each dainty package was united and the contents divulged to view. The men lost no time in gath ering from hither and yon on the desert the ingredients of a fire over which to cook the coffee and roast the wienees and marsh nellows and things, kindllng for the fire being prepared by one of the cleverer of the men yielding his jack knife on a board and producing a neat pile of shaVings
 Many were the cries of delight, particularly from the sterner sex of the jolly party, when it was finally announced that supper waS ready ' and all hands lost no time in fall l ing heartily on the dainty viands l spread out before them. A great deal 1 of fun was added to the party when it was ruled that each man should eat with a woman who was not his wife and great was the rush for the single girls in the crowd. of which there were two. During the meal l everybody declared he had never eaten such tasty viands, which was quite a tribute to the culinary ef- forts of the womenfolk, to which the writer can testify, as he was invited
 to join in, which he did with avid ness.
