FRANCE REGRETS L. :.
REJECTED DEFENSIVE PACT

Paris. August 26-Regret that

American peace treaty at Berlin yes
terday.
We understand that American in
terests are SO remote from ours, said
the Echo de Paris, and that the atti-
tude OF the United States government
in making a seperate peace IS justifi-
able. We count more on the friendship
between the two republics than on
treaties and protocols for the assur-
ance of harmony between them. This
grows stronger daily. and
we must understand that the treaty
with Germany does not mar the close
relations between France and the

whether the proclamation might be

Another question which remained
unanswered from any authoritative
source related to the probable dura iion
of the American occupation of Ger
man territory. No direct mention is
made in the treaty of the withdrawal
Of American troops from the Rhine,
though there is a re-aftirmation of the
section of the Versailles treaty which
permits the recent enemies OF Germany
TO maintain forces on her border at
her expense during the period allowed
for payment of roparations.
No Censure For Kaiser.
The text of the new treaty. made
public last night at the State Depart
ment, defines with unusual brevity the
responsibility of Germany and the
rights OF the United States growing
out of the war. The title of the United
States to benefits described In detail
in ten of the fifteen sections of the
treaty of the Versailles are reafiirmed.
Il is stated that this government shall
not be bound by four of the fifteer,
sections. and one section, that ar
raignning Emperor Wilhelm and de-
manding trial of Siolaters OF the laws
of war. is not mentioned at all.
Neither is there a specific provision
holding Germany responsible for the
war. but such a responsibility is inn
Tlied by the reafiirmation of the rep
arations section, in whose opening
clause Germany accepts responsibility
"for causing all the loss and damage
resulting from the war.
While claiming all the privileges of
the reparations section rs agreed To
at Versailles. the United States speci-
fies in the new treaty that she is no;
bound to participate" I'm the repara-
ton commission unless she shall elect
tu do so. The same provision Is made
regarding all other international COM
missions created under the Versailles
treaty.
New German Boundaries.
The treaty text of about 1900 words
is largely devoted 10 a repetition OF
the peace resolution, all OF whose
manifold provisions for preservation
of American privileges as recognized
at Versailles and for retention OF
seized German property, are confirmed
by Germany. A more specific recogni-
ton of all the benefits of the Yer
sailles treaty follows and then the docu-
ment makes stipulations as 10 mill
tary. naval and air possessions. eco-
nomic re-arrangements and laying
down new boundaries Of Germany.

How many people are there in town
who never read the classified ads2
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-07-12

That American citizens qualified
to- vote who do not register and
vote are slackers and should be
treated as such, is the theme of
letter recently sent to New York
newspaper. 1t seems to us that this
contributor, who signs himself Will
bur Wakeman, has hold of very
good idea. He suggests several rem
edies to force citizens to vote; fines,
for instance, and the imposition Of
jury duty upon those who have not
fulfilled their duties at the polls. But
more powerful still is the force of
public opinion and in merely hitting
on the term Stacker for the men and
women who do not vote this man
has found more effective remedy
than any he prescribes.
The person who can vote, but
doesn't take enough interest in his
country to do so is a slacker-just
as much Stacker as the man who
tried to escape service in the war.
At all times our nation needs our
service. In his recent book, "Mod-
ern Democracies," Viscount Bryce
writes; "No government demands so
much from the citizen as. democracy
and none gives so much back" The
first thing that is demanded of us is
the easy service Of voting. The per-
son who fails to perform that is not
likely to do much else for thecoun-
try. He is a Stacker and should
be looked upon with the same con-
tempt that we give to the tribe in
wartime-Ohio State ournal.

his cows and cream separator. He
never missed his regular bank de-

Harm is Seen in
Too Many Laws

Changes in the method of proce-

recommended by the Law Reform
Committee of the Kentucky Bar As

which convened in Ashland last
week.
A plea for the right of the people
generally to ennjoy in decent way

the declaration that attempts of GER

regulate law-making bodies, is do

pie were made in an address by
Judge John D. Carroll, former Chief
Justice of the Kentucky Court of
Appeals, and editor of the Ken
lucky Statutes.
"The word liberty" Judge Carroll
said, "means in a general way free
dom Of speech and action within
lawful limits and covers every ac-
tivity of life.
'While there have been great out
breaks of lawlessness, the majority
of the people of the state believe
that every citizen has a right to live

lating one of them.
~ should say their only safety
lay in the fact that many of these
silly laws fall into disrespect and

Referring to the attempts to re-

''There has come up in the states
as well as the nation in recent years,

Italian Cabinet
Quits as Vote of
Confidence Lost
Expression Follows Heated
Debate During Which Gov.
ernment's Foreign Policy
Is Bitterly Attacked.

Rome, June 27.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-The cabinet today
decided to resign as a result yester-
day in the Chamber of Deputies on
the question of confidence in the
government which was regarded as
unfavorable.
The expression from the chamber
followed debate on the reply to the
speech from the throne in which the
governments foreign policy was at
tackled in some sections and as
warmly defeated in others.
The vote was 234 to 200 in favor
of the government, but the cabinet
considered the majority too small to
justify continuance in power.
The chief opposition was ex-
pressed against the Jugo-Slav treaty
of Rapallo
Deputy Turati, the socialist lead
er, moved the resolution on which
the chamber voted.
1t read:
"The chamber affirming itself fiat
ly opposed to the governments atti-
tude' and action, in foreign as we'll
as internal, economic and social pol
icy, passed to the order ct the day
Premier Giolitti stated that the gov
ernment regarded the motion as a
matter of confidence. That part Of
it affecting the governments foreign
policy was defeated by a vote of 234
to 200. The remainder of the reso-
luton was thrown out by a big ma
iority
