received distinct benefits, while the United
States, disdaining to acquire territory, and too
far removed from European boundary lines to
be vitality interested in the partition of the con-
quered countries, received nothing in return
When England asks us to cancel the debt she
owes us she forgets that, by reason of this
money which we loaned her, she was able to wipe
out the German navy and to remove competitor
in the foreign trade.
In summarizing the benefits which Great
Britain received from the war, the Chicago Trib-
une says:
In return for the loans made by Great Britain and
the money spent by Great Britain the British empire has
been materially benefited The German navy. which was
regarded the greatest to the empire has
destroyed. The German merchant fleet, which re-
garded the greatest danger to British has
been destroyed Helgoland, which the danger
base off the British coast has been destroyed
German colonies in Africa which regarded as
most dangerous to the British African empire have
destroyed the territory added British empire.
British rule has been extended in Asia Minor in Pales
tine Mesopotamia Australasia has been given the
German islands which needed the protection of
Australia and New Zealand.
These material benefits some of which are al
inestimable in value Great Britain Great Brit
aims heavy expenditures have been compensated both by
release from military dangers, by the elimination of
competitor and colonization competitor by the
extension of domain.
IN return for American expenditure and loans there
has been return Not the protection which
traasia found in the transfer German islands

the equator, surrounding American possessions, were
given to Japan the possible enemy United
Great Britain never has been slow in pressing
her own claims, and if she can succeed in Undue
ing America to cancel the oans John Bull will
again feel that he has driven good bargain.
If England wants to get rid of these obliga-
tions, which were extended to her in an hour of
dire need, let her make an overture to the United
States in which she will indicate desire to give
the West Indies to the United States or to re-
linquish other territory which we can use for
strategic purposes. Why ask the United States
to continue policy of giving away money with
out getting dollar in return?
Americans are pretty well agreed that the
day of generous giving is over and that Great
Britain must pay in money or in concessions if
she wants to get rid of the loans which she has
made here.

Vote Next Tuesday

1t may be superfluous suggestion to remind
every voter to go to the polls next Tuesday to
register his choice in the municipal contest for
the interest which has been manifested in the
campaign will unquestionably assert itself in a
large vote
Some, however, need to be reminded of this
privilege. Participation in some of the elections
this year has not brought out very heavy vote,
many voters preferring to stay at home instead
of exercising their rights as citizens
Every man and woman should be interested
III the Forthcoming election, and demonstrate
that interest by voting. 1t i'll behooves citizen
to refrain from voting and later condemn the
choice of the men and women whose civic con-
seriousness prompted them to go to the polls to
help select the men who are to administer its
affairs during the next four years.
full participation of voters in the election
Tuesday will show that our interest in munich
pal affairs is vital one and that we are genu-
mely anxious to select the best men for the
place.

Cancelling the War Debts

Great Britain still is seeking to have the
United States cancel the debts which the allied
governments owe here, on the theory that this
IS the best means to restore general prosperity
and productivity. The British viewpoint was
presented to the Chicago Chamber of Commerce
by Reginald McKenna, former chancellor of the
British exchequer.
England believes that she was the only coun-
try damaged by the war, and that the United
States should assume the loans as our part of the
sacrifice, but she is strangely silent about the
material benefits which she has received from
the war. If England suffered, her empire also

Ripping RHYMES
THE STORM
BY Walt Mason

It is a dark and stormy night, the
winds around my dwelling roar, and,
as my trusty Tyre I smite, the rain is
beating at the door; the rain is pelting
at the door, and owing to that circum-
stance my nephew's head is passing
sore-the storm has kept him from a
dance. The storm began, a gentle
shower, from vagrant cloudbanks over
head; but it grows fiercer every hour,
and now its noise would wake the
dead; the tempest now might raise the
DEAD, and every minute swells its
power, and all my folks, are seeing
red and they are savage, mad and
dour. For all had dates they hate to
miss, the movie show or bridge, or
tea; and on beastly night like this
they can't go forth, the sights to see:
they can't go forth, the sights to see
when darting lightnings round them
hiss, and so they're sore, but as for me
stormy nights a time of bliss.
nave my good old easy chair, and story
DOCK that's full of snap, so let the
lightning rip and tear, and clouds un
load their store of sap; let clouds dis
charge their valued sap, and I'll be
happy in my lair, and read about the
hero chap who shows us how to do and
dare. A wild and stormy night TO,
mine, when I've a goodly book to
read, wherein the hero, brave and fine
pulls many a high and knightly deed:
wherein he does hte valiant deed, and
makes the robber chief resign, and
seeks the lady in her need. and dries
her eyes of flowing brine.

TUSCALOOSA SHIPS CARLOAD OF GOODS
 TO ORPHANS' HOME

Tuscaloosa, November 16.-(Spe- aI)-Under the leadership of Dr. l.. o. Dawson, pastor of the First Bap- tist church in this city, the people of the county have just shipped a carload of all sorts of good things to the Orphans home at Evergreen. The car contained corn. flour. meat
 syrup, canned goods. dry goods. shoes
 hay, sugar, rice, and many other things. The country people sent in many wagon loads and those in the city did a good part to match them. Dr. Dawson stated that the tempt ation was great to name some of the donators, but where many did SO well 1t was impossible. However, he knew what the orphans needed and announced from the pulpit these necessities, hence some good soul sent a new sewing machine; two others sent large steel cooking ranges, and someone gave fine Victrola which had never been uncrated by the deal CT. Records are needed for the latter machine, but with the request for these the pastor asked that no jazz" music be contributed, but only such music as would be suitable for the happiness and education of these more than 200 little children.
 Several different times before the 75-million campaign was made pr. l.. c. Dawson has taken the initiative and filled cars at this point for these orphans, and he does not expect this to have any bearing on the campaign
