Opportunity for Britain
TO SerUe Whole World

tive with autocracy. The democra-
cies of the world, the constitutional
monarchies as well, are crying for
relief from military expenditures. No
such cry arises from japan. Her
people are inarticulate, devoid OF
voice or power in the government.
Her rulers are land hungry and
yearning for world power. Demo-
cratic as are the British masses, the
existence of this treaty makes it pos
sible for them to be dragged again
into war by foreign military autoc-
racy.
1t is obvious that while this treaty
exists there can be no real basis for
the assertion that Great Britain de-
sires closer bonds of unity with the
United States than with any other
nation. While it exists suggestions
of mutual "naval holidays" or dis
armament agreements between the
two Anglo-Saxon nations are futile.
1t would be arrant folly for this
nation to enter into an agreement for
the limitation of naval ornaments
while the Asiatic Power at our Pa
cifc door is building dreadnoughts
and submarines and buying from
Great Britain aerial warcraft at war
time speed.
If, however, the British govern
ment is DESTROYS of maintaining its
entente with Japan, and at the same
time rendering to peace service in
place of threat, it might make the
rigid limitation of Japan's arma-
ment, afloat and ashore, condition
of the renewal of the treaty next
month.
Such action would unquestionably
be in accord with the wishes of
Americans, the needs of England and
the interests of Japan.

THIS WORLD is BAD.

the universe Is thousand times

4 thousand times less important than
heretofore supposed Besides all this
we are 800. 900. OOO. 0OO. 200. 900 miles

naturally browns all hopes we had
OF reaching the center with Ford
hivver.
1t took Doc Cook and his gum
drops three months to discover a
point 1.163 miles short of the North
Pole and Admiral Peary six months
to find the pole and discover that
Cook had not been there. SO how

COST OF A

A glance into old newspaper files
brings to light that in 1897 our army
had 2,179 officers and 1888 ~privates,
costing a shocking sum in those days.
There was much demand for economy.
1t cost $1,130 a year to maintain
an American soldier in 1897. The
cost now is about $3.50 a year.
So it goes. Each year it costs more
to build an Al battleship, an up-to-
date piece of artillery, etc. The cost
of preparedness ever rises, with no
end in sight. AS a straight business
proposition, disarmament is horse
sense. With science applied to war,
it is only a question of time until the
cost of ornaments would become pro-
hibitive.-New Orleans Daddy States.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1921-12-16
MRS. Ed PAYNE.

The Sentinel Office had the privilege
of enjoying the presence of Mrs. Ed
Payne for a short while on Tuesday
morning. 1t is a real soul refreshing
to converse with this good woman and
to know that there are still some who
cling to those ideals and to those
standards which have written south
ern womanhood high on that scroll
that will endure SO long as time shall
last and that will be garnered to the
skies in that triumphal day when the
thing of earth shall pass away.
While Grenada has many noble wo-
men who r endeav0ring to forward
the things of God as they understand
His purposes, this paper does not be-
lieve that the town has one more sim
cerely and more sacredly devoted to
Christian standards than Mrs. Ed
Payne. She has, and does yet, WELD
= most remarkable influence for good.
She has sown the seeds of righteous
ness in the lives Of many boys in
Grenada that are bearing fruit to-
day. She is gentle, .considerate, toll
Grant and kind, yet she new COM
promises with wrong o toys with
right. She is q beautiful example of
the womanhood of a few decades ago,
q womanhood that believed that wo-
man was sent as a sort of minister
ing angel and not ais a militant force.
She is of the type swho believes that
woman's greatest power is to be ex-
ercised in the home and al a factor
in shaping the lives Of the young
around the family fireside where life's
sweetest memories linger.
The Sentinel makes these observa-
tons about Mrs. Payne in the first
place because it believes them to be
true and for the further reason that
it believes that flowers to the living
shed their perfumes in a way that
gladden. more hearts than if given
after one falls upon sleep. And still
further, it helps to point the way to
the doubling and to the troubled soul
in these days of rush, struggle and
worry to know that there are still
many who stand four square on the
platform as laid down by the sermon
on the Mount and as taught by the
Savior of men.
The writer of these lines always
feels that he is in the presence of
princess when he converses with Mrs
Payne, and he believes that what he
writes here but reflects the verdict
Of the community.
