WHAT THEY SAY
By BILL THOMPSON


 The question was: Do you think the American army on the Rhine in Germany at the present time should take part in the advance into Ger many with the rest of the allied troops?
 Where asked: In front of the Strand theatre on Second avenue:
 The answers were:
 Hollis Hart, 1426 Cotton avenue, West End: '.The stand the Harding administration has taken in regard to the European situation has left every one in the United States as well as of our allies in the dark as to just what the course of this country will be. We helped our allies whip Ger many and now we seem to be back ing out in trying to help make her pay for the destruction she caused. The United States troops in Ger many should advance with the rest.
 J. c. Harper, Princess theatre: T do not think our boys in the Ameri- can army in Germany should be made to advance with the rest of the allied troops England and France are try ing to force Germany to agree to their terms for reasons which alone will benefit them. Germany should pay, but it's not the duty of this country to force her to do it"
 Henry Wells, Tenth avenue and Twenty-sixth street. north: "The United States won the war, but the war was stopped before any part Of Germany was destroyed by the ad- vancing armies. Therefore l think that now if Germany refuses to pay and meet the allied terms, large enough army should push forward into Germany and give her a sample of the hell she brought to some of the other nations

Earl Alexander, 16 year old son Of
Mr.. George Alexander, this place, had
his hopes of making the high schoo!
soccer team crushed last Thursday af-
ternoon. He, along with the Other
boys, was on the field practicing. In
one of the many mix-ups that occur
during the game, he kicked at the
ball and missed, his right leg striking
Horace Late. The force of the blow
was so great as to cause his leg to
break between the knee and ankle,
DIR. E. C. Kefauver rendered Surgical
aid. An X-ray examination showed
that both bones in his leg were bro
ken off cleanly, making it extremely
difficult to hold the broken parts in
position. He will be disabled fol
some time.
