BY ANDRE TARDIEU.
Former French High COmmissiOner TO
America.

BY Cable to The Star.
PARIS, November 26.-American news
paper comments cabled here indicate
that America understands France
situation most unanimously. All OF the
facts stated in Premier Brands speech
must have been long familiar to Ameri-
cans. Nevertheless. it Is good to nave
a complete official resume presented to
the American public.
But no speech can solve the problems
inherent in the very facts Of the situ-
ation Thus far, therefore, the political
problems remain untouched. 1t appears
that the United States government did
not intend to discuss land armaments
at this time, but that the French pre-
mier himself requested the opportunity
to explain his viewpoint before sailing
again for France, and that the request
was courteously granted.
But 30 far as a solution is concerned,
such a procedure could lead nowhere.
Therefore last Mondays session. despite
the eloquence expended and despite the
warm sympathy expressed with the
French viewpoint, has an academic
character which disappoints the hopes
of deficiency" with which until now
Newspapers keep repeating the phrase
"Briand pleaded the French cause
Some even speak of his seeking "ver-

Frenchmen. There is similar astonish-
ment at NJ. Balfour's allusion to French

bodys verdict. Nor does she feel the
need of somebody to plead" for her.
To imagine US in that frame of
mind is an error. which may lead to
misunderstanding. The true Situa-
tion is much simpler.
AS for security, France agreed at
Versailles to limit the occupation of
the left bank of the Rhine to fifteen
years il granted sufficient guarantees
against German aggression. These
guarantees were contained in two
special treaties with America and
England-treaties not solicited by
France but offered by our allies and
associates in the war. Since the
treaties have not been ratified. these
guarantees do not exist. Therefore.
France has a sovereign right to en-
ploy those guarantees existing in the

MOONSHINERS SHOULD
BE CAREFUL

A moonshine outfit was brought
into Pineville Sunday from Straight
Creek. A gasoline tank, an ice
cream freezer and a thump keg were
part of the swag. Since human in
genuity is ever turning toward some
means and ways to make the subtle
moonshine. it might be well for the
Barbourville Supply Company to
keep a strict eye on the Advocate

their yards. II contains a fine as
sortment OF iron that no prohibition
officer will be willing to lug into
town, since It takes the perspiring
effort OF half a dozen men to move
the various parts. Not being ex-
perts on stills. we do not know what
part might be best used. but the old
ink fountain still has considerable
of fine coloring matter attached to
1t. Moonshiners should really be
more careful OF the utensils they
use. They may injure the health Of
their patrons II they are not careful
and an ancient and honorable pro-
fession become one OF disrepute.

unfortunately, much actual starva-

of greetings and other methods o.
showing rejoicing over the birth of
the Babe of Bethlehem. There will
be also many to whom Christmas
will be an excuse for a debauch.

creation. In Him lies the hope OF

carried the torch OF Righteousness
thru the world for centuries. In
His name they have cared for the

life has become the pattern On
which the best and noblest lives

When. on the quiet pasture, of
Bethlehem, the angel host sang the

the same message was given to the
wise men and when the host Of
heaven sang its song OF triumph

When we celebrate Christmas do
not let the material values. the Civ

the good food, hide from us those
spiritual values which mean so
much. the realization that the Great

from treading in the footsteps Of
Him who was perfect God and per-

While he and Prof. r. A. Burnett

Laurel County, the quick eye of the
sheriff spotted smoke on the hori-
zon to the west of the road.

doing" he remarked to Prof. Bur-
nett. They went and found a per-
fectly good still in operation, but
also saw two men, alleged to be
Matt Bodkins and Tete Jones. beat
ing it for dear life The two sheriffs
fired after them but they got away.
The still was cut to pieces.
Under the mistaken notion that
Tom Sasser had been the little bird
that had whispered into the ear OF
the sheriff, it is alleged they fired
into the Sasser home out of revenge,
again mistaken. since Sasser was
not the informant, the moonshiners
themselves telling the tale by their
smoke.
The next morning Mr.. Sasser
came to town and swore out war
rants for the two men. Deputy
Sheriff J. II. Jones went out Friday
and searched the Jones and Bodkin
houses but was informed the parties
wanted had departed for Laurel
/ County. Next morning Deputy Sher-
in Jones went into Laurel County
and procured the help OF Deputy
Sheriff Beet and another. On the
way back to Knox County and about
/ 100 yards from the Knox line. they
saw BOdkins coming down a long
/ point of the ridge. He would have
run into the sheriffs but was warn

proceeded down the line of Sled
Road Branch where number OF
men tried to Overawe them into Civ
ing mp the overcOat. The sheriffs
refused and when the men became
truculent they were invited to shoot
it out and they backed down.
At the Tete Jones house they
found Charlie Jones and a man
named Wagner who were arrested
The opening trial was set for Tues
day at Circuit Court.
When Sheriff Walker aud Deputy
Burnett were in this neighborhood
Tuesday they went TO the home of
Jim Blantop for whom they had q
warrant OF arrest for shooting at
another man. He ran 390 to 400
yards and escaped fourteen shots
being fred after him from 45 and
u high power rife. One OF the shots
glanced across HIS head and knock
cd him down. The only thing that
saVsd him was that the Sherin's gun

BARBOURVILLE A HEALTH
RESORT
Dishman Springs to be Developed

Dishman Springs to be Developed
Dishman Springs, a short distance
outside OF Barbourville. is to be-
come health resort. A fourteen
room hotel is to be built after the
holidays which will have all the con
veniences Of a summer resort and OF
the more modern hotels. There will
also be three cottages. a golf course.
lake bathing, boating. fishing and
tennis courts. The hotel. which will
have a dancing floor. will be lighted
with electricity and will have a bus
connection with Barbourville.
The real objective will be the
development OF the mineral waters
which will prove beneficial for many
people IL made more accessible and
the comfortable accommodations OF
the hotel and cottages will bring this
about.
This hotel will be opened to the
public about May 1st. 1922
The possibilities in this movement
for the people of Barbourville are
great. For the physicians it should
prove a large increase in the prar-
tice OF their profession.
