SEPARATE PEACE OR -!

As the editorial of the day" APP
page of todays issue Of The Ardmor-
elite is an editorial taken from
the Dallas News, which touches with
firm and fearless hand upon Mr..
Harding's statement made during the
late campaign, that one of the first
things he would do, should he be
elected president, would be to make
peace with Germany.
As shown in the Newsf article that
which might have been expected, not
as an unforeseen happening, but as
a necessary event has come to pass,
Germany, following along the lines
Of inconsistency which has marked
all diplomatic policies of that nation
for the past several centuries, has
basely and brazenly sought to repu-
date its agreement entered into at
the treaty OF Versailles, when Ame-
rican soldiers were yet modified along
the German frontier and before the
! thunders OF the victors' cannon had
ceased to reverberate as they threat
ened the same destruction to German
properties and German homes as the
destruction which German conquer
| ing hordes had visited upon lands in
Naded by them.
Today the peace treaty is in immi'
nent danger Of being cast aside and
while France, England and Belgium
are growing at the heels of the nation
which shamelessly seeks TO repu
date its agreements, the United States

the American congress is. under the

depths OF international relations, W.

WIFE AGAIN BRINGS
SUIT FOR DIVORCE:
MARRIED 20 YEARS

A petition for divorce has recently
been filed in the district court which
reads like a letter to the editor of
a love-lorn column. The petition has
been filed by Edna Hagle against
Tom Hagle. In it, the plaintiff states
that their voyage on the sea Of mat
rimony has been turbulent one,
and the ship has frequently had very
rough sailing, and at times has been
nearing the brink of destruction" "
From the date of their marriage,
which occurred on November nth,
1900, more than % years ago. alleges
the plaintiff, the defendant has been
cruel to her. On a number of occa-
sons she states they had separated.
Plaintiff further alleges that twice
prior to the filing of this suit, she
has filed two suits for divorce against
the defendant, but that on each oc-
casion of the filing Of the suits, as
well as at other times when she was
compelled to. separate from him, the
defendant came TO the plaintiff with
tears in his eyes. humbly seeking her
pardon for the wrongs he had done
towards her. and seeking to restore
coniugal relations of husband and
wife, and on each such instance faith
fully pledging to lead a different life'
and refrain from mistreating the
plaintiff and their children, and to
be kind and affectionate husband
to the plaintiff, and kind and af-
fectionate father TO the children The
plaintiff alleges that she was over
pursuaded by the defendants plead
ings, and that the defendant always
repudated and preached the terms oi
the agreement, and if there was any
difference in treatment towards the
plaintiff and the children, the defend
ant was more cruel
Plaintiff further alleges that during
January, 1921, while the plaintiff had
a suit filed for divorce, the defendant
made threats against the life OF the
plaintiff, after he had faithfully
promised to behave. The PLAINTIFF al

Editorial
of the Day
STOPPED BY AN UNFORESEEN
FACT

When Mr.. Harding said, as he did
frequently during the campaign, that
one of his first acts would be, if he
were elected, TO make peace with
Germany, he assumed that the rep
arations negotiations would be brought
to a successful conclusion by the time
he should enter the White House, if
elected That assumption has been fall
sifled. Instead Of having been brought
to successful conclusion, the repar-
atoms negotiations have been wrought
into a situation that is confusing and
threatening. 1t would make them still
more confusing and threatening if the
United States should now do what
Mr.. Harding said he would have it
promptly do on entering the White
House. From proposal to make peace
Germany would infer that the United
States dissented from the demands that
have been made on it by the allied
governments. And so would they; with
the results that we should incur their
resentment, and encourage the Ger
man people to persist in their rejec-
tion of the demands that have been
made on them. There are both
moral and material considerations
which warn us against incurring those
consequences. In thus departing from
course which he surveyed for him
self while a candidate, Mr.. Harding
shows that he has the good sense and
the courage needed to repudiate q
promise made on an assumption which
events have falsified. The only fault
that may be imputed to Mr.. Harding
in relation to this matter, is that of
having spoken somewhat rashly under
the Indictment of campaign exigencies,
but since that is common, If not a
universal fault, the penalty which at
taches TO it is very light one,
Mr.. Harding doer better to repudiate
the purpose he then declared than
he would do by adhering to It.
But whether this passive attitude
which Mr.. Harding assumes toward
the crisis in the negotiations be-
tween the allied and German govern
ments is wise and righteous one
presents quite another question. That
he is right in not wishing TO appear
partisan of Germany in this con-
troversy IL undeniable. That he is
right in refusing TO appear a partisan
Of the allied governments is at least
debatable. But even those who thinl;
he is right must concede that this

that the allied governments could b,

ALL LIFE INSURANCE
RECORDS BROKEN
The Metropolitan Had Its Greatest
Year in 1920 and Leads the World
in Assets, in New Business, and
in Amount of Outstanding
Insurance

The annual report of the Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company on the
business of 1920 shows that the new
business placed ON the books broke
all previous records i'm the world.
Neither the great amount of new in
surance taken out, nor the percentage
Of lapSes indicated depression in the
business or industrial world. The
amount placed in the United States
and Canada was s1,651 950,l5 which
is a gain of more than two hundred
and fifty million dollars, as compared
with the previous year.
The income and assets increased
proportionately, the income for the
year being S263, ,5l9, ,779, and the assets
making gain of sll6,O19, ,262 for a
total of $3.50 9lSOS7. Dividends have
been declared, payable TO policy-hold-
ers in 1921, amounting To SlO,Sl9,36s'
of which $6,961, POI is to holders of In
dustrial policies.
The number Of policies outstanding
at the end of the year was 23,SSs,9s7
or about one for every five Of the pop
ulation. The number increased in
1920 by 2,l29,Ss6
Claims were paid on $40, $50 policies,
an average Of one every 2S seconds
for each business day of eight hours.
The amount paid to policy-holders in
claims, matured endowments, dividends
etc, was sS1 ,257, 1893, or an average OF
$556S6 a minute for every business
day of eight hours Group insurance
amounted to s214,547,572.
The company had invested at the
end of the year in bonds and mort
cages. 1857 7,703,045. In 1920 the Com
pany loaned and agreed TO loan $751;
600 900, mostly for housing.
Metropolitan nurses made 1,63S,93c
free visits to policy-holders, and Met
ropolitan Agents IN all parts of the
United States and Canada engaged II
a health campaign through the dis
tribution of literature to policy-holder'
to the extent of over eighteen millior
pieces. These health activities have
been continuous during the last ter
years and the Company has founC
that they have had an appreciabl'
effect on its mortality. The dealt
rate for 1920 among Industrial policy
holders was the lowest in the histor,
of the Company. The reduction il
general mortality in the last min
years has been % 40 per cent. Th
Companys reduction of mortality fron
typhoid in nine years has been Z
per cent in tuberculosis, 40 per cent

cent; Bright's disease, nearly q pc
cent and the infectious disease o

eral reduction, and for each principa
cause of death, is greater than tina

states that she is physically unable
