 Insult to Keynes
 shall not waste time in this book on the insults addressed by Mir. Keynes to France, her representa- tives and her policy. I confine my self for noting once for all that this writer. whose contentious do not withstand examination in the light of facts here set forth condemns himself both by the violence of his words and the contradiction of his acts. The violence of his words ? Here are a few samples: Nightmare empty and arid intrigue; puppet- show; Carthaginian peace; the hot and poisoned atmosphere of Paris; the treacherous halls of Paris; the morass of Paris; insincerity; syste- matic destruction; Germany's out lawry; spoilation; imperial aggrand- isements; ridiculous and injurious provisions; the policy of reducing Germany to servitude for a genera ton, of degrading the lives of mill lions of human beings. of depriving a whole nation of happiness; a de- structive blow at the so-called inter- national law; some preach in ihe i name of justice; cavern; sopnistry and jesuitical exegesis; dishonorable to the allies in the light of their pro- fessions; dishonesty; the grossest spectacle; food for the cynic imbe- cile and senseless greed; unveraeity; crushing policy; policy of pretence :; so contorted, so miserable negotiation; shame; false sta tement, breach of en- .,rns oY,al Of f,,fa ality comparable with the invasion of Belgium; one of the most outrageous acts of a cruel victor In a civilized history" When man is right he does not write thus As to MT Keynes acts I will merely say this My Keynes was attached as an ex- pert to the British delegation up to June g, 1919; that is to say, for six months. Long before this date the treaty drawn up with his collabora- tion contained all the features for which he has since criticized it so virulently. So he would have been better inspired if he had resigned a few months sooner instead of abusing to the end the confidence of those he was preparing to insult"
 Complaints Made.
 Complaint has been made that on some points, and not the least inn portant, the recommendations of the commissions were not adopted by the heads of governments. That is true. But could 1t possibly have been other wise? Here again I appeal to reali- ties. The peace was political strus- ture built by political bodies. known as nations. Besides, 1t was the peace that Is to say a work of harmony following on a period of strife. Two consequences resulted therefron. consequences too easily forgotten now

ALABAMA IS NOW
 WITHOUT DOG LAW
KlIby Signs Measure Repeal ing Act of Legislature
 of 1919
By FRED II. GoRMLEY

22l-2 First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, November 3.-(Spe- cial)-The bonds of the law were removed from the necks of Alabama dogs Thursday afternoon when Gov ernor Kilby signed the bill repeating the dog law enacted at the regular session of the legislature in 1919. The bill was passed at the special session last week. Governor Kilby approved the bill and made 1t law because 1t Is nonenforceable and Is a dead let ter on the statute book, not because it was not good law if enforced
 The law imposed a license tax on all dogs owned and kept in Alabama The first year after it's enactment it placed a quarter of a million dollars in the state treasury. After the first year all persons discovered there was no machinery for enforcement, and the license last year was negli- gible.
 "The bill has become a dead letter on the statute books" said Governor Kilby in commenting on his approval of the repeating act. "The law was oHe or the pest ever enacted, but there was no machinery for enforce ment l believe the people of Ala bama some day will realize that the sheep industry, which was intended to be protected, Is worth more to the state than the cur dog industry, and will demand another dog law"
 By the approval of the bill Ala bama became without dog law for the first time since 1915. The legis- lature of 1915 enacted dog law and the law of 1919 was intended to make 1t stronger. The 1919 law repealed the 1915 law, and when it ceased to exist Thursday no dog law was left on the statute books. All county of hcials and license inspectors will be given official notice by the tax com mission of the approval of the act.
 Governor Kilby also approved the act appropriating $25,00O for the ex- pense of indigents who must come to Montgomery for treatment at the Pasteur institute after having been bitten by rabid animals. This appro-

Sharing the honors was General Pershing, in- troduced to his fellow "buddies" of the American Legion simply as 'Blaek Jack"
 From early morning until late to- night the city poured forth its hos pitality to the two warriors in mag nifcent manner. Both expressed keen delight at the reception accorded them. The American warrior, devi- ating from his usual serious vein, ln- dulged in numerous pleasantries as he addressed members of the Ameri- can Legion in the city hall.
 Marshal Fooh, called upon to ad- dress several throngs, expressed de- light and appreciation of the honors bestowed upon him and the cordial welcome shown him. Visibly affected with the bestowal of the honorary de- gree of Doctor of Laws upon him by the St Louis university in an open uuadrangle before the student body and members of the Catholic schools, the marshal declared it difficult to express himself. A few minutes pre- viously from the same platform Archbishop John J. Glennon had pre- sented him with a commemorative medallion on behalf of the fourth de- gree, Knights of Columbus. Twelve Year-Old Elizabeth Fuez received kiss on both cheeks from Marshal Foch when she presented him with large boquet on behalf of the Inter national Federation of Catholic Alumni.

In the att ernoon Marshal Foch appeared before an assemblage of French societies. which extended their welcome to him. A banquet tonight by the chamber of commerce concluded St. Louis welcome. The marshal and his party. which included Hanford MacNider or Mason City, la, the new nauonal commander of the American Legion, was scheduled to leave after mlu- night for Indianapolis. where tomor- row the marshal will be the guest of that city.
 General Pershing left for Nash vile, Tenn. on business.

CONSIDER NOMINATION
 OF GEORGIA NEGRO
Bx Associated Press

Washington. November S.-The nomination of Henry Lincoln John son, negro republican national com mitteeman for Georgia, to be recorder of deeds here. was considered today by a District of Columbia subcom- mittee, consisting of Senators Jones of Washington and Capper of Kan sas, republicans. and Sheppard, dem ocrat, Texas. The subcommittee will report on the nomination, probably next week, and although the matter is confidential, 1t is understood that the two republicans will recommend Johnson's confirmation with Senator Sheppard in opposition. Disposition by Johnson of funds received during the last presidential primary is a factor in the case.

14 points, his speeches, like the allies declarations of 1916 and 1917, like the resolutions of the French Parliament of the same year, had merely obeyed the dictates of history, had merely registered the will of the warning peoples; 1t is because the peace or victory offspring of the war, had necessarily to confirm and not repud- fate the ideals for which the war was fought.
 UnanImity of Purpose
 The peace derives its whole charac- ter from this unanimity of purpose. And if in all of its chapters--whethe they deal with frontiers or with new states, whether they deal with repara- tions or the internal affairs of na- tions-this character reappears, one may regret and disapprove, if one is a Bismarckian or of an lmperilist turn of mind, but nobody has the right to be astonished. For all through the war. all the allies without e1- ception, obedient to the peoples will had constantly proclaimed that, when victory was won, the peace would be made exactly as 1t was made.
 The conference meets The men and the materials are gathered. The work awaits. What method shall be followed? In the early part of Jan nary. the French delegation had pro- posed a general plan of procedure which M. Clemenceau had asked me to prepare.
 Under this plan 5S groups were formed, including in addition to the n1aninotentiaries and the heads of government departments, men repre- senting every type of human activi- ff1a historians. manufacturers, business, men, admin istrators. professors, journalists, sol diers and sailors who brought wide uersonal experience to every prob lem along with the results of the pre- liminary studies in which nearly all of them had participated These com missions, albeit organized as occa- sion demanded from day to day, re- sponded none the less to the require ments of efficient organization. A very large amount of work, in com mtttee meetings and in reports, was furnished by them. On every ques- tion a scrupulously fair hearing was given to all interested parties as of ten as they desired. More than 1,5OO committee meetings were held, often supplemented by local investigations. It Is the conscientious effort of these men that MT. Keynes has sought to ridicule in his book on the confer ence. The poisonous morass of Paris" to cite but one of the least violent of his epithets, has naught to fear from his invective. Rarely was political undertaking more honestly and more scrupulously prepared. may add that despite the heat of cer- tain debates all those who took. part in 1t have retained one for another great mutual esteem, the esteem of men of good faith and good will who
