1--WE are making this pilgrimage,
said National Commander Emery, "as
proof that the war alliance of Amer
ica and France was based on right
eous concept. More than two years
have passed since we fought side By
side. Many friendships have beer
broken in that time, many agree
ments and associations repudiated
But the friendship of America and
France persists. 1t is based on a
common understanding and a one
ness of aspiration that lives deep Ii
the hearts of the two great demo
cratic peoples"

SEEDS Of FUTURE
WARS IN EUROPE
DELIBERATIONS AND FINDINGS
OF VERSAILLES CONFERENCE
TO BLAME SAYS VISCOUNT
BRYCE.

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. f.
The seeds of future wars have been
sown in Europe by the deliberations
and findings of the Versailles con-
ference, Viscount James Bryce told
the Institute of Politics at Williams
College today in his second lecture
on international Relations of the
Old World States" Discussing the
framing of treaties by the represen-
tatives of the victorious powers, he
said:
Taking up the position in which
the European countries find them
selves as the result of the peace
treaty, Lord Bryce said:
Germany which though reduced
in area is still Germany and continues
to call herself the reich (the realm)
albeit now a republic instead or a
monarchy-German is still the moss
populous of European countries aft
er Russia with highly educated and
industrious inhabitants and grea'
productive industries. Between hei
and France the ancestral antagonisn
dating back to the days of LOUIS
XIV's aggressions is now more Dat
ter than ever and seems likely to las
in France as hong as the generation
lives which remembers the devasta
tion wrought in 1917 by the retirins
German army and in Germany al
long as her government continues te
pay immense sums in reparation fo'
the losses In the war by France.
This war has shown one unpre
cedented feature painful in the pros
uect it opens. The victors bear al
much resentment against the van
guished as the vanguished do agains
the victors. There is no DiacKei
cloud pregnant with future storm
hanging over Europe now than tina
which darkens the banks OF TN
Rhine"

GObbler Tries To
Hatch Guinea Eggs

Pierre, Aug. A Gregory coun-

bier on his farm. He raises large
number of turkeys and guineas, and
when the hen turkeys started hatch
ing the gobbler was disconsolate for
q time, but in his wanderings ne
found a guinea nest which had been
hidden out by one of the hens of
that brood, and Mr.. Gobbler pro-
ceeded to dispossess the setting hen
and take her place on the nest.
He has been diligently sticking

the main question in the mind Of
