more bad birds seeking to affiliate themselves with the good fiocks than there are good birds looking for the other crowds. Taking the optinhst's s view of the matter, and believing that the world as a general proposition is growing better. it seems to be the duty of all to look for the indications be- meath the feathers of all birds. If those indications point to a growing desire to flock with the good birds, they should be encouraged.
 Revulsion toward anything dis pleasing. and a showing of such re- vulsion. never accomplished much good. Rather a great overlooking of the responsiveness of some things and some people will create confidence and understanding. and more and more will appear the right colored feathers
 -or feathers of white.
 So let's not be too sure that always Birds of a Feather Flock Together"

tell his old friend that his clients proposition. corrected perhaps by him., the lawyer. was pretty fair-if the lawyer were human and subject to human frailties.
 All this is assuming that Germany's proposals suggested as "a basis of dis cussion'' by Secretary Hughes would pass through this governments hands before submission. No other con struction of the note seems possible.
 If the plan proposed by the Secre- tary of State is carried out it is be- lieved we would not be acting as um- pire for anyone. We would act more in the character of attorney-and we would not be attorney for those na- tions with whom, eventually, we must and will be associated for all time. Our action could not fail but be thus interpreted by our friends, the allies.
 Despite the great good that would come were the separations matter to be settled and negotiations again opened. there is disappointment in the suggestion contained in the note of Secretary Hughes.
 There is hope in the fact that our reply says we would consider" bring ing the matter before the allies-no promise" is made.

GERMANY,s APPEAL.

Quite naturally the United States cannot act "as umpire" in regard to reparations between Germany and the Allies. as requested by Germany in her last appeal. Even though we were willing to do so it is doubtful if the Allies in their proper pride would consent.
 Germany's appeal is couched in the most convincing terms. She promises to pay; she promises to obey in letter and spirit the decision of the Presi- dent of the United States in this mat ter. One is accustomed to such prom ises from Germany; one is not accus- toned to their fulfilment.
 But, says the reply of Secretary of State Hughes: Should the German government take this course Cformu- late such proposals as would present a proper basis for discusionD this gov ernment will consider bringing the matter to the attention of the allied governments in a manner acceptable
  may speedily be resumed"
 Of course the reply of Secretary Hughes was made after thorough con- sultation with President Harding. It discloses the foreign relations policy of this government. The mystery lies in it, An indication of the future pol icy of President Harding and Secre- tary Hughes lies there. The next thing to do is to interpret it correctly.
 The words, taken literally. declare that we cannot act as umpire and set tie the amount Germany should pay. Yet the plain. simple interpretation of 1t shows that we are willing to submit Germany's proposals for Germany. with which country we are technically at war still. "in manner acceptable to them"-(the allies.)
 John Doe goes to a lawyer and tells him he is having trouble with Rich ard Roe. John asks the lawyer to set 1 tie their dispute. The lawyer is a friend of Richard Roe's. He says he cannot act as umpire between them. But I'll tell you what I'll do." he adds. You. John Doe. get up an agreement which will tell Richard Roe what you will do, put it in form so that it can be the basis for discussion, and I'll try to put it in such shape that Richard will talk with you about | it."
 This, in plain terms. is what the | reply of the United States to Germany means. The lawyer has been a long. time friend of Richard. He has | fought by his side. The man whom | Richard has whipped recently. with the aid of the lawyer, appeals to the lawyer. The lawyer has been for | some time considering forming a part. | nership with Richard. Now John has ! appealed to him to helZ him.

THE EPASE-MAkERS Some folks there are who venture far In fields that are too wide, And as they're hurled around the

 They never strike their stride. Then hail the class, not of the mass, Who stay at home and toll In work fields small, who from it all Will never dare recoil The souls who stay at home and play The minor chords. with Fate, Can feel the throb of earthly sob, The sympathy, the hate. But never mix in with the ticks That tumult carries rife, And never learn or seem to yearn For conquests of the strife. And so their lot is mainly not
 Cast in the realm of chance; But, better still. they carve their will And mock at Fortunes glance. Yet, those who go out with the flow Of human tide-and drift They must be brave to ride the wave That sinks but will not lift They have their shares of trials and

 They learn to laugh at Fate; They set the pace that -buoys the race And teaches men to wait

SCA0O[SCROWDFD ALL OVER ARKANSAS MUST ENLARGE FACILITIES Educational Institutions Face Prob lens of Accommodating Vast Throngs of Boys and Girls.
By Clio Harper.


 Little Rock, Nov. 10.-The educa- tional institutions of the state report a greater enrolment of students than ever before in all their history. This is true not only of the public schools, which are for the most part crowded beyond their capacity, but of the state and denominational schools, which are enjoying an era of unusual prosperity.
 The University of Arkansas has which is 150 more than this time last year. This enrolment approach es the maximum that we reached during the years while the Univer- sity had a secondary school i'll con nection with it. This represents HOO collegiate students, among whom are students from every coun- ty in Arkansas as well as from many states and foreign countries.
 The State Normal has an enroll. ment of 366, which is 101 more than year ago and as the fall terms of the country schools close there will be healthy increase in the matricu lation of teachers for the training courses.
 No other argument is needed to prove the necessity of greater facil- ities for taking care of the army of students in primary, secondary, high school and college courses. The high schools all over the state are wholely inadequate to provide accommoda- tions for those entitled to their priv
