WEAR A POPPY ON MAY 80.

The American Legion has chosen
the poppy as its memorial flower.
In order to make it generally known
it is desired that American Legion
Posts everywhere arrange for their
members to wear a poppy on Memoir
ial Day. Sons of Vetrans, the G. A. R.
and the Service Star Legion are al
so asked to join with the American
Legion in making this flower the
recognized emblem of memorial to
the Americans who lost their lives in
France.
The poppy in full bloom in the
fields of France is an inspiring sight.
Seen from a distance blazing red in
profusion, they carry out the appear
ance of the blood shed in defence of
Liberty. Fresh flowers will of course
be hard to secure, but artificial flow
9rs may be secured. 1t is suggested
that Red Cross organizations have
it's members make up quantities of
the flowers and offer them for sale
as a benifit. In this way they can
not only supply a worthy demand,
but will help to keep down profiteer-
ing on the part of selfish interests
which may seek to commercialize on
the demand.

ical and contemplate. But fortunate
ly there are thousands that are sin
cere and honest. For this the world is
thankful.
I have been criticized as often as
l have been complimented for things
| have said in these columns. The
compliments have not turned my head
and the criticisms have not troubled
me when 1 have told the truth. At
times have been honestly mistaken.
When l have been, 1 have not been
above admitting it.
And because it seems that all the
readers of this paper have not yet
learned that it is my determined
policy to tell the truth, L
again repeat it. And 1 say it in all
sincerity and earnestness of purpose.
| realize that l have no monopoly on
truth, but l shall humbly strive to
handle the truth justly when it is
my privilege to speak.

When Rene Viviani returned 10
France he brought to the French peo-
pie lively appreciation of the work
of the American Legion, as attested by
wireless message to the ex-service
mems organization. The message in
part, read:
Before returning to France, l can
not refrain from expressing my affec-
tionate greetings to the American
Legion. to its National Commander,
Colonel F. W. Galbraith jr., and to the
Commander in Chief of the Amer
lean Expeditionary Forces, my believe
ed and valiant friend General John
j. Pershing."

WASHINGTON PARK
DEVELOPMENTS
Memorial Park comprising territory
from New Hope to Washington
Crossing slnwlv taking form

Memorial Park comprising territory
from New Hope to Washington
Crossing slowly taking form
New Hope Word has been received
of hitch in the plans laid out by
the Washington Crossing Park Com
mission. This occurred in the attempt
to purchase Taylor's Island just a.
bove the bridge at the Crossing. This
is to be made into a park with land
scape Improvements, open to tourists
and pleasure parties as memorial
to George Washington and the cour-
agous band of soldiers who made the
famous crossing of the river before
the Battle of Trenton in December
1776. 1t was behind this island THAI
Washington's soldiers concealed the
boats prior to crossing the river.
1t is a deplorable thing that owners
of such property hold out on the
sale of it with such contemplate
mercenary motives when the pur-
chase of the property is for purely
patriotic purposes. We have berated
slackers and enemy aliens, and yet
people who claim to be good Ameri-
cans try TO grow rich in the sale of
properties which otherwise would be
of little commercial value. 1t is
reprehensible greed of commereializ-
ing patriotism, and should be openly
condemned by those who sincerely
deseire to see the perpetuation of a
worthy tribute to the unselfish men
who preserved the liberty of America.
The members of the Commission
which is working for the completion
of the Park is Governor VIM. C.
Sproul, president; Hon. Harmon
Yerkes, vice president; Arthur P.
secretary; Hon. Henry W.
Watson, Hon Clarence J. Buchanan
and Samuel C. Eastburn of Bucks
County; Hon. ". Clayton Hackett of
County; Allen W. Hag-
enbach of Lehigh County, c. c. A.
Bald of Philadelphia; W. Hayward
Myers of Delaware County, and Chas.
NJ. Sehwab of the Bethlehem Steel
Company.
The Commission revealed the diff
ficulty encountered with the owners
of Taylor's Island when they asked
for the appointment of jury of view
to assess the damages in taking over
the island.
An interesting article of the his
torical setting of the part played by
this section in the war for independ-
ence was recently published in this
paper. 1t was originally prepared by
DR.. ]. E. Scott, of New Hope, for
the records of the Bucks County His
torical Society. 1t has been printed
in pamphlet form and may be Sc
cured free with subscriptions for

TELLING THE IRITH

Constantly we are told that truth
is mighty that truth will prevail
that truth is the great standerd to
which all things must measure up if
they survive. And yet land there is
the rub) if the truth shows US up, or
treads on our toes, then it should not
be told. at is better to say nothing
at all than to tell the truth that hurts
someone" we will be told. If the
truth, however, affects some one else
and treads on someone's else toes
then we are urged to "go to it," Now
truth is no truth at all if it does not
apply equally to all, If the truth is
good for one, it is good for all. If it
hurts one, it is likely to hurt another.
Ii it helps one, then it is safe to as
sumo that it will help others.
A newspaper, in order to faithfully
represent life, must tell the truth. It
may hurt at times, but it viii help
more. Many Of US could well profit
by being told the truth about our
selves. Bobby Burns understood hu-
derstood human psychology when he
said, "Oh wad some power the giftie
gle US to see oursels as ithers see u.s."
The most blessed thing that could
happen to some Of us would be to
have the plain, unvarnished truth
pumped into US like good old-fashion-
ed castor oil.
The statement was made in the col
umns of this paper Immediately af-
ter l became its editor, that it was
to be the spokesman for truth at all
costs. have determined sincerely to
publish the truth always to the best
of my ability. If l make a mistake
Gas I am sure am not immune from
error) / will keenly appreciate being
shown the truth. But l honestly warn
any smart Aleck that if l am tax
en- to task the truth is always going
to determine the issue.
A good newspaper must be mir
ror. It must reflect life exactly as it
sees it. If newspaper is gagged
and fettered it is but caricature Of
what it ought to be. If the newspap,
ers were all stopped at a moments
notice the world would be in a de
plorable state. Newspapers are a pro
duct of enlightened civilization. Thei,
mission is to portray and mirror tn,
happenings and truths of life. Whel
newspapers come to the point o
being enslaved to personal greed an,
selfish interests, fawning to curr,
favor from this one and that, it wi
be sad day for the peoples of tn
world. True many papers ARE er
shaved many Of them are hypocrit

GERMAN SCHEMING

France is not to be blamed for re-
fusing the latest offer by the Ger
mans for the Preparations she is to
pay. Not only is the sum too small,
and the installments too long deferr-
ed. but there is a more significant
condition to the German offer which
France alone recognizes as a deadly
evil. The Germans volunteer to under
take the restoration of certain areas
of the devasted territory which are
blighted by the butchery of their sol
diers. On the face of it, there might
appear a humane and unselfish char
acter to this part of Germany's de-
sire to wipe out her debt. But be-
meath the offer is a sinister pur-
pose that has not escaped the watch
full eyes of French diplomats. IF
GERMANY CAN GET HER WORK
MEN INTO FRANCE, even in doing
so-called work of restitution, SHE
WILL UTILIZE 1T IN CONTAIN
MATING FRANCE WITH INSID-
IoUS PROPAGANDA. The Germans
will ingratiate themselves upon the
natives; there will be marriages be-
tween them; seeds of discomfort will
be sown; corrupt and revolutionary
ideas will be implanted in the minds
of the youth, and every conceivable
scheme imaginable will be resorted
10 by those vile minded and indecent
ly corrupted Huns of barbarism.
France knows Germany as no other
people of the earth know her. France
knows that the insidiousness of their
propaganda seeks to slyly steal her
territory by hook or crook. Germany
does not make her offer of restorat-
ions from a sincere desire. France is
aware of it. France knows that Ger
many with its pernicious "Kulturn is
the most loathsome disease known
to the human mind.
1t is to be hoped that France may
be given backing for occupation of
Ruhr. 1t seems more and more i'm
perative that Germany must be made
to realize that she has been beaten
by races of people who still respect
national honor and national freedom.
