SOME GOOD ADVICE

success of the Coblenz army schools will
not be amiss. Probably the educational
advantages offered account for the disin-
clination of our soldiers to spend their
time and money in drinking bouts as did
their predecessors.
To-day every one in the Coblenz army is
studying something Recruits who are
classed as illiterates are compelled to spend
a few hours each day in their unit school,
where they are given an education equal
to that of the first eight grades of an Amer
lean school. OF course this is highly con-
centrated, all the froth is left out, but so
satisfactory is the method that class of

IT He exciting rumor was learned on
the sly by ye scribe from a certain
party, who don't wish to be quoted
by name, just before the regular Friday
night meeting of Borough Council was
opened last night in our fne new Fire
House, that there is now ION the tapis" a
movement under foot which has now been
taken well in hand by Councilman Luther
Mickelman and other leading boroughites,
to begin holding once every week also spe-
cial extra additional meeting of Borough
Council in order to try to consummate
some real borough business at Council
now impossible to consummate at the regu.
lar Friday night Council meetings on ac-
count of Councilman Quinn's speeches.
Hon Cornelius F. X. Quinn, our newest
Councilman, who recently retired from his
big contracting business and local politics
in the metropolis, New York City, and
moved here just in time to become regis
tered here and run successfully for Bor-
ough Council, again took up all the regular
Council meeting at Fire House last night
with an eloquent speech on Christmas shop
ping and drinking So the plan now is
"rumor has it," to call the proposed extra
special Council meeting secretly every
Wednesday night after prayer meeting at
First Presbyterian all Council quickly as
scmbling in the room of the Junior Endeav-
orers of First Presbyterian straight after
services Wednesday nights and getting
down to business" excepting Councilman
Cornelius f. X. Quinn, is the plan, he not
being affiliated with the Protestant sect
and therefore probably absent.
Present at Council meeting in Fire House
last night were all members except Council
man Thurlow Pfugg, he still being on the
sick list with stomach trouble on account or
his Saturday-to-Monday business trip to
the metropolis, New York City, on secret
business of our State Anti-Saloon League,
and returning late Monday afternoon quite
sick and washed out
Hon. Quinn opened Council meeting last
night by quoting at length from great
classic orators and reading all of a speech
by man named, he said, Robert Emmett,

Hardy's "Tess of the De Urbervilles" at

the picture as follows.
And now, fellow boroughites," con-

MY philosophical meditations this night,
friends, on the holiday season and it's many
trials now approaching apace takes into

rather, consider only tonight the great

Santa is no public idol. True, if you gave

only appeal the Rhineland has against the
arrogance of the French occupation and
the lack of interest which the British take
in our welfare"
And in conclusion, one of Coblenz's
leading Rechtsanwalts, whose name can
not be mentioned, but who is daily in con-
tact with the various interallied commits
sions, and who for many years has held
high municipal Offices in Coblenz, declared:
ITO take the American troops away
would give the French the chance they
have long been seeking. They would send
five men into Coblenz for every American
taken away They would quarter them
selves in our homes instead of using the
barracks, as do the Americans. We would
have an economic revolt, deliberately TO
mented by the partisans of an autonomous
Government. and this would perhaps spread
until the whole of Germany would be again
seething in revolution. AS for the troops,
it is sufficient to say that they have taught
Germany a new meaning for the word re
spect and Coblenz can be grateful for
that if nothing else"
The New York herald., 1921-12-18

now rare that a German fails to take OIL
his hat when the Stars and Stripes passes
at the head of some returning group.
Politically and socially, the role of the
troops generally may be considered as a
moral policing of the entire American
area, and at the same time acting as a
balance wheel to the methods which un-
doubtedly would be installed were the area
to come under French supervision. For
instance, it has long been the desire of
certain French Generals to have a separate
Rhineland republic including the Palat-
nate and all of the allied bridgeheads. This
might be worked out, but the American
Army does not permit any revolutionary
propaganda which would tend to incite dis
order-whether it be directed from Berlin
Mayence or by DR. Dorton. the Rhineland
Separatist leader.
Therefore to the great dismay of Dr..
Dorton's friends the idea as far as Cob
lenz is concerned is virtually impossible
and the first appearance of any consider
able group of Dortonites bent on seizing
public buildings by force, would be the sig
nal for calling out a sufficient number Of
armed Americans to take matters in hand.
I'VE are here to learn, as we'll as to

follow"
