No HELP FOR GERMANY.

1T is thumbs down for Germany, in
America as well as in England and
France. in spite of American sympathy
and generosity. The action of the Ger
mans at the London conference has left
no other possibility. Americans do not
go all the way with France, but the
American feeling as TO what is just and
proper is far nearer the French than the
German idea.
German propaganda has overreached
itself again. There has been gross mis-
representation about the black troops
on the Rhine" and gross misrepresenta-
ton of the actual reparation sought. In
telligent Americans recognize that the
$50, 900, 100000 asked for includes inter
est over long term of years and repre-
sents a principal of only about $50, 0O0,-
100000, which is probably not excessive.
The counter-proposals at London were
absurd.
If the Germans persist IN refusing to
pay like honest debtors, the debt must
be collected by force. American troops
will not help, but American sentiment
will support the allies.

The battle in the mountains, which

OF a greater struggle in which the rich

All available state police and deputy

rushed to the scene, but according to
reports they had been unable to check
the shooting.
The towns under fire are within
seven miles of each other and lie in a
narrow valley on the banks Of the
Tug river, which separates West Vir-
ginia from Kentucky.
The state police were virtually help
