BEST CELEBRATION
EVER PULLED HERE

The Executive committee OF the
American Legion met last night to
consider plans for the mammoth Al
mistice Day celebration in Palatka'
Far more ambitious plans are being
made for a gala day than were made
last year. A Dodge touring car has
been purchased, and the young wom-
en- of the city will soon be selling
chances on this classy vehicle. Some

the best known cars in America for
ten cents.

planned to string large American
and Allied flags from the depot to
the river. This material will be pre-
served for future use.

The morning. The committee will
announce the name of the speaker OF
the day al a later date. 1t may b:
said at this time, however, that Pc
latka will have a real speaker fol

The parade will be probably one Of
the largest ever seen in Palatka. Al
vehicles will be decorated along pa

be no differentiation between pleasur,
cars and trucks, prizes to be award

WHY DID THEY CHANGE.

A few days ago William G. McA-
doc predicted that the United States
would experience wisaster in its
world trade if it continued its isola-
ton and refusal to join in with the
League of Nations. In view of the
signing of separate peace with
Germany it is interesting to note the
change in sentiment of Republicans
on the great document to which
Woodrwo Wilson wrote the covenant.
Mr.. Roosevelt Endorsed it as long
ago as 1911. Senator Lodge unre-
servedly committed himself to it in
1915. The League to Enforce Peace
had for its President William How
ard Taft, a former Republican Pres
ident of the United States, and it
was the general programme Of the
League to Enforce Peace which Nh
Wilson wrote into the Treaty of Yer
sailles.
The League of Nations had much
stronger Republican than Democratic
support up to the time that Mr.. Will
son indorsed it and made it the cor
ner stone of his foreign policy. Then
Roosevelt soured on it because he
hated Wilson. Lodge repudiated his
Union College speech, partly in order
to crafty his malevolent personal
antipathy toward Wilson and partly
through fear that the Battalion Of
Death might wrest the leadership of
the Senate from him. Hughes and
Hoover, who had signed the pronun-
ciamento of the Committee of Thir-
ty-one pledging the acceptance of the
League covenant with reservations
in the event of Mr.. Harding's cleo
ton, accepted places in the Harding
Cabinet and lapsed into silence. Root
having helped to establish the Per
manent Court of International JUS
tice under the covenant of the League
subsidized under the storm of Senate
rial criticism. Taft became Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court by grace of President Harding
and faded gracefully from the scene.
All of most eminent Republicans
in this fight to minimize by interna-
tional agreement the possibility of
war quit cold just as the victory was
IN sight.
