SIMS is WRONG

"The use in war Of asphyxiating,
poisonous or other gases 80. having
been Justly condemned by the gen.
eral opinion of the civilized world =.
the signatory powers declare their
assent to such prohibition, and agree
to be bound thereby as between
themselves"
This from the treaties signed at the
Washington Conference.
But Admiral Sims in a recent
speech is reported as saying: IF VIC
are attacked we shall use gas, and
we won't care how, when or why"
The Boston Herald likes much bet
ter what Elihu Root said when he
presented the treaty to the Confer
ence:
"Cynics have said that in the stress
Of war these rules will be violated.
Cynics are always nearsighted, and
often and usually the decisive lacts
lie beyond the range Of their vision"
The people Will concur with Mr..
Root. When desperate, man may
fight like a rat in a corner, but the
man who would boast of it is lack
ing in something which We like TO
think man possesses. And one who,
having taken a solemn oath to up
hold his government, publicly de-
clares that his country's solemn
obligation is meaningless is conspic-
lousy lacking.
AS the years pass and reveal hor-
ribIe results, we are coming more
and more to realize that the use of
poison gas in warfare is more in
human than gouging out eyes and
burning at the stake. If Sims is
right we have no right to term an
other human being a savage, no right
to object to the TUT on the ground
OF cruelty, no right to the title of a
Christian nation.
There are scraps Of paper and
scraps of paper; those such as the
Kaiser and Sims see treaties to be,
Z such as those on which Francis
Scott Key pencilled these lines:
"'The star-spangled banner, in
triumph shall wave
Ger the land Of the free and the
home Of the brave"
Nothing about fighting like rats
in corner in these lines. 1t Is
pleasing and we believe better to
think that he who said If he could
make the songs Of people he cared
not who made the laws was nearer
right than is Admiral Sims. Surely
the American people do not take
kindly TO a hymn of hate or to the
spirit which inspires it, That WASH
ington treaty speaks their conviction
and high resolve. Whoever states
otherwise does them a grievous
wrong

HOW SOLDIER MAY BE NAT
URALIZED

Inquiry is received whether a SOL
der, who is not naturalized, but who
fought in the American army in the
World War, may vote at this cleo
ton.
In reply the journal would state
that the soldier may not vote until he
is naturalized but the process of be-
ing naturalized is greatly simplified
for him, though it would be extreme
ly doubtful if he could make use of it
in time to vote at this election. All
he has to do to be naturalized is to
write to James Farrell, Milk St, Bos-
ton, Mass, and from him learn when
a naturalization officer is coming to
the court nearest the home OF the APP
plicant, and on the coming of that Of
ficer to go before him with discharge
papers and there secure naturaliza-
ton.

The Suspect

Some of the old-time workers have
not yet grown accustomed to the new
regime.
One of them, who had been a ship
yard man all his life, but had just
tackled this particular job, went to
the boss one morning with 100 per
cent grievance.
Look here" he expostulated. Il
may be a new man and all that, but
there's a limit to what / stand for.
You don't need to have that detective
chasin' me around. all the time"
whats eatin' you?" queried the big
chief.
why. that sneaky lookin' guy that's
been following me round for the last
two days. What's the big idea?'
"My gosh, mani" beloved the boss.
That's no detective. That's your
helper."-The American Legion Week

Spray Nov For Peach Leaf
Curl, Orchard Men Suggest

Lexington, Ky, Dec. 8-This
is the time o& he yeacr to spray
peach trees with lime sulphur to
prevent damage next spring
from peach leaf curl, orchard
specialists at the College Of Ag-
riculture say. Many farmers and
growers make the mistake OF
putting, off the spraying and
then getting alarmed because
the leaves on their peach trees
curl up and drop after it is too
late to stop the disease. Leaves
infected with the disease become
swollen, distorted and curled and
finally drop off soon after they
unfold in the spring. This takes
the life out of the tree and final
ly causes the frui5 to drop. The
disease is checked by spraying
the trees at this time of the
year with a lime sui phur solution
made by using one part Of com
mercial lime sulphur to eight Of
water.
