A Warming of War

Premier Lloyd George Of Eng
land issued a solemn warning at
Genoa, when he spoke Of the threat
to the world created by the disor-
g3nization of Eurone, and OF the
menace in case Germany and Rus
STA, constituting two thirds o. Eur
ope, should line up against the
other powers.
The issue of this war can not be
settled upon basis of abstract jus
tice. If the Germans got what they
deserved, they would drag the
chain as many years as they would
have made the allied powers carry
it in case Germany had won But di
vidng Europe into two classes,
conquerng nations and conquered
draws a line of hatred and may
lead to further wars.
The allied powers, including the
United States, have got to arrange
some deal with Russia and Ger
many to which those people viii
absent in good faith, and in which
all parties will make loyal effort
to stand by their agreements.
The difficulty is tremendously
complicated by the fact that Rus
STA having the greatest population
of all, is under the control of auto
Gratis and fanatics, whor ule by
military power without regard to
the desires of the people. 1t is a
difficult matter to do business with
such folks, because they ask impos-
sible things. They seem to think
the rest OF the world will rush in
and invest many millions of money
to revive the industries ruined by
bolshevist fanaticism. without Sc
curity that the people who invest
their resources are ever going to
get their money back.
People who take such preposter-
Gus views will have to learn that
the people who have achieved more
prosperit Y are not so easily gulled
But some kind or adjustment ought
to be reached with these powers.
for present conditions Of hatred
and disorganization constitutes a
greater menace every day they
continue.

Probably the reason is that the
detection of crime calls for the
quickest wit, the keenest pwoer of
observation, and the most
thorough familiarity with human
nature. The detective who can un-
cover the battling trail of the skill

Proof Of Better Times

One Of the favorable signs ac-
companying the advent of the
CHEEKY month of Nav is the report
based on u canvass by the Associa-
ted Press, that business conditions
are improving and that there is
less unemployment despite the
large number Of strikes in various
parts of the country. This state
ment is worthy of credence as it
is issued by the greatest news
CATHERINE organization on earth
after an investigation made by its
representatives. If it had been
founded on some department sta
tistics the assertion would carry
far less weight.-Montpelier Ar

Arthur Mudgett, the Johnson,
man who was sometimes dubbed
."Fatty Aruckle" by his friends,
goes to the state prison for killing
Amy Shonio, a young lady who
came under the spell of his amor
Gus proclivities and who, later
stood in the way Of his peace OF
mind to such an extent that he was
held to have been instrumental IN
her taking off from this life. The
sentence is none too heavy, look
ing at the case in the light of the
evidence adduced at the trial in
Lamoille county court. jury and
Judge handled the case in the light
Of that evidence, not from mere
consideration of the plight of the
man who was accused of the crime
and after due consideration, the
Vermont supreme court held that
there was no error in the proceed
ings Of the lower court. Arthur
Mudgett gets that punishment
which the law designed. The
crimes against Amy Shonio are to
be eXpiated. May there be less of
that sore of crime as the result of
the satisfying Of justice. May there
be no more Amy Shonios betrayed
and then Slain.-Bare Times.

CURIOUS THINGS FOUND

folks who have fed to rural districts

quently been compelled to trade their
belongings to the peasants for food.
Frequently, however, the peasants
have little idea how to use the arti-
cles which come to them in exchange
for milk and -four.
An American who recently visited
a village near the city saw magnifi-
cent concert grand piano in a one
room hut which sheltered peasant
family of six. The family's cooking
utensils were stacked on top of the
piano and a small pig was tied to one
of the legs.
Under the Ikon which hung in one
corner Of the room the visitor saw a
number Of glittering objects which
upon closer inspection proved to be
the silver fittings from mans toilet
case. The handsome Russia leather
case from which the toilet articles
had been taken was lying on the floor,
