Simonds Brands the Genoa
Meet Political Scramble
Selfish Hopes for American Gold Be-
hind Pretense at Farley, World Fa-
nous Correspondent Asserts

Washington, April 24-The frs
week of the Genoa conference ha!
demonstrated clearly precisely those
things which not only in Europe, but
in Washington, had been expected.
Russian is playing for recognition
abroad.
Meantime France finds itself iso
lated precisely as all French observ.
ers expected it would be, and the pc,
litical signs in Paris all point TOWARD
a change in government.
Conference Called Hopeless
Virtually every government, every
ministry, which is represented al
Genoa is negotiating with rope
around its neck. Lloyd George,
Chitcherin and the Germans are in
reality conducting negotiations
abroad with an eye single to their
own political necessities at home
This is what makes the Genoa con-
ference hopeless and this is what
makes the present European situation
approximately hopeless.
When l left Paris ten days ago /
was told, over and over again in
Paris that French troops would move
against Germany this year if the
German attitude continued to be
what it had been for the past few
months.
AS to financial questions it is clear
with what eagerness Russia is striv-
ing to get the recognition from the
Western nations which can be ex-
pressed in terms of an international
loan.
l wish I could make clear the extent
to which the French public mind at
this moment is disillusioned, embit-
tered, and hardened, by the recent
progress of events. There has been
and there remains an impression in
Washington that this moral isolation
Of France will in the long run bring
about the submission Of the French.
But you do not have to stay in Paris
half an hour to preceive that the real
effect is just opposite. France, in my
judgment, is getting ready morally, if
not militarily, to act for herself, to
act against Germany and to use the
force which is now in her hands and
is approximately irresistible.
You hear nothing more constantly
in Europe than talk about an inter-
national loan. Russia wants one.
Germany wants one. France wants
one. Italy wants one But in, no
country do you see any real evidence
Of the adoption of a policy which
alone would> make such a loan posi-
BILE, since America must supply the
money if there is going to be any sue
cessful International loan.

Crime is decreasing. Unrest is dimin-

grand and glorious feeling TO know
that Legionaires Of Minnesota can
honestly believe their organization has
had a big part in bringing about this
result? When National Commander
MacNider launched his Legion nation

The Gopher Press

The Gopher Press
Every member of The American Le-
gion of Minnesota should be proud to
live in a state where the press is so
solidly American, so willing to coop
crate with the veterans, so intensely
interested in what Legionaires are
trying to do, so ready to help them.
The American Legion of Minnesota is
strong and powerful. Why? Largely
because, in Minnesota, Legion naws
gets publicity. According to Lemuel
Bolles, Legion National Adjutant, no
state in the nation is so generous In
this respect. Gopher editors have no
axes to grind other than to serve their
communities. And they know that
helping the local Legion post is one
of the best ways of helping the COM
munity.
The newspaper editors of Minnesota
WELD tremendous influence for good,
or evil They have chosen to back
the forces of good, of patriotism, OF
Americanism. They have helped make
Minnesota one of the most truly
olated cases, in minority of states,
editors may be controlled by certain
interests opposed to the principles for
which Legionaires stand. These in
terests crack the whip and the editors
jump.
Nothing like that in Minnesota. Look
over our state newspapers. See at
their helm set of thinking, patriotic,
four-square men, not one of whom
could be bought away from what he
believes to be in the best interests of
his country and his community. Prac-
tica1ly all were sound and sane dur
ing the war. They served then. They
are serving now. Hats off, Gopher Le-
gion Gang, to the press of Minnesota,
the best press of the best state in the
nation. And better still, show the ap-
probation Of the Gopher Gang by
standing four square back of your
home town newspaper. It's editor has
helped you. Help hin-NOW!

it has been recognized as the be-

observance has been enjoined with
the view of directing the thoughts or

what a spider and FIy Did.


Dear Uncle Jed There was once a
young prince who thought he should like
to drive all the spiders and flies out
Of the world.
One day after a great battle this
prince had to hide from his enemies. He
ran to a woods. and there he lay down
under a tree and fell asleep Shortly
after a man came along, and crept up to
kin him.
Just then a big fly came creeping
over the face of the prince and woke
him up. He jumped to his feet and the
man ran away.
That night the prince hid himself in a
cave in the same wood. In the night a
spider wove his web across the mouth
Of the cave.
The next morning two men, who were
trying to find the prince and kill him,
passed by the cave.
The prince was awake, and heard what
they said.
let US look into this cave" said one
Of the men. the may be hiding in there"
NO" said the others that cannot be
if he had gone in there. he would have
broken down that spiders web"
And so the men went on and did not
look into the cave.
AS soon as they went away, the
prince thought how his life had been
saved. one day by fly. and the next by
q spider, so he decided not to kill all
the flies and sniders, or drive them all
out of the world

At the Boat Races.
Taftville.

Dear Uncle Jed Last summer my
friend took me to visit her aunt in West
erly., r. I. Her cousin asked US # We
wanted to see the boat races in New
London. OF course we said yes. So early
Friday morning we started in an auto
for Ocean Beach, because it was there
that we were TO have our lunch. We ar
rived there about II o'clock. There were
many aeroplanes there. One large plane
was towing saiIboat to the pier. We
then ate our lunch. which consisted Of
sandwiches, cake, candy and almost al
kinds of fruit Then it was time to start
out again.
We passed many interesting features,
but we finally got there. After waiting
about two hours in the aut3, we heard
the whistle of some of the boats and that
OF the observation train. Of course
favored Yale because it is in my OWL
state. My friend favored Harvard be-
cause she came from Massachusetts. She
had a red flag and I had q. blue feather
First Harvard was ahead. but soon Yale
began to win at every stroke. OF course
there was much shouting and footing
done Above US there were many planes
taking pictures Of the boats. You know
that Yale won and was very much sat
isAed. There were thousands Of automo,
biles there.
After that we started for home. We
were almost asleep before we got back tC
Westerly We enjoyed it very much anc
said that we would like TO go again sons
time.
