ment incurs some risk in assuming sole responsibility for 1t now. The proposals were possibly only because of the extreme desire to como to terms with France and because of the deep sympathy felt hese with the French people, twice invaded in liv- ing memory, and subjecte3 for many years to humiliation at the hands Of a militant Germany.
 French Not Satisfied
 But apparently the Frenchmen for whom Poincaire speaks are not sat- isfied. They object to being bound against aggressive action in the event os a further German default on rera- rations. Their financial policy is based upon the view that French needs must taks precedence of every thing else.
 Poincaire also objects to our method of continued conferences. Our people haven't chosen this method of evolv- ing and applying policy. Ii has been fcrced by events.
 Insofar as international adjust ments are beyond the usual powers of diplomatic action, we would much rather they were left to the League of Nations.

TO OBSERVE JAN. 27
 AS GOOD ROADS DAY

Moulton. January D. Owing to the lateness at which the good roads programs were received from the state department of edu- cation, the county schools have all been asked to observe January 27 as Good Roads Day, instead of the goth, as first planned The schools are entering heartily into the pro- gram and many interesting gather ings will be held in the rural as well as the town schools. It appears that as in the past, just before any measure for good roads has been voted upon in Lawrence county, the roads have been worse than at any other time. For several days now rains have been falling. flooding the lowlands and making the roads all but impossible. The prospect for carryiRg the measure Is good in Lawrence county.

AN EDITORIAL By the Post, Commander

The case of s. H. Hurley, the ai- most unknown soldier, who was buried last Sunday-the legion is proud of the manner of his burial --is closed matter.
 Aside from the pathos of his death and circumstances attend- ing 1t, there were details of the matter which are undoubtedly much to be regretted. Birming- ham post No. 1 of the American Legion yields to no one in it's jealousy for the good name of Bir- mingham; 1t therefore deplores the fact that many newspapers of the country exploited the Hurley case by over-emphasizing certain of It's phases to the prejudice of the city of Birmingham.
 The post commander feels that no post of tho organization in the United States. or in the 25 foreign countries where the legion is or- ganized, enjoys greater measure of wholesome public sympathy and support than does the local post. He thinks this fact Is demon strated by the very generous do- nations of both supplies and money from organizations and in- dividuals in the city to the legion in the conduct of the legion "ehow house." and It's employment bu- reau, along with every other un- dertaking of enterprise of the or- ganization.
 The post commander expressed himself as wishing that all the unhappy circumstances of the Hurley case may be forgotten and that only the good which will come out of the Incident to other needy cases may be remembered.

The accident occurred during an unusually heavy rainfall, the water accommodating so rapidly that depth of IS inches was reached, the drainage being insuf- ficient to prevent the rise. The boy rounded the corner on his wheel and as it struck the water turned over, the lad underneath. When rescued. he made away on the wheel without telling his name.

 However. If he does not know all of this. he perhaps knows that Ger many has been greatly encouraged in her resistance to the treaty she signed by certain political acts in 1920, to which Mir. Mccormick and his friends are not entirely strangers.
 Senator Mccormick must know also that France has been twice invaded within 50 years and will guard against repetition whether he ap- proves or not.
 You must understand, of course, that I do not take such manifesto tions too seriously. I only want tho American people to understand how unjust they are and what a bad ef- feet they create.
 Vnlneless Signatures
 France has learned bitterly how It, tie dependence can be placed upon in- ternational signatures. She signed treaty with her enemy, who in- gtantly escaped. She signed that treaty with two of her friends, one of whom refused to ratify. while the other immediately began to mutilate. Is that not enough to teach us that we must depend upon ourselves?
 Let me tell you, my American friends, that you are showing as much credulity toward German prop aganda today as in 1916 and 1917. when 1t nearly cost you so dear. But this time you have no excuse for you have been able meantime to judge Germany by her acts.
 Instead of denouncing French im- perialsm, which does not exist In this land of cemeteries. why not think of tho German imperialism, which only a few days ago, on January IS, cele- brated the anniversary of it's vulture empire.

 We are rather tired of being read lessons by people not qualified to give them. They do not impress us, neither do they worry us, but we re- serve the right to consider them out of place, or perhaps comical.
 When, for example, Senator McdilI Mccormick of Illinois asked Secretary Hughes for of- ficiaI documents ns to the cone ditions of our finances and the extent of our military expendf- lures, ono could not help smil- ing.
 If the senator had taken the trou- ble to inquire he could have learned easily enough that our budget of 25,- oo0,o0o,000 francs includes f3,oo0,000- GOO devoted to debt service. This is 5000, ,000,0 more than in 1919, and 1t represents the interest on S0.o0o,- 0o0,000 francs borrowed to rebuild our 600,000 destroyed houses and to pay to widows and orphans and in- valids their pensions, all of which Germany should have paid.
