THERE is too much paid
patriotism in the world to-

patriotism in the world to-
day for the worlds own
good. Many of our troubles are
the direct result of love of
country that is based upon per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. If war
was not profitable, there would
be no war.
If all the nations of the earth
would adopt and enforce laws
prohibiting any individual, firm
or corporation from making prof
its during war time, there would
be no necessity for a league of
nations or any other organiza-
ton to maintain peace. The
pocketbooks which have been fat
tening on war would see to it
there was no more war.
While we have such a surfeit
of paid patriotism, we suffer
from a lack of real love of coun-
try. There is too little willing
ness to pay debt of gratitude
to our country. Where is the
patriotism of those who have
prospered and who have a real,
tangible obligation to the coun-
try which gave them the oppor-
tunity to rise above the average?
Where is the service to their
country of the successful men of
so and above, who have amassed
more wealth than they can pos
sibly spend in the remainder of a
lifetime? The knowledge they
have gained in years of business
would be of inestimable value to
the city, state and nation in
which they reside. They could
afford to give it gratis, not as
men, but as citizens
grateful to the nation which gave
them the opportunity to amount
to something.
But instead of volunteering,
they hold aloof and complain
when a representative of the rad
ical element gains the positions
they, themselves, should hold.
The big men of this country are
the ones who are responsible for
the conditions which now exist.
They are the natural leaders of
the country and if they are not
leading, it is because they have
shirked their obligations.
The country has the right to
commander the services of these
men for the public good. 1t has
just as much right to call upon
them in time of peace as in time
of war. And it should call.
The nation today is encounter
ing a problem in paid patriot
ism" which means infinitely more
than the millions of dollars which
may be paid to the younger citi-
oens of the country who served
in the army during the late world
war. We refer to the Bonus bill.

EUROPE'S PLIGHT
NOW BEFORE u.


Washington, Dec. 13-The great,
perplexing world problem of the ser
ious European situation is now squar-
ly before the United States Govern
ment. tt
These are the facts that make up
the present significant situation:
"a. Immediately upon the downfall
of the London Conference, Great Brit
ain, through Ambassador Geddes here
who was acting on instructions from
London, laid the whole question be
fore the American Government.
-. Following the conference be-
tween Geddes and Secretary of State
Hughes, the United Press learned
that Hughes also has just been in
formed by the German Government Of
it's latest Preparations proposals TO
Prime Minister Bonar Law, of Great
Britain, proposals which the allies viz
tually rejected. This notification to
Hughes of the German proposals was
in line with the policy of Berlin in re-
Gently informing the United States of
all important developments in the
European economic situation, and al
So BY Inference is sort of appeal to
this government TO do whatever it
can. In view of the collapse of The
London Conference and the threaten
ed occupation of the Ruhr, by France,
Il formal appeal to the United States
may soon come from Germany.
3. The White House. has let it be
known that the American Govern
ment is active in trying to bring
about an adjustment of the European
problem, although. the s.Administrii-
ton spokesman declares that it Is i'm
possible for the present to reveal the
exact details of what is being done,
;, A. Secretary Hughes, is known TO
be following the whole situation most
closely and to be prepared to act If
the circumstances warrant. f
Thesoiscussions and deliberations of
the United States Government on the
European question are not the direct
result of the campaign in America
by .Clemenceau and these converse
lions really started before Clemen-
eeau came to this country.
= Washington holds that Clemence2u
has been advocating and supporting
the very policies of France that are
largely responsible for the presen.
plight of Europe.

The football season that has just
closed was a very successful season for
Alexandria Tigh School. The out
look at the beginning of the season was
not the brightest by any means, but
by hard, constant work on the part oil
both the coach and players, fine
machine was developed. The hardest
lob was the building of a new back
field and, the season was half over
before a suitable combination was
found. The outstanding star of the
team. of course, was Captain Hayman,
who was a tower of strength on both
offense and defense. Here is play

wears and has never been taken OUT
of game for any reason. Midkri

and passer, and fast man around the
ends. Moore eXcelled at running IN

Pohls work at center was. very good'
and his judgment in calling signals
