Cell Righteous Untruths

(NeW York Tribune.)
France, with her vulnerable cast
ern frontier, must depend upon her
army for her first line Of defense,
Just as Great Britain and the United
States depend upon their navies.
Frances army burdens are, there
fore, considerable. Despite this fact
her army charges arc only S273,QO0,-
Geo, exclusive of the army Of occu-
patton, compared with $27O,O 900, 900
for the United States and $363,0OO,-
for the United Kingdom. If the
army of occupation charge be added
Frances army budget is about $313,-
100000. The naval expenditures for
the three nations arc: Great Britain,
SS07,000,000; United States, $685.
100000; France, S75,0OO,O00.
Thus the mythical billions spent
by war mad" Europe fade into very
moderate expenditures. The United
States, separated from the nations of
Europe and Asia by an ocean east
and west, is seen to be spending from
two fifths to three fifths more for
defense than is France. with deadly
enemies at her gates. Is it not time
that the Pharisees of America ceased
this particular brand Of self right
couS untruth?

To Carry Christmas
To Far Piraeus

The shipping board steamer Saba
towan. laden with provisions for the
Near East Relief, will shortly sail on
one of the most curious voyages in
history. according to information re-
ceived today by the local Near East
Relief committee. ~
1t is to embark from New York on
Christmas Day laden to the gunwales
with food, clothing and other supplies
for war refugees and orphans. and
will deliver this cargo in Piraeus also
on Christmas Day. Its arrival in the
Greek port Of Athens is scheduled for
January 10, the date of the Armenian
Christmas.
The vessel has been placed at the
disposal Of the relief organization at
the direction of President Harding.
1t is being sent out in addition to the
relief shipments which have left this
country at regular intervals since the
Smyrna disaster.
The coming of these relief ships is
hailed with almost hysterical joy by
the refugees, and Christmas will be
doubly Christmas in Piraeus this year
because Of the arrival Of the Saba
towan with its cargo.

EVERY GOOD CITIZENS JOB


At last the President Of the United
States and Governors OF several Of
the States have met and talked over
the prohibition situation and expect
TO have another meeting in the near
future.
Really II is time for something Of
Tho sort. Not that it brings out any
particularly new and striking feat
ures or advances novel phases of the
problem under consideration. There
is. however one little note on the
meeting seemingly worthy of consid-
Grafton IL we would attach impor-
lance to the claims OF the "wets";
nohe of the Governors, whatever
might be their views respecting the
desirability of the law cared to
recommend laxity in enforcement. No
one disputed that the law should be
obeyed, though the Governor of
Maryland would have the amendment
recommitted to the States. A ma
jority Of those present favored rig
crous penalties for violation Of the
law. Weak spots in the Federal en-
forcement were pointed out; the
need OF more money was emphasized.
Governor Cox of Massachusetts,
possibly mindful of the reported serv-
Ing OF whiskey in nursing bottles at
banquet of his States road builders
suggested "dollar-a- year" men
volunteering to give their services to
enforcement, that 1t would be we'll to
call for volunteers and that great
care should be exercised in selecting
the enforcement agents.
So much for advice, or for part of
the advice. Recently another adviser
declared that the clergymen of the
land. they having been instrumental
in bringing about prohibition should
see that it is enforced. And while the
advice is being so freely handed out
how would this do? Violating the
law being crime. why should not
every agency whose duty it is to ap-
prehend criminals. every agency
which assumes to uphold law and
order, every good citizen, regard it a
personal obligation to enforce the
prohibitory as well as the other laws?
We've all got something nightly to
be ashamed of il we don't aid in
maintaining respect for the laws Of
the land.

BUT NOT RASHLY

Ones sense would have to go con-
trary to evidence thus far presented
To assume this country is about to
take over E,urope's financial burdens,
that our bankers are about to make
a great loan to Germany without as
ccrtaining what the conditions may
be. Any rumors to that effect may
temporarily affect the value of the
German mark but can have no last
ing value.
On the other hand there is much
evidence that our national admin
stration as we'll as the bankers and
business men realize that something
should be done in the near future to
relieve the lettering financial condi-
ton in Europe. The people, too, I'M
doubleday have grown in the con-
seriousness OF ncighborly relations
with the peoples across the water and
more fully than ever before appreci-
r,u that widespread bankruptcy
would affect us over here. would i'm
pair markets for our productions.
We are in the mood to do what we
should do. II we may only determine
what that is. Under the level head
ed administration Of our foreign at
fairs with which this country is ex-
ceptionally blessed at this time we
may be assured that care will be
used in making this determination
and prudence be used in applying q
remedy. This too, though it un-
this time in seeking a way in which

ton Of paid bills and other family
documents. Mr.. Lanes amazemcnt
was complete for he was wholly un-
aware of the existence of any money
in the drawer, the treasure hoard
evidently having been secreted by a
maiden aunt who died a number of
years ago. The tattered bills in tens
