A new dance craze is sweeping the
country. 1t is called the Coco.
The only trouble with it is the fact
that a lot of room is needed in
which to perform successfully. 1t
involves a side-swiping foot move
ment that has a disastrous effect
should it connect with a passing
shin in transit. Said movement
personifies that of a disgruntled mule
stepping out of a twisted harness.
The double edged swords affixed to
the hubs of Roman war chariots
were not so demoralizing as the Co.

has been squeezed out of recognition

Reforms must come from within,
is the old saying. Motorists who are
desecrating the landscape by pilfer-
ing flowers, fruit blossoms and even
trees must be stopped in their
wantonness by other motorists. This
new motorists organization has a
gigantic task ahead of it. 1t must
educate the motoring public to a
keener sense of stewardship over the
beauties of camp sites and roadsides.
The national headquarters of the
organization are besieged with in
formation as to how communities
may work to eradicate the all too
prevalent evil. But is has been for
the little town of Moorehead to show
the way in actually getting going.
Alliteratively speaking, for pure pub
lie spirtedness, Moorehead must be

The reply of the Italian Govern

This has consistently
been the attitude of Mussolini. The
French Government also, has taken
much the same position. 1t is easy
to understand. On paper and
automatically. the demonstration is
perfect. Wipe out the debts, and
by an equivalent sum you at once
cut down the amount of German
reparations. Demand payment of
the debts, and you inevitably add by
so much to the amount which Ger
many must pay. @. E. D. Nothing
could be heater.
The problem. however, is as much
political as economic. This is
especially the case so far as concerns
the United States. Various European
public men are begging the Amer
lean Government to call or go into
a genera economic conference for
the purpose of bringing order into
the troubled finances Of Europe. But
it is certain that the United States
would at present not consent even
to confer about the foreign debts due
to this country. One enthusiastic
Frenchman, NJ. Loucheur. has been
assuring his countrymen that Presi-

abandonment of war debts" This is
rather more foolish than most of the
idle speculation about what the new
President will do. A financial dis

TURN OF THE TIDE OF WAR

That the war was really won on
the fields of Champagne five years
ago this month. in a dramatic battle
that escaped it's full share of popular
attention at the time and that has
been nearly forgotten since. is the
writer who tells vivid story of this
little-known conflict in McClure's
Magazine for August
The triumphant resistance of the
French troops and of our own
Rainbow Division under leader
ship of General Gouraud-a re-
cent visitor to the United States
really gave the coup de grace to Pan
Chalons offensive of July 1918 was
launched.
The author Of this article, George
F. Milton, Jr. writes: When the
fury of that assault had passed, the
Germans found that at last they had
met their masters. After the
Champagne there were no more Ger
man drives; instead, every day from
July 18th to the Armistice an Allied
force was battering away at the
enemy. thinning his reserves, captur-
ing his cannon. driving him back"
To the strategy of General
Gouraud, the one armed hero who
was Americas visitor this summer,
to the French poilus. and to the
American doughboys of the Rainbow
Division goes the glory of the
victory. he adds.
SO confident was the German High
Command of the success of it's plans
to smash the French at Suippes,
take Chalons and encircle Rheims,
that it had constructed a big concrete
watchtower near Somme-Py, from
which the Kaiser and the Crown
Prince expected to watch the break
through. Instead, they saw their
last great effort smashed
