Who Won the War?

As soon as the armistice was declared the
question was raised as to who won the war!
America coming in at the last felt that she had
done so. Great Britain, after four years of strug-
gle felt that, but for her and her neyy the war
would have been lost. France bled white, but
fighting on, knew that without her Germany
would have won. Italy, with her glorious stand
on the Piave felt that hers was the decisive bat
tie. The truth is that they all won the war in
the military sense-for without any one the 9th
ers would have failed.
But is the war yet won? Germany was subject
ed to military defeat, but she has steadily re
fused to pay the penalty. She Is willing to under
20 ANYTHING sooner than pay-even revolution.
France, realizing this, holds grimly to her deter
mination to force payment at any cost. 1t was
France that was devastated and not Germany.
France has already paid more in PREPARATIONS
than Germany has, and feels that if she lets go
she will be compelled to pay all. Then Germany
will have won the war.
Great Britain, who suffered no devastation,
looks at the proposition from the cold business
standpoint. She is in need of Germanys trade.
the lack of which is responsible for her unem-
ployment problem. Her anxiety is to put Ger
many back on her feet economically, as speedily
as possible. She figures that new profits which
she would draw from German business would in
time offest the reparations account and would
Immediately start her wheels of industr.' moving
whereas at present, there are neither profits nor
reparations coming in. Germany herself, APP
proves of this view. 1t is the one she desires
above all TO have her creditors take to wipe
out the Preparations claim as a bad debt, as an
ugly dream, and to start afresh. 1t is what she
has been striving for from the day she signed
the Versailles treaty.
And vet if she did so what would become of
France? The reparations cannot be wiped out be-
cause they will have to be paid to somebody The
French territory was devastated. 1t will have to
be restored by one means or another. France is
actually doing it but expects to be recompensed
for il. If not, the burden will have to fall upon
the French people. There is no getting away
from that fact. The loss of British trade with
Germany, and the British unemployment prob.
lem, are not French problems. What France
wants to know is who is going to pay for the
damage done to French territory? She feels that
if she lets go Germany will have won the war!

The Anthracite Situation

On September first the anthracite coal agree.
ment between operators and workmen expires.
These interests have sought to get together
on a new agreement for the ensuing year and
have spent much time and considerable discus.
sion in the effort.
Mr.. Samuel d. Warmer Of the operators com.
mittee says, 1--WE did not break off the confer.
ence. The miners did. We intend to do all we
can TO prevent a strike"
Mr.. John l.. Lewis, Of the miners organization
says, 1--WE are not going TO ask that the confer.
ence be renewed, and if the operators do not give
us u conference before midnight, August 81
there will be no coal mined September l."
Mr.. John Hayes Hammond, chairman of the
United States coal commission says, "unless the
operators and miners do something within the
next day or two the next thing will be the com.
missions report to the president fixing the re-
sponsibility for failure to compose the differ.
ences of miners and operators"
In the interim the president has called a con-
ference of the governors of the states mostly af.
fected by an anthracite coal strike.
The supply OF this coal above ground nj this
date will answer the needs for the next four
months.
This is the attitude Of the parties mostly con.
cerned in the production of coal. The attitude
of those in need of the coal in the near future
is not reported. They will be heard from later.
Nobody wants n strike so they all say, but
nobody is making any great effort to avoid one.
The president has ample power to protect the
public interest and prevent suffering among the
people.
If the situation does not change and the opera
tors and miners settle their little affairs before
the pinch upon the public arrives. the president
Will act and there will be coal for those who
must have IL.
The public interest is above any private in.
terest or private disagreement. Mr.. COOLIDGE has
laid down this doctrine long ago as the Governor
OF a great state and he will proclaim il anew
as the president over t0rty-eight states

Holding to Vain Hopes

Great Britain and France seem determined
that the people of the United States shall as.
sumo some eleven billions of dollars of addition
al war burden. Under the Preparations plan now
being discussed in London and Paris, there is
one predominant feature-the United States and
Germany must pay. This country is evidently
expected TO forgive a large portion of all Of
the $s,500,00 900 owed us by the British and
French, which would mean of course the can
collation. of all other debts due this country.
For years the United States has been charged
with a policy of Isolation and of d~esertion of
our allies when most they needed our assistance.
For n while we were told that our duty was to
join the league of nations and enforce all of the
guarantees of the league covenant. When the
American people said by an overwhelming vote
that they wanted none of the league, we were
warned that the s11 ,0OO, 0 $1,000 owed tho Ameri.
can taxpayers by Europe could never be paid I'm
gold, and that any serious attempt to pay it
would bring chaos TO the debtor countries. More
recently Great Britain has signed an agreement
for eventual liquidation Of her share of the debt.
and France announces that n commission will
soon visit this country 10 make similar arrange.
ments. These nations announce n Willingness to
pay, yet their public men continue TO concoct
schemes having evasion Of the debts in view.

Green at the Business

a nicely dressed gentleman. who had
been spending quite a bit Of time
about the Star Clothing company
stating that he was waiting for a
car to take him to Parkerton, sud.
denly changed his mind and stuck a
big gun under Oscar Myland's nose.
telling him to throw up his hands
and deliver over what change he
had. This so frightened Myiand
that he rushed for the door yelling
for help and the would-be hold up,
disappeared around to corner Of the
building minus any addition TO his
bank roll. He evidently was n new
hand at the business. or having the
drop as he did. would not have let
the opportunity slip. as there were
no other customers in the store at
the time.
It was rather a close shave for
Myland. and quite lucky for him
that the holdup did not accidentally
pull the u on when he started for
the door.
