The Watch on the Rhine.
There is some debate as to the i'm
mediate removal OF the American ar
my of occupation now in Germany.
The policy OF the U. S. not to be mixed
I'D in the present trouble between
Germany and France would seem to
indicate the need of immediate with
drawal of the American soldiers from
, the scene OF the possible conflict and
on the other hand a sudden abandon
ment of their position there might be
construed as partisan If the choice
were left to the doughboys themselves
they would be sure to stay on. hey
have learned to enjoy thheir military
life there and the kindly treatment that
if accorded them by the Germans, the
splendid wealth they enjoy from their
20 American dollars when exchanged
into its fabulous worth as 3OU,ooo
marks. and not least the domestic ties
that MANY have formed with German
brides. until the last thing they are
now fitted for is jobless civilian lite
at home and style OF living as chan
qed as that of a princes to a pau
per's. Uncle Sam has been rich IN
dulgent guardian to them and to be
mustered out and thrown on their own
resources will be, for them, like being
disinherited
Dump All the Money Into the Sea.
And give every man a job for six
days in the week" is the remedy again
proposed by Henry Ford to a delega-
ton of international labor leaders Wis
iting him and his plant at Detroit
lately. Let the people OF the world
once get the idea that they can make
their own prosperity and this talk
about unstable conditions will cease"
One can take such assertions from
Ford with the more acceptance as it
is known that he positively practices
what he preaihes and that up to the
present hsi demonstrations have been
unqualified successes in all the var
ious industrial lines undertaken,
Chinese Eggs, Not China Eggs
All thhese years we have been offer
ing our hens a surprise in the matter
OF China egg. We have one coming
to us in the shape of fact concern
ing Chinese eggs, of which an astoun-
ding number were carried into Europe
this Year, even from 900 miles back
inland from Shanghai. Two big ocean
liners from London and LIVERPOOL
were seen landing their cargoes not
long before the holidays. The eggs are
! broken from theis shells and canned
one dozen to the can and two dozen
cans to the crate. Why do the British
come so far for eggs? Cheapness OF
course. SOC hundred in what they
pay. But is it not strange that a coun.
try conspicuous for its famines should
exprt food of such value to Europe
However strange it seems, China ex.
ports more eggs than any other coun-
try in the world.
