The French Over in Germany

AS striking feature in newspaper
accounts of current events it has
been interesting to remember that
France is trying to pay back in
kind for what the Germans did in
France in the early seventies, as
an aftermath of war. 1t is perfectly
natural for the French to feel in
clined to "pay back" The Germans
showed the mthe way-fifty years
ago-how to make a conquered ma
ton feel bad, and complaining and
Inundated. AS an abstract ques-
ton the French have as much lib
erty and as much occasion for raid
ing Germany in 1928 as Germany
had to enter F'rance-take over
Alsace and Lorraine and overrun
Paris in 1901, and get away with
it.
Germany told the French people
they must also pay indemnity, and
they paid on demand. France has
decided to collect the indemnity
which Germany has failed to bring
forward, and it is more than likely
that France will also collect from
Germany the cost of collecting the
delayed indemnity. 1t will be a tidy
sum when the balance sheet is pub
lished to the world you may be sure.
But this question comes up, docs
this method please the civilized
world at larger" Are are various
nations to do as the aboriginal saw
ages did, fight back and demand
pay, in kind, as a remedy for inter
national grievances and national
quarrels after an armistice is de-
clared?
If so, there can be no world peace
to the end of time. France offers,
in explanation, that Germany fail
ed to pay, and like sheriff's sale,
the money must be collected accord
ing to common law methods and the
French army is acting in the ca
pacity of sheriff at the present writ
ing to collect the fl. fas.
AS reminiscence, it is well to re-
call that the United States in 1894
sent a small army down into Mexico
to pull things our way and after
bombarding Vera Cruz we concluded
to quit and come home. AS a visi-
tor in Washington City, I occupied
seat in the senate gallery one day
and saw Senator Shively, of Indiana,
since deceased, come into the senate
chamber and all business was halt
ed until he had read a telegram an
nouncing the fall of Vera Cruz, also
the killing of eighteen American
marines and the escape of resident
Americans to some friendly German
battleships anchored in this notable
Mexican harbor, and we had plung-
ed them into war.
So far as it extended it was an
invasion to Mexico and in the years
to come, Mexico, if she 'can spell
able" will feel it a privilege or a
duty to fire across the Rio Grande
and lombard Vera Cruz, or maybe
Los Angeles, on the Pacific coast, in
an effort to ''pay back" or perhaps
collect money from the United
States.
When Germany recoups her losses.

And England has not been overrun
by foreign soldiery, for a consider

England has collected her overdue
notes from Germany by taking over
lands, quietly, known as German
possessions, where there was a dead
calm prevailing.
There we see the difference. AS a.
result, England will not overrun
Germany. Germany will not attempt
to overrun England. 81

If trouble you would keep away.
-Bowser the Hound.
For several days Johnny and
Polly Chuck were undisturbed and
during that time they finished their
new home Tt was made just as
their other homes had been made,
with more than one doorway. This
one had three. OF course, two of
them were hidden. That is, there
was no telltaIe sand around them.
All the sand had been pushed out
at the entrance between the roots
of the little tree. In 'front.' of this
was a nice mound of sand, where
Johnny and Polly could sit and take
sun baths on pleasant days.
|, OF course, they knew that sooner
or later some one would discover
that 'sand pile, and then the secret
of their new home would be out.
But so long as their other door
ways remained secret they didn't
care. They had to have that pile Of
sand in front of one doorway. There
was no way out Of it. If you dig
a hole the sand you take out Of it
has got to be put somewhere.
Johnny and Polly couldn't carry the
sand away. so there was nothing to
do but to pile it up in front of their
doorway. But they knew that none
of their enemies could get in at
that doorway, because of the roots
of the tree at the foot of which they
had dug>it. So they fell quite
safe.
1t was several days after he had
discovered Johnny Chuck up in
tree before Farmer Browns Boy
again had a chance to go down On
the Green Meadows. VAS he started9
down the Long Lane he remem-
bered how Johnny Chuck and Polly
Chuck had turned up the Long
Lane, and how he had guessed that
they were looking for a place foe
a new home. Il hope they have
made their home somewhere along
the Long Lane" Thought he. 81
would like to watch them this sum
mer, especially when they have a
family, and it will be lot easier
if they are somewhere near.
SO as he went down the Long
Lane Farmer Browns Boy kept
sharp watch for signs of a new
Chuck home. Bowser the Hound
was trotting ahead of him. Sud
denly BoWser darted into the
bushes at one side, and his master
knew by the way he did it that he
had caught sight of some one.
Bowser had. Johnny Chuck had
run across the Long Lane just as
BoWser came along. Johnny had
been getting his breakfast on some
young clover on the other side OF
the Long Lane. He hadn't seen
Bowser and Farmer Browns Boy |
coming when he started for home. |
Had he seen them he probably !
would have squatted down flat right |
where he was.
Of course, there was nothing for
Johnny to do but to dive head-firSt |
down into his new home, and of |
cred that new home right away. BY |
the time Farmer Browns Boy got |
there Bowser was digging franti- |
cally. But his digging wasn't get |
ting him anywhere. All he coulI |
do was to make the sand of John
ny's doorstep fly. He couldn't make
that hole any bigger. The roots
of a young tree were in the way.
This proved how wisely Polly |
Chuck had chosen the place for
that doorway.
When Farmer Browns Boy came
u pand saw what Bowser was do
ing he called him away. Bowser
didn't want to come. No, sir, Bow

dent, Jefferson Davis, president during the
War Between the States, as all the others
are writing about James Madison, our
fourth president of the U. S. A.
Jefferson Davis was born in Kentucky
June 8, 1908, and was educated in good
schools in Mississippi. When he was 16
years old he went to West Point Military
academy. He was elected a member of
congress and he served seven years in the
United States army. doing service in the
west, and at the hattie Of Buena Vista.
He helped General Taylor in the war with
Mexico. After the war he was senator from
Mississippi and he was secretary of war
when Franklin Pierce was president. He
died in 1889, beloved and honored by a
grateful nation. Write to your cousin,

when he was treated to the unusual
