RATHER THIN EXCUSE

One of the reasons given by the
allied delegates at Paris for non-pay-
ment Of the American claim for cost
of the army of occupation is that
Great Britain would have to pay the
costs of its army if German reparat-
ions We're diverted to iquidate the
American debt. People in this coun-
try fail to see the force Of that ar
gument The United States has had
to pay the .entire costs of the Amer
lean army ON the Rhine, amounting
to over $25O,000,000, while it is un-
derstood that practically all the ex-
pense of the allied forces has been
met by the German Preparations.

AUTO STRJK Els INJURED VET.
ERAN AND LEAVES HIM
IN THE ROAD

Thomas Brown, rs year old veteran
of the World War, was struck by an
automobile Thursday of last week
along the road between Fallsington
and Oxford Valley, Pa. The driver
Of the car sped away after striking
him, and left him lying helpless in
the road. He was later picked up by
another autoist and taken to st.
Francis Hospital, in Trenton.
Brown was wounded and she'll
shocked in France. He was receiving
treatment at the government hospital
on Grey's Ferry Road, Philadelphia.
1t was while taking walk that he
was struck by the unknown machine
in which there were four men.

A BREED OF BEASTS IN HUMAN
FORM

In one newspaper this week there
were two accounts of brutality
which is constantly growing in this
country, and which, if not checked,
will result in more deaths in the
same length Of time than occurred in
the World War.
In dse case criminal auto driver
struck q child, and sped away, leav-
ing the child dying. WHEN THE
CHILD WAS FOUND, APPEALS
WERE MADE IN VAIN TO FIVE
DIFFERENT AUTOISTS TO TAKE
THE CHILD TO A HOSPITAL.
BUT THESE FIVE CRIMINAL
AUTOISTS REFUSED TO DO THIS
DEED OF MERCY BECAUSE THE
BLOOD WOULD SOIL THEIR
CARSl
In the other case wounded veteran
Of the World War was taking walk
along the road when struck by an
auto containing four men going tow
ard Philadelphia The car sped away
leaving this broken man crumpled up
in the road.
The man or woman who strikes a
pedestrian and speeds away to avoid
detection is worse than a beast. There
may be some excuse for the accident
but there is no excuse for the cold
blooded cruelty of leaving their vic
TINS suffering in the road. And
the man or woman who refuses to
carry such victim to the hospital
because they don't want the blood te
spoil their cars, are in the same class
with the brute who struck them.
For the driver who is SO heartless
as TO refuse this little act of mercy
is of the same kind of makeup as
those who strike such victims and
leave them injured and dying i'm the
road. They are too contemplate
and pusillanimous to be even classed
with buzzards and pole-eats! Com.
pared to them "scum of the earth is
