In the course of his note the pre-
mler said "the French government
counts upon the good will of the Ger
man government and upon that of all
authorities" but this of course was
merely diplomatic phrase. As a mat
ter OF fact the Germans announced
that every difficulty possible would be
placed In the way Of the French en-
glneers. The coal syndicate led the
way by removing Its headquarters and
all Its documents to Hamburg. The
chambers of commerce of Essen and

moving away. At this writing the at

that II war does not follow, Frances
action will eventually lead to more
conflicts. drowning humanity in blood
and running what remains of European
civilization after the World war;"
Which sounds queer coming from a
gang of Bolsheviki who have drowned
their own country Ia blood and
brought 1t to the verge of utter ruin.
AS for Russia's intentions, here Is
what Trotzky. minister of war, said
recently: "When France invades the
Ruhr Frances ally. Poland. may de-
eide to march with her to crush Ger
many. If such Is the case. doubt
that Russia will refrain from taking
part" Bolshevik interest in Germany
Is based on the belief of the Russians
that Germany will be the next COM
munist state.

Turkey agrees that England shall have
exclusive exploitation of the oil fields.
This, If true, removes the chief OBJ
stacle to peace. The Turks have
agreed that the Greek patriarch may
remain in Constantinople II he aban-
dons all political and administrative
activities. 1t has practically been de-
cided that some 100000 Moslems now
residing In the Hellenic peninsula shall
be removed to Turkey. and that about
100000 Christians now In Turkey shall
be taken to Greek territory. This CON-
pulsory migration will entail great
hardshlps, but the conferees believe 1t
peace in the Near East. The Greeks
in Constantinople and the Moslems In
western Thrace, II Is understood, will
not be disturbed Much time was
spent last week In trying to devise
formula for judicial guarantees for
foreign residents in Turkey that would
be acceptable to the Turks.
G ENATOR REED of Missouri is
~ making himself very prominent of
late. His was the resolution calling
for the recall of the American troops
from Germany, and he followed II by
urging that complete severance from
European entanglements" be achieved
by the recall of Roland w. Boyden,
our unofficial member Of the repara-
lions commission. On Wednesday
Reed came forward again with a Wig
orous speech In support of his resolu-
ton requesting the President to open
negotiations with the British and
acquisition by the United States OF
the British and French West Indies.
I'VE are getting our troops out Of
Europe" said Senator Reed. LET US
hope that we are getting ourselves
out of European entanglements and
European disputes and problems. l
think this an exceedingly appropriate
time to take preliminary step look
ing toward the getting of foreign ma
lions out of American waters and the
removal of the guns of foreign nations
from possessions where they COM
mand the passages of the sea which
are vital to the commercial welfare of
our country and doubly vital In case
of hostillties."
London correspondents say there is
reason to believe the British govern
ment might seriously consider such a
ton of the Islands approved.

ing qualities which mount the heights
Of Righteousness love, the
hunger for adventure, the delight in
beauty, daring, curiosity-all these
things which add most to the strength
and charm Of human nature are also
to be found wandering adrift through
the sloughs of sin.

cause they've never had the desire or
courage to depart from the beaten
track of convention.
Such is the nature Of SHINING. The
statements seem simple; too obvious
almost, to be worth the writing. Yet
il those simple statements were once
accepted by society, and acted upon
shining would disappear in a genera
ton and the world would be healed
The sinners would stop being so dis
couraged. The saints would stop be-
ing so inflated. They'd get together
on a common platform and help each
other. The brotherhood Of man"
would come at last. But until these
facts are accepted, that term must
continue to be but fanciful slogan
for the idealists.
Since that Utopia hasn't come. since
sin does rage and most Of US rage
with it, what's the best way to get
out Of the goat class and get in with
the sheep?
Most folks do want to graduate
from the goats. They want to be
good. But the old sin hangs around
their necks. How shall we be rid Of
it? BY repentance? Repentance is
so highly thought of among the elect
that to doubt it's efficacy is to risk
ones social standing. Well, have
very little to risk, SO here goes.

T THINK very poorly Of repentance
i as usually practiced. All sinners
should repent, of course, repent thor
oughly. But the process should be
as brief as possible. You should take
all the time you wish in debating
the pros and cons OF the situation
with yourself. Don't repent impul-
sively. Be sure you want to repent.
Convince yourself thoroughly, until
your viewpoint is permeated with the
conviction that your present view
point is bad and doesn't pay. Then,
when you've reached that point, re-
pent. Be sorry, say you're sorry. and
then forget about the whole sad busi-
ness as quickly as possible.

letter from the U. S. dept.
of Agriculture at Washington,

part of it as follows:
Dear Sir: Among the various
problems allotted to this bureau is
included that Of rat control. There
is constantly growing demand for
relief from the depredations Of rats
which indicates an awakened realiza-
ton of the great economic import
ance Of controlling these pests"
Then the letter goes on to say that
the dept is conducting publicity
campaign to try and get anti-rat
movements started all over the coun-
try and then the letter winds up like
the following:
This campaign is proving success
full, but additional posters and press
material are greatly needed and we

prove a valuable addition to this
work and should you feel inclined to
contribute it would be very much ap-
preciated."

that some of my best friends has
