OVERWHELMINGLY FOR FRANCE

Two striking polls recently have
been taken to ascertain American SEN
timent toward French occupation of
the Ruhr. One was a poll of editors
of Associated Press newspapers thru
out the United States and was con-
Quoted by "The Spokesman-Review,"
of Spokane, Washington. Out of 332
who answered, 239 voted ''emphati-
call yes in approval of the French
invasion of the Ruhr Valley. EN-
phatically no. was voted in So; "a
were conditionally favorable; 4 were
undecided.
The other was a poll of Yale stu
dents and showed a result roughly
paralleling the editorial figures.
''Three to one" in support of France
was the way the result was announced.
"The Spokesman-Review's' figures
show an even larger percentage be
hind France if the "conditionally f&v-
orable" and 'undecided' voters are
left out of consideration. The result
is overwhelming in both cases.
We think observation confirms the
view that these polls fairly represent
the considered opinion of America.
The pro-German press has done its
utmost. Lying propaganda against
France has worked under forced draft.
The vast majority of Americans share
the view expressed recently by Nh.
Bernard NJ. Baruch, that France, I'M
der the circumstances, could do moth
ing else and that what she is doing
will expedite and not retard a reason
able settlement.
Incidentally, Mr.. Baruch sets an eX-
cellent example in discussing fairly
and candidly the possible basis of a
settlement. He argues that at is be-
coming clear that Germany can pay a
sum of approximately S12,500,00O 900
in reparations" in addition to what
she has already paid. Both England
and France are already in agreement
upon a figure close to this. Mr.. Ba-
ruch further suggests that security be
given to France by means of a pact
of the European powers similar to the
Pacific four-power pact. Mr.. Baruch
speaks as able and impartial student
of international affairs and his views
are a genuine aid toward a solution.
If the partisans of Germany in
America would approach the facts of
the Ruhr invasion with equal open
ness Of mind they would do far more
good for the cause of Germany than
they are doing by their present cam
paign of vituperation against France,
already rejected by the overwhelming
majority of Americans.-New York
Tribune.

STOKES A FALLEN IDOL

Former Gov. Edward C. Stokes,
whose home is in Millville, and a
banker in Trenton, vas the political
idol of the ministers of the NJ. +.
Church for many years but has been a
fallen idol the past four years.
Some members of the Conference
with a patriotic spirit and the John
Wesley's spirit that the World Is my
parish and l would form a League
with every soldier Of Jesus Christ
were greatly impressed with President
Wilson'S making the League of Ma
tions desired to pass a resolution
backing him up while leading the
world diplomats in Europe in the
winter of 1919, but Mr.. Stokes hurried
to the Conference and used his lnfiu-
ence for narrow partison reasons to
keep the ministers from proclalmlng
John Wesley's principles for an Inter
national League.
Mr.. Stokes was considered a leader
of the prohibition forces but has been
falling from grace the past three
years. As a fnancier he has been
brought into connection with the
LIQUOR interests. At n time fifty
million dollars were invested In the
LIQUOR interest in New Jersey. Hun
dreds held stocks and bonds of brew
cries and saloons. Gov. Edwards and
Stokes banks may have been tied up
with liquor securities.
Mr.. Stokes has come out against
the Volstead law which was enacted
bv Congress to enforce the 18TH
amendment. He has been asked to de-
bate the issue with Wayne B. Wheeler,
the ablest lawyer in the nation on
liquor laws, but Mr.. Stokes has de-
clined.

H0LDUP men TAKE
Cash RETURN EMPTY
PURSE TO VICTIM

Inc Augusta police have been
| quietly working on a little case for
the past two days, but Wednesday
evening had been unsuccessful in
determining the identity of the two
men in an automobile, who held I'D
James f. White of this city, at the
point of gun on the lower end Of
Sewall street, Monday evening and
robbed him of So in cash.
,IhWe were several features Of the
alleged holdup that appeared some
what questionable to the local auth
critics and the circumstances of the
case were not given out until yes
terday. About 7.40 Monday evening,
Mr.. White who is employed at the
Prescott livery and sales stable was
returning toward Augusta on lower
SeWan street near the Gannett
woods. He had been to the house
of Mr.. Conner on Charles street
and as he approached the point
where the drive from Ganneston
Park intersects with Sewall street,
an automobile came out of this
woods road and stopped on Sewall
street ahead of him.
one of the men in the car got out
and asked Mr.. White for directions
as to the way-to Waterville. White
gave the man the desired information
and in the meantime the other occu-
pant of the car got out of the ma
chine and as he joined his compan-
ion. one of them pointed a revolver
at White and demanded that he give
them what money he had on his
person. AS White passed over his
pocketbook, one of the men re-
moved the contents, some S. in bills,
and returned the empty purse to
him.
The pair of holdup men then
jumped into their machine and drove
away in the direction of Augusta.
There We're no lights burning on
the automobile, and as the spot
where the robbery occurred is very
dark. it was impossible for the vic
tim to see the registration number
or ascertain what kind of an auto
mobile they had. White reported the
matter to the local police at about
$50 and described the two men as
both wearing blue frocks and over
allS and caps. The taller of the two,
who was also quite heavy set. had q
moustache and wore a light gray
cap. the other who was shorter and
stOcky had on Il dark cap.
Officers We're dispatched to the
scene as soon as the matter was re-
ported to the police and a lookout
was kept for the appearance of men
answering the description on Water
street or in any of the restaurants.
No clues as to who the robbers were
or where they went could be uncov-
cred Monday night. and further in
YcStgation Tuesday and yesterday
leaves the case as much of a mys-
terry as ever.
