the widst Of several others and went
on a long journey for some Of the
precious fluid. Returning a little later

LONDON, July 1S.-Premier Poin-
care Of France has anticipated Pre-
mier Baldwin's proposed reparations
note by q speech at Senlis in which
he declares without reservations or
evasions France has come to the end
of all concessions she is prepared to
make.
He is emphatic in his determination
not to go back one inch from the
Ruhr occupation policy and all it
implies, and he sees no hope of settle
ment by other means. He lays stress
in his belief of Britain's honesty Of
purpose and expresses hgrief at the
thought that differences over this
momentous question Of reparations
cast even a shadow on Anglo-French
friendship, but in the end he is firm
In his purpose.
No Foundation for Hopes
. High hopes were entertained the
Baldwin government would in some
way or another not definitely put an
end to the deadlock Of the Ruhr and
reparations situations. Such hopes
never had any foundation in fact and
never can have as long as the French
people support Poincare's policy.
For this ferment of expectation the
government itself is largely re-
sponsible by suggesting that Baldwin
might succeed in bringing France
around where Bonar Law failed,
whereas in reality, as the Daily Elk
press pointed out at the time, his
only contribution to this subject was
new brand Of optimism"
Mustn't Blame Nation
Having set this note for themselves,
the ministers must not blame the
country if it exhibits some disappolnt-
ment now Poincare's speech has end
ed the high hopes Of the nation.
The reception of the British note
is now a foregone conclusion and
France will reply in a week from
now she intends proceeding against
Germany in the future exactly as in
the past.
Britain has two alternative courses
before her. First she can submit to
the French decision which will make
her recent action with its loud press
talk of retal1ing the lead in Europe
once more look rather ridiculous and
humiliating Second she can def
nitely break with France and con-
clude what must finally end in an
economic alliance with Germany
against a former ally.
This last proposition has only to be
stated markedly for all men to see how
impossible it would look to British
public opinion-at least for many
years to come.
Foreign Policy Bankrupt
II then these were the only alterna
tive courses the British foreign policy
would seem to be in a bad way, in
fact, practically bankrupt.
1. however, believe there is a third
and wiser plan open to British states
men whereby we need not quarrel
with nor be subservient to France nor
yet ally ourselves with Germany,
1t is to clear out of Europe and
while taking what we can get from
European markets devote our surplus
energies to the peaceful development
of the British empire.
France thinks she can successfully
settle her account with Germany by
her own methods.
Let her see to 1t.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A new
presidential boom for Hiram Johnson
as the compromise candidate between
Mr.. Harding and Senator La Toilette
was being built today upon the wreck
age Of the Republican defeat in Min
nesota.
Johnson's friends are not the only

seriously for the Republican nomina-

by La Toilette.
While there is no apparent basis
for assumption that a third party is
to be a certainty there is no doubt
that Republican leaders are giving
this possibility close and serious at

Boys Scouts to Re-register

The DEBORAH Boy Scout troop is
nearly ready TO re-register at the ma
tional headquarters. At present
there has been fifteen members re-.
gistered. Altho this is a good mum.
Der for this size city there is still
a chance for several boys to enter
the troop. The local organization
has been more or less. unsettled the
last six months but now is making
arrangements for profitable ana
pleasant meetings.
1t should be of interest to every
parent to see that their son become
a member of the local troop so that
he may be instructed in the many
things of interest to him offered in
the Boy Scout movement. Scouting
not only teaches the boy the habits
of birds and animals, the proper
method of taking care of himself
and his health on hike, o. in the
woods but it teaches him methods
of first aid, to take care of himself
in all ways; mainly honesty, the
proper way to live and loyalty to
those he comes in contract with.
The scouting movement is one OF
the best organizations in the world
to build the young man physically,
mentally and MORALLY. 1t teaches
clean thinking, clean living and to
keep clean habits.
A boy who has become twelve
years of age has an opportunity Of
entering the troop in Decorah at any
time but the members are anxious
70 get as many as possible to enter
now, before the re-registration list
is sent in.

Freedom TO the old man meant
cold, hunger and scanty care gener-

illustrates the point. An honest man
sees in the match the opportunity
for heat, warmth and a comfortable
meal. A criminal may see in the
match simply an element of destruc-
ton and he burns down a building.
