power and influence, the French are
blindly certain that If America had
continued to sit loyalty in peace coun-
c1ls with her war comrades, retaining
full-fedged membership in the Repa-
rations Commission instead of the non
committing roll of an unofficial OBJ
server, and generally thrown her
weight into allied scales-if the Unit
ed States had done these things,
France is confident that Europe today
would not present the aspect of chaos
and hopelessness into which it has
drifted.
Would Sue for Desertfon.
That. in a nutshell, is the French
case against America. II La Belle
France could hale Uncle Sam into the
Paris divorce court, now so popular
with Incompatible Americans, she
would sue him on the grounds of de-
sertion. The specific allegations she
would level against him are those
just enumerated. There are others,
but the major indictment is compre-
hended by those above set forth. Be-
cause Great Britain has played Ger
many's game" and because America
has basely deserted Europe. the
French view is that the war, though
bloodlessly. is still going on. No Big
Berthas are sheiling Paris, or German
bombing planes raining destruction
from aloft, or Frenchmen battling in
the trenches before Verdun. War in a
combatant sense has ceased, but your
typical Frenchman considers himself
still faced by a revengeful foe-by an
unrepentant. Quibbling, defaulting
Germany, defiantly determined to es-
cape her obligations He blames Amer
lea, along with Britain. for the pro-
longation of that paralyzing state of
affairs. His complaint carries with it
an undisguisea tribute to our power
and authority as an international ar
bitter. He is persuaded that America
has but to nod, or frown, to bring re-
calcitrant Germany to terms. and the
Frenchman is bitterly disappointed
that since 1919 we have not brought
ourselves to make such Jovelike ges-
lures. He wonders what has become
of the Lafayette spirit, and whether
the memories of Rochambeau and De
Grasse are potent only as themes for

chamber of Commerce dinners in

reality little less than exasperated-
over our invincible aloofness from
postwar problems, her emotion over
another matter is even more vehe-
ment. That is the matter of the

lar. primarily responsible for the cheap
ness of the franc. They consider US, in
consequence, largely responsible for
their high cost of living. They have de-
1uded themselves into the obsession that

responsible for the deprecated exchange

and French emotions are in a corre-
spending state Of desolation.
These lamentations resound through
France despite the fact that prosperity
prevails. The times are good. There is
no unemployment. Every factory Chin

papers and by the politicians, except
when somebody by accident or in
temper blurts out his real feelings.
Now and then you encounter a
Frenchman who asserts with pa
triotic .fervor that France, owing the
money, intends to pay it-some day
IL generous refunding scheme is
worked out. But you encounter many
more Frenchmen who, though they
may not think it aloud. are per-
suaded that the debt ought not to be
paid at all. either i'm part or in whole
and who do not remotely imagine
that it ever will be. Men of the class
OF M. Herriot and M. Poincare and
other statesmen of their stature, do
not subscribe to this doctrine of re-
pudiation. 1t is certain that NJ. JUS
serand, the veteran French Ambassa-
dor to the United States, who is now
in Paris reacquainting himself with
French public sentiment. does not
sanction such a thought. But Vox Pop
ull has little or no moral scruples
whatever about the American debt,
or the mountain of unpaid interest
that is accommodating upon il from day
to day. The plain people of France, If
they could be polled, would be found
arguing somewhat along these lines:
France, Great Britain. Belgium,
in the great war pool. America put
in her money. We have not got OF =
lives back and shall not get them
back. Why should America expect to
get her money back?"
Reasons for NOn-Payment.
The French advance this plea with
that shrug of the shoulders and out
stretched arms and palms that consti-
tute their inimitable national gesture
They do so in the spirit of men and
women who submit an unanswerable
argument 1t would be easy to refute
their reasoning, but that is not the
purpose of these Impressions which
aim at nothing but the frank presen-
tation of the French view. That view
has been stated with accuracy when
it is added that another reason why
the French think they ought not to be
expected to pay America is that Ger
many has not paid France. The

French make the same retort to Great
Britain, to which they owe more than
they owe America; and, of course, be-
sides the Germans, who have paid
them nothing, there are the Russians,
the Italians, the BelgianA the Ru-
manians, the Poles and other allies
who were financially accommodated in
Paris and to date have not liquidated.
Like the British. the French think
there ought to be a 'round-table" set
tlement of war debts. What they, in
blunt Anglo-Saxon. mean is that there
ought to be an all-around cancellation,
with gold-burdened America taking the
lead in the noble process Of wiping the
slate clean. 1t would be impossible to
exaggerate the depth of French popular
feeling about the debt, though it is not
publicly articulate. 1t has eaten into
the national soul. Even though we are
not pressing France for payment the
knowledge that we may some day do SO
oppresses her. and the French pater-
familias gnashes his teeth over even
the remote prospect of the higher taxes
he may then have to pay. The French
finance minister who emulates Mr.. Bald
win and squares accounts with Amer
ica-on almost any terms-will have to
ride cyclonic storm Of public resent
ment.

an Hour-A Real November
Record.

The story of Old Boreas on ram
page and how he cut up capers last
Sunday night couldn't be told in
words. He came Justify out of the
northwest, beginning his advent in
mid-afternoon. increasing his fury as
night came on, and before 10 o'clock
he was -heaving his mightiest blasts
and bowling things over that happen
ed to be in his path that were NOV
able, such as decayed boughs of trees,
loose shoingles, paper, loose signs,
leaves, ct cetera. 1t was the old soldier
of the sky's first visit of the winter
and even before the last days of au
great, for he blew his impatient guns
like blasts from the cannon's mouth.
The wind from his nostrils fairly
howled through the woods of the Pali-
sades and shivered house blinds till
they ratified in terror at the unusual
cutting up. At times there was a rear
of renewed onslaught in the dis
tance, then with a resounding blast
huge trees swayed and their boughs
thrashed the moonlit night till they
looked like so many fighting demons.
And the wind bore upon its breath the
icy. frosts of Boreas as though he was
out in mood of revenge over such
an array of wonderful rainless days
that had passed these six weeks
agone. And the people walked up
Monday morning shivering in their
beds, those that slept. for many did
not, so bowling mad had been the

Rapid in Year of

When Herschel Kline was years
old he had that desire of most young
sters to be a policeman. His folks
declared he must find some vocation
with greater financial returns,
But Kline couldn't see 1t that way.
He did follow various work from a
farm hand to selling high priced
automobiles. Things were going very
nicely. and Kline considered to be
up in the money" in the car busi-
ness.
Yet during his spare time, Kline
couldn't refrain from hanging about
police stations in Omaha and smaller
Nebraska towns. He admits he got a
thrill.
He made up his mind years ago
that he liked police work. Commits
sioner Henry w. Dunn knew of
klines ambition and decided to give
him a chance. That was q year
ago. Kline pounded the pavements"
for a while. He was transferred then
to the garage department as driver.
