These hremen may have de-

Of that we do not know, nor does

their right to resign and seek 9TH

notice, but FlREME.N and PO-

They hold the lives and welfare
of women and children in their

the entire community.
We do not deny the right of
labor to organize and to use its
only weapon-that of resigning or
quitting en- mass, but this right
cannot be extended to police and
hremen, any more than to soldiers
and sailors.

JUDGES. The last election in Germany
was regarded in many quarters as a
menace to the peace of the world.
The Nationalist victors had been
chosen on an impossible platform of
definace to the obligations of Ger
many and the sentiment of the world
If their paper program had been
carried out it would have meant
war, the suicide of Germany, and
the destruction of Europe.
The only possible excuse for the
election of the Nationalist was that
they were personally intelligent men
perhaps the most intelligent group
of natural leaders left in Germany.
Once in power, under responsible
ity, they used their brains to face
facts. The result is that, out of a
party of defiance, we have the first
fruitful step of Cancellation.

Gen. Lee Born After
Burial of His Mother

The recent one hundred and
first anniversary of the birth OF
General Robert E. Lee recalls the
little known fact that he was born
more than a year after his mother
had been buried. This historical
incident was recently recounted
in the columns of the Southern
Star, and it furnishes the world
with one of the most astonishing
cases of reviviscence on record.
The facts as related by the South
ern Star follow.
General Lees mother was by no
means an entirely healthy woman
and the physician at Stanford, Va,
the home of Henry Lee, Light
Horse Harry, was kept in constant
attendance. Mrs. Lee suffered
from. catalepsy, and during a pro-
longed trance she was pronounced
dead. The body was prepared for
interment,. and the morning of the
third day after her supposed death,
the remains were laid in the family
vault, in the graveyard Of that pref
ty little village.
Members of the family made
frequent visits TO the vault and
while the sexton was cleaning up
and arranging some flowers to be
placed on the caskets, he heard
a faint voice, as though someone
calling for assistance. Of course,
the old man was somewhat alarm
ed, but as he had seen many years
of service in the Getty of the dead"
he did not leave the vault. He
listened closely and the voice was
distinctly heard again. Becoming
satisfied the voice came from with
in the casket, he at once set to
work and opened it, discovering
Mrs. Lee was alive. Releasing the
poor woman from her awful fate,
assistance was soon sommoned and
within a short time she was safe
in bed at home.
Mrs. Lees recovery was slow,
but she did regain good health, and
little more than a year after she
was buried alive her youngest son,
Robert E., was born, and thus
came into the world one of her
bravest men.

The real test well come on the
disarming of France. The new past
removes every excuse for the pres
ent staggering military burdens OF
France, unless it is the excuse of
confidence in the pact itself.
If France will not trust the agree
ment, no one else will rely on it.
If France does trust it, disarma-
ment will follow. Then Europe, for
the first time in history, is safe,
and the new era of mankind begins
to be reality.
And fortunately, very practical
considerations urge France to rea.
sonableness. France in statistically

prospective expenditures are beyond
