EUROPE in NEW
PEACE MOVEMENT

Paris.-Europe made falteripg but
definite step toward peace when
Messrs. Chamberlain and Herriot
came to a practical understanding
which in high political circles is eX-
pected to be the basis Of future
agreement binding France, England,
Belgium and Germany in mutual
security pact under the auspices of
the League of Nations.
Chamberlain told Premier Herriot
that England was vitality interested in
such pact, but believed that 1t should
have much wider scope than a more
defensive alliance. 1t is understood
that Chamberlain preached the sub
ject of mutual supervision of arma-
ments, practically intimating that
England was willing to guarantee
Frances Rhine frontier provided
France was willing to give strong as
surances in regard to her aviation
program, the extent of which has been
seriously worrying England.
Chamberlain maintained that Eng
lands refusal to guarantee the from
tiers of Poland was based on the be-
lief that this was matter for the
League of Nations.
Chamberlain's interview with Pre-.
mier Herrlot was marked by great
cordially on both sides.

ON EDITORIALS IN
MORGAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT

Editor Democrat:-I have been
tempted several times lately to send
you note commenting upon the ed
itorials of your paper There have
been several especially good ones. In
the last issue to reach US, you your
self comment upon editorials and
their making. Hence / thought at
this time / dared say something OF
commentator. Let no one beguiie
you into using canned" ones. Your
swn are more apt; more personal
and better done. They have been
excellent.
We were much interested in the
very well written account of the lee
ture on corn. More of that sort Of
thing should be of interest to all,
and it was good reading. Doubtless
the paper contains too much gossip
of limited interest. Such occasions
cannot be helped, but of such pa
pers as the recent issues (and in
fact most issues, but particularly
these) we Morgan countyites may
we'll be interested and proud.
We are enjoying the usual sun
shine, flowers and birds. The pansy
beds-many of them containing
thousands of plants, are the chief
attraction at the moment, although
there are perhaps 200 different
kinds of flowers in luxuriant bloom.
The orange trees farther north we1

Christmas eve, but those about here
escaped.
One of my McConnelsville neigh
bors recently made me very jealous
by writing us of the fine skating you
have had on the river. We have
discussed frequently how very beau
tiful these heavy SHOWS must have
made the hills and the valley. But
perhaps if we were there when it is
SO cold, we would be wishing for
the warm salt water in which to
swim.
Mother joins me in sending gooc
wishes. Sincerely, Esther L. Gate

whence sprang the man who has
made America immortal in the
hearts of humanity.
On October, 1919. John w Davis,
then ambassador to Great Britain,

little English town.
The inscription reads: "In this

This was the first monument
erected to Lincoln on European

ground contains memorial to

philosopher; the political martyrs

to hear one word-and one word
