DANGER SPOTS

One Of the things which seems to
impress the observant tourist in Eu-
rope is the number Of political pow
der magazines" which remain on the
map of that continent. Before the
World War there were submerged mi
norities all over Europe. Russia and
Australia possessed a big share OF
them, and Germany also had some
sore spots Of the same kind. The
war changed the map Of Europe. 1t
satisfied the claims Of many Of the
minorities which were submerged be-
fore the great conflict but the vic
tors went further than this in re-
constructing the map and created a
lot of new submerged minorities. 1t
will not do to Judge their work too
harshly. Races are SO intermingled
in Europe that it would be difficult
to draw boundary lines to please
every nation, though doubtless some
improvements could be made on the
present status quo of Europe.
Along with the Versailles treaty
and as a part of it we got the League
of Nations. Like famous grand ALI
ances of the past, the League was de-
signed primarily to maintain the stat
us quo created by the war. The pur
pose of the less idealistic Of its spon-
sors was to preserve for the victors
in Europe the territory they had
gained during the war. If the League
should eventually grow into some
thing more than that and become a
factor for peace in Europe, all we'll
and good. No citizen Of the United
States will criticize any such happy
effect that it may have.
But this does not gainsay the fact
that it is just as important now as it
ever has been for Uncle Sam to stay
out of the League and its entangle-
ments, and to do business with or
through the World Court only with
proper and safeguarding reservations.
Just now the will of most of Europe
seems to be toward peace. There is
much brandishing of the sword in
Russia and the Reds are busy now
with military operations against Chi
ma, but so far as the nations Of west
ern Europe are concerned there seems
to be a genuine desire for peace.
But we must not forget that the
danger spots remain. They are pres
ent not only in Russia but in the sub
merged minorities in Rumania and
the Balkan states These questions
of boundaries are questions with
which the League of Nations may
properly have a great deal to do, but
they are questions with which Uncle
Sam has and should have nothing to
do. His mixing up in their adjudi-
cation would promote not the peace
of Europe but a hatred in Europe
against him for mixing in where he
had no real interest at stake.
1t is much better therefore that
America maintain its freedom of ac-
ton, promoting a program of peace
by mutual understanding and through
the force of enlightened public opin-
ion. Further than this we cannot go
with safety to ourselves and with ben
eft to the rest of the world. We can
do much more in case of a European
crisis in the role of disinterested
friend on the outside, than as a mem
Der of the feudal family.

The Kalispell DeMolay ball club
downed the Libby Pirates IL to 2 in
the first iIlter-city contest played on
the Griffin park groupnds Sunday af-
ternoon before small attendance of
fans.
The teams were fairly evenly
matched and the one-sided score was
no indication that the visiting team
was weak nor did it reflect on their
quality of playing. The boys here re-
ceived the breaks of the game ac-
counting for a number of their runs
1t is surprising to note on the score
sheet that the Libby chucker struck
out Is men as compared with II runs
made b ythe remaining 81 batters that
faced him. A. Private at short fea-
tured with number Of, difficult stops.
Libby's scoring came in the first
and fifth innings, both of which were
made by Pival, their pitcher. Local
scoring was more or less steady, when
runs were counted in every inning but
the third and fifth.
