FRANCE AT THE
PEACE TABLE
PATERSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union


TWO WEEKS before the signing
of the armistice that ended World
War I, on November IL, 1918, had
brief and informal interview with
Clemenceau, the French premier.
I had no prepared questions and was
not then permitted to use anything
he might say. One of the two or
three questions / asked was:
when the war ends, will France
support President Wilson'S an
nounced policies at the peace con-
ference?"
For just moment his eyes flashed
under those heavy brows and then
he replied very quietly:
SIN this war France has suffered
far more than any other nation. We
will collect The Boche will pay.
At the peace table American
idealism was to, and did, collide with
French realism. France, more than
America, dominated the peace con-
ference. Again American idealism
will collide with European realism.
This time it will not be France that
will name the peace terms. This
time it will be Russian realism that
will dominate. Insofar as eastern
Europe is concerned and eastern
Asia, should Russia enter tie war
against Japan, Russia will stake the
boundary lines. Self-preservation of
Russia, not self-determination of
peoples, will be the guiding factor.
Russia will take back much of what
she lost in the settlement of World
War I and in the war with Poland.
In that, it is my guess, she will
have the support of England. Joseph
Stain is a realist. There will be
no federation of small nations of
eastern Europe to threaten the Rus
sian bear.

Photo 100000 So. Miles

The U. S. department of agricul-
ture has just taken aerial photo
graphs of 1000, 1000 square miles or
80 per cent of the farm acreage of
this country, in order to help de-
termine desirable changes in land
use for various kinds of crops,
says Golfers. The work, which
produced 100000 air photos, cost
5000, 900, or only a fraction of the
sum of producing the information

CHAPTER XIV


Sergeant, for days I round up
news from battery reporters. There
is always too much or too little.
When there is too little, I have to
write what is needed. When there
is too much, I have to choose which
battery reporter is going to horse
whip me for leaving his copy out. "
'The chaplain is right up the
street." the sergeant said.
"Then / have to edit all the copy,
delete all classified military intelli-
gence and take out all nasty cracks
at first sergeants. Then I have to
write headlines for all the stories
and place them in whatever space
I can find for them. Then I must
draw everything up into pretty little
pages. This is tedious and nerve
racking work.
"The chaplain will give you a
sympathetic ear" the sergeant said.
81 will give you only KIP. Does
anything you are saying relate to
what we're talking about-why you
weren't in the mess hall yesterday
afternoon?"
ST was getting around to that, SER
geant. On the day before the paper
is issued, have to go into Fayette-
vile to keep a careful watch over
the printers, to see that they don't
put Third Regiment news on the
Fourth Regiment page. If I am
not there, they may even mix head
lines and put church notices under
Service Club Activities It is neces-
sary that be there"
The sergeant coughed. 81 feel
for you, Private Hargrove; deeply
sympathize. I wouldn't think of put
ting you on KIP"
"You wouldn't?" I gasped eager
ly.
Don't interrupt" the sergeant
barked. GAS I was saying, wouldn't t
think of putting you on KP-if you
hadn't committed a breach of eti-
quette by failing to RSVP the invi-
talon. You didn't tell us you weren't
coming. Or why"
"a
I was doing peacefully at my
typewriter the other morning when
there came knock on my elbow
and a bright young voice shouted
''Hey!" at me. I looked up into the
impish, cheerful, and unquenchably
mischievous face of the boss daugh-
ter, Miss Sidney Winkel, age four.
Miss Winkel was dressed like the
Navy and looked entirely too ener-
getic for such a drizzly morning.
"I'm to be the Valentine" she
said, "and Johnny's going to take
my picture and you're to take me
up to the Service Club and carry
Johnny's things for him and wait
for him to get there so you'd bet
ter put on your jacket and cap ard
let's go.
''I'm going to have my picture
taken with Spud Parker" she add
ed. Spud Parker is the generals S
son and is considered quite an eligi-
BILE bachelor by the younger set.
SIS Spud Parker your boy
friend?" I asked her sleepily.
"Oh, no." she said. Johnny and
Tom Mulvehil and Lieutenant Meek
and Captain Wilson are my four
best boy friends but you're not my
boy friend at all because you make
faces and stick out your tongue and
maybe if you could behave your
self you could be my boy friend. :"
"Pure fddle-faddle," I told her.
81 didn't ask to be your boy friend,
anyway. I could have nine hundred
girl friends if I wanted to-prettier

Anchor HOY Boat

Years ago the navy had work
boat called the anchor hoy, an un-
conventional type of craft de-
signed to raise huge anchors and
carry them to ships needing them.
Today, it is forgotten except in the
records of the naval library at

The Check Up

The final checkup shows that John
Partridge and DR.. Mayo are right.
May Sutton Bundy's daughter was
a good tennis player, but not a
champion.
At the moment I can't recall a
woman star in sport who had either
a SON or a daughter in the upper
brackets of competition. There must
be a few. But their names escape
me. There was certainly no ath-
letic prominence attached to the
mothers of Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe,
Ty Cobb, Bobby Jones, Helen Wills,
Patty Berg, Babe Didriks0n, Bronk0
Nagurski, Glenna Collett, Joe
Louis, Gene Tunney and many 9TH
ers known to headline fame.
There have been a few exceptions
on the male side-but not many.
Ty Cobb had no son interested In
either baseball or football. Practi-
cally none of the top stars of today
had mothers or fathers who were
even close to being champions.
AS great competitor, Man o. War
still has the record when it comes
to producing winning progeny.
To keep the argument moving
along on the human side I can't re-
call, outside of Jake Schaefer Sr.
and Jr. in billiards, where any COM
bination of father and son, father
and daughter, mother and son or
mother and daughter were both
champions.
Taking a Risk
Baseball is taking risk in send
ing two picked major league teams
into any combat zone.
doubt that any such move would
be popular with combat troops. Re-
turned soldiers, sailors. marines and
airmen that / have talked with all
agree that any such expedition
might be mistake. It would be en-
tirely different if the two teams
were used apart from combat zones.
This is a point that both the war
department and basebaIl's leaders
should consider carefully.

for before the weeks over, it's 81.
With what money we have taken
from you and given to the chaplain
during the past few weeks, you
should make out all right"
Must I be treated as a child?"
I asked.
"Okay," said the sergeant, as if
I had not spoken, that's 62 dollars

lar and half for laundry and
couple of bucks for cleaning. Debts

From 62, take $3.50, leaves three

"We can cut it down to size," I
said wistfully. 'I'n give you three

Gee" said Mulvehill, ''you are not

You are not to take out any post

cigarettes from Sergeant Sher, who
will ration them out to you as per
budget"
Sergeant Sher, Private Bushemi,
and the other members of the Union
of Hargrove's Creditors would have
been quite pleased at the sight. In
stead of spending their money lavish
ly on taxicab sightseeing trips and
expensive shows, was dining quiet
ly in a conservative grillroom with
the Redhead. We weren't even dis
cussing ways to spend their hard
earned money.

bing alcohol? do not want Scotch

''It is as madame wishes" the
waiter said, bowling from the knees.
He walked away and returned again
to lean against post. The Red

tablecloth.

Redhead. "Can his bluff"

more gruesome aspects. But there
IS a lot more to be done:
First. improvement of agri-
cultural methods and distribu-
ton the world over. so that the
peoples of the world may feed
themselves.
Second. the development of
scientific methods of manufac-
ture and distribution of goods.
Third. revival of world
trade. so that people can ex-
change what they have for what
they need.
Nobody needs to tell Frances
Perkins that those ideas rpesent
thorny problems. But when the
comment is made, she counters
with this:
Economics is not like the law
of gravity. 1t is man-made. We
used to call this field of human
knowledge political economy.
Then we called it politics as though
it were akin to dynamics. It should
be called moral economy in
which man exercises his iudg-
ment."
Miss Perkins referred to the old
belief that initiation was an I'M
avoidable adjunct of war and
pointed to the fact that we are
now in the midst of a battle to
combat initiation.
When I was a little GIRL she
said, nobody thought of buying
things in packages. That in itself
was revolutionary. We bought
sugar and flour and things of that
kind by the barrel. Packaging fol-
lowed the discovery of germs-as
protection against them. We
couldn't have lived in small houses
until we began to package things.
Frances Perkins shows herself
rebel against the dictates of
fashion, too. Fashion. she says:

months. /"
Miss Perkins doesn't. She wears
a three-cornered trieorn, year in
and year out.

me.
MY face is widest at the cheek

not easy to find a hat which be-

recently in a speech at New York's
Town Hall.
In her speech she presented a
preview of a broadened social Sc

age assistance, extend unemploy-

loss of earnings from i'll health

employees and employers. And
Uncle Sam would help after the
plan has been functioning for ten
years.
Mss Perkins said that the ex-
banded plan would soon be laid be-

indicated that if put into action
soon, the plan might prove help
