RUSSIA DEMANDS TOO MUCH

The Peace Conference which will
soon be convened by the great powers viii
get under way in an atmosphere that does
not promise a satisfactory conclusion to
the great war. ~ -.
The United States has been absolutely
unable to accept the demands'lof, Russia,
which continues to ask fer things which
this nation is unwilling to grant and the
State Department has stated that it would
prefer separate treaties to a peace based
upon Russian terms. afe, ,tssE
& Secretary of State James F. Byrnes
says that peace must be based on fair
exchange and that this would not be the
case IN a settlement which would give
Russia strong military position in the
Mediterranean area, in addition to the
orbit that the Soviet has already con-
structed in eastern Europe. The American
Secretary thus rejects Russian expansion
in an area that would cause considerable
concern to western Europe.
The Russians have been anxious to
secure an exclusive trusteeship over Trip
oil, naval base in the Dodecanese, mill
lishment of Yugoslavia in Trieste and, ap-
parently, the abandonment of Austria as
a zone of concern to the western nations.
1t is difficult to predict how far the
Soviet win go in an effort to have its, way.
The action of the United States is vel
coined by the British although London
shows signs of hunting for some possible
compromise solution. European experts
agree that the sterilization of Europe is an
urgent matter which cannot be accom-
plished until the peace treaties are drawn.
They also understand that a settlement
upon Russian terms might be disastrous
and suggest that if there is a failure to
make the treaties the record should show
this is due entirely to the claims of the
Russians.

Are YOU going to vote for Bill Blank
tomorrow?
That's the man you've been support
ing, you say, but the important thing is
are you going to vote for him?
You've changed your mind; you're
going to vote for Bill Brown
That's your privilege, but the main
thing is not for whom you are going to
vote, whether it be Bill Blank or Bill
Brown-the main thing is that you vote.
Go to the polls; vote for whom you
please-but go! As you are aware, the
registration in Monroe county falls at
least 1000 below the number of residents
that could have registered That will hurt
the country in the estimation of public
officials in the state and in Washington.
But it will hurt still more if you and you
and you do not go to the polls to vote.
Let us all try to "get OUT practically
all the vote in the county. 1t would be
good cause for jubilation if everybody
who is qualified voted. You may be sure
that such an outcome would make big
headlines in spapers-Monroe County

not likely to happen, let US all strive TO

point out to him that voting is the greatest
privilege accorded him under our Consti-

EXPLANATION

Every once In while We read that
some Individual has been honored by some
institution, association or organization and,
except in comparatively rare instances,
the recipient is already recognized and
we'll able to do without the empty acclaim.
The question naturally arises whether
the award is made for the benefit of the
recipient or for such publicity as may at
tend the action of the donor. Very often,
the latter motive seems to be the logical
explanation of the published recognition.

I'VE shall meet again, trust,
said the Tenpiar, casting re-
sentful glance at his antagonist:
and where there are none to
separate us.
IF we do not said. the Disin-
herited Knight. sthe fault shall

THE conqueror then commanded
his trumpet to sound a defiance
TO the challengers, and desired a
herald to announce 70 them. that
he should make no election. but
was willing to encounter them IN
the order in which they pleased
to advance against him.
The gigantic Front-de-Beuf.
armed in sable armour, was the
first who took the field. Over this
champion the Disinherited knight
obtained q slight but decisive adj
vantage.
In the strangers third encoun-
ter with Sir Philip Malvoisin, he
was equally successful.
In his fourth combat with De
Grantnesnil, the Disinherite d
knight showed as much courtesy
as he had hitherto evinced cour-
age and dexterity. De Grantines-
nils horse, which was young and
violent, reared and plunged in
the course of the career so as to
disturb the riders aim. but de-
clining to take the advantage
which this accident afforded him,
he wheeled his horse and rode
back again to his own end of the
lists, offering his antagonist, by
a herald, the chance of second
encounter. This De Grantmesnil
declined, avowing himself van
Quished as much by the courtesy
as by the address of his opponent.
Ralph de Vipont summed up
the list of the strangers triumphs,
being hurled to the ground with

from his nose and his mouth, and
he was borne senseless from the
lists.

applauded the unanimous award

When the two champions stood
opposed to each other at the two

expectation was strained to the
highest pitch. Few augured the
possibility that the encounter
could terminate well for the Dis

cause it is a growing community,
and because il is big enough right
now to support our school. we
plan to make this one of the I'm

clans is more acute than it has
ever been, Weaver noted. When
licenses were granted to the grad
yates of Yakima school not long
ago. a single shop employed all
but two or three of the class, he
said.
The training period lasts for
wear, and the school will operate
every day except Sunday, Weaver
said. Each student must complete
1000 hours of instruction to quail
ify for a license.

by Weaver as an outstanding hair

FIRE CALLS

The KenneWick Fire Depart
ment was kept busy this week
as they answered four calls over
the weekend. -.
Friday at 4 p. m. they were
called to the Commercial Inn
for a chimney fire. The damage
was slight.
Saturday at 4:24 pm. they were
called to the Commercial Cafe
A cigarette dropped in one of the
rest rooms caused the fire. The
damages were limited to smoke
areas.
Monday at $40 a. m. the place
known as the old Kado place
burned. Due to incomplete di-
rections the fire department had
difficulty in locating the fire.
The fire was caused when an
electric heater caused the cur
tains to catch afire.
Again at 9:31 Monday, the fire
whistle was blown to call help
in locating lost child, south east
of Kennewick. The child was
found shortly afterwards.
