Rooms Eatered of at congress the of March at 4, 1019. Marion, Indiana, as second matter under GERMANY TO FEEL THE TEETH. For months and months Germany has been -dallying with the allied powers concerning the exact amount of indemnity which should be imposed upon her. Allied financial have met time and again; have drawn. up their conclusions; have handed them down; only to find that in the meantime German financial "experts' had been in session and had proved, to their own hearts' content, at least, that certain restrictions must be placed on the demands of the allies, or the whole world would be topsy-turvy.
This bickering has gone on and on and no definite adjustment 4 basis has been agreed upon. At the late meeting of the allied premiers with the German indemnity delegates in London, Germany explained what she thought she ought to pay. The allies told her what she would pay. The Germans asked for time for consideration. Lloyd George stepped forth as the allied spokesman and refused to grant any further delay, and a deadlock ensued.
Today we read of the allied military advance into Germany. It has come to the point where Germany must feel the teeth of the allied demands before she will take heed. It has come to a pretty pass in 'international politics when a defeated nation, defeated without having suffered the real terrors of invasion, can stand up before, the nations that caused its defeat and speak with the audacity and with the evident assurance of which Germany has been guilty. It is indeed too bad that, after the years of suffering to which France and Belgium especially were subjected, and after the years of trial and tribulation under which Italy and England were bowed, that these nations must now, after all has been won and the losses counted up, must spend of their financial resources and of their enerries in clamping down a "reason" for payment upon the nation that created the bill. It is to be' hoped that this military occupation soon produces results and that Germany will soon see the error of attempting to resist the world.
It seems certain that she must soon realize that she is no longer the nation "pointed out by God" as the one to rule the earth, and that William Hohenzollern, the man really responruble for this outlandish idea, is no longer situated in pomp and glory as the emperor of his native land, but that he is bemoaning his fate an exile in the little country of Holland. WAR AND AMERICAN OPINION. (Chicago Tribune) the In United the well nigh fruitless effort to induce the government and people States to prepare for the ordeal which loomed darkly across path, Leonard Wood was a prophet and leader. As a part of the great vice he Fallacies." performed he wrote a book entitled "Our Military History; Its Facts It was a succinct and forceful statement of truths which experience was promptly to verify. What Gen.
Wood asserted, what he dicted, came true. It remains true today, although our government and people remain, apparently, still blind to the tragic lesson. marising It is therefore well that Gen. Wood has added 8 chapter briefly the lessons of the war and that his pregnant little book has republished under the title, "America's The American people all viously oar noed now, as they sorely needed before the war and in fact through history, the admonition of those who have attended the leasons of experience and looked with clear eyes at the possibilities of our future. for people in the have blood persistently failed to do either, and their failure has been and in continuing of danger.

Our intense preoccupation with the activities of peace, common the cruelty and waste of war, have conspired to betray sense.

His shipmates had reported him as dead, and they told the best story they about his courage and his character. "A memorial service was held in the local church, and the minister said all the comforting things his conscience would permit. The local paper printed the sermon almost in full. 'The mother of the supposed lost boy clipped all the good things that were said about her son and pasted them into her scrapbook. Mothers have a habit of doing that.
