GENERAL NEVILLE
ON THE COAST
Among the first war heroes to come
to America since tbe armistice is Gen
eral R. G. Neville, known as the savior
of Verdun. In the dark days of the
war when the HohenzoUern forces un
der the crown prince were pounding
at Verdun and it seemed as though
they could not be stopped, as they had
taken tbe outer rings or forts and
.err- pouring an endless stream of
high explosive shells on the defender
of the citadel, General Neville was
given command and he began by or
J ganizlng a daring offensive which car
i ried the French flag back over loa,
U was tbe proud boast of the Ger
man general command that Verdun
would yield to their mighty attacks,
but from the day General Neville took
charge of the valiant French, the task
of the Crown Prince became a hope
less one and it is said no less than
600.000 of the flower of the Teutonic
army were sacrificed in this military
v enture.
I General Neville has been lionized ir,
the eastern part of the I nited States,
and last week he was the object of
attention in San Francisco where he
was entertained by (he most promi
nent people of the state of California
As an expression of esteem for thf'
great military genius of France, Gen
eral Foch, now that General Neville
has been over, should be united to
America, Men of the courage and kee
foresight of any of the outstanding
French generals of the war are worthy j
of our acclaim. Their ability as v,ur
riors helped to save the world fron
the disaster of an autocracy which
If successful, would have enslaved the

DISGRACE BROUGHT
BY WAYWARD BOY.
What a regrettable disclosure is
made in connection with the Cave
drug store robbery' A most honorable
family name is besmirched by the des
perate act of a foolish, wayward boy.
A promineni man said that he w&s
of tbe opinion that much of the (crime
throughout the country ivas from the
power of suggestion Daily we read of
holdups, burglaries and other offenses
against law and order, and the impres
bionable young fellow, who pores over
lhose stories of outrages, begins to
ihlnk that crime has become common
place and he Is tempted to get a gun
and proceed along the highway of
falfse hopes. He is looking tor easy
money and puisues the will o'-the-wisp
until suddenh ho is made to realize his
mistake.
This is a time for young fellows to
keep their moral and mental equillb
rium.
There is only one way to advance In
life and that is by doing the right and
decent thing

1 DECLARE LEAGE

Declaring that the League of Na
I lions has proved a failure, Frank H.
Simonds, the American historian,
Three nations, the United Slates.
H Britain and France, were to be. in
1 fact, the executors of that docu
ment, the guarantors of that sys
leni and the directors of tbe af
I fairs of the whole world In real
Ity it was an Anglo-Saxon partner-
I ship for world regulation in which
i he French were permitted to
j share on terms which were not
I quite those of equality, but as-
H sured to France the thingB she
most desired security against
j new German aggression and repa-
I ration for the terrible destructions
1 nf the recent conflict. French as
jj piratlons were restricted by Anglo-
I Saxon decisions, but France was
1 insured against tboso dangers
which were most pressing
I But. aside from France and Brit
ain, the balance of the victorious
I nations, and particularly the
1 smaller powers, were treated with
H something approximating con-
I lempt Italian hopes in the Adri-
J atlc were stifled. Belgian aspira-
j lions along the Scneldt were re
pressed. Poland. Rumania, Jugo
( Slavia and indeed all the new and
lately increased nations were
j treated as mere wards, while the
I nations which had been neu-
I tral during the war found them-
selves unrepresented at Paris and

suspicion.
Nothing was more inevitable,
ihercfore, than that at Geneva the

not alone control of the league,
but the power to make the league
the executor of tho pact of Ver
sailles, and for this campaign the
assembly of the league furnished
an admirable weapon. Moreover,
the chance of victory was greatly
enhanced by two important devel
opments, the withdrawal of the
United States and tho break be
tween Britain and France.
What the small states were aim
ing at was the restoration of the
situation in the world which had
existed before the war. so far as
the special advantages acquired
by the victors were concerned.
They were determined to control
tho league and to make the
league, not the defender, but the
assailant of all tbe portions of the
treaties of Paris which bestowed
permanent advantages upon the
few victors and particularly upon
the great powers.
Simonds, from the day that the
league was proposed has been main

he shows plainly his determination for

Mr Walthall appears as a tempera
mental poet a role that should give
ample opportunity for comprehensive
reading and fill the eye and senses of
his audience with a powerful portray
