Let *Em Fight!
German armies have moved into the
Rhineland, and their enemies of 1914
again have the ‘jitters.” The Allies are
tcaming up and the League of Nations
will go into action to decide what can
be done about the matter. In the mean
time, France sends an army of 300,000-
men up to the famous river. |
There will be no war, if one is to
judge from the tener of the foreign news
flashes. But the fact remains that only
a river seperates a half million soldiers
armed with every conceivable death
dealing machine. All of them have
“itchy” fingers at a time like this.
The situation from this side of the
ocean does not look so good. Those half
million soldiers are not along the banks}
of the Rhine for the purpose of picking
daisies. They are there ‘““just in case.”
And, “just in case” you have forgot
ten, we had enough war some years ago.
We were persuaded to cast our Ilot
with the Allies for the “moral effect” it
would have on the Kaiser, and his goose
stepping armies, After that we were
“touched” for twenty billions of cold
cash to bolster up the, depleted money
bags. And then came the call for men
to put over the smashing blow and
“make the world safe for Democracy.”
It is NOT on record that our declara
tion of war caused Germany to imme
diately offer peace terms.
It IS on record that the Allies
weleched on their debts and took us for
a beautiful ride.
It is also on record that the world
is just abtout as safe for democracy now
as it was twenty years ago, and all we
have to show for the pathetic pleas of
Europe are memories of our herocs who
fell in Flanders Field.
if our former Alliez are uader the
impreossion that they will get help “com
us, they might just as well learn now
their mistake. If they want to fight,
it will be O. K. with Unecle Sam. We
ar: staying out of it and the first Con
gressman or Senator who suggests that
we help the “oppressed’” should be given
free passage to the front lines—alone.
And as for sclling munitions to the
warring nations, we place our stamp of
approval on the late Will Rogers plan
of “Cash and Carry.”

historical house in the ecity has already
been taken care wf for preservation.
This is an example of what will be done
from a historical standpoint. The place
where Henry M. Stanley, the noted jour
nalist and African explorer, who went
into the heart of the Dark Continent
and found David Livingstone, fell ex
hausted near Keedysville, the place hav
ing been located definitely by the Wash
ington County Historical Society, will
be suitably marked.
At the J. Forney Young farm, on the
Marsh Pike, the noted Indian Scout,
Colonel Cresap, lived. Part of the or
iginal house may yet be seen. There
arc many places of historic importance
thronghout the county which the com
mittee will feel grateful to be advised.
However, these places will be properly
marked from time to time and remain
as places to be visited when the big
demonstration takes place.
It is planned to dedicate the Wash
ington Monument, on the mountain
above Boonsboro on July 4, next. This
will be under the auspices of the Wash
ington County Historical Society. This
will be a place for a pilgrimage visit by
visitors to the first monument started
and completed in membory of George
Washington.
The triple observance in 1937 will be
gin on Sunday, with services in the var
ious churches of the Citv and County.
Sermons on this date will probably be
iit referecnce to the progress of religion
in the State from the day of the found
ers.
FIGURE IT YOURSELF
Nobody ever added up
The value of a smile;
We know how much a dollar’s worth,
And how much is a mile:
We know the distance to the sun,
The size and weight of earth;
But no one here can tell us just
How much a smile is worth.
