He would leadn, among other things that the United States had become involved with some European nations in a great war; and that it had come out of that war owing them the enormous sum of $88,000,000,000, which it was making no effort to pay. Doubting the accuracy of the press reports, he might have gone last week to attend a session of the Senate, either in Paris or Brussels; and he would there have heard the newspaper reports fully confirmed. This may come as a surprise to some who have been going about with the deluded idea that I was he Allies who owed us money; according to the French and Begain press and politicians, this is all wrong. Speaking in the Belgian Chamber last week, Henri La Fontaine, vice-president of the Belgian Senate, is reported by the Associated Press to have said: It cannot be denied that we fought for America and that we An American saw a friend in a street light with an opponent who was getting the better of him; he went to the rescue, was himself treated a bit rough, but the two succeeded in beating the enemy into submission. Then, in place of thanking him for timely assistance, the friend should demand that he pay for a black eye he received before the American came upon the scene. Apparently the wine of victory has gone to French and Belgian heads. One should be permitted to think, however, that five years after the war ended the fumes of the intoxication should be subsiding. When they make such surprising claims against us it not surprising that the rest of the world is beginning to regard with polite skepticism some of the charges they bring against Germany. We would not treat an enemy as they seem inclined to treat their friends. ALL BUT LEAGUE SCHEMES BARRED. Edward W. Bok seems in a fair way to go down in history as having pulled off the greatest hoax since the Dr. Cook flasco anent the discovery of the North Pole. Cook's discomfiture upon an analysis of his claims was no greater than the embarrassment Mr. Bok must feel when the public comes to analyze the proceedings in connection with his much touted peace award. Briefly stated, the story is this: Mr. Bok, who has been a great advocate of the League of Nations, offered a prize of $50,000, sometimes stated as $100,000, for the best plan for promoting world peace. Managers of the contest were appointed. When citizens wrote to these managers for information concerning the conditions of the contest, they received such information from his step but part of America.

Speaking in the Belgian Chamber last week, Henri La Fontaine, vice-president of the Belgian Senate, is reported by the Associated Press to have said: It cannot be denied that we fought for America and that we saved her; consequently, we are entitled to expect effective help from her. Our government ought to have the courage to tell this to the American people. So! It was not Amerilia that saved Belgium, but Belgium that saved us. Belgium and France owe us neither gratitude nor money. It is we who owe them both. England is not paying us a debt which she justly owes. We bulldozed her into paying us. tribute, under the threat that we would send her no more food. We simply used the threat of starvation to force her to accede to our extortionate demands. But Belgium and France are not to be intimidated. They purpose to stand by their rights. An American representative of the Associated Press was somewhat mystified by this rather unsuspected disclosure and asked Senator La Fontaine for further elucidation. And the Belgian Senator proceeded to advance alleged facts and figures in support of his claim. Had it not ben for the interference of France and Belgium the Germans would have come across the ocean in their submarines, captured this country and reduced it to the status of a German colony. But they vallantly threw themselves in the way. In doing so they suffered terrible losses, for which we should justly pay. He placed a value of 100,000 francs on each soldier killed and 50,000 on each of the wounded; and says they died in our defense, although most of them were killed or wounded before we were even aware that we were threatened or thought of getting into the war. He summed up the case as follows: The United States, with 50,000 dead, 100,000 mutilated and 100,000,000 francs war debt, bears only 1000 gold francs per head. The total amount for the three allies and America, taken together, represents 5025 gold francs per head of population. Consequently, to bear a fair share, the Americans ought to pay an additional 4025 gold francs per head. Briefly stated, the story is this: Mr. Bok, who has been a great advocate of the League of Nations, offered a prize of $50,000, sometimes stated as $100,000, for the best plan for promoting world peace. Managers of the contest were appointed. When citizens wrote to these managers for information concerning the conditions of the contest, they received such information from the managers but also received almost immediately in a separate envelope a letter from "The League of Nations Non-Partisan Association" and the "Woman's Pro-League Council" saying that the Amercian Peace Award had referred the inquirer’s name to them as one desiring to compete for the peace prize. These League of Nations advocates were anxious to supply data and literature to help in the preparation of manuscripts for submission to the Peace Award managers. Thus was proven a close operating arrangement between the managers of the Bok scheme and the League of Nations advocates. The judges chosen were all, or nearly all, known advocates of the League. There were over 22,100 manuscripts submitted and if the judges passed upon all of them, it would require the reading of one every minute during eight working hours of every day during the time available. These manuscripts were permitted a maximum of 5000 words. The judges rendered a decision that was declared to be "unanimous," thus making the conclusion unavoidable that each member of the committee had read all the manuscripts and had agreed that this one was the best out of 22,100. If this was the case, it’s the first time in history that a number of men have reached an unanimous agreement in selecting the best out of 22,100 entries in a contest. It was the understanding that the identity of the contestants was to be secret, but while the contest was in progress, Mr. Bok wrote a magazine article in which he declared that some of the most prominent men and women in the country had participated the contest—thus indicating that some one had knowledge of the identity of some of the contestants. Out of all these facts some serious charges have grown. Among these are: That the judges were prejudiced in favor of some plan that would involve the League of Nations; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Nations advocates were being paid for their efforts; that League of Networks are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; that Network are being paid for their efforts; Then cancous propagated was beim ropean inter aliares who owe to the constituent form of gov't "As good be your duty as stern-ed to fight field or battle liams.

FRAN The United States, with 50,000 dead, 100,000 mutilated and 100,000,000 francs war debt, bears only 100,000 gold francs per head. The total amount for the three allies and America, taken together, represents 5025 gold francs per head of population. Consequently, to bear a fair share, the Americans ought to pay an additional 4025 gold francs per head; that is to say, about $88,000,000,000 instead of claiming $12,000,000,000 from Europe. Nobody has courage enough to dare to say this to the Americans. If the latter realized it many of them would dobtlessly admit the justice of the claim that we saved America and that more than 2,500,000 of our men died for her. That's what European statesmen ought to tell America. We fdrther ourrht to protest with the greatest energy against the American tariff. Reading that, from the mouth of the Vice-President of the Belgain Senate, what would the modern Crusoe think of us? What ought we to think of ourselves. It would be highly amusing if it were not for the fact that France and Belgium hear only this presentation of the case and never the other side. It is natural for them to believe their own leaders; and, if these leaders are right, then we are dead wrong. Similar views, though in a modified form, are expressed frequently in the French press. Yet Americans who go over there express wonder that they find nowhere admiration or gratitude for what we did in the World War. Of course, the average American might take a slightly different view of the case. He might regard the French and Belgian claims as follows: Out of all these facts some serious charges have grown. Among these are: That the judges were prejudiced in favor of some plan that would involve the League of Nations; that League of Nations advocates were given special opportunity to place their propaganda in the hands of contestants; that the judges did not read and consider all the manuscripts; that the whole scheme was but a part of propoganda designed to get the United States into the League of Nations. JUDGE WILLIAMS GIVES ALIENS GOOD ADVICE Warning that sinister influences both domestic and foreign, are at work in an effort to rend asunder the government and constitution of the United States, their adopted country, Superior Judge R. Y. Williams addressed an earnest appeal for loyalty to fourteen allens who, were naturalized in his court and took the oath of allegiance, Monday. This appeal from the bench to the new citizens to make their citizenship good citizenship, was accompanied by brief exercises conducted by a committee: The Santa Ana Chapter, Daughters of the Aristocracy. Thus the ordinarily oblitered proceeding by which foreign subjets are moulded into Americans was warmed by display of patriotism calculated in the minds of those who witnessed it to raise the incident above the level of a mere legal transaction and not only give the new citizen the true meaning of ANAHEIM GAZETTE in a street who was getwent to the related a bit led in beatsession.

The fourteen "survivors" of a class of twenty-two candidates for naturalization were accepted after an entire morning and part of an afternoon of examinations. When the proceedings were finished, the D, A. R. committee, which had been waiting to greet the new Americans, stepped forward. Mrs. Alle Hath, as spokesman, was accompanied by Mrs. John Clarkson, Mrs. C. F. Smith, Mrs. Leonard Swales and Mrs. E. M. Blake. Mrs. Hatch explained the purpose of the organization to be the promotion of patriotic principles and impressed upon her hearers. She then welcomed the class as follow citizens distributed small flags and pamphlets to each one, and administered the pledge of allegiance to the flag. In this, the judge, court officials and all present in the courtroom joined. Then, with the singing of "America," the D. A. R. committee retired. Judge Williams, after congratulating the class on the great privilege accorded it, charged its members with their new duties and responsibilities as American citizens and voters. That they should take part in politics and exercise the ballot, would be a duty, the court pointed out, declaring that "an active interest in politics and the ballot-box makes a well governed country." Then came a warning against insidious propaganda that the court declared was being circulated "both by European interests and American millionaires" who selfishly wish to tear down the constitution and substitute a new form of government in this country. "As good American citizens it will be your duty to resist such propaganda as sternly as though you were called to fight for your country on the field of battle," declared Judge William. or were warmer the 600 male members of the cast would have reason to hesitate before jumping in, so, twenty-five portable bathtubs, the first of three consignments, have been added to the facilities at Camp Lloyd. FARMERS GOING BANKRUPT More than 8½ per cent of farm owners in 15 corn and wheat states lost their farms between 1920 and the spring of 1923. In addition to those, 15 per cent of farm owners were incolvent, but permitted to remain on their land through the lenency of creditors.

FRANKLIN'S GREATNEWS Benjamin Franklin was too long regarded as one of the lesser lights of the American Revolution. In truth, he outshowne any of his contemporaries, not excepting Washington, in general all-around ability and intellect His autobiography should be on the book-shelf, not of every library, but of every home. As an example of courage, modesty and thrift it is unparalleled. Sentiment is turning toward putting Franklin on the pedestal where properly he belongs. The bankers have seized upon his birthday, Jan. 17, as an opportunity for an annual thrift propaganda, and this week has been designated as Thrift Week. And a good thing, too. Thrift is the one thing Americans have to learn if they hope to know more about mankind.
