WAR BEGETS WAR When we told our boys eight years ago they were to go to war to end all war forever, we lied to them, and yet we emerged from that great conflict much better than might have been expected. We are indeed fortunate that the armistice did not leave this nation with another war hanging directly over our heads. Look back in history and see how many times the terms upon which one war is ended constitute the foundation for the next. The conquering side imposes such terms upon the vanquished enemy as must lead to an effort to acquire the strength with which to break them. Consider the case of the Franco-Prussian war and the disposition of Alsace and Lorraine at the close of that war. The terms of settlement between France and Germany in 1872 were a thorn in the flesh which festered and came to a head in the late World War. While our own Civil war left a bitterness which lasted all too many years, yet Lincoln's policy of no punishment, no reparations, no acquisition from the defeated, no exacting terms, precluded the possibility of a growing hatred for the north on the part of the south that would have developed into another war. Southern bitterness, through the years, has been dying down because there was nothing in the terms of settlement to keep feeding it until it should burst again into flame. In the late war, also, the United States brought home no spoils. Today we have the goodwill of our vanquished enemy. But in Europe all is different. The Versailles treaty has stirred up bitterness on every side. Its terms cannot be carried out, for no nation is satisfied with them. Poland has absorbed portions of Germany and Russia and these countries too many years, yet Lincoln's policy of no punishment, no reparations, no acquisition from the defeated, no exacting terms, precluded the possibility of a growing hatred for the north on the part of the south that would have developed into another war. Southern bitterness, through the years, has been dying down because there was nothing in the terms of settlement to keep feeding it until it should burst again into flame. In the late war, also, the United States brought home no spoils. Today we have the goodwill of our vanquished enemy. But in Europe all is different. The Versailles treaty has stirred up bitterness on every side. Its terms cannot be carried out, for no nation is satisfied with them. Poland has absorbed portions of Germany and Russia and these countries will never be satisfied with this consummation. Both Germany and England refused to sign the protocol because it required defense of the present national boundaries. Germany would agree to the western boundaries even to the extent of giving up Alsace, but she would not put herself in a position that would prevent her from establishing her old boundaries on the east. Poland not only demands that the present eastern boundaries of Germany be respected, but she wants still more German territory, and France must abet Poland in her demands, since she looks to that country as a vital factor in her plan of defense against future reprisals from Germany. The treaty which was to have made war impossible has become a veritable casus belll. The voice of the people seems to occasion modern public servants much less concern than the vice of the people. Age is the quality that makes a man sigh with relief when it appears probable that a shower will spoil the picnic. xcursions SOME ROUND TRIP FARES FOR READY REFERENCE New York $147.40 Houston 72.00 Chicago 86.00 Montreal 144.42 Denver 64.00 Jacksonville 120.43 Kansas City 72.00 Memphis 81.15 St. Louis 81.50 Detroit 109.62 New Orleans 85.15 Winnipeg 119.50 Boston 153.50 Cleveland 108.56 Minneapolis 87.50 Philadelphia 144.92 Washington 141.56 Toronto 121.42 Omaha 72.00 Havana 166.12 Proportionate reductions to other points back east For use May 22nd to September 15th.

He left it in the grocery store, and tagged it with a five of hearts from the deck in his name. When he returned two hours later, the pug was gone. He demanded an explanation from the grocer. Simple enough," was the reply. "Jim Slocum come along with a six of hearts, an' just nacherly took that thar jar o' yourn." The kindly old lady in the elevator questioned the attendant brightly: "Don't you get awful tired, sonny?" "Yes, mum," the boy in uniform admitted. "What makes you so tired, sonny?

YORBA LINDA WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying THE EAGLE IN HIS NATIVE HAUNT—Berkeley Gazette For fifty years eaglets had been reared in a nest near Vermilion, O. Last year a hunter killed Mr. Eagle. Mrs. Eagle soon thereafter went in search of another mate and brought him back to the old nest. A new family was well on the way when a girl swept the nest down. It was eight feet wide, twelve deep and weighed a ton. Two partly formed birds were found in the wreckage of broken shells. There were also bones of animals picked clean by young eaglets years and years ago. Dr. F. H. Herrick, professor of biology at Western Reserve University, had made an observatory in a neighboring tree, and had studied the birds closely for three years, making many photographs. This year he was prepared to take moving pictures. He hopes the pair will build a new erie and raise a new brood not too far away. This is the kind of study that means something. Putting forlorn specimens of the bird-o'-freedom in cages, making them do tricks, entirely beneath their dignity, or leaving them in ill-knew zoos, to be gazed upon in idle curiosity seems hardly worth its cost in money and human self-respect, not to mention any other considerations. Roosevelt, on one of his tours, had a cage built for himself, from which he could safely observe big game and take pictures as well as shoot. The killing of this great old eagle last fall was regarded as a calamity and a crime by all northern Ohio. That hunter will never shoot another eagle. Gradually the human race does grow more human, after all. POEMS THAT LIVE LIFE'S GIFTS Life's gifts were never distributed fair? There's some who get more and some less than their share. Some gather the prizes as sure as they fall? Some lie on their pallets of straw. And a sup of water is all they can take from the cup; While others on silken soft couches recline, And never drink anything weaker than wine. Some carry gold watches and gold headed canes. And some are in broad cloth, and some are in jeans; And some who the requisite currency lack— Have never the stitch of a coat to their back. Moral—"There was once a monarch who lived to go daft. O'er the worries of state and the noise of his craft; And others as surely get nothing at all. And the doctors to keep his old brains in repair, Advised that a happy man's shoes he should wear. They searched high and low, and they searched far and wide, Into every bit of the kingdom they pried; Presley, who has been their house guest. Mrs. H. Haynes and daughter Evelyn left last week for Belen, New Mexico, and a Saturday Miss Evelyn was united in marriage to Mr. G. H. Collop of that place. The many friends here extend congratulations.
