Press.) speeches of the campaign, John W Davis, Democratic candidate YORK, Nov. in Washington” re-election of President This gether, Davis said. ‘The contending forces that have split the Republican party in twain, will not be reconciled merely by Re- publican victory," Davis declared. “Their struggle will but be begun again upon a new battle ground and renewed more fiercely than before. Stagnation or chaos, or an alterna- tion of the two, will reign in Wash- ington.” Touching on corruption, enid: ever in American history has privilege flaunted itself in the vices of the ratic capitol more brazen and unassailed than the last three an one half years. It was not alone the desire for iicit gain that lost to the nation the naval ofl reserves it in now struggling to regain; it was equally the wish to govern- mental power to advance the inter- est of persdnal and political friends. It was not primarily a desire to en- force the iaw that united the de- partment of justice with the Repub- licar. national committee in putting spies and agents on the trail of senators and congressmen; it was 4@ ‘willingness to use the power of gov- ernment to pursue personal and political enemies. It was tne fixed bellef in privi- lege that the Republican grant a eubsidy to shipping interests total- ing $750,000, Davis said. The same cause was behind the Fordney- McCumber “tariff bill, a “plunder uot.”” Davis sald, Unwilling to trust to reason and conscience, the Republican party is making « studious effort to play on the country’s fears, Davis charged Along with other men they see the unrest and discontent that ride like harbingers of through the land preth: unparalleled audicity they ask the Republican party to lay the-winds they them nelves have raised. For unrest does het come without cause; discontent is not the mere result of disordered brains; men do not put forward new audits in government as it stands, ‘We will not restore pea ere nee by vote to repeat and con- Reioe the conditions which have i coming storm,” he said. country to trust” the shaken it.” defeat. under a Republican administration, Davis sald. One of the principal alms of the Democrats $s, the restoration, of honesty in government, the speaker said. Davis appealed to all political parties to rally to the standard of honesty in government. “Where is the man who can de- fend the disgraceful conduct that has so shamed and: humiliated the nation,” he cried. “I cannot be- Meve that the country will rest con- tent wity the shame of President Coolidge that the wonder is not that the corruption involved so much knd so many, rather that It qwas so little and so few. We can- not be asked to accept in the Amer!- ¢an government any lower standard than that of absolute and entire honesty.” —— ESS BEST INTERESTS OF ~ GITY,15 PLATFORM ON WHICH PELTON STANDS Among candidates for councilman of the third ward is Sylvester F.

(United Press Staff, Correrpondent) VERDUN, Nov. 1.—The’ battle cry, “Ts passeront pas," the phrase that stirred the gal'ant French to hold Verdun and that went ringing around the world dur- ing the war, is now but an echo here. The city itself has passed from its former place of importance in French natignal life. Iiterally translated, the phrase means, ‘They shall not pass." It was with a thought to the literal meaning that M. Henri Sommer of the Maison Commer in Place Mazei spcke of his clty in connection with the sixth anniversary of the armis- tice, He is an old resident, a maker of souvenir postcards, proprietor of a tobacco store and dealer in war trophies. “Verdun held its.own during the war but has been weakening ever since,” he said. ‘Business is at a standstill; we are off the main line of communications and we have been abandoned by our best friends, the soldiers. Before the war the pop- ulation of the city was 14,000, while now it is only about 8,000, includ- ing workmen who are engaged in reconstruction work. Before the war the garrison held 25,000 troops, now it has only 1,500 colonials. We lived on the soldiers. We have no indus- try to promote prosperity and must depend on tourist travel, which is growing less year by year. Our eco- nomic plight is worse than our mi{l- difficu'ties ever were during r. On ne passe pas? We are ne not so sure. That was spoken in wartime when *Verdun was great, Things are different now, and we can’t live on glory alone.” Coming into Verdun from the shell- torn hills of the greatest battlefield that the world has ever known, any visitor will remark that the city it- self means very little in this post- war period. The wreckage has been cleared from the streets and many new buildings have appeared, but somehow ft remains the old batt'e- ment, invincible in war, quite un- in peace today. The life y which, from an Ameri- n viewpoint, was never mere than ® small town, is almost entirely re- construction work, interrupted only by tour small ts’ cars, At darkness a few 8 light thelr feeble lamps, but by ten o'clock the place ts dead. Broken walls are sil'ouetted ke tombstones, and Verdun se¢ms a great graveyard with the never-for- gettable memory of the million lives that were last about it. Ht is paradox that Verdun ts now weak because of its wartime triumph. Metz is now the outpost of the defense of France, and oc cuples the same relative position that Verdun once enjoyed. This ren- ders Verdun practically impotent as itadel, The old ¢itadel has not n dismantled, but it is now only a show place. Sleepy cotonials es- cort visitors through those under- ground chambers, freely revealing the greater city beneath Verdun, but as a military stronghold it is noth- ing but a relic. Defenders Lost Half Million As such, however, there is no scer modern history that so grit © imagination and moves mens’ minds to Meditate on the lessons of the World war. For its fefense half @ million Frenchmen gave their lives, and over 300,000 af that number were Killed, as near as et | iW » VERDUN--SIX YEARS AFTER Monuments Mark Famous Battlefield can be estimated, and even many German bodies by the thousands were carried to the rear and in- cinerated. Although the French did their best to honor thelr own dead, it cannot yet be forgotten that lost legions were churned in those hill- sides by the gristmill of war. Those hills are about as. they were left. Practically no attempt has been made to restore the old Verdun forts. Tourists agendies visit them and visitors stealthily pick up battle sou- venirs, but the tourists do not loiter long. Visitors etand silent’y and try to trace in their imagination the pic- ture once framed here. Nothing but a fallen-in ditch re- mains of the celebrated trench in the “Valley of Death.” A beautifully carved monument tops “Dead Men's Hill,” bearing the inscription “They Shall Not Pass.” Hill 304 looks like some vast plain turned up by a giant's plow and left to seed. At Cheppy there is a fine monument erected by the State of Missouri in memory of her sons who died in France. Americans have also erect- ed a memorial at “Bayonets Trench” a remarkable concrete structure, Dearing on its face 2 huge cross in stone. These and many other mem- orlals erected by the French on his- toric spots about Verdun command @ respectful pause. A String of Monuments. But perhaps the most interesting series of memori is the string of fifty-five metre-high monuments stretching from Bar-el-Duc to Ver- dun, along the “Voie™ Sacree,”” the Sacred Road. From Bar-le-Duc it is fifty-five kilometres to Verdun along the main highway and it was over this road that supplies were brought to Verdun during the many months of the great battle in 1916. But for this road, Verdun would have fallen, and that’s why the road is sacred to the French. The Germans bom‘ barded and tore it, but never stopped the traffic over it. Thousands of American boys know this highway, for they marked it with their cleated boots, and they can understand these litte memorials placed) one kilo- metre apart. The monuments are all of granite, topped by a French hel- met, surrounded by a crown of They mark the road to the ates of Verdun. Within the city reflections on its glory are shaken by those cobbled streets, nar- row, murky and twisting. Recon- struction is pronounced about fifty ber cent completed, but it doesn’t look it from a casual survey. There’ has been much restoration for prac- tical purposes, but no outstanding improvement. There are no good stores, no amusements; néthing striking but the untouched ruins and the great gates that have already served their purpose, If Verdun has an industry it fs the manufacture of the Dragee can- dies, There are hard little candies given at christenings, and it is con- sidered good luck not to open the box until the child is married. The makers are now putting them in chooolate tubes, shaped like shells with a fuse on top whioh, lighted, bursts the chocolate casing and scatters the candies. And Verdun is proud of this industry.
