The National Guard Appropriation Editor The Star: I have before me your editorial of January 29; “$200,000 Knough for Militia’s Real Need.” I cannot help Dut believe the* this is penned by a man grossly /snorant of our national plan of military defense, or you are influenced by Internal and external enemies of our country. Our na- tional defense plan provides for a national guard to make up our first Une of defense to augment our regu- lar army, that has been cut to the heart at a time when the peace of the world is In greater danger than when we stood on the brink in 1914. ‘This state is not maintaining more than Its quota as provided by the natioral defense act, Tho last two lines: “The gold braid and the strut oan well be dispensed with” is an insult to a body of our state's finest citixens, men who have volunteered to leave home and bust- eas, to go on a minute's notice and put their bodies to the sacrifice to defend you, your wealth and your home, Inatead of gaudy untforms, as pictured by you tn your vile at tack, they wear the piain olive drab uniform of the United States army, which, to me and every other sane patriotic American citizen, is a badge of honor, It Is now a tax on the financen of every man, borne by him and him only, who holds @ commission in the national guard; he gives his time, and, even under the plan as carried out after the late war, there are {KHEDIVE VISITS ANCIENT TOMB The khedive of Egypt (center, wearing gray suit) is shown here visiting the ruins and uncarthed tomb of the ancient kin, Tutankhamen, the discovery of which was the greatest of its kind in the history of art, many expenses that he has to cover out of his own funds.

Your paper has been the nowt active of any tn the state tn agitating the danger in the Pacifica Now comes W. Wykes tn a long letter to The Star, trying to justify the military Invasion of the Ruhr. Permit me, Mr. Editor, to state right here: You cannot make a Britisher out of an Irishman, nelther can you make an American out of a Britisher. Mr. Wykes’ letter proves this, The damage done in Ireland by British militartem during the Inst 600 years ts by far greater than the damage done tn France during the world war. The destruction of life and prop- erty thruout Burope by Napoleon the First and the French army exceeds that of the German army in France. Buppose America would The Jap and the G. N.

I have also read the articles that were running in The Star last week migned by a Mr. Cockrano, placing all the blame for the strike on the bankers, who forced thelr program on the railway executives, Even while the strike was on I never noticed that anyone, not even President Harding, placed the blame for the strike on tho strikers, And while the strike was on I never heard a word of censure from any one for the railroad executives who were making use of these Japs to break the strike, On the other hand I heard much condemnation of alien strikers, The superintendent of terminals, Mr. Degman, nayn that the Japs showed thelr loyalty to the company and therefore must have loyalty’s re- ward—a job, So I judge from this that altho Japs are undesirable citt- wens, they are nevertheloss desirable for une In teaching American cltizens humility, And so while our young friend, Bert Allon, is denied, at loast for the time being, his chance to com- plete his education at the "U," he has at least recetved a preparatory MARRIAGE A LA MODE There are many countries trom which tho evil-eye superstition and & belief In mischievous spirits nevor have disappeared.
