J. LIDELL, Mt. Vernon, Wash. Asks Square Deal for France Editor The Star: Correcting the more glaring mis- statements of “Hamburg”: “Friend and foe alike” did not fight to “do away with all wars for all times.” Up to July, 1918 the Germans still ‘expected to win the war, and while President Wilson started out with the'idea that he was “not fighting the German people,” yet before the war was thru he considerably changed his views on the point. To- ward the end of the war the soldiers did fight with the promise of the politicians in thelr ears that this would be the “Inst war’; it was the only thing that kept even the allle at the grim slaughter, and today, tho the politicians bilked them, these ex-soldiers stand as the great- est influence against future wars, as witness the program of the Amer. ican Legion for the conscription of both labor and capital tmmediately upon the next “call to arms”; wit- ness the overthrow of Lioyd George by the labor party (a party largely made up of men who served over. eas) upon his attempt to foist an- other war on Great Britain; witness the meeting In New Orleans last October of Legionnaires from all the allied nations to talk over means of preventing future wars. But along with that the ex.soldiers believe in justice and fair play for France, as shown by the statement of Brig. Gen. J. R. Quigg in the issue of The Star of February 1. “Hamburg” says: “The destruc: tion of life and property in Burope by Napoleon I. and the French army exceeds that of the German army in France.” British, French, Americans and Germans, there are 9,000,000 lying dead in France, All the armies that fought either for or against France did not come up to that figure, let alone their dead; and the destruction of property was ae relatively small, both ‘because it Aid not exist, and because none of the armies set out to deliberately wipe out a people, War still had in {t @ military code of honor, not yet being "Germanized.” “Hamburg” asks what would hap- pen {f the U. 8. should send a mil. itary expedition and seize Ontario until such time ag Great Britain paid her U. 8, debts? Not being Germany, Great Britain Isn't refus: ing to pay her debts; but fn such a case I guess the subject would immediately leave the realm of de- bate for that of action, The French have also removed thelr question from debate to action, being com- pelled to by the duplicity of Gere many. “Hamburg’s" trump card! “The French military authorities In the oceupied territory forew the German officials to supply German women for the French negro soldiers," No'| wonder you hide your identity and nationality behind a nom-deplume! As for the “impossibility of mak- ing an American out of a Britisber”; I have my citizenship papers and pay taxes; I have served in the United States army and am a member of the American Legion. I wonder if you can say as much? And, anyway, I was not out in Great Britain's Inter. ests—oven you will admit her ability to look after her own—all 1 asked for was a “square deal" for France, a recent ally of yours (7) and mine, as against the fellow who hails from “Hamburg.” Sincerely, WILLIAM WYKES, Box 1043, PEKIN, Feb. 8,—heg cups are now a primary requisite in every up-to- date Chinese household.

MYERS U. 8, Senator From Montana HE United States supreme — court is the most au- gustly dignified body in the! world. When! the Judges enter in solemn, black- gowned proces- sion, all in the court arise, and a» the justices are seated, the bailiff booms out | in a deep and| solemn voloe,| “Hear ye, hear} ye, hear ye! The! honorable, the supreme court of the| United States is now in session, All| having bustness with the court draw near and make it known. God rave | the United States and this honorable | court.” It {x a highly tmpresstve occasion, | and of all the judges who have | helped to make It so, perhaps Chief) Justice White was the most digni- fied, the most impressive. On a certain day this august pro- cession, headed by Chief Justice White, filed from the side door into the court as usual, while all the at- tendants and spectators arose, Out | Into the afsle stepped a plainly- ressed, white-halred old farmer, and | with hand extended and face} wreathed in smiles, ho accosted the chief Justice. ‘A gasp went thru the courtroom. The judge, thunderstruck, frowned portentously; then, of a sudden, he grinned, book hands with the old/ man, whispered something to him and went on his way to the dais. Later he left his seat, came down into the court and talked for some time with the farmer, who was an old friend from his home town. ‘There ixn't any particular point to this story, save that It shows that a supreme court justice has a sense of democracy and of humor.
