Nicoll @ Ruthman adnock Bide; Cb Pacific Bidg ; Bost France Not Out of the Woods Tt is well known that France has encouraged the inde- mdent buffer state between her and Germany. It is be- leved also that she looks with favor on the independence movement in Bavar In fact, she is charged with fos- tering any and every movement inside Germany tending toward disintegration. France is living in a fool's paradise if she relies on a divided Germany for security. Napoleon III, in 1870, rather thought Bavaria and all South Germany might side with France in her war with Prussia. At any rate, he counted on the neutrality. But he had no sooner struck than all Germany, South as w as North, rose as one man, forgot petty family quarrels, and gave France the licking of her life. olay if Ger- many falls apart it will be for reasons boding little good for France. Scratch a secessionist in Germany or a monarchist or a fascisti and you'll find an implacable foe of France. They may not agree on any other single thing, but every Ger- man hates France and yearns for “der tag” of vengeance, That being the case, it only remains for the Germanic peoples, whether in Prussia, Wurtemburg or Saxony, the Rhineland or Silesia, to get some of their breath back and they will unite again in a war on France, Dismember- ment of Germany might give France a comfortable sense of security for the present, but the future could not but be filled with misgivings. “If Germany breaks up,” said Lloyd George recently, “you will be dealing with six capitals instead of one, You cannot control six different states, some of them hun- dreds of miles from the French frontier. Revolution in Germany is a greater danger to France, to Britain, and to Europe than it is to Germany.” The Star does not always agree with the variable Welshman, but there is something to think about in what he says here. France is still far from being out of the woods. 190T Seventh Ave, Phone mend United Prese Service.

There is but one road over the Cascades now. It goes thru the Snoqualmie Pass and, tho it has considerable Scenic value and an easy grade, it cannot compare to the Wonders of the Naches Pass. A good road thru Naches Pass to Eastern Washington would greatly benefit us all. It would make possible the development of the north side of Mount Rainier. It would help Eastern Washington. Go to it, Ezra! We are for you to the limit. (From tho Naval Weekly) " One of the most inspiring episodes was enacted by the officers of the ith squadron on the rocks between the lurid glow of hastily-lit beach fires and the broken destroyers. With thelr ships around them, with dead still In them, the captains ‘of the ships approached Capt. E. H. Watson, commanding officer of the Hth destroyer squadron, battle ficet, Captain Watson stood weeping, facing the sea and his stricken crows. ‘One by one the captains of the ships approached and reported their ships destroyed and most of their crews saved. Each shook the hand of the captain, with tears coursing down their cheeks as they reported. It was a scene for an artist, and one which will be always remembered by those who witnessed it. ‘A man often tells a girl he would die for her, but that is because he has never tried it, If a Stenographer Trailed You What would you say, folks, to something new—a news- paper printed in each home every night?

Hey? All of it printed regularly, day after day, in cold black and white, for every one of you to read and be ashamed of, or proud of, as the case may be. An unknown writer has written the following: “If all that we say In a single day, With never a word left out, Were printed each night In clear black and white, ‘Twould prove queer reading, no doubt. “And then just suppose Ere one’s eyes he could clone He must read the day’s record thru; Say, wouldn't he sigh And the next day try A great deal less talking to do? “And I more than half think That many a kink ‘Would be smoother in life's tangled thread If one-half that we say In a single day ’ Were left forever unsaid.” All of our tongues are too quick on the trigger. Even those of us who have reputations for being mild and careful in the shop and office blurt out too many of- fensive things in our homes. Home is a blessed place, even at its worst, but it would be heaven indeed if we'd give thought so that “one-half that we say in a single day were left forever unsaid.” Some marry because they hate to go around alone and some get divorces for this ‘same reason, Did you know a rope was 10 per cent stronger when wet?
