DROOIJNO SENTIMENTALITY.
As an offset to the sickening sym
pathy, which some people are wasting
upon tthe supposedly hungry Huns,
the Berkeley, California, Gazette has
begun the, publication of a series of
articles under the heading "Lest We
Forget.'" These articles will relate
well authenticated Instances of Ger
man barbarities, perpetrated by Ger
man soldiers or German civilians
with or without the authority of the
German government. And instances
are not lacking, From the day when
the Kaiser deuounced his treaty with
Belgium as mere scrap of paper
and proceeded to devastate that ' in
offensive country, down to the day
of the signing of the armistice, the
Germans were as ruthless as they
were powerful. Their atrocities were
limited only by their opportunities.
None of the rules of civilized warfare
was binding upon the Hun. No in-
. stinct of humanity prompted! an act
of mercy. Not even the helpless
prisoner was Immune from the bru-.
tallty of the sons of Attila. Having
neaped upon' their roes every injury.
lndlgnttx and Insult which a savage
mind could devise, the Huns depriv
ed them of even the satisfaction of
vengeance by seeking an armistice as
soon as defeat was certain, and sur
rendering their fleet without firing a
shot. The slightest sympathy be
stowed upon such a people Is abso
lutely wasted. The slightest-aid ad
vanced to them is worse than wasted!
They are as incapable of appreciation
and gratitude as they were wanting
in either sense of honor or feeling
or mercy. Newspapers that publish
tno facts regarding the German re
. cord "Lest We Forget" are serving
wen meir constituencies.
' Some demlcratle ideaB of efficiency

that argon, nn Insert, non-lnflamable
gas, win be used In the future for
the Inflation of balloons In order to
eliminate the tiro hazard'. Natural
. gas containing one por cent of argon
has been discovered at a nolnt in
Texas. It is proposed to build a pipe
line over m nines in lengtn from tho
gas well to another point, and there
. erect an extractng plant, where the
argon wll bo separated, placed In
cylinders and shipped to balloon
fields for use. To extract one per

gon is to be transported throi sh a
pipe line, costing $1,060,000 to con

The proposal of United States
poace envoys to destroy the sur
rendered vessels of the German fleet
does not sound good. The value of
the captured battle ships and crui
sers ib a staggering figure, andi It
would be little Bhort of criminal to

M. J. AND S. J. SHOEMAKER
The hardest' thing in the world la
to try to appear Interested when an
acquaintance Is telling you how much
money he made laBt year, while you
are trying to figure out where to
rilise the price of a new overcoat.
While a boy is dreaming of the day
when he'll either be a policeman anil
arrest everybody he doesn t like, or
cowboy andi travel with a circus, the
girl Is dreaming of a. home filled witJh
servants.
Maybe the reaBon a Democratic ad'
ministration was willing to accept
war time prohibition was that
knew it was driving everybodey to
drink.
The allies at the peace conference
should bear In mind that the more
they divide, the mono their troubles
will multiply. ,
When a man starts to fit up an
office, the first thing he thinks of Is
a cuBpidor, but a, woman always gets
a nower vase.
Many a tired mother ot screaming,
fighting children, wishes sho nil .Tilt
also enter a peace conference.
You may not like those you have
to associate with, and the chances are
the feeling is mutual.
The only way some meek men ever
get their names In the paper Is to be
defeated for office.
We are all creatures of sin and
some of ub Beem mighty .proud of It.
If you're not lofty, you can't fall.
