P.ie crow bar was identified ns hav

found that some one had entered the

the money they could find which was
about (Li cents. The bolt cutter be

had been missing different artie’es
from the shop for sometime, but did
not realize that the window was the
cause of the disappearance. The |
Nciwcod Motor Company was also

loss was about sll in cash. The
Sinclair Mercantile Company missed
some change accidentally left in a

trousers. It is herd to say just
what other things might have seen

Sinclair’s was tilts place of entrance

came frightened leaving their tools
behind them.

All Lika France*
New York Mirror.
The President and Secretary Mel
lon intend to treat the French nation
with all possible consideration in
settling the war debt.
The French lost millions of their
best men. and their courage set an
example to the world. There is no
doubt that an arrangement' will be
reached satisfactory to both sides.
The suggestion that France begin
with a preliminary payment of sr>,-
000,000 a year is unsatisfactory to
the Administration. That will hardly
he criticised in France.
The accumulated unpaid interest
(Mt the French loan now amounts to
$000,000,000. Interest on that sum
at the rate of 5 per cent a year
wnflfc) be $45,000,000. Thus the o£-
fef S-U.000.000 a year, if it were
made would be about half of one per
ceuts on the unpaid interest.
However. America is really in
France’s debt. It is not that France
saved us from Germany—that is. and
always was a joke. The Germans
would have had about as good a
chance attacking the United States
in 1014 as we should have had in
attacking the pllanet Mars.
That situation is changed now.
with the flying machine »o powerful.
But during the big war we were al
ways safe from Germany as we
were from the Ahkoond of Swat.
But we and all the rest_ of the
civilized world are indebted to
France for the teachings of her
great men of the eighteenth century.
The men that established this
nation—Jefferson. Franklin and
others—were taught by French
thinkers and writers.
We owe much to France for that.

Stewart's washington letter.
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
, NEA Sendee Writer e
WASHINGTON —Recent events
in ‘Washington probably
have given a pretty widely
■pread Impression that all Isn’t
quite right with American na
tional defense.
This impression is correct.
The controversy over the merits
of war versus surface forces isn’t
the only trouble. Still worse,
army and to some extent navy
morale is fcadly shattered.
...
WHETHER one considers Col.
“Billy” Mitchell right or
wrong in his aviation views,
nobody can hold that the opinions
he expresses of his superiors are
those of a man in a frame of mind
to work effectively toward the
•nds that they deem best.
I Now, Col. Mitchell is not alone
bi an unfavorable opinion of these
lame superiors. He simply is the
Only one who says in public just
What he thinks.
A great part of the War De
partment is fairly saturated with
discontent. .
Any number of officers are ready
to voice such sentiments in the
■trongest terms if assured they
won’t be quoted and thus get into
difficulties—which not many of
them can afford to disregard a’s
Col. Mitchell can.
Still, they do talk with an occa-
CALLS DAVIDSON
WEAK IN OFFENSE
Line C aoh Thus Comments on the
Fresliyierians’ Showing SatunUy.
Davidson, Sept. 28.—” The work of
the Davidson line vas good on 'he
offense hut weak on lie offense.” was
the verdict of Line Coach Tex Tilsen
today when questioned aboiit Satur
day's gain* with Wofford, in which
Davidson was victor by a single touch
down. Coach Youngei seemed pleased
with tile work of Jim Hendrix at
quarter in the plane of Sappenfie’.d
who was injured in the first game.
The Davidson team hit strong op
position Saturday in Wofford just
as \ . M. 1. had the week preceding,
the Cadets winding by 9-0 while Dav
idson won 7-0. Rip Major has built
a great defensive team and perhaps
it was for that reason that tb“ offen
sive work of tile Davidson forwards
looked weak.
11 bethel* the light Davidson line
can hold against the great forward
that Coach Garrit.v will bring to
Charlotte next Saturday is about as
big a question as whether the David
son ends and baekfield can keep the
fourVflashy backs covered. Davidson
ViltAurn out everything it lias for
. the Xante, in fact that Davidson coach
saved quite a bit even from the past
weelft for the 11 ake Forest sc nip.
The game will be by far the most
important played in North Carolina
tnis week-end; the only other game
among tile big five being that be
tween State and Duke. Charlotte is,
backing the game wholeheartedly, |
and coming as it does on the last day
of the great Made-in-Carolinas Expo
sition a record breaking crowd for
western North Carolina is expo* te l.
The Davidson team is very well
known in South Carolina, meeting
fl’iee Saudlapper teams this year, and
many people are expected to attend
the game from the northern section
of that stale. Wake Forest, ppstetss
ing very good possibilities of another I
championship team, will draw ex-1
tiemely well. Many people are ex
pected to turn cut just to see “the I
four, horsemen" that Garrit.v has. j

IT isn't aviation deficiencies sole
ly that all the kicking is about.'
The complaint is that the
country's whole military establish
ment is running down.
That it's on a peace instead of a
war basis is recognized as all
right, but the malcontents’ argu
ment is that retrenchment has
gone altogether too far.
Maybe the establishment's size
is adequate, they say, but its qual
ity is being allowed to deteriorate.
In short, the growling, in Its last
analysis, is directed against the
administration's economy policy.
* • •
Dissatisfaction in the
Navy Department isn’t quite
so acute. The personnel,
however, does feel the pinch of
tight times. Armament limitations
are bitterly resented, too.
However, the navy fnen are not
so seriously at odds among them
selves.
Probably this is due in part-to
the fact that they haven't been split
by the aviation dispute which has
rent the army.
Few if any navy airmen take
the position that their service has
-rendered all others obsolete. Or,
if they dp, they keep it to them
selves.
Nevertheless the departmental 1
atmosphere is one of deoression
and discouragement.

More Girls Drinking Since 1 Void bi
ties.
Editor New York Mirror: The so
called* prohibition has brought many
evils to the country but none so great
as the introduction of aieholie
drinks to young girls. In the ma
jority of our clubs it is now an
everyday occurrence to sis- .voting
girls not' yet out of their teens at
drinking parties. The modern girl
considers it is not stylish without
I being able to partake of several
i “highballs.” Recently I attended a
I social function at one of New York's
best hotels and was disgusted to wit-
I r.ess the number of young girls who
were under the influence of drink.
The number of men addicted to
drink is decreasing, while from my
experience I begin to think that the
increase in female drunkards more
I than balances the decrease in males.
