Friday, May 24, 1940 Tlie Chronicle wants to commend Congressman Richards bill to put the CCC enrolloos Into partial military training He Is one of the few congressmen (o make hold to suggest a I HI of this kind. Those boys uro going lo have to be trained lu military sooner or later aa events in Europe now would show. The sooner Hie better, and as the congressman ! says li will cost no lUUI'o. Back Again The armistice la over. 1 The Hermans are buck in ,Sedan. That Is where the world war loft < them Sedan is Just Inside the French 1 .border. They iiad boon chased that far by American ti-oops who broke through the lUndon-burg line in the Argonne forest. The armistice saved them from being chased any farther, ) From that point they wore allowed to march home and disband. Now they are back where they left off. All that work the American boys did 22 years ago has gone for* naught, j in fact for worse than naught. For | there Is no exhausted, vanquished army licking its wounds in Sedan today. It is an army fresh and strong, j flushed with victory and keyed to re- 1 venge. After being allowed to rocov-1 er and prepare it has regained every ' military advantage it lost in 191S and lias literally turned in its tracks to i resume the war In which it had been ; decisively defeated. Now at Sedan where dymocfacy once triumphed li again flfjmds /menneed It Is no longer san^Jm the world. It was oh Nov. 11, 1918, when the Hermans waited at Sedan' for or-' dors to march hoiue and give up their kaiser's dream of conquering the world. There wan no force unywhere that Could change the way of life for | which American* fought. lfe?ck home [our people were free to apeak and | walk the streets. They had no need I to tax theinaelvea huge autna for Oat* [Hoet>ip? pud a standing army. They I could spend that money for social security and peaceful construction. To remain Clever safe they had only to maintain 'their part of the army of occupation on the Khlne, and that at (ierptany's expense, to see that the enemy did not rearm and renew his depredations. Hut the Amoricun people.did not do that. They called their troops home. They bought worthless German marks with valuable American money. They sent loans to Germany and Had Cross funds to food children now grown to sturdy parachute troops. They scolded France for being too hard on the vanquished and finally influenced r.ugiand iuto also withdrawing from the watch on Khlne. Modern history knows the rest.' Crying poor mouth and whimpering for sympathy the Germans?not Hitler alone but all of them in what is now clearly a national conspiracyarmed with our money and trained secretly to got even, not only with France and Fug land but also, you can bet. with the Yanks who came to deprive them of their booty 22 years ago. Does that havo to be done all over again? Must wo again drive them out of Sedan so that our people need not worry about the kind of lives they wish to live? If so, dead eyes in Flanders field are going to turn accusingly on the Influences in America that destroyed tho work our soldier boys so gallantly performed In 1918.?Fort Myers (Fla.) News. Much Reading Matter Left Out Owing to last minute heavy demands on our advertising space The Chronicle 1h forced to leave out quite a bit of Interesting reading matter. This is partly cause too by many of our correspondents waiting until Thursday morning to send in their notices for publication, then It Is too late for us to get it Into type. Legion Provides Fine I Coping For Hero Plat A bhr?? grranltw coping, provided by the local American I/Cglon post at a vusi of |376 has beeu placud arouud the memorial plat iu the Quakef' cemetery here. Within the enclosure, which is 38 feet wide and 48 feet long;, lie the remain* of two of Camden'* heroic dead. Beautiful monument* graee their lual reatlng place. Under one monument lie* Richard Rowland Kirkland, who wae the principal character In the cetiebrftted incident of watering the woouded at the! atone wall of Fredericksburg iu 1868. The detail* of the heroic act of the Camden aoldlor will go down into history a* outstanding. For an hour und a half Richard Kirkland, wearing the Confederate gray, went among the wounded in that no. -man's land between the buttlelh\es of the bltle and the gray giving water to the dying. And a* he labored .on his mission of mercy, the soldier* in the union blue withheld their firo and filled the air with their cheers for this brave confederate warrior. Dick Kirkland became a sergeant nnd distinguished himself iu battle at Gettysburg, earning a promotion to a lieutenancy. At Chlckamauga, In the flush of a victory hour for the southern troops, Dick Kirkland made the supremo sacriflice. c' Under another magnificent - monument in the memorial plat lies Richmond Hobnon Hilton, whoso bravery in action during the last world war earned him many medals of valor from many nation*. The memorial plat 1* to be landscaped and beautified by the Daughter* of fcjie Confederacy. This work Is to bo done thi* summer. German warplane* dropped incendiary and high explosive bombs in their third raid within a month Monday night, on Rritain's Scapa Flow naval base. The British claim that no damage was done but that "at least two German pianos" were shot down by anti-aircraft fire.
