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.
The corresi>ondence of the Pope In
Rome, requires tho services of thirtyfive
secretaries.
