Show KEKP VOI R NOSE AT fclOMK j Isn't it about time for the government govern-ment to call a halt on the rapidly growing habit of certain American people poking their noses! into Europe's Eu-rope's affairs? j Their meddlesome advite has not been solicited and it wil not be heeded, and the only visible effect will be the bringing of ourlown country coun-try into disrepute in the eyes of the peoples of all nations, condition which may easily lead to serious trouble in the near future. When European governments at war with each other will not listen to the tenders of good offices from the heads of neutral nations, what I reason have we to suppose! that they would give even a thought to the , blatant demands of private Amer-' Amer-' lean citizens who flnnarentlv tTitnlt more of newspaper ndtoriety than they do of peace. 1 The great mass of our Americans of all degree are a sane and sensible people, who attend strictly to their own affairs, but we are cursed with a minority who are never happy unless un-less they can get into the newspaper headlines, and they will go to extreme ex-treme lengths to satisfy their insane scravings. By strenuous work the United States has managed to keep out of the European entanglements thus far, although cur prestige has suffered suffer-ed to a degree. We can not afford to be drawn into in-to it through the officious meddling of a gang of irresponsible American I notoriety seekers who persist in pok-j pok-j ing their noses in the European face. ! Europe will settle its war in its i own way when the right time comes. In the meantime let the government insist that the American nosea be ; kept at home. i j u |
