On Armistice Day, 1918, the allied and associ- ated powers laid down the terms that stripped Germany and the Central Powers of danger as a military menace. If on Armistice Day, 1921, these same powers take up the problem of minimizing military ag- gression amongst themselves, the day will be made doubly memorable. ‘ f HARD TIMES The necessity of‘ dealing with our economic problems on a world basis, and the impossibility of the United States prospering by itself alone, is strikingly stated by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce. * . : “The hard times that knocked at every cottag door'today,” says Hoover; “came from Europe. & “No tariffs, no embargoes, no navies, no armies can ever defend us from these invasions: ° ; “Our sole defense is the prosperity of our neigh- bors and our own commercial skill.” ¢ ALVIN YORK Alvin York, the war’s greatest hero, has the sympathy of thousands in his fight to save his mortagaged farm. \ ; ‘ : The story of his danger of being ousted was printed in The Tribune and other papers through- out the country. : And from all parts of the country, by hundreds, have come offers of aid. In addition to the individual offérs, Sunday schools in Kansas City have started a fund to meet the mortgage. The world admires a game fighter. And more, it is always ready to help him. - Ss ai AMBASSADORS Of 25 picture shows advertised in the London Mail recently 24 were American productions. - Now Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks and Wally’ Reid and Marguerite Clark and’ Charlie Chaplin don’t know a thing about international diplomacy, but nevertheless they are our envoys extraordinary, not in the Court of St. Jamés, but direct to the people of England. ee They are ambassadors of good will in a way. that no ambassador to a mere court’ can ‘possibly be. They are teaching English people'to smile and cry with us‘and: folks who'smile and cry. to- gether over the same things are not likely to fight each other—though they may fight together. MANAGER PLAN More than 8000 citizens of Dayton, 0., one of the first cities to adopt the city manager plan of government, have signed petitions for'a referen- dum to abolish the city managership and the com- mission form. Citizens of Dayton are displeased with the pres- ent form ‘of government because of a recent rise in'the gas'rate. - : : After aH, it is-men and not forms’ that make governments good or bad. But no city has ever gone back on'the city’ manager plan. ‘Almost invariably it has < eliminated’ politicians and brought good'men into politics. ‘The Dayton movement will be watched with in- terest everywhere. : : INCLUDES CHINA The inclusion of China in President Harding’s invitations to the diarmament conference is an indication of how imporant a part the discussion of the Pacific and Far Eastern questions isto play in the negotiations. As the least ‘militaristic of nations, China has but an academic interest in the question of dis- armament, ’ But she has 2 vital interest in any. decisions the future policies of America, Great Britain and MBS. STOKES WINS HER CHILDREN; BATTLES TO CLEAR HER NAME Japan in the Pacific. It would be folly to attempt to arrive at these decisions without giving China a chance to state! her case. ya | That President Harding has not committed this| folly is one of the good auguries for -the' success | of the great veriture he has undertaken,’ ; ! DEFLATION The money value of the total resources of the United States has shrunk about’ twenty-five billion dollars:since the decline in post-war prices. started, on the basis of an'estimate by American delegates to the International Chamber of Commerce. In other words, the‘deflation so far aecomplished | has just about equaled the total of Uncle’Sam’s national debt. Now if some way could be found to deflate that debt we would really be getting back toward nor- mal. | MABKSMANSHIP “When the prodigal son returned they shot the fatted calf; when the disabled American soldier | returned, they shot the bull.” °° 0" Thus George H. Gillen, national commander of | the National Disabled Soldiers’ League, describes the treatment of 611,000 soldiers and sailors who received ‘disabilities, iil’ some degree, during the wari hskias ah ‘ In the nearly three: years since the signing of the armistice, Congress has been shooting at sol- dier relief. But Congress‘is a poor marksman. MORALS Dr. W. Perrin, a. bishop’of the church of Engg’ land, says: “The moral code today is more lax} than it ever has been.” But is it? Or dog4 it merely seem to be more lax because more and more stress is laid on its being lived up to? © ; { In 1754 a father wrote to the Spectator of Lon- don, Eng., complaining of “the prevalent vulgari- ties of the ball-room.” The literature of every century in the past 400 years contains denunciations of fashions. ‘The age-old Bible itself is‘ filled with counsel intended to correct unhappy marriages.

But ‘that poor, benighted man was complaining ito an’ outsider that his boy wouldn’t mind him. And he thought he was being kind not’ to-make him‘mind.° i ‘What a father like that forgets, of course, is/ that if the lad grows up regardless of the rights| and comforts of others the’ world will speak to him iarshly, whether. in word or in that far'more hurt- ful way of leaving him alone.

It is no easy thing to weigh the shades ‘of*conduct'and do just what is best with children, | but {t is‘no hard thing to be just.’ And'there is no| kindneés in an easy-going way which leaves'a child’ to find out for himself how strictly: the world will! judge him.—Milwaukee Journal. : | LONGEVITY AND HUSBANDS Mrs. Maria E.

Decision To Write. Last Chapter His legal brief, together with those of Mrs. Stokes’ lawyers in his suit for divorce and her counter-suit for sep-| aration, are now in the hands of Su- preme Court Justice Finch. His de- cision, expected soon, will write the last chapter to a bitter family battle. Spéctators of the divorce drama see; Stokes’ own confession of defeat in - “If in the judgment of the court it) seems wise, the plaintiff would gladly consent that the custody of the chil- dren should be awarded to the grand- mother. during their, tender years. realizing that thereby the mother will haye intimate and probably daily com-} munication with them, as they will] eecupy the same home. . “In ‘that event, the father begs that he may be allowed such privileges of | visitation as will-enable him to keep! in touch with the hearts of his chil- dren and care for their physical and mental welfare. } | “By feeling that they still, in a/ sense, belong to him, he will provide!

Smith, one, of his: attorneys. “I mean to say, this is not a ‘settlement.’ Mr. Stokes suggests that such disposition may be ‘the judgment of the court’.” _ ‘To- which qualifications Martin wW.!

Walsh, associated with At- torney Littleton, sees victory for Mrs. Stokes, saying: 4 “lt Poot me that this whole action has been brought to deprive Mrs. Stokes of her rightful share in the Stokes millions. He has tried to besmirch the name of his wife, yet is willing to leave hie-children in her custody—for that is what it would mean to ‘have them with their grand- mother.” Ane wage No matter what the decision is, Stokes will probably have to pay large sums, if not in alimony certainly for the support of the children. His first wife, divorced in 1900, was granted alimony of $1000 a week. Stokes and Helen Elwood of Den- yer were married Feb. 11, 1911, when he was 62 and she 22, Marital litiga- tion began in 1919!

Evidence was gathered and spec- tacular chapters of the elderly million- aire’s earlier life were brought to view again. ay NEAR BEER ’ FROM “BUGS” A professor in the University of Bordeaux has patented a% making beer by the use of moulds similar to those found on ordinary “mouldy” bread. . The metlod is as applicable to “near” beer as it is to the real thing, and plans to put the invention to commercial use include a project to export the product, in “kickless” form, to the United States. Professor Dubord, the discoverer Seamer tie ee of* the process, claims that“ it will reduce the price of beer’ to far below pre-war levels. The new beer, or’ near’ beer,” as the case may be, is produced ‘entirely without ‘the aid of malt. -A; common mould which goes by the. dignified. sclentific name of “aspergiljus,” is the “bug” that does the trick, “The mould presents a fluffy white appearance just like those often dis- covered in the famly jam. It looks powerless, clinging with countless others to the side of a flask. But one small bottle of these “bugs” can ferment 100 litres of brew. This brew is made from a mixture of one part of grain to three parts of water, boiled together, then cooled. The. “bugs” are the. only other in- vredient than necessary. The result- ing beer, according to the professor, iastes just exactly like one brewed with malt. > | Remarkable Remarks | Germany is in far better condition than the other countries of Central Europe.—A.
