¥astly Improved Conditions Will Cope With Threaten-~ ing Clash May 1. SCOTT MOWR Cienge 3 ER. y News . BY PATL YPARIS. April 23.—The the fatal date, May 1, and ¢ ¥ of another crisis betwes and’ the allies tends to many people’s eves the about present conditions in Europe. The truth is that despite the gloom predictions of malcontents and pessi- mistic and opposing parties, immense Fides have been made within twelve xmhs toward the liquidation of the war and the re-establishme:t of gen- uine peace. On ear ago Poland and Russia were at war, Italy and Jugoslavi were on the verge of war, the allies were fighting the Turks in Asia- Minor. the peoples of central and east- orn Furope were a prey to hunger and disease and the demand exceed- ed the supply in nearly all lines of production. There were sorcs and trouble spots all over Europe. discon- tent was rife and anything seemed possible. r Today This Is Changed. Today all this is changed. Russia 1s no longer subject to external ag- ression and is free to try to work out er own salvation. The long quar- rel between the Italians and Jugo- slavs has been appeased by the treaty ot Rapallo. Stabilizing alliances have been concluded between Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and Rumaria, between Rumania and_Poland and between France and Belgium. The Russo- German plot to crush Poland failed Qefinitely on the banks of the Vistula Jast August and the danger of a Imilitant alliance between Russia and Germany was, at least, momentarily verted. 2 & Ererywhere problems of internal Feconstruction are taking precedence ever dreams of immediate vengeance and aggression. All the clauses of ahe Versailles and St. Germain Areaties, except those dealing with reparations, the punishment of war criminals and German disarmament, have been successfully executed. All the prescribed plebiscites have been held without great disorders and Eu- rope's new boundaries are now an accomplished fact. 3 Famine Is Averted. < The so-called mew states, the im- fninent dissolution of which was widely predi r. Ing every evidence of real vitality. Panger from famine and epidemics Seemingly has been averted. The @cath rate is falling and the birth rate is rising. Even Austria is in a #ar better condition than was believed possible a few months ago. The Jeague of nations has been organized anad is at work successfully, espe- cially in the regions allotted to its administration. Socially, both radi- galism and reaction have tried to fverthrow the new order. and both %ave been defeated. The Kapp rising In Germany and the Hapsburg temta- tive in Hungary have failed as slg- Tally as have various communist out- Breaks. > Secial Conditions Improve. - Throughout Europe social conditions are improving continually. Even the present industrial _crisis, though causing a certain amount of suffering, | is propably a blessing in disguise. Ender ' its influence the supply ha @nce more begun to exceed the de mand and the cost of living has begun Jo fall. Travel is becoming easier and communication by mail and wire is gradually improving. In the mear| east France and Italy have reached a peace agreement with the Turkish na- tionalists, and as Soon as the Greeks make sure o ftheir inability to enfarce the treaty of Sevrés. 'single handed e situation there is almost certain Amprove rapidly. #To brief, as said before, the one gréat immediate obstacle to the re-, turn of relatively peaceful relations is the question of German repara- | tions. For this reason, if for mo oth- | er, the French are determined to set- | 116 ‘it without more ado, and as mod- erate measures seem to have failed they are almost unanimously disposed to try force of arms. Anything, it is; felt, is better than the persistence of | the present uncertainty. The time is ripe for action, and the French are ' 1} i i ~pproach of certain- Germgny obscure in real facts gonfident that if their tentative proves ®uccessful the whole world will Wreathe a sigh of relief.

LAFAYETTE TREE NAMED FOR HALL OF FAME| SPEEDS ENGLISH COURTS Mrs. Richardson Pushes D. A. R. Plan to Make Yorktown Fa- mous Like Mount Vernon. The Lafayette tree at Yorktown has been nominated for a- place in the Hall of Fame of the American Forestry Association by Mrs. William an of the D. A, R, who presented the association with a magnificent picture of the tree and the colonial Peadquarters at Yorktown. The Daughters of the American Revolu-| tion have decided to make Yorktown a shrine as is Mount Vernon. the home of George Washington. The Thomas r, place at Yorktown was the place where Lafayette planted this tree when he returned to the United States on a visit in 1824. place is now the property of George P. Blow. Cannon balls can still be found in the walls of the old place. A road of remembrance, every state could have a part, suggested to Mrs. Richardson by P. S. Ridsdale, secretary of the Ame can Forestry Association. that Mrs. Richardson take up her organization plans for making the approach to the battlefield a me- morial_drive planted with memorial was trees that would in the years to come | A |be one of the sights most worth see-ibY a jury in the United States ai ing in the world. He pointed- out what was being doffe in this country i ‘with roads of remembrance and what a great work was yet to be done. “The road to Mount Vernon should be made a road of remembrance,” mald Mr. Ridsdale, “and there of course will have to be a magnificent road to Yorktown. Let it be more than a mere strip of asphalt. Into Wash- ington now there is a connecting link with the Lincoln highway. Why not continue it along a_tree-planted road of remembrance to Mount Vernon and to Yorktown? The south and the north, Lincoln and Washington, surely offer the inspiration for a highway of which the ’fi‘flf’ could justly boast be- fore the world. | | \ One hundred sets of this | mewly devised apparatus, which | comaists of etorage batteries carried on the back and a sys- tem of vari-colored dights sus- pended from the chest have been rdered, Mr. Harris said.

Concerns that rode safely and stead- ily forward. as the commercial barom- eter dropped, earned a new respect and confidence. Of these, Firestone is a notable ex- ample. It would be hypocritical to deprecate our own pride in Firestone's record or to minimize our gratification in Firestone's present position in the industry. Such honest satisfaction is only nat- ural. We see today the fulfilling of what Firestone men have worked for. Firestone's position standsclearly de- fined inthe mind of the tire-using public, a water main. Excitement followed as passengers tried to scramble out of stalled trains. The accident occurred about 9 o'clock, during the rush hour. At 10:30 officials of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company said the break had been located and pumps were be- ing used to drain the tube. All trains between the Grand Cen- tral station and Brooklyn bridge were halted by the automatic safety block ystem. Passengers on a stalled ex- press train near the Bleecker street station, a short distance from the scene of the break, left the cars and crossed the tracks on improvised board platforms. Many were drenched when they reached the street. 8,000 MINERS IDLE.

Name on the Tire to the Man ) Who Puts the Tire on the Car CRAT 1 i Who Puts His Most Miles per Dollar—the estab- lished Firestone standard—is under- stood and accepted now as never before. The future is bright for the Firestone dealer because he has earned the car owner's trust. He has a product of exceptional quality. Back of him is an organiza- tion solidly built, possessing adequate resources, long experience and an en- viable record for fair dealing. From the man who puts his name on the tire to the man who puts the tire on your car the whole Firestone organization is equipped and ready to serve the fast multiplying army of Firestone users. 0 s £l \ ’
