Tactics failed isouth of Arras. And the relative posi- | tions of the armies remained un- changed. Ludendorf picked the first day of | Spring in 1918 to settle the future of the world for a few generations at least. He hit the ends; he drove at the cen ter; and he was close to Amiens and | its cathedral with its famous rose col- ored glass windows. A few more at- tacks and the line would have been broken and the way to the coast would have been cleared—but two _ greal armies—the Prench and the British, with Americans in both—retired, re- formed, retired, reformed and at long last Ludendork asked for time out. Right there the result of the war was hanging in the balance. Had tactics succeeded the war would most certainly Plxv:’?:en prolonged beyond November No scientist, no militarist, whatever his rank or prestige, can estimate ex- actly just how much—how many divi- sions, how many guns—were needed to turn failure into success. All that the greatest expert can say now—after years of objective, dispassionate study— is that a few more pounds of pressure were all that were needed to turn an indecisive engagement into a first-rate engagement. Much Written on Jutland. Turn to the sea and the story reads the same way. Many books have been ‘written on the battle of Jutland. Jelli- coe’s orders and Beatty's initiative have {furnished topics for countléss columns in books, magazines and newspapers. A whole school has grown up in favor of ‘Winston Churchll{'l military strategy and another school has stood in the way of his political progress because it op- posed his military views. David Llyod George won a long series of parliamen- tary battles by narrow margins and | then finally met his Waterloo on a non- essential, & matter of the smallest Sm-[ portance to the future of the British Empire. Emphasis has been placed on minor details because it is quite possible the London conference will complete its negotiations successfully for the sole Teason that much attention has been given to the small things calculated to plague the delegates. e had confer- ences before the Great War: we have had dozens of them since the signing of the treaty of Versailles. Time has taken a heavy toll on the prominent figures who sat in the Supreme Council, in the Council of Ambassadors, in the other gatherings of the statesmen. We have had stories of the effect on inter- | national relations of the so-called golf game between M. Briand and Mr. Lioyd and completed arrangements for the affair, Conference Mr. Wakatsuki, a former prime minister. The “chief French delegate is Andre Tardieu. Foreign Minister Dino Grandi will represent Italy. The American delegation is headed by Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, supported by Charles Francis Adams, Secretary of the Navy: Dwight W. Mor- row, Minister to Mexico; Gen. Dawes, Ambassador to the Court of St. James; Hugh Gibson, Ambassador to Belgium: Senators David Reed and Robinson and the naval experts. If this conference had to solve prob- lems involving only Great Britain, Ja- pan_and the United States it would reach an agreement in a comparatively short time. Unfortunately, it is not easy of solution because the particular problems of France and Italy impinge themselves in the most positive way. It seems reasonable to expect that Britain, Japan and America can reach an early agreement. In fact, there is no(hlx:s standing in the way of the Unit States making an agreement with any power. The last few years have brought about a profound difference in the re- lations between Japan and this country. New Atmosphere Created. Aside from the economic changes which have taken place in Japan, a wholly new atmosphere has been creat- ed. The tension which, rightly or wrongly, existed here has been les- sened while, on the other hand, the Japanese people have adopted a more friendly attitude to the United States. So far as Japan and America are con- cerned the conference opens under most favorable conditions. Great Britain's attitude is almost too well known to need explanation. Nich- olas Roosevelt's book, ‘“America and England,” which makes its appearance on the very eve of the conference, brings out strikingly the various points at which the two countries are in competi- tion. Mr. Roosevelt stresses the differ- ences, but nothing he has to.say con- vinces us that it will be impocsible for America and England to come to an agreement which will limit naval build- ing. The more difficult the problem, the more points at which the two coun- tries are in competition, the more rea- son there will be to applaud the prog- ress that is made. e | preliminaries to the Washington co ference in 1922 one cannot but marvel at the change wbich has taken place in the relations among England, Japan and America. If there were no Mediterran: Sea, no colonies in Northern Africa, there would b> no doubts regarding the suc- cess of the conference. Neither Japan nor the United States is keenly inter- ested in ths Meditrranean, but the three other parties are, especially France and Italy. England happens to be pro- foundly interested in the Mediterranean as well as the Atlantic and Pacific George. Lord Balfour was once an ac- tive, if not enthusiastic, member of the | Council of the League of Nations. | 1f one doubts whether there has been any change in personalities and meth- ods all. one need do is to turn back to of 1922 conference affairs on a sound, economic basis. To- | day one must search carefully through the columns of the press to find the| names of the distinguished statesmen who figured so prominently there- : Lloyd George, Lord Birkenhead. M.| Tchitcherin of Russia, Premier Facta | of Italy and Louis Barthou, Prench min- ister of justice. Here was a conference which lasted for weeks and ended where | it started, or worse than that, it set| back the reconstruction of Europe be-| cause it brought out in no uncertain way that the parties to it were at complete divergence on all points of major importance. Events Narrow Viewpoints. Now we have another conference. Simple as its problems may seem it is highly complicated. Nationalism has grown stronger rather tl less im- portant since the Great War. Nations, overnments and peoples have suffered rom disillusionment, discouragement, depression and all the other things ‘which make peoples settle down to the hard battle of self-preservation. Our viewpoints have been narrowed by events. In the very order of events this conference should meet in an atmos- phere of positive realism. But sitting | in this conference will be new figures in international negotiations. The hosts will be Premier Macdonald | and Arthur (Uncle Arthur) Henderson, Oceans. The English Channel, which the British Admiralty succeeded in de- fending against German submarine at- tacks fairly successfully during the la years of the war, does not worry t British government and its naval advis | ‘ors half so much as the problem of | keeping the Mediterranean route to India and Australia open. France and Italy consider that they too have big problems in the Mediterranean. This conference is almost certain to last for many weeks and in the final analysis it will probably be the Mediterranean rather than the caliber of guns or the tonnage of cruisers that will test the patience and the ingenuity of the delegates. Patience Will Be Faclor. When it comes to patience Foreign Minister Henderson, affectionately known as “Uncle Arthur,” will be a prime factor, In his time he has played many roles—t:mperance lecturer, iron- worker, political boss, cabinet minister in a coalition government, special rep- resentative to Russia, but more impor. tant than all these a delegate to f numerable international labor confer- ences in which the only hope of success was the ability to discuss the problems patizntly and finally compose thz diverg- ent vie Premier Macdonald is even more adept at this tremendously im- portant work in an international gather- ing, but in Britich labor circles “Uncle Arthur” is regarded as a master. There can be no more patient delegate than Mr. Wakatsuki, who will support Premier Mamaguchi. Of all the vet- | erans the one most familiar with inter- national gatherings is M. Briand, who enters this conference with a new chief, Becertary of Btate for foreign affairs. “The Japanese delegation is hea: ed Premier Yuko Hamaguchi, assisted by graceful gesture, his prfl’nund knowl- costly In many ways.

W. =k and other local organizations. Dramatics in individual troops and the possible organization of a Girl Scout drama club are the result of Miss Schrottky’s stimulating lectures. A Girl Scout orchestra is in process of organization and girls who play in- struments and wish to join the orches- tra should register at headquarters. | MARINE CORPS I Bri Gen. Robert H.

He heard the call of the spindles and the looms. ‘Thus @egan the modern migration of the descendants of the original moun- tain settlers of the early eighteenth century to the rapid developing Pled- mont. It has continued uninterrup- tedly ever since. 4 By this time, 200 years after his fathers had settled in the mountain coves, the Southern mountaineer was illiterate. He was no_longer a land owner, but a tenant. He had nothing except a large family of children. He rarely saw any money except a few dollars derived from moonshining or hauling a few wagon loads of produce to the villages in the lowlands. Then came the agent of the cotton mills looking for “hands.” He painted a roseate picture of the “mill village.” The mill would furnish work for the heads of families and the children, too. | A house would be furnished free, or for a very small charge. Actual money would be available in the pay envelope each week. A new world was unfolded to the mountain tenant and his family. They seized it eagerly. They came by thousands. Mill villages sprang up on every hand. Cheap hydroelectric pow- el‘;sl the “white coal,” made them pos- sible. Beginning of Paternalism. Necessity compelled the mills to build “‘villages.” There was no other way of housing the thousands of new residents who were coming to operate the rap- idly multiplying factories. It was the beginning of “paternalism.” It was followed by the company store, now a thing of the past; by the company doc- tor, the community nurse, the commu- nity house and hospital. Everything was done for the worker. He was not allowed an opportunity to develop his initiative. He lost the power of thinking or planning for him- self. He was satisfled. He had more money than he had ever seen before or ;Migration of Mountaineers Presents Problem for Southe rn Mill Towns ever dreamed of. It never occurred to him that his hours were long. His wants were few and easily satisfied. But the world continued to progress. | The picture show, the automobile, the radio and many other things soon es- tablished themselves as necessities rather than luxuries. He needed more money to provide all these new things for himself and his family, periods of prosperity just before, during and following the World War brought with it higher wages. But the inevitable day of reckoning came. The industry was overbuflt. Night work had been inaugurated. Production exceeded consumption. In | the parlance of the trade the industry was_“sick.” Then 1921 came, with the bottom dropping out of business of all descrip- tions. Dividends vanished, impoverish- ind thousands of small stockholders. Wages went down. But living costs remained about stationary. Things formerly regarded as luxuries had lu- come necessities. Curtailment grams were inaugurated. Union Organizers Appear. At last the operative, but a decade removed from his mountain cabin, be- gan to realize that something was wrong. In many respects, he was still the mountaineer, illiterate, emotional, devoid of initiative, subject largely to the latest wave that struck him. The Unicn Textile Workers Union, of Labor, came to his rescue. Southern _textile afraid of organized Jabor. no experience with it. He used the mailed fist. He took the: easiest way out. Business was bad anyway, so he shut down his mill for a time. The operative suffered. The union disap- peared. That was eight years ago. Then came early in 1929, the Nationa!

At Marion six strikers were killed and deputy sheriffs are on trial for murder as a result. At Gastonia the chief of police was killed and several police offi- cers were wounded at a tent colony maintained by the union leadars. For this seven men are under sentence of 5 to 20 years for second-degree mur- der, Their appeal will come before the North Carolina Supreme Court next April.
