The victory at Yorktown was a French victory accord- ing to the artist. George Wash- ington played a secondary role. Gen. Rochambeau was the boy! My friend, Laurence Stall- ings, produced a stirring mo- tion picture entitled “The Big Parade,” which had a great and well deserved success in this country. When it was shown in England and France it al- most caused a riot. Our former allies protested because all the troops in the picture were ANDERING through the Versallles Palace we came to that long gallery where all the victories of France are re- corded in heroic paintings. The record proceeds chronologlc- ally from the earliest days and reaches its climaxes in the achievements of Louis XIV and the great Napoleon. One picture gave us a start and a chuckle.

All of this is unimportant, but it serves to remind us again of the real nature and in- fluence of war. But along with all this splendor, it calls for the worst qualities in human nature— hate, lying and boastfulness, and an unseemly vainglory. In one sense the big winner in the war was the late Eugene V.

Commodore Stevens sent the follow- h‘ direct challenge to the commodore, Earl of Wilton, on his arrival at Cowes: *The New York Yacht Club, in order to test the relative merits of the dif- ferent models of the schooners of the Old and New World, proposes through Commodore Stevens, to the Royal ‘Yacht Squadron, to run the g:;nm America against any number of sc! ers belvn'ln( to any of the yacht squt the kingdom.” He mud that the course should be over some part of the English Channel outside of the Isle of Wight, with at least & 6-knot breeze.

On Jul;y 30, 1860, Decle, a member of the Royll Western Yacht Club of Plymouth, Eng- land, entered her in the annual regatta of his club and on August 17 she beat her two rivals and won the prize of 60 sovereigns, In the Fall of 1860 she was fitted out for a cruise to ‘West Indies. The next year he again won a prize in the Queenstown Yacht Club on June 28, 1861, off Queenstown, Ireland. In later records, Mr. Decle appears in the dual character of yachtsman and block- ade runner, That was her last race in British waters, The next year she was found by United States Navy officers, sunk in St. Johns River, above Jacksonville, Fla., by an expedition organized by Ad- miral Du Pont to seize ports and towns of Eastern Florida.

After the valiant service during which she made valuable captures, the America was ordered north and was sold in the prize court of New York for $700.

Still another complication of that prohibition problem which has become 80 paramount in American politics and Ameri..n life in general, and this one has an international character. Min- ister Alfaro, from Panama, referred to 1t in a recent session of the Institute of Public Affairs of the Virginia University in_Charlottesville. The enforcement of the Volstead act in the Canal Zone, the Minister from Panama declared, is hindering good re- lations between Panama and the United . American authorities in the Canal Zone have prohibited t.hn trans- portation of liquor in that territory by citizens of the Panaman Republic, holding that such territory is under American control. The Panamans, on the otl.er hand, contend that the zone of the canal is not American terri- | tory, for it was only put under Ameri- can control for administrative purposes. ‘The treaty signed to that eff clearly specifies, according to Dr. that the United States nhould their rights over the sone “as they ‘were 80\ ‘reigne” of the territor- but it did not relinquish Panaman sov- ereigntv over the same. Panaman citizens are therefore In- penalized, that country the tunnpomuon of liquor Pm- aman territory, which would be quite amazing. ‘l‘hu- the grohlbmon question in the Canal Zone is not only one of dry and wet sentiments but also one of Ameri- can and Panaman rights.

A former “bluejacket” in the Marine Corps of the United States was inau- gurated last week President of one of =)th Caribbean republics. Gen.
