Cheerful note: About nine thou- sand Americans now living won't. around to celebrate Christmas this year— the autos will get them. Soldiers of a country are not a special class, entitled to superior privileges, re- gardless of how many favors are granted to them by the politicians, Great Britain, France and the United States acted together to assist the French people to escape some of the perils of re- valuation of the frane.

If we become lax in our vigilance, it may be too late when we wake up. The democratic candidate for the presidency has it on the republican candi- date for the presidency in the race for oratorical honors; on the other hand the republican vice presidential candidate has forensic abilities to which the democratic runner-up cannot aspire. Agitation for completion of the inter- coastal waterway down the Atlantic coast has begun again. The Key West Citizen sounds the cry, pointing out that only two short links must be completed in order to make the “inside route” complete from New Jersey to Key West. One is a stref through Jersey itself, to obviate the roug! Cape May and Delaware bay passage, and the other a stretch through the keys from Bahia Honda to Key West. Although the latter stretch is of no direct interest to Mi- ami, the former is. Measured in terms of revenue brought by yachts too small to hazard the outside passage, completion of the “inside route” is of real importance to ‘the entire Florida ‘coast.—Miami News. x THE GREATEST TREES California has long been considered the home of the largest trees on earth, but fantastic stories of great trees in vari- ous parts of the world led by T. J. Starker, professor of forestry at Oregon State Col- lege, to make a systematic study and in- vestigation of the subject for the last 15 years. This he has done through travel and by correspondence, with forest. experts all over the globe. Many of the, claims con- j cerning great trees proved entirely false or greatly exaggerated, atid he has at last come to the conclusion that. the world’s; largest trees are in California, after all. The tallest tree, he declares, is a red- wood in Humboldt State Park, 364 feet high, while the most massive is the Gen- eral Sherman tree, a sequoia in Sequoia National Park, which is 279 feet high, with a diameter of 36.5 feet. If cut into lumber the General Sherman tree would yield over 600,000 board feet, or enough to build more than 100 five-room houses. Among the other big trees in Sequoia National Park are the Abraham Lincoln, height 270 feet, diameter 31 feet; the William McKinley, height 291 feet, dia- | meter 28 feet; and the Dalton, height 292 feet, diameter 27 feet. It is a strange faet that the sequoia tree, named for Sequoyah, the illiterate American Indian genius who invented the Cherokee alphabet of 85 characters, native only to the mountains of California. The largest of these trees are estimated to be more than 3,000 years old. is THE LEAGUE AFFRONTS MUSSOLINI Italian soldiers may conquer Ethiopia, just as Japanese soldiers may rule China, and there may be no power on earth strong enough to challenge the domination of might in thes areas, but the action of the League of Nations in seating the delegates from Ethiopia at least serves notice that, in principle, such conquests are not recog- nized: There will be people, of course, to as- sert that such action is valueless, that the be| Chinese and Ethiopians have been despoil- ed and that the world sat back and watch- ed the proceedings. However, what was the alternative? Only war, that’s all. It may be wiser for men and women to have patience and allow time to work its solution. Maybe, in a few years, the peaceful nations of the world will be stronger, financially and militarily, and able to make their voices more powerful. Nothing moves the will of a dictator, bent } upon his way, except armed strength and the belief that those opposing him: will use it. Until the rest of the world is strong enough to overwhelm an aggressor and sure enough of its ground to give him plain notice of such an intention, you may expect the dictators to talk big and act foolishly. A BIT LATE TO PRAY! “0 i Two brothers were hanged this month in Canada for killing a man in connection with an attempt to kidnap his baby girl for the advancement of an extortion plot. As they stood on the scaffold, back to back, one complained that the noose was “too tight,” adding, “I can’t pray.” The trouble with the man wasn’t the tightness of the noose. He _ evidently hadn’t thought of prayer for a long time. Like a number of other people he took care of himself without relying upon Divine power until it was a bit late to learn the art of prayer.
