To the Editor Of THE TINES:
Why don't the big leagues have UNI
pires like our town boy, William Hud-

He Is fair, straight, and honest in his
decisions in the 101 games he umpired

MOROCCO AND INTERNA-
TIONAL ARBITRATION.

The Algeciras conference was time
serving expedient that gave Europe
time to draw back from the verge of
wars precipice. Nobody thought at the
time that it would settle for long the
difficult problem of the Moroccan sta
tus; and nobody is now entitled to be
surprised at the new move of Germany
in ripping the treaty into bits by &C.
cupying the port of Agadir. Agadir
commands the section of Morocco
which is perhaps of greatest potential
value to, Germany. Germans are heav-
lily interested there, and have been ex-
tending their holdings as fast as pos
sible.
Algeciras committed to France and
Spain the responsibility for policing
internal Morocco and patrolling it's
coast when necessary. Both countries
have expeditions now in the interior,
under this authorization. Germany,
evidently fearful that they will attempt
to establish themselves, hastens n naval
vessel to the most important port, as
warning that if there is to be land
grabbing, she will claim her slice. And
the slice demarked includes the rich
copper deposits which Germany has
long eyed with envy, for Germany is a
great consumer of copper, and has to
buy all she gets in markets over which
she has no sovereign influence.
France and Britain are mildly ex-
cited; nothing more. The notion of a
German purpose to grab a piece of
Morocco has sunk into the Anglo
French consciousness; it does not
cause 50 much surprise as few years
ago. In the end, Germany will some
how get away with what she seeks,
because the German bluff remains in
scrutable. Europe continues to doubt
whether Germany would fight; but Eu-
rope doesn't care to push its stack into
the middle of the table and demand a
look at the Kaiser's cards. Perhaps,
after all, he would like to try out his
new navy and his great army!
The United States is a signatory to
the Algeciras pact. There was never a
very satisfactory explanation why we
should have participated, and the Sen
ate in ratifying the arrangement care
fully limited it with the view to pre-
venting our embodiment in any war.
None the less, it would be more COM
Portable right now if we had kept out
when we should have done so.
Our only ex-President and our Presi-
dent are engaged in a joint debate
about the possibilities of international
arbitration as a means to preventing
wars. Algeciras saved one war, and
Europe's attitude in the present juno
ture indicates confidence that some
sort of arbitration will prevent an
other. Germany will find readily
enough that her "honor' is not men
aced if France and Britain stand Wig
orously together and indicate willing
ness to make the issue. More likely,
however, France and Britain will con-
clude that "honor" is not at stake. The
rest of us may reasonably indulge bit
of cynicism about the honor issue which
centers in ambition for commercial ad
vantages and naval bases, and inter
national competition in the game of
grab for both.

BEGIN 1T TODAY

That good old saying, "a stitch in
time saves nine," Is proved over and
over in our daily life.
For example, when you begin to
feel out of sorts, don't want to eat,
and don't seem 40 strong as usual, If
you would begin right away to use
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
preparation without oil, you could
easily put yourself in good trim again
with one bottle, or less. But when
you wait and grow worse all the
time, it is bound to take more.
We just got letter from Mrs
Mary Glynn of Mt. Vernon, N. Y, who
says: when my health became run.
down last March l took prompt &C.
ton to improve 1t and was told tina,
vinol was the best thing to build me
up. Using one bottle of vinol has
made me we'll and strong again"

The IInemnlnxed.


Galesburg Republican-Registe In
Iowa there is much crime. 1t seems
to lie confined to Nd .,artic IA" local
ity but to be quite general. 1t is the
opinion of the economic experts that
1t is due largely to the many unem-
ployed roaming throughput the state
or course men who are engaged con-
stantly in some work are not commit
ting crime. This Is the best evidence
that they are not. When man is cut
of work, and is getting hopeless and
desperate, his condition is one that
incites to unlawful acts. Idleness and
temptation to crime seem to so to-
gether. Hence the problem is to get
busy along some useful line those that
are not at work. One of the troubles,
however, that will confront the kindly
disposed is that some of these men are
not arduously seeking labor.
| In Des Moines the situation seems
to be deplorable. That city has been
getting some booming because of sup
posed thrifty conditions there and as
a consequence there has been a rush
of the unemployed there seeking work
When they got there they discovered
to their sorrow that the state had
been much exaggerated and that work
was not anywhere SO abundant as had
been represented. Consequently char
ity must take care of some of these
deluded men.
i 1t is bad thing for city to allow
itself to be advertised in this manner
and to permit outsiders to be deceived
into coming, when there is nothing
for them to do when they arrive. This
lis thing that was common few
years ago in some far western cities
We remember friend who left a
good lob here and went to one of the
California cities on the strength OF
glowing articles representing that
work was there very abundant and
that excellent wages could be obtain
ed. He even left good home here tc
follow this rainbow. After he goi
there and had had time to study con
ditions he wrote back telling his
friends by no means to come but tc
stay where they were.
AS a rule when city is prospecting
that fact OF itself, will get to be
known and undue putting is unneces
sary. The man who rushed to Des
Moines on the strength of the print
ed announcements that work was
abundant there is to be pitied.

LATE AFTERNOON
PRESS BULLETINS
LBy the United Press.]

NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Astonishing
charges against the Russian govern
ment were made today by Jacob H.
schiff at a conference Of prominent
Jews and Senator'S Root and O'Gor-
man, called to urge the senators to
vote for the resolution Immediately to
abrogate the treaty with Russia sign
ed in 1882 because that country bars
American citizens of Jewish birth.
Directly connected with the charges
was an accusation against Ambassador
w. R. Rockhill and John Hays Ham.
mond, personal representative OF
President Taft at the coronation. In
directly Schiff included Presiden;
Taft but absolved him from all blame
He declared President Taft had told
numerous delegations in good faith
that all efforts were being made to
obtain change of attitude toward our
citizens from Russia, adding that
Rockhill was exerting all his influence
in that direction. Mr.. Schiff then
claimed that the ambassador was not
doing all he should ~ was trucking
the president into believing that he
was.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, No IA re-
markable clinic in surgery was held
in connection with the clinical con.
gress of surgeons of North America
this week, being conducted in the
Methodist Episcopal hospital by Dr.
u ]. Hammond.
The most ingenious operation was
one which only once before had been
tried in this country, and then by
DR.. Alevis Carroll of New York. That
operation, as well as the one Just
performed, included an anastomoses
of blood vessels, and the joining of
the veins, arteries and other ducts
and glands was highly satisfactory.
Only in one particular did DR..
Hammond's operation differ from that
Of DR.. Carroll, and in that respect it
stood out far in advance of that of
the New York surgeon. DR.. Carroll
had transplanted the kidney of dog
to the place Of the diseased kidney
which he had removed It was taken
/ from the dog few moments before II
was to be transplanted. In this last
case, DR.. Hammond ~ the kidney
of 4 man who was (.lled in an automo
bile accident the day before.
