World Outlook)

No fewer than 150 newspapers in for eign tongues are printed in New York. Japanese, Lettish, Persian, Serbian and Slovak-these and many other foreign peoples may in this city of diverse ma tionalities read a newspaper in their own tongue.
 Socialistic and anti-socialistic, anar- chistic Zionistic or anti-Zionistic are these foreign speaking papers. They often arc organs of workingmen's or ganizatiOns. but most of all are the or gans of city politics.
 When a Russian paper publishes an article entitled: "Is Patriotism Incur able?" and an anarchistic sheet in- quires, "What would happen if Presi- dent Wilson died?" is it any wonder that church and government become uneasy and agree that this babel of tongues can bear watching?
 l On the other hand, the influence ot many of these foreign papers is along 1 the line of Americanization. "One who | has once drunk out of Americas foun- tain" declares one with enthusiasm will always remain a free slave of tho country"

TRIED TO JUSTIFY
 THEIR POISON GAS
(Saturday Evening Post)

The Hague conventions depended upon honor, that hay margin of mor- als beyond the law. And q power sat at the boards of The Hague that was soon to repudiate all honor, to work out the old fashioned imperialistic idea Of the state to it's terrible but logical absurdity.
 The circumstances of the first poison gas attacks at the second battle of 1pres will show how Germany went about this, and will laso serve as text for my subsequent remarks. was sniping for news at the British rear when that battle occurred; and now, three years afterward I can pub fish some facts which censorships kept secret at the time.
 The French understood the possible uses of poison gas. Indeed. a certain French inventor had presented to the ministry of war plan for employment of an especially deadly gas. The French looked his plan over, found it practicable, and rejected it on the ground that it was contrary to The Hague convention. The plan and. the secret formula were kept by the war office against the the possible event that the Germans should throw civil lZed warfare to the winds and make effective use of such devices. As for the British they had never considered poison gas at all.
 In the early days of April. 1915, a German private crossed. No Mans Land and deserted to the British Upon being questioned he said: We are soon going to attack you with clouds of deadly gas. Pipes are being laiG from Lille" Now prisoners, especially deserters, often spin fairy tales in or der to make themselves important or to get special treatment; and deserters sent over to plant some strategetic lie are not uncommon. The thing was so preposterous that the intelligence de- partment paid no attention to the story.
 A day or so later the German official communique contained two or three | lines stating that the British had gained a temporary success on a cer- tain sector by the use of deadly gases Headquarters, I understand. was more amused than puzzled over this palpable whole cloth lie; the general staff took | it as a clumsy German attempt to slan6er the hated British.

GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYs
Experiments Have Shown These Pro-
6uce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.

It is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south are often distinctly vio-
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass in many colors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yell
low, but also green and bright yellow.
These colors, according to Mr.. Ro-
senthal, who conducted the expert
ments, are due to notifications of the
physical structure of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from mere surface tint to
complete coloration of the entire sub
stance. And the same method can be
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
and precious stones.
An interesting and important fact
about this glass that has been colored
by long exposure to X-rays is that it
becomes imperyious to the radiations
that have transformed it. Thus it can
be used as protection against the
glare OF the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.

Cherokee once Powerful.

The Cherokees are an important
tribe Of North American Indians. The
name means upland field, the tribe be-
ing peculiarly upland. They may have
so designated themselves to their first
European visitors They are probably
the people known additionally to the
DelaWares. as 4TalligeWi, a powerful
body which once occupied the val
legs of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers
and afterward was driven south by
the DelaWares and Iroquois. When
first known to Europeans Their. center
was in the southern Alleghenies, and
they occupied the mountains Of south
ern Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see. Their chief settlements were on
the head waters of the Savannah and
Tennessee rivers, and we're respec-
lively called Elati Tsalaki, or Lower
Cherokee, and Atai Tsalalzi, or Up
per Cherokee, speaking two different
dialects. AS the white settlers pressed
upon them they retreated westward
until by the treaty of 1885, they sold
all their remaining country, and the
main body removed to q tract assigned
to them west Of the Mississippi. A
considerable number remained be-
hind, and gradually concentrating in
western North Carolina, are now
known as the eastern band of Chero-
KEGS, numbering about 1000.

The old autocratic government of
Russia was always particularly friend
" to the United States. During the
Revolutionary war Russia offered to
mediate for peace and her offer was
accepted by the United States but de-
clined by Great Britain. Russia was
enc of the first governments to recog-
nize the independence of the United
States and continued to show her good
will by making treaties of anity and
commerce with the United States. Sew
eral Of our early presidents in their
messages referred to 'sthe continued
friendship Of Russia" In 1928, Rus
STA proposed friendly adjustment
through diplomatic channels OF the
boundary line between American and
Russian possessions in the Northwest
and President Monroe authorized the
United States minister to Russia to at
tend to the matter. In doing SO he
said: ''The government Of the United
States has been DESTROYS by this friend
" proceeding TO manifest the great
value which they have invariably at
tached to the friendship Of Russia and
their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with that government"
