BILLIONS FOR WAR,
ONLY S1,O45 FOR
DOVE OF PEACE

The Dove Of Peace, elusive and
much sought after, must be sustain
ed! A palace for its habitation at the
Hague must be kept up That is the
representation made to the Senate,
which is considering the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill.
The measure calls for an appropria-
ton OF S1.O45.25 for bird seed" for
the Dove.
Mars is not satisfied with such a
trifling sum. At the same session
when the Peace appropriation was
asked for. Congress was notified that
81. 500, OOO, 900 would be needed to sus-
tain the God Of War on a diet Of
bullets and cannon fodder"
In the pandemonium that has
reigned Of recent months. not few
members of the House and Senate
had lost sight of the fact that The
Hague Tribunal and the beautiful
palace OF peace donated by Andrew
Carnegie still exists at the Holland
capital.
This government has for several
years contributed a subvention OF
$1,000 as its pro rata share in the
upkeep of the Peace Palace. Forty
three other nations have borne their
share OF the expense.
To detail the names OF the nations
who constitute the disappointment
airy Union today is almost like listing
the names OF the belligerents engaged
in the world war.
In its latest report the Carnegie
endowment for international peace
and goodwill among men says that
it's activities have been materially
curtailed and interfered with as a
result OF the war.

Compulsory price-fixing as a fail
ure, a danger, and a disaster was the
subject of the day in the Senate, and
| 1t was fairly discussed-in spite Of
completely the Senate may feel in the
responsibility for it.
AS Senator Lodge had already re-
/ viewed the investigation of famine
in sugar and coal, with price-fixing
and the attempt at compulsory con-
troll Of business as its incidents, he
was followed yesterday by Senator
James A. Reed, chairman of the sub
committee through which the inves-
tigation was made. There was no
essential difference of conclusion in
the summaries Of the Massachusetts
Republican and the Missouri Demo-
crat. Both made great speeches.
Otherwise, they differed In every
thing. Reed is the born fighter"
Lodge might ask no higher privilege
outside of politics than that the
scholar claims-of appealing TO pos
terity-"from Philip drunk to Philip
sober"
Reeds attacks on those amiable
and deserving dictators, Messrs.
Hoover and Garfield, may not be re-
membered after the coming of the
millennial period when dicetators will
not be worth mentioning. But the
principle he developed mot only for
the sake of which he fights like
Missourian"D is forever memorable
It is that supermen who attempt
omnipotence, In interfering arbl-
trarily with the habitual order
through which an orderly people
naturally develop their great and
growing results Of productiveness,
need to be omniscient as well as
omnipotent, II they are not to make
themselves disastrous as well as alb
surd in their attempts to demon
strate their superiority.
The whole subject Of "price-fldng"
was introduced in the Senate for the
day. by Senator Salisbury Of Della
ware. The occasion was a Food Ad-
ministration circular. giving an Of
ficial range Of prices for. tomatoes Of
from SIS a ton in the West to $21 in
the East. The Senate Committee on

As revolt against flood admins

veloped generally, the point on
which the Senate insisted was that
production is checked because it is
now generally assumed that the
food administration" is fixing
prices, and means to enforce them,
even when it is merely advising
what they ought to be. The revolt
was from the standpoint of ain
creased production" As far as they
have appeared before the Senate
Agricultural Committee, the food
producers do not want political
economy. They want "blue sky
prices" to reward their patriotism.
In the House, the Bureau of
Efficiency" Jared almost as badly
as the food and coal bureaus Jared
in the Senate: AS it had recon-
mended the taking over" of the
subtreasuries by the national re-

KEYSTONE POSITION
ON GIANTS HOOD00ED
Tough Luck Has Stood in Path of
Four Second Basemen.
Herzog Couldn't Get Along With Nc,
GraW-DoyIe Was Taken Ill
Niehoff Breaks Leg-Joe Rod
riguez Does Not Fit In.

The second base job on the New
York Giants must be hoodooed.
Tough luck in one form or another
mas stood in the path of four players
VINO have held down the keystone po-
sltlon for McGraw during the past
two years. If the job isn't hoodooed,
what is it?
Buck Herzog has tried holding down
the position for McGraw several times.
And Buck and that said job did not
get along. Early last season, after
he had been brought back to the
Giants for the third time, Buck slipped
on the floor of the Pennsylvania sta
ton while en- route to PHILADELPHIA
with the team and received severe in
juries. His condition has never been
the same since that accident, and yet
1t wasn't that alone which caused Nc
Graw to dispose Of him, for, IN addi-
ton, he failed to get along with the
Giant leader.
Next in line came Larry Doyle,
brought back to the New York club
via Chicago and Boston. Larry went
great guns for several weeks after the
| season opened. He led the league in
batting and he was going like a ma
chine in the field. Suddenly he was
taken ill and had to undergo an oper-
alton.
With Doyle out Of it, McGraw pur-
chased Bert Niehoff from the st. Louis
Cardinals, and just as the team was
getting ready to leave Philadelphia to
return to the Polo grounds after q
long and disheartening trip in the
western half of the circuit Niehof1
broke his leg.
Joe Rodriguez, the Cuban infielder
has played the keystone sack on and
off for the Giants all season, but Joe
doesn't have the best of luck in the
job, for though he works harder tt
make good than any other man who
ever held the sack down he can't make
himself fit into the combination.
The members of the Giants them
selves are beginning to think that tn
second basing job is jinXed to a fare
you-well and no one can blame them.
