ALL MADE EQUAL BY DEATH
No Democracy Ever Conceived is at
All Comparable to That OF
the Tomb.

in the democracy of the dead all men
at last are equal. There is neither
rank nor station nor prerOgative in the
republic of the grave. At this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
Wise, and the song of the poet is 81
lent Dives relinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the rich
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury and the debtor
is acquitted of his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his digni-
ties, the politician his honors, the
wording his pleasures; the invalid
needs no physician, and the laboref
rests from unrequited toll.
Here, at last, is natures t1naE oe'
cree in equity. The wrongs Of time
are redressed. Injustice is expiatedt
the irony of fate is refuted; the un'
equal distribution of wealth, honor, ca
pacity, pleasure and opportunity whlch

SPROUTS After 1000 Years.

At the Zensui Temple, Iwane village,
HOga-gun, Shiga Prefecture, very an
cient wooden idol of Vaisravana was
opened four years ago and some rice
that had reposed therein fully ten CEN
turies was removed and planted. The
seeds terminated and the rice grown
therefrom appears to be similar in all
respects to that of the present day.
The yield was large and the crop for
next year from this seed is expected
to be excellent.
Vaisravana is the God of Treasure.
When the statue was repaired a bag of
coarse f1axen textile was eXhumed con-
taining rice seeds, with a piece of pa
per bearing the following inscription
i'm Chinese: "This image has been en-
graved for the peace Of the world. II

The MaunetIc Compass.

Experiments with magnets known to
the scientists $500 years ago, which,
developed by Doctor Gilbert and Peter
Perigrinus, led up to the present-day
admiralty compass of Kelvin, were
shown recently by Prof. ]. A. Fleming.
professor of electrical engineering, Uni
versity Of London, at the Royal iTsti-
tute.
"The earth is a magnet" said the
professor, "and every piece of iron that
has stood in a vertical position for any
length of time is magnetized by the
earth. You can try it on your garden
ratings"
The hostelry sign, "Tbe Goat ant
Compass" he said, "does not refer t.
the mariners friend, but is a contrac
ton of the saying, "God encompasses
us" and the compass takes its name
rot from the magnetism which governs
its working, but from the circular ear'
which encompasses the needle.

SUFFERED FOR HIS COUNTRY
SiIas Deane, First American Diplomatic
Agent, Received Harsh Treatment
From Government.

Silas Deane, the first diplomatic
at GrOtOG, Mass, close to 200 years
ago. He became a merchant and was
a delegate to the first Continental con-
gress. In the spring of 1776 he was
sent to France as a secret diplomatic
agent. He posed as a merchant from
Bermuda, and upon his arrival in
Paris sought an interview with Count
de Vergennes, the Minister of Foreign
Affaires, who refused to receive him.
Deane was reduced to the direst pow
erty and was elected by his landlady.
Subsequent American ambassadors
have complained of the lack CT suit
able embassies, but Deane was re-
duced to a point where he had to ac-
cept poor lodgings from a sympa-
thetic Frenchman. Eventually he was
given an audience with Vergennes and
began the diplomatic relations which
eventually resulted in the French al
liance. In 1777 Deane was recalled.
In the bitter controversy which fol-
lowed his recall Thomas Paine reveal

colonies had been furnished by the
French government. This was con.

Russians Here Call On
Allies to Aid Nation
New Inter-Party League De-
mands Reputation of
Brest-Litovsk Treaty

A declaration calling upon the Allies
to give Russia "active general and mil
itary help" and demanding the repudi-
alton of the Brest-Litovsk treaty was
adopted at meeting here last night
by the newly organized Inter-party
League for the Restoration of Free
Russia. The league includes all the
Russian political organizations in New
York which recognize the authority Of
the Constituent Assembly. The Boil
sheviki and the monarchists are the
only groups not affiliated with it.
The temporary executive committee
consists of A. A. Boublikov, former
Commissaire of the Duma and Acting
Minister of Means Of Communication
during the March revolution; DR.. S.
M. Ingerman, leadar of the New York
group of the Russian Social Demo-
Gratis; General C. NJ. Oberouchev, Mill
tary Commander of the Kiev district
under the Provisional Government; A..
j. Sack, director Of the Russian Infor-
nation Bureau in the United States,

Of the al-Revolutionists.

Believe Former Premier, on
Way to America, Hopes
to Overthrow Bolsheviki
Formulate No Scheme
Attempt to Urge Intervention
in Siberia Would Be De-
nounced, Says Leader

Socialists throughout the country are
anxiously awaiting the predicted ar
rival here on Monday of Alexander F.
Kerensky, former Premier of Russia,
who is said to be on the high seas,
headed for an Atlantic port with "Ba-
bushka" Breshkovskaya, the Mother
of the Revolution" and several men,
bers of Kerensky's original cabinet.
1t was the opinion Of New York So
cialists that the Socialists of the coun-
try would present a united front
against any attempt by Kerensky to
overthrow the Bolshevk government,
but there has been no movement start
ed by the Socialists here, as yet, &C
cording to Morris Hillquit, Alexander
Trachtenberg, and other leaders.
Trachtenberg, who is Yale man and
a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War,
having been decorated with the Cross
of st. George for deeds performed dur
ing the Battle Of Mukden, said that
Socialists here, being naturally in SYM
pathy with the Bolsheviki, would do
whatever they could to prevent the
success of Kerensky's mission, if the
mission had for it's object the over
throw of the present Russian govern
ment.
Opposed to Siberian Plan
1T is possible" said Trachtenberg,
that Kerensky is coming here with
plan to drive out the Germans from
Russian territory which they now oc-
cupy. But it is more likely, as indi-
Gated in The Tribune's Washington
f0h m .Hov hot l.
in behalf of the Semenoff Cossack
movement in Siberia, or to urge upon
the President acquiescence in Japan's
intervention on behalf of the Cossacks
in Siberia.
~ believe that if this is Kerenskv's
mission it should fail. The Bolsheviki
have given Russia the only stable and
organized government since the Car
was deposed. 1t is absolutely anti
German, and when Trotzky's army of
defence becomes real, big, tangible
military force the Germans will be
driven from Russia. The recent capt
ure OF Rostov by the Bolsheviki after
q victorious fight with the Germans de-
Tending that city shows what the Allies
may expect of the Soviet government
once Russia is thoroughly organized"
No Help From German Socialists
Trachtenberg said that little help
could be expected from the Socialists
of Germany, because they were under
the iron heel of the Prussian military
despotism.
But while there will be no revolu-
ton in Germany as there was in Rus
sia,, we can expect something pleasing
to happen in the Dual Monarchy" he
continued. II just opened my mail this
morning and found in the 'Arbeiter
Zeitung' Of Vienna an article showing
that Austria does not share Germany's
lmperialistic policy. Here is one line
from it: One thing is certain:. We
are not going to allow Austrian blood
to be shed either now or later to retain
German conquests. Germany's action
in Russia will have to be paid for by
another war as soon as Russia is
strong enough
"And the 'Arbeiter Zeitung' has it
right; Germany's trampling under foot
OF war-weakened Russia will be paid
tor IN German blood when Russia is
strong enough"

Member Suggests
Hague Conference
Says u. S. Might Ask Hol-

Would Continue War
George NicolI Barnes Pro.
poses League of Nations
Binding All Powers

LONDON, May ia suggestion
that the United States might ask Hol-
land to take the initiative in calling
upon the Allied governments to confer
at The Hague. not in substitution for
but as a preliminary to the third
Hague peace conference. was made by
George Nicoll Barnes. Labor member
of the War Cabinet without portfolio,
ir discussing the question Of league
of nations last night. He expressed
hope that another Hague peace con-
ference would be held after the war;
An Allied conference at The Hague
now, Mr.. Barnes added, could be held
without slackening efforts to beat the
Germans, and ain fact might even in
duce Germany to respect her position
in the world" People everywhere are
ready for such meeting, he said.
Mr.. Barnes laid down the principle
that league of nations must be bind
ing upon all powers, and that all ma
tions must agree to submit disputes
to world tribunal for settlement. He
declared there must be an agreement
on reduction of ornaments, the sup
preston of private capital in their
manufacture, and the Inauguration of
some international machinery by which
effect could be promptly given to in
ternatonal DEGREES.
The inclusion of Germany in a league
of nations, the speaker added, should
not be regarded as a favor to Germany,
but rather as something to which she
should be required to subscribe. 1t

One Wooden Ship
Launched Daily
For Four Weeks
Concrete Vessel, Faith, Sue
ceeds on Trial; Maiden
Trip Soon

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Wooden
ships have been launched at the rate
of more than one day for the last
four weeks. The Shipping Board an
nounced to-day that seventeen wooden
craft, aggregating $4,000 tons burden,
had been added to the American mer-
chant marine IN the first seventeen
days of this month.
Last Wednesday four wooden hulls
were launched, totalling 14,5O0 tons,
probably the greatest amount of
wooden tonnage ever launched in a
single day in the history of American
yards. The four ships were the Pasca-
goula, $500 tons, Pascagoula, Miss,
the frst wooden vessel launched for
the Shipping Board in District 5, COM
Prlslng the states Of Mississippi, Ala
bama and Louisiana; the Kuwa, $500
tons, st. Johns, Ore; Blackford, 1000
tons, Aberdeen, WASH, and Basco, $500
tons, Houston, Texas.
An official report to-day on the be-
navlor of the concrete ship Faith dur
ing her second trial trip off the Pa
enc Coast, in strong wind and choppy
sea, says the vessel is believed to be
1uliy equal, IT not superior, to any
steeI ship OF the same size and equal
power. The Faith soon will undertake
her maiden voyage with cargo,
The Faith made 1912 knots. Desnite
much pitching, there was little vibra-
ton. Scientific instruments, observed
by experts of the Shipping Board
showed that the vessel withstood g
maximum range longitudinal stress
amidships of 1900 pounds per square
inch In steel deck and bottom.
