Why Centennial Is Remembered.

Although it is more than two score
years since the great American cen
tennial turned the eyes of a world in
the direction of Philadelphia, Me-
mortal hall, one Of the three centen-
NAL buildings which were not removed
from FairmOnt park after the close of
the exhibition, is visited daily by many
persons. Among the attractions in
Memorial hall are the WOlstatch gal
lery, containing some of the finest spe-
cimenS of American and European art,
and some marvellous reproductions Of
the pictures of the Italian masters ;
the Observation-Disclosures collection of our
own colonial and of rocco curios some
postage stamps Of the early days of the
United States of America an exhibit

armor; a reproduction of some of the

How October Was Named.

October, during which the sun en-
tiers ScOrpio, the eighth sign of the
zodiac, and which derives it's name
from the Latin word "octo," meaning
"eight," was, Of course, once the eighth
month of the Roman year, which be-
gan with March. In our present, the
Julian calendar, October became the
tenth month, but the old name has al
ways stuck. 1t is commonly said that
the selection Of a deadly insect to rep
resent October was because the killing
frosts of October are as fatal to sum
mer's flowers as the sting of the scor-
pion Is to living creatures.
But the true reason for the choos-
ing Of this sign is to be found in the
fanciful astronomy of olden days,
which saw the shape Of the scorpion
In starry constellation, distinguish
ing that particular "house" or quarter
of the heavens through which the sun
passes In this lunar month.

WAY Army likes Motor Kitchens

Feeding soldiers is an important
matter, and the problems it pre-
sents have interested many of our in
ventors.
The travelling kitchen, run by mo-
tor power, is very natural product
Of the times. There are several types.
The kitchen, with its big kettles,
large enough to cook food for $50 men
at one operation, is mounted upon an
automobile truck, WHICH can also carry
reserve supplies to feed $50 addition
al men.
For the chauffeur a protected cab
is provided in front and the cook may
attend to his work In the kitchen even
while the truck is moving from place
to place, by standing upon step in
the rear. To prevent his being jolted
off on rough roads hand rail has
been provided to which he can hold.

Unpleasant stories are coming from
Vladivostok to the effect that the anti
bolshevik Russians there are bitterly
attacking the middle-of- the-road policy
that is being followed by the American
expedition, and are accusing the
Yankees of being the friends of the
bolsheviki. The antagonism is fos-
tered by several newspapers which are
said to have been subsidized by some
Japanese agencies. The Americans in
Siberia are scheduled for return in the
spring. Just why the Yankee troops
should fight the bolsheviki in north
Russia and not in Siberia is not dis
cernible at this distance.
Directly connected with the strained
relations in Siberia is the row in Tien
Tsin, where japanese troops and police
made what is declared to have been
an unprovoked attack on American
officials and soldiers. Washington
may demand an apology and repara-
ton from Tokyo.

The German government was report

with the prospect that Scheidemann

majority socialists and the independ-

When the Independents demanded the
repeal of martial law in Berlin Wolf

The Spartacans, who were compare

virtual defeat in Berlin, were begin

strike on March 26, declaring that this
time their success was certain. Their
previous operations along the Rhine,
according to Berlin dispatches, led the
French troops of occupation to seize
Mannheim Karlsruhe and two other
cities. This was neither affirmed nor
denied by the allies.

On Thursday all the neutral nations
that desired to present views concern
ing the league of nations were heard
by the subcommission of the commits
sion on the league, of which Lord Rob
ert~ Cecil is chairman. Most of the
neutrals, it is understood, favored the
league plan with some notifications.
The full commission, with Mr. Wilson
in the chair, met Saturday to consider
all proposed amendments and put the
plan into definite and final form.

Defeat in the north and west and
success in the south met the bolsheviki
In Russia. They attacked the allied
positions south of Archangel, but were
repulsed with considerable losses.
The Lettish troops also whipped them,
taking the important town of Mitau,
southwest of Riga, and compelling
them to retreat along the whole front
in that region; and the Poles forced
them out of Pinsk. On the other hand,
the bolsheviki, having forced the
French garrison of Nikolaiev to retire
to Odessa after fierce fighting, were in
possession of virtually the whole of
the Ukraine. Further east they

The completed peace treaty, it is
asserted in Paris, will be ready by
April 1 for presentation to the Ger
man plenipotentiaries. At the time Of
writing it was not clear whether this
pact would be preliminary treaty or
the final instrument, or renewal of
the strongest provisional armistice. In
any case, many important matters
were yet to be settled These included
numerous boundary disputes, in the
discussion of which Mr. Wilson was
taking leading part. According to
report, he told Premier ClemelH2 Ia
would notTsupporr -F'rancUs y N !! g
concerning the disposition of the west
bank of the Rhine, and the "Tiger"
thereupon tried to resign, but was dis
suaded by Premier Poincare, who
showed him France could not get along
without the support of America, no
matter what notifications Mr.. Wilson
might demand in the French program
for the treatment of Germany. Next,
President Wilson conferred with Prime
Minister Orlando of Italy, and, it was
believed, arranged for compromise
by which Italy will get Fiume and sur
render her claim to the Dalmatian
coast which the Jugo-Slavs demand.
This plan is opposed by Foreign Min
lister SOnnino and his party and by
much of the population of Dalmatia.
The western boundary of Poland has
not been definitely determined, though
the decision had been reached that the
Poles should have a corridor to the
sea, including Danzig.
The interallied commission on
Poland and the Germans had a great
deal of trouble last week arranging
for a cessation of hostilities between
the Poles and the Germans, but 1t was
said the desired result would soon be
reached The supreme council also
took steps to stop the fighting between
the Poles and the Ukrainians in Cali
cha.

Japan's delegates having evinced de-

the league covenant an article giving
the yellow races equal rights of immi-
grafton with the Caucasians, President
Wilson personally undertook to stave
Off this threatened complication. He
told Viscount Matsui the idea was i'm

The specific changes demanded by
the opposing senators have not been
made public except in a scattering
way, but courier is on his way to
Paris bearing a lengthy statement for
the French and British press prepared
by Senator Poindexter. The senators
Intend to escape any possible cable
censorship by sending all their COM
munications by courier. Meanwhile
they are defending their stand before
the American public in speeches and
debates, the most interesting of the
latter being between Senator Lodge
and President Lowell of Harvard uni
versity. Lodge said he favored a
league of nations, but not the cove
nant as presented. He declared the
whole treaty should be redrafted, but
did not believe that would be done in
Paris. Senator Reed violently at
tackled the league plan in speech be-
fore the Missouri legislature, where
upon fifty Democratic members of that
body formally demanded his resigna-
ton. That is fair sample of the in
tolerance displayed by the strongest
partisans of both sides in the dispute.
Several rather startling suggestions
have been made by the senators who
are fighting the Wilson plan. Lenroot
Of Wisconsin proposes that the senate
adopt resolution declaring the war
with Germany terminated and then
proceed to formulate a peace treaty.
Calder of New York wishes congress,
as soon as it is convened, to instruct
the American delegates how they
should proceed.

+ = Ieanwhife, true to their program Of
freeing the proletariat of the entire
world, the Lenine-Trotzky crowd are
increasingly active in lands far apart.
In China they are said to be organiz-
ing a great movement and spending
Immense sums of money, of which
they seem to have unlimited supplies.
Another uprising in India is being
planned. In western Canada their in
tiuence is apparent in the action taken
by the labor unions. Nearly all local
unions there have voted to secede
from the American Federation of La
Dor and to follow the l. w. w. plan of
organizing by industries instead of by
crafts. Their new body Is to be
known as the One Big Union. The
delegates to the meeting that took this
action adopted resolution commit
ting them to the bolshevik plan of a
dictatorship of the proletariat,' and
also voted for a referendum to call
general strike on June 1 for a 30-hour
five-day week
What Mr.. Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, will
say of this remains to be seen. At
present he is in Paris, where the COM
mission on international labor legisla-
tion has been in session. The British
draft convention for permanent or
ganization was amended and, adopted
for submission to the peace confer
ence. The American contention that
each country should settle its internal
labor problems without invoking the
power of the league of nations pre-
vailed. The commission heard dele
cation of women from the allied coun-
tries and promised to give due consid-
GRAFTON to the points presented, these
including eight claims in behalf Of

The Korean independence movement,
in reality a peaceful revolt, is attract
ing much attention and giving Japan
considerable concern. The Japanese
have arrested good many Koreans,
and with them some American mis-
sionary women, according to press
dispatches. No official stories of these
occurrences having been received in
Washington, the state department
cabled the American ambassador in
Tokyo to investigate the reports. The
Japanese, it is said, charge the Ameri-
cans with teaching the Koreans the
doctrines Of liberty and personal
rights.

announcement last Wednesday that

Stirring Up More Trouble

BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Seemingly convinced that, by some
means not yet revealed, the opposition
of large part of the American senate
can be overcome, the peace delegates
in Paris went ahead last week with
the work of welding the treaty and the
league of nations plan. President
Wilson declared there was no inten-
ton of handling the two matters sep
arately and in this he was supported
by others Of the leaders. 1t was admit
ted that the league plan would have
to be amended in various particulars,
and that the American delegates had
made up their minds to accept a GER
tain limited number of changes. Per-
haps it was believed these alterations,
which probably will not be at all radi
cal, would satisfy the Directing sena-
tors. Their attitude and language do
not tend to justify that belief.
Some of the correspondents in Paris
fear that insistence on joining the
covenant of the league with the peace
treaty will delay the latter. Others,
equally well informed, assert that the
difficulties will be speedily removed,
intimating that the principles of the
league, in so far as they have been
generally accepted, will be incOrporat-
ed in the treaty and that differences
of opinion regarding specific parts of
the covenant will be recognized and
discussion of them left to a later date.
Thus, they think, President Wilson
and the supporters of his plan will be
satisfied and the opposition in Ameri-
ca and elsewhere placated.

Then sister sorts out the other things that are hers
It gives queer different atmosphere to things when she

No wonder mother looks wlslful
