Iahead, were nevertheless agreed that
there was nothing to it but success for

that Germany is made to comply with the terms that have been imposed upon it or to see that it pays for the havoc that it has wrought. They thus appear to lean toward Germany and favor the idea of it's not signing and this in spite of the Way in which they have been treated for the past five years by the German government. But that of course would not deter the allies from going ahead with the blockade. Such could be maintained without their assistance. It was done before and can be done more easily again if it becomes necessary, and such being the case it would not be likely that such neutrals would get any more consideration than they ee- serve from the allies. though they must understand that they are de- pendent to no small extent upon the group of nations that has been fight ing Germany.

ENDURANCE FLYING TESTS.

It was not to be expected that be- cause the American seaplane NC-4 reached England that other efforts to cross the Atlantic would be aban- doned, or that because Hawker and Grieve were unsuccessful that there would be no further attempts to make the crossing in one non stop flight be- tween Newfoundland and Ireland. Both of these undertakings have sim ply given encouragement to others and it can be expected that there will be additional endeavors until the matter becomes a common occurrence.
 This is indicated by the fact that plans are already underway for just such attempts. Those engaged in such undertakings are of course going to gain certain advantages from the lessons which have been gained from the flights of the American seaplanes and the experience of the Sopwith machine in which the intrepid aviators were forced to descend in midocean. Sufficient capacity for carrying enough fuel to insure reaching the other side in case everything goes well together with adequate motive power and the proper attention to safety precautions will doubtless character ize all future efforts.
 And while the negotiation of this span from shore to shore is being given more attention in the hopes of making it without aiigntIng, interest is also going to be aroused by the long cross country flight with one stop that is being arranged by army avia- tors. This is by nc means d small task. It calls for a powerful machine and clever operators who though they will be relieved of the navigating diff ticulty that goes with ocean flying will nevertheless have to face the problem of picking landing places in case a descent becomes necessary along the way. Just at present the endurance test appears to be getting due atten- tion both on land and water.

TIME TO END SUCH CRIME.

It is gratifying to learn that the government is taking steps in accord with the demands if the situation and increasing it's efforts in order to run down and bring to justice those who are responsible for the bomb plots that have stirred the country, and evil denced the determination on the part of the perpetrators to take the lives of public men and to wreck property because the government of the major ity docs not accord with their views. This discloses a concerted plan to disregard and disobey the laws of the nation.
 The more that is learned about the series of bomb explosions the stronger is the conviction that they were the result of conspiracy. but regardless of what attitude has been manifested toward such an element in the past it must be apparent that the time has a arrived when it must be handled in a different manner than in the past. The aim of such people is plainly to de- stroy American institutions and to overthrow organized government and replace it by the same sort of terror ism that has been displayed in Rus sia-
 It is perfectly evident that the government must put forth every pos sible effort in order to run down those who are responsible for such crimes Ii ft does not possess the necessary ma chinery or lacks for legislation such must be provided ana In view of the aroused public opinion there can be no question but what congress stands ready to see that it is furnished Il is time to make an example of those who are responsible and put an enc to such activity. It certainly cannot be accomplished through a spirit or toleration and the quicker that is re- alized the quicker VIII there be an enc put to such manifestations of anar- chism.

Misery and squa'or at Kavalla.

There are 50 many Aner:cans in kayalla, the first city in the Balkans to become a basis for American Red Cross operations, that it has some of the aspects of a real American city. Here the finest tobacco in the world the bulk of which is consumed in America-is grown. Here the great American tobacco companies have ex- port headquarters.
 For years Bulgaria has looked upon Kavalla with a covetous eye Although defeated and suhdued, she, looked hopefully to the peace congress at Paris to give her Kavalla as a port Kavalla is not a harhor but Bulgaria which now has only the shallow port of Dedegatch. at the mouth of tlle the Gulf of Enos. is anxious to get any outlet through Macedonia and the sea for her large output of tobacco, wheat livestock silk and altar of roses. and would be quite ready to spend any sum bor

These wealthy land owners are ex- tremeIy tenaneious of their enormous provileges which they fear to see cur tailed under any democratic regime, and, the correspondent says they now, have entered into a conspiracy with Germany's occupying forces to over throw democracy in Lettland and pre- pare the way for annexation to Ger many.
 The Germans act as though they owned the country and they show not the slightest consciousness of having been defeated in the war, says the correspondent To a British mission which protested against tAe disarming of the Lettish troops in Libau, von der Goltz replied that "the situation had been reestablished, but the cor respondent says there was not word of truth in this for arms were not :, restored to the Let's.

IKE DRUG EVIL.

Somehow or other the idea prevails that the big business in the distribu- ton of dope through illegal channels is chiefly confined to the big cities That there are centers where an enor- nous amount of sucsi business is done cannot be denied but they are by no means the only places where the de- moralizing traffic is carried on.
 A husband and wife nave recently pleaded guilty in Wyoming to illegal sales of narcotics and in their pos session was found correspondence which indicated that they had been engaged for 13 years in smuggling drugs into the country from Canada. having received at one time $S,000 worth of dope. Their operations were confined to the western states and they have unquestionably been mak- ing handsome living off of the slav- cry into which they have sold an un- known number of human beings.
 They of course are not the only ones who have been doing this very thing How many there are who are en- gagged in this business in the smaller cities of the country Is probably un- known but there is reason to believe that the number is not small. There are added attractions in the big cen ters for engaging in such traffic be- cause of the greater number seeking such drugs but there are nevertheless enough dope peddlers scattered throughout the smaller communities to cause the authorities in every state as well as those in the large cities tc give their closest attention to the i elimination of this evil. It is time tt shake off the grip that the dope habi l has gotten upon the country, but i will not be accomplished by winkinG at it or by lodging the responsibility which rests upon their shoulders il

STORIES OF THE WAR
The Situation In Lettland.

Correspondence of The Associated Press ).-Genera1 von der Goltz, com- handler of the German troops in Lett and, or LatVia, one of the formerly Russian Baltic provinces of which Libau and Riga are the chief ports has established a virtual dictatorship in that country under the pretcnse that he is fighting the spread of Bol- v SheviSm among the Let's. according 1 to the Reuter- correspondent at Libaa About the middle of April Baltic German troops which had been op- erating in Lettland against the Rus sian Bolsheviki were withdrawn from the front back to Libau and under ] the direction of the Baltic Baron ! Manteuffel, executed q coup q etat, overthrowing the Lettish provisional government and arresting the Lettish cabinet. Premier Ullmanis, however. eVaded arrest and found asylum under the protection of a British mission mission which was backed by the presence of a British warship in 1 Libau.
 The correspondent asserts that this coup q etat undoubtedly was carried
 out with the connivance of von der Goltz.' It will be recalled that one Berlin newspaper has admitted that
 the movement was the result of an
 intrigue conducted by the German
 barons in the Baltic provinces who
 it said, has supplied money to main tain German troops at Libau
 Von der Goltz owes his presence ir Lettland at the head of a large force of purely German troors to an article
 of the armistice in the world wal
 which provided that German troops
 should remain in Lettland until the Allies gave orders to the contrary
 writes the correspondent. His close
 supporters are Baltic German barons
 who are descendants of the old Teu-
 tonic Knights. They hold immense
 tracts of land and enjoy feudal privi
 leges of kind that were abolished
