on which each ruling emir of Mecca
has written with his own hand his
name. Every one is descendant of the
Prophet MOhammed; the thirty-sixth
in direct line of descent, and therefore
the chief of the tribe of KOreish and
Keeper of the Holy Places, is Hus-
sein, new king of the Arabs, whose
rise insured the downfall of the Turks.
The thirty-seventh on the list of those

of HuSsein, who is now ruler of the
Syrian government, with his seat in
Saladin's city of Damascus. He is at

There is a very widespread feeling
in government circles that the Amer
icanizing" of our people must not be
allowed TO lag. 1t takes a great crisis
like the war to show the weak points
of a nation and our weakest point was
undoubtedly our large foreign popula-
ton. There are 100000 people in the
United States above the age of fen
years who can neither read nor write
the English language. During the war
it has been declared by every great
American that citizens of this country
must be absolute in their loyalty. This
cannot be accomplished unless some
method is followed by which our for
eign population may be educated to
see things from an American point OF
view. How to do it is question that
is one of our great reconstruction
problems.

People desiring to travel in any for
eign country experience a great deal
of difficulty in obtaining passports.
Before the war people could travel in
Great Britain, Germany, Holland, Bel
GUM, France and Italy without pass
ports. Now no one can land in any
European or South American country
without a passport and our govern
ment has been warned by most of the
countries that the fewer passports is
sued, the better they will like it. 1t
is rather surprising to find that the
English government is one of those
which has asked the United States to
restrict the issuing of passports to
those persons who absolutely must
visit that country. The scarcity of
food in the European countries is CIV
en- as the main reason why people
from America are not desired at the
present time. AS to the South Ameri-
can countries, our government has
found that a great many persons OBJ
tanned passports and went to that
continent and engaged in German
propaganda, and they are still appre-
hensive that German agents may be-
come a disturbing element in South
American countries where there are
large German populations.

history as the most remarkable man

and using the terse Anglo-Saxon which
is always effective. There has not

there ought to an inquiry to find

hty of men performed great deeds of
valOr. but these deeds have gone unre-
corded because the officer or man per-
forming them was not under the eye of
superior officer at the time who could
make a report of it. Private letters
have told of many heroic actions which
were seen ONLY by private soldiers, and

AS Europe looks toward peace Mex
leo looms upon the. horizon as a
trouble maker for this country. Are
we ever going to get back again to
the tranquil. days of peace and quiet
which the country enjoyed for a
quarter of a century before the Span
ish war? Of course there were little
difficulties with foreign governments,
but they were easily settled and of
small moment compared to those
which have come upon us from the
days we became a world power.
After the acquisition of the Phil
ippines we thought we had to have
an eye out as to the purposes of
Japan in the Orient. In later years
the troubles in Mexico have been ours
to a large extent and have necesSi-
tated the use of our fleet and our
army. At the present time there is
great uneasiness along the border.
which accounts for the movement to
extend our southern boundary line
still farther south in order to insure
peace along the Rio Grande and in
southern Arizona and New Mexico. II
is asserted by some who think they
know what is going on that when
President Wilson gets through with
his peace negotiations in Europe he
will have another great task in pacify-
ing Mexico.

BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.


Washington.-Fo several weeks
tnere mas been in circulation something
mat comes very near being propa-
sanua' out 1t may simply be the result
oi more recent Investigations of con-
ultions In Europe. Stories are told in
various ways and at various times
aoout the condition of Germany and
ner inability to pay any large indem-
nity. Then these statements are fol-
lowed up with others to the effect that
II VIII not do to boycott Germany and
that she must have an opportunity to
secure raw materials and that her
products must be bought by other
countries, else her people will starve
ana bolshevism will take absolute con-
trol. Finally these stories eliminate
IN this sort of scare:
All eastern Europe, 1t is said, is bad
~ tinctured with bolshevism. Ger
many, containing the most intelligent
OF all the populations, is tending to-
ward bolshevism, and there is grave
Danger that she may become the lead
err OF that vast territory comprising
Germany, Russia, Austria, parts of
turkey and most of the Balkans. This
would \mean another war and on a
much greater scale and of far more
disastrous consequences than that
which has just been fought.
In this connection it is said that
one reason why the president was so
anxious to get $100,000.000 to feed the
starving peoples of Europe was for
the purpose of stopping the spread of
bolshevfsm. Possibly this carries out
the idea voiced by Senator Vardaman
OF Mississippi, who says that bolshe-
vism is a disease caused by hunger.
1t may be that the hungry hordes of
Europe are going to be great menace,
but it is impossible for them to become
as great a menace as was Germany.
The men who are putting forth these
ideas admit that there is still a strong
sentiment in the countries lately at
war with Germany TO make that c0un-
try pay, and pay heavily, for the in
juries she inflicted upon Belgium and
France and the enormous expense she
caused all the nations in the great
war. They also say that the sentiment
in the United States is stronger even
than in Europe, and they realize that
it would be very difficult to overcome
the idea of eXacting a vast indemnity
from Germany and at the same time
making her an outlaw among nations.
Nevertheless, they are asserting that
it is necessary in order to establish
stable governments in Europe.
