The vexed problem of aerial legisla-

the meshes Of the law at New Bruins
wick, n. j., awaiting the disposition Of
the grand jury.
Stanton's troubles arose from the
energetic action of the Rev. Frederick
SchweitZer. Of the Cranbury Pre3by-
terian Church. and the laws of azure

IN the musty archives Of her legisl la
tive history.
For several weeks. it has been the
custom OF Stanton to fly his new
tangled sky buggy into a field along
side the peaceful church over which
the Rev. Mr.. Schweitzer presides. The
flock Of the pastor, attracted like moths
to a flame, elected to watch the aero
battles of Stanton rather than listen to
the sermon, and the congregation OF

hourjshing proportions.
After a vigilant search through New
Jerseys archives the Rev. Mr.
Schweitzer obtained warrant for the
arrest Of Stanton for disturbing church
meetings.

Henderson Sees Benefit

LONDON, Sept. 1e.-"The present
world unrest means that the old order
OF things IS in its death throes, that z
new society is about to come to its
birth, and that the age-long injustices
and inequalities that burdened the
lives Of the common people are at last
to be swept away" declared Arthur
Henderson, secretary of the Labor
party, before the International Brother
hood Congress to-day.
"Class rule in politics is doomed TO
disappear" he added, "but it is still
doubtful whether the ideal of true
political liberty will be realized in this
or other countries without q violent
convulsion of society,""
The main problem now, he said, is to
restore popular confidence in repre-
sentative institutions and "to guide the
movement Of the masses along the path
Of constitutional changes, and to en-
able democracy to become master in its
own house without violence"
Analyzing the causes of unrest, Mr
Henderson said
The development of political nsti-
tutions has not kept pace with the
growth of democracy, which is awake
and conscious of its power, but unable
to obtain any real control of the ma
chinery Of government. The possess
ing classes contrive to defeat the pop
ular will on every first class politica
issue in which the rights and lbertie.

Peace With Leni1e
Told american Mission Last
April That Russia Had
Reached State Of Equilibrium,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The Amer
lean peace mission was told last April
by Lincoln Steffens, one of its nvesti-
gators, that Russia had reached "a
state of equilibrium" and that "the
revolution there is ended, that it has
run its course For that reason. Mr.
Steffens held that the peace confer
ence should carefully consider the
peace overtures of the Lenine-Trotzkv
regime and give q "clear, direct reply
to Russia
The contents of the report made bv
Stetfens, who was sent to Russia by
the American delegation to get first
knowledge of the situation there, be-
came known to-day through publica-
ton of the minutes of the hearing
before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee of William C. Bulltt. an
other of the missions Investigators
The Steffens report was submitted to
thescommittee by Bullitt.
Steftenss was emphatic in his decla
rations that Russia had reached the
top of the hill so far as disorder was
concerned, declaring that "certainly,
the destructive phase of the revolution
in Russia is over" and that "con-
structive work has begun"
Coupled with loud praise for the
SOVIET government, however, was de-
nunciation of some aspects of it. the
report asserts.
THE present Russian government is

government, is further removed from

bit for breakfast and another bit for

government do not have to imagine
the privations of the people, they feel

in Its Eulogies

EUROPEAN Err.nu


Copyright. 1919. New York Tribune Inc
LONDON. Sept. 16.-The war taught
Great Britain how TO give popular re-
ceptions for her returned heroes, but
she outdid herself this afternoon. De-
spite the fact that full! year has passed
since his triumph in Palestine and
Arabia, Field Marshal Sir Edmund AL
lenby got tremendous popular well
come upon his arrival at Victoria Sta
ton to-day.
Vast crowds, including hundreds of
former soldiers who had served under
the gallant commander in the East,
assembled to cheer the man who com
back with a reputation not only as a
fighter but also as the man who
strai ightened out what threatened to be
a difficult tangle in Anglo-French re-
lations over Syria.
1t was the eulogies to Allenby in the
press in the last few days that re-
awakened the public and made to-day's
popular reception possible. "The Tele-
graphs" editorial this morning is tvpi-
cal. It reads:
at is no conventional panegyric, but
a bald statement of fact. to say that
while any memory in civilization en-
dures Allenby's name will be on the
lips of men. In and out of military
history we shall find no commander
not even the greatest. who was more
signally successful than this man. The
verdict for generations to come may
we'll be: None has done better for the
world'"
The approaches to the Victoria Sta
tion were lined with cheering throngs
acclaiming the hero as, with Lady AL
lenby, he drove to his home.
En- route to London the field mar
shall had taste at Doster of what was
in store for him. He was received
there by military and naval repre-
sentatives and addressed formally by
General Sir Archibald Murray.
Field Marshal Alenby soon will be
made a viscount in recognition of his
services.

That is in substance the coal strike
situation as summarized in the state
house today by Congressman James
Strong of the Fifth district. Strong,
who is the first of the Kansas delega-
tion to return from the special session,
explained failure of congress to act.
He said there is nothing the govern
ment may do-that the presidents
power under the war bill is greater
than congress could assert under peace
conditions.
The fact that congress ended the
special session without providing
form of relief to the public during Ia
Dor disputes was admitted by Con-
gressman Strong to be unfortunate.
But he explained that congress would
have cheerfully brought the strike to
an end-zonly there was nothing it
could do.
