A coNrEMprleLE TRIck

One of the most contemptible tricks vas that resorted to by some individ Iai in Atlanta Sunday night when for he purpose of breaking up a meeting Jr preventing the deliverance of an address by Vice President Marshall he was interrupted by messenger bear ing a false report to the effect tha, President Wilson was dead. Just vf1y anyone should seek to spread such ar untruth In such a manner is for the time being unknown. Even thouzt there may have been feeling against the assembled gathering or the speak. sr it would have been supposed thai common sense would have caused most anyone to have refrained iron reserttng to such hoax that wa, bound to have it's effect upon tn, whole community until the falsenes, of the statement could be discovered
 Naturally Atlanta and Georgia wer, aroused over such an affair. It wa. proper that an immediate investiga - tlen should have been started and barring the fact that the one re sponsible cleveriy concealed himself il his Joke, tt ought not to be difficult t locate him, though the running dow of a user of the telephone isn't alway the easiest thing in the world.
 But what appears to be the real jok tn the whole matter, though it wa probably not intended as such, wa the offer on the part of the governo Of Inc state of reward of s1oo fo evidence identifying the person wh started the rumor Of course snyon having information which would dis close it but it is beyond comprehen sion how Georgia's governor though sl0O would be sufficient to pry th facts from those who know and don want to tell. It would have indicate more sincere and determined desil .o get the culprit if an amount in tf thousands had been fixed.

DISCLOSURES SHOULD HELp.

Apparently we have come to the re- aiization of the need of keeping out and putting out the radicals who mean 1o good to the country but as yet we have not provided the proper machin- cry or a sufficient amount to meet the situation if the facts given out by tho congressional immigration com mittee, now conducting an investi- gation in New York. are accepted.
 From the statement of Chairman Johnson of this committed. after ooarding an incoming liner, there is not an adequate force of inspectors provided for separating the lesirahie rom the undesirable- Where the worl, 'hould be carefully done the duties 'hrown upon the present force simply ,auses confusion and the interests ol the country do not get the protection demanded. It is the disclosure of [ faulty system and one of the reasons why we wonder at the number of uu. desirables that get into the country But what is true at the port of New York is likewise true on the border, and it becomes perfectly evident tha tt is far better to provide an adequat, and competent force for dealing witt these immigrants than to pursue niggardly policy and complain becaus we are overrun with the daneerou class.
 While we have no, trouble aequir ing the radicals we have considerabl In getting rid of them and there agai the lack of full investigation regard ing the individual cases and the srea amount of red tape that Is require before action is taken stand out prom tnsutiy.

 Though the BolsheyiIa batteries that had pounded the city from nearby hills finally had been sileneed. Odessa was still haunted by the terror of the late Bolshevikf regime" writes Cap tain McGuire.

PoLAND's MANDATE.

It has been slow work but the agreement has finally been reached in. the supreme council of the peace con ference for the adjustment of the question of disposing of eastern Cali cia. Largely populated by Poles it has been, not only urged by Poland but recognized by other countries that the logical holder Of the mandate for that territory was Poland. The decis-, ion as to that, has, not taken so much time as the length of period over which fesmandate would extend. Po- land with good treason dida,t believe in a short time control because it real : ized that those who opposed it would have every reason for erecting and maintaining obstructions under the impression that it would be for only a short time and the greater trouble they could stir up ,fn that time the quicker the end of it. .=xs.- ..-..
 Under the arrangement to make the
 mandate cover 25s years, after which the league of nations will say whaf Is to become of the territory and how it is to be done, it is natural that the. i'm = precision should prevail that if Poland 
 proves itself capable of governing eastern Galicia under partial auton omy it will in time become part of Poland. That is what Poland wants and it realizes the task that is ahead of it in so treating all therein. who are not Poles so that they will be satis- fled with the sovereignty Of that eoufl l try. ts-s 
 And 1t is to be sincerely hoped 5that it will not require quarter of cen
 tury to so adjust the relations of the Poles and other occupants that peace
 and contentnlent will take the place O war and distrust. Poland has bfg re. responsibilities in Poland. and likewist

RIVAL ELECTRIC WARsHlps.

Every new addition to the navy, es- pecialy when it marks such a ship as dreadnought. attracts the attention or the whole country. There has just been sent into the water the latest product of the shipbuilders, the Cali fernia- This was constructed on the Pacific coast and means the second new warship of this class this year, the Tennessee having been launched on this side of the country a number of months ago.
 In many particulars the floating tortresses are alike. Both are electri- cally driven. Everything from the op- eration of the guns to the pealing oi potatoes is done by electricity is the claim made for the California. Sucf is to all intents and purposes the equipment of the Tennessee. Bott carry dozen 14 inch guns and while they vary somewhat in their smaller guns. torpedo tubes and armor theS are fighting ships that differ from eacf other but slightly.
 IL is perfectly evident that we ar, aping to get a thorough demonstra ton of the advantages of an electri cally driven ship. Of course ships O this character have been built for purpose and that we can readily be lieve is because they are considered t, be more efficient. The tests will show their speed but the use of the, vessel will determine the advantages of thes new floating electric power houses il time of peace and it is to be hope that there will not be occasion fo actually trying them out in combat.
