A NEW ARABIAN KNIGHT
Helen L. Anderson In World Outlook for March

A MOTHER chapter to Arabian
~ Nights" is unfolding. From
Arabia, land of the desert,
birthplace of Mohammed, comes
Prince Feisal, son of El Hussain ibn
Ali, king of Hedjaz-not in search
of a beautiful damsel to be rescued,
but to settle state affairs.
For Arabia wants to be "the
youngest independent state in Asia"
Fired by the spirit of self-gov-
ernment, Arabia wants to set up its
own kindgdom, and, above all, to
be freed from the hated despotism
of Turkey, the rule of a meagre
three thousand Turkish officials over
three and a half millions of sons of
the desert.
The Arabs have never borne
Turkish supremacy with meekness.
In the eighteenth century they won
an independence which lasted for a
hundred years. and as late as 1906
there occurred an Arab uprising so
serious that it drew 100000 Turkish
soldiers into the field.
And while Turkish military sue
cess was at it's height in the great
war, Arabia bravely commenced
hostilities. Her soldiers fought side
bv side with English Tommies. and
the British recognized her independ-
ence. In the last offensive they not
only took forty thousand prisoners
but by rapid march cut off the
Turkish line of retreat, enabling the

PRUSSIANIZED ARMY

~ VIDENCE even more startling
n than that unearthed during
the war was discovered by the
Senate Military Committee in its in
vestigation of the sentences imposed
by military courtsmartial. The
grossest abuses in the exercise of
autocratic power were disclosed.
One Of the worst cases was that of
a young man, not yet a month in
the Army, who was discovered
smoking a cigaret under circum-
stances prohibited by the regula-
tions. He was ordered by a second
lieutenant to surrender the pack
age Of cigarets, and when he re-
fused was hailed before a court mar
tial and sentenced to forty years in
prison.
In considering such cases Senators
recalled that conscientious objectors.
who consistently refused to perform
any military duties whatever. were
recently given honorable discharges
by the Secretary of War, after be-
ing paid in full for the time they
were in the army.
The ugly contrast between Mr..
Bakers actions in the two cases is
going to be sifted thoroughly by the
Military Committee.

Coming Avalanche of Autos

Suppose Henry Ford should sue
ceed in his declared intention of
producing motorcar in the mex.
year or two to sell for $3.50 or 5000?
Suppose the numbers of cars inKan-
sas City should jump to thirty or
forty thousand? How would the
city handle the traffic?
Yet something of this sort is easil =
within the rsnge of possibility. r.
T.. Moskovics. of the Marmon Com
pany, one of the leading motor en-
glneers Of the country, remarked in
q recent interview that the one
cylinder car Is one of the probable
developments of the war. In expert
menting with the Liberty motor it
wns found that single cylinder,
counterbalanced, gave the requisite
smoothing of motion. If Ford
doesn't de' elop the possibilities Of
this inexpensive and simple motor
somebody else undoubtedly will.
We must look forward to the day
when the utomobile will be several
tunes as pIentifut as it is to-day. We
must get ready for that time by
planning for wide streets and COM
prehensive traffic ways. II we don't
this city may choke with motors, and
the cost of the remedy may be al

Who Makes War EpigrdnS?

[From the st. Joseph GaZette1
The production of war epigrams
was ahead of all estimates, as well
as of the requirements. 1t is usually
thus, but the great world war reg
istered what Secretary Baker would
call quantity production of sayings
of fighters calculated to catch the
public fancy-far, far back of the
lines.
who makes the war epigrams?
Nobody seems to know. The gen.
erals and admirals and other great
lights 10 whom they are accredited
always come around in due time and
acknowledge their ignorance of the
origin of the famous sayings" 1t is
said that General Francis Marion
never SAID what he is said to have
said at the sweet potato dinner. The
Decatur story appears to have SIM
ilarly sound foundation; ditto the
Washington profanity story, the
Lawrence saying. the Sherman "War
is hell,' slogan, nd countless others.
Now Admiral Sims says he didn't
say I'VE got ready coming over"
In every war there is an early
and a pollific crop of words of
warriors" The noncombatants roll
these sentiments under their
tongues ana repeat them in public
meetings for the purpose OF enthus-
ing one another. Everybody stands
up and cheers wildly when some
struggling orator, unable to get any,
thing else out of his system in
recognizable form, falls back upon
Il famous saying" as a last resort
and coughs it at the crowd. lie
knows he can get an ovation with it
Just why ii is not easy to explain.
He doesn't know; nobody else
Knows.
The fact OF the matter doubtless
is lha humanity loves epigrams. We
are not particular as to their origin
why look a gift mouthing in che
face? We know the thing is trite,
TO the point and soul-stirring. for it
stirs us. We know we should have
said those very words had we been
in command at the bridge, or the
pass, or on the quarterback, or fac
ing the tort that had to be taken
without regard to the loss of life
necessary. Sc we quote the senti-
ment, and we have a poor opinion OF
the noted man who at last denies
that he ever uttered it, or ever
thought of uttering it, or ever had
the poltunity to do so had he
thought of il.

British to capture seventy thousand
more.
Prince Feisal, delegate for Arabia
to the Peace Conference, voices the
hopes and ambitions of not only
Hedjaz but of the other provinces of
Arabia-Yemen, Nejd, Syria, and
upper and lower Mesopotamia.
Their dream is q great federation
of ALI Arab states from the Red Sea
to the Persian Gulf-free from
Turkish dominion and possibly un-
der the protection of the United
States.
THE youngest independent state
in Asia will be self-supporting," /"
says the prince of Hedjaz proudly.
Arabia has large quantities of cop
per, iron, mineral oils, and q little
coal. With irrigation much of our
desert land can be changed to fertile
farming country"
Disowning the leadership of the
Caliph of Constantinople, spiritual
head of the Mohammedans, Prince
Feisal from Arabia, the cradle of
Islam, is turning toward western
civilization, a Christian country.
I'VE have complete faith in Ameri-
ca" he says. "At this moment the
eyes of the whole East are turned
toward her. 1t is up to her now to
show, that our faith is not mis-
placed"
The new chapter in Arabian
Nights" may mean a new era in the
fight of Christianity against Mo-
hammedanism.

knights and FldlUleSS !

Not as the laureled legions who slew
for regal Rome,
March they who come from battle,
keen for the joys of home;
There are no captives with them, no
Caesar at their head,
With lions padding softly, to fill the
mob with dread
Their victor hands are guiltless.
they've made no peoples slaves.
They're white souled as the children
they loved across the waves.
No city less a city that they were
captains there;
They passed. but there's no wailing OF
women on the air.
Heed ye the babes of Flanders, the
aged of Lorraine
They pray the saints in sadness our
sons may come again!
They used the might of heroes, but
not the hate of Huns,
And Frenchmen loved their laughter
as Vandals feared their guns.
You've seen their smiling faces
you've met their eyes that seem
Somehow to hide behind them the
shadows of a dream;
You've watched them swinging past
you. crusaders that we hail
as fearless knights and flawless who
saved the Holy Grail
You laud them for their valor. but
this your greater pride
In conquering a Caesar 10 Christ
they crucifed!

ARE THEY CONVINCED?

TT is to be hoped that the spokes-
men of the Democratic party are
right in asserting that mo more
is there to be internal conflict on
tariff" If the statement is true, it is
true because the Democrats have de-
cided to abandon their historic OPP
position to an America First" I'M
port duty on goods produced abroad
at costs below those prevailing in
the United States. where higher
wage scales and higher standards of
living prevail. The Republicans
have not, and will not, abandon their
advocacy of a protective tariff that
represents at least the difference in
cost of production here and abroad.
Democratic assurance that there is
to be no more conflict on this issue
would be more encouraging If it
came direct from the dictator of the
Democratic party, who has not yet
given a clear Interpretation of the
plank in his peace platform in which
he demanded a removal of all
economic barriers, so far as pos
sible."
The American protective tariff
policy does not depend for its sup
port upon spokesmen or dictators of
any party. 1t continues in popular
favor because the rank and file of
the American people believe that the
American producer should live ac-
cording to higher standards than
are observed in most of the other
countries of the earth. It con-
tinues in popular favor because the
far-seeing businessmen of America
appreciate the importance of perma-
nent home markets for home prod
ucts. It continues in favor because
there Is still fresh in the minds OF
the American people the disastrous
effects Of the low-tariff law of 1893,
the equally disastrous effects OF the
W1lson-Underwood act of 1918,
which wrought ruin to American
industry until the outbreak of the

Blonde Vampires, Be Warned

Judge Boettner, of Newark, N. j.,
has begun a crusade against vam-
pires, and, being a wise man, has
attempted to establish at the begin
ming of his effort a definition which
shall enable anybody to identify
these dangerous creatures at a
glance:
"A vampire is a woman who
flirts in the streets with men,
bleaches her hair. camouflages her
face and DISCUSSES herself with
clothes and gives wrong names, but
is unable to change her eyes or
dimples."
For many the Sun has applauded
every effort to protect men from the
onslaughts of flirtatious women,
and we wish Judge Boettner the
greatest success in his laudable en-
terprise. Nevertheless, his definition
does not square with the highest
motion picture understanding of the
appearance of vampire.
The most accomplished, success
full, alluring and conspicuous vam-
pire of the screen is a lady of the
pronounced brunette type. She has
vamped her way through thou
SdluS Ol IlllcS OIL HIN anu DeCOIne
familiar in her professional activi-
ties to millions of young, adolescent
and aged Americans. To them she
is the pattern and model of all vam-
pires, and the exclusion of dark
women from the Boettner classiflca-
ton will not inspire the multitude
with confidence in his experience or
judgment.
Perhaps Judge Boettner intends
to begin the great anti-vampire
drive against blondes only, and
eventually hopes to widen the field
of his activities to include the bru-
nettes. If this is his purpose, he
has committed tactical blunder.
He slsuld have started out against
the brunettes, because to-day the
great heart of the people recognizes
in the brunette the queen of all the
vampires.
However, let the protection of
man go on. 1t is a hopeful sign of
the advancing times.-New York
Sun.

RUS is FOR URB

LTHOUGH Congress adjourned
II without passing the legisla-
ton to provide soldier-settle-
ments on swamp lands, Secretary
Lane intends to urge the passage of
this bill next session. While this
scheme might benefit a few, as a
practical plan for benefting a large
number of discharged soldiers, it can
never figure to any great extent.
Thousands of men not only know
nothing about farm work, but they
do not want to live on a farm.
There is more truth than poetry in
that popular song, How You Coin
to Keep EN- Down on the Farm,
After They've Seen Paree?" 1t can't
be done on the extensive and ex-
pensive Lane scale.
Then, too, it would take years be-
fore the men could make a decent
living. The people are ready and
willing to be taxed to almost any
extent for appropriations with which
to help the returning soldiers, but
they are not ready to be taxed for
wildcat schemes.
Give the men money and help
them get the job they are best fitted
for-which will bring not only set
tied conditions, but happiness and
contentment to the men themselves.
