The tug put out to sea, and the
temptation to direct the captains
course and to let Mary Thomas carry
out her little experiment was simply
tremendous. The sea was fat, the
air clear the weather ideal. l know
positively Thai Tony Certeis and his
sailor friend were still guarding the
treasure from the fisherman's hut on
the shore. What a triumph it would
be for us two girls to snatch the booty
away from them under their very
eyes!
My desire to undertake the adven-
ture, on impulse, in my usual way,
nearly overruled my judgment. Had

think I would have made the at
tempt. But in that case. I would not
have survived to record this tale.
Fortunately, my instinct was all
against my impulse. Jims photograph
proved that the hulk of the sea-
pirate was blanketed in sand. Wheth-
er HI was deep or shallow, no
one could tell without going down,
And / couldn't picture Mary wand

and keeping in touch with the living
only by a slender telephone line.
/ hoped that the merciful sands
had buried the dead German officers
in snug and quiet graves. but it
seemed to me that they would hold
to their pact with each other and
with Certeis, hat they would betray
themselves in some frightful way tc
an intruder-to Mary, were she to
grope down there alone-seeking that
string of pearls. In some obscure
way, they had brought tragedy TO all
but their rightful possessor and that
Mary certainly was not. Neither was
I.

Beating the heat-that's our chief
concern in these days.
And beating the heat-to main
tain health and comparative comfort
in August weather is easy enough
by following a few simple health
rules.
This feeling of being ito hot to
live is partly psychological.
Keep you mind off the heat-don't
watch the thermometer,-don't think
only of the heat. Keep quietly busy
about some ask or amusement and
forget the temperature. Don't talk
about it, or read newspaper heat rec
ords and accounts of prostrations.
Keep the general health up to
proper standard. Don't get run down.
Don't overwork-mentally or phys
ically, and be careful to get a full
allowance of boil food and sleep.
Stop eating meat almost altogether.
A little once or twice a week is suf-
icient and it might well be wholly
abandoned.
Eat largely of fresh fruit and vege-
tables-but be SURE they ARE fresh
and clean-and if cooked, are WELL.
cooked. Eat all plain nourishing
foods except meat, or n food hard
to digest.
Water. applied outside and in, is
the best cooler known. Drink cool
water an hour before and an hour
after each meal to provide plenty of
moisture for free perspiration-a
help to GOODNESS. Some physicians
recommend copious drinking of hot
water on rising and retiring to keep
the stomach and bowels in good con-
dition. Cool water, taken at the same
times has proved just as effective as

4 DE1.ISION.

With the beginning of the year l919
we sec the whole world from Russia
west is now being swept by a wave of
expectation that golden age is at
hand, when men will be able to work
less and eat more. They expect, by
and by, to be able to work very little
and eat very much. That time will
never come,
The soil of the earth is rich enough
to yield a good living to all indus
tIaous, temperate men who inhabit the
globe. But it is not rich enough to
furnish an endless line of idlers with
free lunches, to say nothing of steaks,
French fried potatoes, creamery but
ter, white bread, Camembert cheese,
and salads made from alligator pear
which they insist upon having because
some people have them.
We must earn our bread by the
sweat of our faces; and the sweating
is as necessary to wholesome living as
is eating good food
Let us grip the fact, once for all
that changes in laws and forms Of
government cannot make us prosper
GUS We must do that for ourselves,
and can do it under any government
that is responsible to the will of the
people.
Good fortune never will come to
mankind simply as a result of legisla-
ton. Legislation may better condi-
tons for the savings account, but it
cannot make wasteful men rich. I'm
less the Garner learns to set aside a
portion of his earnings for his own err
dowment, he never will be endowed
No law can do much to defend a
spcndthrift against himself.

HUGHES REBUKES HEARST.

Charles L. Hughes is only one of
many men who have refused to serve
on Mayor Hylan's committee to well
come the homecoming troops. The
reason for these refusals is that Will
liam Randolph Hearst was named as
chairman Of the committee.
The mayor rebuked Mr.. Hughes for
allowing personal feeling" to influ-
ence his action and said, "if you and
Mr.. Hearst had been of draft age and
had been called by the government
you would have refused to serve"
Mr.. Hughes replied that he could
show his appreciation of the soldiers
work without participating in "the use
Of the city's welcome as vehicle for

tional administration in his efforts to

GARY's WISE ADVICE.

Judge Gary, head of the United
States Steel corporation, takes this
view of the relations of labor and cap
itat following the war:
Our employees mus; continue to be
treated literally with respect to their
compensation and general welfare. We
will continue to show them that it is
our intention to consider their merits
and to treat them as associates and
valuable assistants in our work,
They understand, as well as we. that
all lines of human activity must sue
coed or fail together; that every in
dividua must consider and recognize
the rights of all others, II we are to
have prosperity, comfort and happi-
ness; that he who agitates for some
thing else is disloyal to his country
his friends and his home; that the av-
erage leader who tries to disturb the
friendly relations between neighborS
or associates is acting from selfish mo-
tives for pecuniary profit or individ-
ual power or position
Here is real wisdom. Judge Gary
advised steel manufacturers that the
price of steel should take the lead in
reducing prices before attempting to
reduce cost. In other words, let cap
ital, where it is able to do it. take a
loss at the beginning of the re-adjust-
ment of prices which is bound to come
II that were done, labor could stand
q reduction of wages, and still be able
to save quite as much money as 1t is
able to save now. If we are to meet
competition abroad, as well as hold
our trade at home, 1t is imperative
that We. get down off our stills as
quickly as possible.
But if the price of labor is forced
down before the cost Of living is re-
duced, the hardship will fall upon
those least able TO bear 1t.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS--
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
by JOSIAH II. REED.

1t is obvious that il would be per-
fectly futile for the peace conference
to say that the boundaries of Europe
ought to he thus and so and then 10
retire without any, arrangements for
enforcing its DEGREES. Nobody denies
that the United States must assume
its share of the work. We must do it
as part of an alliance or we must do
it as part of a league of nations. SEN
ator Lodge is quite right in pointing
cut that the alliance method will get
quicker results. i may take months
to agree on league of nations prof.
ect, and these months come at time
when everybody is anxious to get back
to peace basis as fast as possible.
What are the advantages of the league
idea to make this delay advisable?
In n efirst place, the league of ma
tons idea looks to an ultimate solu-
ton. Nobody supposes that an al
lance between the United States, Eng
land. France, Italy and Japan could
last forever. The impermanence of
alliances is notorious
In the first place the league of ma
nations idea looks 20 the establish
ment Of a peace based on justice and
not on arbitrary power, Alliances and
the balance of power idca have been
the curse of Europe for generations.
If we enter an alliance resolved mere
~ to enforce our will upon the world,
there is no assurance that justice will
be done to anyone. Do we wish to
back up Italy as against Jugo-Slayia?
Not long ago Clemenceau, premier of
France, was saying that France ought
to keep permanently all German ter
ritory up to the Rhine DO we want
to support France in any such under
taking? Are we going to support
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-01-06

Japan if she shows aggressive designs
in China? These questions indicate
| the rocks on which an alliance would
be sure to break. 1t would not be
lased on any desire for justice There
could be no unity in it on any subject
but one, and that one is not particu-
larry praseworthy. the desire to hui
initiate Germany. Indeed if we ec-
cept the partial alliance idea, we shall
ourselves be doing the very thing that
we hated Germany for We shall be
entering on career of world domi-
milton based on power. If we stuck
to our allies we should constantly be
doing injustice to smaller and weaker
nations who would have no redress.
If we did not stick to our allies there
would be trouble right away in our
alliance. The unity of it would be
broken and we should find ourselves
in the old dreary middle of competing
ornaments and international suspic-
ions
The league of nations may take
little time to complete. But If 1t can
furnish a basis of justice for interna-
tional affairs, SO that small nations
need no longer live in constant fear
merely because they are small, and
big nations will find that their lawless
designs are no longer in favor even at
home, then surely it will be worth all
the time and trouble it will take. How
many people know now or care how
long it took to form the Holy alliance,
a hundred years ago? Would 1t not
have been worth a few months delay
if the nations of that time could have
made a just instead of an unjust set
Element? Surely we do not need TO
begrudge q little delay at this juno
turc The peace of the world in all
future time is worth something. Let
US take a long view and draw little
away from our present difficulties
In all the past, treaties of peace
have taken into consideration only
the ambitious designs of competing
powers Small countries have been
divided up~among the conquerors, or
bartered about from sovereignty to
sovereignty. There has been mo JUS
ticc
Even if the old way had succeeded
in averting wars, which it did net. it
might seem that q new way based on
the desire to see fair play among the
nations should receive consideration.
But since the old way has failed so
miserably, since it always led men into
war and led us into a war more hor-
rible than any in history, can we doubt
that now is the time to take the de-
cisive step. to get away once for all
from the old system, and make justice
the basis of new world order? IT has
been pointed out tina our choice is
between hell and utopia So be 1t. We
are fond of saving how practical the
American people are Which alterna-
tive will a practical people choose?

SOME TERRITORIAL PROBLEMS.

A number of vexing problems are
arising regarding the disposition of
territories by the peace conference.
France has let 1t be known that her
interests in Syria are historically bas-
ed and paramount. Also she lays
claim to suzerainty over Armenia.
Having conquered Mesopotap ia and
Palestine, Great Britain naturally will
expect dominant voice in their dis
posal. italy and the Czecho- Slavs are
far from agreement regarding Albania
and the eastern coast of the Adriatic.
China comes forward and wants Japan
to give up Tsing-Tau, which The Japs
AND British took from the Germans
early in the war. Spain wants Gibral-
ter restored. The Arabs declare the
Jews shall not rdln PALESTINE rotwita-
standing the pronounrenant on the
subject by the British secretary of for
eign affairs, A. ], Balfour.
OF course, to the Christian world the
disposition of the Holy Land is con-
sidered sentimentally as of first i'm
portance. But settled in that country
are far mere Arabs than Jews, and
Jerusalem is holy city to the Mo-
hanmedans. as we'll as 10 Christians

The Moroccan tribes are not capable

Self-dctermination is not for them. If

countries. Like other backward coun-
tries, these tribes must be ruled justly
and in their own interest. In the new
order OF Kings autonomy will have to
be earned by Tho backward peoples be-
fore they get il. In the hands of Great
Britain they would be given far bet
ter government for themselves than
they can give themselves. But more
TO the point, they would not become a
menace to civilized peoples.
Spain, on the other hand, never has
made a success of colonies, and she
would be better off without any con-
troll in Morocco, but she should have
Gabralter which is naturally hers and
which in alien possession is a thorn
in her pride.
Britain no longer has anything to
fear from Spain and doesn't need the
great natural fortress she took from
the Spaniards more than two hundred
years ago An African fortress on the
straits of Gibralter would he just as
useful to Great Britain as is the Rock
of Gibralter itself,
But if the peace conference settles
these and other problems that will be
presented before June, it will be the
eighth wonder OF the world.

MONDAY. ..... JANUARY 6. 1919
THE WILSON CLFNlENCEAU DE
BATE.


Although nearly two months have
passed since the signing of the armis-
tice, we s i'll have little idea of what
will be done at the council table in
Versailles. We are told by the cables
that everything is harmonious, but the
statements BY the leaders Of the great
powers are still vague and sometimes
contradictory.
For example, President Wilson said
in his Guild hall speech;
There must be, not balance of
power, not one powerful group of ma
tons set up against another group, but
single, overwhelming, powerful
group of nations who shall be the trus-
tees for the peace of the world"
Two days later NJ. Clemenceau, the
French premier, speaking in the depu-
tics, said, in what was generally re-
garded as a reply to the president
words:
"There is an old system of alliances
called the balance of power 1t seems
to be condemned nowadays, but if such
a balance had preceded the war; II
England tbs United states, France
and Italy had agreed, saving that who
ever attacked one of them, attacked
The whole world. the war would not
have occurred. This system of al
liRnces. which do not renounce. will
be my guiding thought ut the peace
conference if your confidence sends
me there"
About fortyeight hours later. Pres-
dent Wilson, speaking in Manchester,
replied to Clemenceau with practical
ly a reiteration of his Guild hall dec
laraton:
IF the future had nothing for us
but new attempt to keep the world
at a right poiae by balance of power,
the United States would take no in
terest because she viii Join no COM
bination OF power which is not a com
bination OF all. She is not interested
merely in tho peace of Europe, but
in the peace Of the world"
Whether there is actual disagree
ment between these two statesmen re-
mains to be disclosed at the peace con-
ference. Clemenceau speaks as man
who saw Europe torn asunder because
Germany and Austria quit the balance
of power and made preparations for
the accomplishment of the Teptonic
dream of world domination. He sees
no good in becoming partner with
Germany and Austria, which would
have to be the case if the presidents
plan for the United States to Join no
combination of power which is not a
combination of ALL" is carried out af-
firmatively.
President Wilson speaks as an AM
erican who has but recently come in
intimate touch with the affairs Of
Europe. He believes concert of
powers, which has been repeatedly
tried, only to fail, can not be made
workable Heretofore, such efforts
have relapsed into Il balance of power.
At the present, there is "a single,
overwhelming, powerful group of ma
tons who may become the trustees
for the peace of the world" Is the
difference between what these two
leaders say radical or is It only appar
ent?
