THE DIRIGIBLE

Germany invented the great dirigible balloon. and made a
failure OF IT, so lar as the war was concerned. She was going
to blow up London, but never accomplished anything of conse,.
quence. England has taken the matter up and has twice crossed
the Atlantic ocean, and, in case of war, there are those who
believe that New York would fall an easy prey to the air vessels
If sent against this country.
OF course we will have antiarcraft guns on the ground and
in airplanes to protect ourselves, and now is the time to provide
these detenses, Our brothers across the sea-" and blood is
thicker than water are strong ligaments holding the two Eng
disappearing peoples together, but even these may be severed bv
circumstances which we cannot foresee at the present time. One
of these great airships can carry tons of weight. and with mod
en explosives can do great harm.
For peace purposes the dirigible may cut a large figure in
the transportation of frcights and passengers, From New York
to London in 20 hours will enable people who arc in a hurry
to make the trip, and for the transportation of ~perishabie
freights, such as fruits and vegetables, a commercial air route
ought to be useful. By catching a favorable wind the great bag
will be carried forward literally "on the wings of the wind" and
time and space will be conquered.
We are on the eve of great things, and those who come after
us will enjoy oonvenienceS that we can only dream of at the
present time. Whether there will be more happiness in the world
than there has been is problemahcal, as happiness depends
upon the individual, and is not obtainable from extraneous
sources.

A WALL FROM THE EAST

Among other things that the war has taught us, it has shown
how many people on this sublunary sphere are being oppressed
and crushed under foot. Little was known of the butchery OF
the Armenians by the Turks until the war drew aside the cur
tain. Jutting far out into the sea from the coast OF Asia is Korea,
a peninsula containing some $1,000 miles OF territory, or about
half the size of Texas. Here are huddled from 100000 to 20
100000 people. A range OF mountains runs along the center OF
the peninsula like a backbone, occupying much of the territory
which is worthless and uninhabited, The low or table lands are
rich and fertile and are we'll cultivated, as the Koreans are an
industrious and a thrifty people. Pain and suffering has been
their portion throughout the ages. In the sixteenth century Japan
captured the country and again in the seventeenth. On both
occasions she abandoned the country soon,
When the Chinese were slaughtering each other one faction
sent up a Macedonian cry for help. The Mongolians came in
and took charge OF the country, establishing the Manchu dynasty,
which ruled for 500 years and until Isl Ann, after the Boxer revo-
sutton, was translated from the sacred Yellow City to heaven, or
to whatever place was prepared for her. The Manchrs collected
annual tribute from the Koreans and as soon as they passed out
the Japanese returned, being attracted by the rich lands and pro-
ductive fields, They have been in control since 1904, They do
not ask for tribute-they want to take all and leave the people
nothing.
Korea, while nominally possessing a home government for
43 centuries, is a backward nation. For most of this time Bud
dhism was the religion, Confucianism usurped empire some 200
years ago, and for fifty years American and European mission
aries have been in the country making converts. Christianity is
popular because it lets in the sunlight of liberty, and this hermit
nation in the last century has ceased being shut in and has opened
its ports to the commerce of the world. The laps have treated
these people with great cruelty, The islanders are particularly
hostile to Christian Koreans and treat them as the Turks have
treated the Notwithstanding them naked through the streets
and compelling them to bear heavy wooden crosses as the Mas
ter did and forcing them to worship the icon of Buddha.
Children OF the weather. class have been educated in Europe
and America and western ideas arc fltering into the country
All this the laps oppose bitterly and brutaNy. The Koreans have
declared their independence and are calling on the civilized nations
for relief from their oppressors, but so far the peace conference
has given them little or no encouragement. They are only one
OF the many peoples who are being oppressed and it may take
long time TO reach their case. If the world is to be made free
and democracy is to triumph, their time must come ultimately
Meantime, bleeding peoples are crying, How long, O Lord, how

house and its contents were destroyed,
but the loss is covered by insurance.
Within 100 yards of the veneering
plant are the huge tanks of the Gulf

to keep the flames from these quarters
and succeeded in combining the con-
f~lagration to the warehouse. Some dam
age was done to the engine room OF

completely exhausted in the end that
he had to be emoved to the city in, an

the scene of the fire and arranged for
city night watchmen to assist the regu-
lar force Of the mill.

enough Of his negro officers on the police force, made the sig
niicant statement that the negroes were appointed following a
demand made upon the headquarters of the successful ticket in
the last election.
Who made the demand? Who asked that negroes be put
on the police force clothed with all OF the authority OF any police
officer, and armed with 4Scaliber automatic pistols with which
to shoot white men? Politics has come to a pretty pass when
anyone has the presumption to make such a demand, and to a
prettier pass when any high official, either Republican OF Demo
crat, can yield to any such demand.
Tell the people, Mr.. Commissioner of Police, who it was that
