REALLY OF ENGLISH ORIGIN
Punishment by Earring and Feather
ing First Instituted by King Rich
ard Many Centuries Ago.

Throughout the English-speaking
world there seems to be widespread
impression that the punishment of tar
and feathers is something peculiarly
American and that the practice orig
mated with and is confined to mobs in
the wilder or more remote sections OF
the United States But the practice
did not begin in America and is, in
fact, English in origin.
The first known use of tar and
feathers was In the British navy 73O
years ago. 1t is on record that in
1850 Richard of the Lion Heart, when
about to start on the Third crusade,
ordered that such of his sailors rs
were found guilty of theft should be
covered with boiling pitch" and
feathers or down be then strewn upon
them.
This ancient employment of boiling
pitch of course meant death, while
the modern application of pitch heat
ed only enough to run and smear Is
not necessarily fatal. The modern
American practice is, therefore, a
more merciful adaptation of an an
cient British substitute for the usual
hanging of a thief

DO 1T NOW!
Edgerton People Should Not Wait
Until 1t Is Too Late.

The appalling death rate from kid
ney disease is due in most cases to the
fact that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place to chronic disorders and the
sufferer may slip gradually into some
serious form of kidney complaint.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches. dizzy spells; if the kidney secre-
tons are irregular of passage, do not
delay. Help the kidneys atonce.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders they act where

"Martyrs."

The word martyr" has various
meanings. Specifically, it is still con-
fined to those who give their lives for
their religious convictions. The eHoly
Innocents' are notable example of In
voluntary martyrdom. The word mar
tyr" should not be applied to q
person who loses mere property, but is
used to persons who have died while
striving to attain their object. The
dictionary gives as the primary defini-
ton Of martyr who submits
to death rather than forswear his re
ligion; specif., one of the early Chris
tians who suffered death for their re.
1igion." In general, the word is used
also to denote one who sacrifices him
self for cause. as martyr to the
pursuit OF wealth.

AIRCRAFT PROBE
Col. Edward A. Deeds Ex-

Be Court-martialed.

Charles Evans Hughes on the work OF
the Aircraft Production Board. has
been exonerated by a special board of
the Judge Advocate Generals Depart
ment of the army and will not be
court -martialed.
In letter to Representative Dent,
chairman of the Military Affairs Com
mittee. Secretary Baker yesterday
said that he had ordered review
of the specific recommendations of
the Hughes report by the Judge Advo-
cate General; that the boards recon-
mendation against a Court-martia! had
been approved by him. and in con-
Clusion said:
Very wide publicity has been at
tached to the acts of Col. Deeds as a
member of the Aircraft Board.
Whether it will ever be possible to
overtake the judgments which have
been formed upon partial information
on this subject I do not know: but
this department will make every ef-
fort to secure the widest publicity for
the action now taken and for the
grounds upon which it rests.
"Inasmuch as the purpose of Judge
Hughes suggestion has been accom-
plished, ] have directed that all the
records in this case be filed i'm the

Budget.

Reorganization Of the army from
a war to peace basis for the pres
ent is a dead issue.
This was determined by the House
Military Affairs Committee yester-
day after Secretary Baker and Chief
of STAFF March had appeared in be-
half of the Administration plan to
make permanent the organization
developed by the war and to. pro-
vide for force of 500. 900 men.
To meet the situation arising
from the fact that. under the law,
virtually all of the enlisted men
must be released within four months
after the signing of the peace
treaty. the committee will attach to
the army appropriation bill a IeEis-
lative rider providing for the exten-
siOn of the emergency organization
for one year. The appropriations
TO be carried will allow for a vOlun-
teer force equal to that proposed
in the departments plan.
Along with the decision not t.
to rcOrganize the army at

military training also is laid on the
table. Secretary Baker said he

PRESS WINS FIRST ROUND

Settlement of War Terms

Of Delegates.

Paris, Jan. 16.-Thc peace settlement

conference delegates indicated today
The balance of power" seems to be
closely divided between the New and
Old-World elemeits. but there Is eV-
cry reason to believe that the progress
sive altruism of the young demoCra-
cies will triumph over the conserYa-
tive egOism of the older nations in
the final clash.
OF the twenty-eight countries otii-
clally admitted to the conferences to
date, nine represent the New World
and eleven the Old World. with the re-
naming eight inclined to lean toward
the younger powers. AS voting will
be by delegations, the new world vote
consists of the United States, Can
ada. Brazil. Cuba, Hayti, Guatemala,
Honduras Nicaragua and Panama.
The Old World representatives are
Great Britain. France, Italy. Serbia,
Belgium, Greece. Poland. Rumania.
Czecho-SlOvakia and Montenegro. Lii
IBERIA, being under American protec-
ton, probably will line up with the
New World representatives 1t is re-
garded as certain that they also will
attract the votes of the British do
miniOns. which. while intimately re-
lated to the mother country. possess
a thought and psychology that is es-
sentially New World This is espe-
cially true of Australia. New Zealand
and South Africa.
The remaining vote consists of ia
pan. China. India and Siam. which
are neither New World nor Old World,
but are expected to play an important
role by swinging the balance one way
or the other on questions where the
vote is close.
1t is already apparent, however,
that it is an error to consider the
European participants as solid
block. While Great Britain, France
and Italy may show a strong tend
enCy to influence traditional Euro
pean viewpoints, several smaller ma
tiOns. such as Serbia, Greece and
Rumania. openly admit the only
hope for their national aspirations
is the triumph of President Wilson $
principles. These represent the
new worlds ideals. Of which the
American delegation is rapidly be-
coming the leading champion and
around which the New World think
ers are rallying
From the above line-ups it can be
accepted that, despite the zcloseness
OF division in voting power. the New
World will determine the future for
all the peoples.
