IN THE DAYS NEWS
Odessa

= Before the war no city of the Near East, save Bucharest, so nearly re sembled Paris and Vienna in it's hectic night life as did Odessa" says a bull letin from the National Geogra phic Society concerning the city reported to be occupied by Ukrainian soviet troops.
 Odessa had hundreds of sidewalk cafes, it's municipal opera, it's palaces chance, its gilded halls of the half
 world. It had more than half million population, yet is one of the newest cities in Europe. Moscow's history ex-
 tends over q thousand years, that of
 Odessa only little beyond a century.
 There is a unique analogy between Odessa and the capital city of the Uni
 ted States. Both were started at about the same time-during the last decade of the eighteenth century-and both were begun because of the far-seeine wisdom of the chief executives of the two nations
 Perhaps the oldest coincidence is the fact that they both were planned l by foreign civil engineers of the same nation. While Major L'Enfant was de- l'vising the city of magnificent distan- i ces' to be erected on the banks of the Potomac, Voland, also a Frenehman laid out Odessa on the shore of the
 Black Sea. While President Washing ton was dreaming into being the beaut- i iful city which bears his name. Car ina Catherine the Great was sponsor ing the upbuilding of an municipa ! stepping stone toward the chief ob- i ject of the Russian Bears stealthy i tread-Constantinop .. i Like Washington. Odessa was laid
 out in the midst Of virtual wilderness and swamp. An isolated Turkish fort ! khaji- Bey, stood on the site of the 1 present city at the time, 17S9, when il
 passed to Russia. Tn early years of the l Christian era Greek colonists had talk en advantage of the Bay of Odessa. Until five years ago the railway ] distance between Odessa and Moscow was more than a thousand miles, but
 a new line. via Bakhmatch. reduced that distance to S14 miles, The steam
 ship distance between Odessa and Constantinople is 360 miles.
 From it's history it is evident why j Odessa was far from typical Russian
 city. Mark Twain found the only Rus ] sian things about it to be the shape ot 1 the droshkis and the dress of the
 drivers. He might have mentioned

 The study of European geography is bound to be uncertain until after the peace conference has completed it's work, s..
 The idea of returning to the use of war bread cannot be exactly pleasing to Europe but it. is not so bad as re- turning to war.
 Norwich has always turned out a handsome total in the Liberty loans and there will be no failure in the fi- nal undertaking.
 If Europe has got to go onto war bread in order to provide food for the bolsheviki in Russia, there's likely to be some kicking. After what the soldiers and sailors did, those who remained at home should be anxious to lend the money to pay the expenses. | It looks as if all the allied repre- sentatiyes now feel that there Is goo6 , and sufficient reason for all the arti cles of the league covenant as revised If you ever stop to notice it, it i: not from the going up but from tht coming down that the aviators re- ceive their bumps, fatal and other. wise.

 amounts to 4ee miles of traekage. Al- so there have been constructed huge warehouses, repair plants. arms fac tories and Bharves, some of the men being engaged at the present time in construction work of this kind which it is expected will keep them busy for three or four months to come.
 This is all a part of the work of preparation. Much of the material will be disposed of where it is at the best price that can be obtained. Other material will be brought home. 1nas- much as there are a million soldiers or thereabouts on the other side there will be use for much of the food that is in store there, but such things as the railroads, wharves and store houses will not be disturbed. They will be sold to the highest bidder and France will be glad to get the benefi1 of them. Such a surplus represents large amount of money but it is only what helped to turn the tide of wal and what is made necessary under those conditions if success is going te pe obtained.

STOCKS OF WAR MATERIALS.

There are large quantities of war supplies owned by this country not only held in this country but stored on the other side. It was part of the work of this country to get such ma terial across the water for the use of the army in driving back the Ger mans. How much was going to be re- quired it was impossible to estimate because it could not be told how long it would take. but it was amassed with the idea of making complete job of it and the result is that there is a large amount which will not be used for the purpose intended.
 It is not surprising therefore that it is claimed there are 10000 army au- tomobfles in France, 10000 aeroplanes which have not been unhoxed. a re- frigerating plant containing two mil lion tons of fresh meat. while it is knewn that there is a large amount of railroad material locomotives. rolling stock of other kinds and what

PROGRESS IN FLYING.

Where the crossing of the Atlantic in the air was considered only a dream a few years ago the situation is entirely changed today. It not only seems possible for such a flight to be made but quite probable that it will be accomplished this year and may be next month. Not only has it been shown that it is possible to at tain sufficient speed to negotiate the distance in 24 hours or less. but ma chimes have been built which will carry crews of five members and a sufficient quantity of gasoline to keep the machine going for that period.
 In connection with the transoceanic flight it has been urged that tests should first be made over land for a similar distance. and though those who arc getting. ready for the cross ing of the Atlantic have not actually participated in such long distance tryouts there are others who have and the result is decidedly favorable.
 Only recently the first non stop flight between Chicago and New York has been made. Within day or two another aviator has made a 20 hour flight without stopping for an esti- mated distance of. 125o miles without attempting to fly between any special points and without trying for speed while a third in flying from San Die go to Jacksonville with only four stops, and going at the rate of 197 miles an hour established a new rec ord and showed, the. possibilities of coast to coast trips. e
 The plans for the ocean flight are naturally awakening widespread in terest and whether the crossing is ac- conplished on the first attempt it is certain to be done sooner or later for air navigation has come to stay and is still due for great development.

burdens and yet the money had to be found, for MT. Burleson could not but follow in the footsteps of the admiis- tration of which he is so conspicuous a part. To the striking employees it makes no difference where the money comes from as long as he gets it. To the pliant administration it was po- htically advantageous to yield to all demands as long as the necessary funds could be exacted from railway companies or taken without popular protest from the national treasury. That day, however, has passed. pub lie sentiment has been thoroughly awakened to the impossibilities Of po- litfcal management of business enter prises. and even MT. Burleson. chief exponent of government ownership apparently in despair of being able to extricate himself has just recommend : ed to his chief to get out of the whole mess by handing the wires and cables back to their owners

IMPROVING THE FILMS.

When q deputy police commissioner of New York recently ordered a cru sade against proprietors of moving picture houses and declared that the clergy, educators. judges and welfare workers might as well lock the churches. shut the books and close the courts if the showing of filthy mo- ton pictures was to be allowed in that city and throughout the country, it was perfectly evident that some move toward reform could be expect ed. -...
 Within month following that statement and the assertion that such pictures were responsible for juvenile delinquency a move has been made to change conditions. Not only has it been recognized that such situation should not be allowed to continue but it has been appreciated by the motion picture industry that no small share of the responsibility rests upon it, and it appreciates the fact that from it's own standpoint it is far better to re- form itself than it would be to submit to the directions of authorities named to bring about the desired changes.
 Thus we find that the National Associati ton of motion picture makers has adopted a resolution to the effect that it's members will refuse to allow their films to go to any house where pictures are shown that are obscene immoral salacious or tend to debase morals. It is a healthy sign but such signs have been manifested before and unless this stand is maintained further action will be required. None understands that better than the moving picture makers. They are | anything but keen for the establish
 ment of a censorship in order to make | the movies clean. If the new stand
 ard thus adopted is not lived up to however there is only one thing tc expect for there is enough evil with
 out having more encouraged under | the guise of entertainments.

JUST BETWEEN FRIENDS


 The girl in the wasp-like skirt and new spring hat raised in amazement her narrow lined eyebrows as she paused beside her friend in the new cape coat at the lining counter. ] My dear" she murmured 'Gf am surprised Actually buying table cloths and things. Then you really are going to marry him? ?"
