Atlanta, Ca,
The seventy-fourth lynching in
America since January first and the
twentieth in Georgia occurred near
Macon, Georgia, according to press
dispatches, on Sunday night when a
Negro was put to death for wounding
farmer who will recover. AS a
signer of the Address to the Nation
appealing to loyal Americans to
stamp out mob violence and disre-
gard of all law and order and as
one who has shown himself to be
against lynching, may we not APP
peal to you to use your official and
personal powers to investigate this
lynching and show lynchers that they
cannot murder American citizens
with impunity.

distance only once, when their ma
chine was mired for three hours in
the lowlands of a river bank did they
have any trouble what ever, although
several times they crossed railroad
bridges which had been replanked tc
serve wagon travel as we'll. Our con
clusion Is that in many sections or
Europe 80 per cent OF the normal
crop acreage has been put in against
tremendous difficulties. and probably
the average in Europe is above rs per
cent, in spite OF lack OF man power,
INN ements and horses-a most reas-
surfing commentary on the normal de-
sire OF mankind to work and to pro-
ia ce In some sections food is am
pie, but distribution to the congested
centers is broken not only by rail
road and water transport disorganiza-
ton, but also by the political OBJ
struction, still perpetuated BY racial
antagonism The showing is very
hopeful and another year OF peace
will put these people far on the road
TO complete self-support.
An equally astonishing development
at home lies in our own -four con-
sumption. Our prewar normal con-
sumption was 2S5 pounds per capital
per annum, which, by the way, is
lower than in most countries OF Eu-
rope. During the crop-year just end
ed our -four consumption in America
is no higher than III pounds per
capita. We are forced to the conclus
ion that, with better spending power
in our people, they have gone to the
more expensive foods, probably
meats. The annual food bin OF
America is calculated at $18,00O,0O0,-
600. restoration OF our normal
-four consumption to 234 pounds, and
displacement thereby OF the nigh
er-priced foods would save our people
fully $1,000 100000.
Food substitution during the war
accomplished much, guided by the re
spouse OF war conscience. It is pos.
sible to use the newly-aroused social
conscience and secure not only d re-
version to our normal cereal con-
sumption but perhaps an increase?
BY thus reducing the strain on other
foods and thereby naturally easing
the price which excessive demand has
made, saving in the food bill would
reach beyond the actual difference in
cost between meats and cereals.
"For that section of the public that
proposes outright subsidy Of food
there is only the reply that the act
establishing the wheat directors CT
fee did not contemplate nor author
ize deliberate subsidy OF food and
that that policy cannot be embarked
upon without the unequivOcal dircc
ton of Congress"

London.-By merely hanging the pic
ture of a dog, the Scottish National
galleries may acquire very substan-
tial portion of fortune estimated at
S35O,O00.
CalIum, the dog, belonged to James
Cowan Smith of Bothamsall hall, near
Retford, who died recently. Mr.. Smith
was very fond of dogs and kept a
number of them. Mr.. Smith had pic
ture of "Callum With a Dead Rat
painted in oils. Under Mr.. Smiths
will the trustees of the Scottish Ma
tional galleries win receive part of his
estate If they will agree to hang this
picture ain conspicuous place" In one
of the galleries under their control.
To servant Mr.. Smith bequeathed
his dogs with an allowance of $l.2o
week for the keep of each Of them
and an annuity of $3.50.

When Lawyers Strike.

Lawyers as we'll as policemen. have
been known TO strike. Some years ago
the barriSters practising in Sierra
Leone were so dissatisfied with the
Judge who was acting as substitute for
the chief justice while the latter was
on leave that they unanimously elected
TO give up pleading before him. Legal
business in the colony was. therefore,
at a standstil until the chief justice
returned. France. too, affords an in
stance OF legal strike. One of the
judges at st. Armand accused the local
lawyers of deliberately promoting dis
putes in order to fill their pockets with
fees. Thereupon all the lawyers In
court departed in body, declaring
that they would not return until this
insulting statement had been with
drawn. Eventually the judge apollo
sized. and the lawyers resumed prac-
tlce.

London.--Eighty United States navy
mine sweepers are busy In the North
sea at job almost as dangerous and,
from the viewpoint of shipping, quite
as important, as hunting submarines.
rs They are clearing away the largest
mine barrage in the world. This bar
rage, nearly 80 per cent American
made and American-laid mines, is
about 200 miles long and As miles
wide. 1t closes the North sea from
Scotland to Norway.
The task has already resulted in
casualty toll Of four vessels dam
aged, one officer killed and others
wounded. The U. S. S. Bobolink the
first victim, had her stern blown In
by an exploding mine. Lieutenant
Bruce was killed. Several other Off
GERS and men, knocked overheard, were
rescued. The U. S. S. Patuxent was
badly damaged about the stern and the
U. 8. s. Rail slightly damaged. All
were of about 1000 tons. The fourth
was smaller boat.
Captain Sexton, United States ma
val chief of staff in England, said the
Americans are getting "hep" to the
undertaking and overcoming many Of
Its difficulties.
Thus far the fleet has covered an
area containing 1000 mines. OF these
45 per cent have been accounted for.
Where the remaining 60 per cent are

RedouIns Resist Civilization.

The Bedouin tribes of North Africa
are perhaps as impervious to the in
fiuence Of modern civilization as any
people in the world Since the French
took control of North Africa these wild
tribes have been, supposedly, under
military discipline and guardianship,
but they have maintained their own
tribal organizations and almost COM
plete independence, so far as their
actual lives are concerned.
They follow the traditions of Is
lam and their dwellings, their fur
nishings (Which are few and far be-
tween) and their clothing date back
to the days of the Bible.

Mines soWn In etrInas.

The mines, the map said, were sewn
in strings. All the sweepers had to
do was to straddle the line, pass from
one end to the other, and the cable,
between them, would do the rest.
OF course. the particular mine in
question wouldn't be the only one to go
off. The concussion would always set
off others Immediately adjoining, and
probably still others adjoining these.
These two exigencies were provided
for on the map under the titles zone
Of extreme danger" "zone Of possible
danger" and beyond that zone Of
safety" In addition. there would be n
few other mines free-lanclng around in
all three zones.
The first few days were rather dis
astrous. Captain Sexton and his staff
in London began to dread opening the
mornings dispatches. Gradually, with
Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans
seemed TO be getting on top Of the
job, until now Captain Sexton Is con-
fident they are going TO clean up the
assignment with minimum losses.

New York, August 13-The follow

by Julius II. Barnes, United States

probability of an alliance against the
League of Nations, an alliance which ul-
timately would include dismembered Rus
STA, Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Hun
gary, Turkey and, perhaps, Japan. He
expressed his personal fears that when
such an alliance was consummated not
only Japan, but Italy would be found on
the side of the counter coalition and he
pointed out that every historic linguistic
and religious affiliaton would constrair
the newly formed Slav states to side with
the Russians.
We have not attempted to give an cpl
tome of the entire speech We have simply
tried to stress some of the most salient
points. One of the striking points we
can indicate but briefly. In an exhaustive
discussion of the Monroe doctrine, from
the viewpoint of international law he dem
onstrated that it was not safeguarded by
the amendment in the revised covenant.
In fact he showed clearly, that it was not
even alluded TO because it was not cor
rectly defined. The provision refers to
international engagements" like the
Monroe doctrine, which it further defines
as "a regional understanding" The SIM
plicity, clarity and responsiveness of his
argument in this connection is beyond
praise. First of all, he pointed out that
which all Of us should know-that the
Monroe doctrine is policy promulgated
by the United States for its own protec-
ton and depending ON the United States
for its own protection and depending on
the United States alone for its enforce
ment.
Having set forth this indisputable pre-
mise he drew the incontestable conclusion
that it was not IAN international engage
ment." With equal force he proved that it
was not regional understanding" de-
claring that the very word understanding
connotes compact or contract, neither of
which the Monroe doctrine is.
1t was magnificent address calculated
to arouse the anxiety even of the most un-
compromising advocates of the league.
In conclusion the speaker made it clear
that, if he had his way, the whole coven-
ant would be rejected as mortal men
ace to our constitution, our liberty and
our independence Citizen.

commissionaries, would be involved in ev-
cry boundary dispute and would be NOR
ally obligated on the advice of the coun-
Gil to fight to maintain these boundaries.
A peril not much discussed heretofore
was found by the speaker to lie in the
treatment accorded Russia by the treaty.
He stated that the treaty did not mention
Russia in any terms except those which
required to her ACKNOWLEDGMENT. AS the
lecturer amplified his views on this sub
ject one could not help remembering the
historic parallel of the dismemberment of
Poland, although he did not refer to il.
That dismemberment has been the cause
of wars, both civil and eXtraneous, and
figured in the world war as one of its
most important elements. On this point
the speaker said: O.
s'Nor is this all, the treaty makes a
perfectly clear that Russia our former
ally is to be dismembered, torn asunder,
and that new states are to be created out
of her former possessions.
"This thing we are to do to Russia, our
ally and our ancient friend, in an hour IF
need, who modified in our interest dur
ing the war Il 100000 men; who had I'M
ucI dTlllS dI IIle ILllc VI leT uilJOWdTu EOl-
lapse 100000 men; who fought over
front of $500 miles, engaging on that
front one-third of the whole German ar
my; one half of the Austrian arn,y the
whole Of the Hungarian army, AMI the
whole of the Turkish army; Russia, who
took between 100000 and 100000 pris-
oners; who lost 100000 prisoners half
of whom died in German and Austrian
prison camps; Russia, whose loss in
wounded other than those killed amount
ed to more than 100000, and whose
dead on the battle field numbered
100000.
against this Russia who held the i1rus-
sian monster at bay while the rest of Eur
ope prepared, against this Russia, whose
unarmed sons met and held the hordos Of
Prussia with their bare fists and breasts,
we now guarantee ACKNOWLEDGMENT the
length and breadth of which is not yet
disclosed to us.
