Way to Beat BoIshevism.

THE president now fears bolshev-
isem,' said eSnator Borah. referring to
another OF Mr.. Wilson'S arguments
yesterday. There Is just one antidote
to bolshevism; that is Americanism.
Take it straight and it will soon put
red blood into the gaunt and sinister
hsure OF bolshevism. The man who be-
heVes In American institutions, Amer
lean principles and American ideals is
wholly immune from bolshevlsm.
The thing stss do, therefore. is TO
preach Americanism and nothing but
Americanism. What we need now
above all things is an old time revival
or Americanism. a reconsecration to
American principles"

The news of the democratic defec-

ed whether Mr. Wilson in speaking of
"contemptible cutters" was referring
to the republicans or the democratic
insurgents.
One utterance by the president yes

people will not, while we sit here and
debate, be absolutely destroyed"
Senator Borah said he is convinced
that a tacit agreement was reached
at Paris to have the United States
made mandatory for Armenia. The

that an American army of 10000 men
would be adequate for the policing Of
Armenia

Famous Casino
Opens In Ostend

OSTEND, Be 'gium, July 9--After
nearly five years Of war, Ostend is
resuming ordinary life as far AK pos
slbe under present conditions, with
the reopening of the famous casino.
A few months ago the great saloons
Of the casino were "A scene of dcyas-
tation and wanton destruction. lhe
buildings escaped the b0mbardment
that transformed so many Of the beau
tiful hotels and vi las along the DigIe
into heaps of rubbIe. and the use of
nine tons of glass has repaired all the
damage thus occasioned, but the
Germans had plundered and defiled
the salons.
Every stick of furniture was taken
away, beautiful tapestries were slash
ed and torn by German bayonets and
every mirror in the halls was remov-
ed together with the copper candida
bra in the salons and the beautiful
copper staircase. Not content with
robbery the Germans left the whole
ace in a state that would have
shamed any animal inhabiting a
stable. But since then miracle has
been wrought, and but for the fact
4hat some of the more valuable fit
things are at present only temporarily
replaced by imitation, there is no eyi-
denee Of the war SO far as the casino
is concerned

BLIZZARD AND FOG IN THIS
PHOTOPLAY.

Among the realistic scenes in THE

these scenic effects are said to be
startling in their effect,
Hugh Ford, who directed the pic
ture, was the first director to produce
ON the stage realistic London fog
This was done first in the London
production of "a Dawn of a Tomor-
row. and it created tremendous
sensation, He later produced the same
pfay in New York, where much COM
ment was caused by the nove-ty OF
his effects.
Mr.. Ford was also the first person
to produce realistic snow storm on
the stage. This was in a play called
aTold in The Hills" which run at the
I;vceum. New York, Hitherto stage
snow-storins had been crude things,
laughable rather than convincing. IN
"The Woman Thou Gavest Me-" both
effects have been startling'y pre-
sented. Catherine MacDona d has
the leading woman's role and Mi'ten

WOULD ABOLISH
SCRIPT WRITING
Will Replace Same With Print-writ
ing To Save Time And Labor
Movement Started London,
Associated Press

LONDON, July 9-To abolish
script writing and replace by print
writing is the purpose Of an influen-
tally supported movement begun in
this country. Advocates of the charge
contend that the present system fail )
to stand the test Of commercial life
in Eng'an and causes a great loss Of
time and labor.
The characters used in the propos-
ed system are the ordinary printed
letters, known as Roman block let
tes's, with the exception of the "a"
and "g" which are simplified into
their script froms. The print char
acters were employed by monks long
before script-writing came into fash
ion and can still be seen in ancient
manuscripts from which, in fact, they
were first copied by the printer.
Advocates of print writing claim
it possesses many advantages over
ordinary handwriting, especially to
the teacher that, the same characters
being employed both for writing and
reading, the child learns much more
quickly, and it is further asserted
that his spelling and his education as
a whole are correspondingly benefit
ed.
Many British educational authori-
ties favor print-writing and it is
taught in numerous British schools.
No time is wasted in the new system
on innumerable joinings. Superflu-
Gus loops and flourishes are abolished.
One big London firm has adopted
the system and other concerns are
said to be considering it's use.

One OF Most Remark
able Discoveries Ever
Made In Europe
SITE WAS ONCE
FORTIFIED AREA
The Silver Is Said To
Be Exceptionally
Pure

EDINBURG, July "a hoard Of
battered silver plate dating back t.
the fourth century has been found
on the estate near here of the British
Foreign Minister, A. ]. Balfour. II
is described as one of the most re-
markable archaeological discoveries
ever made in Northern Europe. Mr..
Balfour had agreed with the excava-
tors that all finds should become the
property of the nation, and the sill
yer vessels have been transferred to
the Queen Street museum in this city.
The silver is said to be exceptionally
pure.
The site of the discovery is known
as Traprain Law 1t was once for
titled alea, which covers sixty acres
and gives evidence Of occupation at
intervals during the first four centu
ries of the Christian era. 1t is be
lieved to have been at one time the
site Of Celtic settlement under
Roman rule. Its latest inhabitants
are thought to have been Saxon pir-
ates.
Excavators for the Queen Street
museum struck small pit which wa,
filled to the brim wi battered sill
yer vessels and few coins Of the
Emperors Valens and Gratian. The
vessels were crushed and disfigurad
indicating that they were regarded as
booty and intended for the melting
pot, They include agons, chalices,
p alters, bowls and spoons. On them
can be desciphered Christian Symbols \
such as Chi-Rho, Alpha, Omega and
Iesvs Christvs. Scenes portrayed in
relief are mainly from Bible history.
The gem Of the collection is a rich /
ly decorated flask, beautifully embos- |
sed and bearing the inscription,
"Pwmiacoeisiapi," which has net yet
been translated Archeo'ogists have
not been able to say whether the ves-
sells were spoils taken from one single !
church or from number of different I
places, Some Of the silver is gilded,
some enamel. ed, and some inlaid with
gold.
