THE FIRST TEST.

Those 81 Senators have little to
stand upon in their endeavors to frus-
trate the formation of the League of
Nations. With such a party exponent
of the League as ex-lresident Taft,
for instance. and the undivided support
of such influential Republican papers
as the Portland Oregonian, the action
of these Senators turns out to be pure
" a political filibustering move. But
the forecast Of results is shown in the
Pennsylvania elections Tuesday, which
are commented upon editorially by
the Cleveland Plaindealer as follows:
"The first definite tests of public
sentiment upon the question of league
of nations comes in the twenty-second
Pennsylvania congressional district
where special election was held Tues
day. JohngH Wilson, Democrat, was
elected over John N. Jamison. Repub-
lican. in a section of Republican Penn
sylvania where Republicanism is both
religion and lifelong habit.
"Mr. Wilson made his fight upon
the league of nations issue. He ap-
pealed to this Republican district to
elect him as sign Of its approval of
what the President has been doing
here and abroad on behalf of inter-
national peace. A vote for John Wll-
son was everywhere advertised as a
vote for Woodrow Wilson and the
league of nations. By contrast. the
Republican candidate from this dis
trict. while taking no stand personally
for or against the league declared that
he expected to be governed in refer
ence to the question by the course Of
his party's leaders. That made him
the anti-league of nations candidate.
There can be no mistakihg the
meaning Of John Wilson's election. A
safely solid Republican district revers-
es Its politics in order to signify its
adherence to the league Of nations.
The incident is encouraging to every
believer in such q league. There is
nothing cheering in it for Henry Cabot
Lodges 81 club"

LittIe.knoWn Hero.

OF the many stories Of heroism dur
ing the war on which official records
are silent but which are being brought
forth with relaxation of the censor
ship is that of Captain LarcOmbe of
the antiaircraft defenses of the Lon
don (Eng) district. His Job for four
years has been to find and dispose of
German aerial bombs that failed to
explode when dropped on London.
After each air raid, and in the early
part Of the war there were many, Lar

city seeking the "duds." 1t was dam
gerous work extricating them from
wherever they happened to drop, trans
porting them out Of the city and ex-

During the excitement after q raid few
people thought of the bombs that
failed to "go off," but all of them have
ceased to be menace to the city.
