Power of Paris Limited.
The writ of Paris no longer runs
outside of Britain, France, Belgium
and Holland, Scandinavia and West
ern Germany. Broadly speaking,
the rest of Europe is either in a
state of complete anarchy or is act
ing as it chooses. Even Italy. Of
hcially classed as one of the great
powers. has washed her hands Of
cooperation with the allies in try
ing to bring about order. and the

to withdrew Italian troops from

greeted at home with enthusiasm.
Accounts of new wars, revolu-
tions, plots and intrigues merely
add to the confusion and disgust
Of most American readers, who have
neither time nor inclination to un-
ravel so tangled a skein. But our
whole future is wrapped up in this
sad business, and We cannot afford
to look on with the same lack Of
comprehension, we did in 1914. In
this story I purpose to paint with
broad strokes the general European
situation as it is today rather than
supplement the endless details of
particular rows and horrors which
the cables carry daily.
Two main perils confront Europe
today: all others are secondary.
One is the revolutionary movement
everywhere. fostered and encour-
aged by the success of the Russian
Soviet republic in holding out. The
second. in my opinion as serious, is
the breakdown of the balance of
power.

The "BaBIance of Power.r

What is the balance of power?
After the world dominion of Rome
was destroyed by the barbarians. a
period of anarchy supervened until
after the reign Of Charlemage d
rough equilibrium was brought
GbOUt between the nations. The
theory of the balance of power was
nothing new; 1000 years ago Polyb-
ius defined it thus: Nor should
so great 4 power be allowed to any
one as to make 1t impossible for
you afterwards to dispute with him
on equal terms concerning your
manifest rights"
Frome CharlemaEne onward this
became more and more the policy
OF the Western world The wars
against Philip of Spain, Louis the
Fourteenth. Napoleon and, in our
time. William the Second. were all
at bottom coalition wars based On
the desire to restore the balance Of
power. All nations, whatever their
quarreIs or conflicting interests or
old enmities, were at any time ready
to band together to tiGnt a country
that seemed to aim at power over

Is this a history lesson. and why
drag in PoIybius and Charlemagne
into a news story? Because a little
"hiRhbrow' discussion Of the bal
ance of Power is essential to an un-
derstanding of the present situation
in the world; it is to the destruC-
tiOn Of the balance OF power that
the present formidable and alarm
ing symptoms IN Europe are mainly
due.
1t is not pleasant to say that our
country has failed in what she set
out to do in this war. We beat
Germany and that at least was
something. Germany tried to over
turn the balance of power and rule
the world as Rome once did. and
thanks to us she failed. But our
President denounced the balance of
power as an old. outworn theory
that led to continual war. and prJ-
posed to substitute for It a league

division, but by union, not by bal
ance Of power" but by community

ed, and finally die down permanently.
To control this pest, begin spraying
with nicotine sulphate solution as
soon as there is any evidence of the
insect. If spraying is delayed until
hundreds of young thrips are present
the crop will be seriously injured. The
spray material is made by the fol-
lowing formula: Three-eights of a
pint of nicotine sulphate 60 per cent?,
pounds of dissolved soap and 80
gallons of water. Spraying should
be done thoroughly and applied as a
fine mist.
1t is not advisable TO plant other
crops, such as early cabbage and cauli-
flower, upon which the thrips feed,
near the onion fields. After onions,
cabbage and related crops are har-
vested, the field should be cleaned up
to destroy any breeding places
Of the insect. They will continue to
thrive on any portion of these plants
or weeds that might remain in the
field. 1t is a good practice TO pillow
as deeply as possible and harrow the
ground after harvest Much of the
injury can be avoided by planting as
early as possible and by using quick
acting fertilizers after the onions are
well set or the bulbs have begun to
form. Onion fields should be watched
constantly and the plants should be
kept growing thriftily, since once the
plants become checked in their growth
from any cause the thrips will multi
ply more rapidly than ever and it will
be hard fight to save the crop.

earliest of inventors, because among
the pictures on the walls of the mes

Therefore shears were in familiar
use $500 years ago and their general
form has not been improved upon.
This is due to the true engineering
principle behind the shears.
The invention would appear to have
sprung fell-fledged into the world, like
Minerva from the brain of Jupiter.
Imagination is required to picture the

of a pair of shears contemplated the

FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
Intelligence of Man IL Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.

BY degrees man is becoming mas
fer of the seasons. Light and cleo
tricity are being pressed into his serv-
ice, and he can already force on plant
growth so rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method is to treat seed, be-
fore planting 1t, with small doses Of
high-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made of this method near Burn
ham-on-Crouch, in Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown in March
or April. On this occasion the wheat
of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up In five days,
and on September 16 was in ear. 1t
was rea1ed II weeks from the time 1t
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
is IS weeks.
Another method of forcing crops is
to run a current Of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yielc
of oats and beans has been nearly dou
bled. Experiments tried last year Al
Lincluden Mains farm in Dumfries
shire, were practically successful. A
third method is to use artificial light
either electric or, better still, acety
lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbage'
and lettuce are easily forced in thii
way, but other plants such as carrots
seem to resent it. Flowers bloom ear
lier under artificial light, and are NOR
brilliant.

Red LIGHT Aids Plants.

The attention of botanists has lately
been recalled to experiments made at
Juvisy, near Paris, by NJ Flammarion
on the effect of exposing the seedlings
OF sensitive plants to lights of differ
ent colors. Having placed four pairs
OF mimosa seedlings in four separate
pots in dollhouse, he covered one
pair with bell of blue glass, another
with bell of green glass, third with
bell of red glass. while the fourth
was exposed to ordinary white light.
At the end of two months the plants
subjected to blue light We're only one
inch high, having hardly grown at all.
Those exposed to white light were
four inches high, those that had grown
In green light were five inches high,
while those whose light had been red
were no less than 10 inches high.
Experiments with other kinds of
plants gave various results, but in ev-
cry instance blue light impeded growth
and development.

SKETCH OF PREHISTORIC MAN
Early Painting Proves That Thousands
of Centuries Ago Humanity
Walked on Four Feet.

The Paris Figaro gives an account
of q recent remarkable discovery of
paintings in a prehistoric cave of
South France. In particular, sketch
has been found of man who went
on all tours and possessed tail. The
Gccount runs, in part:
Count Begouen and his sons dis
covered on the walls of the subterra-
mean galleries some engravings esti-
mated to be 10000 years old. and in
such quantity and variety that the ex-
traordinary ensemble of prehistoric
art work constitutes a veritable mu-
scum.
The animals figured in the cave are
considerable in number, and include
RENDERS, bisOns, horses, both isolated
and in groups; bears, elephants and
rhinosceroses. The representation Of
feliaes are very rare in prehistoric
art, but NM. Begouen have photo
graphed in their cave a genuine lion,
executed in bas-relief. They have made
out, also, several birds, including
swans and ducks, as well as three
predatory night flyers.
THE human figure is likewise repre-
scented in the cave, which, in recogni-
ton of the sons of Count Begouen. has
been baptized the Cave of the Three
Brothers, A Silhouette is particularly
remarkable, almost battling. 1t repre-

Fellow BelnQs.

IN that simple and beautiful record
of holy life, the Journal of John
Woolman, there is passage of which
/ have been more than once reminded
in my intercourse with my fellow
beings: "Some glances of real beauty
may be seen in their faces who dwell
In true meekness. There is a divine
harmony in the sound of that voice to
which divine Love gives utterance.'
Quite the ugliest face ever saw was
that of a woman whom the world calls
beautiful. On the other hand,
there are faces which the multitude at
the first glance pronounce homely, I'M
attractive, and such as mature fash
ions by the gross" which always rec
ognlze with a warm heart-thrill; not
for the world would have one feat
ure changed; they please me as they
are; they are hallowed by kind memo
ries; they are beautiful through their
associations; nor are they any the less
welcome that with my admiration of
them "the stranger intermeddleth not. !"

Many Editorial Giants Got Their Early
Training on Village Newspapers
of New England.

The old New England village news
papers nourished race of journalistic
giants. 1t was from a little Connecti-
cut office, that of the Connecticut
Mirror that a keen Yankee, named
George D. Prentice, went forth to pre-
pare the way for That great light of
Southern journalism, Henry Waiter
son.
The dingy little printing shops of
vermont trained in the service of the
types many men who afterward be-
came eminent in metropolitan and
western journalism. But the case of
Greeley was an epic in itself. No more
uncouth and miserable little wretch
ever sought employment. But he
frightened up the Northern Spectator
with his youthful writings, which were
then, as ever after, his very own, and
not mere imitation Addisonianisms.
From the shop in East Poultney he
went forth to an illustrious career;
and, whether it liked him or not, the
country had to listen to him. His
brain not infrequently-so his country
men would now express it-slipped a
cog. There were strange lapses In his
intellectual and moral achievement,
but none in his honesty or his good
VIII toward his fellow countrymen.

EucaIyptus-oiI Industry.

The pioneer of the Australian Ell.
calyptus-oil industry was John White,
Surgeon General to the Settlement"
who came to Sydney with the first
fleet, says the Sydney Bulletin. The
following passage occurs in his "Jour-
nal of a Voyage to New South Wales y
published in London In 1890:
The name of peppermint tree has
been given to this plant by Mr.. White
on account of the very great resem-
blance between the essential oil drawn
from its leaves and that obtained from
the peppermint (Mentha piperita)
which grows in England. This oil
was found by Mr.. White to be much
more eficaciOus in removing all
cholicky complaints than that Of the
English peppermint, which he attrib-
utes to its being less pungent and
more aromatic.
White not only used the oil in N. s.
wales, but sent some to England. He
got II from a tree which he called
Eucalyptus piperita, hut which was
afterwards renamed e. capltellata.

CARRIED THEORIES INTO WAR

Like President Wilson, General Eoch
was a college professor before the
war, according to Howard Wheeler,
who tells us in Everybody's that "Foch

but he was teacher, theorist; and
when he became a commander in
actual war he did not drop his the
cries. He practiced them. Many of
the leaders under him had been his
students. He called upon them to do

staff, Colonel Requin, told laughingly

The troubled, busy general would take
the order, read and reread the clean,
careful writing, and then turn to me
and exclaim: "Impossiblel Why, that
would be hard enough to do in maneu-

FIRST SETTLERS IN GEORGIA
James ogIethorpe Leader Of Colonists
Who Had Homes Where Now is
City of Savannah.

The first white settlers In Georgia
landed at Yamacraw bluffs, on the site
of the future city of Savannah, 1856
years ago. and the event is now an
nually commemorated as Georgia
day." James Oglethorpe was the lead
err of the colonists, who made the trip
from England in the good ship Ann,
commanded by Capt John Thomas. and
the party included 35 families, besides
General Oglethorpe and Rev. Thomas
Bosomworth. Through Mary Mus
grave, the Indian wife of Carolina
white man, the colonists obtained the
consent of the Creeks to establish
settlement. Mary acting as Interpreter,
accounts say. Just a week later the
first house was commenced and the
settlement that sprang up on the spot
later became the city of Savannah. 1t
Is noteworthy that Hebrews were
among the first settlers in Georgia
Forty Jews were sent out to the col
ony and reached Savannah in the July
following Oglethorpes landing. A
government was soon organized and
one of the first acts of the trustees,
passed in August of 1873, was to pro-
hibit rum in Georgia. Before the year
was passed a party of Saxons and an
other of Bavarians reached Georgia.

party went up to a man who was

asked: Can you please tell us what

the man replied: ''This? This is a
